The Reformers, therefore, as instruments in the hands of God, in delivering the Church from bondage to prelates, did not make it a tumultuous multitude, in which every man was a law to himself, free to believe, and free to do what he pleased.

  • -- Charles Hodge 霍奇

因此,改革家们,作为上帝手中的工具,把教会从奴役中解救出来,使其摆脱教士的束缚,并没有使它成为一群喧闹的群众。在这群群众中,每个人都是自己的法律,自由地信仰,自由地做自己喜欢做的事。
