On Isaiah 8:17 --
"We draw from it this highly useful doctrine, namely, that preachers and ministers of the word ought constantly to persevere in discharging their office, thought it may seem that all men revolt, and give no evidence of anything but obstinacy and rebellion; for the Lord will reserve for himself some disciples, by whom his letter will be read with advantage, though it be closed to others," Calvin, Commentary on Isaiah, vol. 1, 283.
