"The Gospel of Jesus Christ will never have its full and proper effect upon mankind, until it is completely disentangled from every human institution. Leave it to itself—let it have fair play—clog it not with civil pains and penalties—let it stand or fall by its own intrinsic worth—let neither Kings nor Bishops lay their officious hands upon it; and then see how it will make its way among men. The greatest possible motive, by which man can be animated, is the salvation of his own soul. If his will not move us, nothing else will be of any avail."
