It is not… by an earthly leader, by a
worldly hierarchy, by an uniformity of worship, of liturgy, by crosses, miters,
censers, it is not by all these things that the unity of the Church is
manifested; she leaves to the world these miserable elements. The true Church
of Christ has no other bond than the unity of her faith and confession, in love
and holiness of life. With her, all externals, which men regard of so high
importance, are altogether secondary. All is free for her, saving her Jesus.
When Rome points to her false and dead unity, the Church of Christ is to
present a true and living unity; a UNITY and not an UNIFORMITY.
