Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

IN the days of TIBERIUS CAESAR the Emperour , Publius Lentulus being at that time President in Judea , wrote an Epistle to the Senate of Rome , the words whereof were tbese , as followeth , THE SAUIOUR OF THE WORLD IESUS CHRIST Psalm 45.2 . Fairer then the Children of men THere appeared in these our days a Man of great virtue , called JESUS CHRIST , who is yet living amongst us , and of the People is accepted for a Prophet , but his own Disciples call him the Son of God. He raiseth the Dead and cureth all manner of Diseases , a Man of stature somewhat Tall and Comely , with a very reverend Countenence , such as the beholders may both Love and Fear , his Hair of the colour of a Chestnut full ripe , and plain almost down to his ears , but from the ears downward somewhat curled , and more orient of colour waving about his Shoulders . In the middest of his Head goeth a seam or partition of his Hair , after the manner of the Nazarites ; his Forehead very plain and smooth ; his Face without spot or wrinckle , beautified with a comely red ; his Nose and Mouth so formed as nothing can be reprehended ; his Beard somewhat thick , agreable in colour to the Hair of his Head not of any great length , but forked in the midst ; of an innocent look ; his Eys gray , clear , and quick . In reproving he is severe , in admonishing courteous , and fair-spoken , pleasant in speech mixed with gravity . It cannot be remembred that any have seen him laugh , but many have seen him weep : in proportion of Body well shaped and straight , his Hands and Armes very delectable to behold ; in speaking , very temperate , modest , and wise . A Man for his singular beauty surpassing the Children of Men. LONDON , Printed for Francis Smith at the Elephant and Castle near the Royal Exchange in Cornhil .
