1. Captain-Honesty, of the lineage of David.  
II. Captain-Justice, of the lineage of Solomon.  
III. Captain-Freedom, of the lineage of Nehemiah.   Being all up now in Arms contra Gentes, for a good People and a good Parliament, according to this their present DECLARATION.  
The first Institution.  
TO all true cordial English Souls inhabitant or dispersed through Europe, Asia, afric, and America; To Jew and Gentile, Freeborn and Slave: Be it by these presents made known, published and declared, That we, the legitimate Princes of the Earth, justice, Freedom, and Honesty, having for a time, times, and half a time, by the Tyranny of unjust Monarchs and Arbitrary Lords, been forcibly exiled, and from our Native Rights debarred; are now, at the time of the end, come down into the World to chastise Injustice, to settle Peace, and to reassume the sceptre in our own hands, as our proper due, against Emperors, Kings, Armies, counsels, maugre Men and Devils; Commanding all other Princes to lay down their sceptres at our feet, and Greatness to come under the command of Goodness; for this is the first Fundamental Right of the Sea-Green Order.  
Secondly, Be it next declared, That we intend to advance our Royal Standard, first in England, this present year of King Jesus 1648. and this by Commission from God our King, and the Parliament of Heaven, unalterably, uncontrollably; and have for that purpose made choice of the deep Seagreen for our Flag and Colours, and do hereby ordain and authorise it to be worn as the lively badge of Constancy, Sufferance and valour in grain, the cognizance of justice and the mark of Freedom and Deliverance.  
Thirdly, Be it by us ordered, That whatsoever noble heart shall abhor the yoke of Prerogative pleasure, the Chains of Slavery, and Tyranny by Princes, the Agents and cruel Instruments of Princes: Whosoever shall detest the Arbitrary Power and voice Negative: Whosoever shall abominate the self willed Pomp and Dominion of Lords temporal and spiritual, the juggling of bribed judges, the devilish inextriable snares of the Law-Courts, and their petty fogging sitting Dogs, (Pleaders, Officers of Court, Attorneys, Solicitors, perjured Sergeants, bailiffs, Undersheriffs,) with all their Quirks, Demurs, and Quillets: Whosoever is seeing and sensible of the late bloody plots, and still raging designs, of Antichristian Christians: Whosoever groans under the present Extortions, unequal Taxes, unjust Levies, inevitable Monopolies, new Charters, Plunders and Avarice of Committees, bondage of Prison under inhuman Gaolors, Oppression of Landlords, all Wardships, all Hardships; Let them, upon sight hereof, take up the Cross, and follow Christ their King; take up our Colours; and follow us their Leaders; and in so doing the Sea-green shall be the badge of their warrant and protection.  
Fourthly, Be it hereby instituted, That every one so wearing our Colours in hatband, cuff, garment, hilt, bridle, main, or sail, in relation to Equity, Freedom and Honesty, shall from henceforth, according to our Noble Order, be entitled the Free born Assistant of justice, (but according to the Order of King Charles, Levellers,) his is new, ours is old.  
Fifthly, Be it further instituted, That every Champion of the Sea-green Order shall vow a sacred vow, in all his prayers and endeavours, to level first the mountain of his own heart, pride, ambition, avarice, self hopes, self ends, self revenge, for this is the true level of the internal Antichrist.  
Sixthly, It is decreed, That every such Assistant of justice shall fearlessly resolve, promise and assent to his utmost power, to level to the earth all the unequal knobbiness,— and uneven risings— of injustice pomp, tyranny and oppression, as the very causes of this War and things abominated in the eyes of an angry God, Saints and Angels; be it in Prince, Peer, Prelate, judge, Magistrate, and that without difference or exception of Persons, Parties, Religions, Relations, Titles, Dignities, indifferently and indistinctly; for this is the Level of the external Antichrist: So help him Christ, and the three Machabean Princes.  
Next, it is hereby concluded, that Honesty among the Levellers shall be counted for the best Policy, and Simplicity shall bear up the Buckler against a whole Junto of Machavil, and politics Woodbee.  
Be it also hereby known to all the gallant common soldiers, serving under the excellent Fairfax, and faithful Crumwel, that however their Grandee Masters have ill repaid their labours, yet we their Captains have from time to time carefully enrolled their valour, sufferings, scorns, nakedness and losses in the Register of Equity, man by man; and do by these presents engage our honours for a full requital, far above indemnity with money, bays, and thanks, according to the degrees of each man's desert in War; provided that the said soldier go on as he hath begun, stand to our Colours, and appear at our Summons, according to the Rights of the SEA-GREEN ORDER.  
Lastly, Be it enacted and declared, That whosoever shall jeer, baffle, or vilify our Colours, or reproach the Wearer— shall be censured an Anti-Leveller, a Malignant Revolter, Grandee Creature, or Dammee Varlet, and to be registered by the SEA-GREEN Scout in the Roul of justice and Revenge; but whoever shall constantly and habitually affect us, and our Colours, shall be admitted into our favour, whether gallant Cavalier, or valiant Reformadoe.  
Ordered that this be read in the two Houses twice a week, as also once a week in the Army, and every Parish Church for a month. Signed by Captain Mordecay. Love Right, Secretary General to the three Machabean Princes, and the noble State of Levellers
