         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).

           First

           Entring
           into
           due
           consideration
           of

           that
           now

           Christian
           Reader
           ,
           I
           find
           there
           are
           thrée
           causes
           thereof
           .
        
         
         
           The
           first
           and
           chiefest
           is
           sinne
           .
           
        
         
           The
           second
           is
           the
           corruption
           of
           the
           aire
           .
        
         
           The
           third
           and
           last
           cause
           ,
           is
           the
           euill
           disposition
           of
           the
           body
           ,
           bred
           by
           euill
           diet
           ,
           and
           the
           abuse
           of
           things
           called
           
             Res
             non
             naturales
          
           ,
           things
           not
           natural
           :
           not
           so
           called
           ,
           for
           that
           they
           are
           against
           nature
           ,
           but
           because
           through
           the
           abuse
           of
           them
           nature
           is
           debilitated
           ,
           corrupted
           ,
           and
           oftentimes
           vtterly
           destroyed
           .
        
         
           The
           first
           cause
           ,
           I
           say
           ,
           is
           sinne
           .
           The
           holy
           Scriptures

           manie

           how
           the
           Lord
           oftentimes
           punisheth
           his
           people
           for
           their

             ?
             I
             will
             smite
             them
             with
             the

           Why
           doth
           the

           here
           threaten

           whom
           we

           Many
           more
           places
           could

           Manie

           tenne
           yeares
           since
           this
           Citie
           of
           London
           was
           visited
           and
           afflicted
           with
           this
           sicknes
           ,
           dispersing
           it selfe
           into
           diuers

           many
           places
           of
           this
           land
           ,
           cutting
           off
           and
           taking
           away
           a
           great
           multitude
           of
           people

           and
           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           sin
           was
           a
           great

           O
           that
           man
           would
           therefore
           remember

           And
           consider
           the
           end
           of
           his
           creation

           but
           we
           daily
           dishonour
           him
           by
           committing
           of
           sinne

           that
           honor
           and
           seruice
           that
           is

           I

             then

             is
             very
             dangerous
             :
             the
             reason
             is

             againe
             .
             Then
             farewell
             life
             .
             This
             I
             haue
             knowne
             ,
             and
             I
             am
             perswaded
             may
             die
             that
             might
             liue
             ,
             if
             this
             were
             séene
             vnto
             .
             Therefore
             to
             preuent
             danger
             ,
             rather
             open
             the
             botch
             before
             it
             be
             full
             turned
             vnto
             suppuration
             ,
             and
             vse
             cataplasmes
             and
             pultesses
             to
             ripen
             the
             rest
             that
             remaines
             .
             But
             being
             still
             hard
             ,
             then
             I
             say
             you
             must
             vse
             the
             counsell
             of
             a
             chirurgion
             ,
             and
             open
             it
             with
             a
             causticke
             ,
             as
             I
             before
             sayd
             ,
             how
             and
             wherewith
             I
             
             woulde
             teach
             ,
             but
             it
             would
             bee
             too
