         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).

           To
           whom
           I
           may
           answer
           ,
           
           that

           they
           find
           not

           yet

           And
           thus
           much
           by
           the
           way

           for
           consuming
           &
           deturbing
           of
           crudities
           and
           windinesse
           ,
           that
           shall
           offend
           in
           those
           parts
           .
           But
           I
           aduise
           ,
           that
           the
           fume
           be
           sodainly
           taken
           downe
           ,
           and
           then
           neither
           ,
           but
           some
           great
           necessitie
           or
           extremitie
           vrging
           it
           ,
           both
           because
           it
           offendeth
           the
           bodie
           with
           its
           violent
           operation
           ,
           and
           also
           for
           that
           it
           may
           ,
           by
           reason
           of
           its
           exiccating
           nature
           ,
           be
           very
           hurtfull
           
           to
           the
           lungs
           ,
           liuer
           ,
           and
           melt
           ,
           as
           I
           will
           by
           and
           by
           shew
           .
           Wherefore
           my
           counsell
           is
           ,
           that
           some
           safer
           remedy
           (
           if
           time
           shal
           permit
           )
           be
           vsed
           for
           consuming
           and
           deturbing
           of
           the
           flatulent
           crudities
           of
           the
           stomacke
           and
           bowells
           .
        
         
           Whosoeuer
           therefore
           thou
           be
           that
           desirest
           to
           know
           whether
           the
           fume
           of
           Tobacco
           may
           be
           profitable
           or
           hurtfull
           to
           thy
           body
           ;
           thou
           oughtest
           first
           to
           consider
           ,
           whether
           it
           be
           convenient
           for
           thy
           head
           :
           for
           if
           thy
           braine
           be
           ouer
           cold
           and
           moist
           ,
           or
           abound
           with
           superfluous
           matter
           ,
           then
           the
           detaining
           of

           and
           forcing

           out
           at
           the
           nostrills
           ,
           may
           be
           profitable
           vnto
           thee
           :
           for
           by
           this
           meanes
           the
           fume
           ascending
           to
           the

           doth
           not

           attracting
           and
           exiccating
           facultie
           euacuate
           and
           consume
           the
           superfluities
           in
           it
           ,
           but
           also
           ,
           in
           some
           measure
           ,
           reduceth
           the
           same

           But
           heere
           by
           the
           way
           it
           is
           to
           be
           noted
           ,
           
           that
           it
           may
           sometimes
           happen
           ,
           that
           some
           may
           haue
           their
           heads
           accidentally
           stuffed
           with
           rheumatike
           matter
           ,
           although

           Wherfore
           I
           aduuise

           which
           in

           you

           But
           by
