Whither could men turn without hearing vocal testimonies to the existence and glory of God? The birds in their warbling sing of God, and the lowing steers more loudly tell of Him, while the heavenly bodies move on in silent adoration; the mountains resound his praise, and fountain and flood point to Him with their glanze, and every herb and flower seem to woo man to his Maker.

---from Calvin’s preface to the New Testament
