         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).

           From
           their
           not

           I
           say
           ,
           it
           is
           that
           they
           everlastingly
           perish
           :
           for
           if
           they

           they
           〈◊〉
           die
           in
           their
           Sins

           And
           if
           they
           know
           not
           the
           Reason
           of
           his

           Now
           those
           Professors
           that
           have
           had

           because

           They

           nothing-ones

           Therefore
           they
           either

           the
           Dog
           to
           his
           Vomit

             yet

             not

             by
             Blood

           For
           the
           Person
           and
           Doings
           of
           Jesus
           Christ
           are
           only
           precious
           to
           them
           that
           get
           and

           the
           due
           Reward
           of
           their
           Sins

           the

           These
           are
           desolate
           ,
           being
           driven
           out

           these
           embrace
           the
           Rock
           instead
           of
           a

           the
           Sensible
           Sinner

           Great

           Miscarriage

           therefore

           Professors

           The

           takes

           next
           way
           to
           be
           guilty

           That

           but
           fearful
           Judgment
           ,
           and
           fiery
           Indignation

           Now
           for

           for
           their
           sakes
           have
           I
           written
           this
           little
           Book
           ,
           wherein
           is
           largely
           ,
           and
           yet
           with
           few
           words
           ,
           discovered
           the
           Doctrine
           of
           the
           Person
           ,
           and
           Doings
           and
           Sufferings
           of
           Christ
           with
           the
           true
           Cause
           thereof
           ;
           
           also
           a
           removal
           of
           those
           Objections
           that
           the
           crafty
           Children
           of
           darkness
           have
           framed
           against
           the
           same
           .
        
         
           And
           I
           have
           been
           the
           more
           plain
           and
           simple
           in
           my
           writing
           ,
           because
           the
           Sin
           against
           the
           Holy
           Ghost
           is
           in
           these
           days
           ,
           more
           common

           formerly

           it
           more
           beautified

           pretence
           of
           Truth

           I
           may
           say
           of
           the
           way
           to
           this
           Sin
           ,
           it
           is
           ,
           as
           was
           once
           the
           Way
           to
           Jerusalem
           ,
           strewed
           with
           Boughs
           and
           Branches
           ,
           and
           by

               that
               he

               our
               Flesh.
            
             I

             you
             before

             of
             Jesus

             and
             he
             that

             sensibly
             and

             he

             I
             say

             what

             since
             justice
             was
             provoked

             the
             difference
             that
             by
             Sin
             was
             made

             For
             though
             there
             be
             in
             this
             Jesus
             infinite
             worth
             ,
             infinite
             righteousness

             infinite
             merit

             yet
             if

             make
             not
             with
             these
             ,
             interest
             for
             us

             we
             get
             no
             more
             benefit
             thereby
             than

             were
             no
             Mediator

             But
             this
             Worth
             and
             Merit
             ,
             is

             ;
             for
             he
             undertook
             to
             reconcile
             us
             to
             God
             ,
             it
             is
             therefore
             that
             his
             Name
             is
             with
             God
             so
             prevailing
             for
             us
             poor
             Sinners
             :
             and
             therefore
             that
             we
             ought
             to
             go

             it
             is
             evident

             that
             Jesus
             Christ

             &c.
             is
             evident

             because
             we
             are
             commanded
             also
             to

             By
