As you can clearly see Peter Christian even the early reformers as Luther and Melanchthon believed in free will and human choice. So did the Reformation at least until the Augsburg Confession. What Calvin attempted to do with his theology should be views as counter Refrigerant. His return to Augustine and the Catholic foundation and teachings of the church is very much obvious in his Institutes
