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).

I
Fear
an
Oath
,
before
I
swear
to
take
it
;
And
well
I
may
,
for
't
is
the
Oath
of
God
:
I
fear
an
Oath
,
when
I
have
sworn
,
to
break
it
;
And
well
I
may
,
for
Vengeance

And
yet
I
may
swear
,
and
must
too
,
't
is
due
Both
to
my
Heav'nly
,
and
my
Earthly
King
:
If
I
assent
,
it
must
be
full
and
true
;
And
if
I
promise
,
I
must
do
the
thing
.
I
am
no

not
at

But
am
a
Protestant

and
shall
declare
What
I
cannot
,
and
what
I
can
protest
.
I
never

endeavour
Alteration
Of
Monarchy
,
or
of
that
Royal
Name
,
Which
God
hath
chosen
to
cōmand
this

But
will
maintain
his

,
Crown
&
Fame
:
What
he
commands
,
if
Conscience
say
not
nay
,
(
For
Conscience
is
a
greater
King
than

)
For
Conscience-sake
,
not
Fear
,
I
will
obey
;
And
if
not
Active
,
Passive
I
will
be
.
I
'll
pray
that
all
his
Subjects
may
agree
,
And
never
more
be
crumbled
into
parts
;
I
will
endeavour
that
his
Majestie
M●y
not
be
King
of
Clubs
,
but
King
of
Hearts
.
The

The

for

I

And
if
my

I

I
dare

Church-Government
is

As
it
should

;
but
this
I
dare
to
swear
,
If
they

to
't
,
the

might
Do
better
,

Nor

That

And
yet
I

the

holdeth
forth
Christ
with

That
Peter
was
a
Prelate
they
aver
;
But
I
'l
not

't
when
all
is
said
and
done
But
I
dare
swear
,
and
hope
I
shall
not
err
,
He
preach'd
a
hundred
Sermons
to
their
one
.
Peter
a
Fisher
was
,
and
he
caught
Men
:
And
they
have
Nets
,
&
in
them
catch
Men
too
;
Yet
I
'l
not

they
are
alike
,
for

He

he
sav'd
:
these
catch
,
&
them
undo
.
I
dare
not
swear
that
Courts
Ecclesiastick
Do
in

make

;
But
I
'l
be
sworn
that
Burton

Pryn
and
Bastwick
Were
once
Ear-witnesses
of
harsher
Notes
.
Archdeacons
,
Deans
&
Chapters
are
brave
men
,
By

,
not
by

:
but
to
this
,
If
I
be
call'd
,
I
'll
swear
,
and
swear
agen
,
That
no
such
Chapter
in
my
Bible
is
.
I
'll
not
condemn
those
Presbyterians
,
who
Refused
Bishopricks
,
and
might
have
had
'em
:
But
Mistris
Calamy
I

As

For

Some

some

And

Paul
had
a
Cloak
,
and

&
Parchments
too
;
But
that
he
wore

Surplice
I
'll
not

,
Nor
that
his
Parchments
did
his
Orders
shew
,
Or
in
his
Books
there
was
a
Common-Prayer
.
I
owe
assistance
to
the
King
by
Oath
;
And
if
he
please
to
put
the
Bishops
down
,
As
who
knows
what
may
be
,
I
should
be
loth
To
see
Tom
Beckets
Mitre
push

Crown
.
And
yet
Church-Government
I
do
allow
,
And
am
contented
Bishops
be
the
men
;
And
that
I
speak
in
earnest
,
here
I
vow
Where
we
have
one
,
I
wish
we
might
have
ten
.
In
fine
,
the
Civil
Power
I
'le
obey
,
And
seek
the
Peace
&
Welfare
of
the
Nation
:
If
this
won't

I
