         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).

           him
           upon
           the
           Buttocks
           with
           a
           long

           which
           is
           drawn
           out
           of
           the

           the
           end
           :
           or
           strike
           him

           In
           case

           and
           hard

           in
           the

           then
           put
           in

           or
           in
           both
           his
           Ears
           a
           round

           will
           become
           as
           tame
           as
           a
           Lamb.
           It
           is
           also
           the
           duty
           of
           the
           Carter
           too
           ,
           carefully
           to
           rule
           his
           Stone-horses
           and
           Mares
           ,
           that
           no
           mischance
           may
           befal
           them
           .
           And
           ,
           though
           it
           is
           frequent
           to
           drive
           Horses
           at
           some
           particular
           times
           into
           green
           Meadows
           ,
           and
           pure
           Marsh-ground
           ,
           yet
           the
           Marsh-ground
           makes
           their
           hoofs
           and
           sight
           to
           grow
           tender
           ,
           and
           causes
           them
           to
           get
           water
           in
           their
           feet
           .
           Therefore
           I
           should
           think
           it
           would
           be
           better
           to
           let
           them
           feed
           upon
           the
           Mountains
           ,
           
           which
           are
           continually
           moist
           ,
           and
           not
           alwaies
           dry
           ;
           and
           such
           as
           are
           not
           woody
           places
           ,
           and
           are
           clear
           from
           stumps
           of

           .
           
           Upon
           which
           ground
           there
           grows
           rather
           fine
           and
           sweet
           ,
           than
           long

           But
           ,
           although
           the
           Mare

           not
           so
           stout
           and
           merry
           as
           the
           Stone-horse
           ,
           nevertheless
           ,
           she
           doth
           exceed
           him
           in
           running
           ,
           and
           holds
           it
           longer
           ,
           and
           is
           not

           For
           she
           doth
           not
           eat
           any
           good
           Hay

           being

           part
           contented
           with
           the

           all
           the

           'T
