Conflession wif a lisp (salvation, confess, God, reform)

[angellous_evangellous]

The Genevan Confession - John Calvin 1536


IV. Natural Man

We acknowledge man by nature to be blind, darkened in understanding, and full of corruption and perversity of heart, so that of himself he has no power to be able to comprehend the true knowledge of God as is proper, nor to apply himself to good works. But on the contrary, if he is left by God to what he is by nature, he is only able to live in ignorance and to be abandoned to all iniquity. Hence he has need to be illumined by Fod, so that he come to the right knowledge of his salvation, and thus to be redirected in his affections and reformed to the obedience of the righteousness of God.

I read this thinking - who the heck is Fod?

Is this a case of that archaic "written 'f's are sometimes actually 's's" rule?

Even so, being "illuminated by Sod" doesn't make much sense.

[angellous_evangellous]

No, it's English.

Fod.

F for G on a vomputer jeyboard.

That rule only applies in the case of a double consonant like "ss" or "sx." Or at the end of words where the next letter is a consonant like "cars scare."

Ah... see, I assumed based on your level of scholarship that you'd already weeded out typos and the like.

Maybe the question isn't WHO, but WHAT.
