  1    I, 1 |         the truth is revealed from heaven to us who have received
  2    I, 2 |         when he raises his eyes to heaven, although he knows not by
  3    I, 5 |        whose account He framed the heaven, and provided for His children
  4    I, 5 |  surpassing greatness which framed heaven and earth. For he could
  5    I, 5 |           he was produced from the heaven; but he did not venture
  6    I, 5 |          not venture to set up the heaven as the primeval god, because
  7    I, 5 |         Spirit:--~"Know first, the heaven, the earth, the main,~The
  8    I, 5 |         tracts of sea and depth of heaven; the flocks, the herds,
  9    I, 5 |          the world, and the God or heaven and of all gods, on whom
 10    I, 6 |          supreme God, who made the heaven, and decked it with lights.~
 11    I, 6 |    pre-eminent power, who made the heaven, and sun, and stars, and
 12    I, 7 |        honour and place himself in heaven. he has confessed, as the
 13    I, 10|      Doubtless he was deserving of heaven, because he taught the exercises
 14    I, 10|         and with her ascended into heaven. What was the conduct of
 15    I, 11|          imagine that he reigns in heaven who ought not even to have
 16    I, 11|     imagine that Jupiter reigns in heaven; both learned and unlearned
 17    I, 11|            raise their eyes to the heaven? Why do they swear by the
 18    I, 11|         living and earthly body in heaven, reject the whole story
 19    I, 11|         lot. For they say that the heaven fell to the share of Jupiter,
 20    I, 11|            obtained the kingdom of heaven, because Olympus is the
 21    I, 11|        both of the mountain and of heaven. But the same history informs
 22    I, 11|         than himself,--namely, the heaven and the earth. But I am

 24    I, 11|          called the son of Coelus (heaven), because we are accustomed
 25    I, 11|          arrived, have fallen from heaven; and that he was called
 26    I, 11|            gave their names to the heaven and earth, whereas these
 27    I, 11|       kings were attributed to the heaven and earth. Therefore it
 28    I, 11|           Saturn was not born from heaven, which is impossible, but
 29    I, 11|            is called the pillar of heaven. Having ascended thither,
 30    I, 11|         that place he looked up to heaven, by which name we now call
 31    I, 11|      firmament, and he gave to the heaven its name from the name of
 32    I, 11|      prayer first gave the name of heaven to that which was called
 33    I, 12|        element which is called the heaven, reject the whole fable
 34    I, 12|     highest and ethereal nature of heaven, that is, of fire, which
 35    I, 13|           himself? Being placed in heaven, why did he not see the
 36    I, 13|           that he led this life in heaven, nor in the latter passage
 37    I, 15| intercourse led to the exalting to heaven by fame and goodwill men
 38    I, 15|       pleasure, raised them to the heaven; as is the case with those
 39    I, 15|            extolled by fame to the heaven, the same honour ought undoubtedly
 40    I, 15|           been regarded as gods of heaven, and those whose services
 41    I, 15|            men have placed them in heaven: Hercules, Liber, Aesculapius,

 43    I, 15|          to have gone from us into heaven. Inquire whose sepulchres

 47    I, 18|     supposed that he ascended into heaven from the funeral pile on
 48    I, 18|          the temple, but even into heaven. In Ennius Africanus thus
 49    I, 18|        above, the greatest gate of heaven is open to me alone." Because,
 50    I, 18|         you imagined the ascent to heaven to be open to men through
 51    I, 18|     himself had been doorkeeper in heaven at the time when this took

 54    I, 18|          living creatures, and the heaven with its stars, for the
 55    I, 20|            he might enjoy the free heaven; but they did not themselves
 56   II, 1 |         short, they should look to heaven, and observe the nature
 57   II, 1 |          that we should look up to heaven, and undoubtedly not without
 58   II, 1 |          the dumb creation see the heaven, but it is given to us in
 59   II, 1 |      peculiar manner to behold the heaven as we stand erect, that
 60   II, 1 |           down their eyes from the heaven, and fix them upon the ground,
 61   II, 2 |         you think that they are in heaven; for if they are gods, the

 69   II, 5 |          so He both bespangled the heaven with wondrous variety, and

 71   II, 6 |            God. But if neither the heaven, nor the earth, nor the
 72   II, 9 |           could he exist while the heaven above was being built, and
 73   II, 10|         first of all, God made the heaven, and suspended it on high,
 74   II, 10|            and placed it under the heaven, as a dwelling-place for
 75   II, 10|            it receives it from the heaven, in which He placed perpetual
 76   II, 10|    immortality, since fire is from heaven; and its nature, inasmuch
 77   II, 10|           cattle do not look up to heaven, nor do they entertain religious
 78   II, 12|          at certain changes of the heaven, and motions of the stars,
 79   II, 13|            that is, as it were, of heaven and earth: since the soul

 82   II, 13|           soul, as the earth is to heaven. For it is, as it were,
 83   II, 13|          the latter, which is from heaven and from God, to command;
 84   II, 13|            it ought to mount up to heaven as fire, that it may not
 85   II, 13|            immortality which is in heaven. And as fire cannot burn
 86   II, 14|            the atmosphere, and the heaven is not overspread with any
 87   II, 14|        world, began to worship the heaven, the sun, the earth, the
 88   II, 15|            not being admitted into heaven on account of the sins into
 89   II, 15|        their fathers were not into heaven. Thus there came to be two
 90   II, 15|            kinds of demons; one of heaven, the other of the earth.
 91   II, 17|          many spirits of angels in heaven, and one Parent and Lord
 92   II, 18|        spirits, will neither enjoy heaven nor the light, which are
 93   II, 19|         let him direct his eyes to heaven: let him not seek God under
 94   II, 19|          which has its origin from heaven, to the shades beneath,
 95   II, 19|           will be judged worthy of heaven whom his Parent will recognise
 96   II, 20|      completed; and the majesty of heaven supplying the power of speaking,
 97  III, 3 |         the stars are fixed to the heaven, or are borne with free
 98  III, 3 |         air; of what magnitude the heaven itself is, of what material
 99  III, 3 |            what is taking place in heaven, but think that they do
100  III, 6 |          which has its origin from heaven; ignorance from the body,
101  III, 8 |        philosophers respecting the heaven? Why should I mention that
102  III, 9 |        that he might look upon the heaven and the sun. This expression
103  III, 9 |         for the sake of seeing the heaven and the sun? Who introduced
104  III, 9 |           vision contribute to the heaven and the nature of things?
105  III, 9 |          great thing to behold the heaven and the sun: why, therefore,
106  III, 9 |      Anaxagoras neither beheld the heaven nor the sun, though he said
107  III, 10|         For if we must look to the heaven, it is undoubtedly for no
108  III, 10|        have nothing to do with the heaven. Therefore we must either
109  III, 10|           therefore look up to the heaven, to which the nature of
110  III, 12|           the contemplation of the heaven and the light itself, that
111  III, 12|         raised to the sight of the heaven, that we may believe that
112  III, 12|            what is the highest but heaven, and God, from whom the
113  III, 17|           that the flame came from heaven, not to destroy that earthly
114  III, 17|       condemned by the judgment of Heaven.~Therefore, when Epicurus
115  III, 17|        since, if there is a God in heaven, He is not angry with any
116  III, 18|            were about to depart to heaven. Thus it was with Cleanthes
117  III, 19|          was open for all into the heaven; for they taught that those
118  III, 20|           For no one descends from heaven to pass sentence on the
119  III, 20|            of excellent works. The heaven is nothing to us, to the
120  III, 20|          of our sustenance is from heaven. But if he perceived this,
121  III, 23|           that he might behold the heaven and the sun, who beheld
122  III, 24|        XXIV. OF THE ANTIPODES, THE HEAVEN, AND THE STARS.~How is it
123  III, 24|        east, but supposed that the heaven itself sloped downwards
124  III, 24|          and they fancied that the heaven revolves in accordance with
125  III, 24|         from this rotundity of the heaven, that the earth was enclosed
126  III, 24|     appearance to all parts of the heaven; that is. that it should
127  III, 24|        into that lower part of the heaven, they reply that such is
128  III, 24|          middle, so as to seek the heaven. I am at a loss what to
129  III, 24|           it is impossible for the heaven to be lower than the earth,
130  III, 27|       herself from the quarters of heaven."~This is the reason why
131  III, 27|         ignorant; nor look towards heaven, as they themselves imagine
132  III, 27|          cause for looking towards heaven, unless it be either to
133  III, 27|         before him, his mind is in heaven; and although he may not
134  III, 27|        earth, for religion is from heaven; and they who think that
135  III, 27|      upright body he looks towards heaven, unless with mind raised
136  III, 28|            things. Or if nature is heaven and earth. and everything
137  III, 28|            a lofty mountain, or in heaven, which is most true. For
138  III, 29|          Fortune, and place you in heaven."~It was folly, therefore,
139  III, 30|         perceive? Lo, a voice from heaven teaching the truth, and
140   IV, 1 |         not seek the chief good in heaven, but on earth. And on this
141   IV, 1 |          their countenances to the heaven; but, their minds being
142   IV, 2 |            drew near, to send from heaven a great leader, who should
143   IV, 4 |      creation of man, finished the heaven and the earth. He alone
144   IV, 6 | uninhabitable boundaries under the heaven. When He prepared the heaven,
145   IV, 6 |       heaven. When He prepared the heaven, I was by Him: and when
146   IV, 6 |   mountains, and placed them under heaven; when He laid the strong
147   IV, 7 |            the angels who dwell in heaven, but to Himself only, and
148   IV, 11|        counsellor, to descend from heaven, that He might transfer
149   IV, 11|         saw, thus speaks: "Hear, O heaven; and give ear, O earth:
150   IV, 11|          be no nation at all under heaven to which the hope of immortality
151   IV, 12|            of God, descending from heaven, chose the holy Virgin,
152   IV, 12|            nations which are under heaven the sacred mystery of the
153   IV, 12|          coming with the clouds of heaven, and He came even to the
154   IV, 12|          coming with the clouds of heaven. He did not say, like the
155   IV, 13|            His religion, sent from heaven a teacher of righteousness,
156   IV, 15|   purifying dew. Then a voice from heaven was heard: " Thou art my
157   IV, 16|            venerable and worthy of heaven; but it is virtue alone,
158   IV, 16|          the instructors sent from heaven, and of the prophets, they
159   IV, 16|          was about to descend from heaven, but on the other hand saw
160   IV, 17|     unclean, and never looks up to heaven, but prostrates itself to
161   IV, 21|            and carried Him up into heaven, on the fortieth day after
162   IV, 21|            came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient
163   IV, 23|            to accomplish. Would to heaven that there were as many
164   IV, 24|        whether a teacher sent from heaven can fail to be perfect.
165   IV, 24|           one were to be sent from heaven to instruct the life of
166   IV, 24|          teacher, who is sent from heaven, would be as perfect in
167   IV, 24|        perfect. But a teacher from heaven, to whom His divine nature
168   IV, 26|        depressing their souls from heaven to earth, run into the snares
169   IV, 28|         from men and received into heaven, they called superstitious.
170   IV, 30|            and that the Majesty of heaven could not be reduced to
171    V, 5 |         the earth, and withdrew to heaven; and that they may teach
172    V, 5 |    Saturnus had been banished from heaven, and had arrived in Latium,--~"
173    V, 5 |      Jupiter, and in a part of the heaven."~For how could she settle
174    V, 6 |         might make the bounties of heaven their own; not on account
175    V, 6 |          who sung that she fled to heaven, to the kingdom of Jupiter.
176    V, 8 |        wish that she may fall from heaven, as it were, represented
177    V, 9 |       punishment; who grasp at the heaven itself by sorceries, as
178    V, 13|           when peace is given from heaven, those who were estranged
179    V, 14|      forbid me to raise my eyes to heaven? Who can impose upon me
180    V, 16|          justice itself returns to heaven. And on this account the
181    V, 16|          evil are esteemed good in heaven."~

186    V, 19|          object than God, who made heaven and earth, who fashioned
187    V, 20|           on earth, which looks to heaven with its condition secured.

189    V, 23|          the living God, who is in heaven: many understand that this
190   VI, 1 |           that we might behold the heaven and the sun, as Anaxagoras
191   VI, 1 |           who made the sun and the heaven. But although in the preceding

193   VI, 1 |         the soul is concerned with heaven, the body with the earth.
194   VI, 1 |            life and light are from heaven; and they who are without
195   VI, 2 |           appeasing the majesty of heaven, but of a pure mind and
196   VI, 2 |          which has its origin from heaven; this is true worship, in
197   VI, 3 |     VIRTUES; AND OF THE REWARDS OF HEAVEN AND THE PUNISHMENTS OF HELL.~
198   VI, 3 |    proceed--the one which leads to heaven, the other which sinks to
199   VI, 3 |        that the two ways belong to heaven and hell, because immortality
200   VI, 3 |         these ways either exalt to heaven or thrust down to hell,

202   VI, 8 |         they observe some light of heaven, they wander with uncertain
203   VI, 8 |           to the earth, but to the heaven: and, to speak more plainly,
204   VI, 8 |           direct your eyes towards heaven, and observe the sun, where
205   VI, 18|          wisdom has been sent from heaven, practise those things which
206   VI, 20|            of man to look upon the heaven rather than carved works,
207   VI, 20|         urged us to look up to the heaven, nevertheless they do not
208  VII, 1 |            but by instruction from heaven, we will carefully teach
209  VII, 1 |            they able to look up to heaven, since their mind is bent
210  VII, 1 |         which justice leads man to heaven; no one can keep this unless
211  VII, 3 |           since the framing of the heaven, and the course of the stars
212  VII, 4 |            soul and body, that is, heaven and earth, that which is
213  VII, 4 |            the system? this is the heaven, who looks up to it? this
214  VII, 5 |          eyes are directed towards heaven, his face looking towards
215  VII, 5 |         Therefore He placed in the heaven lights, whose regularity,
216  VII, 5 |         immortality, which is from heaven; but man is upright and
217  VII, 5 |          upright and looks towards heaven, because immortality is

219  VII, 5 |           soul, because it is from heaven, is unsubstantial, everlasting,
220  VII, 8 |            prison, it flies to the heaven, and to its own nature.
221  VII, 9 |           have no intercourse with heaven, fail to understand that
222  VII, 9 |         the one is assigned to the heaven, the other to the earth,
223  VII, 12|            derived its origin from heaven. The body, therefore, since

225  VII, 14|         they deserve the reward of heaven, but the punishment of hell,
226  VII, 16|        Wonderful prodigies also in heaven shall confound the minds
227  VII, 16|           numbers, so that all the heaven will appear dark without
228  VII, 16|        trumpet shall be heard from heaven, which the Sibyl foretells
229  VII, 16|        manner:--~"The trumpet from heaven shall utter its wailing

232  VII, 17|     command fire to come down from heaven, and the sun to stand and
233  VII, 17|             and implore the aid of heaven; and God shall hear them,
234  VII, 17|           hear them, and send from heaven a great king to rescue and
235  VII, 18|       stretch forth their hands to heaven with weeping and mourning,
