         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).

           hath
           thus
           begun
           with
           this
           command
           of
           Christ
           ,
           
             Swear
             not
             at
             all
             ,
          
           which
           he
           would
           make
           of
           none
           effect
           by
           his
           tradition
           .
        
         
           Now
           seeing
           the
           Scripture
           saith
           ,
           
             He
             that
             breaketh
             the
             least
             commandment
             ,
             and
             teach
             men
             so
             ,
             he
             shall
             be
             least
          
           (
           or
           not
           at
           all
           )
           
             in
             the
             Kingdom
             of
             God
             ;
          
           therefore
           all
           such
           are
           to
           be
           denyed
           ,
           who
           make
           a
           
             trade
             of
             preaching
             ,
          
           and
           when
           their
           Doctrines
           come
           to
           be
           tryed
           ,
           they
           are
           found
           to
           be
           but
           the
           
             Ministers
             of
             sin
             ,
          
           and
           to
           live
           by
           the
           sins
           of
           the
           people
           ;
           so
           that
           all
           people
           may
           consider
           and
           take
           notice
           ,
           whether
           this
           be
           a
           sufficient
           ground
           or
           plea
           ,
           either
           for
           preaching
           up
           ,
           or
           believing
           swearing
           to
           be
           lawful
           ,
           because
           thereby
           they
           may
           be
           freed
           from
           persecution
           ;
           which
           is
           the
           greatest
           hypocrisie
           that
           can
           be
           either
           preached
           or
           practised
           by
           those
           that
           profess
           to
           be
           religious
           .
           But
           the
           day
           is
           come
           which

           sort
           it

           ,
           that
           the

           folly
           may

           the
