         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
               God

               one

               That
               as

               things
               ,
               because
               they
               were
               Created
               by
               him
               ,
               so
               he
               is
               the
               Fountain
               of
               the

               and
               of
               the
               Holy
               Ghost

               Almighty
               .
            
             
               I
               believe
               ,
               that
               this
               Father
               is
               not
               subject
               to
               the
               Infirmities
               of
               Age
               ,
               and
               that
               there
               is
               no
               weakness
               attending
               the
               Ancient
               of
               days
               ;
               but
               on
               the
               contrary
               ,
               I
               believe
               that
               Omnipotency
               is
               part
               of
               the
               Being
               of
               the
               God-head
               ;
               and
               that
               thereby
               he
               has
               not
               only
               power
               to
               work
               or
               do
               any
               thing
               ,
               but
               Authority
               ;
               and
               an
               eternal
               Right
               ,
               both
               of
               making
               what
               ,
               when
               ,
               and
               how
               he
               pleaseth
               ,
               and
               of
               possessing
               whatsoever
               he
               makes
               ;
               and
               of
               using
               and
               disposing
               all
               things
               which
               he
               thus
               possesseth
               .
               I
               believe
               that
               this
               power
               is
               most
               absolute
               ,
               because
               he
               that
               has
               it
               ,
               depends
               upon
               none
               ,
               neither
               is
               he
               to
               give
               any
               account
               for
               the
               Use
               and
               Exercise
               of
               it
               ;
               that
               it

               Maker
               of

               have
               not

               but
               were
               made

               the
               beginning
               ;
               that
               there
               was
               nothing
               at
               first
               but
               God
               ,
               who
               produced
               most
               part
               of

               World

               and
               the
               rest
               out

               that
               which
               was
               formerly

               I
               believe
               was
               done

               of
               God
               ,
               of
               which
               no

               but
               his
               Goodness
               .
               And
               that
               this
               was
               done
               by
               the

               most

               I
               believe

               that
               there
               was
               a

               promised
               by
               God
               ,
               foretold
               of
               the
               Prophets
               to
               be
               the
               
                 Messias

                 Herod
                 ,
              
               of

             God

             To
             obtain
             God's
             Ear
             ,
             I
             need
             no
             Spokes-man
             ,
             but
             a
             Devout
             Mind
             .
             He
             alone
             can
             help

             he
             knows
             the
             fittest
             time
             to
             help

             ;
             my
             Prayers
             do
             certainly
             reach
             his
             Ears
             ;
             he
             knows
             what
             I
             want
             better

             he

             and
             I
             am
             sure
             he
             loves
             me
             .
          
           
             Fourthly
             ,
             I
             must
             acknowledge
             him
             to
             be
             the
             sole
             Governour

             World

             and
             therefore
             I
             must
             trust
             in
             him
             .
             He
             gave
             me
             all
             that
             I
             have
             ,
             and
             therefore
             I
             ought
             to
             be
             thankful
             to
             him

             lieth

             hungring

             O
             God
             ,
             to
             help
             me

             over-past

             I
             am
             afraid
             of
             Satan
             ,
             that
             subtile
             and
             old
             Serpent
             ,
             with
             whom
             the
             World
             and
             the
             Flesh
             have
             conspired
             against

             They
             have
             enticed
             away
             my
             outward
             senses
             ,
             and
             have
             won
             my
             corrupt
             affections
             ,
             so
             that
             they
             fight
             against

             spread
             abroad
