         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).

             God

             Now

             As
             it

             been
             proved

             attained
             ,
             where
             the
             Service
             is
             not

             and
             so

             we
             have
             the
             judgment
             of

             Romish
             Church

             when
             they
             
             discourse
             practically
             upon
             this
             Argument
             ,
             and
             without

             to
             the
             controversie
             before

             Of

             I
             shall
             give
             an

               That
               it
               is
               of
               special
               concernment

               what
               manner
               we
               pray

               for
               although
               Prayer

               a

               good

               be
               rightly
               performed

               it
               doth
               not
               profit

             And
             
             elsewhere
             they
             insist
             upon
             several
             things
             that
             render
             our
             Prayers
             ineffectual
             ,
             as
             the
             ignorance
             of
             what
             we
             pray
             for
             ;
             and
             the
             want
             of

             or
             assent
             to

             unattainable

             come
             to
             controvert
             the
             Point
             in

             they

             they

             And
             therefore
             as
             the
             Priest
             is
             the
             Mouth
             of
             the

             he
             must

             a
             Tongue
             the
             Congregation
             understands
             :
             So
             the
             Congregation
             is
             to
             attend
             to
             him
             ,
             and
             to
             give
             their
             Amen
             ,
             and
             Assent
             to
             what
             he
             in
             their
             name
             offers
             to
             God
             :
             And
             he
             is
             neither
             Priest
             nor
             Mouth
             to
             them
             ,
             if
             he
             prevents
             them
             in
             their
             part
             ,
             and
             renders
             them
             uncapable
             of
             bearing
             a
             part
             in
             it
             ,
             by
             using
             a
             Tongue
             they
             understand
             not
             .
             And
             therefore
             it
             's
             as
             necessary
             the
             Congregation
             should
             understand
             as
             the
             Priest
             ,
             and
             if
             he
             do
             otherwise
             ,
             he
             can
             no
             more
             justifie
             himself
             ,
             than
             if
             he
             did
             celebrate
             the
             Service
             in
             a
             Tongue
             he
             himself
             knew
             nothing
             of
             ,
             and
             which
             neither
             the
             one
             nor
             the
             other
             did
             understand
             .
             So
             that
             upon
             the
             whole
             ,
             we
             have
             reason
             to
             conclude
             
             with
             
               Sanders
               ,
               That
               an
               Vnknown
               Tongue
               is
               not
               profitable
               for
               the
               people
            
             ;
             though

             will
             not
             allow
             it
             for
             that
             Reason
             to
             be
             unlawful
             .
          
           
             And
             that
             is
             the
             thing
             I
             shall
             now
             particularly
             enquire
             into
             ,
             by
             considering

             thought
             
             that
             religious
             things

             less
             they
             are
             understood
             ,
             the
             more
             they
             would
             be
             admired
             ;
             and
             that
             to
             preserve
             a
             reverence
             for
             them

             and
             the
             people
             from
             dangerous
             errors
             ,
             it
             is
             requisite
             to
             keep
             them
             from
             being
             understood
             .
             So
             little
             was
             it
             pleaded
             ,
             that
             there
             are
             any
             Tongues
             sacred
             in
             themselves
             ;
             and
             
             
             that
             as
             the
             three
             upon
             the
             Cross
             of
             Christ
             ,
             are
             to
             be
             preferred
             before
             others
             ,
             and
             to
             exclude
             the
             rest
             ;
             so
             the
             Latin
             as
             next
             to
             the
             head
             of
             Christ
             ,
             is
             the
             most
             venerable
             of
             the
             three
             .
             So
             little
             was
             it
             then
             thought
             that
             there
             is
             a
             certain
             kind
             of
             Divinity
             in
             Latin
             ,
             and
             
             something
             more
             of
             Majesty
             ,
             and
             fitter
             to
             stir
             up
             Devotion
             than
             in
             other
             Tongues
             .
             So
             little
             were
             they
             afraid
             ,
             that
             Latin
             would
             be
             lost
             ,
             if
             the
             Service
             were
             not
             kept
             in
             it
             ;
             or
             however
             ,
             so
             little
             evident
             is
             it
             ,
             that
             they
             valued
             the
             preservation
             of
             that
             Tongue
             above
             the
             Edification
             of

             Lastly
             ,
             So
             little
             did
             they
             think
             of
             the
             expedience
             of
             having
             the
             Service
