All truth is of Him who says, "I am the truth." 24 pref, 0| He who reads to an audience pronounces 25 pref, 0| words he sees before him: he who teaches reading, does it 26 pref, 0| himself.

But, because men, who in their eagerness to enjoy 53 1, 14 | their likes. And just as he who ministers to a bodily hurt 54 1, 14 | reality the folly of those who despised God, so the latter 55 1, 14 | is true wisdom in those who overcome the devil. We used 56 1, 14 | of a woman to deliver us who fell through a woman: He 57 1, 14 | came as a man to save us who are men, as a mortal to 58 1, 14 | as a mortal to save us who are mortals, by death to 59 1, 14 | mortals, by death to save us who were dead. And those who 60 1, 14 | who were dead. And those who can follow out the matter 61 1, 14 | out the matter more fully, who are not hurried on by the 62 1, 15 | reflect how great He was who suffered so great things 63 1, 17 | against us, what could He, who was willing to lay Himself 64 1, 18 | bosom of the Church.

For that He who commanded us to love our 89 1, 30 | prophets, asked Him, "And who is my neighbour?" He told 90 1, 30 | told him of a certain man who, going down from Jerusalem 91 1, 30 | neighbour to this man except him who took pity upon him and came 92 1, 30 | care for him.

Those, again, who do not seek at all because 128 2, 7 | God can be seen by those who as far as possible die to 129 2, 8 | writings, then, will be he who in the first place has read 130 2, 9 | In all these books those who fear God and are of a meek 131 2, 10 | mean an ox, because all men who with us use the Latin tongue 132 2, 11 | knowledge of languages.

Now, assuredly, 170 2, 23 | it comes to pass that men who lust after evil things are, 171 2, 23 | and in the case of those who practice superstitious observances, 172 2, 23 | on the ground that those who profess them speak lies, 173 2, 23 | the fellowship of demons, who, with the Devil their prince, 174 2, 24 | signification; and so, any one who knows both languages uses 175 2, 25 | because even now, if any one who is unaccustomed to such 176 2, 26 | shorthand characters, those who are acquainted with which 177 2, 29 | things is made known to those who are ignorant of it.

But all 183 2, 31 | from the opinion of those who said that there is no resurrection 184 2, 32 | with God. For as the man who narrates the order of events 185 2, 32 | create that order; and as he who describes the situations 186 2, 32 | arrangements of man; and as he who points out the stars and 187 2, 32 | ordained; in the same way, he who says, "When the consequent 188 2, 34 | propositions.

For example, the man who says that seven and three 192 2, 35 | any circumstances; but he who says that it rained on the 193 2, 36 | the perversity of those who put it to a bad use.

But as it would be 212 3, 3 | that after the inquiry, "Who shall lay anything to the 213 3, 3 | interrogative: "Shall God who justifieth?" the answer " 214 3, 3 | shall have the inquiry, "Who is he that condemneth?" 215 3, 3 | interrogative, "Is it Christ who died? yea, rather, who is 216 3, 3 | Christ who died? yea, rather, who is risen again? who is even 217 3, 3 | rather, who is risen again? who is even at the right hand 218 3, 3 | at the right hand of God? who also maketh intercession 219 3, 3 | whether with that of a man who gives an affirmative answer, 220 3, 3 | interrogation, or with that of a man who asks the whole question 221 3, 5 | adherence to the letter. For he who follows the letter takes 222 3, 6 | schoolmaster. And those who clung obstinately to such 223 3, 6 | could not believe that one who refused to observe them 224 3, 6 | came from God. But those who did believe, from among 225 3, 6 | fixed the thoughts of those who observed them on the worship 226 3, 6 | the worship of the One God who made heaven and earth. These 227 3, 6 | churches did this, because men who had for their gods idols 228 3, 7 | described by a poet of theirs, who says, if I recollect aright, " 229 3, 7 | for men, but for swine. He who knows the gospel knows what 230 3, 7 | grant, however, that they who make gods of the works of 231 3, 7 | have sunk lower than they who make gods of the works of 232 3, 7 | love and serve the One God, who is the Maker of all those 233 3, 8 | bondage to useful signs, and who were (so to speak) near 234 3, 9 | chap. 9.

He, however, who does not understand what 239 3, 11 | righteous judgment of God; who will render to every man 240 3, 11 | according to his deeds: to them who, by patient continuance 241 3, 11 | this is addressed to those who, being unwilling to subdue 242 3, 12 | good works; and the man who wins this, while following 243 3, 14 | chap. 14. Error of those who think that there is no absolute 244 3, 14 | variety of customs, some who were half asleep (as I may 245 3, 14 | as I may say) that is, who were neither sunk in the 246 3, 16 | which a man's pride is cured who bewails that he has been 247 3, 16 | has been the enemy of one who came to his assistance in 248 3, 16 | when our Lord says, "He who loveth his life shall lose 249 3, 17 | often happens that a man who has attained, or thinks 250 3, 17 | commands given to those who are still in the lower grades 251 3, 18 | greater approval on the man who uses the fruitfulness of 252 3, 18 | object, than on the man who enjoys the body of one wife 253 3, 18 | less near to God than those who, though they had each of 254 3, 19 | But those who, giving the rein to lust, 255 3, 19 | and what they themselves, who are entangled in the meshes 256 3, 20 | bondage to lust as they are who refuse to believe these 257 3, 21 | the case of another son who had been guilty of no crime, 258 3, 21 | his crime by a prophet, who, when he had come to show 259 3, 21 | parable of the poor man who had but one ewe-lamb, and 260 3, 21 | of the poor man himself who had the one ewe-lamb, nothing 261 3, 22 | the habits of the good men who since our Lord's advent 262 3, 27 | assuredly the Holy Spirit, who through him spake these 263 3, 29 | greater variety than people who are unacquainted with the 264 3, 29 | believe. Nevertheless those who know these tropes recognize 265 3, 29 | the ordinary speech of men who have learnt no grammar, 266 3, 29 | use the vulgar idiom. For who does not say, "So may you 267 3, 29 | speech called metaphor. Who does not speak of a fish-pond 268 3, 29 | as when we say to a man who is behaving badly, "You 269 3, 30 | One Tichonius, who, although a Donatist himself, 270 3, 32 | Cedar pertain to Ishmael, who "shall not be heir with 271 3, 33 | what escaped Tichonius, who, having no enemy to guard 272 3, 33 | itself is the gift of Him who "has dealt to every man 273 3, 33 | to suffer for His sake." Who, then, can doubt that each 274 3, 34 | in use among logicians, who discuss with great acuteness 275 3, 34 | imparted to all nations, no one who looks into the matter can 276 3, 35 | suppose that the writer who says "after eight days," 277 3, 35 | whole days; while the writer who says "after six days," counted 278 3, 37 | the head of the wicked, who are in a sense his body, 279 3, 37 | made up not only of those who are manifestly out of the 280 3, 37 | the way, but of those also who, though they really belong 281 3, 37 | ground down on the earth, who sendeth to all nations," 282 4, 1 | answered by anticipation those who were likely to take exception 283 4, 1 | expectations of readers who may think that I am about 284 4, 2 | either of truth or falsehood, who will dare to say that truth 285 4, 2 | For example, that those who are trying to persuade men 286 4, 2 | and frigid, and somnolent? Who is such a fool as to think 287 4, 3 | proper age. But only by those who can learn them quickly; 288 4, 3 | shrink from sayings any one who cannot learn this art quickly 289 4, 3 | importance as to wish men who have arrived at mature age 290 4, 3 | and even of these, not all who are to be fitted for usefulness 291 4, 3 | the Church, but only those who are not yet engaged in any 292 4, 3 | service. For even those who have learnt them, and who 293 4, 3 | who have learnt them, and who speak with fluency and elegance, 294 4, 3 | think there are scarcely any who can do both things that 295 4, 3 | words and phrases from those who do speak, why should not 296 4, 3 | respect? We know numbers who, without acquaintance with 297 4, 3 | more eloquent than many who have learnt these; but we 298 4, 3 | these; but we know no one who is eloquent without having 299 4, 3 | up and living among men who speak correctly. For without 300 4, 5 | to be undertaken by one who can argue and speak with 301 4, 5 | we must beware of the man who abounds in eloquent nonsense, 302 4, 5 | opinion is held even by those who think that the art of rhetoric 303 4, 5 | never." If, then, the men who teach the principles of 304 4, 5 | more ought we to feel it who are the sons and the ministers 305 4, 5 | their meaning. For there are who read and yet neglect them; 306 4, 5 | far above these the men who are not so retentive of 307 4, 5 | these, however, is the man who, when he wishes, can repeat 308 4, 5 | especially necessary for the man who is bound to speak wisely, 309 4, 5 | are writers of the Church who have expounded the Holy 310 4, 5 | is sufficient for those who are studious and at leisure 311 4, 6 | which to me, and to those who think with me, is very easily 312 4, 6 | venture to affirm that all who truly understand what these 313 4, 6 | that is becoming in men who justly claim the highest 314 4, 6 | the highest authority, and who are evidently inspired of 315 4, 6 | had time, show those men who cry up their own form of 316 4, 7 | For who would not see what the apostle 317 4, 7 | refutes certain false apostles who had gone out from the Jews, 318 4, 7 | care of all the churches.
