"Let our readers hence gather how much
religion and conscience Pighius has in dealing with the holy Scripture!
He then adds, from the Psalm, "The Lord is good to all" (cxlv.
9), from which he concludes that, therefore, all were ordained
unto eternal life. Now, if this be true, the kingdom of heaven is open
for dogs and asses!" -- John Calvin [Psalm 145:9].
Imagine if John Calvin were a blogger today? Mike Horton, R. Scott Clark, Tim Keller, and all the Van Tilians would be hollering like stuck pigs about how uncouth such remarks are. Sometimes a little plain language is called for.
