 83   3,  36 |        And we make mistakes if we do not understand this, from
 84   4,   2 |     either of wrong or right, why do not good men study to engage
 85   4,   3 |        men of slower intellect, I do not think it of so much
 86   4,   3 |          are scarcely any who can do both things that is, speak
 87   4,   3 |      speak well, and, in order to do this, think of the rules
 88   4,   3 |        and phrases from those who do speak, why should not men
 89   4,   3 |         far as they can? And what do we find from the examples

 91   4,   5 |         knowledge of Scripture; I do not mean by reading them
 92   4,   5 |         greater service if he can do both), I would rather send
 93   4,   6 |           them. Where, however, I do not understand these writers,
 94   4,   6 |           the same kind as that I do understand. The very obscurity,
 95   4,   6 |        passages where the learned do note its presence, the matters

 97   4,   7 |           of elocution. As then I do not affirm that the apostle
 98   4,   7 |          rules of eloquence, so I do not deny that his wisdom
 99   4,   7 |    contemptible; not because they do not possess, but because
100   4,   7 |         possess, but because they do not display, the eloquence
101   4,   7 |    commend the style. And I shall do so, quoting principally
102   4,   7 |           he made. And, indeed, I do not know whether this figure
103   4,   9 |           no trouble to those who do not care to read them, and
104   4,  10 |          all in speaking, if they do not understand us for whose
105   4,  10 |         will avoid all words that do not teach; and if instead
106   4,  10 |       such words, or because they do not at the time occur to
107   4,  10 |      heart. If it appear right to do this, it ought to be done
108   4,  11 |      disliked, nor in making them do what they shrank from, but
109   4,  12 |           them what they ought to do, but urging them to do what
110   4,  12 |         to do, but urging them to do what they already know ought
111   4,  12 |                  If however, they do not yet know this, they
112   4,  12 |        knowing what they ought to do, do it not. Therefore, to
113   4,  12 |    knowing what they ought to do, do it not. Therefore, to teach
114   4,  12 |         their own hands either to do or not to do. But who would
115   4,  12 |      hands either to do or not to do. But who would say that
116   4,  12 |          that it is their duty to do what they do not know? On
117   4,  12 |        their duty to do what they do not know? On the same principle,
118   4,  13 |           so fastidious that they do not care for truth unless
119   4,  14 |        only is it not our duty to do, but it is our duty to shun
120   4,  14 |           it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?" O eloquence,
121   4,  14 |        madness! For what shall we do in the end thereof? And
122   4,  14 |         apt to think that men who do not use it, but employ a
123   4,  14 |           a more chastened style, do so because they cannot attain
124   4,  16 |          First Epistle to Timothy do we not read: "These things
125   4,  16 |         has been told previously. Do we not read there: "Rebuke
126   4,  16 |           the psalm: "Teach me to do Thy will; for Thou art my
127   4,  17 |          eloquent, even though he do not carry with him the assent
128   4,  18 |       Cases, again, which have to do with neither of these, and
129   4,  18 |          not to get the hearer to do, or to pronounce judgment
130   4,  18 |        and not before the saints? Do ye not know that the saints
131   4,  18 |         law one with another: why do ye not rather take wrong?
132   4,  18 |        not rather take wrong? Why do ye not rather suffer yourselves
133   4,  18 |          to be defrauded? Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and
134   4,  19 |           but are not willing, to do it, then great matters must
135   4,  19 |         the hearer to be moved to do something instead of being
136   4,  20 |       desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? For
137   4,  20 |           he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that
138   4,  20 |            Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them
139   4,  20 |           affirm; for I confess I do not know. This I know, however,
140   4,  20 |        which he could very easily do by changing some words for
141   4,  20 |         others is to me), while I do not in my own speech, however
142   4,  20 |           other does; but if they do not happen to be at hand,
143   4,  21 |          us from the Lord, and to do nothing that our Lord has
144   4,  24 |      incredible, not to make them do what they knew they ought
145   4,  24 |           they knew they ought to do but were unwilling to do.
146   4,  24 |          do but were unwilling to do. To break down hardness
147   4,  25 |       style, he persuades them to do what they are aware they
148   4,  25 |           are aware they ought to do, but do not; in the temperate
149   4,  25 |       aware they ought to do, but do not; in the temperate style,
150   4,  26 |        these three merits. For we do not like even what we say
151   4,  26 |      pleasure as well. Again, why do we enforce what we teach
152   4,  26 |          will listen to him if he do not arrest attention by
153   4,  27 |         observe, that observe and do: but do not ye after their
154   4,  27 |          that observe and do: but do not ye after their works;
155   4,  27 |           works; for they say and do not;" and therefore it is
156   4,  27 |           their own objects, they do not dare to teach their
157   4,  27 |        doctrines, sitting as they do in the high places of ecclesiastical
158   4,  27 |                     Now these men do good to many by preaching
159   4,  27 |    preaching what they themselves do not perform; but they would
160   4,  27 |           perform; but they would do good to very many more if
161   4,  27 |          say with their lips: Why do you not do yourself what
162   4,  27 |        their lips: Why do you not do yourself what you bid me
163   4,  27 |          yourself what you bid me do? And thus they cease to
164   4,  29 |            If, however, he cannot do even this, let his life
165   4,  29 |         blamed, supposing them to do it without deception. For
166   4,  29 |          In one sense, then, they do say the things, and in another
167   4,  29 |         and in another sense they do not say them; for both these
168   4,  29 |         observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their
169   4,  29 |          that observe and do; but do not ye after their works; "
170   4,  29 |        hear from their lips, that do; what ye see in their lives,
171   4,  29 |          see in their lives, that do ye not; "for they say and
172   4,  29 |         ye not; "for they say and do not." And so, though they
173   4,  29 |         not." And so, though they do not, yet they say. But in
