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).

REASONS
why
those
of
the
People
called
Quakers
,
Challenged
by
George
Keith
,
to
meet
him
at
Turner's
Hall
the
Eleventh
of
this
Month
called
June
,
1696.
Refuse
their
Appearance
at
his
Peremptory
Summons
.
WHereas
G.
K.
hath
after
his
wonted
Irregular
and
Unruly
manner
,
Challenged
divers
of
us
to
Defend
our Selves
against
such
Charges
as
he
has
to
Exhibit
against
us
at
Turner's
Hall
▪
These
are
to
Certifie
all
whom
it
may
concern
,
That
the
Reasons
why
we
Decline
any
such
Meeting
,
are
as
follow
:
1.
Because
the
said
G.
K.
has
given
us
such
frequent
Proofs
of
his
very
passionate
and
abusive
Behaviour
,
at
the
many
more
Select
Meetings
we
have
had
with
him
,
in
all
manner
of
Sweetness
,
Long-suffering
,
and
Patience
on
our
side
,
to
satisfie
and
preserve
him
from
these
Extreams
:
That
we
cannot
assure
our selves
now
of
any
better
Entertainment
,
or
that
the
Meeting
can
have
any
desirable
Success
for
a
through
Information
.
2.
We
Decline
to
meet
,
because
it
is
not
an
agreed
Meeting
on
both
Sides
,
which
it
ought
to
have
been
;
and
where
that
is
not
,
or
cannot
be
Adjusted
,
the
Press
is
the
next
fair
way
and
Expedient
,
which
he
has
begun
with
,
and
now
seems
to
decline
;
Nor
hath
he
sent
us
a
Copy
of
his
Charge
or
Indictment
against
us
,
which
also
he
ought
to
have
done
.
3.
That
he
has
two
of
our
Books
which
lie
hard
at
his
Door
,
in
Vindication
of
us
and
our
Doctrines
from
his
Exceptions
,
and
which
he
has
not
yet
Answered
;
so
that
he
is
not
upon
Equal
Terms
with
us
;
and
therefore
we
think
his
Challenge
,
Appointment
and
Summons
,
unfair
;
and
that
all
that
are
not
partial
will
be
of
the
same
mind
with
us
.
4.
Such
Publick
and
Vnlimited
Meetings
are
too
often
attended
with
Heats
,
Levity
,
and
Confusion
,
and
Answer
not
the
End
desired
by
sober
and
enquiring
Men.
Besides
,
that
it
lets
up
a
Practice
that
Authority
may
judge
to
be
an
Abuse
to
our
Liberty
,
and
so
draw
that
under
Reflection
,
as
no
Friend
to
the
Civil
Peace
.
5.
We
know
not
what
Religion
or
Perswasion
this
Wavering
Man
is
of
,
or
what
Church
or
People
he
adheres
to
,
or
will
receive
him
,
with
his
vain
Speculations
,
that
have
led
him
to
desert
us
;
Nor
who
are
accountable
to
us
for
him
and
his
Irregularities
and
Abuses
;
the
generality
of
such
Assemblies
usually
making
ill
Auditors
,
worse
Judges
,
and
no
good
Security
for
our
Satisfaction
.
And
we
must
therefore
take
leave
to
say
,
It
seems
to
us
an
indirect
way
of
Disquieting
and
Invading
our
present
Liberty
,
That
so
Irreligious
a
Meeting
should
be
held
,
whose
End
is
to
abuse
other
Men
for
their
Religion
.
If
this
should
be
Imitated
by
all
the
several
sorts
of
different
Perswasions
in
this
City
,
what
Heaps
and
Confusions
must
necessarily
ensue
!
6.
Wherefore
lastly
,
Be
it
known
unto
all
,
That
for
the
sake
of
Religion
,
the
Liberty
granted
us
,
and
the
Civil
Peace
,
we
decline
to
meet
him
;
and
not
from
any
Apprehensions
we
have
of
his
Abilities
,
or
our
own
Consciousness
of
Error
,
or
Injustice
to
the
said
G.
K
,
whose
weak
and
unbridled
Temper
we
know
is
such
,
that
what
Learning
and
Parts
he
hath
,
have
not
been
able
to
ballance
and
support
him
on
less
Occasions
so
that
we
may
say
they
are
in
ill
hands
;
and
if
he
proceed
as
he
begins
,
they
will
be
employed
to
an
ill
End
,
which
his
(
poor
Man
!
)
cannot
but
be
,
unless
he
change
his
Course
;
which
we
heartily
pray
for
,
that
a
place
of
Repentance
he
may
find
;
and
,
through
a
true
Contrition
,
the
remission
of
his
great
Sin
of
Envy
,
and
Evilly
Intreating
the
Lords
People
and
Way
,
which
we
profess
,
and
which
he
the
said
George
Keith
hath
long
and
lately
both
Professed
,
and
Zealously
Vindicated
,
as
such
