2318 6 | therefore I must be right in regarding that as bodily substance
2319 37| classification of the rules of our regenerate life. But inasmuch as birth
2320 51| impossible that they should regulate nature. Death, if it once
2321 37| in the womb is no doubt regulated by some power, which ministers
2322 34| wretched man. He actually reigned himself to be the Supreme
2323 34| assumed a visible shape; and reigning the appearance of a man
2324 35| asserted that souls are reinvested with bodies, in order to
2325 32| butterflies, and chameleons rejoice in droughts. So, again,
2326 43| it plays, it grieves, it rejoices, it follows pursuits lawful
2327 58| solitary and alone, of rejoicing and glorifying over the
2328 30| torch extinguished than rekindled. Inasmuch, then, as the
2329 47| possibility of being intelligibly related, will have to be ascribed
2330 46| remarkable instances. Herodotus relates how that Astyages, king
2331 51| nerves themselves being relaxed and extended, and to be
2332 48| in spring, since summer relaxes, and winter somehow hardens,
2333 53| flesh, it is by the very release cleansed and purified: it
2334 3 | and not out of matter. We relied even there on the clear
2335 9 | of prayers, m all these religious services matter and opportunity
2336 31| precise life which it had relinquished. But even if, at this rate,
2337 23| provided for its return, on its relinquishment of life, to its original
2338 17| things have produced the very relish and savour of human existence;
2339 28| such an opinion as this, rely on a falsehood, which was
2340 30| the same, must always have remained in number the same. For
