         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.
             A

             belonging
             to
             the
             great
             Shepherd
             ,
             I
             was
             put
             upon
             a
             supplicating
             Inquiry
             ,
             how
             long
             the
             Time
             of
             this
             Cloudy
             day
             might
             last
             ?
             And
             it
             was
             Ecchoed
             in
             me
             :
             turn
             thine
             Eye
             into
             that
             Central
             light
             ,
             which
             may
             make
             some
             discovery
             ;
             by
             which
             the
             Redemption
             shall
             appear

             Then
             suddenly
             there
             descended

             Internal
             seeing

             from
             an

             lofty
             Sphear

             Diaphanous

             so
             great
             and
             large
             as
             to

             round
             about
             it
             were
             numberless
             little
             Hills
             ,
             of
             a
             dark
             Opacous
             substance

             (
             Lo
             )
             there
             was
             a
             great
             Shaking
             and
             Trembling

             as
             if
             they
             were
             to

             moved
             out

             II.
             Then
             of
             a
             sudden
             came
             a
             Flaming
             Blast
             out
             of
             this
             lofty
             Mountain
             ,
             which
             enkindled
             some
             of
             these
             Hills
             ,
             and
             from
             them
             ran
             circling
             about
             the
             rest
             ,
             Which
             made
             a
             great
             crackling
             noise
             among
             them
             :
             Then
             there
             was
             a
             Voice
             heard
             as
             out
             of
             the
             Mountain
             :
             
               Thus
               a
               Consumption
               is
               determinated
               upon
               the
               dark
               and
               dead
               Mold
               .
            
             Then
             were
             they
             changed
             into
             a
             pure
             white
             Earth

             And
             after
             this
             ,
             did
             the
             Glorified
             Iesus
             stand
             upon
             the

             with
             innumerable
             Attendants
             ,
             and
             uttered
             a
             mighty
             Voice
             of
             Thunder
             ,
             saying
             :
             
               Come
               ,
               behold
               and
               see
               ,
               and
               rejoice
               ,
               O
               ye
               Heavens

               in
               what
               I
               am

             Then
             immediately
             did
             there
             spring
             up

             several
             
             rays
             of

             I
             was
             still
             considering
             of
             this
             great
             Revolution
             how
             it
             should
             be
             brought
             about
             ;
             there
             was
             a
             Lamp
             descended
             from
             the
             seven
             Lamps
             before
             the
             Throne
             ,
             and
             put
             into
             the
             Hand
             of
             a
             certain
             Person
             ,
             which
             did
             at
             first
             sight
             burn
             but
             dimly
             .
             Then
             came
             the
             Angel
             of
             the
             Love
             ,
             that
             poured
             in
             a
             Golden
             Oyl
             ,
             that
             sent
             forth
             a
             mighty
             strong
             Odour
             ,
             which
             immediately
             made
             the
             Lamp
             burn
             with
             such
             a
             Blaze
             ,
             dropping
             Flakes
             of
             Light
             into
             the
             Oyl
             ,
             that
             caused
             many
             more
             Lamps
             to
             spring
             ;
             which
             made
             a
             good
             part
             of
             the

             Then
             was
             it
             said
             to
             me

             Foundation
             shall
             be
             laid
             ,
             for
             the
             bright
             Sun
             of
             Righteousness
             to

             and
             shine
             forth

             shall
             not
             want
             to
             be

             more
             radiant

             this
             Ioyful
             Sound

             which
             many
             in
             former
             Ages

             For
             know
             there
             is
             a
             new
             time
             approaching
             ,
             such
             as
             never
             was
             :
             for
             
             the
             Kingdom
             and
             Dominion
             of

             in

             Authority

             yet
             had
             any

             the
             Earth

             nor
             could
             indeed
             ,
             because
             this
             long
             Life
             and
             Age
             was
             not
             yet
             to
             be
             .
             For
             by
             this
             length
             of
             Days
             there
             will
             be
             time
             given
             for
             the
             finishing
             Transgression
             and
             Sin
             ,
             and
             bringing
             in
             that
             perfection
             of
             Righteousness
             that
             shall
             have
             no
             end
             .
             As
             there
             was
             folly
             in
             not
             improving
             that
             long
             State
             of
             Life
             by
             those
             before
             the
             Flood
             ,
             for
             which
             end
             God
             allow'd
             it
             them
             ,
             to
             try
             if
             they
             would
             recover
             their
             Angelical
             and
             Paradisical
             State
             ,
             and
             remove
             the
             Curse
             from
             the
             Earth
             ,
             for
             which
             end
             his
             Spirit
             did
             strive
             with
             them
             ,
             which
             being
             resisted
             ,
             God
             shortned
             their
             Days
             ;
             So
             now
             the
             eternal
             Wisdom
             of
             God
             provokes
             for
             the
             recovery
             of
             that
             lapsed
             Age
             again
             ,
             that
             a
             second

             last
             Age
             of
             the

             Now
             it
             is
             already
             so
             far
             made
             manifest
             ,
             that
             whereas
             the
             confusion
             of
             Languages
             was
             a
             great
             Iudgment
             and
             Witness
             of
             God's
             displeasure
             against
             that
             Age
             of
             Time.
             So
             that
             it
             caused
             a
             scattering
             and
             loss
             of

             About
             which
             I
             had
             some
             inquiry
             in
             the
             Spirit

             what
             means
             the
             Unity
             of
             Speech
             might
             be
             opned

             Christ
             Reigns
             personally
             ,
             so
             it

             that
             are

             thus
             it
             is
             expedient

             that

             While

             there

             Now

             State.
             An
             Election
             has
             been
             hereunto
             from
             the

             Council
             in

             bear
             up
             the
             Mountain
             of
             Holiness

             But
             let
             it
             be
             known
             that

             Degrees

             There
             will

             several
             Signs

             The

             for
             this

             to
             draw

             So
             that

             will
             be
             some
             Bright
             Stars
             that
             will
             rise

             and
             go
             forth
             as
             Lightning
             upon
             the
             Earth

             the
             Heart
             ;
             As
             Peter
             perceived
             the
             perverse
             design
             of
             Ananias
             and
             Sapphira
             ,
             the
             Spirit
             of
             God
             within
             him
             opening
             it
             unto
             him
             .
             And
             so
             in
             the
             same
             manner
             will
             these
             things
             be
             made
             manifest
             again

             For
             as
             the
             World
             in
             Age
             grows
             old
             ,
             so
             the
             Mystery
             of
             iniquity
             will
             wax
             greater
             ,
             by
             putting
             on
             and
             Counterfeiting
             the
             very
             Robe
             of
             Christ's
             Innocency
             and
             Truth
             :
             and
             also
             by
             a
             breaking

             of
             the
             dark
             Magick

             as
             the

             of
             Miraculous
             Working
             is
             coming
             forth
             .
             Therefore
             the
             Tri
             une
             Council
             in
             Heaven
             foreseeing
             this
             will
             raise
             up
             such

             shall
             be
             of

             what

             questioned
             and
             invalued
             .
             Therefore
             the
             Lord
             will
             see
             it

             and
             next
             for

             Powerfulness
             ,
             to
             do
             and
             act
             in
             such
             a
             manner
             as
             none
             of
             the
             false
             Magicians

             be

             Thus
             the
             Lord
             will

             with
             my
             Lord

             the

             The
             Root
             hereof
             was
             fixed

             twofold
             Soil

             bearing
             no
             Fruit.
             In
             the
             other
             part
             one

             heavy

             because

             Crystalline
             Earth

             which
             caused
             a

             And
             there
             was

             plenteously
