NATHANIEL WARD

We [Puritans] have been reputed a Colony of wild Opinionists, swarmed into a remote wilderness to find elbow-room for our fanatic Doctrines and practices.

They which divide in Religion, divide in God; they who divide in him, divide beyond Genus Generalissimum, where there is no reconciliation, without atonement -- that is, without uniting in him, who is One, and in his Truth, which is also one.

He that is willing to tolerate any Religion, or discrepant way of Religion, besides his own, unless it be in matters meerly indifferent, either doubts of his own, or is not sincere in it.

That State that will give Liberty of Conscience in matters of Religion, must give Liberty of Conscience and Conversation in their Moral Laws, or else the Fiddle will be out of tune, and some of the strings crack.

There is talk of an universall Toleration, I would talke as loud as I could against it … Toleration of all hellish Errors, or how they shall make an universall Reformation, but by making Christ's Academy the Devil's University
