1 1, 1-1 | he that knoweth Thee not, may call on Thee as other than
2 1, 1-1 | we call on Thee that we may know Thee? but how shall
3 1, 5-5 | and inebriate it, that I may forget my ills, and embrace
4 1, 5-5 | salvation. So speak, that I may hear. Behold, Lord, my heart
5 1, 6-10 | derived any vein, which may stream essence and life
6 1, 10-16| not on Thee yet, that they may call on Thee, and Thou mayest

10 1, 16-26| no sober judge to whom we may appeal. Yet, O my God (in
11 1, 16-26| presence I now without hurt may remember this), all this
12 2, 1-1 | I love them, but that I may love Thee, O my God. For
13 2, 2-3 | things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; but he
14 2, 2-3 | things of this world, how he may please his wife. To these

16 2, 3-5 | that whosoever reads this, may think out of what depths
17 2, 3-8 | recalling, as well as I may, the disposition of my parents.
18 2, 1 | to obtain all these, we may not depart from Thee, O
19 3, 2-3 | which can never be), then may he, who truly and sincerely
20 3, 2-3 | commiserate. Some sorrow may then be allowed, none loved.
21 3, 6-10 | for whom I fail, that I may become strong, art neither

25 4, 10-15| quickly they grow that they may be, so much the more they
26 4, 10-15| sounded its part, that another may succeed. Out of all these
27 4, 11-16| things pass away, that others may replace them, and so this
28 4, 11-17| but fly away, that others may come, and thou hear the
29 4, 12-19| heavens? Descend, that ye may ascend, and ascend to God.

54 7, 21-27| who cannot see afar off, may yet walk on the way, whereby
55 7, 21-27| walk on the way, whereby he may arrive, and behold, and
56 8, 9-21 | Let Thy mercy gleam that I may ask, if so be the secret

58 8, 10-22| truth, that Thy Apostle may say to them, Ye were sometimes
59 8, 10-24| whither the one entire will may be borne, which before was
60 8, 11-27| on the earth, that they may be mortified. They tell

62 9, 2-4 | Thy servants, my brethren, may say that I sinned in this,
63 9, 4-7 | school of pride, my books may witness, as well what I
64 9, 4-10 | been sometimes darkness, we may be light in Thee. Oh that
65 9, 7-16 | Thee, as far as the breath may enter into this our house
66 9, 10-25| but by Himself, that we may hear His Word, not through
67 9, 12-32| limbs the power Of toil may be renew'd, And hearts
68 9, 13-35| her debts, whatever she may have contracted in so many
69 9, 13-37| 9.13.37 May she rest then in peace with
70 9, 13-37| read these Confessions, may at Thy Altar remember Monnica
71 9, 13-37| this life, how I know not. May they with devout affection
72 9, 13-37| mother's last request of me, may through my confessions,
73 10, 2-2 | and longed for; that I may be ashamed of myself, and
74 10, 3-3 | confess unto Thee, that men may hear, to whom I cannot demonstrate
75 10, 3-4 | plain unto me what fruit I may reap by doing it. For the
76 10, 5-7 | a way to escape, that we may be able to bear it. I will
77 10, 6-8 | say so unto all, that they may be without excuse. But more
78 10, 11-18| together again, that they may be known; that is to say,
79 10, 13-20| memory, that hereafter I may remember that I understand
80 10, 14-21| into the belly, where they may be stowed, but cannot taste.
81 10, 16-25| present, whence that image may be impressed? For thus do
82 10, 17-26| will pass beyond it, that I may approach unto Thee, O sweet
83 10, 17-26| cleave unto Thee, whence one may cleave unto Thee. For even
84 10, 17-26| beyond memory also, that I may arrive at Him who hath separated
85 10, 19-28| forget and seek that we may recollect? Where in the
86 10, 20-29| seek Thee, that my soul may live. For my body liveth
87 10, 21-30| desire to attain it, that we may be happy. As we remember
88 10, 22-32| that, be the joy what it may, I should therefore think
89 10, 30-42| more in me, that my soul may follow me to Thee, disentangled
90 10, 31-44| go before it, so that I may for her sake do what I say
91 10, 31-44| the cloak of health, it may disguise the matter of gratification.
92 10, 31-45| wilt have mercy, that it may be far from me. For no one
93 10, 32-48| worse to be made better, may not likewise of better be
94 10, 33-50| the ears the weaker minds may rise to the feeling of devotion.
95 10, 35-55| 10.35.55 But by this may more evidently be discerned,
96 10, 35-56| thereto is far from me, so may it ever be further and further.
97 10, 36-59| no other end, but that we may have a joy therein which
98 10, 36-59| greedily catching at them, we may be taken unawares, and sever
99 10, 36-59| having been made like him, he may have them for his own, not
100 10, 37-60| which are desired, that they may serve to some one or two
101 10, 37-60| it despiseth them, they may be cast aside, that so it
102 10, 37-60| be cast aside, that so it may prove itself. But to be
103 10, 37-62| to me myself also, that I may confess unto my brethren,
104 10, 40-65| delights me, and as far as I may be freed from necessary
105 10, 40-65| whither my scattered members may be gathered, and nothing
106 10, 43-70| all, that they which live may now no longer live unto
107 10, 43-70| my care upon Thee, that I may live, and consider wondrous
108 11, 1-1 | devotions towards Thee, that we may all say, Great is the Lord,
109 11, 1-1 | Thou hast begun, that we may cease to be wretched in
110 11, 2-3 | do Thou give me, what I may offer Thee. For I am poor
111 11, 2-4 | sight of Thy mercy, that I may find grace before Thee,
112 11, 5-7 | as by an interpreter, he may from mind to matter, convey
113 11, 5-7 | is done; that it within may consult the truth, which
114 11, 8-10 | through knowing; and that we may know, He teacheth us, because
115 11, 11-13| the heart of man, that it may stand still, and see how
116 11, 13-16| come and go, that they all may come. Thy years stand together,
117 11, 15-20| that alone is it, which may be called present. Which
118 11, 15-20| then is the time, which we may call long? Is it to come?
119 11, 15-20| there should exist what may be long; then does time
120 11, 16-21| then time is passing, it may be perceived and measured;
121 11, 18-23| yet are not, the images may be perceived before, already
122 11, 18-24| the other which is to be may be foretold. Future things
123 11, 18-24| seen; yet foretold they may be from things present,
124 11, 22-28| for this do I live, that I may contemplate the delights
125 11, 26-33| measure of time; because it may be, that a shorter verse,
126 11, 26-33| pronounced more fully, may take up more time than a
127 11, 27-34| be measured, so that it may be said how long, or short
128 11, 27-34| ended, it no longer is. How may it then be measured? And
129 11, 27-35| apply it to the long, that I may find this to have twice
130 11, 27-36| if it sounded, that so we may be able to report of the
131 11, 28-38| through it what was future, may be conveyed over, so as
132 11, 28-38| action, whereof this Psalm may be part; the same holds
133 11, 29-39| many things, that by Him I may apprehend in Whom I have
134 11, 29-39| have been apprehended, and may be re-collected from my
135 11, 29-39| heavenly calling, where I may hear the voice of Thy praise,
136 11, 30-40| cease to speak that vanity. May they also be extended towards
137 11, 31-41| Heal mine eyes, that I may share the joy of Thy light.
138 12, 2-2 | both these great bodies, may not absurdly be called earth,
139 12, 4-4 | shining. Wherefore then may I not conceive the formlessness
140 12, 5-5 | thought seeketh what the sense may conceive under this, and
141 12, 5-5 | thus saith to itself, it may endeavour either to know
142 12, 11-12| do I find by what name I may the rather call the heaven
143 12, 11-13| 12.11.13 By this may the soul, whose pilgrimage
144 12, 11-13| long and far away, by this may she understand, if she now
145 12, 11-13| and desireth it, that she may dwell in Thy house all the
146 12, 11-13| the same?); by this then may the soul that is able, understand
147 12, 12-15| changeable, yet not changed, it may thoroughly enjoy Thy eternity
148 12, 12-15| us (that such capacities may hereby be drawn on by degrees,
149 12, 12-15| successive changes of times may take place in them, as being
150 12, 14-17| unto themselves, that they may live unto Thee. But behold
151 12, 17-24| arranged during those "days") may, not incongruously, be understood
152 12, 18-27| things, since divers things may be understood under these
153 12, 19-28| whereof a thing is made, may by a certain mode of speech,
154 12, 23-32| sorts of disagreements I see may arise, when a thing is in

158 12, 25-35| of most true meanings, as may be extracted out of those
159 12, 27-37| truth, whence every man may draw out for himself such
