Excerpt from Institutes of the Christian Religion, Vol. 2 of 3 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 office 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 Empire 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 preserve 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 ih the career of his-holy calling; of which I afford my pious readers a fresh proof in this edition. Now, my design in this work has been to prepare and qualify students of theology for the reading of the divine word, that they may have an easy introduction to it, and be enabled to proceed in it without any obstruction. For I think I have given such a comprehensive summary, and orderly arrange ment Of all the branches of religion, that, with proper attention.

A obra de João Calvino, As institutas da religião cristã, tem sua origem na ala reformada da Reforma Protestante.O livro pretende ser um guia para o estudo das Escrituras, funcionando como guia e comentário a respeito da profundidade de seus significados, que eram normalmente elaborados e complexos.

The translator and associates took great care to preserve the rugged strength and vivedness of Calvin's writing. They have not, however, hesitated to break up overly long sentences to conform to modern English usage, or to render heavy Latinate theological terms in simple language. --back cover
