O weigh it well and with a religious heart, and let neither popery tell you of multitude, nor Anabaptists of fewness and paucity, but ever look you for truth, be they many or few, and let that be the issue. For proof, there is too much to be recited now, that many may err, and many hold truth, therefore neither the one number, nor the other any rule to a Christian conscience.

Gervase Babington, Comfortable notes upon the books of Exodus and Leviticus, as before upon Genesis Gathered and laid down still in this plain manner, for the good of them that cannot use better helps, and yet are careful to read the Scriptures, and very desirous to find the comfort in them. ... With a table of the principal matters contained in this book (London: Thomas Chard, 1604), p. 350.
