Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors.
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).

Dr.
PETER's
Judgment
,
OF
Dullidge
or
Lewisham
Water
.
THIS
Water
was
taken
notice
of
about
the
Year
1648
and
a
certain
Person
would
have
Monopolized
it
,
by
Bui●ding
and
Inclosing
it
;
and
thereupon
it
was
observed
that
it
lost
it's
Taste
,
it
's
Odour
,
and
Effe●ts
,
and
People
left
off
Drinking
it
:
Sometime
●●●er
it
was
observed
to
return
to
it's
Primitive
Goodness
,
and
bestowed
upon
the
Poor
,
and
it
hath
held
it's
Virtue
ever
since
,
this
is
the
Traditional
Account
.
I
judge
this
Water
principally
to
consist
of
Nitrous
Salt
,
Allom
,
and
some
Sulphur
.
It
Purges
strongly
,
sometimes
causes
to
Vomit
,
sometimes
▪
but
seldom
by
Sweat
;
sometimes
by
all
three
ways
of
Evacuation
,
the
Property
of
it's
being
to
vary
〈◊〉
it
's
Operation
,
according
to
the
matter
it
meets
●ith
in
Peoples
Bodies
.
It
's
Vertues
.
IT
opens
all
Obstructions
within
,
what
ever
latter
,
especially
those
of
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
Mese●●ick
,
Veins
,
Pancreas
,
the
Billiary
,
Vterine
and
Vrmary
Passages
,
by
which
means
such
long
lingring
and
almost
Incurable
Disterupers
are
bred
as
the
Sch●rrhuo
,
Tepatick
,
Lienis
,
the
hard
Tumours
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
,
the
Flatus
Hypocondriacks
,
the
black
and
yellow
Jaundice
,
the
Cholick
,
the
Stone
,
the
Gravel
in
the
Kidneys
and
Bladder
,
all
Obstructions
,
Difficulties
and
Sharpness
of
Urine
,
the
Haemorrhoi●es
,
Cholick
Passion
,
Tenas●●…
Cachexia
,
Scurvy
,
Dropsie
,
Green-sickness
,
Stopness
of
Terms
,
Fits
of
the
Mother
,
and
many
such
●ad
Distempers
,
whereof
my
Author
says
he
hath
seen
the
Effects
;
and
the
reason
he
says
why
it
should
be
so
excellent
for
the
Curing
the
above
named
Distempers
,
〈◊〉
from
the
cleansing
and
attenuating
Quality
of
the
Nitrous
Salt
,
from
the
Astringent
and
Cooling
Faculty
of
the
Allom
,
and
from
the
healing
Property
of
the
Sulphur
.
It
Fecundates
the
Womb
beyond
any
other
,
and
seems
an
Universal
Remedy
against
Barranness
,
it
Extinguishes
Inflammations
,
it
sweetens
sharp
Humours
,
is
good
for
Salt
Distillations
,
helps
admirably
scal●ing
●rines
,
and
is
approved
by
most
very
Beneficial
for
t●e
●unning
of
the
Reins
,
and
for
other
Diseases
that
are
like
to
these
,
it
's
an
absolute
Remedy
for
the
Gout
,
if
little
assisted
by
Art
,
Excellent
against
all
sorts
of
Worms
in
the
Body
.
This
Water
strengthens
the
Brain
and
Nerves
,
prevents
or
cures
the
Apoplexy
,
Falling
Sickness
,
P●lsie
,
Dizziness
,
Head-ach
,
and
such
like
Symptoms
,
it
strengthens
the
Stomach
,
causeth
good
Digestion
,
consumes
Crudities
,
it
makes
gros●
and
fat
Bodies
lean
,
and
the
lean
fleshy
;
in
a
word
,
this
Water
will
Effect
whatsoever
by
any
Intention
in
a
Medicinal
way
is
to
he
perform'd
by
opening
Obstructions
,
evacuating
superfluous
Humours
,
allaying
Vapours
,
cleansing
the
Blood
,
and
strengthen
all
the
parts
of
the
Body
.
This
Water
outwardly
used
,
is
good
for
most
cutaneous
Distempers
,
as
Leprosie
,
Itch
,
Scabs
,
Pimples
,
Ring-worms
,
Scurvy
,
&c.
It
dissolves
Tumours
,
and
cureth
old
Ulcers
,
if
the
Part
afflicted
be
well
or
bathed
therewith
;
and
I
am
perswaded
,
it
being
used
by
way
of
a
warm
Bath
,
it
would
be
of
great
Efficacy
to
consume
Hyduropical
Tumours
,
to
Ease
or
Cure
the
Gout
,
and
Rheumatick
Dolours
,
and
far
more
Effec●●al
also
in
the
abovesaid
Cutaneous
Distempers
.
The
Time
of
Drinking
it
.
●S
either
Winter
or
Summer
as
Occasions
requires
;
〈◊〉
but
in
general
when
th●
Weather
is
clean
dry
it
's
best
,
as
well
in
Winter
as
Summer
,
and
in
Frosty
Weather
the
Water
is
strongest
.
In
Summer
drink
it
betwixt
Sun
rising
and
'till
It
's
an
hour
high
,
or
thereabouts
;
then
you
will
have
it
in
it's
full
Strength
,
and
take
it
but
once
a
Day
,
and
in
my
Opinion
,
it
's
much
better
drank
warm
than
cold
;
to
drink
Water
cold
Hypocrates
says
is
hurtful
to
the
Bones
,
Teeth
,
Sinews
,
Brain
,
and
Marrow
of
the
Back
,
&c.
but
warm
is
good
and
profitable
.
In
short
,
I
take
it
in
all
Cases
satest
to
take
it
warm
,
tho'
Strong
Constitutions
may
questionless
receive
it
cold
with
great
Benefit
,
but
weak
Constitutions
do
better
to
take
it
warm
,
so
it
be
done
with
as
little
loss
of
the
Spirits
as
may
be
.
In
some
Cases
you
may
make
Posset
Drink
of
it
with
Milk
;
in
Cases
where
it
's
not
safe
to
drink
it
cold
,
you
may
put
a
quarter
of
a
Pint
of
scalding
or
boiling
hot
Milk
into
three
Pints
of
Water
,
whereby
it
will
become
of
a
convenient
warmth
to
be
drank
,
and
so
you
may
proportion
the
Milk
to
what
quantity
of
Water
you
please
;
but
I
instance
in
the
quantity
,
because
for
a
Body
of
middle
Age
and
compleat
Strength
,
I
hold
it
a
fit
proportion
to
begin
with
,
and
so
increasing
every
day
gradually
,
'till
he
rises
to
8
or
9
Pints
,
more
or
less
,
as
he
shall
be
able
to
bear
it
;
and
so
again
decrease
by
degrees
,
as
suppose
you
design
to
allot
20
Days
to
drink
the
Water
,
and
the
first
day
you
begin
with
3
Pints
,
then
I
would
have
you
add
half
a
Pint
a
day
more
for
the
next
six
days
,
three
quarters
of
a
Pint
for
the
eighth
day
,
and
almost
a
Pint
for
the
ninth
day
,
and
a
whole
Pint
for
the
tenth
day
;
which
being
your
greatest
Rise
,
will
amount
to
eight
Pints
and
a
half
,
and
so
for
the
rem●●●ing
ten
days
daily
drink
the
Proportions
backw●rd
:
As
what
quantity
you
drank
the
tenth
day
,
you
are
to
drink
the
eleventh
,
and
what
proportion
you
drank
the
ninth
,
you
are
to
take
the
twelfth
,
&c
which
brings
you
to
the
same
proportion
for
the
twentieth
and
last
day
,
with
which
you
began
the
first
day
;
but
the
just
quantity
to
be
taken
at
one
time
cannot
possibly
be
ascertain'd
,
in
regard
of
Age
,
Sex
,
Strength
,
and
other
Circumstances
,
yet
general
they
have
the
most
Benefit
by
it
that
can
drink
the
most
,
and
thorowly
concoct
it
.
Drink
not
the
Water
too
fast
,
but
allot
a
short
time
,
which
will
prevent
Griping
,
cold
Sweats
,
Giddiness
in
the
Head
,
and
the
like
;
take
at
first
about
a
third
part
of
what
quantity
you
design
,
and
then
walk
half
and
hour
,
then
take
another
third
part
,
and
Ezercise
half
an
hour
more
;
and
then
the
last
or
remaining
part
,
and
walk
'till
all
be
past
out
of
the
Body
,
or
'till
Dinner
time
;
walk
moderately
,
but
not
so
as
to
Sweat
;
but
let
not
your
Exercise
be
violent
,
and
Sleep
not
'till
your
Water
is
wrought
off
;
stand
not
still
in
the
Sun
,
nor
sit
on
the
cold
Ground
,
which
are
hurtful
;
you
may
eat
a
few
Caraway-Comfits
,
Coriander
Seeds
,
Elicanpane
,
or
Angelica
preserved
,
&c.
to
help
the
Digestion
of
the
Water
;
above
all
be
temperate
in
your
Diet
;
eat
Beef
,
Mutton
,
Veal
,
Lamb
,
Chickens
,
Pullets
,
Turkys
,
Partridge
,
Pheasant
,
Conies
,
&c.
forbear
all
Salt
Meats
,
Ducks
,
Geese
▪
Bacon
,
Tripe
,
all
Salt-fish
,
Eels
,
old
Cheese
,
Leeks
,
Onions
Cabbage
,
Muskmelons
,
Cucumbers
,
&c.
are
to
be
avoided
;
also
Apples
,
Pears
,
Plumbs
,
Cherries
ripe
Goose-berries
Rasberries
,
&c.
are
all
agreeable
,
if
sparingly
eat
,
and
that
a
little
before
Night
,
and
then
they
help
to
temper
the
Blood.
At
Supper
,
for
Drink
,
Beer
,
Ale
,
or
Wine
may
be
moderately
drank
;
let
Supper
be
larger
than
Dinner
,
and
6
or
7
Hours
after
it
.
After
the
end
of
the
Waters
,
use
a
spare
Diet
for
a
Month
or
two
,
which
will
prevent
and
keep
out
all
Crudities
.
