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).

In

which

Ah
Death

could
nought

But
thou
must
Glut

with

Could
nothing

But

of

In

And

Then

Our

But

Thou

For

So

And

thou

To

from

,
To
Summon

For

(

'T

His

Such

Is

though

I

But

Nor

permit

He

Inscrutable

And
at

For

Regardeth

And
in

End
,
with

Rewardeth
.
But
whither
hath
my
Mournefull
Muse
digrest
?
From
my
beloued
Soueraigne
Lord
deceast
:
Who
was
to
vs
,
and
we
to
him
,
Eu'n
Thus
,
To
bad
for
him
,
and
he
,
to
good
for

For
good
men
in
their
Deaths
,
'T
is
vnderstood
They
leaue
the
bad
,
and
goe
vnto
the
Good.
This
was
the
cause
,
why
God
did
take
from
hence
,
This
most
Religious
,
Learned
,
Gracious
Prince
,
This

This

This

From

These

did

And
God
,
in

,
hath
taken
them
.
Of
all
which
Blessings
,
(
we
must
needs
confesse
)
We
are
depriu'd
for
our
vnworthinesse
.
A
good
man
's
neuer
mist
till
he
be
gone
,
And
then
most
vaine
and
fruitlesse
is
our
mone
,
But
as
Heau'ns
fauours
,
downe
to

descended
:
So
if
our
thankfulnesse
had
but
Ascended
,
Had
we
made
Conscience
of
our
wayes
to
sinne
,
So
soone
of
him
,
we
not
depriu'd
had
bin
.
Then
let
vs
not
lament
his
losse
so
much
,
But
for
our
owne
vnworthinesse
was
such
.
So
from
th'vnthankfull
Iewes
,
God
in
his
wrath
Tooke
good
Iosias
,
by
vnlook'd

And
for

,
our

We
haue
procur'd

.
And
Christendome
,
I
feare
in
losing

,
Is
much
dismembred
,

As

Loue

Nor

In

No

But

Reape

Each

In

O

how

thy
Goodnesse

or'eflow
,
Thou
hast
not
dealt
with

so

And
all
these

which
from

did
spring
,
Were
by
our
Soueraignes
wisdomes
managing
.
Gods
Steward
,
both
in
Office
,
and
in

,
And
his
account
was
euermore
his

:
The
thought
from
out
his
minde
did
seldome
slippe
,
That
once
he
must
giue
vp
his
Steward-shippe
.
His
Anger
written
on
weake
water
was
,
His
Patience
and
his
Loue
were
grau'd
in
Brasse
:
His
Fury
like
a

Starre
soone
gone
,
His
Clemency
was
like
a

So
that
as
many
lou'd
him
whilst
he
liu'd
,
More
then
so
many
by
his
Death
are
grieu'd
.
The
hand
of
Heauen
was
onely
his

,
And
blest
him
in
the
Nobles
of

,
To
whom
his
Bounty
was
exprest
so
Royall
,
That

But
as

They

seru'd

he
honour'd

And
as

So

and
Set
were
but
two
dayes
betwixt
,
And
once
in
two
and
twenty
yeares
't
is
prou'd
,
That
the
most
fixed
Starres
are
something
mou'd
.
But
in
his
end
,
his
Constancy
we
finde
He
had
no
mutable
or
wauering
minde
:
For
that
Religion
which
his
tongue
and
pen
Did
still
defend
with
God
,
maintaine
with
men
:
That
Faith
which
in
his
Life
he
did
expresse
,
He
in
his
Death
did
constantly
professe
;
His
Treasure
and
his
Iewels
,
they
were
such
,
As
I
thinke
Englands
Kings
had
ne're
so
much
.
And
still
to
men
of
honour
and
desert
,
His
Coffers
were
as
open
as
his
heart
.
Peace
,
Patience
,
Iustice
,
Mercie
,
Pietie
;
These
were
his
Iewels
in
variety
:
His
Treasure
alwaies
was
his
Subiects
Loue
,
Which
they
still
gaue
him
,
as
th'
effects
did
proue
:
Which
like
to
Earths
contributary
streames
,
Payde
homage
to
their
Soueraigne
Ocean
,
Iames
:
He
knew
,
that
Princes
Treasure
to
be
best
,
That
's
layde
vp
in
the
loyall
Subjects
brest
;
And
onely
't
was
the
Riches
of
the
minde
,
To
which
he
couetously
was
inclinde
.
Thus
was
he
blest
in
Person
,
blest
in
State
,
Blest
in
his
first
,
and
in
his
Latter
date
:
Blest
in
his
education
,
blest
in
's
learning
,
Blest
in
his
Wisedome
,
Good
and
Ill
discerning
,
Blest
in
his
Marriage
,
and
in
his
royall
Race
,
But
blessed
most
of
all
in
Gods
high
Grace
.
He
did
his
God
deuoutely
serue
and
feare
,
He
lou'd
him
,
and
his
loue
he
held
most
deare
:
He
honour'd
and
obayde
him
faithfully
;
He
in
his
fauour
liu'd
,
and
so
did
dye
:
His
duty
vnto
God
he
knew
the
way
And
meanes
,
to
make
his
Subiects
him
obey
:
He
knew
that
if
he
seru'd
his
God
,
that
then
He
should
be
seru'd
,
and
fear'd
,
and
lou'd
of
Men
:
And
that
if
he
Gods
Statutes
did
respect
,
That
Men
would
feare
his
Statutes
to
neglect
.
Thus
his
Obedience
vpward
,
did
bring
downe
Obedience
to
his
Person
,
and
his
Crowne
.
He
did
aduaunce
the
good
,
supprest
the
bad
,
Relieu'd
the
poore
,
and
comforted
the
sad
:
The
widow
,
and
the
orphant
fatherlesse
,
He
often
hath
suppli'd
in
their
distresse
,
For
why
,
to
rich
and
poore
,
to
great
and
small
,
He
was
a
common
Father
vnto
all
.
His
affabilitie
and
Princely
partes
,
Made
him
a
mighty
Conquerour
of
Hartes
:
Offenders
whom
the
law
of
life
depriues
,
His
Mercie
pardon'd
,
and
preseru'd
their
liues
,
To
prisoners
,
and
poore
captiues
miserie
,
He
was
a
Magazine
of
charitie
,
For
losses
that
by
sea
,
or
fire
did
come
,
He
hath
bestowed
many
a
liberall
summe
.
Besides
,
for
Churches
,
it
most
plaine
appeares
,
That
more
hath
bin
repair'd
in
twentie
yeares
(
In
honour
of
our
God
,
and
Sauiours
name
)
Then
in
an
hundred
yeares
before
he
came
.
Our
ancient
famous
Vniuersities
,
Diuine
,
and
Humane
learnings
Nurseries
:
Such
dewes
of
Grace
,
as
the
Almighties
will
,
Was
pleased
(
through
those
Limbecks
)
to
distill
.
Which
(
spight
of
Romish
rage
,
or
Sathans
hate
)
Hath
caus'd
the
glorious
gospell
propogate
:
Our
(
light
of
learning
)
IAMES
,
did
still
protect
them
,
And
as
a
nursing
Father
did
affect
them
.
Thus
was
He
,
for
our
soules
,
and
bodies
health
,
Defender
of
both
Church
and
Common-wealth
.
For
Ireland
,
he
hath
much
reduc'd
that
nation
,
Churches
with
Land
endowed
,
caus'd
much
plātation
.
Whereby
Ciuility
is
planted
there
,
The
Kings
Obedience
,
and
th'Almigties
Feare
.
These
Deedes
this
worthy
godly
Prince
hath
done
,
For
which
he
hath
perpetuall
praises
wonne
.
Ah!
what
a
gracious
Man
of
God
was
this
?
Mercy
and
Iustice
did
each
other
kisse
;
His
Affability
whilst
he
did
liue
,
Did
make
all
Men
themselues
to
him
to
giue
.
Thus
liu'd
Great
IAMES
,
and
thus
Great
IAMES
did
dye
,
And
dying
thus
doth
liue
Eternally
.
With
Honour
he
did
liue
,
and
Life
forsooke
,
With
Patience
like
a
Lambe
his
Death
he
tooke
:
And
leauing
Kingly
cares
,
&
Princely
paine
,
He
now
inherits
an
Immortall
Raigne
:
For
royal
grieu'd
,
perplexed
Maiestie
,
He
hath
a
Crowne
of
perpetuitie
:
For
miserable
Pompe
that
's
transitory
,
He
is
aduanc'd
to
euerlasting
glory
.
And
as
he
lou'd
,
and
liu'd
,
and
dyde
in
Peace
,
So
he
in
Peace
did
quietly
decease
:
So
let
him
rest
in
that
most
blest
condition
,
That
's
subiect
to
no
change
or
intermission
;
Whilst
we
his
Seruants
,
of
him
thus
bereft
,
With
grieued
and
perplexed
hearts
are
left
;
But
God
in
mercy
looking
on
our
griefe
,
Before
he
gaue
the
wound
,
ordain'd
reliefe
:
Though
duteous
Sorrow
bids
vs
not
forget
This
clowde
of
Death
,
wherein
our
Sunne
did
set
,
His
Sonnes
resplendent
Maiestie
did
rise
,
Loadstone
,
and
Loadstarre
to
our
hearts
and
eyes
:
He
cheeres
our
drooping
spirits
,
he
frees
our
feares
And
(
like
the
Sunne
)
dryes
vp
our
dewey
Teares
.
And
those
his
seruants
that
lamenting
Grieue
King
Charles
his
Grace
and
fauour
doth
Releeue
:
But
as
they
seru'd
his
Father
,
so
he
will
Be
their
most
louing
Lord
and
Soueraigne
still
,
As
they
were
first
to
their
Master
liuing
(
being
dead
)
They
are
releeued
,
and
recomforted
.
Thus
Charitie
doth
in
succession
runne
,
A
Pious
Father
leaues
a
Godly
Sonne
:
Which
Sonne
his
Kingly
Gouernment
shall
passe
His
Kingdomes
Father
,
as
his
Father
was
.
For
though
Great
Iames
inter'd
in
earth
doth
lye
Great
Charles
his
breast
intombes
his
memorye
,
And
heer
's
our
comforts
midst
our
discontents
Hee
's
season'd
with
his
Fathers
Documents
.
And
as
th'
Almighty
was
his
sheild
and
speare
,
Protecting
him
from
danger
euery
where
:
From
most
vnnaturall
foule
Conspiracie
,
From
Powder
plots
,
and
hellish
Treacherie
,
Whilst
he
both
liu'd
and
dyde
,
belou'd
,
Renound
,
And
Treason
did
it selfe
,
it selfe
confound
,
So
I
inuoke
th'
Eternall
Prouidence
To
be
to
Charles
a
Buckler
and
defence
,
Supported
onely
by
the
Power
Diuine
As
long
as
Sunne
or
Moone
or
Starres
shall
shine
.
To
all
that
haue
Read
this
Poeme
.
I
Boast
not
,
but
his
Maiestie
that
's
dead
Was
many
times
well
pleasd
my
lines
to
read
:
And
euery
line
word
,
syllable
and
letter
Were
(
by
his
reading
)
graced
and
made
better
,
And
howsoeuer
they
were
good
,
or
ill
His
Bounty
shewed
,
he
did
accept
them
still
;
Hee
was
so
good
and
gracious
vnto
me
,
That
I
the
vilest
wretch
on
earth
should
be
If
,
for
his
sake
I
had
not
writ
this
verse
My
last
poore
dutie
,
to
his
Royall
Hearse
,
Two
causes
made
me
this
sad
Poeme
write
,
The
first
,
my
humble
dutie
did
inuite
,
The
last
to
shunne
that
vice
which
doth
include
All
other
vices
,
foule
ingratitude
.
