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.

HAth Fate, and Time, conſpird, to ſend thee Death, In ſpite of all the life guard of his breath: Health, Wit, and Courage, ſtrength for to withſtand▪ Natures declining age, by temperance hand: Grew not his ſences like the lawrell greene, By yeeres experience ſtill more riper ſeene, Grew not his care ſtill for his countries good; A Bulwarke that falſe Antichrist withſtood: Was not his care his ſtudy, and his mind, To beate downe Vice, and have the Church refin'd: Did not his Iudgement in the knowing Lawes, Both Temporall and Divine deſerve applauſe: Did not his care ſpread like a ſaving ſhroud, With wholſome Counſell fit to be allow'd, Like to a reverend Rabby of the Land. Iudgement poſſeſt his Braine, Iuſtice his Hand; Patience and temperance both liv'd in his mind, Pity his heart, his eyes alwaies inclind, To looke upon diſtreſſes of the poore, and apply helpe, What can a man doe more. His well pend Speeches, grave, diſcreet, and good, Hath been approv'd, by thoſe that underſtood, To ſavour nothing, but of care, and weale, To publique health, who their defects would heale. Harſh roughneſſe mixture had not in his blood, Meekeneſſe, and patience in his actions ſtood, Petition • given him from humble hands, As humbly he takes, and for them ſtands; So far that if they righteous things require, 'Tis hard if he cannot finiſh their deſire: And what gain'd he for all his well inclind, But cenſure evill from the baſe of mind, Hate of Malignant Papists, Cavaliers, With their abuſive libells, ſtill appeares, To fling at him reproch, and ſcandalls baſe, Which backwards ſtill return'd unto each face: And ſtill in ſpite of their weak Etnian ire, His perfect gold outliv'd their hatefull fire, And I could wiſh that that from his aſhie urne, That his new Fenix might to us returne.
AN ACROSTICK on his name. I doe not grieve but thouſands more, Over thy marble drops a ſecond ſhowre. Hearts fill'd with ſorrow, eyes ſtill overflowes Nothing but teares can ever drown ſad woes. Peace quiet reſt give thee, yet thy name ſhall be In every heart worn for thy memory: Meane time we ſtand engag'd thou haſt diſcharged thine.
EPITAPH. Heres Earth in Earth involv'd Oh ſuch a mold! Whoſe ore is purer then refined gold. Worms touch it not 'tis ſuch a ſacred clay You cannot rape, remain then till the day Your ſeparations meet, when both may bee Happy reviv'd in bleſt eternity.
Finis.
