         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).

           continue
           shameless
           in
           them
           ,
           yet
           that
           all

           tainted
           with

           may
           be
           preserved
           from
           them
           ,
           and
           cautioned
           and
           warned
           against
           them
           ;
           for
           this
           Gangrene
           of

           vile

           Errour

           Heresie

           that
           is
           a
           complex
           of
           the
           worst
           sort
           of
           Errors
           and
           Heresies
           that
           ever
           infested
           the
           Christian
           Profession
           ,
           hath
           to
           my
           certain
           knowledge
           overspread
           many
           parts
           and
           many
           persons
           in
           these
           Three
           Nations
           ,
           as
           well
           as
           elsewhere
           .
           Though
           I
           charge
           them
           not
           either
           upon
           the
           generality
           ,
           far
           less
           the
           universality
           of
           all
           them
           called
           Quakers

           But
           if
           they
           really
           disown
           these
           gross
           and
           vile
           Errors
           ,
           which
           I
           have
           proved
           them
           guilty
           of
           in
           this
           following
           Narrative
           ,
           and
           be
           cordial
           in
           the
           belief
           and
           acknowledgment
           of
           the
           great
           Fundamental
           Truths
           opposite
           to
           those
           Errors
           ,
           then
           it
           will
           be
           that
           which
           the
           sincere
           Professors
           of
           Christianity
           in
           these
           Three
           Nations
           will
           expect
           from
           them
           ,
           and
           may
           justly
           require
           of
           them
           ,
           as
           publickly
           to
           retract
           and
           renounce
           these
           Errors
           ,
           as
           they
           have
           publickly
           asserted
           them
           in
           their
           Printed
           Books
           in
           the
           face
           of
           the
           Christian
           World
           ,
           otherwise
           no
           sincere
           Christians
           will
           believe
           them
           to
           be
           in
           good
           earnest
           ,
           but
           that
           they
           resemble
           many
           old
           Hereticks
           ,
           and
           particularly
           the
           crafty
           Arrians
           ,
           that
           pretended
           and
           made
           great
           Protestations
           that
           they
           owned
           the
           true
           Faith

           all
           contained
           in
           the

           when
           they
           did
           nothing
           less
           .
           And
           whereas
           some
           have
           Objected

           have
           promised
           to
           do
           it

           otherwise
           it

           look

           The

             the

             is
             ,
             that
             I

             been
             mistaken

             these
             men

             but
             I
             never
             heard
             that
             a
             mistake
             only
             in
             mens
             persons

             was
             ever

             of
             Apostacy

             But
             they
             have
             no
             advantage
             against
             me
             in
             respect
             of
             the
             change

             my
             Opinion

             but
             I
             have
             the
             same
             advantage
             against
             them
             ;
             for
             they

             Four
             Fundamental
             Truths
             .
          
           
             The
             first
             is
             ,
             
               The
               necessity
               of
               Faith
               in
               Christ
               ,
               as
               he
               outwardly
               suffered
               for
               us
               at
            
             Jerusalem
             .
             This
             is
             the
             first
             .
             But
             that
             this
             is
             opposed
             by
             them
             ,
             I
             prove
             thus
             :
             The
             O●ject
             of
             Faith
             is
             opposed
             by
             them
             ,
             and
             therefore
             the
             Faith
             it self
             must
             needs
             be
             opposed
             .
             I
             hope
             the
             consequence
             is
             clear
             enough
             ,
             it
             needs
             no
             Proof
             .
          
           
             The
             Object
             of
             Christian
             Faith
             is

             As
             I
             have
             oft
             told
             
               G.

             they
             will
             needs
             seem
             to
             be
             Philosophers

             as
             well

             But
             it
             is
             a
             sad
             thing

             Philosophy
             should
             destroy
             their
             Faith.
             Now
             here
             is
             a
             false
             Notion

             that

             introduced

             preaching
             the

             Messiah

             Now

             by
             believing
             in

               That
               this
               is
               nothing
               injurious

               they
               had
               dented
               his

               Since

               but
               therefore
               need

             but

             need

             how

             The

             is
             the
             Effect

             they

             Now
             ,
             I
             hope
             I
             have
             proved
             they

             Therefore
             I
             think
             it
             necessary

             it

             It

             over-ruled

             be
             cut

             sentence

             it
             was

             desired

             his
             Name

             that
             was
             not

             After

             the

             thought

             too
             severe
             ,
             as

             .
             There
             was

             They

             that
             I

             had
             just
             cause

             them

             Errors

             I
             was
             presented
             by
             a
             Grand

             and
             the
             Presentment

             been
             Prosecuted

             if
             the

             been
             changed
             ,
             and
             I
             had
             been
             accused
             for
             endeavouring
             to
             alter
             the
             Government

             which
             is
             Capital
             by
             their
             Law
             ;
             and
             they
             would
             have
             found
             me
             guilty
             of
             Death

             had
             they
             not
             been
             turned
             out
             of
             the
             Government
             ,
             tho
             I
             was
             innocent
             :
             And
             when
             I
             objected
             against
             the
             Jury
             ,
             they
             would
             not
             suffer
             one
             of
             the

             to
             be
             cast

             Now
             it
             I

             because
             I

             there
             is
             but
             one
             only
             Christ
             .
             Now
             I
             say
             ,
             Christ
             without
             does
             not
             admit
             of

             Christ

             and
             Christ
             within

             not
             admit

             us

             But
             Christ
             without
             us
             admits
             of
             something
             else
             within
             us

             and
             that
             is
             his
             Spirit
             and
             Grace
             :
             And
             Christ
             within
             us
             ,
             admits
             of

             and
             that
             is
             his
             man-hood
             .
             This
             is
             not
             another
             Christ
             ,
             than
             what
             the
             Scripture
             speaks
             of
             ;
             but
             the
             Light
             within
             is
             one
             thing

             Now
             they

             What
             Confusion

             I
             say
             the
             Light
             within

             yet
             the

             And
             whereas
             they
             say
             the

             have
             been
             from
             Philosophy

             but
             it
             has
             been
             only
             ,
             that
             I
             may

             by
             true
             Philosophy

             overthrow

             Phylosophy

             which
             destroys
             their
             Faith.
             I
             need
             not
             bring
             Scripture
             to

             these
             Points

             because
             they

             Now
             whether

             then

             my
             particular
             Observations

             The
             general
             is
             ,
             that

             this
             occasion

             but
             (
             I
             say
             )
             they
             may
             sometimes
             be
             apt
             to
             drop
             some
             Expressions
             ,
             that
             they

             But
             to
             urge
             these
             against

             whole
             Party
             ,
             is
             too
             hard
             ,

             I
             hope

             If
             I
             have
             spoken
             amiss
             ,
             I
             am
             willing
             to
             be
             brought
             to
             a
             tryal
             .
             He
             says
             I
             have
             answer'd
             many
             Books
             ,
             wherein
             I
             have
             not
             recited
             all
             the
             Books
             I
             have
             answer'd
             .
             It
             is
             true
             ,
             and
             I
             blame
             not
             them
             for
             not
             doing
             so
             .
             But
             they
             say
             ,
             I
             only
             take
             bits
             and
             scraps
             here
             and
             there
             .
             I
             say
             ,
             what
             cause
             have
             I
             to

             and
             W.
             Penn's
             whole
             Books
             to
             you
             ,
             when
             they
             have
             not
             done
             so
             ?
             I
             think
             it
             sufficient
             to
             give
             an
             account
             of
             their
             sense

             full
             Periods
             and
             Paragraphs

             He
             says

             have
             already
             cleared

             from
             that

             the
             Object
             of
             Faith.
             And
             I
             say
             I
             have
             proved
             that
             they

             destroyed
             the

             times
             Owned
             it
             ,
             let
             them
             disown
             and
             retract
             their
             Errors
             ;
             I

             They
             have
             Contradicted
             themselves
             ;
             they
             have
             disowned

               T.

             discovery

             I
             made

             I
             begged
             of

             that
             they

             suffer
             me

             they
             said
             I
             might
             print

             as
             
               T.
               Ellwood
            
             did
             ;
             but
             I
             said
             I
             could
             not
             ,
             they
             have
             a
             Stock

             I
             have
             not
             .
             Whereupon
             I
             went
             to
             some
             of
             the
             Church-Party

             favour'd
             me

             and
             told
             them

             if
             I
             could

             meeting
             to
             hear
             me
             ,
             my
             design
             was
             to
             give
             forth
             a
             printed
             Advertisement

             clear
             myself
             of
             these
             things
             ,
             and
             they
             might
             be
             present
             if
             they
             would
             .
             Some
             of
             their
             Party
             said
             to
             me

             George
             ,
             
               do
               not
               they
               ,
               or
               some
               of
               them
               would
               give
               me
               a
               meeting
               .
            
             Accordingly
             they
             gave
             me
             a
             meeting
             .
             They
             took
             notice
             of
             some
             of

             I
             hope

             that
             Courage
             ,
             that
             I
             believe
             they
             would
             not
             be
             offended
             nor
             afraid

             I
             named
             them

             the

             The
             truth
             is
             ,
             I
             could
             be
             almost
             content
             to
             go
             away
             ,
             and
             say
             nothing
             to
             it
             ,
             there
             is
             so
             little
             of
             value
             in
             it
             .
             They
             say
             I
             began
             with
             them
             ,
             but
             they
             began
             with
             me
             in
             
               Pensylvania
               .
               I
            
             was
             doing
             my
             duty

             in
             preaching
             Christ
             without

             and
             Christ
             within
             ;
             they
             charged
             me
             with
             preaching
             two
             Christs
             .
             I
             went
             to
             some
             of
             them
             about
             it
             ,
             but
             they
             took
             their
             part
             against
             me
             .
             I
             laid
             it
             before
             the
             Ministry

             they
             also
             took
             their
             part
             .
