I'll need to re-read that Chris. Sometimes you need to learn some stuff in order for other stuff to make sense. This is the first time I've read the Institutes so I'm trying to put a lot of the stuff he wrote into context. I recognize he's one man but he was certainly formative for many. I see some "seeds" of a Sabbath in what he writes here but this is his mature expression in the Institutes and he seems pretty firm in some of his conclusions that are contrary to some Puritan convictions.
