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).

Recipe.

HAlfe a dozen Turks with Turbants on their heads, and Cimitars by their ſides, all well purg'd of droſs and impurities by Moonlight; one hundred Jews circumciſed ſecundum artem, fourty Arabians ſtuck with ſpices of all kinds; ten New-England men; fifty Pyrats; eight Exciſemen, nineteen Geneva-men, three Jeſuits, thirty Quakers, one and fifty Anabaptiſts, lantch't in fair river water, threeſcore Independents; a quarter of a pound of John Lilburn's bones beaten into fine powder and ſear'd, the better to unite with the reſt; whereunto adde an ounce of Oyle of Saint-John's-Wort, a drachme of the ſcrapings of the Divell's cloven foot; five ſpoon-fulls of the marrow of old Oliver's noſe; half a Committee-man; two Gallons of Aquafortis, ſeventy Scot's haſlets, together with a Kilderkinfull of Hugh Peter's ſighs and tears, evaporated into water in an Alembiqu' made of an Organ-pipe; you may throw in (if you ſee cauſe) a barrell or two of Gunpowder, (the whiteſt is beſt) a firebrand lighted at both ends, and one grain of Quickſilver, and (to keep all from blowing up) twenty or thirty Redcoats (according to diſcretion) and laſtly for the better reliſhing of the Oleo, a Piſpot full of Alderman Atkins's perfume, you need not trouble your ſelfe to go to the Apothecaries for it, the beſt is ſold by Tom Turd about Pancridg Church fields: to all theſe add but one ſcruple of Eternity to make it laſt for ever. Put all theſe materials together into a great Mortar made of all the Bells in England, Scotland, and Ireland; beat them well together till they become incorporated into a ſtrong body, then ſet them over a gentle fire, till they become juſt Lukewarm, and no more: take it off from the fire, let it coole, and keep it for uſe.

The Vertues.

'Tis excellent good to purge the Nation to skin and bones: It agree's very well with the Common-wealth's men's appetite, but riſes in the Cavaliers ſtomack; for which cauſe they, and the Presbyterians had beſt refrain it: The Spaniard would like it well if he might have a finger in the diſh; the Frenchman would love it beyond his niceſt Kiék ſhawes. 'Tis good againſt poverty. An excellent Reſtorative for broken fortunes. It forces men out of Gaoles to preferments. But you muſt know that 'tis alſo very dangerous for ſome conſtitutions; for it makes ſome peoples heads fall off from their ſhoulders, others dye upon a Gibbet, and ſends many an one a pickpack to the Divell: upon which conſideration I have thought fit to ſet down a neceſſary preparatory or courſe of phyſick which every man ought to run who intends to be rightly qualified that he may feed ſweetly on it, find it concoct rightly, and turn to his proper nouriſhment, the onely uſe it was intended for.

The Method to be us'd by our Patient.

Firſt you muſt abſtain from reading Divinity books, and hearing ſermons three years, when you have done ſo, you muſt go to Rome and take Orders there; when you return you muſt ſhift your cloathes to the very skin, and put on any habit you pleaſe but a Papiſt's, then you muſt preach one twelve-moneth which being duely obſerved, take but the quantity of an Haſle-nut of the following Pill for a fortnight, together without intermiſſion, and you are right.

Recipe. The Pill:

Of Hypocriſy 5 ſcruples; ſelf-denying one drachme ½ of Impudence 9 ounces, Religion. q. s. powder of a ſear'd Conſcience 7 lb : water of Orphan's tears 1 Rundlet full; Church-lands as much as you can get (for that's a ſcarce Commodity, and almoſt all bought up) 3 lb : ¼ of the ruſt of a weathercock, ℥ of Atheiſme to role up the Pill to make it go down with the leſſe obſtruction. Make all but the laſt drugg into a maſſe; take of it (as I ſaid before) the proportion of an Haſle nut every morning next your heart, for the ſpace of time above mentioned, and you may partake freely of the Oleo, and yowl find your ſelf after a little uſe fit to make an ingredient in ſuch another when that's ſpent.

Probatum erit.
