Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

Certaine deuout and Godly Petitions, commonly called. Ieſus Pſalter.

IT is to vnderſtand, that ther be three maner of Pſalters.

The Fyrſte is called Dauids Pſalter, which conteineth thries Fifty Pſalmes. The ſeconde is called the Pſalter of our Ladie, conteining thryes Fyfty Aues. The thyrd is called the Pſalter of Ieſu, or the inuocation of Ieſu, conteining xv. principal petitions, which x. times repeted, make alſo thryes Fyfty. In the whiche Pſalter and inuocation, is the glorious name of our Sauiour Ieſu called vpon iiij. C. and Fyfty times. whoſoeuer vſeth to ſay it, truſt they verily, that they ſhal finde therby ſpecial helpe to reſiſt tentation, and haue encreaſe of grace & vertue by the ſinguler helpe of Ieſu. Of this bleſſed name S. Peter in ye Actes of the Apoſtles ſayth: There is none other name vnder heauen giuen to men, in the which it behoueth vs to be ſaued.

And our Sauiour ſaith in the Goſpel of Saint Ihon, that we ſhoulde make our petitions in his name, whiche is the Mediatour of our ſaluation, whoſe glorious viſion and moſt amorous fruition in the celeſtial glorie ſhal be our perpetual ioye and incomprehenſible conſolation.

Here is to be noted (as it is ſaid before) that the xv. principal petitions muſt be ſaied eche one by themſelfe, ten times, like as they ſhal be ſette forth in this booke by ordre. And ye may ſaie them vpon your ten fingers, or vpon ten beades, or els reade them as they be writen, and it is good for them that can not reade, to learne theſe inuocations without boke.

Begynne your Pſalter with deuoute genuflexion, or at leaſtwiſe with inclinalion to Ieſu: & ſay thus, as foloweth.

Dominus noſter Ieſus Chriſtus humiliauit ſemetipſum pro nobis, factus obediens vſque ad mortē, mortem autem Crucis.

Pater noſter. Aue Maria. Credo.

Thus endeth this Pſalter.
An Admonition.

VNto ſuch, as haue none opportunitie to ſaie the whole Pſalter together, it is good that they faie the firſt v. petitions one daie, and the ſecond v. another day, and the laſt v. another day, & ſo in three dayes they ſhal ſay ye whole Pſalter. But els if they may haue cōuenient time, it is better to ſay the xv. principal petitions euery day, & ech of them x. times, with In nomine Ieſu, in ye beginning, Pater noſt. Aue Maria. & at euery fifth, like as it is writē in the boke, with Dominus noſter, Pater noſter. Aue Maria. Credo.

Here foloweth a holſome doctrine, howe to reſiſt & ouercome the ghoſtly tentations of the Fende.

DOctours do write, yt in ſpiritual tentations we ſhould behaue ouerſelfe other wyſe, than in carnal tentations. For carnal tentations we ought to reſiſt & wreſtle with them: but we may not do ſo in ſpiritual tentations. wyſely and diſcretely we muſt reſiſt them, but in no wiſe wreſtle with thē: as thus. when the enemie purteth a motiō of infidelitie, reaſon not with him: & likewyſe when he caſteth a ſuggeſtion of deſperation, ſtryue not with him, but vſe this medicine.

Suſpend your reaſon, reſtraine al your ſenſes, and plucke vp al your ſpirites: & as the motiō cometh, ſo let it paſſe, without ſirife. If it be only of the diſpoſition of our corrupt nature, this is ſufficient, if it be vſed. If it come of the enemie, he wil not leaue ſo, but he wil cleaue otherwyſe, & worke more trouble. Than after ye counſel of Doctours, vſe this remedie: Diſſunble, & ſhew yourſelf to ſet it at nought, though it be great: & lift vp your mynd to God, remembring his tendre mercie in the redemption of man, and how it is his ordinance, with ſuch tentations and paines to proue his ſeruantes, to whom be entendeth to giue the crowne of glorie. But if the enemie be fierce and wil not ceaſſe for this (as he is moſt ſubtill and crafty) thā meeke your ſolfe to God, & offre yourſelfe to fuffre for his loue (& for ye fruit of penance for your ſinnes) gladly & with thanks of heart, all paines, yt it ſhall pleaſe his grace to ſende you. And with that, call & crie with heart & worde on ye holy name of Ieſu x. times, or more or leſſe, as your deuotion ſerueth, with ſome holy & ſwete meditation of reuerence to the ſame, as God ſhal put in your minde. This vertue of mekenes, & confeſſion of the name of Ieſu in heart & worde, the enemie may not abide. For although for a time he wil pretende & ſemble, as though he were not abaſhed for that vertue & name, as the Serpent, of which Scripture ſaith, that for a time ſhe wil ſtoppe her eares, & yet by the worde of the enchanter in cōcluſion ſhe is ouercome & taken: ſo certanily ye enemie (ye holy name named) is ouercome, although he wil not be knowē, but ſōtime will make inſurrectiō more fiercely, after yt holy name ſpoken. Then ſtrongly purſewe him with the ſame, & with mekenes, & ye ſhal ſee, how he wil flee: to the great cō forte of all them, that abide as true ſeruantes perſeuerāt in this theyr proofe, to theyr great triumph, and vtter cōfuſion of the enemie. This hath ben proued by experience.

A Narration.

A certaine perſon there was, whiche by the ſpace of two yeares & more was troubled with ſuche motions oftētimes by water & by lande. He had motions to deſperation, & to ye moſt abhominable that may be, to deſtroy himſelfe both by water, & otherwyſe. And this ſaid perſō ceaſſed not, but called to God daily, to ſtrēgth him, euer cōfeſſing himſelfe his ſeruāt, & ye worſhipper of ye holy name of Ieſu, cōmitting himſelf only & wholy to the Paſſiō of Chriſt & mercy of God. And ſone after the ſaid time he had comfort, & was illumined or lightened in his ſoule, how to anſwere ye enemie: to his great cōforte, & to ye edifiyng of other, & yt was thus. It was giuen to him by a light, that when ſoeuer ſuche a motion came to his minde, he ſhould take ye motion for an occaſion of remēbrance to honour the Paſſiō of Chriſt, & his bleſſed Mother the glorions Virgin Marie.

And although that it came to his minde an hūdred times in ye daie, ſo oft to ſay: Adoramus te, Chriſte Ieſu: & to the Mother of mercy, Aue Maria. And thus ye perſon was cleane deliuered from his great tentation & trouble, to ye great encreaſe of hope in his ſoule, to ye vtter drtuig away of the enemie, & to ye glorie of God: to whom be al honour and praiſe, world without end, Amen.
