 1  1|          the light of wisdom and truth, he did not cast off his
 2  4|       ARGUE WITH OCTAVIUS ON THE TRUTH OF HIS RELIGION. OCTAVIUS
 3  5|         thoroughly investigating truth, should rashly succumb to
 4  5|         Thus either an uncertain truth is hidden from us, and kept
 5  6|           as the high priests of truth, to receive the teaching
 6  9|   prefaced by an apology, unless truth were at the bottom of it.
 7 13|      continued, the obscurer the truth became to him. In my opinion
 8 14|      reasoning is striving after truth, not praise. And in however
 9 14|       most part the condition of truth should be changed according
10 14|          separate falsehood from truth; unaware that even in that
11 14|         incredible them is often truth, and in verisimilitude falsehood.
12 14|         and on the one hand, the truth is for the most part obscure;
13 16|          HIM WHO ARGUES, BUT THE TRUTH OF THE ARGUMENT ITSELF,
14 16|          no stedfast judgment of truth, even as his unbelieving
15 16|     confirming and approving the truth alone; and for the future
16 16| authority of the arguer, but the truth of the argument itself:
17 22|        NO LITTLE MISCHIEF TO THE TRUTH BY THEIR AUTHORITY. BY FICTIONS
18 22|           ON THE OTHER HAND, THE TRUTH IS OBVIOUS TO THEM IF THEY
19 22|       same beliefs, although the truth is plain, if they will only
20 26|         oracles have touched the truth. Although among many falsehoods
21 27|      both ignorant of the simple truth, and for their own ruin
22 27|       them when they confess the truth of themselves; for when
23 28|          them, not to elicit the truth, but to compel a falsehood.
24 28|          is wasted away when the truth is brought to light. Thus
25 29|         the neighbourhood of the truth, in thinking either that
26 31|        before inquiring into the truth it might turn men away from
27 34|          shadow of the corrupted truth. Thus also the most illustrious
28 34|       way of misrepresenting the truth, that the souls of men return
29 38|          why do we grudge if the truth of divinity has ripened
30 39|       and had moreover shown the truth not only as easy, but also
31 40|       mind, not as resisting the truth, but as necessary to a perfect
