Does it follow that I reject all authority? Far from me such a thought. In the matter of boots, I refer to the authority of the bootmaker; concerning houses, canals, or railroads, I consult that of the architect or the engineer. For such or such special knowledge I apply to such or such a savant. But I allow neither the bootmaker nor the architect nor savant to impose his authority upon me. I listen to them freely and with all the respect merited by their intelligence, their character, their knowledge, reserving always my incontestable right of criticism and censure. I do not content myself with consulting a single authority in any special branch; I consult several; I compare their opinions, and choose that which seems to me the soundest.

So in the 15th and 16th hundreds, it pretended it was religion, and you had a huge flourishing of things like Rosicrucianism which pretended to be Christian. Swedenborgianism or whatever, which pretended to be Christian Kabbalah. Kabbalah, which pretended to be Christian and Jewish. Everybody thinks it's just Jewish, it was both, you have all these kinds of weird sects latching onto the major religion. Swabian pietism was Lutheranism by name, but it was hermeticism in practice.
