         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).

           very
           natural

           this
           Enchiridion

           cast
           it self

           feet
           and
           beg
           your
           Protection
           ,
           which
           tho

           but
           mean
           ,
           and
           seemingly
           below
           your
           Lordship's
           Grandeur
           to
           Patronize

           yet
           being
           the
           best
           way

           can

           my self
           able

           my
           Gratitude

           THE
           Usesulness
           of
           Short-hand
           is
           so
           generally
           known
           ,
           and
           readily
           apprehended
           ,
           that
           it
           is
           needless
           for
           me
           to
           say
           any
           thing
           in
           its
           Commendation
           ,
           and
           therefore
           I
           shall
           here
           only
           give
           an
           Answer
           to
           an
           Objection
           some
           make
           against
           it
           ,
           and
           an
           account
           of
           this
           present
           Essay
           .
        
         
           Object
           .
           It
           teaches
           to
           spell
           false
           .
        
         
           Answ.
           They
           will
           scarcely
           be
           capable
           to
           learn
           this
           Art
           ,
           that
           are
           not
           before-hand
           able
           to
           read
           and
           write
           ,
           and
           consequently
           so
           acquainted
           with
           the
           Rules
           of
           spelling
           true
           ,
           that
           they
           will
           be
           in
           no
           hazard
           of
           learning
           to
           spell
           false
           .
        
         
           I
           desire
           such
           also
           to
           consider
           that
           there
           is
           a
           great
           difference
           betwixt
           spelling
           false
           and
           short
           ;
           for
           in
           this
           Art
           we
           acknowledg
           that
           the
           leaving
           out
           of
           superfluous
           Letters
           is
           injoyn'd
           ,
           but
           will
           not
           so
           readily
           grant
           that
           therefore
           we
           teach
           to
           spell
           false
           .
           Some
           able
           Criticks
           in
           our
           Language
           do
           wish
           that
           this
           Method
           were
           more
           in
           Practice
           ;
           for
           as
           it
           is
           no
           Perfection
           in
           any
           Language
           to
           have
           more
           Letters
           in
           its
           Words
           than
           are
           sufficient
           to
           sound
           it
           ,
           it
           can
           be
           no
           injury
           to
           it
           to
           have
           what
           is
           unnecessary
           expunged
           ;
           and
           surely
           if
           this
           course
           were
           taken
           it
           would
           make
           our
           Language
           more
           easie
           to
           our
           own
           Youth
           to
           read
           ,
           and
           to
           Foreigners
           both
           to
           read
           and
           speak
           .
           These
           Considerations
           have
           prevail'd
           with
           the
           French
           of
           late
           to
           leave
           
           out
           a
           great
           many
           of
           such
           Letters
           as
           they
           do
           not
           pronounce
           ;
           and
           since
           we
           Apify
           them
           in
           many
           worse
           things
           ,
           it
           will
           be
           no
           great
           Crime
           to
           do
           it
           a
           little
           in
           this
           .
        
         
           In
           the
           next
           place
           ,
           I
           desire
           such
           Objectors
           to
           consider
           ,
           that
           we
           do
           not
           teach
           them
           to
           write
           the
           same
           way
           in
           Long-hand
           that
           they
           do
           in
           Short
           ,
           but
           make
           the
           difference
           between
           the
           two
           plainly
           appear
           ,
           and
           consequently
           teach
           true
           spelling
           in
           
             their
             Sense
          
           over
           again
           ,
           for
           the
           Examples
           are
           first
           given
           as
           they
           should
           be
           in
           Long-hand
           ,
           and
           then
           as
           they
           should
           be
           in
           Short-hand
           .
        
         
           But
           some
           will
           still
           object
           and
           say
           ,
           that
           by
           writing
           Short-hand
           they
           will
           get
           a
           habit
           of
           spelling

           Answ.
           They
           may
           with
           as
           much
           Reason
           argue
           against

           Latin

           to
           make
           such
           Objections

           an

           Being
           very
           desirous
           to
           learn
           Short-hand
           ,
           I
           perused
           all
           the
           Authors
           I
           could
           meet
           with
           for
           that
           end
           ,
           but
           missing
           that
           Satisfaction
           I
           expected
           in
           them
           ,
           I
           set
           about
           this

           In
           prosecution
           of
           which
           I
           discovered
           several
           considerable
           things
           (
           not

           which
           
           after
           several
           Years
           Practice

           Experience
           of
           their
           Usefulness

           now

           Alphabet
           ,
           in
           composing
           whereof
           I

           be
           joyned
           together
           ,
           which
           several

           have
           discouraged
           their

             it
             being
             very
             burdensome

             the
             Memory

             I
