On the contrary, however,
the doctrine of election ought to be preached constantly and thoroughly,
that he that hath 'ears to hear' might hear. And who hath these 'ears'
but he who hath received them from Him who hath promised to give them?
Wherefore, let him that receiveth not the truth reject it; but let him
that heareth and understandeth the truth, receive it and drink it, and
drink and live! As therefore godliness is to be preached,
that God may be rightly obeyed and worshipped; so is predestination
to be preached also, that he who 'hath ears to hear' the
free grace of God might glory in God, and not in himself." --John Calvin
Calvin's Calvinism - Section V
