         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).

           this

           souls
           at
           least
           were
           breathed
           into
           Adam
           when
           God
           breathed
           into
           Adam
           the
           breath
           of
           life
           :
           This
           I
           suppose
           was
           the
           beginning
           of
           the
           Light
           in
           Man.
           Now
           it
           was
           (
           as
           the
           Author
           hath
           said
           before
           )
           that
           Christ
           came
           to
           be
           slain
           in
           our
           first
           Parents
           :
           I
           query
           here
           whether
           besides
           this
           Nischma
           Adam
           had
           a
           rational
           soul
           ,
           which
           was
           the
           root
           of
           his
           animal
           senses
           and
           discoursive
           parts
           ,
           and
           whether
           this
           that
           was
           breathed
           into
           Adam
           was
           the
           center
           of
           the
           soul
           of
           Christ
           ,
           or
           some
           ray
           ,
           only
           ,
           it
           should
           be
           the
           center
           ,
           in
           that
           Nischma
           is
           the
           excellency
           (
           the
           Author
           saith
           )
           of
           this
           soul
           ,
           yet
           I
           remember
           he
           hath
           said
           ,
           that
           as
           to
           the
           center
           it
           was
           most
           what
           in
           Heaven
           ,
           it
           may
           be
           this
           was
           one
           of
           the
           times
           it
           came
           out
           of
           Heaven
           :
           Now
           if
           the
           Nischma
           of
           Christ
           was
           in
           Adam
           ,
           (
           as
           this
           man
           saith
           ,
           )
           and
           yet
           Adam
           had
           a
           distinct
           Nephesh
           proper
           to
           himself
           ,
           then
           was
           Adam
           a
           more
           compleat
           man
           than
           Jesus
           Christ
           of
           Nazareth
           :
           Upon
           this
           supposition
           that
           the
           Author
           hath
           suggested
           ,
           that
           Christs
           Nepheseh
           may
           be
           but
           a
           distinct
           faculty
           of
           the
           same
           soul
           ;
           but
           if
           neither
           of
           the
           two
           Adams
           had
           a
           rational
           humane
           soul
           distinct
           from
           the
           Nischma
           ,
           which
           is
           not
           of
           this
           Creation
           ,
           as
           Keith
           saith
           ,
           then
           neither
           of
           the
           Adams
           were
           compleat
           men
           ,
           neither
           had
           the
           nature
           of
           man
           ,
           but
           only
           bodies
           acted
           by
           a
           divine
           nature
           ,
           (
           as
           here
           he
           calls
           it
           ,
           )
           nay
           it
           destroys
           all
           humane
           nature
           ,
           so
           that
           there
           never
           was
           ,
           nor
           is
           a
           compleat
           man
           ,
           as
           we
           have
           had
           the
           notion
           of
           a
           man
           in
           the
           World
           :

           doth
           not

           the

           that

           is
           a
           Creature
           :
           why
           then
           ,
           the
           Christian
           hath
           a
           great
           advantage

           his

           of
           another
           and
           better
           nature

           that
           of
           the
           Quakers

           mystically
           dwells
           in
           them
           :
           But
           they
           understand
           the
           Holy
           Ghost
           that
           is
           God

           is
           not

           but
           why
           then
           did
           they

           expess
           themselves
           so
