But this yet giveth me a passage to consider somewhat more nearly of those thy children of the Gods, I confess my self to be one of them whom the Lord hath instructed in the true and most holy doctrine of his Gospel by his faithful servant John Calvin: I will never blush indeed to confess my self to be his scholar, & one amongst many thousands of men whom he hath gained to Christ.

For I pray thee, of what modesty is it, or also of conscience and honesty, to accuse Calvin, if nothing else, yet verily of all others a most bitter enemy to the Libertines, and all our Churches professing one and the self same doctrine of wickedness, as if we made GOD the Author of Sin?
