         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).

           (
           I
           pray
           )
           when
           did
           he
           begin

           was
           it

           But

           as
           Dr.
           Heylin
           well
           observes

             Bacon

             not

             old
             Law-maxime

             That
             the
             Crown
             takes
             away
             all
             defects

           Which
           ,
           it
           seems
           ,
           in
           the
           language
           of
           the
           Law
           ,
           was
           a
           Tantamount

           a
           Legitimation

           the
           Church

           the

           ever
           meant

           that
           that
           odd
           scrap
           of
           Law
           should
           be
           extended
           to
           Legitimate
           ,
           whom
           the
           Law
           had
           illigitimated
           ;
           which
           ,
           if
           so
           ,
           might
           as
           well
           have
           legitimated
           the
           Rebellion
           of
           
             Oliver
             Cromwel
          
           ,
           (
           had
           he
           clapt
           the
           Crown
           on
           his
           head

           )
           and
           made
           him
           a
           lawful
           King

           tho
           he
           had
           been
           a
           Bastard
           into
           the
           bargain
           .
           And
           now
           ,
           I
           think
           ,
           here
           is
           enough
           said
           of
           the
           fundamental
           and
           final
           Cause
           of
           the
           Church
           of
           
             England
             ,
             viz.
          
           The
           
           Pope's
           
             accustomed
             Rigour
          
           ,
           and
           the
           
             Queens
             legitimation
          
           .
           I
           will
           now
           proceed
           to
           consider
           the
           Embryo
           of
           this
           Church
           in
           the
           rest
           of
           her
           Causes

           Dr.
           Heylin
           ,
           and
           then
           I
           hope
           I
           shall
           have
           truly
           Represented
           her
           according
           to
           her
           best
           ,
           and
           most
           beloved
           Historian
           .
        
         
           I
           find
           no
           greater
           Enemies

           the
           fairest

           would
           have
           no
           Reformation
           stand
           good
           but
           his
           own
           ;
           and
           therefore
           reviles
           and
           flouts
           at

           as
           indeed
           they
           are
           no
           better
           ,
           nor
           his

           Who
           ever
           saw
           more
           bitter
           scolding

           than
           between
           the
           Lutherans
           ,

           so
           imagin'd
           ;
           and
           therefore
           the
           Presbyterians
           derive
           their
           
             Mission
             extraordinarily
          
           from
           God
           by
           the

           well
           knowing
           ,
           that
           it
           were
           impossible
           for
           them
           to
           derive
           it
           Ordinarily

           by
           succession

           the
           Church
           of

           So
           that
           't
           is
           a
           clear
           Case

           the

           Authority

           had
           lost
           their
           Mission
           .
           And
           Dr.
           Heylin
           pretends
           the
           like

           was
           but
           the

           of

           himself
           a

           Then
           the

           so
           many
           Doubts

           And
           of

           they
           could
           not
           be
           there
           until
           the
           Doubts
           were
           removed

           But
           either
           they
           were

           or
           they

           If

           more
           pleasantly
           ridiculous

           than
           to
           see
           the
           very
           men
           in
           question

           (
           that
           is

           of

             declared
             and
             enacted
             to

             and
             shall

             Arch-Bishops

           &c.
           
             rightly
             made

             consecrated

             the
             contrary
             notwithstanding
             .
          
           This
           is
           far
           worse
           ,
           than
           ask
           my
           Brother
           if
           I
           am
           a
           Thief
           .
           In
           fine
           ,
           it
           is
           so
           ridiculous
           ,
           that
           for
           soberness
           sake
           ,
           we
           will
           suppose
           ,
           that
           those
           pretended
           Bishops
           did
           not
           sit
           in
           that
           Parliament
           .
           Then
           was
           the
           Parliament
           but
           a
           pack
           of
           Laymen
           ;
           and
           what
           have
           such
           to
           do
           with
           enacting
           or
           declaring
           of
           Bishops
           ?
           Bishops
           derive
           their
           ordination
           and
           the
           power
           that
           follows
           it
           ,
           immediately
           from
           Christ
           himself
           by
           succession
           from
           the
           Apostles
           ,
           (
           as
           I
           said
           before
           )
           and
           not
           from
           King
           nor
           Queen
           ;
           It
           is
           a
           thing
           purely
           spiritual
           ,
           and
           therefore
           cannot
           fall
           under
           the
           cognizance
           of
           any
           Temporal
           Power
           :
           So
           that
           the
           pretended
           Bishops
           were
           no
           more
           Bishops
           for
           this
           Act
           of
           Parliament
           ,
           than
           they
           were
           before
           :
           For
           such
           a
           Parliament
           neither
           had
           power
           to
           enact
           them
           Bishops
           ,
           nor
           to
           declare
           them
           such
           ?
           so
           that
           all
           the
           former
           Doubts
           yet
           remain
           ,
           and
           reach
           our
           present
           pretended
           Bishops
           equally
           ,
           and
           as
           much
           ,
           as
           they
           did
           
           the
           former
           .
           But
           it
           is
           Sacriledge
           for
           any
           pretended
           Bishop
           to
           offer
           to
           administer
           the
           Sacraments
           ,
           and
           confer
           Orders
           ,
           when
           but
           one
           Doubt
           remains
           ,
           whether
           he
           be
           rightly
           in
           Orders
           himself
           ,
           or
           have
           Authority
           to
           do
           it
           ;
           Then
           greater
           is
           the
           Sacriledge
           ,
           when
           men
           offer
           to
           administer
           the
           Sacraments
           and
           confer
           Orders
           ,
           when
           so
           many
           Doubts
           remain
           whether
           they
           be
           in
           Orders
           ,
           or
           rightly
           authorized
           to
           do
           such
           Acts.
           
        
         
           And
           now
           to
           conclude
           ,
           how
           came
           Dr.
           Heylin
           so
           well
           acquainted
           with
           Bishop
           Bonner
           ,
           that
           he
           should
           know
           which
           were
           his
           chief
           Pleas
           ,
           or
           what
           he
           would
           chiefly
           have
           insisted
           upon
           ,
           had
           the
           
             weighty

           been
           suffered
           to

           come
           to
           a
           hearing
           ?
           Did
           he
           think
           the
           story
           of
           the
           Naggs-head
           less
           known
           to
           Bonner
           ,
           than
           it
           was
           to
           Neal
           and
           Saunders

           or

           any
           man
           in
           his
           wits

           were
           in
           earnest
           afraid
           the
           
             weighty
             matter
             might
             miscarry
             by
             a

             Iury
             ,
          
           either
           by
           Partiality
           or
           Insufficiency
           ?
           Was
           it
           impossible
           for
           the
           Queen
           and
           Church

           their
           own

           And
           could
           not

           them
           as
           far
           as
           they
           pleased

           A
           more
           necessary
           Policy

           when
           the
           
             weighty

           Certainly
           ,
           when
           this
           question
           was
           started

           that
           
             the
             Cause
             ,
             debated
             amongst
             the

             Serjeants
             Inn

             was
             finally
             put
             upon
             the
             Issue

             ordered
             to
             be
             committed
             to
             a
             Iury
             of
             the
             County
             of
             Surry
             ,
          
           it
           was
           necessary
           the
           world
           should
           be
           satisfied
           .
           But
           the
           Queen
           and
           Church
           did
           foresee
           ,
           either
           that
           such
           things
           would
           be
           brought
           upon
           the
           stage
           ,
           as
           would
           be
           very
           dishonourable
           to
           both
           ,
           or
           that
           the
           pretended
           Bishop
           Horn
           would
           be
           cast
           .
           And
           then
           whither
           would
           her
           Majesty
           have
           sent
           for
           Bishops
           to
           Consecrate
           her
           new
           Elects
           ?
           The
           Catholick
           Bishops
           would
           not
           do
           it
           ,
           and
           of
           that
           she
           had
           a
           Tryal
           in
           Kitchin
           .
           The
           Lutherans
           would
           not
           do
           it
           ;
           for
           Dr.
           Heylin
           tells
           us
           ,
           that
           they
           would
           not
           receive
           English
           fugitives
           in
           Queen
           Mary's
           time
           ,
           and
           that
           they
           called
           such
           as
           dyed
           here
           then
           ,
           the
           
             Devils
             Martyrs
          
           .
           So
           that
           the
           Church
           of
           England
           must
           e'en
           have
           been
           an
           Episcopal
           Church
           without
           Bishops
           .
           And
           that
           had
           not
           been
           more
           ridiculous
           than
           it
           was
           infamous
           ,
           and
           Scandalous
           to
           have
           declined
           the
           Tryal

           That
           my
           Reader
           may
           the
           better
           remember

           what
           has
           been
           said

           I
           thus
           in
           short

           Th●
           first
           beginning

           formed
           into
           a

           to
           Legitimate
           the

           when

           else
           could
           do
           it

           it
           was
           made
           and
           establisht
           a

           many

           For

           Thus
           is
           the
           pretended
           Church
           of

           truly
           represented
           throughout
           all
           her

           except
           her
           Material
           ones

           and
           those
           I
           omitted
           ,
           because
           she
           has
           none

           being
           only

           In
           the
           mean
           time
           I
           defy
           any

           late
           Dutchess

           Reason

             that
