No school of divines first gave us the English Bible, but John Wickliffe did. No royal court discovered America, but Christopher Columbus did. No eircle of social science interpreted the laws of the universe, but Galileo did. No sovoreign or parliament saved Euglish liberties, but Oliver Cromwell did. No combination or confederacy rescued Scotlaud from political enemies, but John Knox did.
