“And, oh, how sweet and pleasant it is to the truly spiritual eye to see several sorts of believers, several forms of Christians in the school of Christ, every one learning their own lesson, performing their own peculiar service, and knowing, owning, and loving one another in their several places… For this is the true ground of love and unity, not that such a man walks and does just as I do, but because I feel the same Spirit and life in him… And this is far more pleasing to me than if he walked in just that track wherein I walk.” – Isaac Penington, 1690
