  1    I, 5 |            which framed heaven and earth. For he could not say that
  2    I, 5 |        Know first, the heaven, the earth, the main,~The moon's pale
  3    I, 6 |             and moon, and fruitful earth, and waves of the water
  4    I, 7 |            demons who go about the earth and about the sea~Without
  5    I, 11|            even to have reigned on earth? It was not without humour
  6    I, 11|           occurrence took place on earth, inasmuch as the matter
  7    I, 11|          to Pluto. Why was not the earth rather taken as the third
  8    I, 11|      transaction took place on the earth? Therefore it is true that
  9    I, 11|          was a man, and reigned on earth, it only remains that we
 10    I, 11|        times made a circuit of the earth, and bestowed governments
 11    I, 11|           there was justice in the earth. I find something in him
 12    I, 11|         namely, the heaven and the earth. But I am in search of a
 13    I, 11|        laid the foundations of the earth. But if Saturn was born
 14    I, 11|           he was called the son of earth, because we name those who
 15    I, 11|            unknown parents sons of earth." These things, indeed,
 16    I, 11|            names to the heaven and earth, whereas these were before
 17    I, 11|       attributed to the heaven and earth. Therefore it appears that
 18    I, 13|         which were taking place on earth? Why did the Corybantes
 19    I, 13|     relates that Saturn reigned on earth and among men:--~"First
 20    I, 13|           Cronus ruled o'er men on earth,~And then from Cronus sprung
 21    I, 13|           the golden Saturn led on earth;"~and in another place:--~"
 22    I, 13|      appears that he was a king on earth; and this he declares more
 23    I, 13|           the supreme power on the earth. He instituted and prepared
 24    I, 17|          and driven about over the earth, with difficulty found a
 25    I, 17|          was born? Was it from the earth, as the poets would have
 26    I, 17|      Vulcan shed his seed upon the earth, from which source Erichthonius
 27    I, 18|         and brought forth from the earth corn itself, or the vine?
 28    I, 18|     worship of Him who created the earth with its living creatures,
 29   II, 1 |           and those who are of the earth, and buried in the earth,
 30   II, 1 |           earth, and buried in the earth, to Him who was the Creator
 31   II, 1 |         who was the Creator of the earth itself. And yet this impiety
 32   II, 1 |            forward and look to the earth, He gave to man an elevated
 33   II, 2 |           O souls bent down to the earth, and destitute of heavenly
 34   II, 2 |            you bend it down to the earth; you depress to things below
 35   II, 2 |        earthly, and incline to the earth. Why do you deprive yourselves
 36   II, 2 |          formed, what are they but earth, out of which they were
 37   II, 2 |      objects? why do you place the earth above your heads? For when
 38   II, 2 |            lower yourselves to the earth, and humiliate yourselves,
 39   II, 2 |           and more humble than the earth, except death and hell.
 40   II, 2 |       these, you would despise the earth lying beneath your feet,
 41   II, 2 |       despise and trample upon the earth is nothing else than to
 42   II, 2 |           because they are made of earth; also not to desire riches,
 43   II, 2 |            of as a lodging, is but earth. Worship a living being,
 44   II, 3 |         that you worship things of earth made by the hand: you understand
 45   II, 3 |       weigh and press them down to earth."~When he said these things,
 46   II, 3 |          away and depressed to the earth, but that they should think
 47   II, 4 |     garments, and bury them in the earth, so they honour the gods,
 48   II, 5 |        true God; who suspended the earth on a firm foundation, who
 49   II, 5 |            majesty; who girded the earth with seas, and ordered the
 50   II, 5 |            its various lights, the earth with its plains and mountains,
 51   II, 5 |            living creatures on the earth, who wander hither and thither
 52   II, 6 |      follows that the whole of the earth cannot appear to be God.
 53   II, 6 |        neither the heaven, nor the earth, nor the sea, which are
 54   II, 7 |            also those of fire, and earth, and sea, which they call
 55   II, 7 |         long for anything from the earth, or happy if they are in
 56   II, 9 |          God, then neither was the earth, and water, and air, and
 57   II, 9 |         appear to be born from the earth. For the earth does not
 58   II, 9 |            from the earth. For the earth does not give birth to these
 59   II, 9 |           was not made by God, the earth indeed, and water, and air,
 60   II, 9 |         and the foundations of the earth beneath were being laid;
 61   II, 10|       Creator. Then He founded the earth, and placed it under the
 62   II, 10|        stars; but He placed on the earth the darkness, which is contrary
 63   II, 10|           these. For of itself the earth contains no light, unless
 64   II, 10|         contrary, He placed on the earth darkness, and the inhabitants
 65   II, 10|       established two parts of the earth itself opposite to one another,
 66   II, 11|         which both the air and the earth and the seas were filled.
 67   II, 11|            by their kinds from the earth, that they might be of service
 68   II, 11|          assist in cultivating the earth, whence they were called
 69   II, 11|       because He was made from the earth. Finally, Plato says that
 70   II, 11|           for its removal from the earth. Now, both philosophers

 74   II, 12|     animals; and thus that the new earth, retaining the productive
 75   II, 12|         Wombs grew attached to the earth by roots;"~and that these,
 76   II, 12|      animals; afterwards, that the earth itself abounded with a kind
 77   II, 12|  generation was given to them, the earth ceased to bring forth, and
 78   II, 12|         might be produced from the earth without the office of parents,
 79   II, 12|        moisture condensed from the earth might be formed into the

 83   II, 13|        race, and to fill the whole earth with a multitude. But in
 84   II, 13|          as it were, of heaven and earth: since the soul by which
 85   II, 13|           God, the body out of the earth, of the dust of which we
 86   II, 13|          is, fire, air, water, and earth; perhaps following Trismegistus,
 87   II, 13|            water, and something of earth, and yet that they were
 88   II, 13|            nor air, nor water, nor earth. And these things indeed
 89   II, 13|           false; for the nature of earth is contained in the flesh,
 90   II, 13|            as moisture is from the earth; nor the vital heat from
 91   II, 13|           this union of heaven and earth, the image of which is developed
 92   II, 13|        subject to the soul, as the earth is to heaven. For it is,
 93   II, 13|          former, which is from the earth and the devil, to obey.
 94   II, 13|       execute the last judgment on earth; and having removed death,
 95   II, 14|    afterwards God, when He saw the earth filled with wickedness and
 96   II, 14|           mountains. Then when the earth was dry, God, execrating
 97   II, 14|          diligently cultivated the earth, and planted a vineyard
 98   II, 14|          the islands and the whole earth; and thus being torn away
 99   II, 14|            were scattered over the earth, admiring the elements of
100   II, 14|           the heaven, the sun, the earth, the sea, without any images
101   II, 15|           had given power over the earth, should by his subtilty
102   II, 15|        with contamination from the earth, and thus lose the dignity
103   II, 15|        most deceitful ruler of the earth, by his very association,
104   II, 15|       themselves, they fell to the earth. Thus from angels the devil
105   II, 15|           heaven, the other of the earth. The latter are the wicked
106   II, 15|          Zeus, Good, living on the earth, the guardians of mortal
107   II, 15|         say, wander over the whole earth, and contrive a solace for
108   II, 15|         wise demons as gods of the earth, and as averters of those
109   II, 18|         perception, since they are earth. But who cannot understand
110   II, 18|       itself that it may adore the earth? which is placed beneath
111   II, 18|        heavenly countenance to the earth, but may direct our eyes
112   II, 18|            by God, wallow over the earth, who not only are unable
113   II, 18|          the dead, or venerate the earth, or make over their souls
114   II, 19|        that which is made from the earth. And this, indeed, may be
115   II, 19|       abject, nor cast down to the earth after the manner of the
116  III, 3 |     greater than the whole of this earth; also whether the moon be
117  III, 3 |            is the thickness of the earth, or on what foundations

119  III, 9 |       prostrated themselves to the earth, we must suppose that Anaxagoras
120  III, 10|      direction or bend down to the earth. We are not able to bend
121  III, 10|           able to bend down to the earth, even if we should wish,

125  III, 20|       therefore fall down upon the earth, and use as feet those hands
126  III, 23|          who beheld nothing on the earth when the sun was shining.
127  III, 23|     eighteen times larger than the earth; and, as was consistent
128  III, 23|         the moon there was another earth, and that there another
129  III, 23|           in which we live on this earth. Therefore these lunatics
130  III, 23|           may be a moon to another earth below this. Seneca says
131  III, 24|           hail fall upwards to the earth? And does any one wonder
132  III, 24|            of the heaven, that the earth was enclosed in the midst
133  III, 24|           But if this were so, the earth also itself must be like
134  III, 24|        which was round. But if the earth also were round, it must
135  III, 24|            would be no part of the earth uninhabited by men and the
136  III, 24|          Thus the rotundity of the earth leads, in addition, to the
137  III, 24|        heaven to be lower than the earth, were is not that this book

140  III, 27|      equally look down towards the earth: for beyond the body, which
141  III, 27|          beyond the body, which is earth, they see nothing further,
142  III, 28|            if nature is heaven and earth. and everything which is
143   IV, 1 |       chief good in heaven, but on earth. And on this account assuredly
144   IV, 1 |   downwards, clung to goods of the earth, as they did to earth-born
145   IV, 4 |         that there were men on the earth before the birth of Vulcan,
146   IV, 4 |            Coelus himself, and the earth. For He must have fashioned
147   IV, 4 |        finished the heaven and the earth. He alone is to be called
148   IV, 6 |      beginning, before He made the earth, and before He established
149   IV, 6 |          strong foundations of the earth, I was with Him arranging
150   IV, 8 |     heavens, and covered the whole earth with a cloud. I have dwelt
151   IV, 10|          God should descend to the earth, that He might build a temple
152   IV, 10|           God throughout the whole earth, and at last be crucified,
153   IV, 10|          reason Christ came to the earth, that the foundation and
154   IV, 11|          God wished to send to the earth one who should measure His
155   IV, 11|            heaven; and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken,
156   IV, 12|         with them, that is, on the earth and in mortal flesh. Whence
157   IV, 12|        Truth has sprung out of the earth;" because God, in whom is
158   IV, 12|        truth, hath taken a body of earth, that He might open a way
159   IV, 12|          salvation to those of the earth. In like manner Isaiah also: "
160   IV, 12|             who raised up from the earth a shepherd of the sheep."
161   IV, 12|          on righteousness; let the earth open, and put forth a Saviour.
162   IV, 12|           should twice come to the earth, once to announce to the
163   IV, 12|          clothed with flesh on the earth, that having assumed the
164   IV, 12|           displayed towards God on earth, there was given to Him
165   IV, 12|          in that all tribes of the earth obey His precepts. And also,
166   IV, 12|            government of the whole earth: then, every evil having
167   IV, 13|         Afterward He was seen upon earth, and dwelt among men." David
168   IV, 14|          He was sent by God to the earth, the Spirit of God declared
169   IV, 16|         had been most happy on the earth, and had reigned through
170   IV, 16|         And since Christ came upon earth, supplied with virtue and
171   IV, 16|           Christ would come to the earth without exciting the notice
172   IV, 17|           prostrates itself to the earth with its whole body and
173   IV, 17|            is, who worship mud and earth. Thus all the precepts of
174   IV, 18|       shall be taken away from the earth; from the transgressions
175   IV, 18|       sweep away his life from the earth, and his name shall no more
176   IV, 25|            was no righteousness on earth, He sent a teacher, as it
177   IV, 25|        might spread throughout the earth a true and holy worship.
178   IV, 26|         their souls from heaven to earth, run into the snares of
179   IV, 26|            energy which was not of earth, and for the future might
180   IV, 26|           as His ambassador to the earth a teacher of virtue, who
181    V, 5 |          of men, departed from the earth, and withdrew to heaven;
182    V, 5 |            while it delayed on the earth. And this is not to be regarded
183    V, 5 |            since God had given the earth in common to all, that they
184    V, 5 |          shut up the fruits of the earth produced for them, nor did
185    V, 6 |          For if justice was on the earth in the age which they call "
186    V, 7 |        justice was restored to the earth, but was assigned to a few;
187    V, 7 |        when He gave justice to the earth; and this I have shown in
188    V, 8 |            long for justice on the earth, while the worship of false
189    V, 8 |           prevailed throughout the earth; of that God, I say, who
190    V, 8 |        said, be these evils on the earth, if there were by common
191    V, 9 |       other reason for leaving the earth than the shedding of human
192    V, 9 |           sorceries, as though the earth would not contain their
193    V, 11|          deny light to the living, earth to the dead? I say, therefore,
194    V, 15|         there was then none on the earth, that its nature or qualities
195    V, 16|        conspicuous and elevated on earth. For, not to mention that
196    V, 19|           God, who made heaven and earth, who fashioned the human
197    V, 20|           may be without injury on earth, which looks to heaven with
198    V, 22|           away altogether from the earth, that there may be none
199    V, 24|         the evil monsters from the earth. But He also, although He
200   VI, 1 |   knowledge of anything except the earth, and they estimate good
201   VI, 1 |          heaven, the body with the earth. They who neglect the goods
202   VI, 1 |         death, which belong to the earth and to the body, because
203   VI, 2 |            because they are of the earth, stand in need of lights,
204   VI, 2 |      heavenly, are recalled to the earth even by the religious rites
205   VI, 2 |            are devoted. For on the earth there is need of a light,
206   VI, 2 |         which is altogether of the earth. For what heavenly influence
207   VI, 3 |         this life which we lead on earth. The poets perhaps did better,
208   VI, 4 |       things which are esteemed on earth as good things--I mean wealth,
209   VI, 6 |            as goods, adhere to the earth, and lie on the ground,
210   VI, 6 |            with the body, which is earth; for they do not tend to
211   VI, 6 |           but is altogether of the earth, since it produces no effect
212   VI, 6 |          that which remains on the earth. But what it is to make
213   VI, 8 |           prefer to seek it on the earth, where it cannot appear.
214   VI, 8 |           ought not to look to the earth, but to the heaven: and,
215   VI, 10|           were first born from the earth, when they passed a wandering
216   VI, 10|          from that one man all the earth was filled with the human
217   VI, 10|        there were never men on the earth who could not speak except
218   VI, 11|      burying their property in the earth; because the remembrance
219   VI, 12|          we will restore it to the earth, from which it had its origin;
220   VI, 15|           receiving virtue, as the earth is of cultivation; and He
221   VI, 17|            things which are of the earth, it is a vice; on the other
222   VI, 17|          they are cast down to the earth, will become vices, but
223  VII, 1 |        present sweet enjoyments of earth in comparison of solitary
224  VII, 1 |    beginning. For when we see that earth, and water, and fire perish,
225  VII, 1 |           mind is bent down to the earth, and fixed on the ground.
226  VII, 1 |           Lord shall return to the earth to render to every one either

228  VII, 3 |          first outer aspect of the earth, and plunged itself into

231  VII, 4 |        looks up to it? this is the earth, who inhabits it? this is
232  VII, 5 |           Moreover, He gave to the earth, which He designed as their
233  VII, 5 |             He formed man from the earth itself, which He prepared
234  VII, 5 |          good and evil; and as the earth itself is fruitful for the
