Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors.
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).

you

your

Fearfulness

you

that

not
appear
;
but
remember
it
is
a
sign
you
cannot
defend
your
Errors

and
that
your
Innocency

not
Triumphant
,
as
G.

.
And

,
and
to

Acceptance
thereof
,
and
to
come
forth
on
the
Third
of

next
after
:
The
following
Certificates
may
fully
Evince
.
This
is
to
Certifie
,
That
on
or
about
the
28th
Day
of
the
Month
called
August
,
1698.
John
Meriton
and
Lau.
Park
came
,
with
F.
Bugg
,
accompanied
with
several
of
the
Inhabitants
of
West-Dereham
,
to
the
House
of
William
Phillips
(
Tho.
Becket's
Wife
being
there
)
and
did
leave
a
Printed
Charge
and
Challenge
(
with
F.
Bugg's
Name
thereto
)
against
the
People
called
Quakers
;
and
soon
after
,
upon
the
same
day
,
Samuel
Chicko
,
one
of
the
Inhabitants
of
West-Dereham
aforesaid
,
brought
a
Paper
in
Writing
to
the
said
Tho.
Becket's
Wife
,
wherein
was
Proposed
a
Meeting
to
be
upon
the
Third
of
October
next
following
,
in
West-Dereham
Church
,
and
that
they
would
be
Six
of
them
,
and
would
allow
us
the
like
Number
,
to
Debate
the
Matters
contained
in
the
said
Printed
Challenge
.
Witness
our
Hands
,
William
Phillips
,
Mary
Becket
.
This
is
to
Certifie
,
That
upon
or
about
the
30th
Day
of
the
Month
called
August
,
1698.
Hen.
Meriton
and
John
Meriton
came
,
with
F.
Bugg
,
to
the
House
of
John
Hubbard
,
in
Stoak
,
and
there
did
urge
again
the
said
Matter
,
of
a
Publick
Meeting
,
in
the
Presence
of
,
John
Hubbard
,
Daniel
Phillips
,
Edward
Plumstid
.
And
the
same
day
,
the
aforesaid
Priests
,
with
F.
Bugg
,
went
to
the
Crown-Inn
,
in
the
said
Town
of
Stoak
;
and
one
or
more
of
them
,
would
have
had
the
Inn-keeper
Post
up
the
said
Charge
and
Challenge
,
which
the
said
Inn-keeper
refused
to
do
:
This
he
affirmed
in
our
Presence
,
John
Gurney
,
Joseph
Hadduk
,
Gilbert
Lowe
.
By
all
which
it
manifestly
appears
,
that
the
said
Priests
,
with
F.
Bugg
,
were
the
Aggressors
,
and
Challengers
,
and
not
the
Quakers
.
Wherefore
let
all
Sober
and
Moderate
Persons
Judge
,
whether
we
could
do
any
less
,
than
Appear
and
Defend
Our Selves
,
against
their
false
Charge
;
considering
how
they
Dared
us
to
Come
forth
and
Charged
us
with
Fearfulness
and
Surprize
,
if
we
did
not
;
and
said
,
Let
it
be
a
Monument
of
your
Cowardise
and
Insincerity
for
ever
.
