“For just as our eyes, when dimmed with age or weakness or by some other defect, unless aided by spectacles, discern nothing distinctly; so, such is our feebleness, unless Scripture guides us in seeking God, we are immediately confused.” (Calvin, Institutes I. 14. 1)
Three in One – One in Three
“I cannot think on the one without quickly being encircled by the splendor of the three; nor can I discern the three without being straightway carried back to the one.” Gregory of Nazianzus
Calvin admired this saying of Gregory’s and I confess I like it too (see Institutes I. 13. 17).
