 17   1,  11 |  foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God

 32   2,   2 |          made known to us through men those, namely, who wrote
 33   2,   3 |         the signs, then, by which men communicate their thoughts
 34   2,   3 |    compared with words. For among men words have obtained far

 37   2,   4 |          the sin of discord among men, which springs from every
 38   2,   4 |           spirit; and the ungodly men concerned in it justly earned
 39   2,   5 |     salvation. And in reading it, men seek nothing more than to
 40   2,   5 |          which they believe these men to have spoken. ~

 45   2,   6 |      teeth of the Church, tearing men away from their errors,
 46   2,   7 |   possible die to this world. For men see Him just so far as they

 52   2,  13 |  foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God
 53   2,  13 |           of God is stronger than men 1 Cor.1:25 ). If any one
 54   2,  13 |        foolish of God is wiser of men, and what is weak of God
 55   2,  13 |        weak of God is stronger of men), a quick and careful reader
 56   2,  13 |       might be, that the folly of men or the weakness of men is

 61   2,  15 |        many venerable and learned men. Wherefore, even if anything
 62   2,  15 |          from that in which these men have expressed it, I think
 63   2,  15 |       Providence which used these men to bring it about, that
 64   2,  16 |        Scripture. And a number of men skilled in that language

 70   2,  20 |          the dogs; for frequently men are so superstitious as

 73   2,  21 |         to confer honour on those men. And this is not to be wondered
 74   2,  21 |      naming them in honour of the men Julius Caesar and Augustus
 75   2,  21 |         they now bear. But as the men were dead whose memory people

 77   2,  21 |    whatever they may be called by men, still there are stars which
 78   2,  22 |         about whom these wretched men are consulted by their still
 79   2,  22 |        upon by the presumption of men, are to be referred to the
 80   2,  23 |         way it comes to pass that men who lust after evil things
 81   2,  23 |        baleful fellowship between men and devils, and are to be

 85   2,  24 |       lives, and affect different men's minds differently, because
 86   2,  24 |       different; and as, further, men did not agree upon them
 87   2,  24 |           now significant because men have agreed upon them; in
 88   2,  25 |   association with devils, but by men in association with one

 90   2,  25 |      arrangement and agreement of men, the public crier would
 91   2,  25 |      still remembered by many old men from whom we have frequently
 92   2,  25 |          to them in vain. Yet all men aim at a certain degree
 93   2,  25 |           same significance among men, except when they have mutually
 94   2,  25 |        the superfluous devices of men, unless when it is a matter
 95   2,  25 |           fictions, in whose lies men take delight, are human
 96   2,  25 |         necessary arrangements of men with men are to be reckoned
 97   2,  25 |          arrangements of men with men are to be reckoned whatever
 98   2,  25 |          they were not devices of men, would not be different
 99   2,  26 |           certain institutions of men are in a sort of way representations
100   2,  26 |         the mutual intercourse of men, are, so far as they are
101   2,  27 |   institutions those things which men have handed down to us,
102   2,  28 |       from whose successors these men assert Plato learnt theology,
103   2,  28 |  narrative former institutions of men are described, the history
104   2,  29 |       hence, in just the same way men who are skilled in such

114   2,  37 |         it sometimes happens that men find less difficulty in
115   2,  37 |        walk in any other way; but men find it easier to walk by

117   2,  39 |           studious and able young men, who fear God and are seeking
118   2,  39 |           have been instituted by men varying by reason of the
119   2,  39 |        detestation. Let the young men also withdraw their attention
120   2,  39 |         from such institutions of men as are unnecessary and luxurious.
121   2,  39 |       neglect the arrangements of men that enable us to carry
122   2,  39 |                  What, then, some men have done in regard to all
123   2,  39 |      solution; what, I say, these men have done in regard to matters
124   2,  40 |     miserable fellowship of these men, ought to take away from

127   2,  40 |            not to speak of living men! How much Greeks out of
128   3,   6 |           heaven and earth. These men, because they had been very
129   3,   6 |        churches did this, because men who had for their gods idols
130   3,   7 |        and yet it is not food for men, but for swine. He who knows

132   3,  10 |         blameable except what the men of his own country and time
133   3,  10 |         way fashions the lives of men. In the same way, if an
134   3,  10 |           possession of the mind, men think that whatever Scripture
135   3,  12 |        are ascribed to God, or to men whose holiness is put before

137   3,  12 |          luxurious and profligate men are accustomed to have theirs
138   3,  12 |    persons, and not rashly charge men with sins. For it is possible
139   3,  12 |           sort, whatever the holy men of those times did without

148   3,  19 |         more beastly excess, such men do not believe it possible

157   3,  22 |         to the habits of the good men who since our Lord's advent

159   3,  23 |        reads of the sins of great men, although he may be able
160   3,  23 |       when he sees in the case of men so eminent both the storms
161   3,  23 |       over. For the sins of these men were recorded to this end,
162   3,  23 |        recorded to this end, that men might everywhere and always
163   3,  29 |    Moreover, I would have learned men to know that the authors

165   3,  34 |       thing occurs in the case of men: things are said of Solomon,

167   3,  36 |           have been revealed that men are to give heed to these
168   3,  36 |     revealed. is the day in which men ought to give heed to these

170   4,   2 |        who are trying to persuade men of what is false are to
171   4,   2 |         or right, why do not good men study to engage it on the
172   4,   2 |           side of truth, when bad men use it to obtain the triumph
173   4,   3 |         be in the end mastered by men of slower intellect, I do
174   4,   3 |        much importance as to wish men who have arrived at mature
175   4,   3 |        take precedence of it. For men of quick intellect and glowing
176   4,   3 |          the speeches of eloquent men, we find rules of eloquence
177   4,   3 |          do speak, why should not men become eloquent without
178   4,   3 |          the speeches of eloquent men, and by imitating them as
179   4,   3 |           and debates of eloquent men. For even the art of grammar,

181   4,   3 |        avoid it; just as citybred men, even when illiterate, seize
182   4,   5 |                       But as some men employ these coarsely, inelegantly,
183   4,   5 |     service never." If, then, the men who teach the principles
184   4,   5 |           set far above these the men who are not so retentive

186   4,   5 |    himself in imitating, eloquent men, than advise him to spend
187   4,   5 |       rhetoric; especially if the men he reads and listens to
188   4,   6 |     eloquence that is becoming in men who justly claim the highest
189   4,   6 |         if I had time, show those men who cry up their own form
190   4,   7 |          more likely that serious men would think I had gone too
191   4,   7 |           reply to the ill-taught men who think our authors contemptible;

199   4,  10 |           which cannot be done by men who are repeating words

203   4,  12 |          is a necessity. For what men know, it is in their own
204   4,  13 |         for those stubborn minded men who both understand and
205   4,  14 |          labour has been spent by men on the beauty of expression
206   4,  14 |    baseness which wicked and base men have with great eloquence
207   4,  14 |       style are apt to think that men who do not use it, but employ

222   4,  20 |           these divinely-inspired men are not defective in any
223   4,  21 |    exemplified in the writings of men who, by reading the Scriptures,
