         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).

             answerable

           surely
           this
           course

           Besides
           you
           know
           how
           natural
           it
           is
           to
           all
           Mankind
           when
           they

             earthly
             King

           to
           take
           good
           advice

           that

           and

           manner
           as
           may
           be
           ;
           certainly
           then
           
           Christians
           in
           this
           respect
           should
           be
           much
           more
           carefull
           ,
           if
           possible
           ,
           how
           they
           present
           the
           desires
           of
           their
           Hearts
           to

           such

           so
           bold
           and
           rude
           have
           their
           descriptions
           been
           of
           Almighty
           God
           ,
           so
           rash
           their
           Sayings
           concerning
           him

           themselves
           ,
           and
           so
           many
           untrue
           or
           doubtfull
           things
           have
           they
           uttered

           of
           address
           to
           God
           ,
           but
           dishonoured
           and
           hindered
           true
           Christian
           Devotion
           ,
           which
           hath
           suffered
           extremely
           in
           the
           thoughts
           of

           experience
           hath
           shewn

           finding
           that

           some
           did
           the
           Apostles
           themselves
           ,
           to
           prate
           maliciously
           against
           me
           ,
           and
           to
           oppose

           says
           the
           Apostle
           )
           
             shall

             again

             There

             There
             will
             be
             unstable
             and
             unlearned
             People

             .
             But
             remember
             how
             God

           is
           yet
           Three
           in
           Persons

           the
           Son

           Holy
           Ghost

           which
           are
           three
           and
           one
           after
           a
           wonderfull
           and
           mysterious
           manner

           The
           Father
           God

           not
           three
           Gods
           ,
           but
           one
           God
           infinite
           in
           Being
           ,
           Wisdom
           ,
           Power

           God

           under
           the
           wrath
           of
           God
           ,
           the
           curse
           of
           his
           Law
           ,
           and
           the
           power
           of
           the
           Devil
           ,
           
             God
             so
             loved
             the
             World
             ,
             that
             he
             gave
             his
             only
             Son
          
           to
           be
           their
           Redeemer

           same
           Person
           ,
           by
           taking
           to
           him
           our
           Nature
           ;
           as
           to
           which
           he
           was
           conceived
