Roger Williams refused to continue as pastor on the grounds that there was . . . " . . . no regularly-constituted church on earth, nor any person authorized to administer any Church ordinance: nor could there be until, new apostles are sent by the great Head of the Church, for whose coming, he is seeking."
Roger Williams (1603? - 1683)
