[229] From the Assembly at Worms, where he sustained with Bucer and
Melanchthon the weighty interests of the Reformation, Calvin cast a
look of attentive regard on the humble parish of which he was the
pastor at Strasbourg, and addressed to the Deacon Nicolas Parent,
who was charged with the duty of supplying his place while absent,
several letters, animated with the most lively interest in the
spiritual wellbeing of his parishioners.
Testimony rendered to the French Church at Strasbourg and to the
pastor in charge of it during the absence of Calvin--matters of
advice.
