A96697 A new-yeers gift for the Parliament and Armie: shewing what the kingly power is; and that the cause of those that they call Diggers is the life and marrow of that cause the Parliament hath declared for, and the Army fought for; the perfecting of which work, will prove England to be the first of nations, of the tenth part of the city Babylon, that fals off from the Beast first, and that sets the Crown upon Christs head, to govern the world in righteousness: / by Jerrard Winstanley a lover of Englands freedom and peace. Winstanley, Gerrard, b. 1609. 1650 (1650) Wing W3050; Thomason E587_6; ESTC R206278 36,076 51

in_o his_o hand_n then_o next_o the_o art_n of_o buy_v and_o sell_v promise_n to_o save_v the_o creation_n and_o bring_v it_o into_o peace_n but_o this_o be_v a_o hypocritical_a false_a cheat_a christ_n too_o for_o hereby_o covetous_a self-love_n with_o his_o flatter_a tongue_n cheat_v honest_a heart_v one_o and_o cast_v they_o under_o tyranny_n and_o get_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o earth_n into_o his_o hand_n and_o lock_v it_o up_o in_o chest_n and_o barn_n from_o other_o and_o say_v this_o be_v righteous_a and_o god_n give_v it_o he_o but_o thou_o cheater_n thou_o lie_v god_n the_o king_n of_o righteousness_n give_v it_o thou_o not_o he_o bid_v thou_o sell_v all_o that_o thou_o have_v and_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a he_o do_v not_o bid_v thou_o lock_v it_o up_o from_o the_o poor_a therefore_o thou_o trade_v art_n thou_o be_v no_o true_a saviour_n neither_o but_o a_o devil_n thou_o save_v part_n and_o destroy_v another_o part_n yea_o and_o afterwards_o destroy_v that_o part_n which_o at_o first_o thou_o seem_v to_o save_v now_o all_o these_o saviour_n be_v link_v together_o if_o one_o true_o fall_v all_o must_v fall_v they_o all_o promise_n to_o save_v the_o creation_n but_o destruction_n be_v in_o their_o hand_n and_o action_n they_o all_o seek_v to_o set_v up_o self_n and_o particular_a power_n and_o so_o to_o save_v but_o part_n of_o the_o creation_n for_o every_o one_o be_v destroyer_n of_o universal_a love_n they_o that_o sit_v in_o these_o seat_n will_v be_v call_v man_n of_o public_a spirit_n but_o true_o you_o be_v all_o selfish_a you_o be_v afraid_a to_o own_o public_a spirit_a man_n nay_o you_o be_v ashamed_a some_o of_o you_o to_o be_v see_v walk_v or_o talk_v with_o true_a public_a spirit_a man_n call_v leveller_n but_o well_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o promise_n of_o restoration_n and_o salvation_n to_o the_o whole_a creation_n and_o this_o must_v be_v wrought_v by_o a_o power_n contrary_a to_o darkness_n for_o all_o those_o former_a saviour_n lie_v under_o darkness_n nay_o be_v branch_n of_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n itself_o and_o darkness_n can_v never_o kill_v darkness_n but_o now_o the_o true_a saviour_n must_v be_v a_o power_n quite_o opposite_a to_o darkness_n and_o this_o be_v the_o power_n of_o universal_a love_n light_n and_o righteousness_n and_o if_o ever_o the_o creation_n be_v whole_o save_v this_o power_n must_v be_v the_o saviour_n for_o this_o be_v the_o blessing_n and_o he_o will_v declare_v himself_o the_o true_a saviour_n indeed_o the_o other_o be_v but_o the_o curse_n this_o be_v the_o true_a restorer_n the_o true_a seed_n with_o we_o as_o he_o arise_v and_o spread_v he_o will_v bruise_v the_o serpent_n head_n in_o every_o one_o and_o bring_v peace_n to_o all_o and_o wipe_v away_o all_o tear_n from_o the_o creation_n and_o make_v a_o through_o salvation_n of_o it_o through_o the_o whole_a earth_n and_o leave_v none_o under_o bondage_n this_o be_v the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n when_o he_o arise_v he_o disperse_v darkness_n and_o will_v make_v all_o ashamed_a that_o have_v hand_n in_o promote_n of_o the_o other_o false_a saviour_n power_n but_o i_o must_v leave_v this_o and_o speak_v a_o little_a more_o of_o the_o present_a condition_n mankind_n lie_v under_o and_o this_o be_v darkness_n or_o the_o fall_n and_o in_o this_o estate_n ignorant_a enslave_a flesh_n will_v ever_o run_v round_o in_o it_o and_o never_o come_v out_o but_o count_v it_o freedom_n but_o they_o that_o know_v the_o burden_n of_o this_o estate_n hunger_n after_o freedom_n this_o darkness_n be_v twofold_a first_o inward_a and_o that_o be_v the_o power_n of_o darkness_n in_o his_o branch_n as_o covetousness_n envy_n pride_n hypocrisy_n self-love_n this_o be_v the_o curse_n in_o man_n and_o this_o darkness_n have_v and_o yet_o do_v cover_v the_o earth_n this_o power_n will_v be_v as_o god_n and_o make_v one_o to_o rule_n over_o another_o and_o he_o be_v so_o proud_a that_o he_o will_v hasten_v to_o rule_v though_o he_o kill_v other_o for_o honour_n and_o this_o be_v he_o that_o stir_v up_o war_n and_o dissension_n and_o thereby_o he_o destroy_v himself_o second_o this_o inward_a power_n set_v one_o against_o another_o and_o so_o fill_v the_o earth_n with_o dark_a action_n and_o cause_v some_o part_n of_o mankind_n to_o tread_v other_o under_o foot_n and_o put_v they_o into_o bondage_n and_o they_o that_o act_n this_o power_n call_v it_o the_o power_n and_o ordinance_n of_o god_n which_o be_v true_a it_o be_v god_n indeed_o but_o it_o be_v the_o god_n of_o the_o world_n the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n not_o the_o king_n of_o righteousness_n it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o the_o beast_n who_o be_v limit_v to_o rule_v for_o a_o time_n time_n and_o divide_v of_o time_n and_o england_n be_v under_o that_o divide_n of_o time_n therefore_o i_o hope_v england_n shall_v be_v the_o ten_o part_n of_o the_o city_n confusion_n that_o shall_v fall_v from_o the_o beast_n first_o and_o this_o dark_a power_n or_o imaginary_a covetousness_n have_v raise_v a_o platform_n of_o oppression_n in_o the_o creation_n under_o which_o the_o creation_n groan_v and_o wait_v to_o be_v deliver_v and_o it_o be_v raise_v thus_o first_o this_o dark_a power_n within_o make_v every_o one_o to_o love_v himself_o with_o other_o loss_n just_a like_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n and_o this_o make_a mankind_n to_o begin_v to_o loath_a or_o envy_v each_o other_o freedom_n and_o peace_n and_o hereby_o the_o union_n and_o communion_n of_o love_n within_o be_v break_v and_o mankind_n be_v fall_v from_o it_o then_o this_o inward_a covetousness_n make_v mankind_n to_o fight_v one_o against_o another_o for_o the_o earth_n and_o break_v communion_n in_o that_o and_o fall_v from_o content_a therein_o likewise_o and_o every_o one_o seek_v to_o save_v himself_o to_o take_v the_o earth_n to_o himself_o but_o none_o or_o few_o seek_v the_o thing_n of_o christ_n or_o of_o universal_a love_n nay_o covetousness_n be_v such_o a_o god_n that_o where_o he_o rule_v he_o will_v have_v all_o the_o earth_n to_o himself_o and_o he_o will_v have_v all_o to_o be_v his_o servant_n and_o his_o heart_n swell_v most_o against_o community_n call_v community_n a_o thief_n that_o take_v other_o man_n right_n and_o propriety_n from_o they_o but_o community_n will_v force_v nothing_o from_o any_o one_o but_o take_v what_o be_v give_v in_o love_n of_o that_o which_o other_o have_v wrought_v for_o but_o no_o man_n yet_o have_v bestow_v any_o labour_n upon_o the_o commons_o that_o lie_v waste_v therefore_o the_o digger_n do_v take_v no_o man_n proper_a good_n from_o they_o in_o so_o do_v but_o those_o that_o by_o force_n spoil_v their_o labour_n take_v their_o proper_a good_n from_o they_o which_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o their_o own_o labour_n well_o you_o see_v how_o covetousness_n will_v have_v all_o the_o earth_n to_o himself_o though_o he_o let_v it_o lie_v waste_n he_o stir_v up_o division_n among_o man_n and_o make_v party_n fight_v against_o party_n and_o all_o be_v but_o for_o this_o who_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o earth_n and_o live_v in_o honour_n and_o case_n and_o rule_v over_o other_o and_o the_o strong_a party_n always_o rule_v over_o the_o weak_a party_n and_o hence_o come_v in_o kingly_a power_n to_o rule_v outward_o divide_v between_o member_n of_o that_o one_o body_n mankind_n give_v the_o earth_n to_o that_o party_n call_v gentry_n who_o be_v the_o successor_n of_o some_o late_a conquest_n and_o deny_v the_o earth_n to_o the_o poor_a commoner_n who_o be_v the_o successor_n of_o some_o that_o be_v last_o conquer_a so_o that_o by_o kingly_a power_n the_o earth_n be_v divide_v as_o it_o be_v now_o at_o this_o day_n but_o as_o the_o scripture_n say_v king_n be_v give_v for_o a_o plague_n to_o the_o people_n not_o a_o blessing_n and_o i_o believe_v the_o nation_n have_v find_v this_o very_a true_a to_o their_o great_a sorrow_n 〈◊〉_d and_o the_o way_n to_o cast_v out_o kingly_a power_n again_o be_v not_o to_o cast_v they_o out_o by_o the_o sword_n for_o this_o do_v but_o set_v he_o in_o more_o power_n and_o remove_v he_o from_o a_o weak_a to_o a_o strong_a hand_n but_o the_o only_a way_n to_o cast_v he_o out_o be_v for_o the_o people_n to_o leave_v he_o to_o himself_o to_o forsake_v fight_v and_o all_o oppression_n and_o to_o live_v in_o love_n one_o towards_o another_o this_o power_n of_o love_n be_v the_o true_a saviour_n the_o party_n that_o be_v call_v a_o king_n be_v but_o the_o head_n of_o a_o army_n and_o he_o and_o his_o army_n have_v conquer_a shut_v the_o conquer_a out_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o enjoy_v it_o but_o as_o a_o servant_n and_o slave_n to_o he_o and_o
