Living words through a dying man being a melodious song of the mercies and judgments of the Lord, sung by a disciple of Christ on his dying bed, when the pangs of death were upon his outward man. With an arrow shot against Babylon, being a direct prophecy of the downfal of her merchants, the hirelings and false prophets. With sweet exhortations and prophecies also of the spreading of the glorious truth of God, until it shall have covered the face of the whole earth.

         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).

             taken
             from
             him
             ,
             and
             sometimes
             he
             could
             speak
             a
             few
             broken
             words
             ,
             by
             which
             we
             could
             understand
             that
             he
             told
             us
             ,
             
               That
               his
               Strength
               Failed
               him
            
             ,
             and
             that
             he
             was
             almost
             spent
             ;
             and
             after
             this
             he
             lay
             about
             an
             hour
             silent
             ,
             in
             great
             Weakness
             ,
             insomuch
             that
             we
             looked
             every
             Moment
             when
             he
             should
             depart
             this
             Life
             ;
             but
             it
             pleased
             the
             Lord
             (
             whose
             servant
             he
             was

             inwardly
             to
             renew
             his
             Strength
             ,
             and
             raised
             him
             up
             in
             his
             power
             ,
             insomuch
             that
             a
             little
             after
             the
             twelfth
             Hour
             of
             the
             Night
             ,
             he
             began
             to
             break
             forth
             into
             Praying
             and
             Praising
             the
             Lord
             in
             a
             most
             sweet
             and
             precious
             manner
             ,
             and
             declared
             much
             of
             the
             goodness
             of
             the
             
             Lord
             ;
             and
             how
             bountiful
             he
             had
             been
             unto
             his
             Soul
             ;
             and
             so
             he
             lay
             a
             pretty
             while
             admiring
             the
             precious
             love
             of
             God
             ,
             which
             he
             said
             ,
             did
             plentifully
             flow
             unto
             his
             soul
             through
             Jesus
             Christ
             :
             And
             he
             often
             said
             unto
             the
             Lord
             ,
             
               Praised
               ;
               Praised

             And
             then
             he
             earnestly
             exhorted
             Friends
             to
             be
             faithful

             an
             overcoming
             Sense
             thereof
             ,
             
               Oh!
               precious
               ,
               precious
               Truth
               which
               first
               brake
               forth
               in

               Nation

               the
               Glory
               of
               England
               .
            
             And
             this
             Expression
             he
             servently
             and
             frequently
             used
             ,

               Englands
               Glory
               :
            
             And
             he
             spake
             much
             of
             God's
             Israel
             ,
             saying
             ,
             
               The
               Lord
               who
               divided

             Then
             he
             spake
             unto
             the
             Lord
             saying
             ,
