A few days after the publication of this declaration, viz., on Sunday, April 1st, 1649, the Diggers commenced their labours on the Commons around George's Hill, in Surrey, the first results of which we have already recorded. Within a few days of Winstanley and Everard's visit to Lord Fairfax and his Council of War, they and their followers drafted yet another pamphlet, which bears date April 26th, 1649, the very day Lockyer, "The Army's Martyr," was condemned to death, and the title-page of which reads as follows: "THE TRUE LEVELLERS STANDARD ADVANCED:[95:1] OR THE STATE OF COMMUNITY OPENED AND PRESENTED TO THE SONS OF MEN.

THOMAS EDER. HENRY BICKERSTAFFE. JOHN TAYLOR, etc. Beginning to plant and manure the Waste Land upon Georges Hill, in the Parish of Walton, in the County of Surrey." The pamphlet opens with a Preface by a certain John Taylor, whose name appears last on the list of signatures attached thereto, and who was probably one of Winstanley's more recent converts. In it he states that he has had "some conversation with the author of this ensuing declaration, and the persons subscribing, and by experience find them sweetly acted and guided by the everlasting Spirit, the Prince of Peace, to walk in the paths of Righteousness." "Such as these," he declares, "shall be partakers of the promise--_Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth._" The body of the pamphlet itself is headed: "A DECLARATION TO THE POWERS OF ENGLAND, AND TO ALL THE POWERS OF THE WORLD, shewing the cause why the Common People of England have begun and give consent to dig up, manure, and sow corn upon George Hill in Surrey, by those that have subscribed, and thousands more that give consent." It commences as follows:
