But this is not ,PU the lad. Calvin had wtthdrawu from M,j the Catholic taitb, and when Serve»ua was | pursued by the Catholics he fled for pro-j lection lo the arms of Calvin; but in i stead of flndiog a friend lo protect him in j the hour of persecution he found a cold ' hearted niuiderer, who imk.o consigned ( him to the burning flame* He farther ; says that Calvin perfected a great reform ; at urn Now what did he reform* Ji4 1 he reform the church• No sir! lie never ! established or reformed the church of God in bts I lie.
