Feast of Augustine, first Archbishop of Canterbury, 605
Meditation:
Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the
Thessalonians, for they received the message with great
eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what
Paul said was true.
-- Acts 17:11 (NIV)

Quotation:
I am verily persuaded that the Lord has more Truth yet to
break forth out of His holy Word. For my part, I cannot
sufficiently bewail the Condition of the Reformed Churches,
who are come to a Period in Religion and will go at present no
farther than the instruments of their Reformation. The
Lutheran can't be drawn to go beyond what Luther saw; and the
Calvinists, you see, stick fast where they were left by that
great man of God, who yet saw not all things... I beseech you,
remember, 'tis an Article of your Church Covenant, that you be
ready to receive whatever Truth shall be made known to you
from the written Word of God.
... John Robinson (1576?-1625) [1620], quoted in The
History of the Puritans, or Protestant Noncomformists,
Daniel Neal, Harper, 1844, vol. 1, p. 269
