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 DIALOGUE BETWEEN A Papiſt and a Quaker. QUAKER. MY Friend well met, I wonder where thou'ſt been What haſt thou flow'n for fear thou ſhouldſt Sure thy Religion en't ſo good as out be ſeen We fear no Magiſtrates, not higher Powers; The Light within us now ſo brightly ſhine, That now methinks thy Tapers much declines; Yea, Yea, my friend it is without all doubt, Our Light within, that puts your Tapers out! I find my Friend, that you have nor a Lay Man, That can compare with any yea and nay Man. PAPIST. Why do you tax me for forſaking thoſe? Who is they find me will my Corps diſpoſe, Firſt to the Gallows, thence unto the Gates, Where ſome of our Saints have had their Fates, There to be plac'd unto the view of ſuch, Who if there were a thouſand, would not grutch, But laughing ſay, here is the Corps of thoſe, That would our King moſt willingly depoſe; Forth from his Throne, and made it their Delight; To Rob poor Engliſh Proteſtants of Right. QUAKER. Why doſt thou think that we have no Deſign? To make our power full as great as thine! What though we do hold forth the Pope is naught, And that no Bulls nor Pardons can be bought, Youll find our Faith will prove to be as good As yours, who by the publick's underſtood; Before thoſe people Proteſtants we roar, And do exclaim, and ſay the Pope's a Whore Of Babylon, yet you ſhall find, That we are clearly of another mind. PAPIST. Well done my Friend, it is great Pollicy To cloak ſuch choiſe Deſigns by ſecreſy; You by pretended Zeal have ſuch a wile, That may poor ſimple Proteſtants beguile. They take you though you'r Wolves, to be but Sheep, And think by ſuch they may ſecurely ſleep; Not thinking ſuch poor Innocents can be, Such plotting, Firing, Blood ſuckers as we. When if they ſhould but ſearch, I fear they'd find, That ye are Wolves, for murdering Sheep deſign'd. QUAKER. I pray thee Friend, now do but mind the Light Which is within us, and doth ſhine ſo bright; It doth put out the Light of others Eyes, That they poor Souls, cant ſee their Enemies. They are deluded by our yea and nay, And think we always mean as we do lay; But they will find unto their Detriment, That we to ruine them are fully bent, And only cloak our great Deſigns by wiles, As Crafty Faulconers harmleſs bird, beguiles. PAPIST. I find my Brother, you as Guilty are, Of that which Proteſtants pretends a Snare; Laid by us only, whom I muſt confeſs, Were the contrivers of this wickedneſs; Whilſt ye aſſiſt us with this fine pretence, That ye are mirrours of all innocence, Which they believe, whil'ſt ye do lye perdue, Upon the Scout to hear what Plot is new; Which when ye ſecretly do underſtand, You will not fail to lend your helping hand. QUAKER. My Friend I tell thee for thy future good, I wonder much thou haſt not underſtood, With what obſcurity we do deſign, The ſimple Proteſtants to undermine; Surely my Friend thou haſt not quite forgot, How formerly we mannaged a Plot, We by pretended Innocenſe did cauſe, The overthrow both of our King and Laws. Yet ſtill we are thought to be innocents, Only we are condemn'd for Male-contents. PAPIST. If thus ye have by innocent diſguiſe, Made King and Kingdome, Laws and all a Prize; Or your Aſſiſtance we may make no doubt, For Treachery once harbour'd ne're will out, And if of ſubtle Plotters we grow ſcant, Wee'l ſearch amongſt ye to ſupply our want, But if we ſhould do ſo a pox upon't, The Pope will ſay 'tis Quakers that have don't; Then all our Works by him will be deſpis'd And we for Saints ſhall ne're be Cannoniz'd. QUAKER. Fear not my Friend, we'l Rob thee of thy due, But let us weigh what we intend to do; My Conſcience checks me with a thouſand ſtings, And ſays 'tis hainous for to murder Kings. Me thinks I hear the Bloud for Vengence cry, Of Charles the firſt, who innocent did dye. And ſhall we then embrew our hand again, In Royal Bloud, nay let King Charles remain To be our Guide, let him the Scepter ſway, And as he is Supream, let us obey. PAPIST. If once you talk of Conſcience I have done. For our Religion will allow of none; The Pope allows of it, and ſays 'tis juſt; We may contrive to pleaſe our carnal Luſt; And for Revenge we murder may commit, And vve do juſtly, vvhen vve practiſe it, Our Doctor ſays a Doſe of Royal Bloud, Againſt Diſtempers is exceeding good; Shall vve deſpiſe it then for this pretence, We are afraid of checks of Conſcience. QUAKER. Thou vile pretender to the Chriſtian-Faith, Mind vvhat the Spirit novv vvithin me ſaith; It tells thee thus, thou may'ſt-not hurt the King, Unleſs thou vvilt thy Soul to Ruine bring. Then offer not that Royal blood to touch, One drop of vvhich, vvill ſtain thy Soul ſo much. Think not of the allovvance of the Pope, For vvhich the Lavvs vvill nooſe thee in 〈◊〉 Rope; But rather think hovv thou thy mind may'ſt bring, To love and honour Charles our Gracious King. PAPIST. What fond deluſions vvorks vvithin thy Pate, Wilt thou to us novv prove a Reprobate, I thought you had been faithful in your vvays, But you delude us vvith your yeas and nays; Ne're more il'e truſt a Quaker for thy ſake, Thou to aſſiſt us once didſt undertake. But novv our Plot is Rotten at the Root, You cry your Conſcience vvould not let you do't, Hence Quaker hence, I have no more to lay. But this, I'le cautious be of Yea and Nay.
