He then goes on to show that love the love 12 1, 1 | interpretation of Scripture depends on the discovery and enunciation 13 1, 1 | undertaken in dependence on God's aid.~ 14 1, 1 | There are two things on which all interpretation 15 1, 1 | undoubtedly be, if I were counting on my own strength; but since 16 1, 1 | accomplishing the work rests on Him who has already supplied 17 1, 1 | supplied me with many thoughts on this subject, I do not fear 18 1, 1 | fear but that He will go on to supply what is yet wanting 19 1, 4 | for its own sake. To use, on the other hand, is to employ 20 1, 6 | rejoice in His praise. For on this principle it is that 21 1, 7 | pattern of excellence. Those, on the other hand, who endeavour 22 1, 8 | by it.

On this point, indeed, no question 37 1, 24 | Those, on the other hand, who do this 38 1, 25 | superfluous to argue longer on a point so very plain, but 39 1, 26 | thy neighbour as thyself.

And on this ground even God Himself, 43 1, 30 | who was lying half dead on the road, wounded and abandoned 44 1, 30 | neighbour. For He shows us pity on account of His own goodness, 45 1, 30 | show pity to one another on account of His; that is, 46 1, 31 | And on this ground, when we say 47 1, 33 | others fixed upon them.

If, on the other hand, a man draws 55 1, 38 | which we shall come: love, on the other hand, shall wax 56 1, 38 | eternity: an eternal object, on the other hand, is loved 57 1, 38 | it can set a higher value on it than really belongs to 58 1, 38 | less value than he thought; on the contrary, however high 59 1, 38 | may set upon it when he is on his way to possess it, he 60 1, 39 | Scriptures, even in solitude, on the strength of these three 61 1, 40 | much has already been said on this subject in other volumes, 62 2, 1 | the impression it makes on the senses, causes something 63 2, 2 | Conventional signs, on the other hand, are those 64 2, 7 | have reference to God.

He then goes on to lay down rules for the 121 3, 3 | one of these questions. On the other hand, in that 122 3, 6 | against Him that He healed on the Sabbath, and the people, 123 3, 6 | been for a season imposed on the obedient, fixed the 124 3, 6 | those who observed them on the worship of the One God 125 3, 8 | saints of Israel. Those, on the other hand, whom it 126 3, 9 | knowing what it signifies: he, on the other hand, who either 127 3, 10 | can confer an advantage on another which he does not 128 3, 12 | superstitious; whoever, on the other hand, uses them 129 3, 12 | several beasts that feed on commoner kinds of food, 130 3, 12 | the kingdom of heaven.

Let 142 3, 20 | Let them believe, on the contrary, that the apostles 143 3, 21 | that moved him. For it was on this account he had given 144 3, 21 | was only a passing guest. On this account the unlawful 145 3, 23 | hardly a page of Scripture on which it is not clearly 146 3, 26 | the wicked." Nor ought we, on the other hand, in regard 147 3, 26 | breastplate of faith: "putting on," says the apostle, "the 148 3, 27 | the interpretations put on the words is in harmony 149 3, 27 | seeing that it too is founded on truth. For what more liberal 150 3, 30 | read with caution, not only on account of the errors into 151 3, 30 | falls as a man, but chiefly on account of the heresies 152 3, 32 | requires the reader to be on his guard when Scripture, 153 3, 33 | use of when writing a book on this subject. It may be 154 3, 33 | the want of clear views on this question that originated, 155 3, 33 | less attentive and anxious on this point, namely, that 156 3, 33 | Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer 157 3, 34 | reader must then be carefully on his guard against seeking 158 3, 34 | genus taken in. For he goes on to say: "And I shall be 159 3, 34 | the carnal Israel, passes on, without indicating the 160 3, 34 | its own time was to them, on account of the unchangeableness 161 3, 35 | our Lord was transfigured on the mount, so that His face 162 3, 35 | the latter part of the day on which Christ uttered the 163 3, 35 | the first part of the day on which he showed its fulfilment 164 3, 35 | the latter part of the day on which He suffered we join 165 3, 37 | place, "He is ground down on the earth, who sendeth to 166 3, 37 | himself, that is ground down on the earth, except that he 167 3, 37 | For in these very books on the study of which they 168 4, arg | intention to write a treatise on the laws of rhetoric.

For if 193 4, 10 | throws light upon points on which people wish for instruction, 194 4, 10 | s expectation was fixed on having the difficulties 195 4, 10 | further labour need be spent on the truth itself, as if 196 4, 12 | matter of necessity, depends on what we say; the other two 197 4, 12 | what we say; the other two on the way we say it.

And there, too: "These 201 4, 16 | principalities and powers," and so on.

And a little farther on: "The night is far spent, 211 4, 20 | darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

And in the 220 4, 21 | the celebrated encomium on virginity from Cyprian: " 221 4, 21 | care. These are the flowers on the tree of the Church, 222 4, 21 | inside sheds its radiance on the outside.

To prevail on any one to take a step of 224 4, 21 | should be excited and set on fire by the majestic style. 225 4, 21 | colours, and then from stains on their features go on to 226 4, 21 | stains on their features go on to stains on their chastity. 227 4, 21 | features go on to stains on their chastity. What folly 228 4, 21 | pronounces condemnation on herself; and her eager endeavours 229 4, 21 | intermingled with practice on his own part, become thoroughly 230 4, 22 | mingle these various styles: on the contrary, every variety 231 4, 22 | And therefore we must be on our guard, lest, in striving 232 4, 23 | place. The temperate style, on the other hand, not indeed 233 4, 24 | speaker, we are not to suppose on that account that he is 234 4, 24 | temperate.
