         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).

           especially

           resolving

           Now

           in
           the
           former
           Edition
           have
           given
           offence
           to
           sober
           and
           pious

           savouring
           too
           much
           of
           obscenity
           ,
           being
           apt
           to
           suggest
           impure
           fancies
           to
           corrupt
           minds
           ,
           I
           have
           in
           this
           omitted
           all
           I
           could
           suspect
           for
           such
           save
           only
           one
           ,
           for
           the
           letting
           of
           which
           stand
           I
           have
           given
           my
           reason
           in
           the
           Note
           upon
           it
           ;
           and
           yet
           now
           upon
           better
           consideration
           I
           could
           wish
           that
           it
           also
           were
           obliterated
           .
           For
           I
           would
           by
           no
           means
           be
           guilty
           of
           administring
           fewel
           to
           lust
           ,
           which
           I
           am
           sensible
           needs
           no
           incentives
           ,
           burning
           too
           eagerly
           of
           it self
           .
        
         
           But
           though
           I
           doe
           condemn
           the
           mention
           of
           any
           thing
           obscene

           yet
           I

           all
           use
           of
           slovenly
           and
           dirty
           words
           to
           be
           such

           modesty
           ,
           as
           to
           exact
           the
           discarding
           all
           Proverbs

           we

           what
           the
           reasons
           are
           why
           the
           naming
           some

           or
           the
           parts
           employed
           therein
           is
           condemned
           ,
           we
           shall
           find
           them
           to
           be
           ,
           either
           1.
           because
           such
           excrements
           being
           offensive
           to
           our
           sences
           ,
           and
           usually
           begetting
           a
           loathing
           in
           our
           stomachs
           ,
           the
           words
           that
           signifie
           them
           are
           apt
           to
           doe
           so
           too
           ;
           and
           for
           their
           relation

           such
           also
           as
           denote
           those

           they
           are
           expelled
           ,
           and
           therefore
           the
           mention
           of
           them
           is
           uncivil

           contrary
           to
           good
           manners
           ;
           or
           2.
           because
           such
           excrements
           reflect
           some
           dishonour
           upon
           our
           bodies
           ,
           it
           being
           reputed
           disgracefull
           to
           lie
           under
           a
           necessity
           of
           such
           evacuations
           ,
           and
           to
           have
           such
           sinks
           about
           us
           :
           and
           therefore
           modesty
           requires
           that
           we
           decline
           the
           naming
           of
           them
           ,
           left
           we
           seem
           to
           glory
           in
           our
           shame
           .
           Now
           these
           reasons
           to
           me
           seem
           not
           so
           weighty
           and
           cogent
           as
           to
           necessitate
           the
           omission
           of
           so
           many
           of
           the
           most
           witty
           and

           of

             English

           occasion
           of
           offence
           ,
           I
           have
           by
           
           that
           usual
           expedient
           of

           onely
           the
           initial
           letters
           for
           the
           uncleanly
           words
           so
           veiled
           them

           that
           I
           hope
           they
           will
           not
           turn

           .
           For
           it
           is
           the
           naming
           such
           things
           by
           their
           plain
           and
           proper

           that
           is
           odious
           and
           offensive
