“Amazing Grace” Author John Newton on Reasons to Avoid Vaccination (1777)

“My times are in the Lord’s hands; I am now in health, and am not willing to bring upon myself a disorder [via inoculation], the consequences of which I cannot possibly foresee … I choose to wait [God’s] appointment, and not to rush upon even the possibility of danger without a call. … Let me fall into the hands of the Lord (for his mercies are great) and not into the hands of men.” — John Newton
