         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
           amendment
           of
           life
           ,
           when
           Gods
           judgements
           are
           upon
           the
           earth

           they
           never
           will.
           And
           as
           the
           Prophet
           awakens
           all
           to
           repentance
           ,
           so
           he
           giveth
           the
           first
           on
           set

           that
           not
           without

           for
           as
           they
           had
           the
           chiefest
           hand
           in
           pulling
           downe
           Gods
           wrath
           and
           vengeance

           the
           whole
           land
           ,
           so
           there
           was
           good
           reason
           that
           they
           should
           be
           the
           forwardest
           in
           reversing
           that
           judgement
           that
           was
           out

           unfained
           repentance

           understand
           whom

           to
           be
           drunkards

           when

             Drinkers

           first
           of
           all
           then
           enquire
           who
           these
           wine-drinkers

           .
        
         
           Now

           and
           therefore
           he
           would
           have
           it
           given
           to
           them
           that

             It
             is
             not
             the
             use
             of
             wine
             ,
             but
             the
             abuse
             that
             is
             forbidden
             ,
          
           as
           Chrysostome
           observes
           :
           for
           there
           was
           drunkennesse
           before
           the
           vertue
           of
           the
           grape
           was
           knowne
           
           to
           Noah

           and
           surely
           ,
           if
           to
           drinke
           wine
           had
           been
           unlawfull
           ,
           our
           Saviour
           would
           never

           Feast
           ;
           especially
           ,
           he
           would
           never
           have
           instituted
           it
           as
           a
           memoriall
           of
           his
           Blood-shedding
           :
           So
           that
           the
           Prophet
           doth
           not
           mean
           to
           call
           them
           drunkards
           ,
           or
           drinkers
           of

           of
           all
           the

           a
           man

           Secondly
           ,
           as
           in
           sleep
           we
           have
           no
           use
           of

           no

           overtaken

           this
           vice

           when
           men

           saith
           the
           Philosopher
           )
           they
           differ
           little
           from
           beasts
           ;
           and
           the
           reason
           is
           ,
           because
           the
           use
           of
           reason
           is
           suspended

           the
           sensitive
           creatures
           ,
           but
           rather
           to

           Thus
           we
           have
           heard
           that
           Drunkennesse
           casts
           men
           into
           a
           sleep
           ,
           which
           takes
           away
           all
           use
           of
           sense

           But
           is
           there
           no
           meanes
           to
           awaken
           men
           out
           of
           this
           sleep
           ?
           Yes
           ,
           Gods
           Minister
           must
           call
           upon
           them
           .
           The
           Prophet
           methinkes
           here
           lifts
           up
           his
           voice
           like
           a
           trumpet
           ,
           and
           labours
           to
           rouze
           them
           ;
           and
           our
           tongues
           must
           cleave
           to
           the
           roofe
           of
           our
           mouthes
           before
           we
           leave
           calling
           upon
           them
           .
           It
           is
           sure
           that
           this
           sleep
           is
           so
           pleasant
           to
           them
           ,
           that
           they
           are
           loath
           to
           be
           
           hindred
           of
           it
           ;
           they
           cry
           ,
           
             A
             little
             more
             sleep
             ,
             and
             a
             little
             more
             slumber
             ,
          
           and
           willingly
           they
           would
           not
           be
           disturbed
           ;
           as
           we
           reade
           of
           the
           Sybarites
           ,
           that
           they
           killed
           all
           their
           cocks
           ,
           least
           by
           their
           crowing
           they
           should
           be
           awakened
           .
           But
           the
           Prophet
           calls
           upon
           them
           to
           awaken
           :
           And
           what
           is
           it
           to
           awaken
           ?
           It
           is
           a
           metaphor
           taken
           from
           the
           body
           ,
           and
           translated
           to
           the
           soule
           ;
           that
           look
           as
           men
           when
           they
           awake
           out
           of
           bodily
           sleep
           ,
           they
           are
           not
           the
           same
           men
           that
           they
           were
           before
           ,
           having
           the
           use
           of
           all
           the
           powers
           of
           soule
           and
           body
           ;

           It

           a
           rule

           Secondly

           If

           of
           this

           I

           saith
           the
           wiseman
           ;
           it
           is
           dangerous
           being
           with
           them

           least
           by

           Thus
           through
           Gods
           grace

           our

           we
           may
           keep
           our selves
           awake
           .
        
         
           This
           is
           not
           all
           that
           the
           Prophet
           requires
           of
           drinkers
           of
           wine
           ;
           as
           they

             awake
             ,
          
           so
           also
           
           
             weep
             and
             howle
             ;
          
           not
           onely
           
             weep
             ,
          
           but
           
             howle
          
           also
           ;
           
           which
           setteth
           forth
           unto
           us
           the
           greatnes
           of
           the
           humiliation
           which
           is
           required
           of
           all
           those
           that
           are
           guilty
           of
           this
           vice
           ;
           their
           mourning
           must
           be
           like
           the
           lamentation
           of
           Hadadrimmon
           in
           the
           valley
           of
           Megiddon
           ,
           or
           like
           the
           mourning
           of
           parents
           for
           their
           onely
           sonne
           .
           But
           these
           men
           cannot
           endure
           to
           heare
           of
           any
           sorrow
           at
           all
           ,
           much
           lesse
           of
           so
           great
           lamentation
           :
           If
           the
           Prophet
           had
           called
           them
           to
           mirth
           and
           jollity
           ,
           they
           would
           willingly
           have
           hearkened
           ;
           but
           the
           voice
           of
           sorrow
           is
           alwaies
           unpleasing
           to
           their
           cares
           .
           But
           yet
           we
           see
           the
           holy
           Ghost
           writes
           bitter
           things
           against
           them
           ,
           and
           would
           have
           them
           turne
           their
           
             laughter
          
           into
           
             mourning
             ,
          
           and
           their
           
             joy
          
           into
           
             heavinesse
             .
          
           And
           good
           reason
           why
           these
           men
           should
           weep
           and
           mourn
           ,
           if
           they
           consider
           either
           the
           nature
           of
           the
           vice
           whereof
           they
           are
           guilty
           ,
           or
           the
           labyrinth
           of
           woe
           and
           misery
           that
           they
           plunge
           themselves
           into
           .
        
         
           1.
           
           If
           they
           consider
           the
           uglines
           of
           the
           vice
           which
           they
           have
           committed
           ;
           which
           is
           so
           beastly
           ,
           so
           abominable
           ,
           that
           if
           a
           man
           had
           a
           fountaine
           of
           teares
           he
           might
           shed
           them
           all
           for
           this
           .
           This
           is
           that
           which
           raseth
           the

           out

           transformeth
           us
           into
           the
           image
           of
           bruite
           beasts
           ;
           this
           is
           the
           fountaine
           of
           all
           vice
           ,
           the
           fewell
           of
           lust
           ,
           the
           mother
           of
           whoredoms
           ,

           all
           manner
           of

           .
           It
           were
           easy
           ,
           long
           to
           declaime
           against

           and
           to
           shew
           the
           cursed
           effects
           thereof
           out
           of

           Fathers

           yea
           out
           of
           the
           Heathen
           themselves
           ,
           who

           I

           these
           men
           that
           they
           might
           dye
           like
           beasts
           ,
           as
           they
           live
           ;
           but
           they
           must
           know
           that
           they
           must
           come
           to
           judgement
           ,
           and
           receive
           the
           fruit
           of
           their
           wickednesse
           :
           for
           
             he
             that
             soweth
             to
             the
             flesh
             ,
          
           
           
             shall
             of
             the
             flesh
             reape
             destruction
             .
             Know
             ye
             not
             ,
          
           saith
           Saint
           Paul
           ,
           
             that
             the
             unrighteous
             shall
             not
             inherit
             the
             kingdome
             of
             God
             ?
             Be
             not
             deceived
             ;
             neither
             fornicators
             ,
             nor
             Idolaters
             ,
             nor
             drunkards
             shall
             inherit
             the
             kingdome
             of
             God
             ;
          
           no
           ,
           but
           rather
           must
           be
           cast
           out
           into
           that
           lake
           which
           burneth
           with
           fire
           and
           brimstone
           ,
           where
           is
           weeping
           and
           howling
           and
           gnashing
           of
           teeth
           for
           ever
           .
           How
           much
           better
           is
           it
           then
           to
           weep
           now
           for
           a
           moment
           ,
           then
           to
           incurre
           eternall
           lamentation
           for
           the
           neglect
           thereof
           ?
           Let
           them
           then
           that
           are
           mighty
           to
           poure
           in
           strong
           drinke
           ,
           poure
           out
           strong
           lamentations
           for
           the
           misery
           that
           shall
           come
           upon
           them
           ,
           if
           they
           doe
           not
           prevent
           the
           same
           by
           speedy
           and
           unfained
           repentance
           .
           But
           some
           there
           are
           that
           in
           stead
           of
           mourning
           for
           this
           vice
           ,
           make
           a
           sport
           of
           it
           ,
           and
           count
           it
           but
           a
           trick
           of
           good
           fellowship
           ,
           
           and
           so
           like
           the
           Leviathan
           they
           can
           laugh
           at
           the
           glittering
           sword
           and
           speare
           ,
           when
           it
           is
           ready
           to
           pierce
           them
           through
           .
           I
           know
           
             there
             is
             a
             time
             to
             laugh
             ,
             and
             a
             time
             to
             mourne
             ;
          
           but
           wee
           can
           finde
           no
           time
           to
           lament
           this
           sinne
           ,
           which
           hath
           kindled
           Gods
           wrath
           against
           his
           people
           .
           Many
           sinnes
           cry
           aloud
           against
           us
           for
           vengeance
           ,
           but
           none
           pierce
           the
           heavens
           more
           then
           this
           beastly
           ,
           though
           common
           sinne
           of
           drunkennesse
           ;
           and
           yet
           it
           is
           to
           be
           feared
           ,
           that
           not
           many
           mourners
           are
           to
           be
           found
           for
           this
           vice
           :
           If
           the
           Angell
           of
           the
           Lord
           should
           runne

           all
           those
           that
           mourne
           for
           this
           ,
           how
           many
           of
           us
           would
           he
           passe
           by
           ,
           who
           will
           not
           let
           fall
           a

           the
           indignation
           of
           God
           ,
           which
           is
           most
           justly
           kindled
           against
           us
           for
           this
           and
           other
           abominations
           !
           May
           not
           the
           Lord
           complaine
           of
           us
           as
           he
           did
           of
           his
           people
           the
           Iewes
           ,
           that
           he
           
             called
             them
             to
             weeping
             and
             mourning

             joy
             and
             gladnes

             Timothies
             cup
          
           onely
           ,
           but
           in
           
             Belshazzars
             bowles
          
           also
           ?
           The
           Prophet
           Amos
           saw
           to
           his
           griefe
           ,
           that
           in
           his
           time
           they
           dranke
           wine
           in
           bowles
           ,
           and
           forgate
           the
           afflictions
           of
           Ioseph
           :
           it
           were
           to
           be
           desired
           that
           we
           could
           not
           see
           the
           same
           in
           these
           times
           ,
           wherein
           the
           Church
           hangs
           her
           Harps
           upon
           the
           willowes
           ,
           while
           she
           sits
           by
           the
           waters
           of
           Babylon
           .
           But
           methinks
           I
           heare
           
           some
           confesse
           that
           indeed
           they
           are
           sometimes
           overtaken
           with
           this
           vice
           ,
           but
           they
           are
           sorry
           for
           it
           .
           If
           it
           be
           so
           ,
           it
           will
           easily
           appeare
           by
           their
           amendment
           of
           life
           :
           For
           sorrow
           begetteth
           hatred
           ,
           and
           hatred
           begetteth
           a
           sequestration
           from
           it
           ;
           so
           that
           I
           may
           say
           to
           such
           ,
           as
           Saint
           Paul

           the

           another
           case

             If
             they
             have
             sorrowed
             after
             a
