Sermons upon Deuteronomy
The sermons of M. John Calvin upon the fifth book of Moses called Deuteronomy faithfully gathered word for word as he preached them in open pulpit; together with a preface of the ministers of the Church of Geneva, and an admonishment made by the deacons there. Also there are annexed two profitable tables, the one containing the chief matters; the other the places of Scripture herein alleged. Translated out of French by Arthur Golding.The sermons of M.

So then let it content us that our Lord allureth us to him, and that the death & passion of our Lord Jesus Christ together with his righteousness is set afore us, so as we know that by §10that means we may be reconciled unto God, to the end that our sins be not imputed unto us, but that we may be acceptable unto him. Seeing that this is set down unto us: let us take hold of Gods faithfulness which Moses speaks of here, and let us not think that God offereth us such a benefit to deceive us, but that he doth it to the end that we should glorify him in the midst of our miseries, and that although we be silly frail creatures: yet we may say that the life of Jesus §20Christ belongeth unto us, and that we be already lifted up to sit with him in the kingdom of heaven.1 Thus ye see what we have to bear in mind concerning the word Faithful.

Seing that this is set down vnto vs: let vs take hold of Gods faithfulnesse which Moses speaks of here, and let vs not thinke that God offereth vs such a benefite to deceiue vs, but that he doth it to the ende that we should glorifie him in the middes of our miseries, and that although wee bee silie fraile creatures: yet we may say that the life of Iesus §20Christ belongeth vnto vs, and that we be already lifted vp to sit with him in the kingdome of heauen.1 Thus ye see what we haue to beare in mind concerning the woord Faithfull.
