English: "As touching the doctrine taught by our ministers, and as touching the administration of sacraments used in our churches, we are bold to affirm that there is no realm this day upon the face of the earth that hath them in greater purity; yea (we must speak the truth whomsoever we offend), there is none (no realm we mean) that hath them in the like purity. For all others (how sincere that ever the doctrine be, that by some is taught), retain in their churches and the ministers thereof some footsteps of Antichrist, and some dregs of papistry; but we (all praise to God alone) have nothing within our churches that ever flowed from that Man of Sin." -- John Knox, 1566
