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).

THE
EPISTLE
TO
THE
READER
,
COurteous
Reader
,
I
shall
wave
the
divers
Opinions
of
Phylosophers
,
concerning
the
generation
of
Commets
,
and
proceed
to
my
intended
matter
thus
,
Viz.
That
the
Romans
who
had
the
benefit
of
Christ's
Doctrine
long
before
we
the
Inhabitants
of
these
Northern
Isles
:
(
to
whose
shame
be
it
said
)
that
they
are
now
since
become
Christian
Idolaters
,
and
have
shaken
hands
with
that
blessed
and
saving
Doctrine
,
and
trode
down
those
Pious
Precepts
of
the
Apostles
,
and
only
use
the
Name
of
Christ
,
and
his
chosen
Twelve
,
to
in
snare
mankind
into
their
damnable
Idolatrous
and
inhuman
Principles
;
their
Murders
,
their
Idolatries
,
their
Blasphemies
,
their
Actions
against
God
,
The
Laws
of
Nations
and
Nature
enforces
me
to
stile
her
the
very
Essence
of
Antichrist
:
and
surely
God
hath
a
scourge
in
store
for
this
Monstrous
Beast
;
but
yet
it
hath
many
times
fallen
out
that
the
Righteous
and
wicked
have
suffered
together
,
and
let
us
remember
the
Frustration
that
the
Antient
People
called
Jews
,
laboured
under
in
Construing
the
Effects
of
those
many
Signs
and
Tokens
that
were
visible
to
them
,
to
be
a
Forerunner
of
their
Enemyes
destruction
;
let
us
not
glory
in
the
Ruine
,
but
rather
in
the
Reformation
of
our
Enemies
,
Protestant
Christians
have
offended
,
slighted
,
and
committed
sins
against
the
God
of
Heaven
that
hath
abounded
in
mercy
towards
them
,
therefore
for
the
slighting
of
mercy
,
Judgment
is
near
taking
place
.
Let
it
be
remembred
that
on
the
18th
.
of
May
Anno
1680.
That
the
Prodigious
storm
of
Haile
fell
in
and
about
the
City
of
London
,
and
the
Effects
of
such
kind
of
Haile
,
we
have
upon
Record
in
the
last
year
of
the
Reign
of
Queen
Mary
,
in
and
about
the
Town
of
Nottingham
which
was
indeed
a
very
great
Mortality
,
&
in
the
same
&
succeeding
year
abundance
of
People
dyed
,
amongst
which
the
Queen
was
one
,
and
indeed
this
latter
storm
hath
had
pretty
smart
E●…s
since
the
above
mentioned
Date
,
and
this
prodigious
Comet
being
of
such
signification
and
concurring
in
Nature
with
that
Haile
,
must
of
necessity
have
extream
Effects
upon
the
bodies
of
Man-kind
.
The
Description
.
THe
first
appearance
of
it
was
in
the
sign
Sagitarius
or
the
latter
end
of
Scorpio
when
we
had
Advice
of
it
from
Falmouth
in
the
London
Gazzet
,
about
the
beginning
of
November
,
and
since
it
hath
past
Sagitarius
and
is
now
in
the
sign
Capricorn
about
the
23
Degree
,
for
it
was
observed
on
the
12th
.
of
December
by
a
very
worthy
Person
to
be
about
5
Degrees
of
Capricorn
&
its
diuerall
Motion
about
1
Deg.
30
minutes
,
&
by
the
Addition
of
its
diurnall
Motion
it
reaches
to
the
23d
.
as
aforesaid
,
at
the
time
of
writing
being
the
24th
.
of
December
the
Starr
hath
about
10
Degrees
North
Latitude
,
and
about
the
bigness
of
a
Starr
of
the
4th
.
Magnitude
with
a
Stream
or
Blaze
pointing
Easterly
of
about
60
Degrees
in
length
,
the
Star
of
a
Pale
Leaner
Colour
,
and
also
the
Stream
or
Blaze
by
way
of
Judgment
according
to
Art
,
there
are
two
things
to
be
considered
,
first
The
place
of
the
Comet
in
the
Zodiack
,
secondly
,
where
the
Stream
poynts
.
To
the
first
I
do
believe
it
hath
past
part
of
Scorpio
and
all
Sagitarius
,
therefore
let
part
of
France
,
and
part
of
Germany
,
and
Spain
look
to
it
,
for
they
either
offensively
or
defensively
shall
batter
themselves
or
some
other
People
,
and
in
as
much
as
it
is
gotten
into
Capricorn
,
I
pray
,
God
keep
the
Dominion
of
Great
Brit●an
in
Peace
because
in
〈◊〉
Capr●…o●
is
the
〈…〉
part
of
Scotland
,
for
it
is
much
to
be
〈…〉
that
the
〈◊〉
once
more
Rebell
against
England
,
and
I
must
farther
take
a
Cognisance
of
its
passing
Sagitarius
,
a
signe
opposite
to
London's
Asdendant
,
where
that
great
●onjunction
fell
of
Saturn
and
Jupiter
in
the
year
1663.
From
which
Mr.
Richard
●…lin
predicted
that
great
Plague
which
hapned
in
1665.
In
short
I
fear
England
,
but
more
especially
London
will
be
incident
to
an
infectious
Air
,
from
thence
proceed
Raging
Pestilentall
Diseases
,
Rumours
and
Real
Wars
and
home
bred
Divisions
,
poysoning
open
and
private
Murders
,
let
England
beware
of
Flatterers
and
treat
its
Neighbours
in
a
posture
of
defence
.
To
conclude
this
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
hardly
ever
will.
The
Reverend
Mr.
Perkins
one
of
the
Fathers
of
the
Church
in
his
Reading
of
the
Duration
of
Kingdoms
and
States
,
in
many
places
that
they
do
not
for
the
most
part
continue
above
5
or
600
years
at
the
most
,
without
being
Sack't
by
Strangers
,
then
let
the
Reader
consider
whether
a
great
part
of
Europe
is
not
near
great
Alterations
,
England
according
to
that
Dostrine
cannot
but
be
very
sensible
of
the
sad
Effects
.
I
shall
now
conclude
with
this
Astrological
Prediction
,
that
within
this
five
years
all
Europe
shall
go
near
to
be
up
in
Armes
.
