“Let us all cordially endeavour to be united in our Christian Affections and Charity towards one another as well as true Love towards God. Let us all cordially strive to initiate, emulate, & encourage one another in everything that is commendable before God and agreeable to our conscience; and let us beware lest our differing judgments and sentiments in lesser points of religion have more influence upon us, to alienate affections from one another, than our agreement to the more substantial parts of Religion can have to unite and cement our souls together in mutual Christian Love.” — John Thomson, “An Appendix, Containing the Articles of the Church of England” (p. v), appended to An Explication of the Shorter Catechism (1749) [not yet available to read on Log College Press]
