"Condemn no man for not thinking as you think: Let everyone enjoy the full and free liberty of thinking for himself. Let everyone use his own judgment, since every man must give an account of himself to God. Abhor every approach, in any kind or degree, to persecution. If you cannot reason or persuade a man into the truth, never attempt to force him into it. If love will not compel him to come in, leave him to God, the Judge of all."
— John Wesley, "Advice to People Called Methodist" (1745)
