"The peace of the church and the unity of her doctrine is best conserved when it is
judged by the proportion it hath to that rule of unity which the apostles gave; that is the
creed for articles of mere belief, and the precepts of Jesus Christ, and the practical rules of
piety, which are most plain and easy, and, without controversy, set down in the Gospels
and writings of the apostles. But to multiply articles, and adopt them into the family of
faith, and to require assent to such articles which, as St. Paul's phrase is, are of doubtful
disputation, equal to that assent we give to matters of faith, is to build a tower on the top
of a bulrush; and the further the effect of such proceedings does extend, the worse they
are."-JEREMY TAYLOR.
