A34470	A blow at the serpent; or a gentle answer from Madiston prison to appease wrath advancing it self against truth and peace at Rochester. Together with the work of four daies disputes, in the Cathedral of Rochester, in the Countie of Kent, betweene several ministers, and Richard Coppin, preacher there, to whom very many people frequentlie came to hear, and much rejoyced at the way of truth and peace he preached, at the same whereof the ministers in those parts began to ring in their pulpits, saying, this man blasphemeth, ... Whereupon arose the disputes, at which were some magistrates, some officers, and souldiers, peaceable and well-minded, and very many people from all parts adjacent, before whom the truth was confirm'd and maintained. The whole matter written by the hearers, on both sides. Published for the confirmation and comfort of all such as receive the truth in the love of it. By Richard Coppin, now in Maidston Prison for the witness of Jesus. Twenty five articles since brought against him by the ministers, as blasphemie, and his answers to them, how he was	Coppin, Richard, fl. 1646-1659.	1656 (1656)	Wing C6094; ESTC R215454	85,329	113

which I know and which you say is a mysterie Secondly consider the death you are to be raised from and that is the death that all men died in the state of the first Adam and do still die by reason of sin from which death all shall be raised to life in Christ the second Adam Now the wages of sin is death and that death which sin doth bring on man is the same death that Christ doth raise him from For you who were dead in sins and trespasses hath he quickned and if ye be risen with Christ seek the things which are above where Christ siteth at the right hand of God which is spoken in the Presentence and not in the Future and cannot be meant of the rising of our corporal bodies after laid in the grave which I question whether those that talk so much of that do yet know this spiritual Resurrection which I hereby declare to you all and if any one can tell us of another Resurrection of the same body of flesh blood and bones again as it was let him declare that as I have declared this for I denie nothing which by any other can be proved but the Scripture saith That flesh and blood shall not inherit the Kingdome of God neither doth corruption inherit incorruption therefore blessed and happy are all they which have their part in this first Resurrection for of such the second death hath no power but they live and raign with Christ Thirdly As there is a bodie to be raised so there is also a bodie to be destroyed and that is the bodie of sin and death which is to die and no more to live For if Christ be in you the body is dead because of sin but the spirit is life because of righteousnesse that is of Christ And in Rom 6. there is a Resurrection from sin to newnesse of life spoken of by the Apostle that like as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorie of the Father even so should we walk before him in newnesse of life for if we have been planted together in the likenesse of his death we shall be also in the likenesse of his Resurrection knowing this that our old man is crucified with him that the bodie of sin might be destroyed that henceforth we should not serve sin Rosewell 2 Tim. 2. 18. But there were false Prophets among them as there are false Teachers among you which say the Resurrection is past already and so bring in damnable errors to overthrow the saith and we see there were some in the Apostles daies which did deny a corporal Resurrection Coppin Do you instance that Scripture as to a corporal Resurrection which speaks nothing of it you do add to that Scripture the word corporal and you know the punishment of him that addeth thereto or diminisheth therefrom Again I do not say the Resurrection is past already for it is not yet come to you nor many more therefore your Scripture is to no purpose against me for I say it is to come as well as alreadie come and that it shall continue until the Day of Judgment be ended or till all that shall be are raised and set free in this spiritual Resurrection from death hell or the grave in which they lie imprisoned and buried by reason of sin but the Sadduces who denie the Resurrection hold there is neither Angel nor Spirit and that do not I. Rosewell I shall prove the Resurrection of the body from Job 19. Where Job saith He shall see God with those eyes at the last day 1 Cor. 15. Paul saith If the dead rise not then is our preaching vain and your faith is vain and you are yet in your sins And Job saith Though wormes destroy his bodie yet in this flesh in this bodie shall I see God which doth clearlie prove a corporal Resurrection but I shall give him rope till night Coppin Add not to the Scripture for there is no such bodily Resurrection spoken of as you declare 1 Cor. 15. 12. so on pray see friends Paul doth not speak of a corporal Resurrection but tells them of the Resurrection of the Dead and saith That if Christ be not risen then all our Preaching and Believing is in vain and we are yet in our sins Clearlie intimating that the Resurrection of Christ doth assure them of their being raised from sin to walk with God in newnesse of life For saith he you are sown a natural body but you are raised a spiritual body and a spirituall bodie is not flesh and bones therefore not the same bodie as you say it is and would have it to be Rosewell There shall be eyes hands and feet Coppin That there shall be eyes hands and feet you are yet to prove Rosewell Job saith He shall see God with those eyes and that in this his flesh he shall see God Againe the Scripture saith That they which are alive and them which are dead shall be raised and all of them shall meet the Lord only this corruptible must put on incorruptible and this mortall must put on immortalitie Again the bodies of Believers are the Temples of the Holy Ghost 1 Cor. 6. and the Temples of Jesus Christ therefore the same bodies shall be raised at the last day Coppin You also bring Job to prove a Corporal Resurrection of flesh blood and bones and that this Resurrection and seeing God with those eyes was not to be till after the death of his visible bodie as you say but I say here is a mysterie and a spiritual sense to be understood in these words Job 19. where he saith I know my Redeemer liveth and that at the last day I shall s●e him stand upon the earth and though after my skin worms destroy this body yet in my flesh shall I see God whom I shall see for my selfe and mine eyes shall behold and not anothers though my reins be consumed within me But to understand this you must know how he is the Redeemer and when also what is meant by the last day and the earth which he shall stand upon and what eyes shall behold him c. Now his Redeemer was the Lord and did then live in Job though he knew it not that he should see him at the last day is a truth but what this last day was and the manner how he should see him that he knew not till the time came that he saw him in himselfe therefore you shall find that Job was then in darkness and under much affliction uttering words without knowledg for which he was reproved first by the Prophet Elihu secondlie by the Lord thirdlie he confest it first the Prophet reproved him Job 33. Chap. 35. 16. Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vaine he multiplieth words without knowledg Job 38. 1. 2. Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said who is this that darkeneth counsell by words without knowledg gird up now thy loynes like a

what I have spoken or acted at any time against this present Government but I shall prove that he hath for he that shall oppose contend against or speak evil of any Law or thing contained in this present Government he is an enemie to it but this man Mr. Rosewell doth contend against speak evil of and stand in opposition to that freedome and libertie of the people in the exercise of their Religion towards God which this present Government doth allow them therefore is he an enemie to the present Government which I prove for the Lord Protector in his Instrument of Government signed by him in the Year fifty three doth declare That all persons professing Faith in God by Jesus Christ though they differ in judgement from the Doctrine Worship or Discipline publikely held forth shall not be restrained from but protected in the exercise of their Faith and practise of their Religion so far as it extends not to Popery and Prelacy nor to the disturbance of the Publike Peace nor licentious practises To all which your judgment have extended and therefore this libertie do you oppose and speak evil of as the people all may witnesse CHAP. XVI The return of all men home to God by Christ the broad and narrow way and who finds it that the Doctrine of Gods love in saving all men is the only means to keep men from sin AGain whereas you did declare that this Doctrine of the love of God to all men did give way to licentiousnesse and wickednesse I denie and this I have before sufficientlie cleared to you in these Disputes that it is the onlie means to keep them from sin and this was that which Christ did command his Disciples to declare to all the world for that end even Gods eternal love in Christ to poor sinners as the way and means that God had appointed to bring home to him all that were banished from him according as 't is written 2 Sam. 14. 14. For we must needs die and are as water spilt upon the ground which cannot be gathered up again neither doth God respect any person yet doth he devise means that his banished be not expel'd from him and this way and means is the Lord Jesus who was set up from everlasting to be the way the truth and the light yea a witnesse a Leader and a Commander to all people that when we were enemies to him by wicked works and so dead in sins and trespasses yet then did God in his Son reconcile us all to himself and made us accepted in the beloved Jesus that as there was a broad way in which all men did fall from God and did become strangers to God so there is also a narrow way and a living way even Christ himself in which all men shall come to God again and indeed there is but few a verie small number that can finde this way nay so few that it is but onlie one and that is God in Christ who is himself as a Son the way to himself as the Father which none can know or find but himself for so it is written That no man knows the Son but the Father nor no man knows the Father but the Son and he to whom the Son shall reveal him and so there is but onlie one even Christ in all men that is the way for all men to come to God by You read of ten Lepers that were cleansed and but one which did returne to give glorie to God then said Christ Where are the other nine Now they were all cleansed and but one that saw it and he glorified God and that one was Christ in him that did see it that gave glorie to God for him and all the rest that were cleansed and so there is none but Jesus Christ that can glorifie God in all or that can trulie pray and give thanks to God for all for he onlie is accepted of the Father and all men as one in him are accepted of the Father with him for he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one for which cause he is not ashamed to call them Brethren and that he might gather together in one all things in Christ of things in heaven and things on earth even in him and I in them and thou in me saith Christ that we all may be made perfect in one Rosewell Captain Smith will you let him go on any further Captain Smith We cannot deny him he will claime a promise for it Coppin Hear I beseech you for I am now declaring the gathering together of all men in Christ to be by him brought home to the Father and therefore mark what the Scripture saith I will saith Christ seek that which was lost and bring again that which was driven away and will bind up that which was broken and will strengthen that which was sick and so bring them health and cure and I will cure them and will cause their captivity to return and will build them up as at the first and so cleanse them from all iniquitie Now that all men sined fell and were lost in Adam none will denie because the Scripture saith it but that all men that sined and were lost in Adam shall again be redeemed and made righteous by Christ that you call blasphemie though proved by the same Scripture and let the people judg who perverts Scripture of us two Christ tells you he came to seek and to save that which was lost then as in Adam all die even so in Christ shall all be made alive yea the same all that were lost in the one are found in the other and the Lord Jesus did declare himselfe to all men for this purpose and did pray for them which were enemies to him and had imbrued their hands in his blood Father forgive them they know not what they do and my little children saith John these things I write unto you that you sin not and if any man sin we have an Advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous who is a Propitiation for our sins and not for ours only but for the sins of the whole world and this saith Paul is good and acceptable to God the Father who will have all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth woe but will God have all men saved and will he save all that was lost woe but man will not have it so for he would have but some of them saved though the Lord saith he will have all and now for shame say no more that Coppin onlie will have all men saved but say also that the Lord will have all men saved since the Scripture is so clear for it and then Lord who hath resisted thy will Lord let thy will be done for of thee and through thee and to thee are all things Rosewell He saith all men shall be saved but doth not know when Coppin I say
