         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).

           that
           which
           is
           pure
           in
           you
           ,
           to
           that
           which

           known
           the

           of
           life

           give
           power
           to
           walk
           therein
           :
           For
           this
           I
           have
           known
           ,
           and
           as
           in
           the
           presence
           of
           the
           Lord
           do
           testifie
           ,
           That
           it
           was
           the
           Light
           that
           shone
           in
           my
           heart
           ,
           that
           gave
           me
           the
           Light
           
           of
           the
           knowledge
           of
           the
           Glory
           of
           God
           in
           the
           Face
           of
           Jesus
           Christ
           ,
           and
           made
           manifest
           unto
           me
           the
           Will
           of
           my
           heavenly
           Father
           ,
           and
           also
           gave
           me
           power
           to
           obey
           ;
           and
           this
           caused
           me
           to
           depart
           from
           iniquity
           ,
           for
           the
           which
           I
           was
           hated
           and
           held
           in
           derision
           by
           those
           that
           formerly
           was
           my
           companions
           in
           sporting
           and
           playing
           in
           vanity
           ;
           and
           when
           I
           could
           not
           for
           C●nscience
           sake
           joyn
           with
           them
           in
           those
           things
           which
           before
           time
           I
           had
           done
           ,
           but
           was
           constrain'd
           to
           forsake
           them
           and
           their
           ungodly
           wayes
           ,
           and
           turned
           unto
           him
           that
           smote
           me
           and
           wounded
           me
           within
           exceedingly
           ,
           and
           brought
           my
           bad
           actions
           to
           my
           remembrance
           ,
           and
           set
           my
           faults
           in
           order
           before
           me
           ,
           the
           which
           caused
           me
           often
           times
           bitterly
           to
           lament
           and
           to
           bewail
           the
           day
           that
           I
           was
           born
           ;
           his
           judgments
           fell
           so
           heavy
           upon
           me
           ,
           that
           oftentimes
           I
           wished
           that
           I
           had
           never
           been
           .
           For
           he
           made
           me
           to
           possess
           the
           sins
           of
           my
           youth
           ;
           but
           when
           I
           in
           measure
           came
           to
           depart
           from
           them
           as
           they
           was
           made
           manifest
           ,
           then
           I
           to
           my
           companions
           became
           a
           taunt
           and
           a
           by-word
           ,
           and
           was
           called
           a
           
             Quaker
             ,
          
           and
           at
           me
           they
           set
           their
           mouths
           away
           .
           And
           thus
           for
           departing
           from
           iniquity
           I
           became
           a
           prey
           ;
           and
           so
           the
           ministration
           of
           condemnation
           unto
           all
           that
           in
           me
           which
           was
           contrary
           unto
           God
           in
           my
           own
           particular
           ,
           I
           knew
           and
           witnessed
           ,
           the
           which
           condemned
           me
           for
           swearing
           ,
           and
           for
           all
           vain
           words
           and
           idle
           communication
           ,
           and
           in
           a
           word
           ,
           for
           all
           manner
           of
           evill
           :
           and
           this
           made
           me
           often
           to
           refrain
           from
           all
           those
           things
           before
           mentioned
           ;
           and
           this
           caused
           me
           to
           fit
           solentary
           ,
           and
           to
           mourn
           as
           a
           woman
           that
           was
           separated
           from
           her
           husband
           ,
           for
           enjoying
           of
           his
           presence
           outwardly
           ,
           upon
           whom
           widowhood
           was
           come
           :
           And
           so
           I
           being
           separated
           from
           all
           those
           things
           which
           I
           formerly
           was
           related
           to
           ,
           and
           stood
           as
           one
           naked
           before
           the
           Lord
           ,
           freely
           given
           up
           into
           his
           will
           ;
           and
           this
           was
           my
           desire
           ,
           that
           a
           clean
           separation
           might
           be
           made
           in
           me
           ,
           between
           the
           precious
           and
           the
           vile
           :
           And
           this
           was
           glorious
           in
           its
           time
           ,
           and
           a

             the
             death
             which
             was

           ordained

           to
           eternal
           life
           ,
           might
           be
           preserved
           from
           the
           power
           of
           Death
           and
           Hell
           ,
           which
           once
           reigned

           but
           now
           life
           eternal
           is
           known

           over
           Death
           ,
           which
           once
           had
           the

           And
           thus
           through

           all
           that
           which
           was

           I
           passed
           through
           great
           tryals
           and
           tribulations
           and
           troubles
           for
           the
           space
           of
           three
           or
           four
           years
           ,
           at
           the
           last
           in
           this
           my
           passage
           from
           death
           to
           life
           ,
           and
           from
           under
           Satans
           power
           to
           the
           power
           of
           God.
           And
           thus
           was
           I
           degenerated
           from
           the
           first
           birth
           ,
           and
           I
           was
           throughly
           searched
           ,
           and
           the
           first
           born
           in
           me
           was
           smitten
           and
           dyed
           ,
           which
           bore
           the
           Image
           of
           the
           earthly
           ;
           &
           I
           was
           regenerated
           ,
           &
           born
           again
           of
           the
           immortal
           word
           ,
           that
           liveth
           and
           abideth
           for
           ever
           ,
           and
           now
           is
           born
           of
           the
           Image
           of
           the
           Heavenly
           ,
           which
           is
           from
           above
           ,
           and
           descended
           not
           ;
           and
           now
           hath
           a
           sure
           habitation
           ,
           and

           peaceable
           dwelling

           and
           the
           resting
           place

           is
           witnessed

             who
             is
             as

             Rock

             a
             weary
             Land.
          
           Yea
           ,
           through
           a
           Sea
           of
           afflictions
           have
           I
           travelled
           ,
           and
           the
           depth
           of
           Satan
           have
           I
           known
           ,
           and
           now
           into
           the
           promised
           Land
           is
           entred

           that
           floweth

           Milk
           and
           Honey
           ,
           and
           the
           birth
           is
           born
           and
           felt
           ,
           that
           is

           of
           the
           promise
           of
           an
           inheritance
           therein
           that
           never
           fades
           away

           But
           in
           this
           long
           time
           of
           my
           travail
           in
           peril
           ,
           and
           distress
           ,
           the
           Lord
           was
           exceeding
           good
           unto
           me
           ,
           and
           by
           his
           mighty
           power
           ,
           and
           by
           his
           out-stretched
           arm
           was
           I
           preserved
           in
           the
           midst
           of
           many
           temptations
           and
           assaults

           in
           the
           heights
           ,
           and
           the
           depths
           of
           the
           enemy
           of
           my
           souls
           peace
           ,
           which
           sometimes
           would
           exalt
           me
           above
           my
           measure
           ,
           and
           into
           things
           in
           the
           sight
           ;
           and
           I
           being
           an
           unskilful
           warrior
           ,
           I
           thereby
           sustained
           loss
           ,
           and
           my
           pain
           and
           anguish
           encreased
           ,
           and
           became
           fresh
           again
           but
           then
           the
           place
           of
           refuge
           I
           knew
           ,
           &
           that
           which
           led
           into
           the

           God

           this
           have
           I

           the

           shewed
           it
           unto

           for
           the
           chief
           men
           you
           have
           been
           found

           cruelty
           ,
           and
           thirsting
           after
           blood
           ,
           as
           manifestly
           it
           hath
           appeared
           for
           the
           space
           of
           this
           several
           years
           by-past
           ;
           but
           this
           is
           the
           desire
           of
           him
           in
           whose
           heart

           fear
           of
           the
           Lord
           is
           placed
           ,
           that
           you
           would

           go
           on
           any
           further
           in
           these
           things
           before
           mentioned

           but
           that
           you
           might
           return
           and
           find
           mercy
           ,
           that
           so
           you
           might
           escape
           his
           fierce
           wrath
           ,
           that
           is
           ready

           This
           is
           a
           warning
           to
           you
           before

           that
           you
           may
           not
           say
           ,
           
             We
             have
             not

             warned
             .
          
        
         
           And
           now
           unto
           you
           who
           have
           been
           my
           Companions
           formerly
           ,
           when
           I
           lived
           in
           pleasure
           and
           wantonness
           ,
           and
           sporting
           in
           the
           day
           time
           ,
           who
           with
           you
           run'd
           from
           mountain
           to
           hill
           ,
           and
           from
           hill
           to
           mountain
           to
           cover
           me
           ;
           but
           me
           the
           Lord
           hath
           sound
           out
           ,
           and
           separated
           me
           from
           you
           ,
           and
           hath
           caused
           me
           to
           mourn
           like
           a
           Dove
