WHAT JACOB ARMINIUS THOUGHT OF JOHN CALVIN'S COMMENTARIES ON THE BIBLE
"Next to the perusal of the Scriptures, which I earnestly inculcate, I exhort my
pupils to peruse CALVIN’S commentaries, which I extol in loftier terms than
Helmich himself; for I affirm that he excels beyond comparison in the
interpretation of Scripture, and that his commentaries ought to be more highly
valued than all that is handed down to us by the Library of the Fathers; so that
I acknowledge him to have possessed above most others, or rather above all other
men, what may be called an eminent gift of prophecy." (Quoted by Spurgeon in Commenting and Commentaries)
