6. After this I asked Calvin how he could rise to heaven with his notion of three Gods and his notion that the Lord was two. He replied that he had been sent into a certainly lowly society of heaven and had lived there among the most remote who were not much tested. But when he was tested he went down from there because he could not remain there, and took himself off to Luther in the world of spirits. He had been living with Luther for some time, and this was the reason - that Luther acknowledged the Lord's Human to be Divine, and Calvin saw that he was safe nowhere else.
The clergy described Calvin as an upright man, but simple, and said that he had written according to his own simple thought; not considering whether this agreed with Sacred Scripture or did not agree, as he had not considered either whether it agreed with the Athanasian Creed.
