         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 <gap>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).

           is
           perhaps
           a
           Head
           too
           big
           for

           and
           greater
           uses

           those

           ,
           that
           some
           other

           made

           thereupon
           I
           casting

           I
           found
           encouragement

             There

             to
             be
             good
             reason

             why
             the

             himself
             take

             to

             whether
             the

             increase
             or
             decrease
             in
             people

             whether
             it
             increase
             proportionably
             with
             the
             rest

             the
             Nation

             But
             why
             the
             same
             should
             be
             made

             that
             this
             
               stopping
               of
               the

             might
             be
             the
             Mother
             ,
             for
             as
             much
             as
             I
             have
             heard
             of
             many
             troubled
             with
             Mother-fits
             (
             as
             they
             call
             them

             although
             few
             returned
             to
             have
             died
             of
             them
             ;
             which
             conjecture
             ,
             if
             it
             be
             true

             we

             safely
             say
             ,
             That
             the
             Mother-fits
             have
             also
             increased
             .
          
           
             29.
             
             But
             I
             was
             somewhat
             taken
             off
             from
             thinking
             this
             
               stopping
               of
               the
               Stomach
            
             to
             be
             the
             Mother
             ,
             because
             I
             guessed
             rather
             the
             
               Rising
               of
               the
               Lights
            
             might
             be
             it
             .
             For
             I
             remembred
             that
             some
             Women
             ,
             troubled
             with
             the
             Mother-fits
             ,
             did
             complain
             of
             a
             
               choaking
               in
               their
               Throats
            
             .
             Now
             as
             I
             understand
             ,
             it
             is
             more
             conceivable
             ,
             that
             the
             Lights
             ,
             ot
             Lungs
             (
             which
             I

             heard

               The
               Bellows

             not
             blowing

             that
             is

             neither
             venting
             out

             nor
             taking
             in
             breath
             ,
             might
             rather
             cause
             such
             a
             Choaking
             ,
             then
             that
             the
             Mother
             should
             rise
             up
             thither
             ,
             and
             do
             it
             .
             For
             me-thinks
             ,
             when
             a
             woman
             is
             with
             childe

             there
             is

             But
             what

             have
             said

             supplying
             of
             London

             the
             reason

             London
             it self

             four

             1642
             many
             Males

             1.
             
             I
             Have
             been
             several
             times
             in
             company
             with
             men
             of
             great
             experience
             in
             this
             City
             ,
             and
             have
             heard
             them
             talk
             seldom
             under
             Millions
             of
             People
             to
             be
             in
             London
             ,
             all
             which
             I
             was
             apt
             enough
             to
             believe
             ,
             untill
             ,
             on
             a
             certain
             day
             ,
             one
             of
             eminent
             Reputation
             was
             upon
             occasion
             asserting
             ,
             that
             there
             was
             in
             the
             year
             1661
             two
             Millions
             of
             People
             more
             then
             Anno
             1625
             ,
             before
             the
             great
             Plague
             ;
             I
             must
             confess
             ,
             that
             ,
             untill
             this
             provocation
             ,
             I
             had
             been
             frighted
             with
             that
             mis-understood
             Example
             of
             David
             ,
             from
             attempting
             any
             computation
             of
             the
             People
             of
             this
             populous

             but
             hereupon
             I
             both
             examined
             the
             lawfulness
             of
             making
             such
             enquiries
             ,
             and
             ,
             being
             satisfied
             thereof
             ,
             went
             about
             the
             work
             it self
             in
             this
             manner
             :
             viz.
             
          
           
             2.
             
             First
             ,
             I
             imagined
             ,
             That
             ,
             if
             the
             Conjecture
             of
             the
             worthy
             Person
             afore-mentioned
             had
             any
             truth
             in
             it
             ,
             there
             must
             needs
             be
             about
             six
             ,
             or
             seven
             Millions
             of
             People
             in
             London
             now
             ;
             but
             repairing
             to
             my
             Bills
             I
             found
             ,
             that
             not
             above
             15000
             
               per
               Annum
            
             were
             buried
             ,
             and
             consequently
             ,
             that
             not
             above
             one
             in
             four
             hundred
             must
             die
             
               per
               Annum
            
             ,
             if
             the
             Total
             were
             but
             six
             Millions
             .
          
           
             3.
             
             Next
             considering
             ,
             That
             it
             is
             esteemed
             an
             even
             Lay
             ,
             whether
             any
             man
             lives
             ten
             years
             longer
             ,
             I
             supposed
             it
             was
             the
             same
             ,
             that
             one
             of
             any
             10
             might
             die
             within
             one
             year
             .
             But
             when
             I
             considered
             ,
             that
             of
             the
             15000
             
             afore-mentioned
             about
             5000
             were
             Abortive
             ,
             and
             Stilborn
             ,
             or
             died
             of
             
               Teeth
               ,
               Convulsion
               ,
               Rickets
            
             ,
             or
             as
             Infants
             ,
             and
             Chrysoms
             ,
             and
             Aged
             .
             I
             concluded
             ,
             that
             of
             men
             ,
             and
             women
             ,
             between
             ten
             and
             sixty
             ,
             there
             scarce
             died
             10000
             
               per
               Annum
            
             in
             London
             ,
             which
             number
             being
             multiplied
             by
             10
             ,
             there
             must
             be
             but
             100000
             in
             all
             ,
             that
             is
             not
             the
             1
             /
             60
             part
             of
             what
             the
             Alderman
             imagined
             .
             These
             were
             but
             sudden
             thoughts
             on
             both
             sides
             ,
             and
             both
             far
             from
             truth
             ,
             I
             thereupon
             endeavoured
             to
             get
             a
             little
             nearer
             ,
             thus
             :
             viz.
             
          
           
             4.
             
             I
             considered
             ,
             that
             the
             number
             of
             
               Child-bearing
               women
            
             might
             be
             about
             double
             to
             the
             Births

             forasmuch
             as

             one
             with
             another
             ,
             have
             scarce
             more
             then
             one
             Childe
             in
             two
             years
             .
             The
             number
             of
             Births
             I
             found
             ,
             by
             those
             years
             ,
             wherein
             the
             Registries
             were
             well
             kept
             ,
             to
             have
             been
             somewhat
             less
             then
             the
             Burials
             .
             The
             Burials
             in
             these
             late
             years
             at
             a
             Medium
             are
             about
             13000
             ,
             and
             consequently
             the
             Christnings
             not
             above
             12000.
             
             I
             therefore
             esteemed
             the
             number
             of
             
               Teeming
               women
            
             to
             be
             24000
             :
             then
             I
             imagined
             ,
             that
             there
             might
             be
             twice
             as
             many
             Families
             ,
             as
             of
             such
             women

             that
             little
             more

             whereas
             in
             London
             ,
             it
             seems
             manifest
             ,
             that
             about
             one
             in
             32
             dies

             It
             follows
             therefore
             from
             hence

             13.
             
             When
             I
             consider
             ,
             That
             in
             the
             Country
             seventy
             are
             Born
             for
             fifty
             eight
             Buried
             ,
             and
             that
             before
             the
             year
             1600
             the
             like
             happened
             in
             London
             ,
             I
             considered
             ,
             whether
             a
             City
             ,
             as
             it
             becomes
             more
             populous
             ,
             doth
             not
             ,
             for
             that
             very
             cause
             ,
             become
             more
             unhealthfull
             ,
             I
             inclined
             to
             believe
             ,
             that
             London
             now
             is
             more
             unhealthfull
             ,
             then
             heretofore
             ,
             partly
             for
             that
             it
             is
             more
             populous
             ,
             but
             chiefly
             ,
             because
             I
             have
             heard
             ,
             that
             60
             years
             ago
             few
             Sea-Coals
             were
             burnt
             in
             London
             ,
             which
             now
             are
             universally
             used
             .
             For
             I
             have
             heard
             ,
             that
             Newcastle
             is
             more
             unhealthfull
             then
             other
             places
             ,
             and
             that
             many
             People
             cannot
             at
             all
             endure
             the
             smoak
             of
             London
             ,
             not
             onely
             for
             its
             unpleasantness
             ,
             but
             for
             the
             suffocations
             which
             it
             causes
             .
          
           
             14.
             
             Suppose
             ,
             that
             Anno
             1569
             there
             were
             2400
             souls
             in
             that
             Parish
             ,
             and
             that
             they
             increased
             by
             the
             Births
             70
             ,
             exceeding
             the
             Burials
             58
             ,
             it
             will
             follow
             ,
             that
             the
             said
             2400
             cannot
             double
             under
             200.
             
             Now
             ,
             if
             London
             be
             less
             healthfull
             then
             the
             Country
             ,
             as
             certainly
             it
             is
             ,
             the
             Plague
             being
             reckoned
             in
             ,
             it
             follows
             ,
             that
             London
             must
             be
             doubling
             it self
             by
             generation
             in
             much
             above
             200
             :
             but
             if
             it
             hath
             encreased

             aforesaid
             ,
             the
             same
             must
             be
             by
