         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).

           part
           let
           the
           Inhabitants
           of
           
             London
          
           prepare
           for
           Death
           ,
           for
           indeed
           a
           Plague
           is
           threatened
           ,
           And
           God
           keep
           back
           the
           fury
           of
           bloody
           m●nded
           Men.
           
        
         
           Then
           Considering
           that
           the
           poynt
           at
           its
           disappearing
           tended
           South-East
           ,
           let
           the
           Inhabitants
           of
           other
           place
           prepare
           to
           feel
           its
           Effects
           as
           well
           as
           we
           ,
           but
           not
           so
           soon
           by
           way
           of
           Digretion
           ,
           if
           I
           consider
           the
           two
           great
           Conjunctions
           of
           
             Saturn
          
           and
           
             Jupiter
          
           which
           fall
           in
           the
           signe
           
             Leo
             ,
          
           the
           Ascendant
           of
           
             Rome
          
           in
           the
           Years
           1682.
           and
           83.
           
           I
           cannot
           but
           think
           there
           will
           be
           a
           Totall
           Desolution
           of
           the
           
             Popish
          
           power
           within
           a
           small
           time
           after
           ,
           for
           I
           am
           perswaded
           that
           the
           work
           is
           begun
           already
           as
           to
           the
           Humane
           part
           ,
           and
           according
           to
           former
           Observations
           much
           after
           the
           Nature
           as
           it
           was
           in
           one
           great
           Conjunction
           in
           
             Leo
             ,
          
           when
           
             Rome
          
           was
           taken
           and
           the
           then
           present
           
             Pope
          
           confin'd
           ,
           but
           these
           two
           Conjunctions
           being
           in
           one
           ,
           and
           the
           same
           signe
           hapening
           in
           the
           space
           of
           one
           year
           ,
           which
           configurations
           have
           not
           hapened
           for
           the
           space
           of
           above
           2000
           years
           ,
           therefore
           it
           must
           needs
           shake
           
             Rome
          
           and
           change
           that
           place
           in
           qualitie
           ,
           and
           indeed
           these
           Conjunctions
           have
           Relation
           to
           all
           the
           whole
           World
           ,
           for
           it
           is
           an
           undoubted
           truth
           that
           the
           destruction
           of
           one
           State
           is
           the
           advancing
           of
           another
           ,
           and
           by
           how
           much
           the
           conquered
           lose
           in
           Power
           and
           Treasure
           ,
           by
           so
           much
           may
           the
           conqueror
           behold
           his
           own
           Victory
           .
           The
           World
           was
           never
           alwayes
           in
           one
           Position
           ,
           ●or

           consider
           whether
