The Life of John Calvin (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Life of John Calvin

After completing his Institutes, and faithfully performing the duties he Owed his native country, he felt a desire to pay, as if at a distance, his respects to Italy, and to visit Ren e, the Duchess Of Ferrara, and daughter Of Louis 12th king Of France, whose piety was at that time very much praised. He therefore, waited upon her, and at the same time so con firmed her In a'sincere zeal for religion; to the utmost Of his abilities according to the'existing state-of affairs, that she continued ever after to entertain a sincere affection for him during his life and now also, as his survivor, exhibits strik ing marks Of her gratitude after his death.
