"If Men allow themselves this Liberty of Allegorizing, we may at last Allegorize Religion into nothing but Fancy, and say that the (second) Resurrection is past already. How much safer it is to keep to the Letter of Scripture, when for us to do so is so consistent with the Analogy of Faith?" - Increase Mather (published 1709) (p. 275)
