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:

By Jerrard Winstanley a lover of Englands freedom and Peace.

Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice. Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise. Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores: Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores: Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end; Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.

London, Printed for Giles Calvert, 1650.
