         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).

           THE

           and
           there
           pretended

           prayed

               that
               Cause
               between
               them
               was

               believe
               this
               could
               only
               be

               faster
               than

               went
               ,
               and
               got
               before
               me
               ,
               and
               turned
               and
               looked
               earnestly
               in

               At
               the

               I
               looking

               find

               a
               Cloak
               was
               thrown
               over
               my
               Head
               ,
               then
               I
               found
               very
               rough
               hands
               upon
               my
               Shoulders

               and
               they
               ran

               into
               Jackanapes-lane
               just
               cross

               hard
               I
               think
               they
               broke
               it

             Notice

             certainly
             if
             the
             Prisoner
             at
             the

             he
             now

             Indicted

             the

             that
             we
             can
             inflict
             upon
             him
             ,
             cannot
             be
             proportionable
             to
             the
             Offence
             :
             For
             the
             Offence
             is
             too
             great
             for
             any
             Punishment
             that
             the
             Law
             can
             Inflict
             ,
             for
             Men
             are
             not
             presumed
             to
             be
             guilty
             of
             such
             Actions
             as
             this
             ;
             and
             therefore
             the
             Law
             has
             not
             proportioned
             Punishments
             to
             them
             ,
             because
             it
             presumes
             no
             man
             to
             be
             guilty
             of
             so
             base
             and
             barbarous
             an
             Action
             as
             this
             ;
             and
             because
             it
             never
             could
             be
             presumed
             that
             any
             Man
             would
             be
             guilty
             of
             such
             Offences
             ,
             therefore
             the
             Law
             has
             not
             provided
             Punishments
             proportionable
             to
             them

             But
             this
             is
             not
             your
             question

             the
             question
             before
             you
             is
             ,
             Whether
             this
             Man
             be
             Guilty
             or
             not
             Guilty
             ?
             That
             there
             was
             a
             Popish

             Certainly

             none

             there
             was
             a

             ,

             so

             But
             now

             lately
             ,
             he
             should
             have

               with
               the
               Devil
            
             ?
             Immediately
             upon

             swears

             Prisoner
             return'd
             ,
             
               No

             I
             think

             that
             he

             a
             little
             surprized

               he

             between
             him
             and
             the
             Maid
             ,
             and
             that

             for
             it
             is
             certain
             it
             was
             not
             a
             sudden
             Matter

             for

             To
             be
             sure

             whoever
             it
             was
             did
             this
             Fact
             upon
             Mr.
             Arnold
             ,
             they
             would
             do
             it
             so
             as
             to
             make
             themselves
             appear
             as
             Innocent
             as
             could
             be

             It
             is
             not
             a
             Matter
             to
             be
             relied
             on
             ,
             that
             because
             this
             man
             was
             Innocent
             in

             not
             do
             this

             another
             Circumstance
             against
             the
             Prisoner

             the
             Bar

             that
             he
             should
             imagine
             ,
             notwithstanding
             all
             this
             ,
             that
             Mr.
             Arnold
             had
             wounded
             himself

             but
             when
             he
             found
             that
             that
             was
             not
             very
             probable
             ,
             that
             a
             Man
             could
             wound
             himself
             so
             ,
             by
             reason
             of
             several
             places
             that
             he
             received
             his
             Wounds
             in
             ,
             he
             would
             have
             it
             ,
             that
             though
             he
             did
             not
             do
             it
             himself
             ,
             yet
             some
             of
             his
             Friends
             might
             .
             Indeed
             if
             he
             be
             guilty
             ,
             some
             of
             his
             Relations
             might
             do
             it
             :
             but
             certainly
             he
             was
             no
             Friend
             that
             did
             it
             .
             It

             against
             
             Nature
             for
             any
             man
             to
             believe
             ,
             that
             any
             Person
             should
             put
             himself

             so
             much
             trouble
             ;
             if

             a

             he
             might

             done
             it
             with
             much
             more
             ease
