John Calvin drinks 7 barrels of wine in a year, marvelous.....

Calvin's annual salary in Geneva included seven barrels of wine.

Guess what?

Did he receive them, all 7 barrels as his salary?

Did he reject those 7 barrels?

Did he drink them all in a year?

Did he keep them in the his store room?
Did he give some of them to his friends and family?

He did not dispose them...he drunk them, while he was writing...

For John Calvin, wine was actually like the engine oil in the engine, keeping the engine running...that is why he managed to write and write....
