         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).

           her
           Distemper

           a
           great
           height
           of

           her
           Pain
           and
           Exercise
           was
           great

           yet

           proceeded
           from

           wherefore
           her
           Father
           asked
           her
           ,
           
             If

           Her
           answer
           was
           ,
           
             She
             could
             and
             did
          
           ;
           and
           further
           said
           ,
           
             It
             was
             her
             Belief
             ,
             that
             the

             Earth

             he
             would
             keep
             her
             and
             preserve
             her
             Soul

             whatever
             might
             become

             Body
          
           ;
           and
           often
           she
           sweetly
           supplicated
           the
           Lord
           for
           his
           Assistance

           Help

           Name

           And
           thus
           she
           continued
           in
           exceeding
           great
           Pain
           and
           Exercise
           ,
           yet
           very
           patient

           it
           ,
           and
           sensible

           till
           about
           the

           not
           having
           slept
           above
           a
           quarter

           several
           days
           of
           her
           Sickness
           so
           that
           through
           want
           of
           Sleep
           ,
           and
           the

           Distemper
           ,
           her
           head
           grew
           light
           ,
           and
           she
           was
           at
           several
           times
           not
           so
           sensible
           in
           her
           Expressions
           ,
           yet
           very
           Harmless
           and
           Innocent
           ;
           for

           still
           retained
           so
           much
           sense
           as
           to

             That

           thus
           she
           lay
           till
           about
           the

           only
           weakened

           spent
           very
           much
           ;

           a
           sudden
           (
           as

           whereupon
           we
           lifted

           her

           her
           voice
           was
           so
           low

             Farewell

           then
           looking
           round

           signifying
           thereby
           that

           continued
           a
           pretty
           time

           in
           a
           great
           measure

           the
           sense

           sorrow
           for

           her
           to
           perfect
           sense

           have
           the

           In
           the
           end
           of

           Melodious
           Sounding
           ,
           which
           continued
           near
           
           half
           an
           hour

           she
           seemed
           to
           faint
           ;
           so
           that
           we
           supposed

           presently
           depart

           yet

           an
           Hour
           longer

           sharp
           Pangs

           but
           in
           the
           end
           finished
           very
           sweetly

           and
           our
           Spirits
           were
           sensible
           of
           her
           Ascending
           into
           endless
           Glory
           ;
           and
           there
           she
           rests
           with
           God
           the
           Father
           of
           Spirits
           in
           Joy
           Everlasting

           Evil
           to

           Sorrow
           and
