         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).

           Reasons
           ,
           why
           he
           insisted
           so
           largely
           upon
           it
           ;
           That
           he
           foresaw
           that
           a
           like
           Judgment
           was
           yet
           behind
           ,
           if
           timely
           Repentance
           and
           Reformation
           did
           not
           prevent
           it
           ;
           and
           he
           would
           often
           mourn
           upon
           the
           foresight
           of
           this
           ,
           long
           before
           it
           came
           .
        
         
           From
           this
           Spirit
           he
           gave
           mournfull
           intimations
           of
           the
           Death
           of
           King
           Charles
           the
           I
           ▪
           of
           whom
           he
           would
           be
           often
           speaking
           with
           fear
           and
           trembling
           ,
           even
           when
           the
           King
           had
           the
           greatest
           Success
           ;
           and
           would
           therefore
           constantly
           pray
           ,
           and
           gave
           all
           Advice
           possible
           ,
           to
           prevent
           any
           such
           thing
           .
        
         
           From
           this
           Spirit
           he
           foresaw
           his
           own
           Poverty
           in
           Worldly
           things
           ;
           and
           this
           he
           would
           often
           speak
           of
           ,
           with
           admiration
           
           to
           the
           Hearers
           ,
           when
           he
           was
           in
           his
           greatest
           Prosperity
           ,
           which
           the
           event
           did
           most
           certainly
           verifie
           .
        
         
           From
           this
           Spirit
           he
           predicted
           the
           Divisions
           and
           Confusions
           in
           England
           ,
           about
           Religion
           ,
           and
           the
           sad
           Consequences
           of
           it
           ;
           some
           of
           which
           we
           have
           seen
           fulfilled
           ,
           and
           I
           pray
           God
           the
           rest
           ,
           which
           he
           feared
           ,
           may
           not
           also
           be
           accomplished
           .
        
         
           Lastly
           ,
           from
           this
           Spirit
           he
           foretold
           ,
           That
           the
           greatest
           stroke
           upon
           the
           Reformed
           Churches
           was
           yet
           to
           come
           ;
           and
           the
           time
           of
           the
           utter
           ruine
           of
           Rome
           should
           be
           when
           she
           thought
           her self
           most
           secure
           ;
           and
           to
           this
           last
           ,
           I
           shall
           add
           a
           brief
           Account
           from
           the
           Person
           's
           own
           hand
           who
           was
           concern'd
           .
        
         
           The
           year
           before
           the
           Primate's
           Death
           ,
           I
           went
           to
           him
           ,
           and
           earnestly
           desired
           him
           to
           grant
           me
           in
           Writing
           his
           Apprehensions
           
           of
           Justification
           ,
           and
           Sanctification
           by
           Christ
           ,
           because
           I
           had
           formerly
           heard
           him
           Preach
           upon
           those
           Points
           ,
           wherein
           he
           seemed
           to
           make
           those
           great
           Mysteries
           more
           intelligible
           to
           my
           mean
           Capacity
           ,
           than
           any
           Discourse
           I
           had
           heard
           from
           others
           ;
           but
           by
           reason
           I
           had
           an
           imperfect
           Memory
           of
           the
           particulars
           ,
           I
           took
           the
           boldness
           to
           importune
           him
           ,
           That
           he
           would
           please
           to
           give
           me
           a
           brief
           Account
           of
           them
           in
           writing
           ,
           whereby
           I
           might
           the
           better
           imprint
           them
           in
           my
           memory
           ;
           o●
           which
           he
           would
           willingly
           have
           excused
           himself
           ,
           by
           declaring
           ,
           his
           Intentions
           of
           not
           writing
           any
           more
           ;
           adding
           ,
           That
           if
           he
           did
           write
           any
           thing
           ,
           it
           should
           not
           exceed
           a
           sheet
           or
           two
           :
           but
           upon
           my
           continued
           importunity
           ,
           I
           at
           last
           obtained
           his
           promise
           .
        
         
           He
           coming
           to
           Town
           some
           
           time
           after
           ,
           was
           pleased
           to
           give
           me
           a
           Visit
           ;
           where
           I
           failed
           not
           to
           challenge
           the
           benefit
           of
           his
           promise
           made
           to
           me
           ;
           to
           which
           he
           replyed
           ,
           
             That
             he
             had
             not
             writ
             ,
             and
             yet
             could
             not
             charge
             himself
             with
             any
             breach
             of
             promise
             ;
             for
             (
             said
             he
             )
             I
             did
             begin
             to
             write
             ,
             but
             when
             I
             came
             to
             write
             of
             Sanctification
             ,
             that
             is
             ,
             of
             the
             new
             Creature
             ,
             which
             God
             formeth
             by
             his
             Spirit
             in
             every
             Soul
             ,
             which
             he
             doth
             truly
             regenerate
             ,
             I
             found
             so
             little
             of
             it
             wrought
             in
             my self
             ,
             that
             I
             could
             speak
             of
             it
             only
             as
             Parrots
             by
             rote
             ,
             and
             without
             the
             knowledge
             and
             understanding
             of
             what
             I
             might
             have
             exprest
             ;
             and
             therefore
             I
             durst
             not
             presume
             to
             proceed
             any
             farther
             upon
             it
             .
          
        
         
           When
           I
           seemed
           to
           stand
           amaz'd
           to
           hear
           such
           an
           humble
           Confession
           ,
           from
           so
           great
           and
           
           experienced
           a
           Christian.
           He

             no
             less

             than

             Man
             to
             be
             brought
             to
             an
             entire
             resignation
             of
             his
             Will

             the

             of
             his
             Soul
             ,
             continually
             in
             the
             flames
             of
             love
             ,
             as
             a

             Burnt-offering
             to
             Christ
             ,
             and
             how
             little
             (
             says
             he
             )
             are
             many
             of
             those
             who
             profess
             Christianity
             experimentally
             acquainted
             with
             this
             Work
             on
             their
             Souls
             .
          
        
         
           By
           this
           Discourse
           ,
           I
           conceived
           he
           had
           very
           excellently
           and
           clearly
           discovered
           to
           me
           that
           part
           of
           Sanctification
           ,
           which
           he
           was
           unwilling
           to
           write
           .
        
         
           I
           then
           presumed
           to
           enquire
           of
           him
           ,
           what
           his
           present
           apprehensions
           were
           ,
           concerning
           
           a
           great
           Persecution
           which
           should
           fall
           upon
           the
           Church
           of
           God
           in
           these
           Nations
           of
           
             England
             ,
             Scotland
          
           ,
           and
           Ireland
           ,
           of
           which
           this
           reverend
           Primate
           had
           spoken
           many
           years
           before
           ,
           when
           we
           were
           in
           Peace
           and
           Settlement
           .
        
         
           I
           ask'd
           him
           whether
           he
           did
           believe
           those
           sad
           times
           were
           past
           ,
           or
           to
           come
           ,
           he
           told
           me
           ,
           
             They
             were
             to
             come
             ,
             and
             that
             he
             did
             as
             fully
             expect
             it
             ,
             as
             ever
             he
             had
             done
             :
             adding
             ,
             That
             this
             sad
             Persecution
             would
             fall
             upon
             all
             the
             Protestant
             Churches
             in
             Europe
             .
          
        
         
           
             I
             replyed
          
           ,
           I
           hoped
           it
           might
           be
           past
           ,
           as
           to
           these
           Nations
           of
           ours
           ,
           since
           I
           thought
           ,
           that
           though
           we
           have
           been
           punished
           much
           less
           than
           our
           Sins
           have
           deserved
           ,
           and
           that
           our
           late
           Wars
           have
           made
           far
           less
           devastations
           ,
           than
           War
           commonly
           brings
           where
           it
           pleaseth
           God
           in
           Judgment
           to
           suffer
           it
           ;
           
           yet
           we
           must
           needs
           acknowledge
           ,
           that
           many
           great
           Houses
           have
           been
           burnt
           ,
           ruined
           ,
           and
           left
           without
           Inhabitants
           ;
           many
           great
           Families
           impoverithed
           and
           undone
           ,
           and
           many
           thousand
           lives
           also
           had
           been
           lost
           in
           that
           bloudy
           War
           ,
           and
           that
           Ireland
           ,
           and
           Scotland
           ,
           as
           well
           as
           England
           ,
           had
           drunk
           very
           deep
           of
           the
           Cup
           of
           God's
           Anger
           ,
           even
           to
           the
           overthrow
           of
           the
           Government
           ,
           and
           the
           utter
           Desolation
           almost
           of
           a
           very
           great
           part
           of
           those
           Countries
           .
        
         
           But
           this
           holy
           Man
           turning
           to
           me
           ,
           and
           fixing
           his
           eyes
           upon
           me
           with
           that
           serious
           and
           irefull
           look
           which
           he
           usually
           had
           ,
           when
           he
           spoke
           God's
           Word
           ,
           and
           not
           his
           own
           ;
           and
           when
           the
           Power
           of
           God
           seemed
           to
           be
           upon
           him
           ,
           and
           to
           constrain
           him
           to
           speak
           ,
           which
           I
           could
           easily
           discern
           much
           to
           differ
           from
           the
           Countenance
           wherewith
           he
           usually
           spake
           to
           me
           .
           He
           said
           thus
           :
           
           
             Fool
             not
             your self
             with
             such
             hopes
             ;
             for
             I
             tell
             you
             ,
             all
             you
             have
             yet
             seen
             ,
             hath
             been
             but
             the
             beginning
             of
             Sorrows
             ,
             to
             what
             is
             yet
             to
             come
             upon

             Protestant
             Churches
             of
             Christ
             ,
             who
             will
             e'er
             long
             fall
             under
             a
             sharper
             Persecution

             ever

           O

           we
           have
           sinned
           against
           thee

           and
           as
           the
           Prophet
           David
           says
           Psal.

             stand
             in
             thy

             when

           no

           Sinning
           ,
           and
           therefore
           God's
           Wrath

           our
           Transgression
           was
           above
           Measure
           ,
           so
           God's
           Judgment
           is
           without
           Measure
           .
           It
           is
           St.
           
           Chrysostom's
           Note

           concerning

           God

           That
           as
           the
           Sodomites
           inverted
           the
           course
           of
           Nature

           Woman

           Man
           ;
           so
           God
           changed
           the
           Order
           ,
           by
           showring
           down
           Fire
           instead
           of

           Thus
           doth
           the
           Almighty's
           Justice
           ever
