We see now how the apostles took nothing to
themselves imperiously, but did reverently follow that which was prescribed in the word of God.
Neither did it grieve them, neither did they count it any disgrace to them to profess themselves to
be the scholars of the Scripture. Also we must here note, that the use of the doctrine of the prophets
is yet in force, which some brain-sick men would banish out of the Church. By citing the prophets,
in the plural number, to be witnesses, whereas he doth allege one place only, he signifieth that there
is such an agreement among them, that that which is spoken by one is the common testimony of
them all, because they speak all with one mouth, and every one speaketh as in the person of all, or
rather the Spirit of God speaketh in them all. Moreover, the oracles of all the prophets were gathered
together, that they might make one body. Wherefore that might worthily and fitly be ascribed to
all the prophets in general, which was taken out of some one part of the general book.
Who were these brain-sick "dispensationalists" of Calvin's day?
