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

"Also, Let all the Angels worship him." And yet the Apostle claims this for Christ: it follows, therefore, that under the name of God there, the whole divine essence is designated, which is common to Christ and the Spirit with the Father. And therefore, as often as the forged table thrusts its distinctions upon me, it will be easy to answer that where Christ is compared with the Father, the Persons are rightly distinguished: but where God is named simply, the Son is by no means excluded. And certainly, if it belongs to the Father alone to be life, that statement of John will be false: "This is the true God, and eternal life." For I ask whether he introduces another true God than the one who is celebrated among Moses and the Prophets? Add also, even though Malachi speaks specifically about Christ, he nevertheless attributes to him what it is not lawful to transfer from the true and unique God of Israel. For to whom was the Temple on Mount Zion dedicated? To whom were sacrifices offered? Certainly, to worship a divinity there other than the true God would have been sacrilegious profanation.
