		The case of the Christian Church is entirely of the same description; for as Paul there declares that the Jews are sanctified by their parents, so he elsewhere say s that the children of Christians derive sanctification from their parents.
		Therefore when he was pleased with his doctrine to institute baptism, that he might give the greater authority to his institution, he sanctified it in his own person, and that at the most befitting time, namely, the commencement of his ministry.

		The true religion, which is taught in the Scriptures, and ought to be universally maintained, they readily permit both themselves and others to be ignorant of, and to treat with neglect and contempt.
		Why, but because their belly is their God, their kitchen is their religion; deprived of which they consider themselves no longer as Christians, or even as men.
		The “Institutes,” published at Basle in 1536, contain a comprehensive statement of the beliefs of that school of Protestant theology which bears Calvin’s name; and in this “Dedication” we have Calvin’s own summing up of the essentials of his creed.

		Seeing then that among philosophers religion holds the first place, and that the same thing has always been observed with the universal consent of nations, Christian princes and magistrates may be ashamed of their heartlessness if they make it not their care.
		To very many it seems that among Christians the office of magistrate is superfluous, because they cannot piously implore his aid, inasmuch as they are forbidden to take revenge, cite before a judge, or go to law.
		Christians should always feel disposed rather to give up part of their right than to go into court, out of which they can scarcely come without a troubled mind, a mind inflamed with hatred of their brother.

	Institutes of the Christian Religion
		BUT though experience testifies that a seed of religion is divinely sown in all, scarcely one in a hundred is found who cherishes it in his heart, and not one in whom it grows to maturity so far is it from yielding fruit in its season.
		But since this shadow of religion (it scarcely even deserves to be called a shadow) is false and vain, it is easy to infer how much this confused knowledge of God differs from that piety which is instilled into the breasts of believers, and from which alone true religion springs.
		If true religion is to beam upon us, our principle must be, that it is necessary to begin with heavenly teaching, and that it is impossible for any man to obtain even the minutest portion of right and sound doctrine without being a disciple of Scripture.

	Calvin: Institutes of the Christian Religion
		Religion which is based upon superstition or the will of man, cannot possibly please God, for the worship and service they perform for their god, is based upon their false premise of God’s being.
		In Christians terms, there are some who believe miracles were for the Apostle age and God will not and does not do them today (and if they cannot deny a miracle they attribute it to the devil), and there are some who believe that any "miracle" (however small) must be a special intervention from God.
		It is said that when the Christians were thrown to the lions (in the Roman arenas as a form of sport), by their steadfast conviction in what they believed, they actually presented a powerful witness to the spectators.

		Such are the fruits which their giddy spirit produces, that repentance, which in every Christian man lasts as long as life, is with them completed in a few short days.
		For the life of Christians ought ever to be tempered with frugality and sobriety, so that the whole course of it should present some appearance of fasting.
		More truly may we say, that the life of a Christian man is constant study and exercise in mortifying the flesh, until it is certainly slain, and the Spirit of God obtains dominion in us.

		all civil magistrates were strangers to the profession of Christianity, is a mistake, for want of considering the great distinction, and the nature of the difference, between the ecclesiastical and civil power.
		For I do not allow men to make laws respecting religion and the worship of God now, any more than I did before: though I approve of civil government, which provides that the true religion which is contained in the law of God, be not violated, and polluted by public blasphemies, with impunity.
		The first duty of subjects towards their magistrates is to entertain the most honourable sentiments of their function, which they know to be a jurisdiction delegated to them from God, and on that account to esteem and reverence them as God's ministers and vicegerents.

	Theology Today - Vol 19, No. 2 - July 1962 - BOOK REVIEW - Institutes Of the Christian Religion
		The delay is due partly to the tardiness of the reviewer, partly to his conviction that this type of book demands something else than an impressionistic judgment, and that its qualities and defects may not rightly be appraised, nor even detected, until it has been perused for some time.
		The second part of the Introduction is devoted to an analysis of the Institutes and a theological evaluation of the same, which at times turn to the panegyric, and would call for serious reservations, especially when Calvin's doctrinal statements are pitched against other theological systems.
		Comparisons between the theology of the Institutes and Medieval doctrines are painfully unfair to the latter, either because the editor bears a positive grudge against Scholasticism, or because he is not quite familiar with it.

		There is no early Christian writer who does not admit in distinct terms that the sacred symbols of the Supper are bread and wine, although, as has been said, they sometimes distinguish them by various epithets, in order to recommend the dignity of the mystery.
		And yet as Satan, by means of turbulent spirits, is still, in the present day, exerting himself to the utmost to bring dishonour on this doctrine by all kinds of calumny and reproach, it is right to assert and defend it with the greatest care.
		If they answer, that we must look to the end or use for which symbols were instituted, I admit it; but still they will not disencumber themselves of the absurdity which their error drags along with it, viz., that the bread is blood, and the wine is body.

		As a persecuted Protestant, Calvin found it necessary to travel from place to place, and at Angoulême in 1534 he began the work of systematizing Protestant thought in his Institutes of the Christian Religion, considered one of the most influential theological works of all time.
		In the Institutes Calvin diverged from Catholic doctrine in the rejection of papal authority and in acceptance of justification by faith alone, but many of his other positions, including the fundamental doctrine of predestination, had been foreshadowed by Catholic reformers and by the Protestant thought of Martin Luther and Martin Bucer.
		In 1536, Calvin was persuaded by Guillaume Farel to devote himself to the work of the Reformation at Geneva, and there Calvin instituted the most thoroughgoing development of his doctrine.
