Life

Abraham Delosea was the son of the turner Jacob Delosea († October 21, 1665) and his wife Judith (née Cordier). He had two brothers:

Delosea was appointed pastor in Köniz in 1641 and on March 6, 1647 as a parish assistant to the Bern Minster , where he also acquired citizenship . On February 18, 1659 he was promoted to the second pastorate; he was also the actuary (keeper of the minutes) of the church convention in Bern. Delosea was initially caught up in denominationalism , but later advocated freedom of conscience and tolerance . In a petition from 1670 that he co-authored, the authorities were asked to refrain from using force against the Anabaptists , since belief is a matter of conscience and conscience belongs to God; this led to his impeachment and a transfer to Seeberg until he became second pastor in Thun on August 15, 1672 and stayed there until his death. Abraham Delosea was married to Maria (born February 1, 1620 in Bern; † February 1702), daughter of Kornelius Henzi (1594–1664), provisional in Burgdorf , schoolmaster in Zofingen , pastor in Erlach and since September 20, 1641 in Madiswil in Madiswil and later dean in Langenthal .
