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.

Alas poor fellow why doest thou trouble thy self? Thou •eest here is no help for thee: Nay thou shalt be made believe that thou beganst the quarrel and that thou wert the author of the riot, and so thou shalt be punished thy self. And therefore thou wer• best to put up the blows which §40thou hast without farther pursuing of thy cause. The Judges all this while will not say a word, they will show some good countenance like Idols, but yet notwithstanding they give their consent unto such wrongful dealing, and they are partakers of such treachery, that he which is molested and afflicted, after he hath spent his money and taken great pains, goeth away and is mocked. Behold in what estate we are. And this wickedness is ordinarily practised. And §50therefore we see that this law wherein our lord declareth that he will have him which complaineth, heard, and his case tried, is not superfluous.
