         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).

           Of
           Awakening
           to
           all
           that
           are
           guilty
           of
           these
           Sins

             Know
             it
             ,
             that
             for
             these
             things
             cometh
             the
             Wrath
             of
             God
             upon
             the
             children
             of
             Disobedience
             .
          
           There
           is
           reason
           that
           such
           Sinners
           should
           tremble
           at
           the
           Wrath
           of
           God

           hear
           what
           the
           Text
           and
           Doctrine

           such
           as
           you
           .
           I
           would
           fain
           have
           charity
           ,
           that
           there
           is
           but
           one
           in
           this
           Assembly
           ,
           that
           hath
           been
           guilty
           of
           Murder
           in
           the
           highest
           degree
           of
           it
           ;
           yet
           I
           fear
           there
           are
           several
           that
           have
           Murdered
           in
           their
           hearts
           ,
           and
           some
           who
           have
           been
           guilty
           of
           interpretative
           Murder
           ,
           for
           hiding
           and
           concealing
           the
           Uncleanness
           of
           which
           this
           poor
           Condemned
           One
           was
           guilty
           ,
           before
           she
           became
           
           guilty
           of
           Murder
           ,
           for
           which
           she
           is
           to
           dye
           .
           I
           fear
           the
           guilt
           of
           Innocent
           Blood
           lies
           also
           upon
           some
           that
           through
           a
           greedy
           desire
           to
           get
           gain
           ,
           have
           made
           drunk
           the
           heathen
           ,
           to
           the
           occasioning
           quarrels
           to
           death
           among
           themselves
           ,
           and
           ploddings
           of
           death
           to
           others
           .
           Oh
           consider
           of
           the
           words
           and
           truth
           of
           God
           to
           you
           this
           day
           ,
           and
           labour
           to
           get
           a
           pardon
           for
           your
           Blood-guiltiness
           .
           Here
           also
           is
           certainly
           matter
           of
           Awakening
           to
           all
           unclean
           Sinners
           ,
           Adulterers
           or
           Fornicators

           It

           are
           not
           many
           before
           God

           that
           have
           before
           man

           not
           many

           the
           sight

           had
           Bastards
           laid
           to

           much

           who
           are
           Whoremongers
           in
           the
           sight
           of
           God

           and
           exposed
           to
           this
           Wrath
           ,
           that
           you
           hear
           determined
           from
           the
           Lord
           God
           of

           Hear
           &

           been
           in
           heart
           ,
           but
           actually
           unclean
           before
           the
           eye
           of
           your
           Judge
           :
           How
           can
           you
           escape
           the
           Wrath
           of
           God
           under
           the
           guilt
           of
           these
           ?
           This
           Sin
           of
           Uncleanness
           is
           one
           great
           cause
           why
           the
           Land
           mourns
           this
           day
           ,
           and
           is
           a
           sin
           for
           which
           many
           will
           despairngly
           mourn
           at
           last
           ,
           unless
           they
           speedily
           repent
           .
           This
           evil
           is
           thought
           to
           be
           a
           prevailing

           growing

           I

           therefore
           more

           Uncleanness

           1.
           
           To
           all
           those
           who
           can

           this
           Sin
           with
           greediness
           ,
           and
           without
           remorse
           ;
           these
           have
           got
           the
           mastery
           of
           their
           consciences

           who
           can

           this
           sin
           without
           terror
           ,
           the
           wounds
           that
           this
           sin
           makes

           are
           not
           felt
           ;
           time
           was
           when
           the
           accusations
           of
           conscience
           made
           them
           tremble
           ,
           fill'd
           them
           with
           inward
           horror
           ;
           time
           was
           ,
           when
           they
           could
           not
           yield
           to
           lesser
           acts
           of
           Uncleanness
           without
           much
           difficulty
           ,
           from
           the
           arguing
           of
           a
           conscience
           informed
           from
           the
           Word
           of
           God.
           But
           now
           they
           are
           greedy
           after
           the
           pleasures
           of
           sin

           themselves
           security

           So
           the
           whorish
           Woman

           doth
           not
           barely

           a
           desire

           You

           surely
           they

           It

           So
           was
           Judas
           ,
           so
           was
           Demas

           Pharisees
           ,
           that

           2.
           
           You

           only
           wherein
           they
           follow
           Christ.
           Good
           men

           walk
           by

           Consider
           how
           the
           Prophet
           was
           punished
           that
           was
           deluded
           ,
           upon
           a
           Prophets
           suggesting
           to
           him
           ,
           that
           an
           Angel
           had
           so
           spoken
           to
           him
           .
           1
           King.

           I
           would
           conclude
           with
           a
           Word
           of
           Warning

           that
           are
           the
           occasion
           of
           our
           being
           here
           this
           day
           before
           the
           Lord
           ,
           who
           are

           Righteous
           Sentence

           To

           You

           Earthly
           Tribunal

           How

           you
           stand
           before
           the
           Tribunal
           of
           Christ

           answer

           all
           your
           sins

           your
           day
           of
           Grace
           is
           almost
           gone

           Oh!
           now
           turn
           to
           God
