I have always impugned the Roman hierarchy, but I have never had the intention of opposing the ecclesiastical polity of your Anglican Church. I wish and hope that the sacred and holy society of your bishops may continue and maintain forever the right and title to the government of the Church with all Christian equity and moderation.

— Theodore Beza

More quotes by Theodore Beza

Now you, the whole world's ornament, the Queen
On whose behalf both winds and oceans fight,
Rule on with God, far from ambition seen,
And succour still the pious with your might,
That England you, you England long hold dear,
Whom good men love as much as wicked fear.

If we must put up with what this impious man [Sebastian Castellio] has vomited forth in his preface, what remains to us intact of the Christian religion? ... We must wait for another revelation.
