         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).

             ,
             thou

           turned
           from
           the
           Light
           ,
           and

           the
           Serpent
           beguiled

           so
           disobeyed
           the
           Commandment
           of
           the
           Lord

           Now
           this
           was

             Saul

             it
             is
             hard
             for
             thee
             to
             kick
             against
             the
             pricks
             :
          
           and
           then
           Paul
           cryed
           out
           saying
           ,
           
             Lord

             what
             wilt

             have
             me

             do
             ?
          
           And
           as
           soon
           as
           the
           Lord
           revealed
           his
           Son
           Christ

           and
           blood

           but
           went
           and
           preach'd
           him
           :
           Paul
           did
           profess
           Christ
           before
           ,
           and
           did

           more
           in

           many
           of

           equals
           ,
           but
           he
           did
           not
           know
           him
           ,
           and
           so
           he
           persecuted
           him
           in
           his
           Saints
           ,
           as
           thousands
           do
           at
           this
           day

           called
           Christians

           When
           Paul
           had
           received
           Christ
           Jesus
           the
           Spirit
           of
           Truth
           ,
           he
           denyed
           himself
           ,
           and
           
           became
           a
           true
           Christian
           ,
           through
           the
           Sanctification
           of
           the
           Spirit
           of
           Christ
           and
           belief
           of
           the
           Truth
           ,
           and
           took
           up
           the
           Cross
           to
           his
           own
           will
           daily
           ,
           and
           followed
           Christ
           the
           Light
           ,
           through
           great
           tribulations
           ,
           in
           newness
           of
           life
           ;
           for
           as
           he
           did
           partake
           of
           the
           fellowship
           of
           his
           Death
           and
           Sufferings
           ,
           so
           likewise
           he
           did
           partake
           of
           the
           fellowship
           of
           his
           powerful
           Resurrection
           and
           his
           Glory
           .
           
             I
             am
             the
             Resurrection
             ,
             and

             Life
             ,
          
           saith
           Christ.
           And
           not
           only
           Paul
           ,
           but
           every
           one
           also
           in
           whom
           Christ
           is
           risen
           ,
           do
           partake
           of
           the
           same
           Sufferings
           ,
           and
           the
           same
           Joy
           ,
           according
           to
           the
           measure
           and
           proportion
           of
           Faith

           God's
           free
           Grace
           dispensed

           own
           Eternal
           Spirit
           .
           And
           this
           is
           the
           way
           ,
           and
           the

           way
           which
           God
           hath

             it

           the
           unclean
           Spirit

           Now

           in
           truth

           for
           they

           administer
           Christ

           Wherefore
           it
           is
           safe
