Calvin tells us, Quod nulla tentatione vel gravius, vel periculosius fideles percellit Satan, that the Devil cannot assault a believer with a temptation more dangerous. And a little after he saith, It is so much 1the deadlier, by how much commoner it is then any other, Rarissimus est cujus non interdum animus hac cogitation feriatur, unde tibi salus nisi ex Dei electione? Electionis autem quae tibi revelatio? Quae si apud quempiam semel invaluit, aut diris tormentis miserum perpetuo exeruciat, aut reddit penitus attonitum. So ordinary is the temptation, that he who is at all times free from it is a rare man (we are to conceive that he speaks of those that believe absolute reprobation:) and so dangerous it is, that if it get strength, he which is under it, is either miserably tormented, or mightily astonished. And a little after this, he saith again. Ergo si naufragium timemus, sollicité ab hoc scopulo cavendum, in quem nunquam sine exitio impingitur, He that will not wrack his soul must keep from this rock.

And a little after this, he saith againe. Ergo si naufragium timemus, sollicité ab hoc scopulo cavendum, in quem nunquam sine exitio impingitur, He that will not wrack his soule must keep from this rock.
