“It is good we return unto the ancient bond of unity in the
Church of God, which was one
faith, one
baptism,
and not one
hierarchy, one
discipline;
and that we observe the league of Christians, as it was penned by our
Saviour Christ, which is in substance of doctrine this: He
that is not with us is against us;
and in things indifferent and but of circumstance this: He
that is not against us is with us.”—Lord
Bacon: Certain
Considerations touching the better Pacification and Edification of the
Church of England,
addressed to King James I.
