A Puritan is a diseased piece of Apocrypha; bind him to the Bible, and he corrupts the whole text; ignorance and fat feed are his founders; his nurses railing, rabies, and round breeches; his life is but a borrowed blast of wind; for between two religions, as between two doors, he is ever whistling; for willingly his faith allows no father; only thus his pedigree is found.
- Sir Thomas Overbury
