Calvin on Free Will

"What remains now for free-will, if all the good works which proceed from us are acknowledged to have been the gifts of the Spirit of God? Let godly readers weigh carefully the apostle's words. He does not say that we are assisted by God. He does not say that the will is prepared, and is then left to run by its own strength. He does not say that the power of choosing aright is bestowed upon us, and that we are afterwards left to make our own choice. such is the idle talk in which those persons who do their utmost to undervalue the grace of God are accustomed to indulge." - John Calvin from Ephesians 2:10
