         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).

           man
           abhorred

           And

           hee
           ought

           especially
           if
           you

           for
           your

           brought
           them

           We

           all
           things
           :
           and
           so
           you
           may
           see
           ,
           that
           all
           contrariety
           is
           ill
           ,
           for
           those
           that

           for
           to
           persevere
           only
           in
           contradiction
           ,
           and
           to
           thwart
           every
           mans
           pleasure
           ,
           is
           not
           the

           of

           of
           an

           Therefore
           let
           every

           Of

           THough
           wee
           may
           thinke

           that
           there
           is
           nothing
           of
           lesse
           moment
           ,
           then
           Dreames
           :
           yet
           for
           all
           this
           ,
           wee
           see
           other
           things
           that
           are
           worse
           ,
           and
           more
           idle
           ,
           and
           vaine

           as
           namely
           lyes
           ,
           or
           false
           Tales
           ,
           for
           of
           that
           which
           a
           man
           hath
           seene
           in
           his
           Dreame
           ,
           may
           be
           sayd
           something
           ,
           because
           all
           a
           mans
           life
           is
           but
           as
           it
           were
           a
           certaine
           Dream

           or
           Phansy

           but
           a
           man
           never
           dreamt
           a
           lye
           .
           Therefore
           wee
           ought
           lesse
           to
           trouble
           the
           eares
           ,
           and
           understandings
           ,
           of
           those
           that
           hate
           lying
           ,
           with
           Lyes
           then
           with
           Dreames
           .
           Because
           although
           they
           being
           but
           Jests
           ,
           yet
           this
           danger
           is
           in
           them
           ,
           that
           sometimes
           ,
           they
           are
           taken
           for
           truth
           ;
           Yet
           amongst
           good
           conditioned
           people
           ,
           Lyars
           doe
           receive
           this
           reward
           ,
           that
           becoming
           first
           reckoned
           ,
           but
           as
           Jesters
           ,
           they
           are
           afterwards
           people
           of
           no
           credit
           ,
           and
           their
           discourse
           is
           scarce
           excusable
           ,
           as
           being
           frothy
           words
           ,
           without
           substance
           .
           And
           it
           is
           neither
           more
           nor
           lesse
           ,
           then
           as
           if
           when
           such
           a
           one
           speakes
           ,
           as
           if
           he
           sayd
           nothing
           :
           or
           as
           if
           he
           did
           but
           draw
           ,
           and
           breath
           out
           the
           ayre
           .
           And
           you
           must
           know
           ,
           that
           you
           may
           talke
           with
           some
           that
           love
           lying
           so
           well
           ,
           that
           they
           will
           lye
           ,
           though
           it
           be
           to
           no
           end
           ,
           nor
           profit
           to
           them
           :
           but
           onely
           ,
           because
           a
           lye
           of
           their
           owne
           ,
           doth
           much
           please
           them
           .
           Even
           as
           a
           Drunkard
           ,
           that
           often
           drinketh
           ,
           not
           for
           thirst
           ,
           or
           neede
           he
           hath
           ,
           but
           only
           for
           the
           love
           of
           the
           drinke
           ,
           and
           they
           are
           so
           besotted
           in
           telling
           lyes
           ,
           that
           though
           they
           tell
           impossibilities
           ,
           they
           thinke
           they
           must
           be
           believed
           .
           
           As
           I

           day
           ,
           being
           very
           thirsty
           ,
           and

           a
           Pitcher
           of
           water
           ,
           that

           The

           suddenly

           many
           are
           wont
           to
           doe
           ,
           seeming
           thereby
           ,
           to
           make
           comparisons
           ,
           with
           every
           one
           that
           stands
           neere

           by
           which
           meanes

           if
           (
           peradventure

           they
           be
           of
           meane
           condition

           they

           it
           were
           vilify
           them
           ,
           and
           hit
           them
           in
           the
           teeth

           Which
           is
           a
           thing
           much
           displeasing
           unto
           every
           one
           .
           And
           into
           this
           fault
           ,
           we
           see

           very
           little
           spirit
           :
           and
           the
           little
           goodnesse
           they
           have
           ,
           is
           not
           very
           eminent

           1.
           
           And
           for
           this
           reason
           ,
           a
           man
           ought
           not

           either
           to
           abase
           ,

           ,
           beyond
           reason
           ,
           and
           should
           rather
           
           let
           some
           of
           his
           merits
           vanish
           as
           the
           Ayre
           ,
           then
           to
           shew
           any
           arrogancy
           in
           his
           words

           for
           even
           the
           good
           which
           may
           bee
           found
           in
           this
           case
           ,
           when
           it
           is
           much
           stood
           upon

           cloaked
           with
           humility

           on
           the
           other
           side
           ,
           wee
           must
           understand
           ,
           that
           those
           who
           (
           by
           words
           )
           doe
           without
           measure

           either
           extoll
           their
           owne

           or
           dispraise
           it
           ,
           and
           seeme
           to
           destroy
           those
           honours
           ,
           which
           doe
           manifestly
           belong
           unto
           them
           ,
           shew
           more
           pride
           therein

           then
           those
           that
           doe
           usurpe
           such
           honours
           ,
           that
           they
           never
           merited
           .
           And
           therefore
           some
           will
           say
           that
           (
           by
           chance
           )
           the
           wise
           Giotto
           ,
           did
           not
           deserve
           the
           title
           of
           master
           ,
           which
           was
           given
           him
           ,
           because
           hee
           refused
           it
           ,
           for
           you
           must
           know
           ,
           that
           at
           that
           time
           he
           was
           not

           And
           therefore
           it
           is

           deserveth
           ,
           and
           that
           which
           all
           of

           For
           it
           is

           BY

           you
           may
           understand
           that
           superfluous
           ceremonies
           ,
           are
           to
           be
           avoyded

           which

           use
           of
           them
           ,
           seems
           like

           is
           in
           them
           ,
           and

           solemnity
           ,
           that
           the
           Priests

             But
             when

             hee
             is
             to
             consider
             that
             every
             one

             offended

           they

           displease
           them

           never
           so
           little

           a
           man
           have
           but
           lifted
           up
           his

           and
           at
           the
           instant
           ,
           one
           behind
           him
           should
           hold
           his
           hand

           10.
           
           All
           these
           things

           be
           avoyded

           but
           in
           discoursing
           ,
           we
           ought
           rather

           then
           to
           hinder
           it

           And
           therefore

           it
           is
           not

           As
           much

           whole
           Night
           ,
           to
           
           Drinke

           and
           the
           reason
           was
           ,
           because

           yet
           wee
           ought

           with
           whom

           all
           which
           customes
           ,
           are
           very
           offensive
           .
           And
           as
           Pindar
           saith
           ,
           every
           thing
           that
           is
           done
           sweetly

           relisheth
           well

           is
           performed

           and
           conformable
           way
           .
           What
           then
           may
           I
           say
           of

           with
           a
           Pen
           in
           his
           Eare

           or

           his
           Fingers

           and
           of
           innumerable
           other
           sottish
           cricks
           ,
           which
           men
           may
           by
           observation
           finde

           intend
           not

           enlarge
           my selfe
           ,
           because
           I
           know
           there
           be
           many
           ,
           will
           say
           ,
           I
           have
           sayd
           farre
           too
           much
           .
           And
           so
           I
           conclude
           ,
           giving
           thee
           to
           understand
           ,
           that
           thou
           must
           not
           thinke
           that
           of
           these
           little
           things
           one
           can
           make
           but
           a
           small
           fault
           ,
           but
           that
           by
           many
           little
           ones
           ,
           a
           great
           one

           last
           bee
           committed
           .
           And
           that
           the
           lesse
           they
           are
           ,
           the
           more
           care
           thou
           hadst
           neede
           to
           take
           to
           leave
           them
           ,
           because
           they
           are
           so
           hardly
           discerned
           ,
           nor
           doth
           he
           that
           doth
           them
           consider
           ,
           that
           like
           as
           small
           Vnthrifty
           expences
           ,
           which
           by
           their
           continuance
           doe
           consume
           our
           estates
           before
           we
           are
           aware
           of
           them
           ;
           Even
           so
           doe
           these
           little
           faults
           ,
           by
           their
           great
           number
           ,
           spoile
           our
           good
           behaviour
           .
           Therefore
           they
           being
           of

           great
           moment

           wee
           ought
