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.

A New-yeers Gift for the Parliament and Armie: Shewing, what the kingly power is; And that the cause of those 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, or 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. London: Giles Calvert, 1650. Online Version
