These men, because 1125 3, 6 | for even in the temporal and carnal offerings and types, 1126 3, 6 | temporal and carnal offerings and types, though they did not 1127 3, 6 | they sold all their goods, and laid their price at the 1128 3, 6 | distributed among the needy, and consecrated themselves wholly 1129 3, 7 | And if ever any of them endeavoured 1130 3, 7 | reference to the worship and adoration of the creature. 1131 3, 7 | representing the wide ocean, and all the other waters besides 1132 3, 7 | flowing forth unceasingly, and whose hair is the winding 1133 3, 7 | within a sweet covering, and yet it is not food for men, 1134 3, 7 | command is that we should love and serve the One God, who is 1135 3, 7 | either as gods, or as signs and representations of gods. 1136 3, 7 | signified by such signs, and engage your mind in the 1137 3, 7 | more free from the burden and the livery of bondage to 1138 3, 8 | bondage to useful signs, and who were (so to speak) near 1139 3, 8 | so to speak) near to it, and, interpreting the signs 1140 3, 8 | which these were signs. And out of such were formed 1141 3, 8 | but brought to nothing and cleared out of the way all 1142 3, 8 | which Scripture frequently and justly speaks of as fornication, 1143 3, 9 | is in bondage to signs, and who not~ 1144 3, 9 | divinely appointed, whose force and significance he understands, 1145 3, 9 | honour the sign which is seen and temporal, but that to which 1146 3, 9 | such a man is spiritual and free even at the time of 1147 3, 9 | belonged the patriarchs and the prophets, and all those 1148 3, 9 | patriarchs and the prophets, and all those among the people 1149 3, 9 | ministered unto us the aids and consolations of the Scriptures. 1150 3, 9 | understand, but our Lord Himself, and apostolic practice, have 1151 3, 9 | rites in place of many, and these at once very easy 1152 3, 9 | majestic in their significance, and most sacred in the observance; 1153 3, 9 | the Sacrament of baptism, and the celebration of the body 1154 3, 9 | celebration of the body and blood of the Lord.

And it is better even to be 1160 3, 10 | is literal or figurative. And the way is certainly as 1161 3, 10 | reference to the love of God and one's neighbour; soundness 1162 3, 10 | to the knowledge of God and one's neighbour. Every man, 1163 3, 10 | has attained to the love and knowledge of God and his 1164 3, 10 | love and knowledge of God and his neighbour. Now all these 1165 3, 10 | the men of his own country and time are accustomed to condemn, 1166 3, 10 | are accustomed to condemn, and nothing worthy of praise 1167 3, 10 | custom of his companions; and thus it comes to pass, that 1168 3, 10 | what is not so opposed, and if at the same time the 1169 3, 10 | nothing except charity, and condemns nothing except 1170 3, 10 | condemns nothing except lust, and in that way fashions the 1171 3, 10 | to things past, future, and present. It is a narrative 1172 3, 10 | prophecy of the future, and a description of the present. 1173 3, 10 | all these tend to nourish and strengthen charity, and 1174 3, 10 | and strengthen charity, and to overcome and root out 1175 3, 10 | charity, and to overcome and root out lust. ~ 1176 3, 10 | of God for His own sake, and the enjoyment of ones self 1177 3, 10 | the enjoyment of ones self and one's neighbour in subordination 1178 3, 10 | aims at enjoying one's self and one's neighbour, and other 1179 3, 10 | self and one's neighbour, and other corporeal things, 1180 3, 10 | corrupting one's own soul and body, is called vice; but 1181 3, 10 | another is called crime. And these are the two classes 1182 3, 10 | have exhausted the soul, and reduced it to a kind of 1183 3, 10 | advantage is called benevolence. And here prudence comes first; 1184 3, 11 | ascribe severity to God and the saints~ 1185 3, 11 | Every severity, therefore, and apparent cruelty, either 1186 3, 11 | of the dominion of lust. And if its meaning be clear, 1187 3, 11 | But, after thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasures 1188 3, 11 | against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous 1189 3, 11 | well-doing, seek for glory, and honour, and immortality, 1190 3, 11 | seek for glory, and honour, and immortality, eternal life; 1191 3, 11 | them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but 1192 3, 11 | unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, 1193 3, 11 | indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul 1194 3, 11 | evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile."

But these are 1197 3, 11 | as to obscure the sense, and make it allegorical or enigmatical, 1198 3, 11 | set thee over the nations, and over the kingdoms, to root 1199 3, 11 | the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, 1200 3, 11 | root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw 1201 3, 11 | pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down," there is 1202 3, 11 | language is figurative, and to be referred to the end 1203 3, 12 | interpreting those sayings and actions which are ascribed 1204 3, 12 | which are ascribed to God and the saints and which yet 1205 3, 12 | ascribed to God and the saints and which yet seem to the unskilful 1206 3, 12 | inexperienced to be sinful, and which are ascribed to God, 1207 3, 12 | are wholly figurative, and the hidden kernel of meaning 1208 3, 12 | purpose for which luxurious and profligate men are accustomed 1209 3, 12 | by a life of good works; and the man who wins this, while 1210 3, 12 | most precious ointment. And so that which in the case 1211 3, 12 | banquet among the drunken and licentious, it does not 1212 3, 12 | what is suitable to times and places and persons, and 1213 3, 12 | suitable to times and places and persons, and not rashly 1214 3, 12 | and places and persons, and not rashly charge men with 1215 3, 12 | disgusting eagerness of appetite. And any sane man would prefer 1216 3, 12 | our reason for using them, and our manner of seeking them, 1217 3, 12 | earthly kingdom, foreshadowing and foretelling the kingdom 1218 3, 12 | foretelling the kingdom of heaven. And on account of the necessity 1219 3, 12 | at that time blameless: and for the same reason it was 1220 3, 12 | time, except through lust. And everything of this nature 1221 3, 12 | not only in its historical and literal, but also in its 1222 3, 12 | but also in its figurative and prophetical sense, and to 1223 3, 12 | figurative and prophetical sense, and to interpret as bearing 1224 3, 12 | tunics reaching to the heels, and furnished with sleeves, 1225 3, 13 | is to be turned by good and great men to some prudent 1226 3, 14 | there is no absolute right and wrong~ 1227 3, 14 | look upon them as sins, and do not consider that their 1228 3, 14 | or the other necessities and adornments of human life, 1229 3, 14 | people of other nations and other times. And, distracted 1230 3, 14 | nations and other times. And, distracted by this endless 1231 3, 14 | its own custom for right; and that, since every nation 1232 3, 14 | has a different custom, and right must remain unchangeable, 1233 3, 14 | diversity of national customs. And this precept, when it is 1234 3, 14 | of God, that is, himself. And no one wishes an injury 1235 3, 15 | to God for His own sake, and love to one's self and one' 1236 3, 15 | and love to one's self and one's neighbour for God' 1237 3, 15 | carefully turn over in our minds and meditate upon what we read 1238 3, 16 | for interpreting commands and prohibitions~ 1239 3, 16 | Son of man," says Christ, "and drink His blood, ye have 1240 3, 16 | sufferings of our Lord, and that we should retain a 1241 3, 16 | we should retain a sweet and profitable memory of the 1242 3, 16 | that His flesh was wounded and crucified for us. Scripture 1243 3, 16 | thirst, give him drink;" and this is beyond doubt a command 1244 3, 16 | expression is figurative; and, while it is possible to 1245 3, 16 | you back to benevolence, and interpret the coals of fire 1246 3, 16 | that is, let him destroy and lose that perverted and 1247 3, 16 | and lose that perverted and unnatural use which he now 1248 3, 16 | he now makes of his life, and through which his desires 1249 3, 16 | Give to the godly man, and help not a sinner." The 1250 3, 17 | embraced a life of celibacy and made himself a eunuch for 1251 3, 17 | in Scripture about loving and ruling a wife are not to 1252 3, 17 | literally, but figuratively; and if he has determined to 1253 3, 17 | said, "Marry thy daughter, and so shalt thou have performed 1254 3, 18 | if we take it literally and not figuratively, can be 1255 3, 18 | lust has dominion over him, and endeavours to find support 1256 3, 18 | intended to overthrow it. And the wretched man does not 1257 3, 18 | be turned to a good use, and that which they embrace 1258 3, 18 | accompanied with charity, and the use of the latter with 1259 3, 18 | use one wife with lust. And I look with greater approval 1260 3, 18 | in temporal enjoyments. And those men to whom the apostle 1261 3, 18 | as a wise man uses food and drink only for the sake 1262 3, 18 | for the sake of offspring. And, accordingly, if these last 1263 3, 18 | there is lust in enjoying. And assuredly those men of whom 1264 3, 18 | regard to wives is abuse and intemperance, as is proved 1265 3, 18 | Thou, O God of our fathers, and blessed is Thy holy and 1266 3, 18 | and blessed is Thy holy and glorious name for ever; 1267 3, 18 | the heavens bless Thee, and all Thy creatures. Thou 1268 3, 18 | creatures. Thou merriest Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife 1269 3, 18 | Eve his wife for an helper and stay. ... And now, O Lord. 1270 3, 18 | an helper and stay. ... And now, O Lord. Thou knowest 1271 3, 19 | of propagating the race; and what they themselves, who 1272 3, 19 | not right even to honour and praise good and holy men, 1273 3, 19 | to honour and praise good and holy men, because they themselves 1274 3, 19 | themselves when they are honoured and praised, swell with pride, 1275 3, 19 | distinction the more frequently and the more widely they are 1276 3, 19 | the tongue of flattery, and so become so light that 1277 3, 19 | then, learn how trying and difficult it is for themselves 1278 3, 20 | when they were despised. And certainly neither sort of 1279 3, 20 | loud praises of believers, and cried down by the slanderous 1280 3, 20 | things, as occasion served, and were not corrupted; and 1281 3, 20 | and were not corrupted; and in the same way the saints 1282 3, 20 | necessities of their own times, and were not in bondage to lust 1283 3, 20 | they knew that their wives and concubines were solicited 1284 3, 20 | concubines were solicited and debauched. ~ 1285 3, 21 | the hands of his impious and unnatural son, he not only 1286 3, 21 | repentance after he was subdued; and when he was baffled in this 1287 3, 21 | so impious an adulterer and parricide had been hurried. 1288 3, 21 | And with what moderation and 1289 3, 21 | And with what moderation and self-restraint those men 1290 3, 21 | away by the heat of passion and by temporal prosperity, 1291 3, 21 | who had but one ewe-lamb, and whose neighbour, though 1292 3, 21 | before his guest to eat. And David's anger being kindled 1293 3, 21 | should be put to death, and the lamb restored fourfold 1294 3, 21 | had wittingly committed. And when he had been shown this, 1295 3, 21 | he had been shown this, and God's punishment had been 1296 3, 21 | against the adultery alone. And hence we may understand 1297 3, 21 | this lust did not come and pass away like a guest, 1298 3, 21 | but reigned as a king. And about him Scripture is not 1299 3, 22 | reader has taken literally, and which, though the authors 1300 3, 23 | And when he reads of the sins 1301 3, 23 | although he may be able to see and to trace out in them a figure 1302 3, 23 | himself in his own good deeds, and in comparison with his own 1303 3, 23 | storms that are to be avoided and the shipwrecks that are 1304 3, 23 | that men might everywhere and always tremble at that saying 1305 3, 23 | God resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble. ~ 1306 3, 25 | And when it is shown to be figurative, 1307 3, 25 | leaven of the Pharisees," I and in a good sense, as when 1308 3, 25 | leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of 1309 3, 25 | that signify now one thing and now another, signify either 1310 3, 25 | of Judah has prevailed;" and again, stands for the devil 1311 3, 25 | Be wise as serpents;" and again, in a bad sense, " 1312 3, 25 | in secret is pleasant." And so in a great many other 1313 3, 25 | the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full 1314 3, 25 | passing away from the Jews and coming to the Gentiles, 1315 3, 25 | because "He has put down one and set up another," certain 1316 3, 25 | read in the Apocalypse,l and also the Holy Spirit, as 1317 3, 25 | rivers of living water;" and many other things besides 1318 3, 25 | And in the same way other objects 1319 3, 26 | God, "Take hold of shield and buckler and stand up for 1320 3, 26 | hold of shield and buckler and stand up for mine help," 1321 3, 26 | favour as with a shield." And yet we are not so to understand 1322 3, 26 | the breastplate of faith and love." ~ 1323 3, 27 | harmony with the truth. And if a man in searching the 1324 3, 27 | are trying to interpret; and assuredly the Holy Spirit, 1325 3, 27 | truth. For what more liberal and more fruitful provision 1326 3, 29 | by the Greek name tropes, and use them more freely and 1327 3, 29 | and use them more freely and in greater variety than 1328 3, 29 | unacquainted with the Scriptures, and have learnt these figures 1329 3, 29 | recognize them in Scripture, and are very much assisted by 1330 3, 29 | instance, allegory, enigma, and parable. However, nearly 1331 3, 29 | So may you flourish? " And this is the figure of speech 1332 3, 29 | which was not made for fish, and yet gets its name from fish? 1333 3, 29 | gets its name from fish? And this is the figure called 1334 3, 29 | example, those called irony and antiphrasis. Now in irony 1335 3, 29 | place for what is not there, and get the answer, "There is 1336 3, 29 | for he is a good man." And what illiterate man is there 1337 3, 29 | these figures of speech? And yet the knowledge of these 1338 3, 29 | we are unacquainted with; and in this way many obscure 1339 3, 30 | triumphantly against the Donatists (and herein showed himself of 1340 3, 30 | the secrets of Scripture. And of these rules, the first 1341 3, 30 | first relates to the Lord and His body, the second to 1342 3, 30 | the third to the promises and the law, the fourth to species 1343 3, 30 | law, the fourth to species and genus, the fifth to times, 1344 3, 30 | the seventh to the devil and his body. Now these rules, 1345 3, 30 | John is commanded to write; and after much and various reasoning, 1346 3, 30 | to write; and after much and various reasoning, arrives 1347 3, 30 | the churches themselves. And throughout this long and 1348 3, 30 | And throughout this long and full discussion, although 1349 3, 30 | it would be too tedious and troublesome to collect all 1350 3, 30 | they were thoroughly known and duly applied, we should 1351 3, 30 | a little book of rules, and, as it were, to make keys 1352 3, 30 | were, to make keys for, and put windows in, the secret 1353 3, 30 | recesses of the whole law, and render visible the treasures 1354 3, 30 | that are to many invisible. And if this system of rules 1355 3, 30 | shut shall be laid open, and what is obscure shall be 1356 3, 30 | great secrets of the law," and not what he does say, "the 1357 3, 30 | recesses of the whole law;" and if he had not said "What 1358 3, 30 | have said what was true, and he would not, by attributing 1359 3, 30 | facts to his very elaborate and useful work, have led the 1360 3, 30 | into false expectations. And I have thought it right 1361 3, 30 | understanding Scripture), and that no more may be expected 1362 3, 30 | advances as a Donatist. And now I shall briefly indicate 1363 3, 31 | first is about the Lord and His body, and it is this, 1364 3, 31 | about the Lord and His body, and it is this, that, knowing 1365 3, 31 | knowing as we do that the head and the body that is, Christ 1366 3, 31 | the body that is, Christ and His Church are sometimes 1367 3, 31 | but one seed of Abraham, and that is Christ), we need 1368 3, 31 | from the body to the head, and yet no change made in the 1369 3, 31 | bridegroom with ornaments, and adorned me as a bride with 1370 3, 31 | as a bride with jewels;" and yet it is, of course, a 1371 3, 31 | these two refers to the head and which to the body, that 1372 3, 31 | that is, which to Christ and which to the Church. ~ 1373 3, 32 | the rule is about the true and the mixed body of the Lord, 1374 3, 32 | of the Lord, or the true and the counterfeit, or some 1375 3, 32 | seem to be in His Church. And hence this rule might be 1376 3, 32 | itself to be at present both; and this because the good fish 1377 3, 32 | this because the good fish and the bad are for the time 1378 3, 32 | son of the free woman." And in the same way, when God 1379 3, 32 | darkness light before them, and crooked things straight: 1380 3, 32 | things will I do unto them, and not forsake them;" He immediately 1381 3, 32 | shall cut him asunder and appoint him his portion 1382 3, 33 | relates to the promises and the law, and may be designated 1383 3, 33 | the promises and the law, and may be designated in other 1384 3, 33 | as relating to the spirit and the letter, which is the 1385 3, 33 | be also named, of grace and the law. This, however, 1386 3, 33 | aggravated, the Pelagian heresy. And the efforts of Tichonius 1387 3, 33 | the question about faith and works, he said that works 1388 3, 33 | Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God 1389 3, 33 | faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." 1390 3, 33 | has arisen in our time, and has given us much labour 1391 3, 33 | has given us much labour and trouble in defending against 1392 3, 33 | through our Lord Jesus Christ and which (according to the 1393 3, 33 | made us much more watchful and diligent to discover in 1394 3, 33 | against, was less attentive and anxious on this point, namely, 1395 3, 33 | learns from this passage, and believes, that each of them 1396 3, 34 | Tichonius is about species and genus. For so he calls it, 1397 3, 34 | difference between a part and a species. The rule is of 1398 3, 34 | the limits of the city, and which are more suitable 1399 3, 34 | in regard to Judea also, and Egypt, and Assyria, or any 1400 3, 34 | to Judea also, and Egypt, and Assyria, or any other nation 1401 3, 34 | that particular country, and apply more fitly to the 1402 3, 34 | which this is a species. And hence these words have come 1403 3, 34 | is laid down specially, and what generally, in any given 1404 3, 34 | reaches far beyond him, and which are only properly 1405 3, 34 | understood when applied to Christ and His Church, of which Solomon 1406 3, 34 | he can find much better and more surely in the genus. 1407 3, 34 | defiled it by their own way, and by their doings: their way 1408 3, 34 | had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith 1409 3, 34 | wherewith they had polluted it: and I scattered them among the 1410 3, 34 | them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through 1411 3, 34 | according to their way, and according to their doings, 1412 3, 34 | the flesh did both perform and endure all that is here 1413 3, 34 | prophet begins to say, "And I will sanctify my great 1414 3, 34 | profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that 1415 3, 34 | the species is overstepped and the genus taken in. For 1416 3, 34 | For he goes on to say: "And I shall be sanctified in 1417 3, 34 | from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, 1418 3, 34 | you out of all countries, and will bring you into your 1419 3, 34 | sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from 1420 3, 34 | from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will 1421 3, 34 | heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put 1422 3, 34 | spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony 1423 3, 34 | heart out of your flesh and I will give you a heart 1424 3, 34 | give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within 1425 3, 34 | put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my 1426 3, 34 | to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my commandments, 1427 3, 34 | shall keep my commandments, and do them. And ye shall dwell 1428 3, 34 | commandments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land 1429 3, 34 | I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and 1430 3, 34 | and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. I will 1431 3, 34 | promised to their fathers and our fathers; and that there 1432 3, 34 | fathers and our fathers; and that there is here a promise 1433 3, 34 | into the matter can doubt. And that saying of the apostle, 1434 3, 34 | grace of the New Testament and its excellence in comparison 1435 3, 34 | heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put 1436 3, 34 | spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony 1437 3, 34 | heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart 1438 3, 34 | possession of sentient life; and by sentient he understood 1439 3, 34 | understood intelligent life. And thus the spiritual Israel 1440 3, 34 | speak of the spiritual, and although now speaking of 1441 3, 34 | exercise for our spirit. And therefore we ought to take 1442 3, 34 | ought to take this saying "And I will bring you into your 1443 3, 34 | you into your own land," and what he says shortly afterwards, 1444 3, 34 | as if repeating himself, "And ye shall dwell in the land 1445 3, 34 | gathered out of all nations, and destined to reign forever 1446 3, 34 | the land of the living; and we are to understand that 1447 3, 34 | promised to them in the sure and immutable purpose of God; 1448 3, 34 | unchangeableness of the promise and purpose, the same as if 1449 3, 34 | according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us 1450 3, 34 | done in the arrangement and purpose of God, which was 1451 3, 34 | take place in its own time, and he himself speaks of it 1452 3, 34 | there will be a new heaven and a new earth, wherein the 1453 3, 34 | shall be unable to dwell. And so it is truly said to the 1454 3, 35 | mentioned in Scripture. And he says that this rule applies 1455 3, 35 | His face shone as the sun, and His raiment was white as 1456 3, 35 | Christ uttered the prediction and the first part of the day 1457 3, 35 | join the previous night, and count it as a whole day, 1458 3, 35 | count it as a whole day, and to the latter part of the 1459 3, 35 | which was just dawning, and count it also a whole day, 1460 3, 35 | make out the three days and three nights during which 1461 3, 35 | continually be in my mouth." And their force is exactly the 1462 3, 35 | multiplied by ten, as seventy and seven hundred (whence the 1463 3, 35 | into ten gives one hundred, and twelve into twelve gives 1464 3, 35 | twelve gives one hundred and forty-four, which last number 1465 3, 35 | much wider application, and extends to many subjects. 1466 3, 36 | over in their proper place. And we make mistakes if we do 1467 3, 36 | book of Genesis we read, "And the Lord God planted a garden 1468 3, 36 | garden eastwards in Eden; and there He put the man whom 1469 3, 36 | man whom He had formed. And out of the ground made the 1470 3, 36 | is pleasant to the sight, and good for food." Now here 1471 3, 36 | after God had formed man and put him in the garden; whereas 1472 3, 36 | that God planted a garden, and there put the man whom He 1473 3, 36 | is pleasant to the sight, and good for food. Here there 1474 3, 36 | the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of 1475 3, 36 | tree of knowledge of good and evil." Next the river is 1476 3, 36 | which watered the garden, and which was parted into four 1477 3, 36 | sources of four streams; and all this has reference to 1478 3, 36 | arrangements of the garden. And when this is finished, there 1479 3, 36 | events came after all this: "And the Lord God took the man, 1480 3, 36 | the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden 1481 3, 36 | did we not accurately mark and understand the recapitulation 1482 3, 36 | tongues, in their countries, and in their nations." And, 1483 3, 36 | and in their nations." And, again, when the sons of 1484 3, 36 | lands, after their nations." And it is added in reference 1485 3, 36 | generations, in their nations; and by these were the nations 1486 3, 36 | the earth after the flood. And the whole earth was of one 1487 3, 36 | earth was of one language and of one speech." Now the 1488 3, 36 | addition of this sentence, "And the whole earth was of one 1489 3, 36 | earth was of one language and of one speech," seems to 1490 3, 36 | one language in common. And so it is by way of recapitulation 1491 3, 36 | recapitulation it is added, "And the whole earth was of one 1492 3, 36 | earth was of one language and of one speech," the narrative 1493 3, 36 | a multitude of tongues. And, accordingly, we are forthwith 1494 3, 36 | the building of the tower, and of this punishment being 1495 3, 36 | God upon their arrogance; and it was after this that they 1496 3, 36 | rained fire from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even 1497 3, 36 | shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, 1498 3, 36 | come down to take it away; and he that is in the field, 1499 3, 36 | give heed to these sayings, and not to look behind them, 1500 3, 36 | given heed to or despised? And yet because Scripture says, "
