2513 XVII | comes to itself, as out of a surfeit, or a sleep, or a sickness,
2514 XLVIII | it will be still easier surley to make you what you were
2515 XXIV | whom, too, Juno got her surname. In, fact, we alone are
2516 XVIII | are open to all. Ptolemy, surnamed Philadelphus, the most learned
2517 XXXVII | within its own boundaries, surpasses, forsooth, in numbers, one
2518 XXXIII | he shines with a glory so surpassing as to require an admonitory
2519 VII | betrayed; we are oftentimes surprised in our meetings and congregations.
2520 II | perversity of yours lead you to suspect that there is some hidden
2521 IX | The Macedonians, too, are suspected on this point; for on first
2522 IX | public gaze the priests suspended on the sacred trees overshadowing
2523 VII | of opposition, or from a suspicious judgment, or from a confirmed,

2526 XXIII | set forth; its own worth sustains it; no ground remains for
2527 XV | sighs after the scornful swain, and you do not blush; you
2528 XX | previously heard by the ear. The swallowing up of cities by the earth;
2529 XXI | yourselves, who exercise sway over the nations, it was
2530 XXV | Corybantian cymbals, and the sweet odour of her who nursed
2531 IX | have tried it, and found it sweeter to the taste! Nay, in fact,
2532 III | you hate), it comes from sweetness and benignity. You hate,
2533 XLVIII | or swallowed you up, or swept you away, or reduced you
2534 XXII | know as to report. Their swiftness of motion is taken for divinity,
2535 XLIX | adjudged to ridicule, not to swords, and flames, and crosses,
2536 XXXV | safety of the emperor, and swore by his genius, one thing
2537 XLVI | does Aristotle play the sycophant to Alexander, instead of
2538 XI | Pompey, more prosperous than Sylla, of greater wealth than
2539 XIII | page a god of the sacred synod, although your ancient deities
2540 III | from the founders of their systems--Platonists, Epicureans,
2541 XXIII | influence, too, goats and tables are made to divine,--how
2542 II | do you read out of your tablet-lists that such a man is a Christian?
2543 XVI | Tacitus (the very opposite of tacit in telling lies) informs
2544 XLVII | plea in bar against these tainters of our purity, asserting
2545 XXXIX | have to worship God; they talk as those who know that the
2546 XLVI | object is life? between the talker and he doer? between the
2547 XXV | emperor already dead. O tardy messengers! O sleepy despatches!
2548 XI | down into lowest depths of Tartarus,--the place which you regard,

2552 XL | willing ignorance of the Teacher of righteousness, the Judge
2553 L | disciples as Christians do, teachers not by words, but by their
2554 XIX | so arduous as it would be tedious. It would require the anxious
2555 XII | blasphemous reproaches! Gnash your teeth upon us--foam with maddened
2556 XI | boy-polluters,and men of furious tempers, and murderers, and thieves,
2557 IX | trees overshadowing their temple--so many crosses on which
2558 XL | Capitol; you look up to the temple-ceilings for the longed-for clouds--
2559 XV | often in the houses of the temple-keepers and priests, under the sacrificial
2560 XLVIII | the world, flows down by a temporal course to a close; but the

2572 XXXVII | great, inhabiting a distinct territory, and confined within its
2573 XXI | and the guard fled off in terror: without a single disciple
2574 IX | in fact, there is here a test you should apply to discover
2575 XLVI | men. Thoughtless Apollo! testifying to the wisdom of the man
2576 XXIII | accordingly, for those testimonies of your deities to convert
2577 XLVI | certain information did Thales, the first of natural philosophers,
2578 XXXI | ours to escape persecution. Thank you for your mistake, for
2579 XLIII | perhaps you have no belief in that--but from whom you can have
2580 XLVII | certain states--I mean by the Thebans, by the Spartans also, and
2581 | thee
2582 XX | cities by the earth; the theft of islands by the sea; wars,
2583 XVIII | things were with us, too, the theme of ridicule. We are of your
2584 XV | punishments, as they act their themes and stories, doing their
2585 XI | Aristides for his justice, Themistocles for his warlike genius,
2586 XVI | origin of the nation; and theorizing at his pleasure about the
2587 | thereupon
2588 XIX | prophet, in whom you have the thesaurus of the entire Jewish religion,
2589 XI | tempers, and murderers, and thieves, and deceivers; all, in
2590 IX | blood drawn from a punctured thigh and then partaken of, seals
2591 XIV | almost wasted away by a thirteen months' imprisonment; that
2592 XXX | got the breath of life. Thither we lift our eyes, with hands
2593 IX | exclaiming, hlaune eis thn mhtera. Even now reflect
2594 XLVI | Socrates the wisest of men. Thoughtless Apollo! testifying to the
2595 XL | and heaven not in all your thoughts. We, dried up with fastings,
2596 XL | Rhodes, and Cos, with many thousands of human beings, having
2597 XLVII | realms below. And if we threaten Gehenna, which is a reservoir
2598 XLV | and the greatness of the threatened torment, not merely long-enduring
2599 XXIII | the woes with which God threatens them at the hands of Christ
2600 XXIII | from another who cuts his throat. The result of the frenzy
2601 XLII | falling off: how few now throw in a contribution! In truth,
2602 I | to defend as good. Nature throws a veil either of fear or
2603 XLVI | trial, Aristotle basely thrust his friend Hermias from
2604 XLVIII | judgments, whether striking as thunderbolts from heaven, or bursting
2605 XI | gleamed, and light shone, and thunders roared, and Jove himself
2606 XLVI | there are Pythagoras at Thurii, and Zeno at Priene, ambitious
2607 XXI | indeed than the reign of Tiberius--a question may perhaps be
2608 VIII | and lamps, and dogs--with tid-bits to draw them on to the extinguishing
2609 XXXV | audacious than all your Tigerii and Parthenii. If I mistake
2610 XL | and our passions bound tightly up, holding back as long
2611 XLVIII | economy, equally a thing of time--passes away, then the whole

2614 XXXVI | emperors do not consist in such tokens of homage as these, which

2617 L | and cut out epitaphs on tombs, that their names may never

2620 XXXVII | evil, a single night with a torch or two could achieve an
2621 XLV | greatness of the threatened torment, not merely long-enduring
2622 II | Among tyrants, indeed, torments used to be inflicted even
2623 XXI | before all men we say, and torn and bleeding under your
2624 VI | immodest pleasure might not be torpid in the wintertime, the Lacedaemonians
2625 XXII | that they were cooking a tortoise with the flesh of a lamb;
2626 XXXVII | cities, islands, fortresses, towns, market-places, the very
2627 II | through all the provinces for tracking robbers. Against traitors
2628 VI | ought not. Yet the very tradition of your fathers, which you
2629 XLII | we unite with you in your traffickings--even in the various arts
2630 XV | wretch, when one impure and trained up for the art in all effeminacy,
2631 XXI | discipline, the Enlightener and Trainer of the human race, God's
2632 XIV | from which you get your training in wisdom and the nobler
2633 XXXV | on the very eve of their traitorous outbreak, offered sacrifices
2634 XLVI | with filth-covered feet trampling on the proud couches of
2635 XXI | object of his worship, and transferring his worship and homage to
2636 XXIV | favour with the Caesar, transfers his endeavours and his hopes
2637 XII | reckless art, which in the transforming process treats them with
2638 XXI | that the acceptance of it transforms a man, and makes him truly
2639 IX | thus try to get them to transgress they hold unlawful. And
2640 XLI | laid to the door of your transgressions. Nay, though we are likewise

2642 XXI | lover, for his vile ends transmuting himself into the gold of

2645 XXXV | approvers of these crimes and treasons, the still remnant gleanings
2646 XXV | upon sacred and on common treasure. Thus the sacrileges of
2647 XXXIX | God. Though we have our treasure-chest, it is not made up of purchase-money,
2648 XLVII | it in that they are the treasure-source whence all later wisdom
2649 XVIII | have still in the literary treasures they have left, and which
2650 X | presides over the public treasury. But if Saturn were a man,

2652 XXVI | gifts, and its people with treaties; and which would never have
2653 XII | the transforming process treats them with utter contempt,
2654 IX | both parties, has been the treaty bond among some nations.

2661 XV | whether in the jokes and tricks it is the buffoons or the
2662 L | it is for us a sort of triumphal, car. Naturally enough,
2663 XXV | trophies. They boast as many triumphs over the gods as over the
2664 XXV | of Rome as sprung of the Trojan stock saved from the arms
2665 XIV | things I find!--that for Trojans and Greeks the gods fought
2666 XXI | Athens, Melampus at Argos, Trophonius in Boeotia, imposed religious
2667 XVI | cross is the heart of the trophy. The camp religion of the

2669 XXIII | will as readily make the truthful confession that he is a
2670 IX | thing by which you thus try to get them to transgress
2671 XI | Crassus, more eloquent than Tullius? How much better it would
2672 XXV | altars were offhand ones of turf, and the sacred vessels
2673 XXVII | favour God has shown us, turns your minds against us by
2674 XXV | skill of the Greeks and Tuscans in image-making had not
2675 XL | they turn to ashes. Nor had Tuscia and Campania to complain
2676 L | death, as Cicero in the Tusculans, as Seneca in his Chances,
2677 XLVIII | and with skill of speech twists every argument to prove
2678 II | servants is a civil, not a tyrannical domination. Among tyrants,
2679 IV | wicked law, if, unproved, it tyrannizes over men.~
2680 IV | unjust domination of mere tyranny, if you deny the thing to
2681 II | tyrannical domination. Among tyrants, indeed, torments used to
2682 XIX | Hieromus the Phoenician king of Tyre; their successors too, Ptolemy
2683 XXXIII | thee; remember thou art but u a man." And it only adds
2684 XVI | consecrate crosses unclothed and unadorned. Others, again, certainly
2685 XXXIV | will you not give great and unappeasable offence to him who actually
2686 VIII | imposed on. They were quite unaware of anything of the kind
2687 XLVI | hold is made clear to all, unbelief meanwhile, at the very time
2688 XVI | Pharian Ceres as she is put up uncarved to sale, a mere rough stake
2689 XLVII | found certain they made uncertain by their admixtures. Finding
2690 VII | the very designation of uncertainty, has no place when a thing
2691 XLVIII | soul, with its qualities unchanged, may be restored to the
2692 XLVIII | that we are now, and still unchanged--the servants of God, ever
2693 III | unlucky, or scurrilous, or unchaste? But Christian, so far as
2694 VII | Whoever found any traces of uncleanness in their wives? Where is
2695 XVI | would not consecrate crosses unclothed and unadorned. Others, again,
2696 XXX | free from sin; with head uncovered, for we have nothing whereof
2697 II | the law to condemn anybody undefended and unheard. Christians
2698 XII | common use among is, or even undergoing in their consecration a
2699 XLVIII | nature so exalted, if thou understandest thyself, taught even by
2700 XXI | are deprived of wisdom and understanding--of the use of eyes and ears.
2701 XXI | nature of His birth will be understood. We have already asserted
2702 XLVI | themselves. Who will venture to undertake our refutation; not with
2703 XIII | ladle of the manes? or the undertaker from the soothsayer, as
2704 IX | bears, loaded with as yet undigested human viscera, are in great
2705 XXI | unwilling heart, as having faith undoubting in the truth, at last by
2706 XL | s hand. First of all, as undutiful to Him, because when it
2707 XXXVII | fit, not eager, even with unequal forces, we who so willingly
2708 I | For what is there more unfair than to hate a thing of
2709 IX | and all post-matrimonial unfaithfulness, we are not exposed to incestuous
2710 XXII | essences; nor is their name unfamiliar. The philosophers acknowledge
2711 XXVII | sacrifice at once, and go away unharmed, holding as ever our convictions
2712 IV | you to exist," and with unhesitating rigour you enjoin this to
2713 XXI | matrix remains entire and unimpaired, though you derive from
2714 XLII | you; and in like manner we unite with you in your traffickings--
2715 XLVIII | of opposite substances in unity--of void and solid, of animate
2716 XL | all objects of adoration, universally acknowledged, when the Senones
2717 XLI | homage is paid; or most unjustly they act, if, on account
2718 XXXIX | men, because brothers so unkind. At the same time, how much
2719 XVIII | the king left these works unlocked to all, in the Greek language.
2720 X | everywhere a sudden and unlooked-for guest, got everywhere the
2721 III | sounds either barbarous, or unlucky, or scurrilous, or unchaste?
2722 XLVIII | things, its very self the unmistakable type of the resurrection,
2723 IV | positively wicked law, if, unproved, it tyrannizes over men.~
2724 L | contempt of death, was all unquailing, given over to the tyrant'
2725 XVI | by any rumor against us unrefuted. Having thoroughly cleared
2726 XXVII | perversity in judgment, and that unrighteous cruelty, which we have mentioned
2727 I | they hate us, and hate us unrighteously while they continue in ignorance,
2728 XXXV | public disgrace? Do things unseemly at other times beseem the
2729 XXII | when some inexplicable, unseen poison in the breeze blights
2730 VI | enough, nor are theatres unsheltered: no doubt it was that immodest
2731 XXX | from the chaste body, an unstained soul, a sanctified spirit,
2732 XXIII | behalf. It has not been an unusual thing, accordingly, for
2733 XXI | all the majesty of Deity unveiled; and, by misunderstanding
2734 VII | such as are sure, in their unveiling, to call forth punishment
2735 IX | limited scale, may easily and unwittingly anywhere beget children,
2736 XXII | processes going on in these upper regions, and thus can give
2737 X | male and female, rural and urban, naval and military? It
2738 XXVII | punishment delays, to have the usufruct of their malignant dispositions.
2739 VI | rashly or with impunity usurped? For I see the Centenarian
2740 XII | akin to the vessels and utensils in common use among is,
2741 XXI | has inbeing to give forth utterances, and reason abides to dispose
2742 XX | day fulfilled. They are uttered by the same voices, they

2744 XXXIX | mischief-doers, nor bands of vagabonds, nor to break out into licentious
2745 XXIV | Asculum, Nortia of Volsinii, Valentia of Ocriculum, Hostia of
2746 XXXIII | to his office? So that on valid grounds I might say Caesar
2747 XXXIX | if any complaint can be validly laid against it, such as
2748 L | therefore, we do not please the vanquished; on account of this, indeed,
2749 XLVII | becoming acquainted with the variety of parties among us, this
2750 XIV | Hercules and the Roman cynic Varro brings forward three hundred
2751 XIX | difficulty of the subject, as its vastness, that stands in the way
2752 XLVII | still at the time under veil--even obscure to the Jews
2753 IX | blood because it is from the veins of a wicked man? At any
2754 XXIII | delivered of it by retching, who vent it forth in agonies of gasping.

2757 XXXV | vintage of traitors, with what verdant and branching laurels they
2758 XVI | information and greater verisimilitude, believe that the sun is
2759 XXXV | seven hills: does that Roman vernacular of theirs ever spare a Caesar?
2760 V | Jews, nor a Pius, nor a Verus, ever enforced? It should
2761 V | things strange and new, nor a Vespasian, though the subjugator of
2762 XXVI | and the Amazons before the Vestal Virgins. And to add another
2763 VI | VI.~I would now have these
2764 XI | prove free from crime or vice, save by denying that they
2765 L | struggle is gained. This victory of ours gives us the glory
2766 L | which we conquer, it is our victory-robe, it is for us a sort of
2767 XII | rasps are put to work more vigorously on every member of the body.
2768 VII | VII.~Monsters of wickedness,
2769 VIII | VIII.~See now, we set before
2770 IX | blood of a man? Or is it viler blood because it is from
2771 XI | the heavens. Deify your vilest criminals, if you would
2772 XV | minister to your pleasures by vilifying the gods. Examine those
2773 XLVII | impair its credibility, or vindicate their own higher claims
2774 I | whence is its justice to be vindicated? for that is to be proved,
2775 XIX | Jew Josephus, the native vindicator of the ancient history of
2776 VI | religious protectors and vindicators of the laws and institutions
2777 XI | being the discoverer of the vine, Bacchus is raised to godship,
2778 XXXV | remnant gleanings after a vintage of traitors, with what verdant
2779 XXI | incest with a sister, or by violation of a daughter or another'
2780 XXII | grievous calamities, while by violent assaults they hurry the
2781 XXIV | Delventinus of Casinum, Visidianus of Narnia, Ancharia of Asculum,
2782 XL | with which the people are visited. If the Tiber rises as high
2783 XXVIII | power whose presence you vividly realize; so that also in
2784 XX | are uttered by the same voices, they are written in the
2785 XLVIII | substances in unity--of void and solid, of animate and
2786 XXIV | Ancharia of Asculum, Nortia of Volsinii, Valentia of Ocriculum,
2787 XXVIII | gods, when he ought ever voluntarily, and in the sense of his
2788 XV | It is certainly among the votaries of your religion that the
2789 XL | from heaven overwhelmed Vulsinii, and Pompeii was destroyed
2790 XXV | This, forsooth, is the wages the gods have paid the Romans
2791 XXIII | making all but Christians wail--as the Power of God, and
2792 VII | happened withal upon an infant wailing, according to the common
2793 XI | the God Supreme to have waited that He might have taken
2794 XXI | stilling the storms and walking on the sea; proving that
2795 XXI | Scattered abroad, a race of wanderers, exiles from their own land
2796 XVIII | their books might not be wanting, this also the Jews supplied
2797 III | What a woman she was! how wanton! how gay! What a youth he
2798 XXI | withal, in giving previous warning of these things, all with
2799 XIV | Diomede; that Mars was almost wasted away by a thirteen months'
2800 XXIX | safety, I think, to the watch kept by Caesar's guards.
2801 XXI | the Jews in their eager watchfulness surrounded it with a large
2802 XLVII | accordingly, the philosophers watered their arid minds, so that
2803 XL | sea; and the force of the waves cut off a part of Lucania,
2804 XLII | have them free and loose, waving all about. Even if they
2805 XLIV | the loss is to the common weal,--a loss as great as it
2806 L | Athenian courtezan, having wearied out the executioner, at
2807 XLII | you, eating the same food wearing the same attire, having
2808 XXV | of hers was offering, a week after, impure libations
2809 XLII | nor workshop, nor inn, nor weekly market, nor any other places

2812 VI | they have not put aside whatsoever is most useful and necessary
2813 | whenever
2814 XL | inhabitants suffering by them. But where--I do not say were Christians,
2815 | whereas
2816 XI | awarded divine honours. Wherefore, if the universe existed
2817 XXX | uncovered, for we have nothing whereof to be ashamed; finally,
2818 XXVIII | me with angry looks, with whichever of his faces he likes; what
2819 VI | to freedmen or even mere whip-spoilers). I see, too, that neither

2834 XV | with his hot iron; we have witnessed Jove's brother, mallet in
2835 XXIII | recalling to their memory the woes with which God threatens
2836 XXXII | things threatening dreadful woes---is only retarded by the
