“human laws must be made according to the general laws of nature and without contradicting any positive law in Scripture. Otherwise they are ill made.”
― Richard Hooker, The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity In Modern English, Vol. 1

“The different ways in which God may do good to His Church are more numerous than we can imagine, and we cannot presume to judge which is best until, having first seen what He has in fact done, we may know it to be the best. If we do otherwise, surely we go too far and forget our place.”
― Richard Hooker, The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity In Modern English, Vol. 1

“I find that wise divines have always taught that articles of faith and duties necessary to salvation are either explicitly taught in Scripture or easily deduced from it,”
― Richard Hooker, The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity In Modern English, Vol. 1

“Doctrines such as the unity of God, the trinity of Persons, salvation in Christ, the resurrection of the body, eternal life, the judgment to come, and so forth have all existed since the beginning of the Church, and must be believed to the end.”
― Richard Hooker, The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity In Modern English, Vol. 1
