Section A
Answer Question 01.
Source A
From an official record by the Consistory of Geneva concerning Madame Perrin, 1546.
The Perrin family was powerful and strongly opposed to Calvin.
The wife of Monsieur Perrin appeared and was accused of having danced at Belle Rive
and at the house of Antoine Let. She denied it, although she admitted that she had seen
others dancing. She further acknowledged that she herself enjoyed dancing.
She accused the court of victimising her father, her brother and her brother-in-law and
said that furthermore there was a vendetta against her family. She was reprimanded for 5
this accusation. She said that she wished to help her father and added that he should
only be investigated in private and not in public. She was told that he would be treated in
the same way as anyone else in the city would be treated.
She was again asked to name those who had been dancing. She replied twice that she
would prefer to be corrected by the city magistrates and therefore face civil justice rather 10
than by the Consistory Court as she did not think this a matter for the Consistory.
Source B
From the published minutes of a public meeting in Geneva, ‘Records of Pastors who
Observed a Lecture by Jerome Bolsec’, 1551. Bolsec was a former Catholic priest.
Bolsec has been a doctor of medicine in Paris, but he has come to live in Geneva.
Although he initially supported Calvin, he has now become opposed to his theology.
Bolsec declared:
- that there was a wicked, new opinion, contrary to the Word of God and Holy Scripture,
that before the creation of the world, God had predestined those who were to be saved 5
and those who were to be damned, before he had seen who would be believers
- that he condemned the doctrine of God that we follow, saying that it portrayed God as a
tyrant
- that in saying God had predestined us to life or death, we made God into the author of
evil and injustice 10
- that we provided grounds for the wicked to criticise God, by saying that they could do
nothing about it if they were damned and that their actions were therefore no fault of
their own.
