To reverence God; and to love our neighbour as ourselves: if we had only those two commandments to guide us, we should have enough.

The whole collection of Doctrines (as they are called) we reject at once, without even stopping to discuss them.

We apply to them the test suggested by Christ himself: by their fruits ye shall know them.

The fruits of Doctrines, in the past (to quote three instances only), have been the Spanish Inquisition, the Massacre of St.Bartholomew, and the Thirty Years' War--and the fruits, in the present, are dissension, bigotry, and opposition to useful reforms.

Away with Doctrines! In the interests of Christianity, away with them! We are to love our enemies; we are to forgive injuries; we are to help the needy; we are to be pitiful and courteous, slow to judge others, and ashamed to exalt ourselves.
