54. I had a conversation, but only once, with Calvin.* He was in a community of heaven which appears in front above head level. He said that he had not agreed with Luther and Melanchthon about the doctrine of faith alone, since works are so often mentioned in the Word and are ordered to be done, so that faith and works must be linked. I heard from one of its governors that Calvin is accepted in his community because he is upright and does not cause disturbances. *Calvin (1509-64) another leading Reformer, born in France but lived mainly in Switzerland.
