3. Priests, his followers, were present to the number of fifty, and they heard Calvin give these answers to the questions; and I asked them whether they did not see, that, as to the Person of Christ, they had not fully receded from the Athanasian Creed. They answered that they had often read that Creed but had paid no attention to those words there; and they were surprised that they saw them now for the first time with attention. They confessed that Calvin had openly dissented; and also confessed that as often as they had named Christ or heard Him named, they had not understood the Son of God but a pure man who was made Justice for the human race, and that when they had named God only, they had meant God the Father.
