Rebel Angels

Rebel Angels is a crew on the Sage Ocean.

Public Statement
Who first seduced them to that foul revolt? The infernal Serpent; he it was, whose guile stirred up with envy and revenge, decieved The Mother of Mankind, what time his pride had cast him out from heaven, with all his host of Rebel Angels, by whose aid aspiring to set himself in glory above his peers, he trusted to have equaled the most high, if he oopposed; and with ambitious aim agaisnt the throne and monarchy of God raised impious war in heaven and battle proud with vain attempt. Him the almighty power hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal sky with hideous ruin and combustion down to bottomless perdition, there to dwell....

O Prince, O Chief of many throned powers, that led them to war under his conduct, and in dreadful deeds, fearless, endangered heavens perpetual king; and put to proof his high supremacy, whether upheld by strength, chance or fate, too well I see and rue the dire event, that with sad overthrow and foul defeat has lost us heaven, and all his mighty host in horrible destruction laid this low, as far as Gods and heavenly essences can perish; for the mind and spirit remains invincible, and vigour soon returns, though all our glory extinct, and happy state here swallowed up in endless misery....

To reign is worth ambition though in hell: better to reign in hell then serve in heaven. But wherefor let we then our faithful friends, the associates and copartners of our loss, lie this astonishment on the oblivious pool and call them not to share with us their part in this unhappy mansion, or once more with rallied arms to try what may be yet regained in heaven, or what more lost in hell?
