I understand that Calvin grew up Roman Catholic, but he later learned to speak boldly against the pope and all his fellow criminals. Why then say this:
Joseph did not know his wife until she brought forth Christ, (Matthew 1:25.) By these words Scripture does not mean, that after Christ had been born they lived together as husband and wife, but only shows that Mary, before the birth of her son, was a virgin that had not known man.
Leftover love for the virgin? He is so strong on points that seem questionable. Why fool around on this? This is a man who demands marriage for almost all (Vol. II). Why take Joseph's wife from him?
