But it is delightful that the 162 2, 20 | replied, "That is not strange, but it would have been very 163 2, 21 | attention to birthdays, but are now commonly called 164 2, 21 | the names they now bear.

But once that his hearers are 383 4, 5 | But as some men employ these 384 4, 5 | speak with eloquence too. But we must beware of the man 385 4, 5 | committing them to memory, but by understanding them aright 386 4, 5 | read to remember the words, but are careless about knowing 387 4, 5 | retentive of the words, but see with the eyes of the 388 4, 5 | please by his mode of speech.

For eloquent 391 4, 5 | multitude of the eloquent, but "the multitude of the wise 392 4, 5 | avoid unwholesome sweets.

But how beautiful it is, and 418 4, 7 | have chosen as an example. But an intelligent reader will 419 4, 7 | composed by man's art and care, but it flowed forth in wisdom 420 4, 7 | writers are not only wise but eloquent also, with an eloquence 421 4, 8 | But although I take some examples 422 4, 8 | are themselves regarded, but coming next to it.

But I am not now treating of 433 4, 10 | required further explanation; but perhaps some trouble may 434 4, 11 | teacher must speak clearly, but not inelegantly~ 435 4, 11 | do what they shrank from, but in making clear what was 436 4, 11 | intellects not to love words, but the truth in words.

But who would say that it is 442 4, 12 | of itself give pleasure; but the truth itself, when exhibited 443 4, 12 | falsity that gives pleasure; but as it is true that they 444 4, 13 | But for the sake at those who 445 4, 13 | to keep up the attention, but he must also sway the mind 446 4, 13 | of style, nothing remains but to subdue him by the power 447 4, 14 | is it not our duty to do, but it is our duty to shun and 448 4, 14 | view to gaining assent, but merely for the sake of being 449 4, 14 | being read with pleasure. But may God avert from His Church 450 4, 14 | listened to with pleasure. But this, of course, cannot 451 4, 14 | says nothing that is false, but which buries small and unimportant 452 4, 14 | sought after with eagerness, but is not attained without 453 4, 14 | exuberance of language here; but it is too florid to be pleasing 454 4, 14 | pleasing to serious minds. But people who are fond of this 455 4, 14 | that men who do not use it, but employ a more chastened 456 4, 15 | is suitable for a divine. But when the hour for speech 457 4, 15 | it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father 458 4, 16 | there: "Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father?" 459 4, 16 | There, too, he says: "But speak thou the things which 460 4, 16 | anything, nor he who watereth, but God who giveth the increase? 461 4, 16 | as teacher to disciple: "But continue thou in the things 462 4, 18 | judgment upon anything, but only to give him pleasure, 463 4, 18 | that not their temporal but their eternal salvation, 464 4, 18 | least, then, is very little; but to be faithful in that which 465 4, 18 | affairs (and what were these but matters of money?), he says: " 466 4, 18 | judge between his brethren? But brother goes to law with 467 4, 18 | his hands? God forbid. No; but all this is done for the 468 4, 18 | matters of little moment. But we are treating of the manner 469 4, 18 | either eloquence or power, but in a subdued and humble 470 4, 19 | them in a majestic tone, but in a subdued tone when he 471 4, 19 | speaking to those who ought, but are not willing, to do it, 472 4, 19 | he may learn something?

And here an 482 4, 20 | should have been by the law. But the Scripture has concluded 483 4, 20 | difficulties of questions, but also, while doing this, 484 4, 20 | to a man who is present but says nothing about it, it 485 4, 20 | style: "Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father; 486 4, 20 | Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low 487 4, 20 | members: "Owe no man anything, but to love one another."
