Brevis admonitio Joannis Calvini ad fratres Polonos, ne triplicem in Deo essentiam pro tribus personis imaginando, tres sibi Deos fabricent

proves that we must all be presented at the tribunal of Christ, brings forward another sentence of the Prophet: "As I live, every knee shall bow before me." Certainly, the God of Israel speaks in the Prophet, whom Moses had testified was the only one. And yet, by Paul’s testimony, this praise applies to Christ. Therefore, he is the same one who swears by his own life that he will not give his glory to another. And they will try in vain to escape by saying that God will be the judge in the person of Christ because he gave all judgment to the Son, when Paul takes it as a granted fact that what is said about the supreme empire of God in the Prophet truly applies to Christ. By a similar reason, from the same Isaiah, he proves that Christ is the stone of stumbling for the Jews, even though the Prophet declares that only of the one God. Now, he would be wrongly accommodating to Christ what David affirms about the supreme God, unless we admit that Christ is included under that deity. David addresses the one God with these words: "You have ascended on high." Paul teaches that this was fulfilled in Christ. Furthermore, if anything is proper to God, it is distinguished by singular praises in these words: "You, in the beginning, Jehovah, founded the heaven and the earth." Isaiah 45 Romans 14 Isaiah 8, Romans 9 Psalm 67, Ephesians 4
