I do not condone hostility toward any church simply to vent personal malice or umbrage.

But who is to decide who truly fears the Lord? The magistrate has no power to enforce religious demands. The laws of the First Table of the Ten Commandments are not regulations for a civil society or a political order. They belong to the realm of religion, not politics.

Civil government is an ordinance of God, to conserve the civil peace of a people, so far as concerns their bodies and goods.

Having bought truth dear, we must not sell it cheap, not the least grain of it for the whole world.

When in doubt, use nutrition first.

We find not in the Gospel, that Christ hath anywhere provided for the uniformity of churches, but only for their unity.

God requireth not an uniformity of Religion to be inacted and inforced in any civill state.
