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.

And when we have once been watered with the holy Ghost, then will that blood be ever fresh and never dry. For it is not corruptible, in as much as we be washed and cleansed with it before God.1 Therefore let us so put the thing in ure which is spoken of by Saint Peter, as it may besprinkle our souls. As how? Even by taking hold by faith, of the inestimable benefit which is brought us by our Lord Jesus Christ. And although we be full of filth and uncleanness: yet doth not God fail to take us into his favour, because the blood that was once shed for our salvation, is sufficient to wash out all our spots at this day.2 Thus much for one point.
