 3 pref,   0|         secrets to others. These rules I propose to teach to those
 4 pref,   0|         failed to understand the rules here laid down. Others,
 5 pref,   0|       though they understand the rules, yet in their attempts to
 6 pref,   0|           will cry out that such rules are not necessary for any
 7 pref,   0|     though not instructed in any rules of interpretation, at the
 8 pref,   0|         understand, but also the rules of interpretation they follow.
 9 pref,   0|      hand, the man who lays down rules for interpretation is like
10 pref,   0|          is in possession of the rules which I here attempt to
11 pref,   0|          holding fast by certain rules, and following up certain
12   2,   9 |       laid down in them, whether rules of life or rules of faith,
13   2,   9 |         whether rules of life or rules of faith, are to be searched
14   2,   9 |          memory be defective, no rules can supply the want. ~
15   2,  20 |        too, belong the following rules: To tread upon the threshold
16   2,  21 |       has arrived, by use of the rules discovered and laid down
17   2,  36 |                    chap. 36. The rules of eloquence are true, though
18   2,  36 |           There are also certain rules for a more copious kind
19   2,  36 |      called eloquence, and these rules are not the less true that
20   2,  37 |        thorny discipline of such rules. It is just as if a man
21   2,  37 |         if a man wishing to give rules for walking should warn
22   2,  37 |   quickly than he apprehends the rules for it. A dull man, on the
23   2,  37 |      much less does he grasp the rules. And in regard to all these
24   3, arg |  literally. The author lays down rules by which we may decide whether
25   3, arg |         then goes on to lay down rules for the interpretation of
26   3, arg |         and illustrate the seven rules of Tichonius the Donatist,
27   3,  17 |      Accordingly, another of our rules for understanding the Scriptures
28   3,  30 |                    chap. 30. The rules of Tichonius the Donatist
29   3,  30 |      which he called the Book of Rules, because in it he laid down
30   3,  30 |         in it he laid down seven rules, which are, as it were,
31   3,  30 |          Scripture. And of these rules, the first relates to the
32   3,  30 |          and his body. Now these rules, as expounded by their author,
33   3,  30 |         without using any of his rules; finding, indeed, that there
34   3,  30 |         of the kind to which his rules apply. As, for example,
35   3,  30 |          whatever is made of the rules. This is enough for an example,
36   3,  30 |      require none of these seven rules for their elucidation. ~
37   3,  30 |   however, when commending these rules, attributes so much value
38   3,  30 |        to write a little book of rules, and, as it were, to make
39   3,  30 |       there are certain mystical rules which hold the key to the
40   3,  30 | invisible. And if this system of rules be received as I communicate
41   3,  30 |        shall, if he follow these rules as pathways of light, be
42   3,  30 |       There are certain mystical rules which hold the key to some
43   3,  30 |        indicate what these seven rules teach or advise. ~
44   3,  37 |                    Now all these rules, except the one about the
45   4,   1 |      that I am about to lay down rules of rhetoric such as I have
46   4,   1 |        me. Not that I think such rules of no use, but that whatever
47   4,   3 |             But the theories and rules on this subject (to which,
48   4,   3 |       speakers than by following rules for eloquence. And even
49   4,   3 |          ability be wanting, the rules of rhetoric are either not
50   4,   3 |          they are discussing the rules themselves. Indeed, I think
51   4,   3 |         to do this, think of the rules of speaking while they are
52   4,   3 |       saying it according to the rules of art. Nevertheless, in
53   4,   3 |         of eloquent men, we find rules of eloquence carried out
54   4,   3 |        that they exemplify these rules; it is not that they use
55   4,   3 |     acquaintance with rhetorical rules, are more eloquent than
56   4,   7 |    apostle had here followed the rules of rhetoric, would not every
57   4,   7 |        apostle was guided by the rules of eloquence, so I do not
58   4,   7 |          perceived and said, the rules which are laid down in the
