Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. 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).

IT would seem Strange , as well as Unreasonable to me , that J. Faldo should of all Times and Places chuse the Barbican Meeting of the 28th of the 6th Month , so surreptitiously gotten and partially mannaged , to divulge his Challenge against me , did I not give off Wondering at the Injust Carriage of some men towards us . For first , He could not but know , I was at a great Distance from the Place ; that I had twice defended our Belief in Print against him ; and that a considerable Book lieth at his Door unanswered . To make then that Swagger in my Absence , and yet be Debtor to my Desences ; to come ten Miles to tell the World , he would do great Things against me , and when he had done , to print , and as I may say , spit in our Faces at our Entrance into the last Barbican-Meeting , before he had sent me a Copy , or atleast to know of my Receipt of it , and Answer to it , who am as near a Neighbour to his Residence as the Barbican-Meeting , I think cannot be reputed fair by Indifferent Persons : How Unfair then is the Complaint , that he hath had no Answer ? Again , Was I not then , and am I not still engaged against other Persons , and that mostly about the same things ? Why did he not send me word he intended to be there , and exhibit a Charge publickly against me ? The English Custom as to Common Right . Is this to prove Quakerism no Christianity ; or himself No Christian ? I cannot believe he did to me herein , as he would be done by . But that I may acquit my self of that Duty incumbent on me for the Truth , I do hereby signifie , That inasmuch as the Controversie depending between T. H. &c. and us , takes in the most of the Particulars of his Charge , we freely consent , that he should come in with them for a Share as Confederate in the same Work , and use his utmost Abilities to maintain his Accusations ; And if in any Thing his Charge is singular , we shall be ready to hear and fairly debate it at the same Meeting or Meetings , to avoid fresh and unnecessary Contests , as much as justly may be : Though still let it be remembred , these very Things are at large discoursed in my Rejoynder to him ; our Faith relieved from his Unworthy Misrepresentations , and confirmed by Scripture , Reason , and a Cloud of Honourable Ancient and Modern Witnesses . London the 12th of the 8th Month , 1674.
