"Neither would I that you should esteem the reformation and care of religion less to appertain to you, because you are not kings, rulers, judges, nobles, nor in authority. Beloved brethren, you are God's creatures, created and formed to his own image and similitude... And this is the point wherein I say all men are equal: that as all be descended from Adam, 'by whose sin and disobedience death entered into the world', so it behooves all that shall obtain life to be engrafted in one: that is, in the Lord Jesus, who, 'being the just servant, doth by his knowledge justify many': to wit, all that unfeignedly believe in him."
-- letter from Geneva to the Commons of Scotland, 1558
