Text of manuscript excerpt

French:

“Or au pseaulme present, il est parlé de la noblesse et dignité de l’Eglise, laquelle doibt tellement ravir à soy et grans et petits, que tous les biens et honneurs de la terre ne les retiennent, ny empeschentqu’ils ne prétendent à ce but d’estre enroliez au peuple de Dieu. C’est grand chose d’estre Roy, mesme d’un tel pais; toutefois je ne doubte pas que vous n’estimiez sans comparaison mieux d’estre chrestien. C’est doncq un privilège inestimable que Dieu vous a faict. Sire, que vous soyez Roy chrestien, voire que vous luy serviez de lieutenant, pour ordonner et maintenir le royaulme de Jésus-Christ en Angleterre.”

Jean Calvin, Lettres Françaises, 1854, Jules Bonnet, ed., Paris, Libbairie De. Ch. Meyrueis et Compagnie, vol. 1. pp. 346-347.

(French Letters, A. D. 1538 – 1554)

English:

"Now in the Psalm before us is set forth the grandeur and dignity of the church, which ought in such wise to draw over to itself both great and small, that all the riches and honours of the world cannot hold them back, nor keep them from aiming at this object, namely, to be enrolled among the people of God. It is a great thing to be a king, especially of such a country; yet I have no doubt but that you esteem it incomparably better to be a Christian. It is therefore an inestimable privilege that God has made you, sire, a Christian king, to the end that you may act as his vicegerent in maintaining the kingdom of Jesus Christ in England."
