oddie that I am, I've always had the urge to do a little reading
in Calvin.  Legally trained, he issued prolific theology from what I picture
as a mountain fastness in Switzerland, tracts which were somehow
appealing to Scots,
in between burning Unitarians...well, there was only the one...

anyway, I'll report back in a few days if I can find anything justifying
my calumnies...
