4 I, 1 | disagree among one another with great contention, and are for

7 I, 3 | he who imagines that so great a magnitude as this cannot
8 I, 3 | does not comprehend how great are the might and power
9 I, 3 | conceives in his mind how great is the immensity of that
10 I, 3 | however many and however great he may consider them,--whatever
11 I, 3 | breast admit the light of so great understanding, nor is the
12 I, 3 | capable of explaining such great subjects--it is right that
13 I, 5 | of the truth itself is so great, that no one can be so blind
14 I, 5 | speaks of the true and great God as the first-born because
15 I, 5 | of his joyous spouse; and great himself, mingling with her

18 I, 6 | was a man, yet he was of great antiquity, and most fully
19 I, 6 | wrote books, and those in great numbers, relating to the
20 I, 6 | that the king refused so great a price, and derided the
21 I, 8 | Timoeus asserts to be so great, that no one can either
22 I, 8 | completed those works so great and wonderful, and even
23 I, 8 | reflect on the subject of such great majesty, they who worship
24 I, 8 | Doubtless because they were very great and powerful kings; and
25 I, 9 | Nor, indeed, are those great and wonderful actions which
26 I, 9 | For there is no power so great, as the orator says, which
27 I, 10 | the Indians. But that very great and unconquered Indian commander
28 I, 10 | styled Most Excellent and Great? Is he not, from his earliest
29 I, 11 | commit perjury? What is this great dread of the infernal marsh,

32 I, 11 | from the meeting of such great elements. Let us see what
33 I, 13 | his brothers. There is no great dispute, if there is doubt,
34 I, 14 | imprisoned, came with a great multitude of Cretans, and
35 I, 15 | this rite. And yet these great kings, on account of the
36 I, 15 | successors contributed in a great degree to the error; for,
37 I, 16 | their errors. This is a great undertaking, and worthy
38 I, 17 | Jupiter, being bound by so great an oath, was not able to

40 I, 17 | reason why she undertook so great a labour for a youth so
41 I, 18 | extinguished and destroyed a great part of the human race.
42 I, 18 | of the human race. Oh how great the darkness in which you

44 I, 20 | paramour of Hericules. Now how great must that immortality be
45 I, 20 | Flora, having obtained great wealth by this practice,
46 I, 20 | which had been found in the great sewer; and because he did
47 I, 20 | that Greece undertook a great and bold design in consecrating
48 I, 20 | not to have been called a great design, or a design at all,
49 I, 20 | what purport to bestow such great expenditure on the forming

66 II, 7 | handed them down; anti so great is the authority of antiquity,
67 II, 8 | There remains therefore a great subject of inquiry, the
68 II, 8 | also gained for herself great veneration among men. For
69 II, 9 | God made these works so great and wonderful: for He made
70 II, 9 | permitted to speak with great freedom, and to entertain
71 II, 9 | man had contrived such great works; and especially if
72 II, 11 | should be created, both great and smaller. And they were
73 II, 11 | but those which are of great strength He gave, that they
74 II, 12 | must have been made with great judgment; and in the next
75 II, 18 | of God. For it is a very great crime to devote one's self
76 II, 20 | PHILOSOPHY AND THE TRUTH.~A great and difficult portion of
77 III, 1 | work,--a work, perhaps, too great to be sustained by my strength;
78 III, 1 | the power of truth is so great that it defends itself even
79 III, 1 | shall we effect anything great in convicting them of ignorance,
80 III, 3 | whether the sun is as great as it appears to be, or
81 III, 3 | incredible swiftness; how great is the thickness of the

90 III, 11 | of necessity produce some great good. But what shall we
91 III, 12 | necessarily produce some great good from itself, because
92 III, 12 | animals, is considered a great good, it is manifest that
93 III, 12 | that it becomes also a very great and perfect good if it is

98 III, 15 | saying, that there was a great difference between him and
99 III, 16 | Hortensius employed has great weight also against philosophy,--
100 III, 17 | but because they bring great pain. But rather make out
101 III, 18 | unavenged, and since we have a great Judge who alone always has
102 III, 18 | to the commission of this great crime; yet he, however,

104 III, 19 | is impossible to say what great blindness and errors are
105 III, 20 | now see what there was so great in Socrates himself, that
106 III, 20 | less can we suppose that so great a fabric could either have

108 III, 23 | so as not to imperil so great a multitude; lest, if they
109 III, 23 | through excessive heat, so great a calamity should be said
110 III, 25 | LEARNING PHILOSOPHY, AND WHAT GREAT QUALIFICATIONS ARE NECESSARY
111 III, 25 | in reading, because in so great a variety of subjects it
112 III, 26 | shall be taken away. So great is the power of divine wisdom,

114 III, 28 | but that he saw, because a great addition had been made in
115 III, 29 | same writer, in a work of great seriousness, in which he
116 III, 29 | the power of fortune is great on either side? For both
117 III, 30 | might show that so many and great intellects have expended
118 IV, 1 | increased, and many and great intellects were always intent
119 IV, 1 | it is incredible with how great a desire of inquiring into
120 IV, 2 | near, to send from heaven a great leader, who should reveal
121 IV, 3 | bestows upon us many and great things; and Lord on this
122 IV, 8 | birth of His has introduced great terror into the minds of
123 IV, 8 | conceive in his mind so great impiety as to think that
124 IV, 8 | or since His power was so great, that He accomplished whatever
125 IV, 8 | and the other angels is great. For they proceeded from
126 IV, 10 | Egyptians followed with this great host of his men, and rashly
127 IV, 11 | setting, my name shall be great among the Gentiles." David
128 IV, 12 | and became a mother in great pity." Likewise the prophet
129 IV, 12 | name is called Messenger of great counsel." For on this account
130 IV, 14 | was the builder of this great and eternal temple, He must
131 IV, 14 | God showed me Jesus the great Priest standing before the
132 IV, 14 | therefore, O Jesus, Thou great Priest."~Who, therefore,
133 IV, 15 | works wrought by Him when a great multitude followed Him of
134 IV, 15 | waves, which were borne with great violence, were still, and
135 IV, 15 | I, the prophetess of the great God, am mad."~Therefore
136 IV, 16 | Him in accordance with a great and divine plan, and that
137 IV, 16 | nations. Therefore, when a great multitude from time to time
138 IV, 16 | when they read with what great power and glory the Son
139 IV, 17 | come to pass that a very great prophet would be sent by
140 IV, 18 | can I here deplore in so great a crime? or in what words
141 IV, 18 | words can I lament such great wickedness? For we are not
142 IV, 18 | eloquent, and supplied with so great an abundance of deeds and
143 IV, 18 | and crucified Him with great degradation, therefore hath
144 IV, 22 | these things were done by a great and wonderful plan; and
145 IV, 25 | and will. For we have one great and principal struggle to
146 IV, 26 | a figurative meaning and great significance, as had also
147 IV, 26 | which He did signified the great efficacy and power of His
148 IV, 26 | reference to the cross, it has great force and meaning, which
149 IV, 26 | then He might show that a great multitude, collected together
150 IV, 26 | on their foreheads that great and lofty sign. And the
151 IV, 26 | that it may appear what great efficacy the truth itself
152 IV, 27 | sufficient to show what great efficacy the power of this
153 IV, 27 | power of this sign has. How great a terror this sign is to
154 IV, 27 | religion, which contains such great power for overcoming, or
155 V, 1 | renowned, since he had sought great glory to himself from the
156 V, 3 | would venture to oppose so great an authority? We must certainly
157 V, 7 | not be agitated by very great and perpetual errors. Therefore
158 V, 7 | it. This is a matter of great disputation, why a difference
159 V, 10 | with calm government. How great a mist, therefore, how great
160 V, 10 | great a mist, therefore, how great a cloud of darkness and
161 V, 11 | Therefore it cannot be told what great and what grievous modes
162 V, 11 | resisted for two years with great spirit appeared at length
163 V, 13 | could not surmount such great tortures without the aid
164 V, 16 | present earthly goods to which great honour is paid are contrary
165 V, 17 | that he may buy it at a great price? It evidently appears
166 V, 17 | to prefer to buy it at a great price." From which he wished
167 V, 18 | present life, cannot know how great is the force of justice.
168 V, 18 | since it undergoes such great labours of this life in
169 V, 18 | the power of which is so great, that when it has raised
170 V, 18 | power of innocence is so great, that wherever it journeys,
171 V, 19 | both from the !arguments of great philosophers, and from the
172 V, 19 | too highly, and exhibits great self-complacency, that its
173 V, 19 | For they do not know how great an act of impiety it is
174 V, 20 | from this very thing, how great a difference there is between
175 V, 21 | religion is this, or how great must that majesty be considered,
176 V, 23 | instance, patience is a great and leading virtue, which
177 V, 23 | pious; but piety is a very great virtue. To this is added,
178 V, 23 | this happens. First of all, great numbers are driven from
179 V, 23 | them. These things have great effect; but these causes
180 V, 23 | wonderfully gain over a great multitude to God.~
181 VI, 3 | appear that there are very great labours in undertaking virtues,
182 VI, 3 | cannot take place without great labour--they say that he
183 VI, 4 | wearing of the feet, and with great precautions against failing.
184 VI, 6 | very things which, with its great and lofty mind, it desires
185 VI, 8 | wander, as it were, on the great sea, and do not understand
186 VI, 8 | been delivered by the one great Master and Ruler of all,
187 VI, 9 | hope, which may apply a great and illustrious solace for
188 VI, 10 | discrepancy between them is not great; since the causes are different,
189 VI, 11 | gain nothing by their own great loss. For what must be said
190 VI, 11 | would be sufficient even for great cities? Must we not say
191 VI, 12 | ransoming of captives is a great and noble exercise of justice,
192 VI, 12 | shows. This is the part of great and eminent men." Therefore
193 VI, 12 | these things they are called great and eminent. For it is deserving
194 VI, 12 | praise, or certainly no great praise, because he is bound
195 VI, 12 | receive. Nor is it less a great work of justice to protect
196 VI, 12 | greatest kindness, and of great beneficence; and he who
197 VI, 12 | possessions. For what if a great number of men shall be in
198 VI, 12 | impedient. It is the part of a great and lofty mind to despise
199 VI, 12 | adequate to the performance of great works alone, cultivate justice
200 VI, 12 | miserably thrown away to the great sacrifice, that in return
201 VI, 12 | gift from God. Mercy has a great reward; for God promises
202 VI, 16 | rejoice too little, is a very great crime. We may say the same
203 VI, 16 | be moderate, yet it is a great vice. Therefore it is not
204 VI, 17 | vices, that they are even great virtues. Of others, I will
205 VI, 17 | dread or fear as a very great vice, and think that it
206 VI, 17 | think that it is a very great weakness of mind; the opposite
207 VI, 17 | the needy? But it makes a great difference, whether on account
208 VI, 18 | the judgment-seat a very great and impartial Judge, the
209 VI, 18 | injustice often excites great tempests? But if you meet
210 VI, 18 | with oil, it will excite so great a conflagration, that no
211 VI, 18 | only the shedding of blood. Great, therefore, is the advantage
212 VI, 18 | to be regarded as a very great virtue; and that the just
213 VI, 19 | not produced in him with great reason and foresight. They
214 VI, 19 | limits and begin to be too great, they must necessarily pervert
215 VI, 19 | And it is a matter of no great labour to show what these
216 VI, 20 | to mad excitement with as great impetuosity as that with
217 VI, 24 | There is," he says," some great deity, and greater than
218 VI, 24 | by saying that it is too great for the reflecting powers
219 VI, 24 | God, which is truly very great, and which is placed in
220 VI, 25 | Will you think of God as great and placid, and a friend
221 VII, 1 | the entire edifice, with great and strong buildings, almost
222 VII, 1 | the worship of God with great difficulties, which is the
223 VII, 1 | by chance think that such great labours are undertaken in
224 VII, 1 | when he did not see how so great a magnitude of things could
225 VII, 1 | not admit those carrying great burthens. The path is very
226 VII, 1 | are loaded with many and great burthens, proceed along
227 VII, 2 | the works of men. Thus, as great as is the difference between
228 VII, 2 | divine and human works, so great must be the distance between
229 VII, 3 | for the contriving of so great a work; why or for the sake
230 VII, 4 | distinguishing things good and evil. Great, therefore, and right, and
231 VII, 5 | the utmost difficulty and great labours. Therefore, that
232 VII, 7 | assemblage of atoms; since so great a world, so adorned and
233 VII, 8 | plan of the whole of this great mystery, nor had he comprehended
234 VII, 8 | soul, which conceives such great things, and contains such
235 VII, 8 | things, and contains such great things, no origin can be
236 VII, 9 | hastens on to relate the great judgment of God, which will
237 VII, 9 | virtue also to man alone is a great proof that souls are immortal.
238 VII, 11 | monuments of their genius and great deeds, have plainly gained
239 VII, 11 | the soul can do many and great things without the body.
240 VII, 12 | For it could not have such great force, such great skill,
241 VII, 12 | have such great force, such great skill, such great rapidity,
242 VII, 12 | such great skill, such great rapidity, unless it derived
243 VII, 14 | thousand years. For the great day of God is limited by
244 VII, 14 | six days in creating such great works, so His religion and
245 VII, 14 | previous shadowings forth of great things; as this day of ours,
246 VII, 14 | a representation of that great clay to which the circuit
247 VII, 14 | prepared; so now on the great sixth day the true man is
248 VII, 15 | Egypt, had increased into a great nation, and were oppressed
249 VII, 15 | short strengthened by such great resources, shall nevertheless
250 VII, 16 | and stars shall fall in great numbers, so that all the
251 VII, 17 | the times draws nigh, a great prophet shall be sent from
252 VII, 17 | anger, will come with a great army, and bringing up all
253 VII, 17 | and send from heaven a great king to rescue and free
254 VII, 18 | gods shall slay all the great kings andchief men: then
255 VII, 19 | upon the captive world with great armies of robbers; that
256 VII, 19 | robbers; that calamity so great will stand in need of divine
257 VII, 20 | supreme Father shall give the great power both of judging and
258 VII, 20 | now come to mortals, the great judgment shallcome upon
259 VII, 21 | that the power of God is so great, that He perceives even
260 VII, 21 | violence of the flame. So great is the force of innocence,
261 VII, 21 | of the time in which the great Judge shall make an investigation
262 VII, 24 | unrighteousness, and executed His great judgment, and shall have
263 VII, 24 | And then shall God give great joy to men; for the earth,
264 VII, 24 | to adore and honour the great King, whose name shall be
265 VII, 25 | limits of my book receive so great a multitude of subjects,
266 VII, 25 | from various histories, how great is the number of years from
267 VII, 25 | who will trader-take so great a deed, and dig out that
268 VII, 26 | and excessive heat and great burning shall descend upon
269 VII, 26 | since the time when the great God raised thee up for the
270 VII, 26 | but also, which is a very great matter, excel the glory
271 VII, 27 | pernicious sweetness. How great a happiness must it be thought,
