  2 pref,   0|        Spirit? No, no; rather let us put away false pride and
  3 pref,   0|          jealousy. And do not let us tempt Him in whom we have
  4 pref,   0|                               Let us beware of such dangerous
  5 pref,   0|     temptations of pride, and let us rather consider the fact
  6   1, arg |         enjoyment to God: he uses us, but for our own advantage.
  7   1,   3 |         objects of enjoyment make us happy. Those things which
  8   1,   3 |         and (so to speak) support us in our efforts after happiness,
  9   1,   3 |       attain the things that make us happy and rest in them.
 10   1,   4 |         whose delights would make us truly happy. Such is a picture
 11   1,   6 |           mouths, and has desired us through the medium of our
 12   1,  10 |          it is perceived. And let us look upon this purification
 13   1,  11 |           incarnate, a pattern to us of purification~
 14   1,  11 |         our weakness, and to show us a pattern of holy life in
 15   1,  11 |        wisely, He when He came to us was considered by proud
 16   1,  11 |        strong, He when He came to us was looked upon as weak.
 17   1,  12 |         the Wisdom of God came to us~
 18   1,  12 |           is said to have come to us. For He came to a place
 19   1,  13 |       made flesh, and dwelt among us"? Just as when we speak,
 20   1,  13 |         that He might dwell among us. ~
 21   1,  14 |   mortality so well as to restore us to life. The disease was
 22   1,  14 |        born of a woman to deliver us who fell through a woman:
 23   1,  14 |          He came as a man to save us who are men, as a mortal
 24   1,  14 |          men, as a mortal to save us who are mortals, by death
 25   1,  14 |         mortals, by death to save us who were dead. And those
 26   1,  15 |         He laid down His life for us when He had it in His power
 27   1,  15 |      earthly journey He has given us so freely of His Spirit,
 28   1,  16 |          apostle's teaching shows us;and it is even called His
 29   1,  17 |          of thorns barred against us, what could He, who was
 30   1,  17 |       merciful, except to forgive us all our sins, and by being
 31   1,  17 |        and by being crucified for us to remove the stern decrees
 32   1,  22 |        else may suggest itself to us as an object worthy of love
 33   1,  23 |      which are either united with us in a common relation to
 34   1,  23 |       angel, or are so related to us as to need the goodness
 35   1,  23 |        first, that which is above us; second, ourselves; third,
 36   1,  23 |          which is on a level with us; fourth, that which is beneath
 37   1,  23 |     fourth, that which is beneath us, no precepts need be given
 38   1,  25 |          wicked men often compels us to do. ~
 39   1,  26 |    ourselves, and what is beneath us but connected with us, through
 40   1,  26 |     beneath us but connected with us, through a law of nature
 41   1,  26 |            and which is common to us with the beasts (for even
 42   1,  26 |           to lay injunctions upon us in regard to God above us,
 43   1,  26 |         us in regard to God above us, and our neighbour beside
 44   1,  26 |          and our neighbour beside us. "Thou shalt love," He says, "
 45   1,  27 |          can have fellowship with us in the enjoyment of God,
 46   1,  29 |           Now of all who can with us enjoy God, we love partly
 47   1,  29 |      those who render services to us, partly those who both help
 48   1,  29 |        partly those who both help us in our need and in turn
 49   1,  29 |         and in turn are helped by us, partly those upon whom
 50   1,  29 |         they should all join with us in loving God, and all the
 51   1,  29 |           so, what does it become us to do who live in the fellowship
 52   1,  29 |        they cannot take away from us what we love; but we pity
 53   1,  29 |        because the more they hate us the more are they separated
 54   1,  29 |        the supreme good, and love us too as partakers with them
 55   1,  30 |         For that He who commanded us to love our neighbour made
 56   1,  30 |          thou likewise;" teaching us that he is our neighbour
 57   1,  30 |          would be in turn to help us is our neighbour. For the
 58   1,  30 |           or who ought to show to us, the of offices of mercy
 59   1,  30 |           neighbour. For He shows us pity on account of His own
 60   1,  30 |           His; that is, He pities us that we may fully enjoy
 61   1,  31 |           uses rather than enjoys us~
 62   1,  31 |           except that which makes us happy, and that all other
 63   1,  31 |        explanation. For God loves us, and Holy Scripture frequently
 64   1,  31 |  Scripture frequently sets before us the love He has towards
 65   1,  31 |           the love He has towards us. In what way then does He
 66   1,  31 |        what way then does He love us? As objects of use or as
 67   1,  31 |           enjoyment? If He enjoys us, He must be in need of good
 68   1,  31 |           be in need of good from us, and no sane man will say
 69   1,  31 |      goodness." He does not enjoy us then, but makes use of us.
 70   1,  31 |         us then, but makes use of us. For if He neither enjoys
 71   1,  31 |           neither enjoys nor uses us, I am at a loss to discover
 72   1,  31 |           in what way He can love us. ~
 73   1,  32 |            however, in His use of us, has reference to His own
 74   1,  32 |      which God is said to make of us has no reference to His
 75   1,  33 |          have received of God for us or for themselves; and then
 76   1,  33 |         themselves; and then urge us thus refreshed to go on
 77   1,  33 |        thing that we love is near us, it is a matter of course
 78   1,  34 |         that He might dwell among us, the apostle yet says: "
 79   1,  34 |       binds, and as it were seals us, so that we are able to
 80   1,  34 |        that nothing should detain us on the way, when not even
 81   1,  34 |         way, is willing to detain us, but wishes us rather to
 82   1,  34 |          to detain us, but wishes us rather to press on; and,
 83   1,  36 |         of Scripture which builds us up in love is not perniciously
 84   2, arg |        spirit in which it behoves us to address ourselves to
 85   2,   2 |       signs which have been given us of God, and which are contained
 86   2,   2 |    Scriptures, were made known to us through men those, namely,
 87   2,   7 |        His will, what He commands us to desire and what to avoid.
 88   2,   7 |       will of necessity excite in us the thought of our mortality
 89   2,   7 |          the death that is before us, and crucify all the motions
 90   2,   8 |                           But let us now go back to consider
 91   2,  10 |          because all men who with us use the Latin tongue call
 92   2,  12 |          abiding, but faith feeds us as babes, upon milk, in
 93   2,  13 |      those who spoke Latin before us pronounced it? For whether
 94   2,  16 |         in Scripture, and telling us what Adam means, what Eve,
 95   2,  16 |          it were, be destroyed in us, if to save the body we
 96   2,  16 |         of numbers, too, prevents us from understanding things
 97   2,  16 |          when it is placed before us in connection with time,
 98   2,  16 |           too, are closed against us and obscured by ignorance
 99   2,  18 |        instruments, that may help us to lay hold upon spiritual
100   2,  26 |         them, nor do they involve us in superstition, or enervate
101   2,  26 |         superstition, or enervate us by luxury, if they only
102   2,  27 |         mere human invention, aid us in interpreting Scripture~
103   2,  27 |           men have handed down to us, not as arrangements of
104   2,  27 |           they are pointed out to us, or infer from experience. ~
105   2,  28 |  chronology of past times assists us very much in understanding
106   2,  30 |           arts experience teaches us to infer the future from
107   2,  30 |           unless some duty compel us, a matter on which I do
108   2,  33 |         way as the following. Let us suppose some man to have
109   2,  39 |   arrangements of men that enable us to carry on intercourse
110   2,  39 |     intercourse with those around us. I think, however, there
111   2,  40 |          toil, which every one of us, when going out under the
112   2,  41 |           Passover sacrificed for us, and there is nothing the
113   2,  41 |       Christ more clearly teaches us than the call which He himself
114   3,   2 |           of the Trinity, directs us to say: "et Deus erat verbum" (
115   3,   2 |        there is nothing to hinder us to point the sentence according
116   3,   2 |     promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all
117   3,   2 |          the fear of God. Receive us; we have wronged no man."
118   3,   2 |          carnis et spiritus" [let us cleanse ourselves from all
119   3,   2 |        coinquintione carnis" [let us cleanse ourselves from all
120   3,   2 |          the fear of God, receive us]. Such ambiguities of punctuation,
121   3,   3 |           maketh intercession for us?" the answer "No" being
122   3,   9 |       Holy Spirit ministered unto us the aids and consolations
123   3,   9 |     practice, have handed down to us a few rites in place of
124   3,  10 |      foregoing rule, which guards us against taking a metaphorical
125   3,  10 |          heed to that which tells us not to take a literal form
126   3,  12 |      whose holiness is put before us as an example, are wholly
127   3,  16 |         wounded and crucified for us. Scripture says: "If thine
128   3,  18 |            therefore have pity on us, O Lord." ~
129   3,  26 |          Thou, Lord, hast crowned us with Thy favour as with
130   3,  28 |         Scripture, it remains for us to make it clear by the
131   3,  31 |        are sometimes indicated to us under one person (for it
132   3,  33 |        said that works were given us by God as the reward of
133   3,  33 |           that it did not come to us from God; not keeping in
134   3,  33 |           our time, and has given us much labour and trouble
135   3,  33 |      manifest among you" has made us much more watchful and diligent
136   3,  34 |       former; not that he grudges us the clear apprehension of
137   3,  34 |            but that he deals with us as a physician, giving us
138   3,  34 |         us as a physician, giving us a wholesome exercise for
139   3,  34 |        and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the
140   3,  37 |        Lord and His body, directs us, when Scripture speaks of
141   3,  37 |           so this last rule shows us that statements are sometimes
142   4,   3 |        got to say does not escape us whilst we are thinking about
143   4,   6 |          characters, and to guide us from this world of wickedness
144   4,   7 |         Ghost which is given unto us"? Now were any man unlearnedly
145   4,   7 |         Ghost which is given unto us." But these and other matters
146   4,   7 |            these men, and to show us that we must distinguish
147   4,   7 |         all genius? Therefore let us acknowledge that the canonical
148   4,   9 |           of argument it may cost us. Only two conditions are
149   4,  10 |         if they do not understand us for whose sake we speak?
150   4,  14 |        then, God forbid that with us the priest should applaud
151   4,  14 |          forbid, I say, that with us there should be such terrible
152   4,  14 |          then, in one place, "Let us seek this abode: the neighbouring
153   4,  15 |   expedient at a given moment for us to say, or to be heard saying,
154   4,  15 |          of all? And who can make us say what we ought, and in
155   4,  16 |           even holy angels assist us, no one learns aright the
156   4,  18 |          the truths which deliver us from eternal misery and
157   4,  18 |          eternal misery and bring us to eternal happiness; and
158   4,  18 |           presence of God is with us, so that what we say is
159   4,  19 | understand as much as it is given us to understand? Are we in
160   4,  20 |            which is the mother of us all;" and so on. And in
161   4,  20 |        the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us
162   4,  20 |         us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the
163   4,  20 |           faith; or ministry, let us wait on our ministering;
164   4,  20 |           the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works
165   4,  20 |        works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
166   4,  20 |          the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the
167   4,  20 |       what has been translated to us in the same order of words
168   4,  20 |       these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
169   4,  20 |        for us, who can be against us? He that spared not His
170   4,  20 |          but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with
171   4,  20 |         with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay
172   4,  20 |           maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from
173   4,  20 |        for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
174   4,  20 |            through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that
175   4,  20 |         shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which
176   4,  20 |         strong emotion that makes us feel the fervour of eloquence. ~
177   4,  21 |       must have an expositor. Let us, then, study these various
178   4,  21 |         the custom handed down to us from the Lord, and to do
179   4,  21 |       Lord has not first done for us: so that the cup which is
180   4,  21 |          and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?' When the
181   4,  21 |           joy; only be mindful of us when your virginity shall
182   4,  21 |        Passover is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the
183   4,  21 |  sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast, not with
184   4,  22 |        the hearer's feelings with us, when once it has been sufficiently
185   4,  26 |          to carry the hearer with us, that is, to compel his
