I think here Calvin is indicating that they were other Greek manuscripts that were not taken serious because they were found to be inferior compared to the approved Greek manuscripts.

I think such is stilled the case right now.
That's an interesting quote.
And tell me, were those "most approved" Greek manuscripts in Calvin's comment TR or critical?
They were approved Greek manuscripts used for the TR.
