         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
           Allmighty
           reward
           you
           :
           I
           am
           now
           preparing
           my self
           for
           another
           World
           ,
           and
           do
           heartily
           forgive
           all
           my
           Enemies
           .
           There
           was
           Four
           of
           my
           Witnesses
           that
           did
           not
           appear

           one
           Mr.
           
             White
          
           and
           his
           Wife

           Mrs.
           
             Fairelace
          
           and
           the
           Maid
           ,
           where
           I
           was
           that
           Night
           .
           Let
           not
           God
           lay
           my
           Blood
           to
           their
           Charge
           :
           and
           God
           forgive
           all
           those
           that
           swore
           falcely
           against
           me
           .
           And
           whether
           before
           my
           Execution
           ,
           or
           after
           ,
           God
           is
           pleased
           to
           do
           it
           (
           but
           I
           am
           sure
           he
           will
           Reveal
           it
           )
           and
           when
           it
           is
           brought
           to
           light
           ,
           the
           World
           then
           will
           know
           my
           Wrongs
           .
           In
           the
           mean
           time
           I
           resigne
           my
           Soul
           and
           Body
           to
           him
           ,
           who
           is
           a
           just
           God
           ,
           and
           by
           this
           means
           will
           bring
           me
           to
           himself
           .
           This
           Affliction
           is
           a
           great
           one
           ,
           and
           more
           than
           human
           Nature
           can
           bear
           ;
           but
           I
           trust
           in
           him
           ,
           that
           he
           will
           not
           lay
           more
           on
           me
           ,
           than
           he
           will
           give
           me
           the
           Grace
           of
           his
           holy
           Spirit
           to
           undergo
           .
           And
           indeed
           I
           look
           upon
           it
           as
           a
           Fatherly
           Chastisement
           ,
           
             for
             whom
             he
             loves
             he
             doth
             chastise
          
           :
           For
           if
           I
           had
           my
           Deserts
           ,
           he
           might
           have
           taken
           me
           off
           in
           the
           midst
           of
           all
           my
           Sins
           ,
           and
           have
           rewarded
           me
           with
           the
           Punishment
           of
           the
           everlasting
           Prison
           (

           Sinners
           :
           But
           I
           hope
           he
           will
           give
           me
           the
           Grace
           of
           his
           holy
           Spirit
           to
           repent
           my self
           of
           all
           my
           Sins

           I
           have

           and
           shall
