A82090	A declaration from the poor oppressed people of England, directed to all that call themselves, or are called Lords of Manors, through this nation; that have begun to cut, or that through fear and covetousness, do intend to cut down the woods and trees that grow upon the commons and waste land.	Winstanley, Gerrard, b. 1609.	1649 (1649)	Wing D595; Thomason E557_9; ESTC R205824	7,119	8

child_n by_o self-seeking_a proprietor_n but_o to_o leave_v it_o a_o free_a store-house_n and_o common_a treasury_n to_o all_o without_o respect_n of_o person_n and_o this_o we_o count_v be_v our_o

our_o money_n to_o dispose_v of_o they_o for_o public_a use_n for_o if_o the_o reformation_n must_v be_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n than_o every_o one_o be_v to_o have_v the_o benefit_n

at_o the_o door_n of_o a_o prison_n or_o foot_n of_o a_o gallow_n to_o justify_v this_o righteous_a cause_n if_o those_o that_o have_v take_v our_o money_n from_o we_o and_o promise_v to_o give_v we_o

sell_v or_o exchange_v the_o say_a wood_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v know_v public_o in_o print_n or_o writing_n to_o all_o how_o much_o every_o such_o and_o such_o parcel_n of_o wood_n be_v sell_v for_o and_o how_o it_o be_v lay_v out_o either_o in_o victual_n corn_n plough_n or_o other_o material_n necessary_a and_o we_o hope_v we_o may_v not_o doubt_v at_o least_o we_o expect_v that_o they_o that_o be_v call_v the_o great_a council_n and_o power_n of_o england_n who_o so_o often_o have_v declare_v themselves_o by_o promise_n and_o covenant_n and_o confirm_v they_o by_o multitude_n of_o fast_v

norman_a conqueror_n under_o who_o oppress_a power_n england_n be_v enslave_v and_o we_o look_v upon_o that_o freedom_n promise_v to_o be_v the_o inheritance_n of_o all_o without_o respect_n of_o person_n and_o this_o can_v be_v unless_o the_o land_n of_o england_n be_v free_o set_v at_o liberty_n from_o proprietor_n and_o become_v a_o common_a treasury_n to_o all_o her_o child_n as_o every_o

howsoever_o their_o action_n will_v prove_v to_o the_o view_n of_o all_o either_o their_o sincerity_n or_o hypocrisy_n we_o know_v what_o we_o speak_v be_v our_o privilege_n and_o our_o cause_n be_v

they_o will_v make_v we_o a_o free_a people_n these_o three_o be_v all_o do_v by_o we_o as_o well_o as_o by_o themselves_o we_o claim_v this_o our_o bargain_n by_o the_o law_n of_o contract_n from_o they_o to_o be_v a_o free_a people_n with_o they_o and_o to_o have_v a_o equal_a privilege_n of_o common_a livelihood_n with_o they_o they_o be_v choose_v by_o we_o but_o for_o a_o peculiar_a work_n and_o for_o a_o appoint_a time_n from_o among_o we_o not_o to_o be_v our_o oppress_a lord_n but_o servant_n to_o succour_v we_o but_o these_o two_o be_v our_o weak_a proof_n and_o yet_o by_o they_o in_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n and_o equity_n that_o dwell_v in_o man_n heart_n we_o shall_v with_o ease_n cast_v down_o all_o those_o former_a enslave_v norman_a reiterate_a law_n in_o every_o
