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).

EDINBƲRGH, Printed for John Maſon, 1672.
Morning Prayer.

O God, I praiſe thee, for the creation of the World, and for the Redemption of mankind by the Lord Jeſus, and for thy many favours beſtowed on me: Thou didst ſafely take me from the womb, and hast ever ſince cared for me thou haſt by thy mercie cauſed me to b • born within thy Church, where I wa • early given to thee in baptiſm: thou ha •• afforded me the means of grace, and ca • led me to the hope of glory.

But, O moſt mercifull Father, 〈◊〉 a poor and miſerable ſinner, conceive • in ſin, and brought forth in iniquity have gone aſtray from thee: I have 〈◊〉 cared to know thee, and do thy will bu • have done mine own will, and followed my fooliſh and ſinfull inclinations; and do therefore deſerve thy wrath and curſe.

O Lord, have mercy upon me: turn me unto thee, and grant me repentance, and forgiveneſſe of all my ſins for Jeſus ſake: Let it from henceforth become my chiefeſt care to pleaſe thee, and to ſeek thy kingdom and righteouſneſſe: worke in me a true faith, a lively hope, and a fervent charitie: make me humble, meek▪ patient, ſober and just, kind and loving to all men, ſubmiſſive and obedient to them that are over me, and well content and thankfull in every condition of life: grant that I may dayly grow in knowing, • oving, fearing, and obeying thee: Creat • n me a clean heart, O God, and renew 〈◊〉 right ſpirit within me.

I thank thee, O Lord, for thy care of • e this night; watch over me this day: keep me mindfull that I am alwayes in thy ſight, that I may be in thy fear all the day long; and grant that through the whole courſe of my life, I may be holy and harmleſſe in all manner of converſation, that when this ſhort and frail life is at an end, I may be made partaker of everlaſting life, through the merits of Jeſus Chriſt our Lord, in whoſe name and words I pray. Our Father which art in Heaven, &c.

Evening Prayer.

MOſt Gracious God, What ſha •• I render unto thee for thy man and great benefits beſtowed on me▪ Though I have been an undutifull an •• diſobedient ſervant to thee, thou haſ • continued thy care and kindneſſe for m • ever ſince I was born, and haſt preſerved me this day: let me never forget thy goodneſſe, but grant that thereby I may be led to Repentance and amendment of life. Preſerve me from every thing that is diſpleaſing to thee: O Lord, keep me from curſing, ſwearing and lying, from pride, ſtubbornneſſe, and idleneſſe; worke in me an utter diſlike of all uncleanneſſe, of gluttony and drunkenneſſe, of malice and envy, of ſtrife and contention, of deceit and covetouſneſſe: give me grace to deny all ungodlineſſe and worldly luſts, and to live godly, righteouſly and ſoberly in this preſent world: cauſe me to underſtand and conſider the laws and life of Jeſus, that I may do his will, and follow his ſteps: let • ever the cares of this life, nor the love of • iches, nor evil company, nor the corrupt • cuſtoms of the world withdraw me from • he obedience of thy laws; but ſtrengthen, and establiſh me by thy holy Spirit that I may live and die thy faithfull ſervant.

O Lord, ſend thy Goſpel through the world: poure out plentifully the Spirit of truth, holineſſe and peace on all thy people. Bleſſe this Church and Kingdom; preſerve the King, the Queen, and all the Royall Familie: guide our Judges and Magiſtrates: ſanctifie and aſſiſt the Ministers of the Goſpel: Viſit all that are in trouble, and ſanctifie their afflictions to them: be gracious to all my kindred, friends and neighbours, and bleſſe and forgive all mine enemies.

Lord, watch over me this night, and • eep me ever mindfull that I am ſhortie to die, and come to Judgement, that may without delay turn to thee, and • aſſe the time of my ſojourning here in fear. Good Lord, hear me, and grant theſe my deſires, and what elſe thou knoweſt to be needfull for me, for the • ake of Jeſus, in whoſe name and words I pray, Our Father, &c.

Grace before Meat.

O Lord, be mercifull to us, and pardon our ſins: ſanctify theſe thy good benefits, that we, by the ſober and thankful uſe of them, may b • enabled for thy ſervice, through Jeſus Chriſt our Lord and Saviour Amen.

Grace after meat.

WE thank and praiſe thee, 〈◊〉 Lord, the giver of all goo • who haſt at this time fed our bodie • ſtir up in us a greater care for ou •• ſouls, and grant that our ſhort live • which are ſo carefully ſuſtained b • thy bounty, may be ſpent in doin • thy will: lead us ſafely through thi • vain and ſinfull world, in which w • are pilgrims and ſtrangers, and a • length bring us to everlaſting reſ • through Jeſus Chriſt. Amen.
