a_o declaration_n of_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n why_o we_o the_o poor_a inhabitant_n of_o the_o town_n of_o wellinborrow_n in_o the_o county_n of_o northampton_n have_v begin_v and_o give_v consent_n to_o dig_v up_o manure_v and_o sow_v corn_n upon_o the_o common_a and_o waste_v ground_n call_v bareshanke_n belong_v to_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o wellinborrow_n by_o those_o that_o have_v subscribe_v and_o hundred_o more_o that_o give_v consent_n 1_o we_o find_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o god_n make_v the_o earth_n for_o the_o use_n and_o comfort_n of_o all_o mankind_n and_o set_v he_o in_o it_o to_o till_o and_o dress_v it_o and_o say_v that_o in_o the_o sweat_n of_o his_o brow_n he_o shall_v eat_v his_o bread_n and_o also_o we_o find_v that_o god_n never_o give_v it_o to_o any_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o they_o shall_v have_v it_o all_o to_o themselves_o and_o shut_v out_o all_o the_o rest_n but_o he_o say_v the_o earth_n have_v he_o give_v to_o the_o child_n of_o man_n which_o be_v every_o man_n 2._o we_o find_v that_o no_o creature_n that_o evergod_n make_v be_v ever_o deprive_v of_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o mankind_n and_o that_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o covetousness_n pride_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n that_o have_v cause_v man_n so_o far_o to_o degenerate_v 3._o we_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n have_v leave_v it_o upon_o record_n that_o in_o the_o last_o day_n the_o oppresso●_n and_o proud_a man_n shall_v cease_v and_o god_n will_v restore_v the_o waste_a place_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o the_o use_n and_o comfort_n of_o man_n and_o that_o none_o shall_v hurt_v nor_o destroy_v in_o all_o his_o holy_a mountain_n 4._o we_o have_v great_a encouragement_n from_o these_o two_o righteous_a act_n which_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n have_v set_v forth_o the_o one_o against_o kingly_a power_n the_o other_o to_o make_v england_n a_o free_a commonwealth_n 5._o we_o be_v necessitate_v from_o our_o present_a necessity_n to_o do_v this_o and_o we_o hope_v that_o our_o action_n will_v justify_v we_o in_o the_o gate_n when_o all_o man_n shall_v know_v the_o truth_n of_o our_o necessity_n we_o be_v in_o wellinborrow_n in_o one_o parish_n 1169_o person_n that_o receive_v alm_n as_o the_o officer_n have_v make_v it_o appear_v at_o the_o quarter_n session_n last_o we_o have_v make_v our_o case_n know_v to_o the_o justice_n the_o justice_n have_v give_v order_n that_o the_o town_n shall_v raise_v a_o stock_n to_o set_v we_o on_o work_n and_o that_o the_o hundred_o shall_v be_v enjoin_v to_o assist_v they_o but_o as_o yet_o we_o see_v nothing_o be_v do_v nor_o any_o man_n that_o go_v about_o it_o we_o have_v spend_v all_o we_o have_v our_o trade_n be_v decay_v our_o wife_n and_o child_n cry_v for_o bread_n our_o life_n be_v a_o burden_n to_o we_o divers_a of_o we_o have_v 5._o 6._o 7._o 8._o 9_o in_o family_n and_o we_o can_v get_v bread_n for_o one_o of_o they_o by_o our_o labour_n rich_a man_n heart_n be_v harden_v they_o will_v not_o give_v we_o if_o we_o beg_v at_o their_o door_n if_o we_o steal_v the_o law_n will_v end_v our_o life_n divers_a of_o the_o poor_a be_v starve_v to_o death_n already_o and_o it_o be_v better_o for_o we_o that_o be_v live_v to_o die_v by_o the_o sword_n then_o by_o the_o famine_n and_o now_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o earth_n be_v our_o mother_n and_o that_o god_n have_v give_v it_o to_o the_o child_n of_o man_n and_o that_o the_o common_a and_o waste_a ground_n belong_v to_o the_o poor_a and_o that_o we_o have_v a_o right_a to_o the_o common_a ground_n both_o from_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n reason_n and_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v begin_v to_o bestow_v our_o righteous_a labour_n upon_o it_o and_o we_o shall_v trust_v the_o spirit_n for_o a_o blessing_n upon_o our_o labour_n resolve_v not_o to_o dig_v up_o any_o man_n propriety_n until_o they_o free_o give_v we_o it_o and_o true_o we_o find_v great_a comfort_n already_o through_o the_o goodness_n of_o our_o god_n that_o some_o of_o those_o rich_a man_n among_o we_o that_o have_v have_v the_o great_a profit_n upon_o the_o common_a have_v free_o give_v we_o their_o share_n in_o it_o as_o one_o mr_n john_n freeman_n thomas_n nottingam_fw-la and_o john_n clendon_n and_o divers_a other_o and_o the_o country_n farmer_n have_v proffer_v divers_a of_o they_o to_o give_v we_o seed_n to_o sow_v it_o and_o so_o we_o find_v that_o god_n be_v persuade_v japh_v to_o dwell_v in_o the_o tent_n of_o shem_n and_o rru_o those_o that_o we_o find_v most_o against_o we_o be_v such_o as_o have_v beenconstant_a enemy_n to_o the_o parliament_n cause_v from_o first_o to_o last_o now_o at_o last_o our_o desire_n be_v that_o some_o that_o approve_v of_o this_o work_n of_o righteousness_n will_v but_o spread_v this_o our_o declaration_n before_o the_o great_a council_n of_o the_o land_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v please_v to_o give_v we_o more_o encouragement_n to_o go_v on_o that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v find_v among_o the_o small_a number_n of_o those_o that_o consider_v the_o poor_a and_o needy_a that_o so_o the_o lord_n may_v deliver_v they_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o trouble_n and_o then_o they_o will_v not_o be_v find_v among_o those_o that_o solomon_n speak_v of_o which_o withhold_v the_o corn_n or_o the_o land_n from_o the_o poor_a which_o the_o people_n shall_v curse_v but_o blessing_n shall_v be_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o those_o ruler_n that_o sell_v corn_n and_o that_o will_v let_v the_o poor_a labour_n upon_o the_o earth_n to_o get_v they_o corn_n and_o our_o line_n shall_v bless_v they_o so_o shall_v good_a man_n stand_v by_o they_o and_o evil_a man_n shall_v be_v afraid_a of_o they_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v count_v the_o repairer_n of_o our_o breach_n and_o the_o restorer_n of_o our_o path_n to_o dwell_v in_o and_o thus_o we_o have_v declare_v the_o truth_n of_o our_o necessity_n and_o whosoever_o will_v come_v in_o to_o we_o to_o labour_n with_o we_o shall_v have_v part_n with_o we_o and_o we_o with_o they_o and_o we_o shall_v all_o of_o we_o endeavour_v to_o
