Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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.

Uſque quo Domine? Rev. 6. 10. 2 Chron. 13. 9. Have ye not caſt out the Prieſts of the Lord, the ſonnes of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you Prieſts after the manner of the Nations of other Lands? ſo that whoſoever commeth to conſecrate himſelfe with a young bullock, and ſeven rammes, the ſame may be a Prieſt of no gods. 2 Chron. 36. 16. But they mocked the meſſengers of God, and deſpiſed his words, and miſuſed his Prophets, untill the wrath of the Lord roſe againſt his people, till there was no remedy. Luke 6. 22, 23. Bleſſed are you, when men ſhall hate you, and when they ſhall ſeparate you, ( 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , ſhall ſequeſter you) and ſhall reproach you, and caſt out your name as evill ( 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , as malignant) for the Sonne of mans ſake. Rejoyce ye in that day, and leap for joy, for behold your reward is great in heaven, for according to theſe things did their Fathers to the Prophets. Phil. 1. 28, 29. In nothing be ye terrified by your adverſaries; which to them is an evident token of perdition, but to you of ſalvation, and that of God. For unto you the grace is given in the behalfe of Chriſt, not onely to beleeve on him, but alſo to ſuffer for his ſake. 2 Tim. 4. 3. For the time will be, when they will not endure wholſome doctrine; but having itching eares, ſhall heap to themſelves Teachers according to their own private luſts. 1 Pet. 4. 16, 17, 18. If any man ſuffer as a Chriſtian, let him not be aſhamed, but let him glorifie God in this behalf. For the time is come, that judgement muſt begin at the houſe of God: and if it firſt begin at us, what ſhall the end be of them that obey not the Goſpel of God? And if the juſt man be ſaved with difficulty, where ſhall the ungodly and the ſinner appeare?
