did. The being described in his five points is ... a demon of malignant
spirit. It would be more pardonable to believe in no God at all, than to
blaspheme him by the atrocious, attributes of Calvin."
(Works, 1829 edition, p. 363.)
"The Presbyterian clergy are the loudest, the most intolerant of all sects;
the most tyrannical and ambitious, ready at the word of the law-giver, if
such a word could now be obtained, to put their torch to the pile, and to
rekindle in this virgin hemisphere the flame in which their oracle, Calvin,
consumed the poor Servetus, because he could not subscribe to the
proposition of Calvin, that magistrates have a right to exterminate all
heretics to the Calvinistic creed! They pant to be re-established by law as
the holy inquisition which they can now only infuse into public opinion."
