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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

See O my Kinſmen, what ſtrange thing is this! Chriſt in's own Country a great ſtranger is. The Thief which bleſs'd upon the Croſs with me, Is more ally'd in Conſanguinity. 3. Primo Maria Magdalena, Luc. 20. Tu matutinos praevertis ſancta rubores, Magdula, ſed jam tum Sol tuus ortus erat. Magdalen, thou prevent'ſt the morning light: But thy Sun was already in thy ſight. 4. Aethiops lotus, Act. 8. Ille niger ſacris exit (quam lautus!) ab undis: Nec fruſtra Aethiopem nempe lavare fuit. Mentem quam niveam piceae cutis umbra fora • it: Jam volet & nigros ſancta columba lares. How fair this Ethiop comes from th' holy fount? To waſh a Black we may not vain account. How bright a Soul is in a cloudy skin! The Dove now loves a black houſe to dwell in. 5. Maria aſſidens ad prandium, Luc. 10. Tune epulis adeo es (ſoror) officioſa juvandis.

Non praeſtant? ne que te poſt tot miracula credunt? Miraclum, qui non credidit, ipſe fuit. After ſo many Miracles done well, He that believes not is a Miracle. 7. Ad Infantes Martyres, Matth. 2. Fundite ridentes animas, effundite coelo: Diſcet ibi veſtra (ô quam bene!) lingua loqui. Nec vos lac veſtrum, & maternos quaerite fontes: Quae vos exſpectat lactea tota via eſt. Depart the ſmiling Souls, to heaven depart: Your Tongues may there tearm beſt the ſpeaking art. Stay not to ſuck, ſweet Children, do not ſtay: Cry not: For you ſhall go the milk y way. 8.

In aquam Baptiſmi Dominici, Matth. 3. Felix, ô, ſacros cui ſic licet ire per artus! Felix! Dum lavat hunc, ipſa lavatur aqua. Gutta quidem ſacras quaecun que perambulat artus, Dum manet hic gemma eſt, dum cadit hinc lacryma. Happy the water, waſht his ſacred ſide! In waſhing Chriſt it ſelf is purifi'd. Each drop which trickled down his body, there Staying a Gem, thence falling was a tear. 11. Nunc dimittis, Luc. 2.

Iohannes Matri ſuae. O mihi cur dextram, mater, cur (oro) ſiniſtram Poſcis, ab officio, mater, iniqua tuo? Nolo manum Chriſti dextram, mihi, nolo ſiniſtram: Tam procul a ſacro non libet eſſe ſinu. Mother, why ask you right, or left for me? The benefit would be an injury. Nor right nor left for me convenient are: From his ſweet boſome either is too far. 13. Si filius Dei es, Matth 4. Ni ſe dejiciat Chriſtus de Vertice Templi, Non credes, quod ſit filius ille Dei: At mox te humano de pectore dejicit. Heus tu! Non credes quod ſit Filius ille Dei? Caſt thy ſelf from the pinacle, whereon I ſet thee, or I think thee not Gods Son. No, but he'l caſt thee from the hearts of men, Satan, Wilt not beleive he's God's Son, then? 14. Dominus flens ad Judaeos, Luc. 19. Diſcite vos miſeri, veninetes diſcite flammas; Nec facite, ô, lacrymas ſic periiſſe meas. Nec periiſſe tamen poterunt, mihi credite, veſtras Vel reprimet flammas haec aqua, vel faciet. Think on the coming flames I would prevent: Let not my tears for you in vain be ſpent. And yet they can't be ſpent in vain: for ſure This water flames will quench, or elſe procure. 15. In Saulum nimio fulgore excaecant • m, Act. 9.

Cum Chriſtus noſtris ibat mitiſſmus oris, At que novum caecos juſſit habere diem; Felices oculos qui tunc habuere, vocantur: Felices, & qui non habuere, voco. When Chriſt with us on Earth did ſympathize, And to the poor blind men reſtor'd their eyes; Happy they, who had eyes. Not they alone: I call them alſo happy who had none. 17.

Play Fiſhes in your waters, ſafely play: We become Fiſhes too, another way: Not to be taken, to your ſafety brought; But we are then moſt ſafe, when we are caught. 18. Aquae in vinum verſae, Joh. 2. Numen, convivae, praeſens agnoſcite numen: Nympha pudica Deum vidit, & erubuit. See, ô my Gueſts: A deity is here: The Chaſt Nymph ſaw a God, and bluſht for fear. 19. Quid timidi eſtis, Mar. 3. Tanquam illi inſanus faceret ſua fulmina ventus! Tanquam illi ſcopulos noret habere fretum! Vos veſtri ſcopuli, vos eſtis ventus & unda: Naufragium cum illo, qui metuit, meruit. As if to him the winds their thunder threw! As if to him hard Rocks the water knew! Ye are your rocks, ye are your wind and wave: Shiprack with him, who fear, deſerve to have. 20.

In Pontium ruente lautum, Matth. 27. Illa manus lavat unda tuas, vaniſſime Judex; Ah, tamen illa ſcelus non lavat unda tuum.
