And if it is admitted 64 III, 12 | THE TWO FOLD CONFLICT OF BODY AND SOUL; AND OF DESIRING 65 III, 12 | man is made up, soul and body. There are many things peculiar 66 III, 12 | soul, many peculiar to the body, many common to both, as 67 III, 12 | this is referred to the body, it is called fortitude 68 III, 12 | each from the contest: the body, because it is solid, and 69 III, 12 | is, from fortitude of the body; for when this has come 70 III, 12 | safety. Therefore, as the body obtains by victory its preservation 71 III, 12 | its existence; and as the body, when over come by its enemies, 72 III, 12 | and that carried on by the body, except that the body seeks 73 III, 12 | the body, except that the body seeks for temporal, but 74 III, 12 | subjected to evils through the body.

Therefore, although 78 III, 12 | the chief good, not to the body, but to the soul, yet, inasmuch 79 III, 12 | has its ending with the body, they have gone back to 80 III, 12 | they have gone back to the body, to which the whole of this 81 III, 12 | for whatever looks to the body only, and is without immortality, 82 III, 12 | happy, when he lives in the body, which must undoubtedly 83 III, 12 | from intercourse with the body, he lives in the spirit 84 III, 13 | are the nourishment of the body, so wisdom is of the soul.~ 85 III, 14 | who is formed of mortal body. For if we must speak, as 86 III, 17 | receive the weapon in the body, to be burnt with fire, 87 III, 17 | that which is born with the body must perish with the body. 88 III, 17 | body must perish with the body. I have already stated that 89 III, 18 | necessarily die with the body, because it is born with 90 III, 18 | because it is born with the body, they asserted that the 91 III, 18 | soul is not born with the body, but rather introduced into 92 III, 18 | that it migrates from one body to another. They did not 93 III, 18 | the soul to survive the body, unless it should appear 94 III, 18 | existed previously to the body. There is therefore an equal 95 III, 18 | from this habitation of the body which has been appointed 96 III, 18 | Him who placed us in this body that we may inhabit it, 97 III, 19 | state of vigour without the body, it is a divine life; and 98 III, 19 | burthened with an incongruous body. How much more rationally 99 III, 20 | goes to the bottom; and a body abandoned by the soul wastes 100 III, 22 | circumstances, not even in the body, but it is altogether employed 101 III, 27 | pain inflicted upon the body is the material of virtue; 102 III, 27 | should esteem tortures of the body as pleasures, since it is 103 III, 27 | perishes together with the body, equally look down towards 104 III, 27 | the earth: for beyond the body, which is earth, they see 105 III, 27 | made, that with upright body he looks towards heaven, 106 III, 28 | the posture of their own body did not admonish them, that 107 IV, 1 | those things by which the body only is adorned, and nourished, 108 IV, 1 | and goods relating to the body, because all bodies are 109 IV, 3 | in the employment of the body. And therefore that is not 110 IV, 8 | an animal possessed of a body, and subject to death. But 111 IV, 10 | who had assumed a mortal body, what else will prevent 112 IV, 12 | whom is truth, hath taken a body of earth, that He might 113 IV, 13 | He was mortal as to His body, being wise with wondrous 114 IV, 14 | that being born with a body of the race of David, He 115 IV, 15 | the feeble, soundness of body to the maimed, health to 116 IV, 15 | who, while a part of his body was sunk in the water,~" 117 IV, 17 | since that part of the body which is circumcised has 118 IV, 17 | the earth with its whole body and face: it is always the 119 IV, 18 | cross, and the bread His body; for He Himself is the food 120 IV, 19 | dead, fearing lest, the body having been stolen by the 121 IV, 19 | haft enclosed and wrapt His body. Now, that He would not 122 IV, 22 | the weakness incident to a body, and to teach them righteousness ( 123 IV, 24 | and hindered by a corrupt body, of itself can neither comprehend 124 IV, 24 | take to Himself a mortal body. And the reason why it cannot 125 IV, 24 | inasmuch as He is without a body, He will not practise the 126 IV, 24 | because you are free from this body; you do not covet, because 127 IV, 24 | am unable to live in this body. See, I too have a body, 128 IV, 24 | body. See, I too have a body, and yet I contend against 129 IV, 24 | is clothed with a mortal body, that by carrying out his 130 IV, 24 | righteousness must have a body, and that his teaching cannot 131 IV, 24 | undergo weakness of flesh and body, and display in himself 132 IV, 25 | virgin was the mother of His body without a father. He was 133 IV, 26 | He therefore assumed a body, and was clothed in a garment 134 IV, 26 | it was in order that His body might be kept unmutilated, 135 IV, 26 | side. Thus His unbroken body was taken down from the 136 IV, 26 | things were done lest His body, being injured and broken, 137 IV, 26 | the highest part of their body this sign of the true and 138 IV, 29 | strength or hand from the body. When, therefore, He is 139 IV, 29 | inseparable portions of the body. We may use an example more 140 IV, 30 | the unity of the sacred body; and that they admonished 141 V, 2 | may avoid tortures of the body, nor wish in vain to endure 142 V, 9 | by no means spare their body; as though anything could 143 V, 9 | most sacred part of their body; who mutilate themselves, 144 V, 11 | more excellent than the body." Therefore they view with 145 V, 13 | be lacerated in the whole body, and to be burned: not Of 146 V, 16 | human things not by the body, but by the spirit, although 147 V, 20 | this, although he bears a body which is defiled and sordid, 148 V, 22 | the mind, and not in the body. For they see nothing more 149 V, 22 | than is seen, namely the body; and because this is to 150 V, 22 | they bring pleasures to the body, and therefore are as liable 151 V, 22 | as liable to decay as the body itself. But the soul, in 152 VI, 1 | perception and pleasure of the body alone. And as they judge 153 VI, 1 | faculty the slave of the body, they give the reins to 154 VI, 1 | employ the service of the body, and not the booty to make 155 VI, 1 | concerned with heaven, the body with the earth. They who 156 VI, 1 | soul, and seek those of the body, are engaged with darkness 157 VI, 1 | to the earth and to the body, because life and light 158 VI, 1 | without this, by serving the body, are far removed from the 159 VI, 2 | encompassed with an earthly body, they would at once know 160 VI, 3 | end of those ways to the body, and to this life which 161 VI, 4 | themselves to pleasure of the body, they may be unable to look 162 VI, 6 | end of good things to the body, and to this short life, 163 VI, 6 | since they die with the body, which is earth; for they 164 VI, 8 | by their reference to the body, but by their reference 165 VI, 9 | justice will resemble a human body which has no head, in which, 166 VI, 9 | much so as a head without a body; and he resembles this who 167 VI, 9 | limbs. Therefore, that the body may be alive, and capable 168 VI, 9 | virtues, as it were the body. Thus there will exist a 169 VI, 9 | after the dissolution of the body, why do we avoid the goods 170 VI, 10 | united in soul rather than in body. Accordingly Lucretius does 171 VI, 10 | separates himself from the body at large, must live not 172 VI, 14 | are all referred to the body. For to be frugal, or constant, 173 VI, 15 | to tear anything from the body; for this is to wish to 174 VI, 15 | control the lust of the body, he must be free from virtue 175 VI, 17 | refer the chief good to the body, but we measure every duty 176 VI, 17 | be suffered by his whole body, or a flame is to be seized 177 VI, 21 | as pleasant food does the body: true things must be preferred 178 VI, 21 | cattle, are slaves to the body; but lasting, and affording 179 VI, 22 | senses relate only to the body, there is nothing to be 180 VI, 22 | dominion of death with the body itself, to which we have 181 VI, 24 | greater danger than the body, and a cure should be applied 182 VI, 24 | perfect, and his entire body in the most vigorous health, 183 VI, 25 | which was taken from a dead body ought to be offered to a 184 VII, 1 | is of a solid and heavy body, as it received a beginning 185 VII, 1 | soul, together with their body. But those who, swollen 186 VII, 2 | is clothed with a mortal body; therefore he cannot even 187 VII, 2 | being bound up with a frail body, and enclosed in a dark 188 VII, 3 | and that the world is the body of God; as though the world 189 VII, 3 | separate and free from a body. And since they were unable 190 VII, 3 | as the mind governs the body, but as a master rules the 191 VII, 3 | have some power over the body of God. Seas are built up, 192 VII, 3 | without lacerating the divine body? So that we are at once 193 VII, 3 | Does God, then, suffer His body to be harassed, and endure 194 VII, 4 | ENJOYS REASON IN SO FRAIL A BODY.~But we have spoken sufficiently 195 VII, 4 | opposing elements, soul and body, that is, heaven and earth, 196 VII, 4 | without, but within not in the body, but in the heart Unless, 197 VII, 5 | weight and gravity of the body sinking downwards, He determined 198 VII, 5 | his spirit with an earthly body, that, being compacted of 199 VII, 5 | bringing forth of grain, so the body of man, which was taken 200 VII, 5 | man consists of two parts, body and soul, of which the one 201 VII, 5 | which is appointed for the body; the other everlasting, 202 VII, 5 | That earthly one is as the body, and therefore has an end; 203 VII, 5 | nature and the system of the body afford an argument. For 204 VII, 5 | because the nature of his body and of this present life 205 VII, 5 | although the soul and the body are connected together, 206 VII, 5 | the soul are evil to the body, that is, the avoiding of 207 VII, 5 | things which are good for the body are evil to the soul, that 208 VII, 5 | these goods relate to the body, and are earthly; and these 209 VII, 5 | that eternal life, as the body is to the soul. Whoever, 210 VII, 5 | despise the life of the body; nor will he in any other 211 VII, 5 | embraced the life of the body, and shall have turned his 212 VII, 5 | left hand or foot, your body will not be entire, nor 213 VII, 5 | of the framework of the body, the left members are most 214 VII, 5 | opposing elements; for the body, because it is earth, is 215 VII, 5 | dissolution; evil to the body, because it is frail. Since, 216 VII, 5 | frail. Since, therefore, the body and the soul are connected 217 VII, 5 | another, unless when they (the body and soul) are separated. 218 VII, 5 | clothed with the abode of the body. But when a separation shall 219 VII, 5 | have been made between the body and the soul, then evil 220 VII, 5 | disunited from good; and as the body perishes and the soul remains, 221 VII, 5 | should live without the body, in which evil is. But if 222 VII, 5 | as I have said, or the body, will be taken from man; 223 VII, 5 | be ignorant of evil; the body, that he may not be sensible 224 VII, 5 | with wisdom to know, and a body to perceive, God willed 225 VII, 5 | with the mind than with the body, which very few are able 226 VII, 7 | sects, and to reduce it to a body, he assuredly would not 227 VII, 7 | souls perished with the body and were dissolved, Zeno 228 VII, 8 | freed from the abode of the body, as from prison, it flies 229 VII, 9 | perceived by other parts of the body. In like manner, God is 230 VII, 9 | dumb animals, consisted of body only, discerning nothing 231 VII, 9 | after its departure from the body; for it is manifest that 232 VII, 9 | without those parts of the body in which the office of perception 233 VII, 9 | He is vigorous without a body? But if they believe in 234 VII, 9 | heavenly and divine, whose body raised from the ground, 235 VII, 10 | taken; the pleasure of the body puts an end to lust; desire 236 VII, 10 | the soul, the other to the body; so also two deaths are 237 VII, 10 | proposed,--one relating to the body, which all must undergo 238 VII, 10 | because it belongs to the body; so also death is in like 239 VII, 10 | because it affects the body.~ 240 VII, 11 | TIMES, AND OF THE SOUL AND BODY.~Therefore, when the times 241 VII, 11 | life, pertaining to the body and the earth, are about 242 VII, 11 | say of the works of the body and soul? Do not they show 243 VII, 11 | to death? For, as to the body, since it is itself frail 244 VII, 11 | Therefore, if the deeds of the body are mortal for this reason, 245 VII, 11 | this reason, because the body itself is mortal, it follows 246 VII, 11 | also, the desires of the body and of the soul declare 247 VII, 11 | other everlasting. For the body desires nothing except what 248 VII, 11 | duty or enjoyment of the body; and those are not frail, 249 VII, 11 | even in opposition to the body desires the worship of God, 250 VII, 11 | but is separated from the body, because the body can do 251 VII, 11 | from the body, because the body can do nothing without the 252 VII, 11 | great things without the body. Why should I mention that 253 VII, 11 | from without? But if the body is mortal on this account, 254 VII, 12 | XII. OF THE SOUL AND THE BODY, AND OF THEIR UNION AND 255 VII, 12 | is born together with the body, it must necessarily die 256 VII, 12 | necessarily die with the body. But the two cases are not 257 VII, 12 | are not similar. For the body is solid, and capable of 258 VII, 12 | the touch and sight. The body is formed from the earth, 259 VII, 12 | origin from heaven. The body, therefore, since it is 260 VII, 12 | perishes together with the body, since they are produced 261 VII, 12 | opposite direction. For the body does not perish together 262 VII, 12 | hastily depart and desert the body, but both would be dispersed 263 VII, 12 | one point of time; and the body also, while the breath still 264 VII, 12 | departs: yes, truly, the body, being dissolved, the soul 265 VII, 12 | if the earthly and frail body after the departure of the 266 VII, 12 | from the confinement of the body, it flies back to its own 267 VII, 12 | but it is the fault of the body. But, it is said, the memory 268 VII, 12 | sensible even of disease of the body, and suffers forgetfulness 269 VII, 12 | harassed by any pain of the body, or undergo oblivion of 270 VII, 12 | in a certain part of the body, when any violence of disease 271 VII, 12 | soul is united with the body, if it is destitute of virtue, 272 VII, 12 | by the contagion of the body, and from sharing its frailty 273 VII, 12 | shall be disunited from the body it will flourish by itself; 274 VII, 12 | out and separated from the body, can see nothing, so also 275 VII, 12 | itself also a part of the body. This is false, and dissimilar 276 VII, 12 | soul is not a part of the body, but in the body. As that 277 VII, 12 | of the body, but in the body. As that which is contained 278 VII, 12 | mind is not a part of the body, because the body is either 279 VII, 12 | of the body, because the body is either the vessel or 280 VII, 12 | quickly sent forth from the body, but gradually unfolds itself 281 VII, 12 | into the extremities of the body, and the extreme and smaller 282 VII, 12 | because the perception of the body fails, the sensibility of 283 VII, 12 | becomes senseless when the body fails, but it is the body 284 VII, 12 | body fails, but it is the body which becomes senseless 285 VII, 12 | gives sensibility to the body, and causes it to live, 286 VII, 12 | being set free from the body, when his tongue grows dumb 287 VII, 13 | bound by fetters to the body, perceiving corruptible 288 VII, 13 | after the wasting of the body, it has found a very swift 289 VII, 13 | even while it lives in the body? But as on the lyre harmonious 290 VII, 13 | clearer than that of the body, for perceiving those things 291 VII, 20 | through the taint of the body, which being burnt in by 292 VII, 20 | life has fled,~And left the body cold and dead,~E'en then 293 VII, 20 | when separated from the body, is, as the same poet says, 294 VII, 21 | man, like this our earthly body, but indestructible, and 295 VII, 21 | the taint of the earthly body, by which it is held, and 296 VII, 27 | when the strength of their body now fails, are admonished
