 | | At Cobham, one Everard, a disbanded soldier, gave himself out to be a prophet, and professed to have had a vision, in which he and his followers were commanded to arise and dig and plough the earth. |
 | | The poor Levellers, completely disconcerted by the vigour of their opponent, at once yielded when quarter was conceded to them, The mutiny was at an end; and, from the apparent ease and the rapidity with which it was suppressed, it is difficult now to understand the reason for all the alarm which it excited. |
 | | Not a few of these Levellers, however, as Owen intimates in the sermon, and as their conduct showed, were brave and desperate men. |
