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.

AN ELEGIE On the Death of Mrs Rebecca Palmer. Daughter of A. P. M. Who died in the Fifteenth Year of her Age, November 17. 1667. Here lies the Cask, the Jewel it ſelf is gone: To be refined more, and ſhine alone. The Virgin-Soul that breathed in this duſt, Makes haſte to Reſt, and take her journey muſt To Saints above, and there muſt Ieſus ſee, Whom Saviour, Bridegroom, Love, and Lord, to be She choſen had: Whoſe Call betimes ſhe hears; Her Ear and Heart inclin'd: VVhen come to years, Th' afflictions of the Saints was made to chooſe, Refuſing vain delights; nor run with thoſe Who for a while pleaſures of ſin enjoy, Beſt time miſ-ſpend, and precious Souls deſtroy; Hence ſhe repin'd not at a ſuffering-ſtate, Reproach for Chriſt ſhe knew how t' eſtimate. She lov'd his word, and ſat at Jeſus Feet, And tell ſhe would, that all his words were ſweet. Th' Aſsemblies of the Saints were her delight, Chriſts Voice to hear, and of Him have a ſight: Her Cloſet-Cries and Tears obſerved were, Though ſhe cloſeſt retirements ſought, with fear, (As oft expreſt) of Heart-hypocriſie; Of which ſhe kept a gracious jealouſie. Her gentle ſweet Behaviour, Modeſty, Lovely with Natures Ingenuity, Gave her acceptance with the Saints, won Love And kindneſs from them, who her Spirit did prove: To Parents, tender, chearful, and content; Still ſaying, God will provide, we ſhall not want: To fellow-Children, carriage ſweet and dear; To Friends, to All, her Words endearing were. Example to all youth, helpt to deny, By Cboice, fond triflles, and their vanity. The ſins and troubles which her future Age Might have expos'd her to, which times preſage, Prevented are, b' an early ſudden flight Int' her beſt Fathers Houſe and Manſion bright: Her compleat Marriage-ſtate with Chriſt to make, Scarce ſtaying a farewel of her Friends to take Leaving a ſavour here; and Thoſe ſhe left To Bleſs and Praiſe, not ſorrow, as if bereft. Go Heav'n-born Soul, ſoon ripe, till we ſhall meet Before the Throne, and ſing at Jeſus Feet: Till Duſt a fitter Cabinet ſhall be, When raiſed up, for Immortality. Sic Ebullivit Affectus.
