Calvin flirted with the idea of a reinstitution of the Bishops?

Have you ever heard that John Calvin wanted the reinstitution of Bishops?



A Reformed Episcopal friend of a friend who is also a minister wrote saying



“Calvin wanted to reinstitution of Bishops. Calvin wanted Bishops, but still believed that only Bishops can make Bishops. Eventually, though this movement lost and died in Geneva. Calvin recognized that since the beginning, the church was ruled by Bishops and the three fold ministry of Bishops, Priest (presbyters) and Deacons.”



Have you ever heard of this before?
