Nay, 1231 4, 10 | am speaking of the mode in which men who desire to 1232 4, 11 | eloquence consists, not in making people like what 1233 4, 11 | what they disliked, nor in making them do what they 1234 4, 11 | what they shrank from, but in making clear what was obscure; 1235 4, 11 | and unpolished the form in which it is put, and who, 1236 4, 11 | when they have succeeded in their object, find the plain 1237 4, 11 | love words, but the truth in words. For of what service 1238 4, 12 | end by putting his thought in any shape no matter what, 1239 4, 12 | the hearer must be pleased in order to secure his attention, 1240 4, 12 | so he must be persuaded in order to move him to action. 1241 4, 12 | For what men know, it is in their own hands either to 1242 4, 12 | first two ends if we fail in the third? Neither is it 1243 4, 12 | give pleasure; for when, in the course of an address, 1244 4, 12 | truth itself, when exhibited in its naked simplicity, gives 1245 4, 13 | for truth unless it is put in the form of a pleasing discourse, 1246 4, 13 | place has been assigned in eloquence to the art of 1247 4, 13 | consent that the speaker in urging the truth gives careful 1248 4, 13 | pleased with the manner in which it is said, if it 1249 4, 13 | confession, and clothed in beauty of style, nothing 1250 4, 14 | Beauty of diction to be in keeping with the matter~ 1251 4, 14 | horrible thing is committed in the land: the prophets prophesy 1252 4, 14 | so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?" O eloquence, 1253 4, 14 | hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces." For to this God 1254 4, 14 | madness! For what shall we do in the end thereof? And assuredly 1255 4, 14 | In a serious assembly, moreover, 1256 4, 14 | something of this sort occurs in a letter of the blessed 1257 4, 14 | eloquence, such as we find in his subsequent letters, 1258 4, 14 | difficulty. He says, then, in one place, "Let us seek 1259 4, 14 | shows both that he can speak in that style. for he has done 1260 4, 15 | doubt that if he succeed in this object, and so far 1261 4, 15 | will succeed more by piety in prayer than by gifts of 1262 4, 15 | thirsty soul to God, to drink in what he is about to pour 1263 4, 15 | about to distribute. For, as in regard to every matter of 1264 4, 15 | us say what we ought, and in the way we ought, except 1265 4, 15 | way we ought, except Him in whose hand both we and our 1266 4, 15 | for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall 1267 4, 15 | your Father which speaketh in you." The Holy Spirit, then, 1268 4, 15 | Spirit, then, speaks thus in those who for Christ's sake 1269 4, 15 | persecutors; why not also in those who deliver Christ' 1270 4, 16 | the position of a teacher in the Church. In the First 1271 4, 16 | a teacher in the Church. In the First Epistle to Timothy 1272 4, 16 | father?" Is it not said in the Second Epistle: "Hold 1273 4, 16 | the word of truth?" And in the same place: "Preach 1274 4, 16 | Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, 1275 4, 16 | longsuffering and doctrine." And so in the Epistle to Titus, does 1276 4, 16 | man despise thee. Put them in mind to be subject to principalities 1277 4, 16 | think? Does the apostle in any way contradict himself, 1278 4, 16 | God who is thus addressed in the psalm: "Teach me to 1279 4, 16 | disciple: "But continue thou in the things which thou hast 1280 4, 17 | He then who, in speaking, aims at enforcing 1281 4, 17 | who can say little things in a subdued style, moderate 1282 4, 17 | subdued style, moderate things in a temperate style, and great 1283 4, 17 | style, and great things in a majestic style:" as if 1284 4, 17 | style:" as if he had taken in also the three ends mentioned 1285 4, 17 | and had embraced the whole in one sentence thus: "He, 1286 4, 17 | who can say little things in a subdued style, in order 1287 4, 17 | things in a subdued style, in order to give instruction, 1288 4, 17 | instruction, moderate things in a temperate style, in order 1289 4, 17 | things in a temperate style, in order to give pleasure, 1290 4, 17 | pleasure, and great things in a majestic style, in order 1291 4, 17 | things in a majestic style, in order to sway the mind." ~ 1292 4, 18 | as laid down by himself, in regard to legal questions: 1293 4, 18 | not, however, have done so in regard to ecclesiastical 1294 4, 18 | moderate, to put it for little. In questions like ours, however, 1295 4, 18 | assuredly to be observed, even in small affairs of money, 1296 4, 18 | says: "He that is faithful in that which is least, is 1297 4, 18 | least, is faithful also in much."

And in the same way where he reasons 1334 4, 20 | confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was 1335 4, 20 | it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. 1336 4, 20 | he also states the reason in these words: "For if there 1337 4, 20 | In the following words of the 1338 4, 20 | younger as sisters." And also in these: "I beseech you, therefore, 1339 4, 20 | this hortatory passage is in the temperate style of eloquence; 1340 4, 20 | it are the most beautiful in which, as if paying what 1341 4, 20 | another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 1342 4, 20 | one another; not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; 1343 4, 20 | slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 1344 4, 20 | serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; 1345 4, 20 | rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing 1346 4, 20 | tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; distributing to 1347 4, 20 | this is brought to a close in a period of two members: " 1348 4, 20 | these also, though expressed in single clauses, are terminated 1349 4, 20 | Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting 1350 4, 20 | honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, 1351 4, 20 | rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, 1352 4, 20 | chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying: but 1353 4, 20 | et carnis prividentiam ne in concupiscentiis feceritis", 1354 4, 20 | words. And how this sounds in the Greek language, in which 1355 4, 20 | sounds in the Greek language, in which the apostle spoke, 1356 4, 20 | those who are better skilled in that tongue may determine. 1357 4, 20 | has been translated to us in the same order of words 1358 4, 20 | run very harmoniously even in the original tongue. ~ 1359 4, 20 | authors are very defective in that grace of speech which 1360 4, 20 | of speech which consists in harmonious endings. Whether 1361 4, 20 | if any one who is skilled in this species of harmony 1362 4, 20 | divinely-inspired men are not defective in any of those points which 1363 4, 20 | which he has been taught in the schools of the grammarians 1364 4, 20 | importance; and he will find in them many kinds of speech 1365 4, 20 | great beauty, beautiful even in our language, but especially 1366 4, 20 | but especially beautiful in the original, none of which 1367 4, 20 | none of which canoe found in those writings of which 1368 4, 20 | far from being deficient in the musical training from 1369 4, 20 | employed by some of them, in the Hebrew language at least; 1370 4, 20 | language at least; though, in order to give an accurate 1371 4, 20 | has not preserved these in his translation. I, however ( 1372 4, 20 | is to me), while I do not in my own speech, however modestly 1373 4, 20 | well pleased to find them in the sacred authors very 1374 4, 20 | just spoken of, chiefly in that it is not so much decked 1375 4, 20 | of expression that comes in its way. It is enough for 1376 4, 20 | of valor with those arms in the heat of battle, not 1377 4, 20 | the ground. The apostle in the following passage is 1378 4, 20 | salvation. Giving no offense in anything, that the ministry 1379 4, 20 | ministry be not blamed: but in all things approving ourselves 1380 4, 20 | as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, 1381 4, 20 | of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, 1382 4, 20 | patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 1383 4, 20 | afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, in strifes, 1384 4, 20 | necessities, in distresses, in strifes, in imprisonments, 1385 4, 20 | distresses, in strifes, in imprisonments, in tumults, 1386 4, 20 | strifes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in 1387 4, 20 | imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in 1388 4, 20 | in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 1389 4, 20 | in labours, in watchings, in fastings; by pureness, by 1390 4, 20 | And in the same way, writing to 1391 4, 20 | be overcome by charity, in assured reliance on the 1392 4, 20 | for the slaughter.) Nay, in all these things we are 1393 4, 20 | the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." ~ 1394 4, 20 | Again, in writing to the Galatians, 1395 4, 20 | whole epistle is written in the subdued style, except 1396 4, 20 | ornaments such as appear in the passages just quoted, 1397 4, 20 | bestowed upon you labour in vain. Brethren, I beseech 1398 4, 20 | my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, 1399 4, 20 | zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only 1400 4, 20 | children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ 1401 4, 20 | again until Christ be formed in you, I desire to be present 1402 4, 20 | change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you". Is there 1403 4, 21 | as they are exemplified in the writings of men who, 1404 4, 21 | of blessed memory writes in the subdued style in his 1405 4, 21 | writes in the subdued style in his treatise on the sacrament 1406 4, 21 | the sacrament of the cup. In this book he resolves the 1407 4, 21 | discussion of the point in question. "Observe," he 1408 4, 21 | that we are instructed, in presenting the cup, to maintain 1409 4, 21 | the cup which is offered in remembrance of Him should 1410 4, 21 | foreshadowed and proclaimed in all the types and declarations 1411 4, 21 | Scripture. For we find that in the book of Genesis this 1412 4, 21 | Genesis this very circumstance in regard to the sacrament 1413 4, 21 | sufferings typically set forth, in the case of Noah, when he 1414 4, 21 | the other circumstances in detail, as it is only necessary 1415 4, 21 | forth our Lord's passion. In the same way we see the 1416 4, 21 | Lord's supper prefigured in the case of Melchizedek 1417 4, 21 | the Holy Spirit declares in the Psalms, where the Father 1418 4, 21 | order of Melchizedek.'" In this passage, and in all 1419 4, 21 | In this passage, and in all of the letter that follows, 1420 4, 21 | because the object he has in view demands, not beauty 1421 4, 21 | and proofs. Accordingly, in the introduction to his 1422 4, 21 | end of the staff that was in his hand, there rose up 1423 4, 21 | was at that time declared in a mystery that the Lord 1424 4, 21 | crucified, should abolish in His flesh the sins of the 1425 4, 21 | fire on the earth.'" And in the same style he pursues 1426 4, 21 | mother the Church rejoices in them, and in them flourishes 1427 4, 21 | Church rejoices in them, and in them flourishes more abundantly; 1428 4, 21 | flourishes more abundantly; and in proportion as bright virginity 1429 4, 21 | virginity adds to her numbers, in the same proportion does 1430 4, 21 | increase." And at another place in the end of the epistle, " 1431 4, 21 | and piety, who are strong in faith, humble in fear, steadfast 1432 4, 21 | strong in faith, humble in fear, steadfast in the endurance 1433 4, 21 | humble in fear, steadfast in the endurance of suffering, 1434 4, 21 | endurance of suffering, meek in the endurance of injury, 1435 4, 21 | one mind and of one heart in brotherly peace. And every 1436 4, 21 | vows. Ye who are advanced in age, exercise control over 1437 4, 21 | endure bravely, advance in spirituality, finish your 1438 4, 21 | says: "She was a virgin not in body only, but also in mind; 1439 4, 21 | not in body only, but also in mind; not mingling the purity 1440 4, 21 | dross of hypocrisy; serious in speech; prudent in disposition; 1441 4, 21 | serious in speech; prudent in disposition; sparing of 1442 4, 21 | sparing of words; delighting in study; not placing her confidence 1443 4, 21 | not placing her confidence in uncertain riches, but in 1444 4, 21 | in uncertain riches, but in the prayer of the poor; 1445 4, 21 | prayer of the poor; diligent in labour; reverent in word; 1446 4, 21 | diligent in labour; reverent in word; accustomed to look 1447 4, 21 | There is nothing haughty in her eyes, nothing bold in 1448 4, 21 | in her eyes, nothing bold in her words, nothing wanton 1449 4, 21 | her words, nothing wanton in her gestures: her bearing 1450 4, 21 | I detail her sparingness in food, her superabundance 1451 4, 21 | food, her superabundance in duty, the one falling beneath 1452 4, 21 | them to their duty even in these respects by the power 1453 4, 21 | with paint. And the first, in dealing with this topic, 1454 4, 21 | a painter should depict in colours that rival nature' 1455 4, 21 | that thou art not immodest in thy behaviour towards men, 1456 4, 21 | that thou art not polluted in mind by these meretricious 1457 4, 21 | meretricious deceits, yet, in corrupting and violating 1458 4, 21 | incentives to vice, that women, in their fear that they may 1459 4, 21 | pleasure of the lie either in thine own consciousness 1460 4, 21 | thine own consciousness or in that of another? For he 1461 4, 21 | though he is taught adultery in thee. Thou art the evil 1462 4, 21 | majestic throughout. Now in these two authors whom I 1463 4, 21 | specimens of the rest, and in other ecclesiastical writers 1464 4, 22 | The necessity of variety in style~ 1465 4, 22 | is necessary to stir up in order to carry the hearer' 1466 4, 22 | must be on our guard, lest, in striving to carry to a higher 1467 4, 22 | matter that we have to treat in a quieter style, we can 1468 4, 23 | particular style should be used. In the majestic style, for 1469 4, 23 | And the speaker has it in his discretion to use the 1470 4, 23 | majestic would be allowable, in order that the majestic 1471 4, 23 | this style must be used in alternation with the other 1472 4, 23 | the concurrence of any one in a course of action. In the 1473 4, 23 | one in a course of action. In the majestic style, then, 1474 4, 23 | majestic style, then, and in the quiet likewise, both 1475 4, 23 | unadorned and expressed in the quiet style, in order 1476 4, 23 | expressed in the quiet style, in order to give greater effect 1477 4, 24 | account that he is speaking in the majestic style; for 1478 4, 24 | example, when at Caesarean in Mauritania I was dissuading 1479 4, 24 | sort was attempted there. In many other cases besides 1480 4, 24 | too, has made a change in many; but it was to teach 1481 4, 24 | eloquently expressed, even in the temperate style, produce 1482 4, 24 | delighted change their habits in consequence, whereas all 1483 4, 25 | beauty of expressions, is not in itself an adequate end; 1484 4, 25 | style may have its influence in securing their prompter 1485 4, 25 | prompter compliance, or in making them adhere to it 1486 4, 25 | but unless he succeeds in persuading, his eloquence 1487 4, 25 | secured its object. Now in the subdued style, he persuades 1488 4, 25 | that what he says is true; in the majestic style, he persuades 1489 4, 25 | ought to do, but do not; in the temperate style, he 1490 4, 25 | ornate. But what use is there in attaining such an object 1491 4, 25 | zealously, and to persevere in it with constancy. Accordingly, 1492 4, 25 | constancy. Accordingly, even in the temperate style we must 1493 4, 25 | rather seeking to aid him in the pursuit of the good 1494 4, 26 | chap. 26. In every style the orator should 1495 4, 26 | Now in regard to the three conditions 1496 4, 26 | not like even what we say in the subdued style to pall 1497 4, 26 | compel his assert by calling in the assistance of Him of 1498 4, 26 | one narrates a story, even in the subdued style, what 1499 4, 26 | The subdued style, again, in its own naked simplicity, 1500 4, 26 | defense, and offers battle in its own naked simplicity,
