 25   1,  22 |           he does not enjoy himself at his best, because he is

 29   1,  30 |         compelled to admit, what is at once most absurd and most
 30   1,  31 |            enjoys nor uses us, I am at a loss to discover in what

 35   2,   6 |              again, who do not seek at all because they have what
 36   2,   7 |          when understood it strikes at some of our sins, or, when

 40   2,   9 |           commit them to memory, or at least so as not to remain
 41   2,  12 |           so widely as not to touch at some point. Accordingly

 47   2,  14 |          give way to the corrected, at least when they are copies
 48   2,  16 |           of our Lord, "Enter ye in at the strait gate!" As, then,

 51   2,  21 |          this is not to be wondered at, when we consider that even
 52   2,  21 |           easy to observe the point at which this movement has
 53   2,  22 |            madness. And among those at least who have any sort

 58   2,  25 |              or would be carried on at great inconvenience; and

 61   2,  28 |           made a journey into Egypt at the time when Jeremiah the
 62   2,  28 |        Plato learnt theology, lived at a date prior to the books

 68   2,  33 |          and the conclusion arrived at is true. But in the case

 78   3,   2 |              and of which I treated at sufficient length when I
 79   3,   2 |                            Now look at some examples. The heretical
 80   3,   3 |            risen again? who is even at the right hand of God? who
 81   3,   4 |             of proper words, as far at least as Holy Scripture
 82   3,   6 |         among whom the first Church at Jerusalem was formed, showed
 83   3,   6 |         goods, and laid their price at the apostles' feet to be
 84   3,   9 |             spiritual and free even at the time of his bondage,
 85   3,   9 | consolations of the Scriptures. But at the present time, after
 86   3,   9 |            place of many, and these at once very easy to perform,
 87   3,  10 |           is not so opposed, and if at the same time the authority
 88   3,  10 |    affection of the mind which aims at the enjoyment of God for
 89   3,  10 |    affection of the mind which aims at enjoying one's self and
 90   3,  12 |             to strip the body naked at a banquet among the drunken
 91   3,  12 |            having several wives was at that time blameless: and
 92   3,  12 |             which could not be done at the present time, except
 93   3,  14 |           is no such thing as right at all. Such men did not perceive,
 94   3,  15 |             when taken literally it at once gives a meaning of

 99   3,  22 |           which were done as duties at that time, cannot now be

102   3,  25 |             are used metaphorically at one time in a good sense,
103   3,  25 |           one time in a good sense, at another in a bad, as in
104   3,  27 |        Scriptures endeavours to get at the intention of the author
105   3,  29 |           although he knows nothing at all about either the nature
106   3,  30 |          various reasoning, arrives at the conclusion that the
107   3,  32 |        Church declares itself to be at present both; and this because
108   3,  33 |        question that originated, or at least greatly aggravated,
109   3,  34 |         species, makes a transition at that point from the species
110   3,  34 |        speaks of the grace as given at a time when those to whom
111   3,  36 |              seems to indicate that at the time when the nations

113   4,   1 |             Christian Doctrine, was at the commencement divided
114   4,   3 |           set aside for the purpose at a fit and proper age. But
115   4,   3 |           never thoroughly learn it at all. Whether this be true
116   4,   3 |           wish men who have arrived at mature age to spend time
117   4,   3 |         even though he does not aim at this, but is solely intent
118   4,   3 |          writing, or dictating, and at last also in speaking, the
119   4,   3 |             of as aids to eloquence at the time when they were
120   4,   4 |     ignorant both what is occurring at present and what is probable
121   4,   5 |           can repeat the words, and at the same time correctly
122   4,   5 |          those who are studious and at leisure to exhaust them. ~
123   4,   6 |         these writers say, perceive at the same time that it could

125   4,   7 |         learned or unlearned, laugh at him? And yet here we find
126   4,   7 |          taken the further trouble, at least in regard to the passages
127   4,   7 |         saying: "Woe to you who are at ease in Zion, and trust
128   4,   7 |          differently those of them, at least, who would have shrunk
129   4,   7 |    wakefulness: "Woe to you who are at ease in Zion, and trust
130   4,   7 |          greater than your border?" At the same time also that
131   4,   7 |       appropriately varied: "ye are at ease," "ye trust," "pass
132   4,   7 |            the herd." So that it is at the discretion of the speaker
133   4,   7 |        whether he suspend his voice at the first, the third, and
134   4,   7 |             mind; wisdom not aiming at eloquence, yet eloquence
135   4,   9 |   understood with great difficulty, at whatever length, however
136   4,   9 |           brought before the people at all, or only on rare occasions
137   4,  10 |         seeing that there is no use at all in speaking, if they
138   4,  10 |            can find words which are at once pure and intelligible,
139   4,  10 |              or because they do not at the time occur to him, he
140   4,  10 |            wearisome when he dwells at length upon things that
141   4,  12 |             himself, it is not said at all to the man who does
142   4,  13 |                    But for the sake at those who are so fastidious
143   4,  15 |          knows what it is expedient at a given moment for us to
144   4,  17 |         then who, in speaking, aims at enforcing what is good,
145   4,  18 |             matters deserve so much at his hands? God forbid. No;
146   4,  19 |           treated in all these ways at different times, quietly
147   4,  20 |            refuted, lest it turn up at a time when no one will
148   4,  20 |            is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast
149   4,  20 |              in the Hebrew language at least; though, in order
150   4,  20 |            they do not happen to be at hand, it does not seek for
151   4,  20 |            risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who
152   4,  20 |           the subdued style, except at the end, where it rises
153   4,  20 |              ye have not injured me at all. Ye know how, through
154   4,  20 |        preached the gospel unto you at the first. And my temptation
155   4,  21 |     thirsting people. And so it was at that time declared in a
156   4,  21 |         mother's joy increase." And at another place in the end
157   4,  21 |          fulfill, who having hearts at leisure for God and for
158   4,  21 |             spurn the humble, laugh at the weak, or shun the indigent?
159   4,  21 |          ought to be known for such at the very threshold, and
160   4,  21 |            very threshold, and show at the very entrance that there
161   4,  22 |      unvaried, but should alternate at intervals with the other
162   4,  24 |            tears. For example, when at Caesarean in Mauritania

164   4,  25 |      conclude, that the end arrived at by the two styles last mentioned
165   4,  25 |       temperate style properly aims at, viz., to please by beauty
166   4,  25 |            of eloquence what we aim at effecting when we use the
167   4,  26 |         style the orator should aim at perspicuity, beauty, and
168   4,  26 |             ought constantly to aim at, and as far as possible
169   4,  26 |      opposing opinion, which seemed at its first statement to be
170   4,  26 |          and censures it should aim at inducing the hearer to strive
