ET: Institution or instruction in the Christian religion. Described in four books by John Calvin, in his life pastor and teacher of the Church of Christ at Geneva. Now faithfully newly retranslated from the Latin and the French by Willem Corsman, the late servant of the holy gospel at Baerdvviick under the classis of Gorinchem. Additionally furnished with the citations of the scriptural passages according to the new translation and enriched with the life and death of John Calvin by Theodore Beza. With Calvin’s own account of his call to the service of the holy church and his experiences therein; also with witnesses to papal writers concerning John Calvin. And also included at the end of this Institution a new index of subjects and names.

The first installment of a new Dutch edition of Calvin’s Institutes containing Kuyper’s introduction (pp. 3–14) as well as three contributions by Beza: the life of Calvin; Calvin’s vocation; and Roman Catholic testimony about Calvin (pp. [XV]–XLVII). Explanations of the seventeenth-century Dutch used by the translator Willem Corsman are printed in footnotes below the corresponding column on each page.

In his extensive introduction Kuyper states that there have been ten previous Dutch editions of the Institutes. Shortly after the publication of this first installment, several readers called attention to the existence of editions that he had not included in his list. Kuyper put a notice in De Heraut, no. 509, September 25, 1887 requesting bibliographic information from anyone who possessed an old Dutch translation of the Institutes not included in his list. The result of this appeal was a new list of eighteen Dutch editions of the Institutes, which Kuyper published in 1889.12 as an afterword.

The cover of this installment mistakenly states that Kuyper had composed an index of biblical passages. After the completion of the work, this statement was left off the title page. The second installment appeared in November 1887. The entire work was completed in twenty installments by 1889.
