Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. 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).

Ye celebrated Men of Wisdom and Learning , THe TRIPLE-CROWNED-LITTLE-HORN , hath so worried the Saints of the Most High , out of the World , with his blasphemous Endeavours of changing TIMES and LAWS , that Men know not how to keep Time for their Laws , nor have any Law for their Time. But the Learned Dr. MORE ( and several others ) in their COMMENTARIES on DANIEL , have laid the CHANGE of TIMES and LAWS at the Doors of ROME . Yet because ( Dolus versatur in universalibus ) they seem not to be concerned . There wants a NATHAN to say , Thou art the Man. ( 2 Sam. 12.7 . ) There wants some to say , what Times , and what Laws , the Angel spake of to Daniel ? Dan. 7.25 . To which purpose I did write to the Most Reverend ARCH-BISHOPS , and BISHOPS , on the King's Birth-Day ; and the most Honourable JUDGES in Term time , in the very beginning . And now to your Selves ( against your Days of Solemnity ) that many Hands may make light Work. Plus vident Oculi , quam Oculus . If then you are pleased to make a Discovery of those TIMES and LAWS , you do well ; but if you can restore them , you do better : For ( so extravagant is yet the LITTLE-HORN in England ) that if any Single Pen should draw the Curtain , and discover the Nakedness of ANTICHRIST in those Times and Laws , they would immediately bestow upon him the Curse of CHAM , or adjudge him to Fire and Fagot . And the SCENT of the HORN is yet so Rank , that it is not in the Power of KING and PARLIAMENT , to make a perfect Restauration . Yet do not you refuse your helping hand — Est aliquid prodire tenus , si non detur ultra . How strange would it appear , if after all your Silence , my Goos-Quill should make a Noise , and awaken the CAPITOL of ENGLAND , to prevent a ( total ) Desolation prophesied by the Lord Jesus Christ , ( Mat. 12.25 . ) Let not this Service be unseasonable from June 19 , 1682. Your most humble Christian Servant Peter Chamberlen .
