John of Leiden
Menno Simons (1496-1561)
There are already in our times three distinct Faiths, which have a large following, the Lutheran, Zwinglian and Anabaptist; and a fourth is well on the way to birth which will dispense with external preaching, ceremonies, sacraments, ban and office as unnecessary, and which seek solely to gather among all peoples an invisible, spiritual Church in the unity of the Spirit and of faith, to be governed wholly by the eternal, invisible Word of God, without external means, as the apostolic Church was governed before its apostasy, which occurred after the death of the apostles.
