  1    I, 1 |       happy day had shone upon the world, in which the Most High
  2    I, 1 |    righteous in other parts of the world, the Omnipotent will also
  3    I, 3 |            government of the whole world? And not without reason,
  4    I, 3 |       divide the government of the world, undoubtedly each will have
  5    I, 5 |            calls the Framer of the world, the Artificer of all things.
  6    I, 5 |            is superior to God: the world must therefore be governed
  7    I, 5 |            Judge, the Ruler of the world, and the God or heaven and
  8    I, 6 |          is alone the ruler of the world, who alone was and is from
  9    I, 7 |         verse:--~"O harmony of the world, bearing light, all-wise
 10    I, 9 |            adulteries, pollute the world, which he is related to
 11    I, 11|          out the government of the world, that the empire of the
 12    I, 11|           that which was above the world which was called the firmament,
 13    I, 13|         having first traversed the world."~Janus received him wandering
 14    I, 22|          spread abroad through the world the observance of his worship,
 15   II, 1 |      consent of men throughout the world by a foolish persuasion
 16   II, 5 |             the origin of a better world," who is called God, whose
 17   II, 6 |         which are the parts of the world, can be gods, it follows
 18   II, 6 |          gods, it follows that the world altogether is not God; whereas
 19   II, 6 |      itself be insensible. But the world produces man, who is endowed
 20   II, 6 |       because man is sensible, the world, of which man is a part,
 21   II, 6 |     conclusions are false; for the world does not produce man, nor
 22   II, 6 |           nor is man a part of the world. For the same God who created
 23   II, 6 |           same God who created the world, also created man from the
 24   II, 6 |           man is not a part of the world, in the same manner in which
 25   II, 6 |         for it is possible for the world to be without man, as it
 26   II, 6 |            one people, so also the world is the abode of the whole
 27   II, 6 |          falsely assumed, that the world is possessed of sensibility,
 28   II, 6 |            if man is a part of the world, and if the world is endowed
 29   II, 6 |           of the world, and if the world is endowed with sensibility
 30   II, 6 |         because man is mortal, the world must also of necessity be
 31   II, 6 |            on the contrary, if the world is God, its parts also are
 32   II, 6 |          as you say, a part of the world. And if man, then also both
 33   II, 6 |  sensibility, and are parts of the world. But this is endurable;
 34   II, 6 |  sensibility, and are parts of the world. Thus arguments drawn from
 35   II, 6 |       philosophers assert that the world was constructed for the
 36   II, 6 |            dwelling? Therefore the world is neither god, nor living,
 37   II, 6 |          there is a builder of the world, even God; and the world
 38   II, 6 |           world, even God; and the world which has been made is distinct
 39   II, 6 |          the other elements of the world are gods, they also say
 40   II, 6 |             they also say that the world itself is God! How is it
 41   II, 6 |          gods, it follows that the world is not God, but the dwelling-place
 42   II, 6 | dwelling-place of gods. But if the world is God, it follows that
 43   II, 6 |     between a living being and the world. For because a living being
 44   II, 6 |          what resemblance does the world present to this? Truly they
 45   II, 6 |       built or inhabits it; so the world, having no sensibility of
 46   II, 7 |        cities throughout the whole world. Therefore they consecrate
 47   II, 9 |              IX. OF THE DEVIL, THE WORLD,GOD, PROVIDENCE, MAN, AND
 48   II, 9 |     commenced this business of the world,--inasmuch as there was
 49   II, 9 |            began the fabric of the world, set over the whole work
 50   II, 9 |        constructed and adorned the world. Now it is easy to reply
 51   II, 9 |           He was about to make the world, first prepared the material
 52   II, 9 |            out of matter made this world. In that case, it follows
 53   II, 9 |          end, at the time when the world was made out of it, it also
 54   II, 9 |           was not made by God, the world was not made by God. He
 55   II, 9 |         was certain. For, that the world was made by divine providence (
 56   II, 9 |       voice. bear witness that the world was made, and that it was
 57   II, 9 |       certain, therefore, that the world was arranged by providence,
 58   II, 9 |          to have supposed that the world was not made by divine providence,
 59   II, 9 |        providence; but because the world was made by divine providence,
 60   II, 9 |        all-powerful, than that the world was not made by God, because
 61   II, 9 |        then, will I admit that the world itself was not established
 62   II, 9 |            the matter of which the world consists, and the world
 63   II, 9 |            world consists, and the world which consists of matter,
 64   II, 9 |            does not admit that the world was made by God, is wont
 65   II, 9 |   unwilling to bring him into this world until all things were completed.
 66   II, 9 |            now been applied to the world and to all other things.
 67   II, 9 |           he was brought into this world as into a house prepared
 68   II, 9 |    described the completion of the world, and the formation of the
 69   II, 9 |        when it is alleged that the world was made by God, in whom,
 70   II, 10|                          X. OF THE WORLD, AND ITS PARTS, THE ELEMENTS
 71   II, 10|          sentiments respecting the world and God its Maker, let us
 72   II, 10|          divine workmanship of the world, concerning which we are
 73   II, 10|            and poets said that the world was made up of a discordant
 74   II, 11|     Therefore, having finished the world, He commanded that animals
 75   II, 11|         have so quickly filled the world with men? But it is plain
 76   II, 11|        trouble, by saying that the world always existed, and therefore
 77   II, 11|           the conflagration of the world, as is said to have happened
 78   II, 11|        unable to maintain that the world also itself had no beginning.
 79   II, 11|    Aristotle, who thought that the world would be everlasting, will,
 80   II, 12|            at the beginning of the world there was no winter nor
 81   II, 12|          nothing can exist in this world which does not continue
 82   II, 12|           should be born, that the world might not appear gloomy
 83   II, 13|         bear the similitude of the world itself, which is composed
 84   II, 13|        opposite substances, as the world itself was made from light
 85   II, 14|       admiring the elements of the world, began to worship the heaven,
 86   II, 14|          from the beginning of the world, and that heathenism was
 87   II, 14|            to the beginning of the world.~
 88   II, 17|       command. For we say that the world is so governed by God, as
 89   II, 17|           But that guardian of the world and ruler of the universe,
 90  III, 9 |           introduced you into this world, as a witness and praiser
 91  III, 9 |          he was born to behold the world, although he would comprise
 92  III, 9 |            much does God excel the world, for God made and governs
 93  III, 9 |           God made and governs the world. Therefore it is not the
 94  III, 9 |            Therefore it is not the world which is to be contemplated
 95  III, 14|      Capitol, but Him who made the world and created man, who bestowed
 96  III, 15|           founder and ruler of the world, God, and as truth is one;
 97  III, 17|     providence, how is it that the world was made with such order
 98  III, 20|         profane the secrets of the world and this heavenly temple
 99  III, 20|          cannot perceive that this world, completed with such wonderful
100  III, 22|          nation has existed in the world so foolish or so vain as
101  III, 24|           the seven wonders of the world, when philosophers make
102  III, 24|     breadth, they thought that the world is round like a ball, and
103  III, 24|      rapidity of the motion of the world are borne back to the east.

107   IV, 3 |        divinity which governs this world supports mankind with incredible
108   IV, 4 |            one God, Creator of the world, and Marcus Tullius, who
109   IV, 6 |         this excellent work of the world, begat a pure and incorruptible

112   IV, 7 |       begotten at first before the world, but who also arranged it
113   IV, 8 |           hands these works of the world were made. "I," He says, "
114   IV, 10|       necessary, as the end of the world approached, that the Son
115   IV, 12|    overcome and lay open the other world also, and thus at length
116   IV, 14|           prevailed throughout the world, that His name had now also
117   IV, 18|       manner that cross, which the world itself, and all the elements
118   IV, 18|            all the elements of the world, bewailed? But that these
119   IV, 23|          since the creation of the world has been such, except Christ,
120   IV, 26|         the nations throughout the world, which were estranged from
121   IV, 26|           those who linger in this world, yet drink and food of this

123   IV, 26|         all nations from the whole world should meet together at

143    V, 24|         people even in the present world, commands us, however, to

148   VI, 17|        still witnessed through the world, in the tormenting of whom
149   VI, 17|         threats and terrors of the world. Thus with lofty and invincible

152  VII, 1 |            forth the system of the world, that it may easily be understood
153  VII, 1 |            about the making of the world, could neither know nor
154  VII, 1 |           objection, said that the world always had existed, and
155  VII, 1 |           are clearly parts of the world, it is understood that that
156  VII, 2 |       comprehend the system of the world, which comprises the whole
157  VII, 2 |           you will contemplate the world, with all the things which
158  VII, 3 |         III. OF NATURE, AND OF THE WORLD; AND A CENSURE OF THE STOICS
159  VII, 3 |      widely different, God and the world, the Maker and the work;
160  VII, 3 |        mixed up in nature with the world. For sometimes they so mix
161  VII, 3 |         Himself is the mind of the world, and that the world is the
162  VII, 3 |            the world, and that the world is the body of God; as though
163  VII, 3 |         body of God; as though the world and God began to exist at
164  VII, 3 |           did not Himself make the world. And they themselves also
165  VII, 3 |       willed it, exist without the world, inasmuch as God is the
166  VII, 3 |            they mixed Him with the world, that is, with His own work.
167  VII, 3 |         their own saying, that the world was both made and is governed
168  VII, 3 |     providence? For if He made the world, it follows that He existed
169  VII, 3 |        that He existed without the world; if He governs it, it is
170  VII, 3 |            which is mixed with the world, and with all parts of the
171  VII, 3 |          and with all parts of the world, abandoned the first outer
172  VII, 3 |       derived from Plato, that the world was made by God, and is
173  VII, 3 |            the Stoics also say the world was made for the sake of
174  VII, 3 |   Lucretius, when he said that the world was not made by the gods,
175  VII, 3 |         the glorious nature of the world"--~then he introduced:--~"
176  VII, 3 |           forth the mystery of the world and man, of which they,
177  VII, 3 |            true, that is, that the world was made by God, and was
178  VII, 3 |      produced? Why do we enjoy the world itself? what means the creation
179  VII, 3 |          to those who say that the world always existed: I omit that
180  VII, 3 |             but I say this, if the world always existed, it can have
181  VII, 3 |          made has no plan. But the world has a plan by which it both
182  VII, 3 |            system, and reduced the world, and all things which are
183  VII, 3 |       human affairs. But since the world and all its parts, as we
184  VII, 4 |           the Stoics say, that the world was made for the sake of
185  VII, 4 |         plain, therefore, that the world was made by God, not on
186  VII, 4 |         God, not on account of the world itself; for since it is
187  VII, 4 |          be said that God made the world for His own sake, since
188  VII, 4 |           He can exist without the world, as He did before it was
189  VII, 4 |       evident, therefore, that the world was constructed for the
190  VII, 4 |         perceive the system of the world as man does. We must here
191  VII, 4 |            whose sake God made the world itself and all things, as
192  VII, 5 |          OF THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE WORLD, AND OF THE CHIEF GOOD.~
193  VII, 5 |    therefore, God did not make the world for His own sake, because
194  VII, 5 |     forward that God both made the world for the sake of man, and
195  VII, 5 |            to man as to create the world for his sake, to furnish
196  VII, 5 |            surpassing works of the world; and having suspended the
197  VII, 5 |            to the condition of the world, He formed man from the
198  VII, 5 |      mortal, when He had built the world for his sake? First of all,
199  VII, 5 |            banished to this common world, that he might at once experience
200  VII, 5 |         although he had framed the world for his sake, namely, that

202  VII, 6 |            a brief definition. The world has been created for this
203  VII, 6 |       acknowledge the Maker of the world and of ourselves--God; we
204  VII, 6 |            this the mystery of the world, from which they are estranged,
205  VII, 6 |            affairs of man, and the world itself? which, though it
206  VII, 6 |           gods, or by whom was the world established? Why, or when,
207  VII, 7 |      portions. Plato said that the world was made by God: the prophets
208  VII, 7 |            atoms; since so great a world, so adorned and of such
209  VII, 7 |            The Stoics say that the world, and all things which are
210  VII, 9 |         the approaching end of the world. Before all things, since
211  VII, 9 |           by fortune, and that the world was established by nature,
212  VII, 9 |            since the nature of the world consists of two elements
213  VII, 14|        FIRST AND LAST TIMES OF THE WORLD.~Since we have spoken of
214  VII, 14|         primal period at which the world was made, said that many
215  VII, 14|       beautiful arrangement of the world was completed; and in this
216  VII, 14|       beginning and the end of the world, respecting which we will
217  VII, 14|          from the beginning of the world, know that the six thousandth
218  VII, 14|           plain. God completed the world and this admirable work
219  VII, 14|         completed in six days, the world must continue in its present
220  VII, 14|         from the labours which the world now has long endured. But
221  VII, 14|           introduced him into this world as into a home now carefully
222  VII, 14|           a thousand years in this world; so now from this earthly
223  VII, 14|         may bear rule in this same world through a thousand years.
224  VII, 14|            also of prophets of the world, agreeing with the heavenly,
225  VII, 14|            the wearied and wasting world. But the things which are
226  VII, 14|         last ending comes upon the world, I will subjoin, being collected
227  VII, 15|          OF THE DEVASTATION OF THE WORLD AND CHANGE OF THE EMPIRES.~
228  VII, 15|          oppressive bondage of the world. But since at that time
229  VII, 15|        nations, that is, the whole world, be beaten with heavenly
230  VII, 15|            all the elements of the world, by which the impending
231  VII, 15|      Therefore, as the end of this world approaches, the condition
232  VII, 15|            sword will traverse the world, mowing down everything,

235  VII, 15|        land and sea over the whole world, until, having subdued all
236  VII, 15|       would be taken away from the world.~

238  VII, 16|          time, who will divide the world, not to govern, but to consume
