A80438 A remonstrance of the sincere and zealous protestation of Abiezer Coppe, against the blasphemous and execrable opinions recited in the act of Aug. 10. 1650. The breach whereof, the author hath (through mistake) been mis-suspected of, when he hath not been in the least guilty thereof, &c. Or, innocence (clouded with the name of transgression) wrapt up in silence; but now (a little) peeping forth from under the thick and black clouds of obloquie, arising out of the sea of malice in some, and out of weakness, ignorance, and mistake in others; who are by the author much pitied, and dearly beloved. And for their sakes primely, as also for the satisfaction of many, and information of all, this ensuing remonstrance, vindication, and attestation is published, per me, Abiezer Coppe,-de Newgate. Which is as a preamble to a farther future declaration of what he hath been, and now is; who hath been so cloathed with a cloud, that few have known him. Coppe, Abiezer, 1619-1672. 1651 (1651) Wing C6089; Thomason E621_5; ESTC R206397 4,509 9

I patiently and silently lie by the walls as having a visage more marred then any man's c. But I proceed And avowedly protest that I hate and detest yea in the presence of God protest against all those blasphemous Opinions or Tenents recited in page 980 from the thirteenth line thereof to the seven and twentieth line of pag. 981. And many or most of them I will particularly hint at As primely this I do not vainly ignorantly and blasphemously affirm my self or any other meer creature to be very God neither was this Tenent or any of the rest that follow ever mine But this I have and do affirm and shall still upon the house tops affirm and shall expire with this wholesom sound and orthodoxal opinion That God Christ is in the creature CHRIST IN YOV except you are reprobates 1 Cor. The contrary assertion is the Blaspemie of Blasphemies c. Again I disavow disown detest and protest against that Opinion which holdeth That God dwelleth in the creature and nowhere else c. I live in that sound and orthodox opinion of Omnipresencie of which I can speak feelingly knowingly powerfully whereof I formerly in the time of mine own righteousness which was * Isai as menstruous rags and in the time of my fleshly wisdom which was * 1 Cor. enmity to God spake of formally ignorantly notionally onely like a Parot in a Cage And as for the Righteousness Holiness of GOD c. I had rather be cut to pieces then speak against it for it is my Life And whatever I have spoken against Righteousness and Holiness it hath been against that righteousness of Man which is * Isai as menstruous rags c. and against that carnal mock-holiness pseud-holiness of man which is a cloak for all manner of Villany upon which the vengeance of God is and hath been poured forth c. And as for Vncleanness prophane Swearing Drunkenness Filthiness Brutishness c. I declaim against them as unholy c. As also for Lying Stealing Cozening and defrauding others my soul abhors Further I hold declare and maintain that Murther Adultery Incest Fornication Vncleanness Sodomie c. are things sinful shameful wicked impious and abominable in any person c. Or that Heaven and Happiness consisteth in the acting of these or such things and the rest as they follow in pag. 981 are things that I disown disavow and protest against I shall conclude with this Affirmation and Asseveration That there is Heaven and Hell Salvation and Damnation Heaven for all those that repent of their sins that cease to do evil and learn to do well Heaven for all them that are washt purged and cleansed by the Spirit of our God Heaven for all them that have Christ the King of Glory Eternal Majestie in them And Hell and Damnation to all that touch the apple of his eye that oppose the Lords Anointed and that do his Prophets any harm It was in my thoughts to have said something concerning the Act of May 10 but upon reading thereof I see nothing in it but what is contained in that of August and therefore my labour is saved And I shall onely adde a word or two concerning Liberty and Community As for Liberty I own none but the glorious liberty of the sons of God which I and the whole creation groans after And I do from my heart detest and protest against all Sinful liberty or that is destructive to soul or body And as for Community I own none but that Apostolical Saint-like Community spoken of in the Scriptures So far I either do or should own Community that if flesh of my flesh be ready to perish I either will or should call nothing that I have mine own if I have bread it shall or should be his else all my Religion is vain I am for dealing bread to the hungry for cloathing the naked for the breaking of every yoke for the letting of the oppressed go free I am or should be as my heavenly Father who is kinde to all loving to all even to the ungodly c. Mat. 6. I can through grace pity those that are objects of compassion and out of my poverty and penury relieve those that are in want And if this be to be vile c. Yet Know all men by these Presents That I am utterly against that Community which is sinful or destructive to soul or body Ita testor ABIEZER COPPE POSTSCRIPT I Have onely one word more and for the present I have done There are several Pamphlets extant against a People called RANTERS two whereof bear this Inscription in their brazen foreheads Published by Authority else the malice and simplicity of the Pamphleter should have been still laugh'd at onely and yet upon another account pitied by me For the present I will onely give to understand That the Pamphlets are scandalous and bespattered with Lyes and Forgeries in setting me in the front of such actions which I never did which my soul abhors such things which mine eyes never beheld such words which my tongue never spake and mine ears never heard All like that false aspersion Viz. that I was accompanied to Coventry with two she-disciples and that I lay with two women there at once Which two she-disciples were Captain Beak and other Souldiers who have hurried me from Goal to Goal where I sing Hallelujahs to the righteous Judge and lie in his bosome who is everlasting loving kindness Amen HALLELUJAH FINIS
