“It is the glory of our system as Protestants, that we regard the Bible as ‘the only infallible rule of faith and practice;’ that we consider the authority of those who bear the sacred office as wholly ministerial; that is, that they are authorized to declare nothing but what the Master has said; to dispense nothing but what He has instituted; and, in judicial decisions, to apply no laws but those which he has promulged for the government of his spiritual family.” — Samuel Miller, The Sacred Office Magnified (1836), p. 17
