5 I, 6 | divine testimony, both on account of its very great antiquity,
6 I, 6 | slain, and that on this account he fled into Egypt, and

10 I, 8 | powerful kings; and since, on account of the merits of their virtues,
11 I, 9 | enraged with Laomedon on account of the reward refused to
12 I, 10 | his father? Did he not, on account of his impassioned love,
13 I, 10 | excited with jealousy on account of the injury, transfixed
14 I, 11 | which column he wrote an account of his exploits, that posterity
15 I, 11 | things, he gave another account of the matter; how he might
16 I, 12 | male. For it is on this account that they esteem Vesta to
17 I, 14 | person to Saturn, on that account, and because he saw that
18 I, 15 | before Saturn or Uranus, on account of the small number of men
19 I, 15 | called them gods; whether on account of their wonderful excellence,
20 I, 15 | of present power, or on account of the benefits by which
21 I, 15 | their benefits. On this account Hercules, on this Castor
22 I, 15 | readily encounter danger on account of the state, their memory
23 I, 15 | It was doubtless on this account that the Romans consecrated
24 I, 15 | yet these great kings, on account of the celebrity of their
25 I, 15 | down to all nations. On account of this vanity the Sibyl
26 I, 15 | descended from the gods." On account of this regret they more

40 II, 3 | of Socrates, and on that account you do not venture to undertake
41 II, 3 | more glorious to die on account of good words than on account
42 II, 3 | account of good words than on account of revilings. Nor would
43 II, 3 | unable to see at all, on what account, or by whom, and in what
44 II, 4 | be made at all? On which account Priapus thus speaks in Horace:~"
45 II, 4 | he may have despised on account of their smallness. For
46 II, 4 | gods will injure them on account of the guilt of others,
47 II, 4 | Verres was condemned on account of these deeds. Therefore
48 II, 5 | that they are gods on this account, because they have their
49 II, 7 | desire, whatever it is, on account of which thefts and robberies
50 II, 7 | and murders daily rage, on account of which wars overthrow
51 II, 7 | therefore not so much on account of religion, which can have
52 II, 7 | excellence and truth on this account. because the ancients have
53 II, 8 | regarded as unchaste on account of her excess in personal
54 II, 8 | punishment, and that on this account the games ought to be repeated.
55 II, 8 | confine himself to the camp on account of his bodily infirmity.
56 II, 9 | more uncertain than that on account of which the statement was

60 II, 11 | have not given a different account respecting this formation
61 II, 11 | one who was preserved on account of his righteousness? How
62 II, 11 | as they did the former account; since they were ignorant
63 II, 11 | it was that deserved on account of his righteousness to
64 II, 11 | plain, therefore, that the account which they give respecting
65 II, 11 | I now pass over on this account, because I have lately written
66 II, 11 | cease when we die. On which account they would have it that
67 II, 14 | themselves in houses on account of the quality of the atmosphere,
68 II, 15 | admitted into heaven on account of the sins into which they
69 II, 16 | harassers of men, and on this account Trismegistus calls them
70 II, 17 | profess that they are angry on account of some light and trifling
71 II, 17 | guard the dress, and on this account the Roman name was almost
72 III, 1 | ornament of itself, and on this account it is corrupted when embellished
73 III, 1 | worthy of admiration on account of their literary erudition,
74 III, 2 | But it is said it was on account of modesty that they called
75 III, 3 | from without. For on this account the divine intelligence
76 III, 4 | all; which happens on this account, because they have a sword,
77 III, 4 | peculiar knowledge in man on account of the frailty of the human
78 III, 5 | himself a philosopher on account of that very thing for which
79 III, 8 | is to be praised on this account, because it is productive
80 III, 8 | mire. For it is on this account that I contend with my adversary
81 III, 8 | not sought for on its own account. What difference, therefore,
82 III, 10 | no other reason than on account of religion; if religion
83 III, 11 | vices are to be avoided on account of their deformity, virtue
84 III, 11 | therefore to be desired on account of its beauty. What then?
85 III, 12 | AND OF DESIRING VIRTUE ON ACCOUNT OF ETERNAL LIFE. ~But our
86 III, 12 | to be sought on its own account, but on account of a happy
87 III, 12 | its own account, but on account of a happy life, which necessarily
88 III, 12 | undergo any miseries on this account. Since, therefore, this
89 III, 12 | and surpassing good, on account of which we are born. And
90 III, 12 | is set before us on this account, that, lusts having been
91 III, 12 | source. For it is on this account that we alone of living
92 III, 12 | philosophy; and on this account they were unable to find
93 III, 13 | and happy life? Or if any account is taken of consistency
94 III, 13 | of acquiring learning, on account of my desire to teach others,
95 III, 14 | have been praised on this account, because He discovered wisdom,
96 III, 14 | esteemed as a God on this very account, because He found out wisdom.

98 III, 14 | be known, it is on this account that they ought to be known,
99 III, 16 | away wisdom; and on that account was more easily driven from
100 III, 17 | does everything on his own account. To a man who avoids the
101 III, 17 | throws them down on this account, because they are not his.
102 III, 18 | how, and to whom and on account of what actions, and at
103 III, 19 | who has been wretched on account of his righteousness, should
104 III, 20 | judge, by AEsculapius on account of the vow. I should consider
105 III, 21 | most vehemently on this account, and of men, who have always
106 III, 21 | wars with one another on account of this matter.~
107 III, 24 | appearance it must present on account of its immense breadth,
108 III, 25 | learning must be acquired on account of practice in reading,
109 III, 25 | support by labour. And on this account Tully says that philosophy
110 III, 25 | eight sesterces. And on this account Seneca severely rebuked
111 III, 27 | is tortured. If it is on account of the glory of his endurance,
112 III, 27 | the tortures. If it is on account of the recollection of the
113 III, 27 | its own sake, and not on account of any other object. The
114 III, 27 | when he suffers torture on account of his faith, on account
115 III, 27 | account of his faith, on account of justice, or on account
116 III, 27 | account of justice, or on account of God, that endurance of
117 III, 28 | reason by whom and on what account they are thus matched; but
118 III, 28 | consoled any persons on account of the death and removal
119 III, 29 | things unexpected by us, on account of our want of intelligence
120 III, 29 | ignorant of the causes on account of which anything is done,
121 III, 29 | and violence. For on this account he was not at once thrust
122 IV, 1 | but on earth. And on this account assuredly the happiness
123 IV, 1 | and everlasting on this account, because it cannot be seen,
124 IV, 1 | were unable to give any account, they were accustomed to
125 IV, 3 | the gods able to give an account of itself, since it is without
126 IV, 3 | be called Father on this account, because He bestows upon
127 IV, 3 | things; and Lord on this account, because He has the greatest
128 IV, 6 | completed." But on this account Trismegistus spoke of Him
129 IV, 7 | name must be set forth, on account of the error of the ignorant,
130 IV, 7 | them with oil;"~on this account we call Him Christ, that
131 IV, 8 | sound, as the Word, on this account indeed, because He was about
132 IV, 10 | with their neighbours on account of their iniquities, and
133 IV, 11 | life to take it away." On account of these impieties of theirs
134 IV, 12 | great counsel." For on this account He was sent by God the Father,
135 IV, 12 | who rejected Him on this account, because He was born of
136 IV, 12 | God of Israel." Lastly, on account of the goodness and faithfulness
137 IV, 13 | which He endured: on what account He undertook it I will mention
138 IV, 13 | forth from Israel." On which account the Milesian Apollo, being
139 IV, 13 | they saw was God? On this account, David, whom they especially
140 IV, 14 | came to reveal. On which account, because He was so faithful,
141 IV, 15 | those wonderful works, on account of which, though they were
142 IV, 15 | the dumb shall speak."~On account of these powers and divine
143 IV, 16 | and embassy from God, on account of this very virtue which
144 IV, 16 | flocked to Him, either on account of the righteousness which
145 IV, 16 | righteousness which He taught or on account of the miracles which He
146 IV, 16 | are objects of pity." On account of this humility they did
147 IV, 17 | religion consist. On this account, therefore, the rest of
148 IV, 17 | with reverence. On this account God ordered that it should
149 IV, 18 | and was delivered up on account of their transgressions."
150 IV, 26 | to undergo them. Now an account must be taken of the cross
151 V, 1 | conceal poison. And on this account I wished to connect wisdom
152 V, 2 | might be evident on what account he had laboriously worked
153 V, 2 | although they were silent on account of the time, nevertheless
154 V, 3 | with itself; and on this account it effects persuasion, because
155 V, 3 | are wiser than you, who on account of slight wonders believed
156 V, 3 | by us to be God on this account, because He did wonderful
157 V, 4 | an infant is unable, on account of the tenderness of its
158 V, 5 | righteousness; and on this account he is related to have made
159 V, 6 | heaven their own; not on account of kindness, a feeling which
160 V, 7 | away from God? For on this account He permitted the unjust
161 V, 7 | compel to evil; and on this account to be more numerous, that
162 V, 8 | the affairs of men on this account, because God the Maker and
163 V, 9 | slay the righteous, and account the followers of justice
164 V, 9 | is always hateful on this account, because he who sins wishes
165 V, 10 | plainly called pious on this account only, because he loved his
166 V, 10 | And this happens on this account, because when they seem
167 V, 11 | pride themselves on this account, that they were born men,
168 V, 11 | things not only on this account, that they may be able to
169 V, 12 | and in what manner, on account of righteousness; for our
170 V, 13 | the more hate the gods, on account of whom he bears the traces
171 V, 13 | crowd of others are added on account of the wonderful nature
172 V, 15 | JUSTICE.~But the reason on account of which they imagine those
173 V, 16 | returns to heaven. And on this account the true good was not discovered
174 V, 16 | seem to be poor, on this account are rich, because they are
175 V, 17 | these faults, and on this account offers it for sale, will
176 V, 18 | chief good of man, on this account receive the name of folly.
177 V, 18 | regarded as fools. In fine, on account of this very virtue the
178 V, 18 | unable to do; and on this account innocence is reckoned among
179 V, 19 | for it by God. But on this account God willed that virtue itself
180 V, 19 | him obedience, and on this account is considered deserving
181 V, 20 | our religion is on this account firm, and solid, and unchangeable,
182 V, 21 | whom you worship on this account, because you think Him powerful.
183 V, 22 | rage against us on this account, because their gods are
184 V, 22 | come out of the man. On account of these blows and threats,
185 V, 23 | posterity we are; on this account He would have them live
186 V, 24 | wickedly trampled upon. On this account He promises that He will
187 VI, 1 | of life from Him on this account, not that we might behold
188 VI, 2 | small a circle, which on account of its distance appears
189 VI, 2 | the light of the mind, on account of which we are called by
190 VI, 2 | a human one. And on this account they believe that the same
191 VI, 7 | true. Which happens on this account, because that deceitful
192 VI, 7 | west has many paths, on account of the variety of pursuits
193 VI, 8 | but do not find on this account, because they prefer to
194 VI, 9 | be sought for on its own account? Truly they are delighted
195 VI, 9 | are other greater goods on account of which it is worth while
196 VI, 10 | though guilty. On which account God has enjoined that enmities
197 VI, 10 | torture, slay, and banish. On account of this relationship of
198 VI, 10 | collected together on this account, that they might protect
199 VI, 10 | of men has been caused on account of humanity itself, man
200 VI, 11 | to be sought on its own account, then estimate justice,
201 VI, 12 | everlasting mercy belongs, on this account commands that widows and
202 VI, 12 | himself wretched on this account. But we do not speak of
203 VI, 12 | practised, even on this account only, that it appears among
204 VI, 17 | great difference, whether on account of lust you bestow your
205 VI, 17 | money on harlots, or on account of benevolence on the wretched;
206 VI, 19 | desire, and lust. On which account the poets have said that
207 VI, 20 | God gave virtue on this account, that it might subdue and
208 VI, 20 | Wherefore, if any one on account of poverty shall be unable
209 VI, 20 | they were instituted on account of their birthdays, or the
210 VI, 24 | former error; and on this account the Greeks better and more
211 VI, 24 | we shall have to give an account;" and let us reckon that
212 VI, 24 | whom, when He demands an account of our life, it will not
213 VI, 25 | evil has happened to him on account of his faults; and even
214 VII, 1 | we should leave this, on account of which they were undertaken,
215 VII, 3 | Epicurus is ignorant on what account or who made men themselves.
216 VII, 3 | then are not they on whose account it was made eternal? If
217 VII, 3 | eternal? If they are mortal on account of whom it was made, it
218 VII, 3 | such magnitude on His own account, why then were we produced?
219 VII, 4 | WHICH APPEAR EVIL; ON WHAT ACCOUNT MAN ENJOYS REASON IN SO
220 VII, 4 | which was made on its own account; but whatever is made at
221 VII, 4 | bestow his labour on this account, only that the ship may
222 VII, 4 | vessel does not do it on this account, that he may only appear
223 VII, 4 | was made by God, not on account of the world itself; for
224 VII, 4 | He made all things on our account, make so large a quantity
225 VII, 4 | been given to him on this account, that, knowing the nature
226 VII, 4 | he might take fishes on account of his own use, and avoid
227 VII, 4 | were set before him on this account, because he had received
228 VII, 4 | to me, say: "And on this account any one may with good reason
229 VII, 4 | arrange these things on account of Himself, because He stands
230 VII, 4 | need of nothing, but on account of man, who might fitly
231 VII, 5 | heavenly goods. On this account, therefore, God seeks to
232 VII, 6 | worshipped only on this account by men, that they may afford
233 VII, 6 | reason was not established on account of some reason of importance,
234 VII, 6 | men produced, or on what account? Why do they arise, die,
235 VII, 7 | who disagree with them. On account of these most obstinate
236 VII, 11 | insults and injuries on account of righteousness itself,
237 VII, 11 | the body is mortal on this account, because it is equally open
238 VII, 12 | frail and mortal. On this account, therefore, virtue and wisdom
239 VII, 12 | they are immortal on this account, because they often change
240 VII, 16 | blood or bitterness. On account of these things, beasts
241 VII, 18 | also was withdrawn from the account, not without fraud on the
242 VII, 19 | by us in watchfulness on account of the coming of our King
243 VII, 20 | it shall be punished on account of its deserts, it is plain
244 VII, 22 | which they feigned on this account, that no one might make
245 VII, 27 | dread the path of virtue on account of its difficulty. Let the
