civil war

What an
inequitable thing it
is for one man to
have thousands,
and another want
bread, and that the
pleasure of God is,
that all men should
have enough, and
not that one man
should abound in
this worlds good,
spending it upon
his lusts, and
another man of far
better deserts, not
be worth two
pence, and that it is
no such difficulty as
men make it to be,
to alter the course
of the world in this
thing, and that a
few diligent and
valiant spirits may
turn the world
upside down, if
they observe their
seasons, and shall
with life and
courage ingage
accordingly.
--- attributed to
William Walwyn
