         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).

             all

             but
             there
             are

             It
             follows
             that
             there
             are
             others
             from

             these
             actions
             arise
             ,
             as
             in
             malignant
             and
             pestilent
             feavers
             ,
             in
             which
             there
             is
             often
             no
             distemper

             be
             observed

             and
             yet

             Therefore
             every
             poyson
             of

             Malignity

             an
             adventitious

             such

             from
             an

             here
             we
             shal
             speak
             only
             of
             malignity
             that
             flows

             Hence
             it
             is
             cleer
             that
             malignity
             differs
             from
             poyson
             ,
             for
             malignity
             comes
             after
             another
             disease
             ,
             but
             poyson

             i●s
             pernicious
             force

             disease
             without
             another
             disease
             ,
             so
             the
             Plague
             poyson
             can
             kill
             without
             a
             feaver
             of
             it self

             Poyson
             therefore
             is
             that
             which
             of
             its
             own

             way
             doth
             vehemently

             immediately
             afflict
             the

             endanger
             life

             but
             the
             doubt
             is
             whether
             it
             be

             Of

             Nature
             of
             Poyson

             I
             Had
             thought
             to
             have
             concluded
             this

             but
             when

             found
             many
             things
             remarkable
             concerning
             poyson

             I
             thought
             good
             to
             set
             them
             forth

             There

             they

             First
             ,
             what
             things
             are
             accounted
             poysons
             ?
             
             Some
             think
             Bezoardick
             Medicines
             and
             Purges

             reckoned
             among
             poysons

             For
             the
             understanding
             of
             this
             :
          
           
             Observe
             first
             ,
             that
             Galen
             used
             the
             word
             deadly
             for
             that
             which
             may
             kil
             ,
             or
             that
             which
             may
             do
             good
             somtimes
             ,
             though
             it
             may
             kil
             by
             accident
             .
          
           
             Note
             secondly
             ,
             that
             some
             Medicines
             alwaies
             
             hurt

             and
             never
             do
             good

             these
             are
             poyson
             ,
             and
             so
             must
             be
             called
             .
             But
             they
             which
             somtimes
             do
             hurt
             ,
             are
             not
             to
             be
             accounted
             poysons
             ,
             and
             they
             which
             somtimes
             do
             good
             ,
             are
             not
             to
             be
             excluded
             from
             the
             number
             of

             For

             As

             The

             the
             hair
             falls
             off

               When
               thou

             This
             Pliny
             observed
             ,
             writing
             that
             in
             Africa
             there
             are
             families
             of
             Witches
             ,
             by
             whose
             praise
             and
             commendations
             hopeful
             things
             perish

             and
             infants
             die
             .
          
           
             Hence
             I
             gather
             a
             threefold
             Fascination
             ;
             the
             first
             is
             Poetical
             or
             Vulgar
             ;
             the
             second
             is
             Philosophical
             ;
             
             and
             the
             third
             Magical
             .
             The
             two
             first
             I
             deny
             ,
             for
             the
             Poetical
             Witchcraft
             is
             fabulous
             ,
             and
             delivered
             from
             hand
             to
             hand
             ,
             rather
             superstitiously
             then
             truly
             ,
             according
             to
             which
             infants
             are
             said
             to
             be
             bewitched
             ,
             and
             other
             things
             ,
             only
             by
             the
             active
             look
             of
             the
             Witch
             ,
             as
             when
             any
             one
             praised
             another
             ,
             or
             looks
             malitiously
             upon
             him
             whom
             he
             hates
             :
             Mothers
             and
             Nurses
             hang
             Amulets
             about
             their
             childrens
             necks
             to
             prevent
             this
             .
             And
             the
             Poet
             Theotritus
             teacheth
             against
             this
             Fascination
             ,
             That
             they
             should
             spit
             thrice
             into
             their
             own
             bosomes
             that
             fear
             it
             .
          
           
             
               Spit
               thrice
               in
               thy
               breast
               ,
            
             
               And
               Witches
               detest
               .
            
          
           
             I
             suppose
             this
             Fascination
             is
             not
             only
             fabulous
             but
             superstitious
             ,
             and
             Divines
             have
             cursed
             the
             users
             and
             the
             allowers
             of
             it
             .
             And
             reason
             shews
             ,
             that
             there
             is
             no
             force
             in
             this
             Fascination
             ,
             for
             nothing
             is
             sent
             out
             of
             the
             eye
             that
             may
             carry
             it
             ,
             because
             sight
             from
             the
             best
             Philosophers
             ,
             is
             not
             by
             sending
             forth
             any
             thing
             from
             the
             eye
             ,
             but
             by
             receiving
             of
             species
             into
             the
             eye
             ;
             though
             another
             Poet
             hath
             writen
             thus
             .
          
           
             
               I
               know
               not
               what
               eye
            
             
               Made
               my
               Lambs
               for
               to
               die
               .
               
            
          
           
             Certainly
             the
             horrid
             aspect
             of
             an
             ugly
             old
             woman
             may
             terrifie
             an
             infant
             ,
             so
             that
             the
             humors
             being
             raised
             ,
             they
             may
             complain
             as
             if
             displeased
             .
             So
             Tiberius
             the
             Emperor
             by
             a
             terrible
             look
             ,
             as●●nisht
             a
             Soldier
             ,
             and
             killed
             him
             with
             trembling
             ,
             but
             this
             from
             the
             event
             ,
             and
             therefore
             I
             conclude
             that
             this
             Witchcraft
             is
             plainly
             fabulous
             .

             The
             Philosophical
             Witchcraft
             is
             not
             properly
             Fascination
             ,
             but
             to
             speak
             properly
             a●
             infection

             for

             is
             hurt
             often
             times
             by
             anothers
             looks

             so
             that
             Saying
             is
             true
             .

               Infection
               from
               the
               same
               shall
               rise
               .
            
          
           
             For
             the
             opinions
             of
             Avicen
             and
             Algaselis
             agree
             ,
             that
             is
             ,
             that
             no
             alteration

             in
             another
             by
             sight
             ,
             as
             it
             is
             meerly
             sight

             but
             the

             a
             venemous
             quality

             This

             being
             left

             we

             short

             we
             must
             do
             it
             by
             some
             conclusions

             The

               It

             3.
             prove
             this
             conclusion
             :
             and
             Sprengerus
             hath
             many
             more

             And
             though
             Vuierus
             takes
             these
             for
             fables

             yet
             History

             not

             rashly
             to
             be
             deluded
             :
             that
             the

             is
             manifest

             because
             the
             instrumēts

             The
             second
             Conclusion
             ,
             
               Although
               Witches
               determine
               to
               hurt

               do
               it
               .
            
             The
             Witches
             are
             not
             the
             first
             causes
             of
             such
             operations
             ,
             but
             the
             Devil
             :
             the
             Witches
             are
             his
             work-fellows

             at
             whose

             such
             diseases
             .
             Therefore
             the
             Devil
             and
             the
             Witch
             must
             agree
             to

             We

             the
             Devil
             may

             dreams
             suggest
             what
             the

             may
             think
             true

             flew

             Of
             the
             Signs
             of
             diseases
             from

             IT
             is
             very
             hard
             to
             know
             these
             diseases
             ,
             and
             we
             must
             be
             very
             industrious
             to
             discover
             them
             .
             This
             is
             because
             the
             Devil
             doth
             so
             warily
             get
             into
             natural
             causes
             that
             it
             is
             not
             easily
             discerned
             ,
             what
             comes
             from
             natural
             causes
             and
             what
             from
             the
             Devil
             .
             Fernelius
             gives
             an
             example
             of
             this
             in
             a
             young
             Knight
             which
             had
             a
             shaking
             and
             Convulsion
             by
             fits
             ;
             which
             by
             divers
             remedies
             given
             for
             some
             months
             could
             not
             be
             removed
             ,
             but
             in
             the
             third
             month
             the
             Author
             of
             the
             disease
             was
             known
             ,
             by
             voices
             and
             unusual
             words
             and
             sentences
             ,
             Greek
             and
             Latin
             ,
             which
             was
             the
             Devil
             ,
             
             and
             more
             plainly
             when
             he
             discovered
             the
             secrets
             of
             those
             that
             stood
             by
             ,
             and
             of
             the
             Physitians
             ,
             scoffing
             at
             them
             for
             their
             vain
             medicines
             ,
             by
             which
             they
             had
             almost
             killed
             the
             party
             .
          
           
             The
             first
             sign
             then
             is
             of
             diseases
             from
             the
             Devil
             ,
             when
             practised
             Physitians
             doubt
             of
             the
             signs
             ,
             and
             cannot
             satisfie
             themselves
             ,
             and
             all
             things
             are
             given
             in
             vain
             and
             to
             no
             purpose
             .
          
           
             Another
             sign
             is
             ,
             because
             ordinary
             diseases
             come
             by
             degrees
             and
             have
             their
             times
             and
             seasons
             ,
             and
             come
             to
             their
             state
             ,
             but
             these
             are
             in
             their
             vigor
             without
             any
             apparent
             causes
             .
          
           
             Thirdly
             they
             have
             extraordinary
             symptoms
             and
             convulsions
             ,
             no
             cause
             aforegoing
             that
             appears
             :
             some
             say
             that
             if
             the
             Witch
             comes
             to
             see
             the
             Patient
             he
             is
             worse
             ,
             and
             trembles
             or
             is
             otherwise
             altered
             :
             but
             the
             certain
             sign
             is
             when
             a
             knife
             or
             a
             needle
             ,
             or
             the
             like
             is
             ●o
             ●i●ed
             or
             purged
             forth
             ,
             or
             come
             from
             ulcers
             t●at
             breed
             not
             naturally
             in
             the
             body
             .
          
           
           
             Some
             have
             another
             sign
             which
             to
             me
             is
             superstitious
             ,
             they
             wash
             the
             Patient
             with
             the
             decoction
             of
             Vervain
             ,
             and
             if
             nothing
             be
             sound
             in
             the
             decoction
             ,
             or
             its
             colour
             not
             changed
             ,
             they
             say
             there
             is
             no
             Witchcraft
             :
             but
             if
             many
             of
             his
             hairs
             be
             found
             in
             it

             it
             is
             a
             sign
             of
             Witchcraft
             ,
             this
             I
             say
             is
             superstitious
             though
             Vervain
             is
             commonly
             thought
             to
             discover
             Witchcraft
             .
          
           
             One
             think
             I
             suppose
             proves
             Witchcraft
             when
             married
             people
             formerly
             loving
             very
             well
             ,
             hate
             one
             another
             without
             any
             evident
             cause
             .
          
           
             There
             are
             many
             Histories
             to
             confirm
             this

             From

             Prognostick

             That

             diseases
             from
             Witchcraft
             are
             long
             and
