But yet if thou think this Enemy Bolseck is more to be believed then those that lived with Calvin, and the City of Geneva, that had continual access to him, I will give thee such a Testimony as shall shame the Papists, that have a spark of modesty.

Florimundus Raimundus a Papist of Bordeaux (or the Jesuit Richeome that wrote in his name) writing for the Pope and against Calvin, hath these words of him. [Under a dry and lean body he had a sharp and lively wit, ready in answering; bold in attempting; a great faster; even from his youth, whether for his health to overcome the head-ache, or for his studies—There is scarce a man found that ever matched Calvin in Labours: for the space of twenty three years, in which he remained in the Episcopacy of Geneva, he preached every day once, and twice on the Lords day of times. And every week he read public Lectures of Divinity (besides) and every Friday he was at the conference of the Pastors: The rest of his time he spent either in writing Books, or answering letters.]
