         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).

           In
           the
           first
           place
           ,
           I
           take
           notice
           of
           the
           News
           you
           sent
           me
           ,
           whereby
           I
           find
           some
           Persons
           have
           had
           so
           little
           Wit
           ,
           and
           so
           much
           Malice
           ,
           as
           to
           report
           my
           Death
           ,
           and
           to
           mend
           the
           matter
           ,
           
             dead
             a
             Jesuit
             too
          
           .
           One
           might
           have
           reasonably
           hop'd
           ,
           that
           this
           Distance
           ,
           like
           Death
           ,
           would
           have
           been
           a
           protection
           against
           Spite
           and
           Envy
           ;
           and
           indeed
           ,
           Absence
           being
           a
           kind
           of
           Death
           ,
           ought
           alike
           to
           secure
           the
           Name
           of
           the
           Absent
           as
           the
           Dead
           ;
           because
           they
           are
           equally
           unable
           as
           such
           to
           defend
           themselves

           But
           they
           that
           intend
           Mischief
           ,
           do
           not
           use

             good
             Rules
          
           to
           effect
           it
           .
           However
           ,
           to
           the
           great
           Sorrow
           and
           Shame
           of
           the
           Inventors
           ,
           I
           am
           still
           Alive
           ,
           and
           
             No
             Jesuit
          
           ,
           and
           I
           thank
           God
           ,
           
             very
             well
          
           :
           And
           without
           Injustice
           to
           the
           Authors
           of
           this
           ,
           I
           may
           venture
           to
           infer
           ,
           That
           they
           that
           wilfully
           and
           falsly
           Report
           ,
           would
           have
           been
           glad
           it
           had
           been
           So.
           But
           I
           perceive
           ,
           many
           frivolous
           and
           
             Idle
             Stories
          
           have
           been
           Invented
           since
           my
           Departure
           from
           England
           ,
           which
           perhaps
           at
           this
           time
           are
           no
           more
           Alive
           ,
           than
           I

           Dead

           But
           if
           I
           have
           been
           Vnkindly

           left
           behind

           ,
           I
           found
           Love
           and
           Respect
           enough
           where
           I

           generally
           good

           hardly
           credible

           We
           have
           also
           
             Mineral
             Waters

           that
           operate

           IV.
           For

           we
           had
           
             sharp
             Frosty
             Weather

           cold

           The
           reason
           of
           this
           Cold
           is
           given
           from
           the
           great
           Lakes
           that
           are

           The
           Winter
           before
           was
           as
           mild
           ,
           scarce
           any
           Ice
           at
           all

           while
           this
           for
           a
           
             few

           great
           River
           Delaware

           From
           that
           Moneth
           to
           the
           Moneth

           June

           we
           enjoy'd
           a
           
             sweet
             Spring

           no
           Gusts

           but
           
             gentle
             Showers
          
           ,
           and
           a
           fine
           Skie
           .
           Yet
           this
           I
           observe
           ,
           that
           the
           Winds
           here

           Inconstant
           Spring

           turn

           From
           thence

           commonly
           speaking
           )
           we
           have
           had
           
             extraordinary
             Heats
