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.

let us understand that our sins be multiplied▪ and that GOD must therefore be more moved than ever he was. Wherefore let the same bring us to repentance, and let us not double our iniquities: for in the end, we shall find the thing by experience, which we saw even now; namely, that when the evil shall stick unto us, yea even in our marrow and in our bones, until §40we be utterly consumed. Besides this God hath other manner of means to punish us, and when he perceiveth that the usual means prevail not, then hath he other rods laid up in his storehouses; as it is sa•d in the Canticle.
