Some eminent witnesses of God's truth believe that before the downfall of Antichrist [which virtually all Reformers construed to be Romanism], England must once again bow down her fair neck to his proud usurping yoke and foot.

The Christian church [in its true identity] does not persecute; any more than a lily scratches the thorns, or a lamb pursues and tears the wolves, or a turtledove hunts the hawks and eagles, or a chaste and modest virgin fights and scratches like whores and harlots.

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

It is only the Lord who is able to give [unbelievers] repentance and recover them out of Satan's snare.

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

Sometimes the truth is stupid.

This scripture [Romans 13:1-6] is wrested from the scope of God's Spirit, and the nature of the place, and cannot truly be interpreted to mean that the power of the civil magistrate may be exercised in spiritual or soul matters.
