I understand that Calvin was a Cessationist, but I find it to be rather unscriptural. What are thoughts of other reformers?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I agree entirely.
Cessationism wasn't as much of an issue then, and the other reformers didn't say too much, as far as I know.
It was first really developed as a doctrine by Benjamin Warfield in the Nineteenth Century - who has been acclaimed as one of the greatest exegetes of the nineteenth century. He approached it in the same way as he did false miracles, faith healing, or anything generally unchristian and supernatural.

Um Calvin wasn't Cessationlist, in the way of God leaveing man it was more in the way of Man lacking Faith, so it stoped.
