Note 14 — Chapter IV · • The Contributions of Independency
Reading edition
The Seekers were thus described by a contemporary English pen: “Many have wrangled so long about the Church that at last they have quite lost it, and go under the name of Expecters and Seekers, and do deny that there is any Church, or any true minister, or any ordinances; some of them affirm the Church to be in the wilderness, and they are seeking for it there; others say that it is in the smoke of the Temple, and that they are groping for it there—where I leave them praying to God.” (Paget, Heresiography; quoted in Masson, Life of Milton, Vol. III, p. 153.)
