Reproduction of original in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, Eng.
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).

A
NEW
YEARS
GIFT
For
A
o
1686.
WHO
liveth
in
this
mortal
life
,
That
doth
not
understand
,
The
mighty
Works
that
God
hath
done
,
And
wrought
with
his
right
Hand
,
The
heavens
and
earth
he
did
contrive
,
And
brought
thom
to
a
frame
,
Then
let
all
Souls
that
live
on
earth
,
Give
praise
unto
his
name
.
Then
all
the
works
that
he
had
done
,
He
saw
that
they
were
good
,
But
woful
wretched
wicked
man
,
From
his
obedience
fled
,
And
brought
on
his
posterity
,
Both
sorrow
,
pain
and
grief
,
But
he
decreed
most
graciously
,
To
send
our
souls
relief
.
He
chose
a
People
on
the
earth
,
Which
was
his
whole
delight
,
But
oh
how
oft
did
they
revolt
!
And
wrought
him
mikle
spite
,
On
Sinai
Mount
he
gave
a
Law
,
Which
they
should
well
observe
,
But
that
did
not
keep
them
in
aw
,
They
from
that
Law
did
swerve
.
Full
fourty
Years
they
did
him
grieve
Into
the
wilderness
,
But
still
his
thought
was
to
relieve
.
Them
from
their
sad
distress
,
He
brought
them
to
the
promis'd
Land
,
Which
he
a
promise
made
,
Even
to
the
blessed
Patriachs
,
When
they
from
Egypt
fled
.
It
seems
these
times
are
now
renew'd
,
Which
dayly
we
may
see
,
When
Christians
full
sore
pursue'd
,
Must
from
great
Tyrants
fly
,
And
forc'd
to
shelter
where
they
can
,
For
to
escape
their
rage
,
Let
any
one
think
what
he
will
,
It
is
a
sad
presage
.
Lord
thou
that
sits
in
Heaven
above
,
And
looketh
down
below
,
Do
thou
revenge
thy
Servants
blood
,
That
suffers
overthrouw
,
Reward
these
persecutors
so
,
That
they
may
dread
and
fear
,
When
God's
strong
hand
shall
them
ov'rtake
,
And
them
in
pieces
tear
.
We
must
not
in
Gods
Secrets
Search
,
Nor
dive
in
his
de●ree
,
For
certainly
this
wicked
World
,
Shall
sadly
punish'd
be
,
For
faith
and
truth
is
fled
away
,
But
pride
and
greed
remains
,
The
poor
opprest
,
the
rich
at
rest
,
Have
all
things
to
their
minds
.
That
wickedness
and
cruel
Vice
,
Doth
in
those
times
abound
;
For
honesty
will
give
no
price
,
The
World
's
turn'd
upside
down
;
For
pure
Religion
's
made
a
mock
,
Which
dayly
we
do
see
,
And
some
do
wear
it
for
a
Cloak
To
hide
their
Villanie
.
But
Christ
,
his
true
Church
will
protect
In
spight
of
Devils
and
Men
,
Their
Plotts
shall
never
take
effect
,
Do
Wizzards
what
they
can
.
Though
Men
and
Devils
all
combine
To
damp
that
Glorious
light
,
The
Lord
will
frustrate
their
design
,
When
it
is
at
the
height
.
And
as
for
Conscience
that
poor
wretch
,
It
's
Coat
is
so
Threed
bare
,
It
quakes
and
trembles
when
it
thinks
The
truth
for
to
declare
.
It
never
feels
nor
finds
the
smart
;
Because
it
wants
the
sting
,
There
's
few
Men
conscience
take
to
Heart
,
If
it
can
profite
bring
.
Blest
be
the
Lord
that
hath
now
lent
To
us
a
good
new
Year
,
And
it
may
be
,
before
it
end
With
Christ
we
shall
appear
.
Then
shall
poor
conscience
tremble
sore
,
When
Christ
shall
it
accuse
,
That
willingly
,
and
wittingly
It
did
it self
abuse
,
Lord
do
thou
bless
this
Church
&
State
,
Here
where
we
have
abode
,
Give
grace
to
mend
our
wicked
lives
,
And
still
depend
on
God
,
And
seek
him
till
he
can
be
found
,
And
still
implore
his
grace
,
That
his
good
Sprit
may
us
conduct
,
Into
our
Heavenly
place
.
How
often
hath
the
Lord
spoke
home
Unto
this
congregation
,
By
powerfull
Preachers
of
his
word
,
And
by
good
approbation
.
When
they
take
pains
to
preach
the
word
,
For
our
eternal
good
,
If
we
neglect
and
slight
the
means
,
They
are
free
of
our
blood
.
The
Lord
hath
lent
us
many
years
,
Still
waiting
for
our
turn
,
Oh!
plant
in
us
thy
precious
fear
,
That
we
for
sin
may
mourn
.
That
we
may
live
a
godly
life
,
Untill
the
day
we
dye
.
Let
every
man
be
feard
to
sin
,
Grant
Lord
,
that
so
may
I.
