Various Congregational, Reformed and Presbyterian churches, which look to Calvin as the chief expositor of their beliefs, have spread throughout the world. Read more . . .

He is notable as being one of the most powerful early defenders of Martin Luther, Lutheranism and the Protestant Reformation although he had little personal contact with Luther himself. Fredericks' treasurer Degenhart Pfaffinger (a German dynasty), spoke on behalf of him to Martin Luther. Pfaffinger supported Frederick since the joint pilgrimage to the holy land. He is considered to have remained a Roman Catholic all his life, yet gradually inclining toward doctrines of the Reformation. Read more . . .  and here!

The Forest-Feller

        The human race are as trees in the vast forest of this world, various in their forms and character, and in their degrees of utility, strength, and beauty: but they are alike destined to fall under the ax of the undistinguishing and inexorable feller.

       They are then made use of according to their different qualities -- some are applied to the noblest purposes. The cedars of Lebanon are the temple of the Most High; while the vile and worthless are cast into the fire and perish.

People compared to trees in scripture? Here are just a few examples from The New King James Bible:

Psalm 92:12

 12

The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,

He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13

Those who are planted in the house of the Lord

Shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14

They shall still bear fruit in old age;

They shall be fresh and flourishing,

15

To declare that the Lord is upright;

He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

Matthew 3:10

 10 And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
 

Numbers 24:6

Like valleys that stretch out,

Like gardens by the riverside,

Like aloes planted by the Lord,

Like cedars beside the waters.

Psalm 1:3

Blessed is the man

Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,

    Nor stands in the path of sinners,

    Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

2

But his delight is in the law of the Lord,

    And in His law he meditates day and night.

3

He shall be like a tree

    Planted by the rivers of water,

    That brings forth its fruit in its season,

    Whose leaf also shall not wither;

And whatever he does shall prosper. 

 

Psalm 52:8

8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

Psalm 144:12 

¹² That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:

Mark 4:31-32
