Tracts & Letters (Vol 2) - Calvin - XIV - Chapter 10 concluded (Last admonition...)

Required reading
Tracts and Letters (Volume 2) by John Calvin (Available from Amazon or free here) - Conclude Chapter X (Last admonition of John Calvin to Joachim Westphal).

My summary
Now we finish the tract from Calvin against Westphal.

We read the last of the fifty-nine arguments which the Magdeburgians enumerate as amply sufficient to dispose of all the objections of the Reformers. 

The remaining arguments are argued in a similar fashion as the first batch we read last week.

Then the tract ends with similar arguments and a defence of the slurs that Calvin and his followers have received.

What grabbed me
I liked the point that Jesus' body cannot be everywhere (and hence in communion bread) as our resurrection bodies are to be like Jesus': 'Scripture declares that our bodies will be made conformable to the glorious body of Christ ; but our bodies will not then be everywhere : Therefore, neither is the body of Christ everywhere.'

Once again, great logic from Calvin.

Next week's reading
Commence XI (Clear explanation of sound doctrine...in order to dissipate the mists of Tileman Heshusius) by reading up to the paragraph commencing 'Let the reader attend to the design of Irenaeus' (page 538 in the Banner edition).
