37 1, 14 | seems that God does not understand Himself. For it is said

46 1, 14 | is the same thing as to understand. ~Therefore in God to be
47 1, 14 | is the same thing as to understand. But God's ~existence is
48 1, 14 | laid down ~above (A[2]), to understand is not an act passing to

53 1, 14 | it seems that He does not understand all at once, but ~discourses

63 1, 14 | this account the things we ~understand as separated, we must reduce

65 1, 15 | the divine ~mind that it understand many things; though it would

67 1, 15 | an architect is said to ~understand a house, when he understands
68 1, 15 | Now not only does God ~understand many things by His essence,
69 1, 16 | wills the intellect ~to understand. So then, among things directed

75 1, 18 | remain in the agent, as to understand, to sense ~and to will.
76 1, 18 | that, In God to live is to understand, as before stated (A[3]). ~
77 1, 18 | In ~this sense we must understand the words of the Apostle
78 1, 19 | that the thinker would ~understand the premisses to be the
79 1, 19 | goodness. Hence, as in God to understand the cause is not ~the cause
80 1, 19 | A[6] R.O. 1 Para. 2/2~To understand this we must consider that
81 1, 19 | words of Augustine we must understand a necessity in ~things willed
82 1, 20 | Para. 1/1~Reply OBJ 3: To understand and to will denote the act
83 1, 22 | and ~higher; for we cannot understand many things simultaneously;
84 1, 23 | predestination; giving us to understand that God gives ~grace to
85 1, 23 | God, and thus we are to ~understand, "Who hath helped the Spirit
86 1, 25 | abundantly than we desire or understand."~Aquin.: SMT FP Q[25] A[
87 1, 26 | Now in God, to be and to understand are one and the same ~thing;

90 1, 27 | above all things, we should understand what is said of God, ~not
91 1, 28 | understood. For ~when we understand a stone; that which the
92 1, 31 | of speaking, ~unless we understand another implication, as
93 1, 31 | only true God," we do not understand ~it as referring to the
94 1, 31 | of essence. Hence we must understand that in the text quoted
95 1, 32 | always name a thing as we understand it. Now, our ~intellect
96 1, 32 | related to the Father, we must understand two relations in the Father,
97 1, 34 | xv, 10): "Whoever can ~understand the word, not only before
98 1, 34 | from ~each other; for "to understand" means only the habitude

100 1, 34 | Reply OBJ 1: "To be" and "to understand" are not the same in us.

106 1, 36 | in the ~name "Father" we understand the relation of principle;

112 1, 39 | what is that to ~me, if I understand it rightly? . . . The oneness
113 1, 39 | Father." If ~however, we understand these words not to be in
114 1, 39 | two. And from this we can understand what Augustine means when
115 1, 39 | be excluded, we cannot ~understand the oneness of the union
116 1, 40 | from creatures; as the Jews understand it.~Aquin.: SMT FP Q[40]
