Here is a quote for Pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892):

"That old truth that Calvin preached, that Augustine preached, that Paul preached, is the truth that I must preach today, or else be false to my conscience and m God. I cannot shape the truth; I know of no such thing as paring off the rough edges of doctrine. John Knox's gospel is my gospel. that which thundered through Scotland must thunder through England again." (From Iain Murray's The Forgotten Spurgeon)
