 76   2,  33 |            merits; the validity of an inference depends on the
 77   2,  33 |       statement is true, "If he is an orator, he is a man." But

 80   2,  34 |           consequent is, "If he is an orator, he is a man;" of
 81   2,  34 |           orator, he is a man;" of an inconsequent, "If he is

102   3,  10 |          because no one can confer an advantage on another which
103   3,  12 |       holiness is put before us as an example, are wholly figurative,

115   3,  24 |            Now we find out whether an expression is literal or
116   3,  25 |       wrung out." The following is an example of the same object

118   3,  29 |         words taken literally give an absurd meaning, we ought
119   3,  30 |          rules. This is enough for an example, for it would be
120   3,  32 |   participation of the sacraments. An example of this is that

123   3,  37 |          art of rhetoric. And when an expression of this sort

134   4,  10 |            ought to have, so great an anxiety about teaching that

144   4,  20 |   something more definite. We have an example of the calm, subdued
145   4,  20 |          promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are
146   4,  20 |          but God is one." And here an objection occurs which he
147   4,  20 |     whatever occurs to the mind as an objection that might be
148   4,  20 |       temperate style: "Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as

155   4,  21 |            act of wickedness, such an insult to God the great
156   4,  21 |         provest thyself worse than an adulteress. The fact that
157   4,  21 |         beautified by such arts is an impeachment of God's handiwork,
158   4,  24 |        from their hearts and lives an evil so cruel and inveterate;
159   4,  24 |           I thought I had produced an effect. For the applause
