 12   1,   1 |            multiplied by His grace, so that, in this very work
 13   1,   1 |            in which I have engaged, so far from incurring loss
 14   1,   2 |             is not also a sign. And so, in regard to this distinction
 15   1,   3 |         objects of use assist, and (so to speak) support us in
 16   1,   3 |            efforts after happiness, so that we can attain the things
 17   1,   3 |    sometimes even led away from it; so that, getting entangled
 18   1,   4 |             used, not enjoyed, that so the invisible things of
 19   1,   5 |          that will suitably express so great excellence, unless
 20   1,   6 |           not have been spoken. And so God is not even to be called "
 21   1,   7 |       exists a superior is God. And so all concur in believing
 22   1,   8 |        unwise, and never can become so. And if men never caught
 23   1,   9 |                      Now, no one is so egregiously silly as to
 24   1,   9 |             splendour of its light, so clear and so near, is poured
 25   1,   9 |             its light, so clear and so near, is poured into his
 26   1,  13 |           own nature by the change: so the Divine Word, though
 27   1,  14 |      remedies is the way to health, so this remedy took up sinners
 28   1,  14 |             to its mere usefulness, so our medicine, Wisdom, was

 30   1,  14 |             We used our immortality so badly as to incur the penalty
 31   1,  14 |           Christ used His mortality so well as to restore us to
 32   1,  15 |           great He was who suffered so great things for them while
 33   1,  15 |           terror into the careless, so that they retake themselves
 34   1,  15 |             journey He has given us so freely of His Spirit, that
 35   1,  19 |           comes through repentance, so also the death of the body
 36   1,  19 |             after a better pattern, so we must hope and believe
 37   1,  21 |                                 And so faith clings to the assurance,
 38   1,  21 |             must believe that it is so in fact, that neither the
 39   1,  22 |        honour above the beasts. And so it becomes an important
 40   1,  22 |    enjoyment. For a man is never in so good a state as when his
 41   1,  22 |           mind in upon himself, and so is not occupied with anything
 42   1,  22 |             and with all thy mind:" so that you are to concentrate
 43   1,  23 |             man or an angel, or are so related to us as to need
 44   1,  23 |           Ruler of all things, does so that it may rule over itself
 45   1,  23 |          and over its own body; and so it cannot but love both
 46   1,  24 |      heaviness, that they hate. And so it is not no body, but an
 47   1,  24 |             changed for the better, so that its inordinate affections
 48   1,  24 |             supposing they could do so without suffering any pain,
 49   1,  25 |         measure he may love himself so as to be of service to himself.
 50   1,  25 |           measure to love his body, so as to care for it wisely
 51   1,  25 |             argue longer on a point so very plain, but this is
 52   1,  27 |          also under strict control, so that he neither loves what
 53   1,  28 |          not be given to both. Just so among men: since you cannot
 54   1,  29 |          remove it. Now, if this be so, what does it become us
 55   1,  29 |           as partakers with them in so great a blessing. ~
 56   1,  30 |                                 And so also the Apostle Paul teaches
 57   1,  30 |            angels also, seeing that so great offices of mercy have
 58   1,  32 |          when we use objects, we do so with a view to the full
 59   1,  32 |            He is good we exist; and so far as we truly exist we
 60   1,  32 |          with impunity be evil; and so far as we are evil, so far
 61   1,  32 |          and so far as we are evil, so far is our existence less
 62   1,  32 |           AM has sent me unto you;" So that all other things that
 63   1,  32 |           to Him, and are good only so far as He has given it to
 64   1,  32 |          has given it to them to be so. That use, then, which God
 65   1,  32 |              but to ours only; and, so far as He is concerned,
 66   1,  32 |             for his advantage we do so; but somehow or other our
 67   1,  34 |            and as it were seals us, so that we are able to rest
 68   1,  34 |          not even our Lord Himself, so far as He has condescended
 69   1,  37 |         cannot be the true one: and so it comes to pass, one can
 70   1,  37 |             object of his love. And so these are the three things
 71   1,  38 |          than really belongs to it, so as to think it comparatively
 72   1,  39 |     strength of these three graces. So that in their case, I think,
 73   1,  39 |             as they may be called), so great an edifice of faith
 74   1,  39 |          perfect of course, I mean, so far as is possible in this
 75   1,  40 |            others or by myself. And so let this be the end of the
 76   2, arg |            and arts of the heathen, so far as they are true and
 77   2,   1 |            signs of something else, so now, when I come in its
 78   2,   1 |         making it a sign that it is so, but through attention to
 79   2,   2 |         discuss this class of signs so far as men are concerned
 80   2,   3 |        signs to the initiated, and, so to speak, address their

 83   2,   6 |           and care for our welfare, so arranged the Holy Scriptures
 84   2,   7 |         overwhelmed in despair, and so he gradually comes to the
 85   2,   7 |           itself which can see God, so far as God can be seen by
 86   2,   7 |         world. For men see Him just so far as they die to this
 87   2,   7 |         they die to this world; and so far as they live to it they

 95   2,   9 |      obscure passages, and in doing so draw examples from the plainer
 96   2,  11 |             knowledge, were it ever so little, of the two languages,
 97   2,  12 |         taken in its literal sense, so that a man may understand
 98   2,  12 |          for interpreters to differ so widely as not to touch at
 99   2,  12 |           both sharp and swift. And so he saw the true meaning

111   2,  16 |             A candid mind, if I may so speak, cannot but be anxious,

127   2,  24 |           came to have meaning. And so they are made different
128   2,  24 |           to its signification; and so, any one who knows both

136   2,  30 |          that kind; or those which, so to speak, assist God in
137   2,  31 |             that are false, and yet so close an imitation of the

139   2,  32 |          only points out that it is so. And it is upon this rule
140   2,  33 |             the opinions are false, so the inferences may be unsound
141   2,  33 |           antecedent is also false, so when the antecedent is proved

168   3,   8 |         useful signs, and who were (so to speak) near to it, and,
169   3,   8 |             these signs themselves, so that the gentiles were turned

175   3,  11 |       crucified." But these are not so numerous, nor placed in
176   3,  12 |           the other hand, uses them so as to transgress the bounds
177   3,  12 |           Christ, anoints His feet (so to speak) with the most
178   3,  12 |         most precious ointment. And so that which in the case of
179   3,  12 |         tunics of that description: so we must take heed in regard
180   3,  14 |        should do to you, do ye even so to them," I cannot be altered
181   3,  16 |            in what follows, "for in so doing thou shalt heap coals

189   3,  23 |             sees in the case of men so eminent both the storms

192   3,  27 |     doctrine, he is free from blame so long as he is supported
193   3,  28 |            light of Holy Scripture; so that when we wish to examine

195   3,  30 |          methods required which are so far from being embraced
196   3,  30 |             these rules, attributes so much value to them that
197   3,  30 |        occur to me, I consider none so necessary as to write a
198   3,  30 |        obscure shall be elucidated, so that a man travelling through

200   3,  34 |        about species and genus. For so he calls it, intending that
201   3,  34 |          come to be commonly known, so that even uneducated people
202   3,  34 |             be unable to dwell. And so it is truly said to the
203   3,  35 |          transfigured on the mount, so that His face shone as the

206   3,  36 |            watchful and intelligent so as to understand the recapitulation,
207   3,  37 |         head and which to the body; so this last rule shows us
208   3,  37 |           devil, whose truth is not so evident in regard to himself
209   3,  37 |         just as they are expressed, so in the case of figurative
210   3,  37 |             piety. But about signs, so far as relates to words,
211   3,  37 |              in the following book, so far as God has given me
212   4, arg |            the truth to the hearer, so that he may understand it,
213   4,   1 |            compass of one book, and so finish the whole work in
214   4,   2 |            introduce their subject, so as to put the hearer into

308   4,  26 |           cannot give pleasure. And so the three qualities, perspicuity,
