Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors.
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).

AN
EPISTLE
,
Containing
A
SALUTATION
TO
ALL
Faithful
Friends
,
A
Reproof
to
the
Unfaithful
;
AND
A
Visitation
to
the
Enquiring
,
In
a
Solemn
FAREWELL
to
them
all
in
the
Land
of
my
Nativity
.
A
Salutation
to
the
Faithful
.
YE
are
beloved
of
me
above
all
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
Men
,
who
have
received
and
bowed
to
the
blessed
Appearance
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
in
your
Hearts
,
and
that
have
not
counted
any
thing
dear
for
the
Testimony
of
his
Cross
and
Gospel
,
but
have
unfeignedly
loved
and
obey'd
his
Light
within
,
and
not
been
afraid
to
confess
it
without
:
You
that
have
not
been
offended
in
him
,
though
the
World
hath
not
received
him
,
but
bitterly
mocked
and
persecuted
his
saving
Appearance
;
To
you
doth
my
Soul
reach
,
in
the
Love
which
many
Waters
cannot
quench
,
nor
Time
,
nor
Distance
wear
away
,
beseeching
the
God
and
Father
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
to
be
with
you
,
and
bless
you
with
his
abundant
Goodness
and
Mercy
.
Oh
,
Friends
!
go
on
,
you
are
called
to
an
high
and
heavenly
Calling
,
the
Trumpet
hath
given
you
a
certain
Sound
;
follow
your
Captain
,
be
Valiant
,
fight
the
good
Fight
of
Faith
,
lay
hold
on
Eternal
Life
,
that
you
may
finish
your
Course
with
Joy
;
a
Crown
is
at
the
end
,
a
Diadem
that
will
never
fade
away
,
the
Reward
of
the
Righteous
at
the
end
of
all
his
Troubles
.
Dear
Friends
,
Love
the
Truth
in
your
Hearts
,
be
inward
to
the
Lord
,
that
you
may
grow
in
the
Life
and
Wisdom
of
it
;
And
keep
all
your
Meetings
in
the
Faith
and
Power
of
God
;
and
love
and
honour
the
Brethren
that
labour
in
Word
and
Doctrine
:
Be
diligent
in
his
Work
,
and
that
will
make
you
Rich
in
the
Heavens
that
will
never
pass
away
.
Have
a
Godly
Care
over
your
Children
and
Families
,
and
let
your
Conversation
be
in
Heaven
,
and
the
Earth
under
your
Feet
.
Oh!
ye
that
received
the
Truth
for
the
Truth
's
sake
,
who
have
loved
it
above
all
,
and
for
it
left
all
,
that
being
tried
,
fainted
not
,
but
endured
;
and
who
to
this
Day
have
not
sought
your selves
,
but
the
Lord
,
and
have
counted
nothing
dear
,
that
you
might
lift
up
his
Name
amongst
men
,
who
being
reviled
,
have
blessed
;
and
being
persecuted
,
have
suffered
;
and
being
defamed
,
have
yet
entreated
;
and
are
to
this
day
tempted
,
buffited
,
and
accounted
by
too
many
as
the
Off-scouring
of
the
Land
;
be
not
discomforted
,
but
Gird
up
the
Loins
of
your
Minds
,
be
sober
,
watch
,
pray
and
hope
to
the
End
;
for
through
many
Tribulations
are
we
to
enter
the
Rest
and
City
of
God.
And
yet
,
what
if
I
should
say
,
That
the
Days
of
Sorrow
and
Sighing
will
even
here
have
an
end
;
And
that
the
Peace
,
Righteousness
and
Glory
of
the
latter
Days
are
just
at
the
door
!
Beloved
Friends
,
As
Clay
is
in
the
hand
of
the
Potter
,
so
let
us
be
in
the
hands
of
our
God
,
so
will
he
manifest
himself
through
us
,
and
confound
the
Wisdom
and
Opposition
of
this
World.
Nothing
can
hurt
us
,
but
our
own
Vnfaithfulness
;
for
the
God
that
hath
called
us
,
is
All-powerful
,
All-knowing
and
All-present
,
and
hath
given
to
us
that
believe
,
the
Witness
in
our selves
,
which
is
the
Vnerring
Way
of
the
Lord
;
so
that
our
Religion
is
of
Emanuel
,
God
with
us
,
who
hath
the
Words
of
Eternal
Life
.
He
that
cured
the
Ruler's
Son
by
his
divine
Presence
in
his
Bodily
Absence
,
he
also
is
present
with
us
in
Spirit
,
in
the
Fire
,
in
the
Water
,
by
Sea
,
and
by
Land
,
he
worketh
Wonders
upon
both
,
who
is
Glorious
in
Holiness
,
and
Fearful
in
Praises
,
in
the
Congregations
of
his
Children
:
In
him
I
Love
you
,
in
him
I
Salute
you
,
and
in
him
I
dearly
bid
you
all
Farewell
.
His
Grace
,
Mercy
and
Peace
be
with
you
all
,
and
the
Blessings
of
his
Life
and
Presence
forever
rest
upon
you
:
Amen
.
Your
faithful
Friend
and
Brother
,
William
Penn.
A
Reproof
to
the
Vnfaithful
.
HOw
long
shall
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
strive
with
you
,
O
ye
Careless
and
Unfaithful
Ones
!
who
are
convinced
of
the
Truth
of
God
,
and
come
to
Meetings
,
confess
to
the
Testimony
,
and
profess
it
in
the
World
,
and
are
yet
Unsanctified
and
Unregenerated
,
and
so
have
no
part
nor
lot
in
this
blessed
matter
of
Life
Eternal
!
What
can
you
hope
for
from
the
hand
of
the
Lord
at
the
hour
of
your
Death
and
day
of
your
Judgment
?
Will
not
God
remember
unto
you
the
Day
of
your
Visitation
,
his
Strivings
,
his
Waitings
,
his
Long-suffering
?
How
often
he
would
have
gathered
you
,
that
you
might
have
inherited
Substance
?
Awake
,
Awake
,
ye
Sensual
,
ye
Earthly-minded
Professors
of
the
Truth
,
that
Christ
Jesus
may
give
you
Life
!
for
I
may
say
with
the
Apostle
,
and
that
Weeping
,
too
,
There
are
too
many
unworthy
of
the
great
Favour
and
Mercy
of
God
in
this
Day
,
who
under
all
their
pretences
to
Religion
,
walk
in
the
way
of
those
,
whose
God
is
their
Belly
,
who
Glory
in
their
Shame
,
&c.
who
mind
Earthly
things
,
pursuing
uncertain
Riches
,
and
trusting
in
their
Store
,
if
redeem'd
from
scandalous
things
,
yet
abounding
too
much
in
more
hidden
Evils
,
Envy
,
Covetousness
,
High-mindedness
,
medling
in
other
Folks
matters
,
out
of
the
Watch
,
out
of
the
Cross
,
that
crucifieth
the
Fl●sh
,
yet
delivers
the
Spirit
to
serve
God
in
the
Newness
of
Life
.
Oh!
as
one
knowing
the
Terrors
of
the
Lord
,
let
me
perswade
you
,
while
it
is
to
day
,
to
hear
his
Voice
,
his
living
Word
,
that
cleanses
the
Young
Man's
Way
;
And
believe
in
the
Light
,
whilst
you
have
the
Light
,
that
you
also
may
be
the
Children
of
the
Light
,
in
which
the
Nations
of
them
that
are
saved
must
walk
,
lest
it
pass
away
from
you
,
and
the
Night
overtake
you
,
in
which
the
Works
of
Peace
cannot
be
wrought
!
O
Friends
!
your
Doom
will
be
most
Dismal
,
your
End
the
most
Terrible
of
all
others
,
that
are
called
,
and
would
not
make
your
Calling
sure
,
that
knew
the
Master's
Will
,
and
would
not
do
it
:
Will
not
he
make
such
of
the
Synagogue
of
Satan
,
who
are
not
Jews
inward
,
neither
of
that
Circumcision
that
is
of
the
Spirit
in
the
Heart
and
Ear
,
whose
praise
is
not
of
Men
,
but
of
God
?
For
it
is
just
with
God
,
to
give
such
up
to
strong
Delusions
,
and
to
commit
sin
with
Greediness
,
who
hold
the
Truth
in
Vnrighteousness
,
and
profess
it
in
their
own
Spirits
,
not
in
th●
Spirit
and
Power
of
God
;
whose
Tongues
are
their
own
,
whose
Wills
and
Affections
are
their
own
,
and
under
the
Profession
of
Truth
,
can
give
them
their
Swing
.
Such
as
these
become
the
Subjects
of
Satan's
Devices
,
and
too
▪
s●en
by
a
loose
Conversation
,
or
High-mindedness
and
Unsubjectedness
cause
Grief
,
and
give
great
Trouble
to
the
Churches
of
Christ
;
for
many
may
never
leave
the
Profession
of
Truth
,
that
yet
may
be
Troublers
o●
the
Peace
of
Jerusalem
here
,
and
Vessels
of
Wrath
hereafter
:
Be
therefore
warned
,
ye
foolish
Virgins
,
ye
vain
Professors
of
the
Truth
!
In
the
Fear
and
Dread
of
God
,
I
send
this
Caution
to
you
,
that
ye
may
Repent
,
and
do
your
first
Works
,
else
be
assured
,
That
in
the
Day
of
his
Winnowing
,
you
shall
go
to
the
Chaff
,
and
the
Wind
of
his
Fury
shall
drive
you
from
the
Joy
of
his
Presence
forever
:
Therefore
receive
my
Counsel
in
the
Love
of
God
;
be
faithful
to
his
Truth
,
wait
and
watch
in
it
,
that
you
may
be
delivered
in
the
hour
of
Temptation
:
It
will
tye
your
Tongues
,
limit
your
Desires
,
bound
your
Affections
,
order
all
your
Steps
aright
:
It
will
make
you
Humble
,
so
God
will
teach
you
;
and
Meek
,
so
will
he
guide
you
in
Judgment
,
and
clothe
you
with
Salvation
.
I
have
a
Travail
upon
my
Soul
,
and
my
Spirit
is
pained
for
you
!
I
would
have
nothing
lost
,
but
the
Son
of
Perdition
:
I
would
have
you
all
gathered
,
and
nothing
castaway
that
is
called
of
God
;
Yea
,
a
greater
than
all
would
have
all
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
as
it
is
in
Jesus
,
and
be
saved
.
This
I
send
you
as
a
Farewell
to
you
,
in
the
Name
and
Power
of
the
God
of
my
Salvation
,
and
in
so
doing
am
I
clear
of
you
all
.
Your
True
Friend
,
William
Penn.
A
Visitation
to
the
Enquiring
.
YE
are
the
Workmanship
of
God
as
well
as
I
,
and
he
hath
made
us
for
an
end
of
Glory
to
himself
;
Let
us
see
,
search
and
try
,
how
we
answer
it
?
Ye
have
Souls
as
well
as
I
,
and
you
must
give
an
Account
as
well
as
I
;
for
we
must
all
Dye
and
come
to
Judgment
:
Turn
in
therefore
,
and
see
how
it
standeth
betwixt
you
and
your
Judge
;
for
by
Jesus
Christ
,
the
Light
of
the
World
,
will
God
judge
all
Men.
Therefore
with
the
Light
of
Christ
,
which
is
within
you
,
judge
your selves
,
that
you
may
not
be
judged
:
Put
away
the
Evil
of
your
Doings
;
Love
the
Light
,
come
to
it
,
walk
in
it
,
and
it
will
give
you
a
sight
of
the
Spirit
of
this
World
,
and
the
Fruits
of
it
,
from
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
the
Fruits
thereof
;
by
which
you
will
receive
an
Understanding
of
him
that
is
true
,
whom
if
ye
receive
,
you
shall
live
in
him
that
is
true
,
and
he
will
give
you
Power
to
become
the
Children
of
God
,
born
not
of
Flesh
and
Blood
,
but
of
the
Incorruptible
Seed
,
Word
and
Will
of
God
:
O
hear
his
Voice
,
that
you
may
be
his
Sheep
;
let
him
go
before
you
,
and
do
you
follow
him
,
&
he
will
give
unto
you
Eternal
Life
.
O
ye
Hungry
and
Thirsty
Ones
,
that
want
,
seek
and
cry
for
Eternal
Life
!
'T
is
his
Light
within
that
reveals
Life
and
Immortality
!
And
if
it
should
be
said
,
Can
any
good
come
out
of
Nazareth
?
Can
such
a
Day
of
small
things
bring
Salvation
?
I
say
,
Oh
,
Come
and
see
;
for
we
who
have
believed
,
have
seen
his
Glory
to
be
that
of
the
only
begotten
of
the
Father
,
full
of
Grace
,
and
full
of
Truth
:
He
is
the
good
Samaritan
,
the
Physi●ian
of
Value
;
he
cureth
our
Diseases
,
he
healeth
our
Breaches
,
he
leads
us
in
the
Wayes
of
Pleasantness
,
and
in
the
Paths
of
Peace
;
There
are
Riches
in
his
Reproaches
,
and
a
Crown
in
his
Cross
.
Remember
who
desired
Eternal
Life
,
and
what
hindred
!
Therefore
give
up
all
when
he
calls
,
and
follow
him
fully
.
Out
of
him
the
Enemy
is
too
strong
for
you
,
but
in
him
you
are
too
strong
for
the
Enemy
:
Therefore
wait
in
the
Light
of
Christ
,
and
watch
against
him
:
This
is
painful
to
Flesh
and
Blood
,
which
must
not
inherit
the
Kingdom
;
but
it
brings
the
Soul
into
the
Liberty
of
the
Sons
of
God
,
where
the
Peace
of
God
,
and
the
Joy
of
his
Salvation
flow
,
as
a
pure
River
that
is
never
dry
.
Oh!
that
you
may
have
Eternal
Life
,
that
you
may
not
miss
of
your
Desire
through
the
subtil
working
of
the
Enemy
of
your
Souls
,
that
seeks
to
divert
you
from
the
right
way
