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 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).

YE Inhabitants of the Town and County of Warwick , prepare to meet the Lord by speedy Repentance , lest the over-flowing scourge come and sweep you into the Pit from whence there will be none to deliver your Souls ; Therefore mind what the Lord requireth from you , Who is Merciful , and Gracious , and full of Compassions let such as have lived in Drunkenness refrain from it , and do so no more ; and such as have lived in Cheating and Cozning , and Deceiving , let them do so no more ; and such as have lived in Malice , and Envy , and Wrath , let them refrain from those things and do so no more ; and such as have Hated , and Persecuted , and Imprisoned the Servants of the Lord , let them do so no more ; that so you may find Mercy and Forgiveness with the Lord , who is to be feared . Therefore turn ye to the Light within which shineth in your Hearts , which lets you see your sins , that so by it you may be led unto God , that His Salvation you may know . For this is the Grace which hath appeared , even to all , which Grace will teach you , as you it love and obey , to deny ungodliness , and to live soberly righteously and godly , while you have a time in this World ; This Grace will teach you to Love your Enemies , and to do good to them that hate you ; This Grace will teach you to pray for them that despitefully use and intreat you ; And also it will teach you to do to others as you would be done unto , and to seek others welfare as your own . And be ye warned to take heed of Malice , and Wrath and Envy , that you harbor no such thing in your hearts against any ; For know ye , that wheresoever this appears , that the Devil is the Author thereof , who was a Lyar and a Murtherer from the beginning , and abode not in the Truth , and it was him that stirred up Cain to slay his Brother Abel , because his own works were evil and his brothers good ; and said the Apostle , Him that hateth his brother is a Murtherer , and we know , said he , that no murtherer hath Eternal Life abiding in him . And it is said in the Holy Scriptures , The Innocent and Upright slay thou not , whose Cause the Mighty God will plead , and save them whose hearts are upright before Him , whose trust is onely in the Lord ; But it will go ill with those that gainsay the Truth . Therefore while you have time prize it , and bring forth fruits unto God , for all fruitless Trees , that Cumber the ground , must be be he●en down and cast into the fire . And though you have been often warned already from the Spirit of the Lord in his Servants , yet the Lord hath put it in my heart once more to warn you , that so you may repent and find Mercy with Him who is to be feared : But if you shall still refuse to hearken to the Counsel of the holy One , and shall run on in Rebellion and Transgression against the Lord , by adding Sin unto Sin , and Transgression unto Transgression still for all this , then ye will surely perish , and wo and misery will come upon you , The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it . Therefore prize your time , and obey the Light of Christ in your Consciences , that so you may know Him to save you from the Evil to come . From a lover of Peace and Righteousness , who wisheth Peace and Good Will unto all men . Edward Bourne . Worcester the Third of the Second Moneth . 1661.
