A96693	An humble request, to the ministers of both Universities, and to all lawyers in every Inns-a-Court To consider of the scriptures and points of law herein mentioned, and to give a rational and christian answer, whereby the difference may be composed in peace, between the poor men of England, who have begun to digge, plow, and build upon the common land, claiming it their own, by right of creation. And the lords of mannours that trouble them, who have no other claiming to Commons, then the Kings will, or from the power of the conquest, and if neither minister nor lawyer, will undertake a reconciliation in this case, for the beauty of our Common-Wealth. Then we appeale, to the stones, timber, and dust of the earth you tread upon, to hold forth the light of this business, questioning not, but that power that dwells every where, will cause light to spring out of darkness, and freedom out of bondage. By Gerard Winstanley.	Winstanley, Gerrard, b. 1609.	1650 (1650)	Wing W3044; ESTC R233004	13,389	20

and_o at_o this_o time_n i_o go_v to_o mr._n plat_n and_o speak_v with_o he_o about_o our_o freedom_n in_o the_o commons_o he_o answer_v i_o if_o i_o can_v make_v it_o good_a by_o scripture_n he_o will_v never_o trouble_v we_o more_o but_o let_v we_o build_v and_o plant_v nay_o he_o say_v he_o will_v cast_v in_o all_o his_o estate_n and_o become_v one_o with_o the_o digger_n the_o next_o week_n after_o i_o carry_v he_o this_o write_n afore_o print_v be_v monday_n in_o easter_n week_n and_o upon_o our_o discourse_n he_o seem_v to_o consent_v to_o many_o thing_n and_o be_v very_o moderate_a and_o promise_v i_o to_o read_v it_o over_o and_o to_o give_v i_o a_o answer_n moreover_o he_o promise_v i_o that_o if_o the_o digger_n will_v not_o cut_v the_o wood_n upon_o the_o common_a he_o will_v not_o pull_v down_o their_o house_n and_o the_o digger_n resolve_v for_o peace_n sake_n to_o let_v the_o wood_n alone_o till_o people_n do_v understand_v their_o freedom_n a_o little_a more_o and_o upon_o friday_n in_o easter_n week_n he_o come_v and_o bring_v his_o answer_n which_o be_v this_o he_o come_v accompany_v with_o about_o 50._o man_n and_o have_v hire_v 4._o or_o 5._o of_o they_o to_o fire_v down_o the_o digger_n house_n some_o that_o stand_v by_o say_a do_v not_o fire_v they_o the_o wood_n will_v do_v some_o good_a his_o answer_n be_v no_o no_o fire_n they_o to_o the_o ground_n that_o these_o heathen_n who_o know_v not_o god_n may_v not_o build_v they_o again_o for_o if_o you_o let_v the_o wood_n alone_o they_o will_v build_v again_o thereupon_o at_o the_o command_n of_o this_o parson_n plat_n they_o set_v fire_n to_o six_o house_n and_o burn_v they_o down_o and_o burn_v likewise_o some_o of_o their_o householdstuff_n and_o wear_v clothes_n throw_v their_o bed_n

make_v bate_v priest_n to_o do_v this_o heathenish_a turkish_a act_n the_o poor_a digger_n be_v thus_o sudden_o cast_v out_o of_o their_o house_n by_o fire_n both_o they_o their_o wife_n and_o child_n be_v force_v to_o lie_v upon_o the_o open_a common_a all_o night_n yet_o the_o rage_n of_o parson_n plat_n and_o his_o company_n rest_v not_o here_o but_o in_o the_o night_n time_n some_o of_o they_o come_v again_o upon_o the_o commons_o while_o the_o digger_n be_v quiet_a and_o some_o of_o they_o in_o bed_n and_o say_v we_o have_v authority_n from_o our_o master_n that_o be_v mr._n plat_n to_o kill_v you_o and_o burn_v the_o rest_n of_o your_o good_n if_o you_o will_v not_o be_v go_v thereupon_o sir_n anthony_n vincent_n servant_n call_v davy_n strike_v at_o one_o and_o cut_v some_o of_o their_o chair_n and_o other_o good_n to_o piece_n fright_v the_o woman_n and_o child_n again_o and_o some_o of_o the_o digger_n ask_v they_o why_o they_o will_v do_v thus_o cruel_o by_o they_o they_o answer_v because_o you_o do_v not_o know_v god_n nor_o will_v not_o come_v to_o church_n sure_o if_o the_o god_n of_o these_o man_n by_o their_o go_n to_o church_n teach_v both_o their_o preacher_n and_o they_o to_o do_v such_o cruel_a deed_n we_o will_v neither_o come_v to_o church_n nor_o serve_v their_o god_n mr._n plat_n in_o his_o sermon_n can_v say_v live_v in_o peace_n with_o all_o man_n and_o love_v your_o enemy_n therefore_o if_o the_o digger_n be_v enemy_n he_o ought_v to_o love_v they_o in_o action_n but_o it_o be_v a_o true_a badge_n of_o a_o hypocrite_n to_o say_v and_o not_o to_o do_v let_v every_o man_n action_n be_v try_v and_o see_v who_o serve_v god_n they_o or_o the_o digger_n mr._n plat_n and_o the_o gentleman_n so_o will_v be_v call_v that_o be_v with_o he_o be_v full_a of_o rage_n and_o gnash_v their_o tongue_n with_o vexation_n but_o the_o digger_n be_v patient_a cheerful_a quiet_a in_o spirit_n love_v to_o those_o that_o have_v burn_v their_o house_n therefore_o the_o poor_a digger_n have_v get_v the_o crown_n and_o wear_v it_o and_o the_o priest_n and_o gentry_n have_v lose_v their_o crown_n the_o poor_a have_v strive_v with_o they_o 12._o month_n with_o love_n and_o patience_n the_o gentleman_n have_v answer_v they_o all_o the_o time_n with_o fury_n they_o will_v have_v the_o earth_n and_o all_o freedom_n but_o they_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o poor_a to_o have_v either_o earth_n or_o freedom_n but_o what_o they_o hire_v of_o they_o but_o though_o the_o devil_n be_v let_v loose_a to_o swell_v against_o we_o in_o these_o gentry_n that_o rule_n over_o we_o by_o kingly_a power_n or_o law_n of_o norman_a conquest_n notwithstanding_o they_o have_v take_v the_o engagement_n to_o cast_v out_o kingly_a power_n yet_o his_o

ash_n nay_o far_o if_o this_o satisfy_v not_o mr._n plat_n but_o he_o and_o tho_n sutton_n of_o cobham_n have_v hire_v three_o man_n to_o attend_v both_o night_n and_o day_n to_o beat_v the_o digger_n and_o to_o pull_v down_o their_o tent_n or_o house_n if_o they_o make_v any_o more_o and_o if_o they_o make_v cave_n in_o the_o earth_n they_o threaten_v to_o murder_v they_o there_o so_o that_o they_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o poor_a digger_n to_o live_v neither_o above_o nor_o below_o ground_n if_o they_o beg_v they_o whip_v they_o by_o their_o law_n for_o vagrant_n if_o they_o steal_v they_o hang_v they_o and_o if_o they_o set_v themselves_o to_o plant_v the_o common_a for_o a_o livelihood_n that_o they_o may_v neither_o beg_v nor_o steal_v and_o whereby_o england_n be_v enrich_v yet_o they_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o do_v this_o neither_o and_o so_o hereby_o these_o gentleman_n take_v away_o both_o creation-right_a and_o commonwealth_n right_a from_o the_o poor_a digger_n for_o they_o command_v the_o poor_a enslave_a tenant_n and_o neighbour_n likewise_o not_o to_o suffer_v any_o of_o the_o digger_n to_o have_v any_o lodging_n in_o their_o house_n nor_o to_o sell_v they_o any_o meat_n for_o their_o money_n and_o thus_o the_o fury_n of_o parson_n plat_n exceed_v the_o fury_n of_o any_o other_o lord_n of_o manor_n the_o chief_a setter_n on_o to_o burn_v these_o house_n and_o to_o abuse_v the_o digger_n be_v parson_n plat_n sir_n anthony_n vincent_n his_o tenant_n and_o servant_n be_v most_o of_o they_o there_o likewise_o thomas_n sutton_n and_o

the_o actor_n in_o this_o turkish_a design_n be_v furious_a beyond_o the_o fury_n of_o the_o beast_n but_o many_o of_o those_o that_o come_v be_v threaten_v by_o vincent_n his_o chief_a man_n to_o be_v turn_v out_o of_o their_o living_n if_o they_o come_v not_o so_o that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o act_n of_o the_o tenant_n by_o free_a consent_n but_o the_o gentleman_n hire_v other_o to_o do_v it_o these_o man_n do_v so_o powerful_o act_v the_o image_n of_o the_o beast_n that_o they_o will_v neither_o buy_v nor_o sell_v with_o any_o free_o nor_o let_v any_o have_v land_n house_n or_o work_v under_o they_o but_o such_o as_o have_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o beast_n that_o be_v such_o as_o be_v fill_v with_o fear_n of_o they_o and_o be_v obedient_a to_o their_o beastly_a power_n and_o some_o of_o they_o say_v they_o do_v god_n good_a service_n if_o they_o can_v destroy_v or_o kill_v the_o digger_n thus_o the_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v rev._n 13._o 17._o and_o now_o they_o cry_v out_o the_o digger_n be_v rout_v and_o they_o ring_v bell_n for_o joy_n but_o stay_v gentleman_n yourselves_o be_v rout_v and_o you_o have_v lose_v your_o crown_n and_o the_o poor_a digger_n have_v win_v the_o crown_n of_o glory_n for_o first_o you_o have_v not_o rout_v they_o by_o law_n for_o you_o dare_v not_o suffer_v the_o digger_n plead_v their_o own_o cause_n so_o that_o it_o never_o come_v to_o any_o trial_n and_o you_o have_v no_o law_n to_o warrant_v your_o lordly_a power_n in_o beat_v of_o the_o digger_n but_o the_o will_n of_o kingly_a swordly_a power_n which_o be_v self-will_n and_o club-law_n second_o you_o have_v not_o rout_v the_o digger_n by_o dispute_n for_o your_o impatient_a covetous_a and_o proud_a swell_a heart_n will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o plead_v rational_o with_o they_o neither_o three_o have_v you_o rout_v they_o by_o scripture_n but_o the_o digger_n have_v rout_v you_o by_o your_o own_o law_n by_o reason_n by_o scripture_n and_o patient_a suffer_v all_o your_o abuse_n and_o now_o your_o name_n shall_v rot_v and_o your_o own_o power_n shall_v destroy_v you_o when_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n of_o old_a these_o lord_n of_o manor_n ancestor_n
