This is why I don't converse with conservatives. 1. The "link" is in the citation. That quote is from something called a "book" an object that once upon a time people in Calvin's era read. It consists of thin membranes called "paper" that are "bound" into said book. One typically needs to go to a place called a "library" in order to find these objects. I realize this is a stretch for many people. 2. My English translation is in the text above. It is the quote you read when asking for the citation. The two sort of go together. 3. It's impolite to ask people for favors and then pay no attention to their responses. Bloody Hell! This is why I don’t converse with conservatives.

The original French is: "Je voy maintenant du peuple plus qu’il n’y a accoustumé d’avoir au sermon. Et pourquoy? C’est le jour de Noel. Et qui vous l’a dict? Il le semble aux pauvres bestes, car voila le tiltre de tous ceulx qui sont venuz aujourdhuy au sermon pour l’honeur de la feste… Mais si vous pensez que Jesus Christ soit né aujourdhuy, vous este des bestes, voire des bestes enragees" John, the source is as cited above (Supplementa Calviniana, volume 5, sermons on Micah, p. 172, lines 20ff, translated from French by me).

In his Institutes somewhere? Someplace in his Commentaries perhaps? Please let me know.
