A80590	The Diggers mirth or, certain verses composed and fitted to tunes, for the delight and recreation of all those who dig, or own that work, in the Commonwealth of England. Wherein is shewed how the kingly power doth still reign in severall sorts of men. With a hint of that freedom which shall come, when the father shall reign alone in his Son. Set forth by those who were the original of that so righteous a work, and continue still successful therein at Cobham in Surrey.	Coster, Robert.	1650 (1650)	Wing C6366A; Thomason E1365_3; ESTC R209239	2,880	16

forth_o before_o because_o we_o think_v for_o to_o have_v add_v more_o accept_v of_o this_o therefore_o with_o all_o thy_o heart_n thou_o may_v hereafter_o see_v a_o second_o part_n to_o the_o tune_n of_o the_o spanish_a gipsy_n 1._o you_o people_n which_o be_v wise_a will_v freedom_n high_o prize_n for_o experience_n you_o have_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o slave_n this_o have_v you_o be_v all_o your_o life_n long_o but_o chief_o since_o the_o war_n begin_v 2._o when_o great_a man_n disagree_v about_o supremacy_n then_o do_v they_o warn_v poor_a man_n to_o aid_v and_o assist_v they_o in_o set_v up_o their_o self-will_n power_n and_o thus_o they_o do_v the_o poor_a devour_n 3_o yet_o they_o cunning_o pretend_v they_o have_v no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o set_v the_o poor_a free_a from_o all_o their_o slavery_n and_o thus_o they_o do_v the_o poor_a deceive_v in_o make_v they_o such_o thing_n believe_v 4_o their_o blind_a guide_n will_v not_o spare_v these_o thing_n for_o to_o declare_v you_o they_o aloud_o will_v cry_v stand_v for_o your_o liberty_n the_o gospel_n that_o lie_v at_o the_o stake_n rise_v therefore_o it_o be_v time_n to_o awake_v 5_o the_o priest_n very_o sensible_a be_v if_o the_o poor_a their_o liberty_n see_v their_o tythe-plundring_a trade_n will_v fall_v and_o then_o farewell_o tithe_n all_o then_o will_v they_o not_o be_v fine_o feed_v but_o they_o must_v work_v for_o their_o own_o bread_n 6._o the_o king_n a_o army_n do_v gain_v his_o power_n for_o to_o maintain_v that_o army_n do_v pretend_v for_o to_o be_v england_n friend_n in_o save_v of_o their_o liberty_n which_o lie_v at_o stake_n and_o like_a to_o die_v 7._o another_o army_n than_o be_v raise_v by_o mighty_a man_n that_o army_n to_o oppose_v look_v on_o they_o as_o foe_n likewise_o these_o power_n do_v agree_v to_o make_v the_o english_a nation_n free_a 8._o a_o covenant_n they_o do_v take_v and_o promise_v they_o do_v make_v all_o burden_n to_o remove_v and_o to_o unite_v in_o love_n yet_o we_o can_v see_v that_o good_a hour_n the_o take_v down_o of_o kingly_a power_n 9_o the_o nation_n willing_o do_v maintain_v this_o army_n their_o freedom_n for_o to_o gain_v but_o as_o yet_o all_o in_o vain_a for_o still_o a_o kingly_a power_n do_v stand_v in_o many_o person_n of_o this_o land_n 10._o a_o kingly_a power_n i_o say_v do_v in_o most_o man_n bare_a sway_n but_o chief_o in_o lord_n of_o manor_n and_o in_o the_o priest_n and_o lawyer_n this_o kingly_a power_n be_v their_o selfwill_a which_o in_o this_o manner_n they_o do_v fulfil_v 11._o the_o priest_n they_o tyrannize_v by_o take_v of_o the_o tithe_n the_o poor_a they_o much_o oppress_v by_o their_o pride_n and_o idleness_n no_o scripture_n warrant_v they_o can_v show_v why_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n they_o do_v 12._o therefore_o i_o pray_v consider_v and_o lay_v your_o head_n together_o for_o you_o will_v never_o thrive_v whilst_o priest_n do_v gain_v the_o tithe_n but_o let_v they_o work_v as_o well_o as_o you_o for_o reason_n bid_v they_o so_o to_o do_v 13._o they_o neither_o plough_n nor_o sow_v nor_o do_v they_o reap_v or_o mow_v nor_o any_o seed_n do_v find_v but_o priest_n the_o people_n grind_v the_o ten_o of_o all_o thing_n they_o do_v crave_v and_o thus_o each_o man_n be_v make_v a_o slave_n 14._o the_o lawyer_n they_o be_v next_o by_o who_o the_o poor_a be_v vex_v their_o practice_n be_v most_o base_a for_o they_o will_v plead_v man_n case_n according_a to_o the_o length_n of_o the_o purse_n and_o so_o the_o lawyer_n prove_v a_o curse_n 15._o another_o trick_n they_o have_v the_o nation_n to_o enslave_v man_n quarrel_n they_o will_v maintain_v their_o money_n for_o to_o gain_v therefore_o if_o lawyer_n you_o uphold_v they_o will_v cheat_v you_o of_o your_o silver_n &_o gold_n 16._o therefore_o my_o brethren_n dear_a the_o lawyer_n quite_o cashier_v go_v not_o to_o they_o for_o law_n for_o they_o your_o side_n will_v claw_v they_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o your_o case_n be_v good_a when_o they_o do_v mean_a to_o suck_v your_o blood_n 17._o therefore_o be_v rule_v by_o i_o and_o do_v not_o lawyer_n fee_n but_o end_v your_o suit_n at_o home_n lest_o you_o be_v overthrow_v for_o if_o lawyer_n gain_v your_o estate_n you_o may_v repent_v when_o it_o be_v too_o late_a 18._o beside_o the_o priest_n and_o lawyer_n there_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o manor_n who_o lie_v claim_v to_o waste_v land_n which_o by_o bloodshed_n be_v gain_v for_o duke_n william_n the_o norman_a king_n by_o much_o bloodshed_n this_o land_n do_v win_v 19_o when_o he_o this_o land_n have_v gain_v he_o present_o ordain_v that_o his_o chief_a soldier_n shall_v this_o land_n by_o parcel_n hold_v own_v he_o to_o be_v the_o supreme_a in_o pay_v tribute_n unto_o he_o 20._o from_o hence_o come_v lord_n of_o manor_n with_o fine_n quitrent_n and_o heriot_n and_o all_o such_o curse_a thing_n which_o be_v pay_v to_o these_o king_n and_o thus_o the_o people_n be_v broughtdown_o by_o lord_n of_o manor_n who_o wear_v the_o crown_n 21._o the_o lord_n of_o manor_n i_o say_v do_v bear_v a_o mighty_a sway_n the_o common_a land_n they_o hold_v herein_o they_o be_v too_o bold_a they_o will_v not_o suffer_v man_n to_o till_o the_o common_a land_n by_o their_o good_a wil._n 22._o but_o lord_n of_o manor_n must_v know_v their_o title_n to_o commons_o be_v low_a for_o why_o their_o title_n come_v in_o by_o william_n the_o norman_a king_n but_o now_o the_o norman_a successor_n be_v dead_a their_o royalty_n to_o the_o commons_o be_v flee_v 23._o therefore_o let_v i_o advise_v all_o those_o which_o freedom_n prize_n to_o till_o each_o heath_n and_o plain_n for_o this_o will_v freedom_n gain_v heriot_n and_o fines_n this_o will_v expel_v a_o bondage_n great_a man_n know_v full_a well_o 24._o for_o we_o do_v plain_o see_v the_o sword_n will_v not_o set_z free_a but_o bondage_n be_v increase_v because_o our_o wealth_n be_v waste_v by_o pay_v tax_n and_o freequarter_n expect_v freedom_n will_v come_v after_o 25._o but_o freedom_n be_v not_o win_v neither_o by_o sword_n nor_o gun_n though_o we_o have_v eight_o year_n stay_v and_o have_v our_o money_n pay_v then_o club_n and_o diamond_n cast_v away_o for_o heart_n &_o spade_n must_v win_v the_o day_n a_o hint_n of_o that_o freedom_n which_o shall_v come_v when_o the_o father_n shall_v reign_v alone_o in_o his_o son_n the_o father_n he_o be_v god_n alone_o nothing_o beside_o he_o be_v all_o thing_n be_v fold_v in_o that_o one_o by_o he_o all_o thing_n subsist_v he_o be_v our_o

must_v tread_v and_o esau_n shall_v the_o blessing_n seek_v and_o with_o tear_n shall_v it_o crave_v which_o he_o do_v set_v unto_o the_o meek_a which_o once_o he_o make_v a_o slave_n but_o sing_v o_o

shall_v be_v thy_o lot_n and_o of_o this_o long_a time_n thou_o have_v be_v tell_v but_o much_o thou_o do_v it_o slight_a therefore_o esau_n we_o must_v be_v bold_a now_o for_o to_o claim_v our_o
