For as soone as any man offend any of these gorgious Gentlemen he is put out depriued and thruft from all his goods How long should we suffer so great oppression to goe vnreuenged For so farre are they now gone in crueltie and couetousnesse as they are not only content to take by violence all away and by force and villany to get which they consume in ryot and effeminate delights except they may also sucke in a manner our bloud and marrow out of our veines and bones The common Pastures left by our predecessors for the reliefe of vs and our children are taken away The lands which in the memory of our fathers were common those are ditched and hedged in and made seuerall the Pastures are inclosed and we shut out whatsoeuer fowles of the aire or fishes of the water and increase of the earth all these doe they deuoure consume and swallow vp yea nature doth not suffice to satisfie their lufts but they seeke out new deuices and as it were formes of pleasures to imbalme and perfume themselues to abound in pleasant smells to powre in sweete things to sweete things finally they seeke from all places all things for their desire and prouocation of lust while we in the meane time eate hearbs and roots and languish with continuall labour and yet enuie that we liue breathe and inioy common ayre Shall they as they haue brought hedges about common Pastures inclose with their intolerable lusts also al the commodities and pleasure of this life which Nature the Parent of vs all would haue common and bringeth foorth euery day for vs aswell as for them We can no longer beare so much so great and so cruell iniurie neither can wee with quiet minds behold so great couetousnesse excesse and pride of the Nobilitie we will rather take Armes and mixe Heauen and Earth together then indure so great crueltie Nature hath prouided for vs aswell as for them hath giuen vs a body and a soule and hath not enuied vs other things While we haue the same forme and the same condition of birth together with them why should they haue a life so vnlike vnto ours and differ so farre from vs in calling We see that now it is come to extremitie wee will also prooue extremitie rend downe hedges fill vp ditches make way for euery man into the common pasture Finally lay all euen with the ground which they no lesse wickedly then cruelly and couerously haue inclosed Neither will we suffer our selues any more to bee pressed with such burthens against our willes nor endure so great shame as liuing out our dayes vnder such inconueniences wee should leaue the Common-wealth vnto our postcritie mourning and miserable and much worse then we receiued it of our fathers Wherefore we will trie all meanes nei her will we euer rest vntill wee haue brought things to our owne liking We desire libertie and an ind●fferent vse of all things this will we haue otherwise these tumults and our liues shall end together With these waues of wrath and complaints tost as it were with a Tempest desperate persons and banckeroute varlets with their sales spred st●red vp one another and were drawne on to those villanies wher● by t●ey b●ought great danger to their Countrie and dest●uction to the● selues Not long after it happened there was a Play at Windham by an old custome which lasted two daies and two nights whereunto when a multitude of all degrees came these wretched conspirators hereunto onely bent their wits to powre foorth the venome of their enuie against their Countrie watching so fit an opportunitie of time and place First therefore were secret meetings of men running hither and thither then withdrawing themselues secret conferences but at length they all began to deale tumultuously and to
