  5   1,   7 |             conception of a nature, than which nothing more excellent
  6   1,  11 |         foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of
  7   1,  11 |         weakness of God is stronger than men." And thus, though Wisdom
  8   1,  18 |       greater good remained for him than to be evil, when he has
  9   1,  22 |              the unchangeable good, than when he turns from that

 12   1,  27 |             God is to be loved more than any man, each man ought
 13   1,  27 |          man ought to love God more than himself. Likewise we ought
 14   1,  27 |             love another man better than our own body, because all
 15   1,  28 |          could not be given to more than one person; if two persons

 20   1,  33 |            in God, it is God rather than man that you enjoy. For
 21   1,  36 |            deceived is a better man than he who deceives, seeing
 22   1,  36 |         that it is better to suffer than to commit injustice. Now
 23   1,  36 |            meaning out of Scripture than the writer intended, goes
 24   1,  37 |           more angry with Scripture than he is with himself. And
 25   1,  38 |            when it is in possession than while it is still an object
 26   1,  38 |            set a higher value on it than really belongs to it, so
 27   1,  38 |           he finds it of less value than he thought; on the contrary,

 33   2,  11 |       rather an emotion of the mind than any part of a thought we

 35   2,  12 |         suitable form of expression than the "calves;" because these
 36   2,  13 |            solecism is nothing else than the putting of words together
 37   2,  13 |           idiom of another language than that any deeper meaning
 38   2,  13 |         foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of
 39   2,  13 |         weakness of God is stronger than men 1 Cor.1:25 ). If any

 41   2,  13 |             est hominibus"(stronger than men) is not free from ambiguity,
 42   2,  14 |          better to commit to memory than those kinds of words and

 52   2,  37 |           executing these movements than to attend to them while
 53   2,  37 |             is unsound more quickly than he apprehends the rules
 54   2,  37 |            as exhibitions of truth, than assistance in arguing or

 63   3,   7 |        works of man have sunk lower than they who make gods of the
 64   3,   9 |            unknown but useful signs than, by interpreting them wrongly,
 65   3,  12 |      transitory objects less freely than is the custom of those among

 71   3,  27 |            to the Sacred Scriptures than that the same words might

 77   4,   3 |      listening to eloquent speakers than by following rules for eloquence.
 78   4,   3 |            rules, are more eloquent than many who have learnt these;
 79   4,   4 |         require to be roused rather than instructed, in order that

 83   4,   5 |            imitating, eloquent men, than advise him to spend time

 89   4,   7 |             is their border greater than your border?" At the same
 90   4,  13 |         assent implies nothing more than to confess that they are
 91   4,  15 |             more by piety in prayer than by gifts of oratory; and
 92   4,  19 |           is there anything greater than God Himself? Is nothing,
 93   4,  19 |            to speak of it otherwise than in the method of calm discussion,
 94   4,  20 |         which is better known to me than it is to others, and than
 95   4,  20 |           than it is to others, and than that of others is to me),

 99   4,  21 |            is almost more tolerable than thine; for adultery tampers
100   4,  22 |              longer without variety than the majestic style. For

103   4,  28 |             please by matter rather than by words; thinks that a
104   4,  28 |         words with no other purpose than to make the truth plain,
105   4,  28 |            is a more painful object than if his body too were deformed,
106   4,  28 |           without eloquence, rather than eloquently without wisdom. ~
