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).

AN ELEGIE UPON DR THO. FULLER That moſt Incomparable Writer, Who Deceaſed Auguſt the 15th. M. DC. LXI. ROom for a Saint, ſet open Heavens Gate, Here comes the AUTHOR of the Holy State. See with what Train and Troops he now aſcends Of Bleſt acquaintance, and Coeleſtial Friends! Bleſt Ones, he comes to make your number more, His Life did much, his Death improves your ſtore; Such modeſt merit crowds not for a ſeat, Bliſs covets to be FƲLLER and compleat. A Cherubs wing hath ſoar'd him to this Hight, And Heaven is now in ſtead of Piſgah Sight: His Holy War but now is finiſhed, When the reward of Glory crowns his Head. Each Tract (like Jacob's Ladder) ſtill did riſe, Directed Souls, and fixt them in the Skies: There are his Books tranſcribed and compriz'd Within the Book of Life Epitomiz'd: And if th' Herculean Labours found a place Aſſign'd in Heaven by the Gods, then Grace So well employ'd and exerciſed here Will ſhine far brighter in its Glories ſphere. The kinder Parcae yet forbore the Thred Of that Invincible; till Vice was dead, And he had quell'd the Monſters, and ſuppreſt All growing Ills, and ſet the World at reſt: But this our Hercules was ſnatcht from hence I th' middle of his An excellent Piece in folio now in the Preſs. Work, while in defence Of ſqualid Vertue through Injurious Age Gainſt monſtrous Antiques he a War did wage; Broke off its Adamantine bonds of Sleep, The Duſty Marbles could their gueſts not keep: Had rouz'd our World again, and Truth appears Like Stoln Goods, by jarring of the years. Prodigious Luxury of Cruel Death To ſtifle Thouſands through His loſs of Breath! Who ſhal redeem our The Worthies general of England is the Title of the ſaid Book. WORTHIES from the grave When he is gone who them alone could ſave? Oft have we ſtrain'd Caligula's wiſh, to make Death odious for ſome great and good mans ſake But here how truly ſad it fits our Turn Where Fate is multiply'd in FƲLLER's Urn. Take then the Triumphs of his Noble Pen To tell the World the Learned'ſt are but Men; And that the reſcue of their worth from Time Death in his Fate hath made acap'tal crime. But know Illuſtrious Soul that we do ſee Thoſe higher Reaſons which tranſported thee From the black Art of Dark Antiquity To th' Speculation of Eternity: Let the Beatitudes there fill thy Mind While we'r content with what thou leav'ſt behind; And if forgetful be, or ſparing Fame, Thy ART of MEMORY ſhall preſerve thy Name. Sic moeret JAMES HEATH.
