--LORD BACON.
* * * * *
The Bible, I say the Bible only, is the religion of
Protestants.... There is no safe certaintie but of Scripture
only, for any considering man to build upon. This therefore,
and this only I have reason to beleeve; this I will professe;
according to this I will live, and for this I will not only
willingly, but even gladly loose my life, though I should be
sorry that Christians should take it from me. Propose me
anything out of this book, and require whether I believe it or
no, and secure it never so incomprehensible to humane reason,
I will subscribe it hand and heart, as knowing no
demonstration can be stronger than this, God hath said so,
therefore it is true. In other things I will take no man's
libertie of judgment from him; neither shall any man take mine
from me. I will think no man the worse man nor the worse
Christian. I will love no man the lesse for differing in
opinion with me.
