Institutes Of The Christian Religion Vol 2 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Institutes of the Christian Religion, Vol. 2 It is sufficient to refer to the very remarkable prophecy of Isaiah, (is. Liii. 4, in which he foretells that he was smitten for our iniquities that the chastisement of our peace was upon him that as a priest he was made an Offering for sin that by his stripes we are healed that as all like lost sheep have gone astray, it pleased the Lord to bruise him and put him to grief, that he might bear our iniquities. After hearing that Christ was divinely appointed to bring relief to miserable sinners, whoso overleaps these limits gives too much indulgence to a foolish curiosity.

Excerpt from Institutes of the Christian Religion, Vol. 1 of 2 I should indeed be ill requited for my labour, if I did not con tent myself with the approbation of God alone, despising equally the foolish and perverse judgments of ignorant men, and the calumnies and detractions of the wicked. For though God hath wholly devoted my mind to study the enlargement Of his kingdom, and the promotion of general usefulness; and I have the testimony of my own conscience, of angels, and of God himself, that, since I undertook the Ofiice of a teacher in the Church, I have had no other object in view than to profit the Church by maintaining the pure doctrine of godliness; yet I suppose there is no man more slandered or calumniated than myself. When this Preface was actually in the press, I had certain information, that at Augsburg, where the States of the Emmre were assembled, a report had been circulated of my defection to popery, and received with unbecoming eager ness in the courts of the princes. This is the gratitude of those who cannot be unacquainted with the numerous proofs of my constancy, which not only refute such a foul calumny, but, with all equitable and humane judges, ought to preserv me from it. But the devil, with all his host, is deceived, if he think to overwhelm me with vile falsehoods, or to render me more timid, indolent, or dilatory, by such indignities. For I trust that God, in his infinite goodness, will enable me to per severe with patient constancy in the career of his holy calling; of which I afford my pious readers a fresh proof in this edition.

Is the question put to the Jews by our Lord. Scribes and Pharisees had taken counsel how they might ensnare Him in His talk.
