Tucker makes a powerful argument for freedom of thought in religious matters. "Every christian has, and must have a right to judge for himself of the true sense and meaning of all gospel truths. And to make any article of faith, or mode of worship essential to the christian character, and a term of admission to christian privileges, not made so in the gospel, is manifestly an unwarrantable, and rebellious usurpation of ecclesiastical power."
