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.

A liuing remembrance of Maſter Robert Rogers, Marchant aduenturer & Leatherſeller of London deceaſed, who declared the fruites of his faith, by his moſt chriſtian & charitable workes. And left this life at his houſe in Baſſings-hill the 22. of September. And was buried in Chriſt-church on Thurſday the 1. of October. 1601. WHen bad men dye, the memorie remaines Of their corruptions and vngodly wayes, As merit to their miſapplyed paines, Out of ill actions, forming as ill praiſe. for vertue wounded by their deepe diſgrace, Leaues ſhame to their poſteritie and race. When good men dye, the memorie remaines, Of their true vertues, and moſt chriſtian wayes: As a due guerdon to their godly paines, Out of good actions, forming as good praiſe. for vertue cheriſh'd by their deedes of grace, Leaues fame to their poſteritie and race. Among thoſe good (if goodnes may be ſaid, To be among the ſeede of mortall men: In vpright ballaunce of true merit wayed) This worthy Batcheler eſteeme we then. In whome, as in a mirrour doth appeare, That faith and workes did ſhine in him moſt cleere. Now let vs not, as is our common vſe, Meaſure him by a many other more: In death, to couer their lifes bad abuſe, That then flyes out ſome bounty of their ſtore, No Rogers was none ſuch, as may appeare, By theſe true witneſſes annexed heere. Firſt, as God bleſt him with aboundant wealth, Like to a carefull Steward he imployde it: Squaring his guifts out in his beſt of health, As glad to leaue it, as when he inioyde it. Himſelfe prepared euery houre to die: And all in order pointed chriſtianly. In ſundry callings and vocations, Where he could heare of them were rightly poore: As men decayed by their occupations, Yet held by ſhame from begging at the doore, Such ſuccourd he, as knowing that their need, Stopt vp their mouthes, though made their hearts to bleede. What ſhould I ſay? to what poore wanting heart, Was he not liberall in the largeſt kinde? Such as were hopefull, and had any parte Of chriſtian zeale, felt freely his good minde. Preachers, poore handy-crafts, and pariſhes: From Rogers purſe haue liberall Legacies. In Abrahams boſome ſleepes he with the bleſt, His workes do follow him, his worth ſuruiues: The Angels guide him to eternall reſt, Where is no date of time, for yeares or liues. You that are rich, doe you as he hath done: and ſo aſſure the Crowne that Chriſt hath wonne.
