Note 277 — LXIX.—To the Pastors of the Church of Zurich.[276]
Reading edition
The peculiar modesty of Calvin is the more remarkable, when we consider the éclat which attended his preaching and teaching at Strasbourg. During the two years which he passed in that city, the French Church continually increased, and the name of Calvin was alone sufficient to attract, from all parts of France, young persons desirous of learning, and even men already distinguished as learned.—See Sturm's Antipappi, iv. p. 21.
