A blow at the serpent; or a gentle answer from Maidstone Prison to appease wrath, advancing itself against truth and peace at Rochester. Together with the work of four days disputes, in the cathedral of Rochester, in the County of Kent, between several Ministers, and Richard Coppin, Preacher there, to whom very many People frequently came to hear, and much rejoiced at the Way of Truth and Peace he Preached, at the Fame whereof the Ministers in those Parts began to ring in their Pulpits, saying, ``this man Blasphemeth,'' to deter their Parishioners from hearing him. Whereupon arose the Disputes, at which were some Magistrates, some Officers, and Soldiers, peaceable and well-minded, and very many People from all Parts adjacent, before whom the Truth was confirmed 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 Maidstone Prison for the Witness of Jes
