Quote by John Milton
A man may be a heretic in the truth; and if he believe things only

A man may be a heretic in the truth; and if he believe things only because his pastor says so, or the assembly so determines, without knowing other reason, though his belief be true, yet the very truth he holds becomes his heresy. – John Milton
