 11   1,  11 |          come to Him do wisely, He when He came to us was considered
 12   1,  11 |            foolishly. And since we when we come to Him become strong,

 36   1,  30 |     offices of mercy may be denied when our Lord extends the rule

 49   1,  38 |         much more shall we love it when we reach it! For there is
 50   1,  38 |          loved with greater ardour when it is in possession than

175   3,  11 |         destruction of their lust. When, however, the dominion of
176   3,  12 |         believe, for example, that when our Lord's feet were anointed
177   3,  12 |           is often a sin, becomes, when ascribed to God or a prophet,
178   3,  12 |          for example, is one thing when it is the result of abandoned
179   3,  12 |   abandoned manners, another thing when done in the course of his

190   3,  20 |     honoured by men, nor cast down when they were despised. And

192   3,  21 |          after he was subdued; and when he was baffled in this design,
193   3,  21 |      appears chiefly in this, that when this same king, carried
194   3,  21 |           crime by a prophet, who, when he had come to show him
195   3,  21 |            though he had many, yet when a guest came to him spared

197   3,  21 |        possessed a number of wives when he was forced to punish
198   3,  23 |                                And when he reads of the sins of

209   3,  29 |            we desire to convey; as when we say to a man who is behaving
210   3,  29 |            a law of contraries, as when we ask in a place for what
