A false religion out of the church will not hurt the church, any more than weeds in the wilderness hurt an enclosed garden, or poisons hurt the body when they are not taken, and antidotes are received against them.

God is too large to be housed under one roof.
Roger Williams
Reflect upon your own spirit, and believe Him that said it to His overzealous disciples, 'You know not what spirit you are of.'
Roger Williams
When they have opened a gap in the ... wall of separation between the Garden of the Church and the wildernes of the world, God hath ever ... made his Garden a Wildernesse.
Roger Williams
When in doubt, try nutrition first.
Roger Williams
Consider England. Within a few score years how many unsettling changes in religion has the whole kingdom made, according to the change of its rulers, in the various religions which they embraced.
Roger Williams
Men's consciences ought in no sort to be violated, urged, or constrained. And whenever men have attempted any thing by this violent course, whether openly or by secret means, the issue has been pernicious, and the cause of great and wonderful innovations in the principallest and mightiest kingdoms and countries.
Roger Williams
It is but little of the world yet that hath heard the lost estate of mankind and of a Savior, Christ Jesus and as yet the fullness of the gentiles has not come, and probably shall not until the downfall of the Papacy.
Roger Williams
Pray that no sleep may seize upon your eyes, nor slumber upon your eyelids until your thoughts have seriously, calmly, and unchangably fixed.
Roger Williams
All who are entrusted with spiritual and temporal talents must lay them out for the Lord and Master's advantage.
Roger Williams
There is no regularly constituted church of Christ on earth, nor any person qualified to administer any church ordinances nor can there be until new apostles are sent by the Great Head of the Church for whose coming I am seeking.
Roger Williams
How frequent, how constant ought we to be, like Christ Jesus our example, in doing good, especially to the souls of men and especially to the household of faith (yea, even to our enemies), when we remember that this is our seed time, of which every minute is precious, and that as our sowing is, so shall be our eternal harvest.
Roger Williams
All civil states, with their officers of justice, in their respective constitutions and administrations, are proved essentially civil, and therefore not judges, governors, or defenders of the spiritual, or Christian, state and worship.
Roger Williams
When in doubt, use nutrition first.
Roger Williams
While I deplored and denounced the incivilities of Quakerism in my day (such as the going naked in public by some at sundry times), my position regarding their religious views was, They will answer to God, at their own peril, in the great day approaching [that is, the day of divine judgment].
Roger Williams
This scripture [Romans 13:1-6] is wrested from the scope of God's Spirit, and the nature of the place, and cannot truly be interpreted to mean that the power of the civil magistrate may be exercised in spiritual or soul matters.
Roger Williams
That cannot be a true religion which needs carnal weapons to uphold it.
Roger Williams
Sometimes the truth is stupid.
Roger Williams
Having bought truth dear, we must not sell it cheap, not the least grain of it for the whole world.
Roger Williams
