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).

Come ye Bleſſed, &c. Goe ye Curſed, &c. OR, A Diall of Direction to Doomes-day: denoting by the Seauen deadly Sins, ſeauen dangerous ſteps deſcendant to deſtruction; and by their contrary oppoſite vertues, the Seauenfold ladder aſcending to euerlaſting Felicitie.

Humilitie. MElt throbbing Soule into a flood of teares, And humbly hang thy vowes at Heauens eares; Thy God will heare, without an angry frowne, And raiſe thee vp, as he hath caſt thee downe. Rip vp thy breaſt with ſighes, breake heart in twaine, Hee'le make amends, and ſalue it vp againe. True, true indeed; for he that Heauen will win, Muſt be both new without, and new within. Loue. LOue is the life of Vertue, and the fire Which kindles motion in a good deſire; Shee is the Queene, whom here portrayd you ſee, Dandling her pretty Infants on her knee: Now what relation they haue to the Mother, The ſame wee haue compar'd with one another: If thus wee loue, at length the God aboue, Will guide our feete into the place of Loue. Patien •… . WHy ſhould I ſeeke reuenge, I'le rather die, Then haue my handes diſtaind with crueltie; Rather then burniſh in mine owne defence, Let me bee blam'd for ſheepiſh innocence: In hope thus meane I to continue ſtill, And wiſh their good, that ſhall deſire my ill; For well I know, Forgiue, and bee Forgiuen, Is one ſure path, will leade vs vnto Heaven. Labour. THe portion •• his ſonnes was ſweate, And through their Labour to procure their meate; Fye then on thoſe, that fooliſhly repine, To ſee vs worke, before we ſeeke to dine: Wee ſtand not idle, like a lumpe of lead, But plow, and ſow, and ſo we get our bread. For true it is, when God ſhall ſee it beſt, Wee ſhall be brought vnto the place of reſt. Liberalitie. COme, come, you hungry ſoules, take what you lack Foode for your belly, rayment for your backe, Refreſh your ſelues with that which God hath ſent vs, For what wee haue, wee muſt confeſſe is lent vs: To bee employd on you, and take't as free, As ever at the firſt it came to mee. And doe ſo ſtill, though the world ne're regard thee, There's one aboue that ſees, and will reward thee. Temperance. IT is a noble thing, and worthy man, To ſlacke his power of doing what he can; This is true Temperance, to ſee and taſt Gods creatures, neuer ſpending them in waſt; This is the Balſame for the Soule and brayne, To reade, and drinke, and then to reade againe. No man can finde the way to Heauen reeling, It's ſtraight, and low, and onely got by kneeling Chaſtitie. ONe ſpotleſſe couple with your tender young, Fayre like the ſtock, from whence at firſt they ſprong; Hie to the Temple, great Iehovahs place, There you may looke vpon him face to face; There you may reade, and heare, and pray, and ſing, And warble out the prayſes of your King. For he that beares vnto this Church a loue, Shall bee a member of the Church aboue. Pride. FAire, bright-celeſtiall Angel-like Face Adding a luſter to the looking-glaſſe; Would Venus were aliue, that I might prove How farre I went beyond the Queene of Loue; My Peacock-painted lockes affirme the ſame, Brighter then hers to whom Leander ſwame. But ſtay, lockes ſhead, and Peacockes looſe their feather, Your Beauty, and your Glaſſe, may breake together. Enuie. O How my ſoule's tormented when I ſee, Honours attend on others, and flye mee! I could ee'ne teare away my ſnakie twine, For anger that thoſe fortunes were not mine; Well ſo bee it, thriue on; I muſt and will Spit my contagious envie at you ſtill. Hell's hard at hand, peace; for a time thou'lt ſee, Thouſands ſhall pitty, but none enuie thee. Wrath. CAn fleſh and blood endure it? ſurely no, I'le make you rue your faults or e're you go; Your lift-vp hands, and teares can doe no good, Nought ſhall appeaſe my fury, but your blood: I'le carue yee vp yee Scoundrels ioynt by ioynt, And toſſe your limbes vpon my daggers poynt. Yet bee aduis'd, and learne this leſſon well, The blood of man will be reueng'd in hell. Sloath RAther then worke wee'le ſtarue; now we are borne We muſt be kept, though we be kept in ſcorne; Let thinges goe how they will, what neede we care? Sleeping, and feeding in the open ayre: It is a bliſſe, what neede our wiſhes clime Farther than onely to the preſent tyme? Yet there's a world behind, and worth the thinking, Which will not be obtain'd by Sloath and drinking. Couetouſneſſe. COme let vs hugge ſweete ſoule, yee heapes of wonder, Wee'le rather fry in hell, than part aſunder: O glorious mettall! fayre beyond the Sunne! That ſetts, but thou reflect'ſt when day is done; Long mayſt thou fire my coffers, and bee bright, To keepe thy maſter from eternall night. But let me tell you this; Bills, Bondes, and Leaſes, Will ner'e aſſure you of the place where peace is. Drunkenneſſe. SIt cloſe good fellowes, tumble downe the liquor, It makes the witt, and vnderſtanding quicker, 'Tis the directeſt phyſicke for the braine, To ſit, and drinke, and piſſe it out againe: Fill me a boule of Nectar, I'le beginne A health to him, that will this honour winne. And drinke thy fill, a time will come e're long, Thou ſhalt not haue a drop to coole thy tongue. Lecherie. QVickly let's ſnatch the pleaſures of the bed, Embrace, and kiſſe, and cull a mayden-head; A fire runnes through my vaines, like Aetna hot, Yet what it meetes I'm ſure it ſcorches not, Trye firſt and truſt; two is a number, one Muſt liue, and lye, and die, and all alone. Why ſo? t'is better goe to Heauen ſingle, Then with the helliſh multitude to mingle.
