now (without the special providence of God) we may even
conclude with Parliament everlasting, Tyranny, Sessements,
and Taxations without end.
They begin now afresh to juggle with the Earl of Darby about
Rendring the Isle of Man; 'tis strange if that unspotted Family
should now disclaim their Primitive Loyalty and become
Rebels that were ever true; when I see it, I'le beleeve it, not before.
Now Fairfax beware thy breech, the Levellers are up, and
Vow Revenge for Arnold and Lockiers death; but the Clawing
Juncto thinks to appease them by granting Walwyn, Prince, and
Overton the liberty of the Tower, but 'tis not that Liberty they
aime at; 'tis the Liberty of the Free People of England they Pretend

Cromwel, Fairfax, and a few such Knaves that have more need
to be hang'd then gratified with such ungodly Rewards.
A great Conflict hath been at High Wickham, between some
Levellers and the Mayor; the Mayor would have Committed
