Calvin writes;

In short, the more a man studies to conform his life to the standard of the divine law, the surer signs he gives of his repentance.

Which seems to indicate free will. Jimmy, if Calvin regards unregerate men as without free will, diddid he regard saved men as free? And in what sense? Because as I'm reading Calvin, I see more references to choice than non-choice

I guess I'm not understanding why some Calvinists deny free will, and how they get that from Calvin's writings. Did later Calvinists summarizing Calvin's thought just grossly misunderstand him?

Calvin denied free will in the very quote you posted.
