  2  5|         digested, fashioned--what God is the contriver? Although
  3  7|         prophets, filled with the god, and mingled with him, collect
  4 10|        ACKNOWLEDGED IMAGES. THEIR GOD, LIKE THAT OF THE JEWS,
  5 10|           he, or where is the one God, solitary, desolate, whom
  6 10|           the Jews worshipped one God, and one peculiar to itself;
  7 10|      feign!--that he who is their God, whom they can neither show
  8 11|          fate, so you refer it to God: thus it is according to
  9 11|    believing undoubtingly on your God.~
 10 12|         hard work and hunger; and God suffers it, He feigns; He
 11 12|           and fear. Where is that God who is able to help you
 12 12|        without any help from your God, govern, reign, have the
 13 17|       ENTIRE SCOPE OF THINGS, AND GOD HIMSELF. AND FROM THE CONSTITUTION

 19 18|          BY THE DECREE OF THE ONE GOD ALL THINGS ARE GOVERNED,
 20 18|     begetting? Is it not given by God, and that the breasts should
 21 18|      milky moisture? Neither does God have care alone for the
 22 18|          when it is manifest that God, the Parent of all, has
 23 18|         he knows the magnitude of God, is diminishing it; he who
 24 18|           must you ask a name for God. God is His name. We have
 25 18|           you ask a name for God. God is His name. We have need
 26 18|      characteristics of names; to God, who is alone, the name
 27 18|            who is alone, the name God is the whole. If I were
 28 18|           say nothing else but Oh God, and God is great, and God
 29 18|      nothing else but Oh God, and God is great, and God is true,
 30 18|        God, and God is great, and God is true, and if God shall
 31 18|           and God is true, and if God shall permit. Is this the
 32 19|     CHRISTIANS ABOUT THE UNITY OF GOD.~ "I hear the poets also
 33 19|        calls that mind and spirit God. For these are his words: '
 34 19|          are his words: 'For that God pervades all the lands,
 35 19|          fire.' What else also is God announced to be by us, but
 36 19|     beginning of things, but that God was that mind which from
 37 19|           was delivered to him by God. You see that the opinion
 38 19|       infinite and unmeasured, is God. The agreement of these
 39 19|          Anaxagoras also is, that God is said to be the motion
 40 19|         an infinite mind; and the God of Pythagoras is the soul
 41 19|         Xenophanes delivered that God was all infinity with a
 42 19|          the people, but that one God of Nature was the chief
 43 19|         Xeuxippus acknowledged as God a natural animal force whereby
 44 19|       forms, and intelligence, as God? Strato also himself says
 45 19|     Strato also himself says that God is nature. Moreover, Epicurus,
 46 19|          at another the World, is God; at another time he sets
 47 19|           at another time he sets God above the world. Heraclides
 48 19|    various ways, a divine mind to God. Theophrastus, and Zeno,
 49 19|           Cleanthes discoursed of God as of a mind, now of a soul,
 50 19|          the law of nature and of God, and sometimes the air,
 51 19|         and a fatal necessity, is God; and he follows the example
 52 19|         that the form of the true God cannot be seen, and therefore
 53 19|        sensible of the majesty of God, while they despaired of
 54 19|           clearer discourse about God, both in the matters themselves
 55 19|  Therefore in his Timoeus Plato's God is by His very name the

 64 23|        Proculus, Romulus became a god; and by the good-will of
 65 23|           Mauritanians, Juba is a god; and other kings are divine
 66 23|         from dead people, since a god cannot die; nor of people
 67 23|           the artificer to make a god. For a god of wood, a portion
 68 23|    artificer to make a god. For a god of wood, a portion perhaps
 69 23|         is hewn, is planed; and a god of brass or of silver, often
 70 23|         forged on anvils; and the god of stone is cut, is sculptured,
 71 23|           the silver is not yet a god. When, therefore, does the
 72 23|         When, therefore, does the god begin his existence? Lo,
 73 23|       sculptured--it is not yet a god; lo, it is soldered, it
 74 23|          and even yet it is not a god; lo, it is adorned, it is
 75 23|        to--then at length it is a god, when man has chosen it
 76 24|         in the very mouth of your god. Spiders, indeed, weave

 79 24|         how greatly does he wrong God in seeking to propitiate
 80 24|         in this manner! since, if God wished for eunuchs, He could

 85 26|       ministers and messengers of God, even the true God. And
 86 26|  messengers of God, even the true God. And he knew that it enhanced
 87 26|          a hard thing to find out God? Does not he also, without
 88 27|  RESPONSES. THESE THINGS NOT FROM GOD; BUT THEY ARE CONSTRAINED
 89 27|           IN THE NAME OF THE TRUE GOD, AND ARE DRIVEN FROM THE

 91 27|      abjured by the only and true God, unwillingly the wretched
 92 29|           WITH REASON THAT HE WAS GOD. BUT, ON THE OTHER HAND,
 93 29|          was able, to be believed God. Miserable indeed is that
 94 29|         and he who to others is a god, to himself is certainly
 95 29|      cross; and when a man adores God with a pure mind, with handsoutstretched.

101 32|        justice makes offerings to God; he who abstains from fraudulent
102 32|  fraudulent practices propitiates God; he who snatches man from
103 32|            these are our rites of God's worship; thus, among us,
104 32|      religious. But certainly the God whom we worship we neither
105 32|       reason we believe Him to be God, that we can be conscious
106 32|          wonder if you do not see God. By the wind and by the
107 32|  thunderbolts? Do you wish to see God with your carnal eyes, when
108 32|         moreover, it is said that God is ignorant of man's doings;
109 32|       deceived; for from where is God afar off, when all things
110 32|        the universe, are known to God, are full of God? Everywhere
111 32|         known to God, are full of God? Everywhere He is not only
112 32|           violated. How much more God, who has made all things,

115 33|         many to ourselves, but to God we are very few. We distinguish
116 33|           peoples and nations; to God this whole world is one
117 33|  ministrations of their servants: God has no need of information.

121 33|          taken captive with their God, but they were given up
122 33|         but they were given up by God as deserters from His discipline.~ ~
123 34|            YET IT IS EVIDENT THAT GOD, HAVING MADE MAN FROM NOTHING,
124 34| indissoluble, yet he adds that to God Himself, the only artificer,
125 34|         first of all be formed by God, so can again be re-formed;
126 34|       feeble eyes, it perishes to God? Every body, whether it

130 35|         And although ignorance of God is sufficient for punishment,
131 36|          EXCEPT SO FAR AS FATE IS GOD. MAN'S MIND IS FREE, AND
132 36|       what else is fate than what God has spoken of each one of
133 36|     others, if he is rich towards God ? He rather is poor, who,
134 36|           us, we should ask it of God. Assuredly He might be able

136 37|          ARE SPECTACLES WORTHY OF GOD. A COMPARISON INSTITUTED
137 37|     beautiful is the spectacle to God when a Christian does battle
138 37|        and princes, and yields to God alone, whose he is; when,
139 37|         the warfare glorious. But God's solidier is neither forsaken
140 37|    punishment, or is able without God to bear tortures? Unless,
141 37|           that those who know not God abound in riches, flourish
142 37|       apart from the knowledge of God, what solid happiness can

144 38|         with eternal flowers from God, since we, being both ate
