         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).

           think
           it
           a
           light
           Argument

           so
           it
           is
           but
           a
           Toy

           is
           bestowed

           I
           think
           the
           fume

           idle

           and
           more

           But
           the
           pity

           the

           but
           that

           so
           as
           
           it
           seems
           a
           miracle
           to
           me
           ,
           how
           a

           a
           Father
           so
           generally
           hated

           should
           be
           welcomed

           so
           slender

           For

           they
           that
           first
           put

           in
           practice

           ,
           had
           remembred
           for
           what
           respect
           it
           was
           used

           whence
           it

           I
           am
           sure
           they

           been
           loath

           that
           Disease

           they
           did
           ,
           by
           using
           the
           Cure

           But
           since

           two

           Experience
           .
        
         
           First
           ,
           It
           is
           thought
           by
           you
           a
           sure
           Aphorisme
           in
           the
           Physick
           ;
           That
           the
           brains
           of
           all
           men
           being
           naturally
           cold
           and
           wet
           ,
           all
           dry
           and
           hot
           things
           should
           be
           good
           for
           them
           ,
           of
           which
           nature
           this
           stinking
           suffumigation
           is
           ,
           and
           therefore
           of
           good
           use
           to
           them
           .
           Of
           this
           Argument
           both
           the
           Proposition
           and
           Assumption
           are
           false
           ,
           and
           so
           the
           Conclusion
           cannot
           but
           be
           void
           of
           it self
           :
           For
           as
           to
           the
           Proposition
           ,
           That
           because
           the
           Brains
           are
           cold
           and
           moist
           ,
           therefore
           things
           that
           are
           hot
           and
           dry
           are
           best
           for
           them
           ;
           it
           is
           an
           inept
           Consequence
           :
           For
           man
           being
           compounded
           of

           the

           of
           his

           yet
           must
           the
           divers

           ,
           some
           to
           another
           Complexion
           ,
           according
           to
           the
           diversity
           of
           their

           a

           made
           up
           for
           the

           of
           the
           whole

           The
           application
           then
           of

           is

           because
           the
           Liver
           is
           as

           the
           Stomach

           close
           upon
           his
           Liver

           Cake
           of
           Lead

           he
           might
           within
           a
           very
           short
           time
           (
           I
           hope

           be

           very
           good
           cheap
           at

           besides
           the
           clearing
           of

           And
           as
           if
           because
           the
           Heart
           is
           full
           of
           vital
           Spirits

           and
           in
           perpetual
           motion
           ;
           a
           man

           lay
           a
           heavy
           pound
           stone
           on
           his
           Breast
           ,
           for
           staying
           and
           holding
           down
           that
           wanton
           Palpitation

           I
           doubt
           not
           but
           his
           Breast
           would
           be
           more
           bruised
           with
           the
           weight
           thereof
           ▪
           then
           the
           Heart
           would
           be
           comforted
           with
           such
           a
           disagreeable
           and
           contrarious
           Cure.
           And
           even
           so
           is
           it
           with
           the

           for
           if
           a

           because
           the

           cold
           and
           humide

           would
           therefore
           use
           inwardly
           by
           smells
           ,
           or
           outwardly
           by
           application

           things
           of

           all
           the
           gain
           that
           he
           could
           make
           thereof
           ,
           would
           onely
           be
           to
           put
           himself
           in
           great
           forwardness

           running
           mad

           by
           over-watching
           himself
           ;
           the
           coldness
           and
           moisture
           of
           our

           Indeed
           ,
           I
           do
           not
           deny

           be
           both
           necessary
           and
           helpful
           for
           strengthening
           and
           assisting
           Nature
           in
           the
           expulsion
           of

           for
           this
           is
           the

           But
           first
           ,
           These
           Cures
           ought
           not
           to
           be
           used
           ,
           but
           where
           there
           is
           need
           of
           them
           ;
           the
           contrary
           whereof
           is
           daily
           practiced
           in

           And
           next
           ,
           I
           deny
           the

           Argument

           I
           have
           already

           may
           be
           drawn

           I
           leave
           it
           to
           the
           discreet
           Judgment
           of
           any
           man
           that

           Do
           we
           not
           daily
           see
           ,
           that
           a
           man
           can
           no
           sooner
           bring
           over
           from
           beyond
           the
           Seas

           but
           that
           he
           cannot
           be
           thought
           a
           man
           of
           Spirit
           ,
           that
           would
           not
           presently
           imitate
           the

           hand
           it

           practised
           by

           it
           is
           come
           to
           be
           the
           Fashion

           for
           such

           the
           force
           of

           such

           the
           corruption
           of

           bred

           our

           be
           thought
           inferiour

           embracing

           popular
           Error

           whereof
           I

           of
           this
           general

           That
           by
           the
           taking
           of

           themselves
           cured

           In

           a

           and
           next
           a
           monstrous
           absurdity

           is
           not

           that
           instant
           taken
           Tobacco

           his

           O
           then
           the
           Tobacco
           forsooth
           was
           the
           worker
           of
           that

           one
           of

           Disease
           after

           hath
           taken
           Tobacco

           some

           So

           old

           thank
           their
           Harlotry
           for
           their
           many

           that
           Custom
           being

           but
           never
           have
           mind
           how
           many
           die
           of
           the
           Pox

           of
           their
           Youth

           And
           so
           do
           old

           think
           they
           prolong
           their
           days
           by

           but
           never
           remember
           how
           many
           die
           drowned
           in
           Drink
           before
           they
           be
           half
           old

           And
           what
           greater
           absurdity
           can
           there
           be
           then
           to
           say
           ,
           that
           one
           Cure
           shall
           serve
           for

           It

           among
           all
           Physicians
           ,
           That
           there
           is
           almost
           no

           because

           as
           I
           have
           already
           said

           so
           different
           from

           That
           which
           is
           good
           for
           the
           Head
           is
           evil
           for
           the
           Neck
           and
           the
           Shoulders

           and
           more
           secret
           Effects
           wrought
           in
           the
           Body
           by
           the

           Scorbutick
           disposition

           and
           promoting
           it
           where
           it
           is
           already
           radicated
           .
           And
           this
           is
           procured
           these
           wayes
           :
           First
           ,
           By
           depressing
           the
           Spirits
           ,
           and
           alienating
           them
           from
           their
           genuine
           propriety
           and
           purity
           .
           Secondly
           ,
           By
           vitiating
           the
           Stomach
           ,
           and
           depraving
           the
           Palate
           .
           Thirdly
           ,
           By
           exhausting
           the
           dulcid
           good
           juyce
           of
           the
           Body
           ,
           leaving
           behind
           and
           procuring
           the
           remainder
           more
           viscous
           ,
           acrid
           and
           sharpe
           .
           Fourthly
           ,
           By
           prejudicing
           and
           weakening
           the
           Lungs
           and
           vital
           Parts
           .
        
         
           That
           it
           hath
           a
           property
           to
           depress
           and
           clog
           the
           Spirits
           ,
           is
           apparent
           by
           its
           narcotick
           vertue
           ,
           causing
           a
           dulness
           ,
           heaviness
           ,
           lassitude
           ,
           and
           disposing
           to
           sleep
           after
           the
           use
           of
           it
           .
           That
           it
           alienates
           the
           Spirits
           ,
           is
           concluded
           from
           its
           virulent
           nature
           ,
           and
           discord
           with
           our
           nature
           ,
           and
           that
           is
           argued
           from
           the
           symptoms
           that
           attend
           the
           first
           use
           .
        
         
         
           That
           it
           is
           noxious
           to
           the
           Stomach
           (
           the
           first
           grand
           Laboratory
           of
           the
           Body
           )
           is
           rational
           to
           assert
           :
           For
           ,
           as
           Tobacco
           affects
           the
           mouth
           with
           an
           ill
           stinking
           tast
           ,
           so
           the
           Stomach
           also
           goes
           not
           free
           ,
           but
           is
           tainted
           with
           it
           ;
           which
           is
           communicated
           to
           the
           Food
           received
           .
           Now
           considering
           the
           nature
           of
           Tobacco
           ,
           as
           it

           biting
           ,
           Purgative
           ,
           or
           rather
           virulent
           ,
           altogether
           medicinal
           ,
           and
           not
           alimental
           ;
           and
           this
           constantly
           to
           impregnate
           and
           tincture
           our
           nutrimental
           succus
           with
           these
           properties
           and
           qualities
           ;
           we
           cannot
           otherwise
           expect
           by
           length
           of
           time
           and
           daily
           use
           ,
           but
           that
           it
           will
           shew
           its
           power
           and
           vertue
           to

           since

           well

           Tobacco

           since
           of
           latter
           years
           that
           Tobacco
           hath
           been
           in
           use

           and
           in
           those
           Countries
           where
           Tobacco
           is
           much
           taken
           ,
           it
           doth
           abound
           most
           .
        
         
           Although
           I
           discommend
           the
           use
           of
           Tobacco
           by
           smoking
           it
           ,
           as
           an
           injurious
           Custome
           ,
           yet
           I
           highly
           applaud
           it
           ,
           as
           very
           medicinal
           ,
           being
           rightly
           used
           .
           I
           remember
           about
           fifteen
           years
           since
           ,
           a
           Patient
           of
           mine
           in
           Derby-shire
           ,
           fell
           into
           a
           great
           Paroxysm
           of
           an
           Asthma
           ,
           almost
           to
           suffocation
           ;
           I
           exhibited
           a
           Dose
           of
           the
           Syrup
           of
           Tobacco
           ,
           which
           gave
           him
           present
           help
           ,
           and
           within
           a
           few
           hours
           was
           relieved
           ,
           that
           he
           could
           draw
           his
           Breath
           with
           much
           ease
           and
           freedome
           :
           And
           about
           a
           year
           after
           ,
           at
           Maxfield
           in
           Cheshire
           ,
           I
           cured
           a
           Gentlewoman
           of
           an
           Ulcer
           in
           Ano
           of
           seven
           years
           standing
           ,
           chiefly
           with
           the
           Ointment
           of
           Tobacco
           ;
           and
           although
           other
           things
           were
           used
           ,
           yet
           I
           ascribe
           most
           of
           the
           Cure
           to
           that
           Unguent
           .
           And
           in
           many
           other
           cases
           Tobacco
           is
           of
           good
           use
           ,
           which
           I
           have
           experienced
           ;
           but
           smoking
           of
           it
           I
           find
           to
           be
           hurtful
           ,
           if
           it
           be
           customary
           .
           I
           shall
           not
           be
           so
           strict
           and
           severe
           against
           the
           use
           of
           it
           ,
           as
           to
           forbid
           all
           persons
           the
           smoking
           it
           upon
           any
           score
           whatever
           ;
           for
           that
           which
           may
           be
           used
           at
           certain
           times
           as
           medicinal
           upon
           just
           occasions
           requiring
           ,
           in
           some
           persons
           ,
           may
           prove
           very
           bad
           and
           pernicious
           upon
           the
           constant
           and
           general
           use
           .
           And
           this
           is
           the
           case
           of
           Tobacco
           .
        
         
           Tobacconists
           ,
           whom
           custome
           hath
           ensnared
           ,
           and
           brought
           them
           to
           delight
           in
           it
           ,
           are
           willing
           to
           be
           perswaded
           and
           deluded
           ,
           that
           it
           is
           good
           and
           wholesome
           ,
           at
           least
           harmless
           .
           The
           pretences
           which
           they
           urge
           in
           defence
           of
           it
           ,
           are
           such
           as
           these
           :
           Some
           plead
           for
           it
           ,
           and
           use
           it
           after
           Meat
           ,
           as
           a
           help
           to
           Digestion
           ,
           and
           therefore
           take
           it
           as
           a
           good
           remedy
           against
           a
           bad
           Stomach

           To
           this
           I
           answer

           because

           Therefore
           he

           and
           it

           this
           is

           understood

           whereby
           the

           more
           agreeable

           one
           drinks
           to
           satisfie
           Nature

           and
           to
           support
           his

           without

           Another

           Indeed

           we
           look

           the
           whole
           man

           we
           shall
           see
           all
           the
           faculties
           depraved
           ,

           Now
           according
           to
           these
           symptoms
           in
           other
           sicknesses
           ,
           we
           judge
           a
           man
           not
           likely
           to
           live
           long
           ;
           and
           that
           it
           is
           very
           hard
           he
           should
           recover
           ;
           the
           danger
           is
           so
           great
           from
           the
           many
           threatning
           symptoms
           that
           attend
           this
           sickness
           ,
           and
           prognosticate
           a
           bad
           event
           :
           here
           is
           nothing
           appears
           salutary
           ;
           but
           from
           head
           to
           foot
           ,
           the
           Disease
           is
           prevalent
           in
           every
           part
           ;
           which
           being
           collated
           ▪
           the
           syndrom
           is
           lethal
           ,
           and
           judgment
           to
           be
           given
           so
           .
        
         
           Surely
           then
           Drunkenness
           is
           a
           very
           great
           Disease
           for
           the
           time
           ▪
           but
           because
           it
           is
           not
           usually
           mortal
           ,
           nor
           lasts
           long
           ;
           therefore
           it
           is
           slighted
           ,
           and
           look't
           upon
           as
           a
           trivial
           matter
           that
           will
           cure
           it self
           .
           But
           now
           the
           question
           may
           be
           asked
           ;
           Why
           is
           not
           Drunkenness
           usually
           mortal
           ?
           since
           the
           same
           signs
           in
           other
           Diseases
           are
           accounted
           mortal
           ,
           and
           the
           event
           proves
           it
           so
           .
           To
           which
           I
           answer
           ;
           All
           the
           hopes
           we

           a

           first
           ,
           From
           common
           experience
           that
           it
           is
           not
           deadly
           :
           Secondly
           ,
           From
           the

           strong
           Drink

           which
           although
           it
           rage
           ,
           and
           strangely
           discompose
           the
           man
           for
           a
           time
           ,
           yet
           it
           lasts
           not
           long
           ,
           nor
           is
           mortal

           The
           inebriating
           spirits
           of
           the
           liquor

           flowing
           in
           so
           fast

           regularly

           constantly

           with
           a
           moderate
           supply

           but
           being
           overcharged

           and
           forced
           out

           by
           the
           large
           addition
           of
           
             furious
             spirits

           spurs
           the
           functions
           into
           strange
           disorders

           as
           if
           nature
           were
           conflicting

           death

           dissolution
           ;
           but
           yet
           it
           proves
           not
           mortal
           .
        
         
           And
           this
           ,
           first
           ,
           because
           these
           
             adventitious
             spirits
          
           are
           amicable
           and
           friendly
           to
           our

           their
           own
           nature

           therefore
           not
           so
           
             deadly
             injurious

           Secondly

           Because
           they
           are
           very
           
             volatile

           Nature

           the

           soon
           falls

           depending

           the

           that
           they

           stupefies
           them

           all
           this

           all

           that
           by

             procured
          
           ;
           and
           so
           carries
           off
           something
           that
           was
           lodged
           there
           ,
           which
           might
           breed
           Diseases
           .
        
         
           This
           is
           a
           
             bad
             excuse
          
           for
           good
           Fellows

           a
           
             poor
             plea
          
           for
           drunkenness

           for

           gaining
           of
           one
           supposed
           benefit
           (
           which
           might
           be
           obtained
           otherwise
           )
           you
           introduce
           twenty
           inconveniences
           by
           it
           .
           I
           
           do
           not
           like
           the
           preventing
           of
           one
           Disease

             may
             be
          
           ,
           by
           procuring
           of
           one
           at
           the
           
             present
             certainly
          
           ,
           and
           many
           hereafter
           most
           probably
           :
           and
           if
           the
           Disease
           feared
           ,
           or
           
             may
             be
          
           ,
           could
           be
           prevented
           no
           otherwise
           ,
           but
           by
           this
           
             drunken
             means
          
           ;
           then
           that
           might
           tollerate
           and
           allow
           it
           :
           but
           there
           are
           other
           wayes
           better
           and
           safer
           to
           cleanse
           the
           body
           either
           upwards
           or
           downwards

           then
           by
           overcharging
           with
           strong
           drink

           and
           making
           the
           man
           to
           unman

           the
           evil
           consequents
           of
           which
           are
           many

           hoped
           for

           but
           pretended

           or
           if
           any
           ,
           but
           very
           small
           and
           inconsiderable
           .
        
         
           And
           although
           ,

           I

           not
           mortal

           and
           the
           danger
           perhaps
           not
           great
           for
           the

           lay
           the
           foundation
           of
           many
           
             chronick
             Diseases

           may
           justly
           conclude
           from
           the
           manifest
           irregular
           actions
           which
           appear
           to
           us
           externally

           that
           the
           functions

           All

           it
           to
           serious
           consideration

           how
           to
           deal
           with
           this
           Serpent

           fierce

           It
           is

           the
           egge

           much
           at
           that
           pass

           of
           which
           Augustine
           complains
           of
           in
           his
           time

           remedy
           to
           advise
           ,
           but
           thought
           it
           required
           the
           meeting

           think

           their
           own
           Families

           banish
           the
           spirits
           of
           their
           Butteries
           ,
           abandon
           that
           foolish
           and
           vitious
           Custom
           ,
           as
           Ambrose
           and
           Basil
           calls
           it

           of
           drinking
           Healths
           ,
           and
           making
           that
           a
           Sacrifice
           to
           God

           the
           health
           of
           others
           ,
           which
           is
           rather
           a
           Sacrifice
           to
           the
           Devil
           ,
           and
           a

           their
           own

           which
           he

           no
           better
           ,
           but
           to
           be
           counterblasted
           by
           the
           black

           because
           of
           the
           much
           gain
           it
           brings
           them

           If

           them

           We

           What
           provoked
           God

           drown
           the
           old
           World

           but
           Sin

           What
           caused
           God
           to
           rain
           down
           Fire
           and
           Brimstone
           on
           Sodom

           but
           their
           Sins
           of
           Pride
           ,
           Idleness
           ,
           and
           fulness
           of
           Bread
           ?
           And
           whilst
           Abraham
           interceded
           for
           Sodom
           ,
           had
           there
           been
           but
           Ten
           righteous
           persons
           found
           amongst
           them
           ,
           God
           would
           have
           spared
           them
           for
           their
           sakes

           Thus
           I
           have
           spoken
           against
           Sin
           in
           general
           ,
           as
           that
           which
           draws
           down
           Judgments
           upon
           our
           Heads
           :
           I
           will
           only
           lay
           a
           few
           Scriptures
           before
           you
           ,
           touching
           the
           Lord's
           anger
           against
           Sin
           ,
           which
           he
           cannot
           indure
           to
           behold
           without
           great
           indignation
           :
           For
           it
           is
           only
           Sin
           that
           makes
           a
           separation
           
           between
           God
           and
           our
           Souls
