[a meditation on 2 Peter 1;10,11]
“Some men, not content with [Christ] alone, are borne hither and thither from one hope to another; even if they concern themselves chiefly with him, they nevertheless stray from the right way in turning some part of their thinking in another direction. Yet such distrust cannot creep in where men have once for all truly known the abundance of his blessings.”
… John Calvin (1509-1564), The Institutes of the Christian Religion, v. I [1559],
