         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).

           they

           you

           I
           am
           almost
           ashamed
           to
           tell
           you
           ;
           not
           that
           we
           have
           been
           ever
           sickly
           ,
           but
           by
           Melancholy
           often
           supposed
           our selves
           to
           bave
           such
           diseases
           as
           we
           had
           not
           ,
           and
           learned
           Physitians
           were
           too
           wise
           to
           put
           us
           out
           of
           that
           humour
           ,
           and
           so
           these
           tearms
           cost
           us
           much
           more
           then
           they
           are
           Worth
           ,
           and
           I
           hope
           there
           is
           no
           body
           so

           our
           bargain

           neither
           truly
           do
           I
           repent
           my
           bargain
           ,
           since
           Physitians
           are
           the
           most
           rational
           men

           and
           my
           worthy
           and
           very
           good
           friends

           and
           truly
           this
           Lady
           never
           converst
           with
           
           any
           Physitian
           of
           any
           disease
           ,
           but
           what
           she
           thought
           she
           had
           her self
           ,
           neither
           hath
           she
           converst
           with
           many
           of
           that
           profession
           .
           Now
           for
           the
           great
           learning
           of

           of
           Geometricians
           ,
           when
           this

           I
           will
           not
           dissect
           these
           great
           mysteries
           ,
           because
           they
           are
           so
           very
           common
           ,
           as
           the

           Carpenters

           therefore
           surely
           this
           Lady
           is
           capable
           of

           When

           they

           no
           such
           subtilties
           ,
           since

           ,
           it
           is
           so
           ridiculous
           then
           to
           think
           that
           this
           Lady
           cannot
           understand

           as
           it
           is
           rather
           to
           be
           laught
           at
           ,
           then

           ones
           self
           to
           answer
           .
           And
           that
           invincible
           Problem

           the

           they
           call
           it
           ,
           which
           makes
           me
           doubt
           that
           they
           think
           themselves
           wiser

           for

           the
           case

           were
           done

           what
           then
           ?
           why
           then

           all

           nothing

           much
           ado
           about
           nothing

           But
           we
           will
           leave
           these

           I

           Why
           then
           all
           these
           are
           new

           some

           they

           what
           then
           ?
           I
           hope
           a

           one
           nor
           the
           other

           either
           the
           new
           or
           the
           old
           ,
           for
           what
           is
           most
           reason
           &
           reasonable
           ;
           for
           in
           natural
           Philosophy
           ,
           one
           opinion
           may
           be
           as
           true
           as
           another
           ,
           since
           no
           body
           knows
           the
           first
           cause
           in
           nature
           of
           any
           thing
           .
           Then
           this
           Ladies
           Philosophy
           is
           excellent

           thought
           so
           hereafter
           ,
           and
           the
           truth
           is
           that

           Truly
           I
           cannot
           beleeve
           so
           unworthily
           of
           any
           Scholer

           honouring

           so
           much
           as
           we
           both
           do
           ,
           that
           they
           should
           envie
           this
           Lady
           ,
           or
           should
           have
           so
           much
           malice
           or
           emulation
           ,
           to
           cast
           such
           false
           aspersions
           on
           her
           ,
           that
           she
           did
           not
           write
           those
           Books
           that
           go
           forth
           in
           her
           name

           they
           will
           hardly
           finde
           out
           who
           else
           writ
           them

           and
           I
           protest
           none
           ever
           writ
           them
           but
           her self
           ;
           You
           should
           rather
           incourage
           her
           ,
           then
           by
           false
           suppositions
           to
           let
           her
           see
           the
           world
           is
           so
           ill
           natured

           as
           to
           beleeve
           falshoods
           before
           truths
           .
           But
           here
           's
           the
           crime
           ,
           a
           Lady
           writes
           them
           ,
           and
           to
           intrench
           so
           much
           upon
           the
           male
           prerogative
           ,
           is
           not
           to
           be
           forgiven

           I
           know
           Gown-men
           will
           be
           more
           civil
           to
           her
           ,
           because
           she
           is
           of
           the
           Gown
           too
           ,
           and
           therefore
           I
           am
           confident
           you
           will
           defend
           her
           and
           truth
           ,
           and
           thus
           be
           undeceived

           I
           had
           not
           troubled

           the

           no

           David

           thus
           we
           may
           observe
           that
           nature
           is
           Prevalent

           qualities

           And
           since
           nature
           is
           so
           generous
           to
           distribute
           to
           those
           that
           fortune
           hath
           cast

           and
           education
           hath
           neglected

           why
           should
           my
           readers
           mistrust
           nature
           should
           be
           sparing
           to
           me
           ,
           who
           have

           which
           relation
           to
           my
           conceit
           I
           see
           it
           in
           my
           brain

           if
           the
           battle

           pitcht

           and
           fought
           there

           my

           build
           discourse

           formed
           and
           composed
           ,
           I
           conceive
           it
           as
           perfectly
           to
           my
           understanding
           as
           if
           I
           had
           seen
           it
           dissected
           although
           I
           never
           did
           and
           therefore
           may
           be
           deceived
           in
           my
           understanding

           for
           truly
           I
           have
           gathered
           more
           by
           piece-meals

           then

           a

           but
           my
           fancy
           will
           build
           thereupon
           ,
           and
           make
           discourse
           therefrom
           ,
           and
           so
           of

           they
           discourse
           of

           I
           say
           they

           For
           the
           singularity
           of
           my
           affections

           from
           strangers

           for
           I
           am
           the
           worst
           repeater
           of
           a

           the
           World

           friends

           my

           forget
           any
           thing
           they

           such
           deep
           impressions
           their
           words
           print
           in
           my
           brain

           when
           I
           cannot
           remember
           one

           holy
           sermons

           save
           my

           but
           as
           I
           have
           said
           from
           a
           bare
           relation

           I

           every
           particular
           part
           ,
           and
           passage
           ,
           as
           if
           I
           were
           a
           witnesse
           thereof
           ,
           or
           an
           actor
           therein
           ;
           but
           many
           things
           ,
           although
           I
           should
           never
           have
           heard
           of
           any
           such
           thing
           ,
           yet
           my
           natural
           reason
           will
           guide
           and
           discover
           to
           me
           ,
           the
           right
           and
           the
           truth
           .
        
         
           For
           put
           the
           case
           I
           see
           a
           watch
           ,
           or
           any
           other
           invention
           ,
           and
           none
           should
           tell
           me
           how
           it
           was
           made
           ,
           yet
           my
           natural
           reason
           would
           conceive
           how
           it
           was
           made

           so
           in
           natural
           things
           my
           natural
           reason
           will
           conceive
           them
           without
           being
           any
           wayes
           instructed
           ;
           and
           so
           working
           a
           brain
           I
           have
           that
           many
           times
           on
           small
           objects
           or
           subjects
           will
           raise
           up
           many
           several
           phancies
           ,
           and
           opinions
           therein
           ,
           from
           which
           my
           discourse
           betwixt
           reason
           and
           those
           opinions
           will
           be
           produced
           ;
           but
           the
           truth
           is
           ,
           I
           have
           more
           materials
           to
           build
           with
           ,
           then
           ground
           to
           build
           on
           ,
           wherby
           they
           become
           uselesse
           ,
           but
           I
           beleeve
           time
           will
           moulder
           them
           to
           dust
           ,
           or
           accidents
           ,
           as
           sicknesse
           may
           destroy
           them
           ,
           as
           dropsies
           may
           drown
           them

           fevers
           may
           burn
           them

           consumptions
           may
           waste
           them
           ,
           or
           griefs
           may

           throw
           it
           out
           of
           my
           head

           but
           as
           yet
           my
           head
           is
           fully
           populated

           and
           so
           many
           phancies
           are
           therein

           as
           sometimes
           they
           lie
           like
           a
           swarm
           of
           bees
           in

           and
           sometimes
           they
           flie
           abroad
           to
           gather
           honey

           from
           his
           wise
           judgement

           they
           work
           into
           a

           But
           those
           that
           make
           these
           and
           the
           like
           idle
           objections

           ,
           which
           is
           most

           would
           not

           troubled

           satisfie
           this
           present
           age
           which
           is
           very
           censorious
           ;
           but
           fear
           the
           future
           age
           wherein
           I
           hope
           to
           live
           ,
           may
           be
           deceived
           ,
           and
           I
           by
           false
           constructions
           wronged
           ;
           for
           I
           have
           observed
           that
           the
           ignorant

           and
           obstruct

           honourable
           fames

           Readers
           I
           had
           forgotten
           to
           mention
           the
           objection
           ,
           that
           there

           Philosopher
           ,
           if

           yet
           not

           much

           to
           increase
           my

           although
           more
           then
           was
           advantagious
           for
           my
           health

           indeed
           I
           have
           been
           the

           besides
           wise
           learned

           it
           a

           to
           ignorant

           and
           many
           learned

           most
           commonly

           children
           nonsense

           no

           as
           they
           move
           ,
           as
           onely
           by
           fleeing
           about

           which
           me
           thinks
           should
           make
           such
           uncertainties

           such
           disproportioned
           figures

           such
           wandring
           and
           confused

           this
           opinion

           is
           ,
           if
           the
           infinite
           ,
           and
           eternal
           matter
           are
           atoms
           ,
           but
           I
           have
           considered
           that
           if
           the
           onely
           matter
           were
           atoms
           ,
           and
           that
           every
           atome
           is
           of
           the
           same
           degree
           ,
           and
           the
           same
           quantity
           ,
           as
           well
           as
           of
           the
           same
           matter
           ;
           then
           every
           atom
           must
           be
           of
           a
           living
           substance
           ,
           that
           is

           for
           else
           they
           could
           not
           move
           ,
           but
           would
           be
           an
           infinite
           dull
           and
           immoving
           body

           for
           figures
           cannot
           make
           motion

           unlesse
           motion
           be
           in
           the
           matter
           ,
           and
           it
           cannot
           be
           a
           motion
           that
           sets
           them
           at
           work
           without
           substance
           ,
           for
           motion
           cannot
           be
           without

           or
           produced
           therefrom
           ,
           and
           if
           motion
           proceeds
           from
           substance
           ,
           that
           substance
           is
           moving
           innately

           but
           if
           motion
           is
           nothing

           gods

           and
           our

           opinions
           of

           so
           clear
           to
           my

           my

           new

           the

           the
           onely

           and
           infinite
           matter

           and
           conclude
           in
           the
           last
           which
           is

           But
           I
           desire
           my
           noble

           so
           much
           patience

           or
           be
           so
           just
           to

           to
           observe

           that

           my
           application
           old

           for
           what
           is
           older

           Yet

           ancient
           Philosophers
           have
           preached
           after
           my
           way

           wherefore
           most
           industrious
           and
           ingenious
           students

           dispisement
           of
           my

           for

           some

           Wherefore
           it
           were
           unjust

           condemn
           the

               sense
               of
               the
               minde
               ceast

               which
               is
               Thinking

               but
               the

               makes
               the
               thoughts

               Thus
               the
               minde
               may
               be

               thoughts
               cannot

               the
               minde

               yet
               thoughts
               go
               out
               of
               the
               minde
               very
               oft
               ,
               that
               is
               ,
               such
               a
               motion
               to
               such
               a
               thing
               is
               ceast
               ;
               and
               when
               that
               motion
               is
               made

               returns

               Thus
               thinking
               is
               the
               minde

               Thinking

             MAny
             perchance
             will
             laugh
             in
             scorn
             at
             my
             opinion
             ,
             and
             ask
             what
             reason
             I
             have
             to
             think
             those
             things
             I
             have
             described
             should
             be
             made
             with
             such
             a
             kinde
             of
             Motion
             ,
             my
             answer
             is
             ,
             that
             I
             guess
             by
             the
             forms
             ,
             I
             mean
             the
             figures
             ,
             or
             shapes
             ,
             what
             the
             motion
             may
             be
             to
             produce
             them
             ;
             for
             I
             see
             the
             figure
             of
             a
             four
             leg'd
             Creature
             hath
             other
             motions
             then
             two
             legged
             Creatures
             ,
             or
             then
             those
             Creatures
             that
             have
             no
             legs
             ;
             and
             I
             see
             some
             shape
             Creatures
             that
             can
             flee
             ,
             by
             reason
             of
             their
             figures
             ,
             which
             is
             made
             proper
             to
             produce
             that
             kinde
             of
             motion
             ;
             for
             those
             that
             are
             not
             made
             so
             ,
             cannot
             do
             so
             .
             By
             this
             I
             think
             it
             probable
             that
             Internal
             motions
             ,
             are
             after
             the
             manner
             of
             External
             motions
             ;
             for
             we
             may
             guess
             at
             the
             cause
             by
             the
             effects
             ,
             so
             by
             the
             figures
             of

             like
             ,
             we
             may
             guesse
             at
             other
             Internal
             ,
             or
             external
             motions
             ,
             that
             produced
             their
             External
             figures
             ,
             or
             alterations
             ,
             and
             by
             the
             effects
             of
             light
             ,

             manner
             of
             motions
             produced
             them
             ;
             wherefore
             I
             know
             no
             reason
             why
             any

             the

             I
             may
             answer

             that
             there
             is
             no

             if

             Thirdly

             that
             it

             by
             reason
             it
             is
             obscure
             and
             hid
             from

             I
             answer

             that
             it
             is
             impossible
             that
             nature

             perfectly
             understand
             ,
             and
             absolutly
             know
             her self
             ,
             because
             she

             infinite

             much

             any

             her
             .
          
           
             Yet
             it
             doth
             not
             follow
             ,
             that
             nothing
             can

             there
             are

             discovered
             ,
             yet
             it

             yet
             most
             think
             that
             the
             whole

             found

             because
             Drake
             ,
             and
             Cavendish
             went
             in

             circular
             line
             until

             they

             And
             I
             am
             most
             confident
             that
             most
             of
             all
             thought

             the
