^EIn sixteen forty nine to St George's H^Bill a ragged ^Aband they called the Diggers came to sh^Eow the peoples' will ^Ethey defied the Landlords, they defied the l^Baws they were the d^Aispossessed, recl^Baiming what was th^Eeirs

^E"we come in peace" they said, to^B dig and sow we come to w^Aork the lands in common and to m^Eake the wastegrounds grow ^Ethis earth divided, we will make^B whole so it wil^Al be a common t^Breasury fo^Er all

^Ethe sin of property, we do disd^Bain no man has a^Any right to buy and sell the e^Earth for private gain ^Eby theft and murder they took the ^Bland now everywh^Aere the walls spring ^Bup at their comm^Eand

^Ethey make the laws to chain us^B well the clergy d^Aazzle us with heaven or they d^Eamn us into hell ^Ewe will not worship the god they^B serve the god of gr^Aeed who feeds the r^Bich while poor man st^Earve

^Ewe work, we eat together we need no^B swords we will not b^Aow to the masters or pay r^Eent to the lords ^Ewe are free men, though we are^B poor you diggers a^All stand up for gl^Bory stand up n^Eow

^Efrom the men of property, the orders ^Bcame they sent the h^Aired men and troopers to wipe ^Eout the Diggers' claim ^Etear down their cottages, destroy the^Bir corn they were disp^Aersed, but still the v^Bision lingers ^Eon

^Eyou poor take courage, you rich take c^Bare this earth was m^Aade a common treasury for ^Eeveryone to share ^Eall things in common, all people ^Bone we come in pe^Aace, the orders c^Bame to cut them down ^E
