  1    I, pref|            the method of human and divine things, than to be entirely
  2    I, pref|            was impossible that the divine method of procedure should
  3    I, 1   |            to discuss religion and divine things. For if some of the
  4    I, 1   |           to that pious, true, and divine wisdom, in which all things
  5    I, 1   |           follow up in writing the divine Institutions, in which we
  6    I, 1   |            defend His religion and divine worship, to whom can I rather
  7    I, 2   |     neither have been made without divine intelligence, nor continue
  8    I, 2   |        respecting the skill of the divine providence, let us for the
  9    I, 3   |        that this highest power and divine energy is altogether incapable
 10    I, 3   |       eternal, it follows that the divine power is incapable of division.
 11    I, 3   |         the might and power of the divine majesty, if he thinks that
 12    I, 3   |           is the immensity of that divine work, when before it was
 13    I, 3   |       testimonies the unity of the divine power.~
 14    I, 4   |          that those voices are not divine, but human. Forsooth, because
 15    I, 5   |            blind as not to see the divine brightness presenting itself
 16    I, 5   |         wrote of human rather than divine things. Hesiod was able,
 17    I, 5   |         natural power endowed with divine reason, and sometimes as
 18    I, 5   |         reason, and sometimes as a divine necessity. Zeno also speaks
 19    I, 5   |            also speaks of Him as a divine and natural law. The opinion
 20    I, 5   |            a fatal necessity, or a divine law, or if you term it anything
 21    I, 6   |                             VI. OF DIVINE TESTIMONIES, AND OF THE
 22    I, 6   |    PREDICTIONS.~Now let us pass to divine testimonies; but I will
 23    I, 6   |      forward one which resembles a divine testimony, both on account
 24    I, 6   |       relating to the knowledge of divine things, in which be asserts
 25    I, 6   |          in those books respecting divine subjects which he addressed
 26    I, 7   |            indeed, whom they think divine above all others, and especially
 27    I, 8   |            anything of majesty and divine influence; since the Erythraean
 28    I, 9   |      worthy of being attributed to divine excellence. For what! is
 29    I, 9   |            measure them not by the divine power of which they are
 30    I, 10  |        What other action worthy of divine honours, except the healing
 31    I, 11  |      Jupiter so to do? And yet the divine government is always unchangeable;
 32    I, 11  |           accord. But if he is not divine, he is not indeed a god;
 33    I, 11  |            name does not express a divine, but human power? For Cicero
 34    I, 11  |         has no apprehension of the divine benefits who thinks that
 35    I, 12  |         Saturn himself not only of divine, but also of human intelligence,
 36    I, 13  |            if he had possessed any divine knowledge, he ought not
 37    I, 15  |           appear to be born from a divine origin, they paid divine
 38    I, 15  |           divine origin, they paid divine honours to their parents,
 39    I, 18  |           strength of body to be a divine or even a human good, when
 40    I, 20  |         Romulus, was invested with divine honours. And I could endure
 41    I, 21  |           had been determined that divine honours should be paid to
 42    I, 22  |        regret for her, he paid her divine honours. For this reason
 43    I, 22  |         that he might both acquire divine honour for himself, and
 44    I, 22  |      afterwards ventured to assume divine honours to himself.~
 45   II, 1   |        arose from ignorance of the divine name. But since we often
 46   II, 1   |           they ought to honour His divine beneficence. But if any
 47   II, 1   |           to God alone, and by His divine and matchless name alone
 48   II, 2   |       absent,--for, since they are divine, they see and hear all things,
 49   II, 3   |            imagine that they could divine, so that they might find
 50   II, 3   |     depressed, which partakes of a divine mystery and a heavenly secret.
 51   II, 3   |           the truth is the part of divine wisdom. But man by himself
 52   II, 4   |                Written law and the divine law of the conscience, and
 53   II, 5   |            things, in obedience to divine laws, by a perpetual necessity
 54   II, 5   |       being ungrateful towards the divine bounty, so that they preferred
 55   II, 5   |       courses in the heaven with a divine and wonderful order, to
 56   II, 5   |          not see this skill of the divine power in contriving the
 57   II, 5   |         own accord, and not by the divine intelligence. But who does
 58   II, 9   |        whom the disposition of the divine origin did not remain. Therefore
 59   II, 9   |           things arose was made by divine providence, but that it
 60   II, 9   |         also uses the wax; so that divine providence ought to have
 61   II, 9   |            was a maintainer of the divine providence, and who used
 62   II, 9   |           respect, then, will that divine power differ from man, if
 63   II, 9   |     statuary also the wax; so that divine providence ought to have
 64   II, 9   |         that the world was made by divine providence (not to mention
 65   II, 9   |          the world was not made by divine providence, because its

 69   II, 9   |      itself was not established by divine providence, and yet in making
 70   II, 10  |        Maker, let us return to the divine workmanship of the world,
 71   II, 11  |        attributed so wonderful and divine a work to man. For what
 72   II, 11  |         only, by which he obtained divine honours, together with all
 73   II, 11  |           to man, who imitated the divine work. But the making of
 74   II, 11  |            deny the existence of a divine providence. For the Stoics
 75   II, 11  |            formation of animals to divine skill. But Aristotle freed
 76   II, 11  |            reserved by the will of divine providence, as it cannot
 77   II, 12  |            SPONTANEOUSLY, BUT BY A DIVINE ARRANGEMENT, OF WHICH GOD
 78   II, 12  |        their motions; nor did that divine government, which manages
 79   II, 12  |      provided these things by some divine counsel. But who is able
 80   II, 12  |          and attributes nothing to divine providence, he assuredly
 81   II, 12  |           is plain that there is a divine providence, to which that
 82   II, 12  |          however, there is need of divine testimony, lest that of
 83   II, 14  |       descendants ignorance of the divine nature. From this nation
 84   II, 17  |       knows all things, from whose divine eyes nothing is concealed,
 85   II, 17  |           images a belief in their divine power and influence. Hence
 86   II, 18  |        flight by adjuration of the divine name. But if it appears
 87   II, 19  |            if religion consists of divine things, and there is nothing
 88   II, 19  |       things, and there is nothing divine except in heavenly things;

 95  III, 13  |            for, being destitute of divine knowledge, they neither
 96  III, 13  |            speaking are contained. Divine learning does not stand

106  III, 26  |            is accomplished only by divine instruction; for that only
107  III, 26  |           So great is the power of divine wisdom, that, when infused
108  III, 27  |           a greater, that is, that divine authority. No one therefore
109  III, 28  |           nothing was completed by divine intelligence, said that
110  III, 28  |             For nature, apart from divine providence and power, is
111  III, 28  |        there must necessarily be a divine mind, which by its foresight

150    V, 6   |          imitation, they abandoned divine right, and the practice
151    V, 6   |           than the laying aside of divine religion, which alone effects
152    V, 7   |         preserves the mystery of a divine religion.~
153    V, 8   |      sacred and inviolable bond of divine relationship, there would

156    V, 13  |            is right. But since the divine law has been received from
157    V, 14  |          neither hear nor perceive divine things, but fear and adore
158    V, 15  |            to confirm this both by divine and human testimonies. But

172   VI, 1   |          from the understanding of divine things. The same blindness
173   VI, 5   |            may appear how much the divine condescension has bestowed
174   VI, 6   |            always the enemy of the divine name, of whom we have often
175   VI, 8   |            described almost with a divine voice; whose words have
176   VI, 8   |           force and purport of the divine law, he would not have discharged
177   VI, 9   |         yet, being ignorant of the divine law, he embraces the laws
178   VI, 9   |          imprints on his heart the divine words and life-giving precepts;
179   VI, 9   |           unworthy of enjoying the divine gifts? For, that we may
180   VI, 12  |     assistance; and therefore that divine law prescribes this to all,
181   VI, 12  |       whole human race, and by the divine expressions which command
182   VI, 17  |            if they are referred to divine things. On the other hand,
183   VI, 18  |            a desire of obeying the divine commands, as of pleasing
184   VI, 18  |    recompense of that heavenly and divine reward. The other things
185   VI, 20  |      nothing is so hostile to this divine benefit and gift as pleasure.
186   VI, 21  |      wished those things which are divine to be without adornment,
187   VI, 24  |          removed by walls, but the divine power of God cannot be removed
188   VI, 24  |         God has given nothing more divine to man." Likewise, in speaking
189   VI, 24  |            Cicero, illustrious and divine, which always commands things
190   VI, 25  |       Himself has demanded in that divine law of His? There are two

192   VI, 25  |       incense and other odours for divine sacrifice: were offered
193  VII, 1   |        greatest virtue, unless the divine reward of everlasting blessedness

195  VII, 2   |          man is able to understand divine things, he will be able
196  VII, 2   |          from the immensity of the divine actions and works. For if
197  VII, 2   |          is the difference between divine and human works, so great
198  VII, 2   |            of which belongs to the divine nature. For His works are
199  VII, 2   |   unsupported by any utterances of divine voices.~
200  VII, 3   |             inasmuch as God is the divine and l eternal mind, separate
201  VII, 3   |        made and is governed by the divine providence? For if He made
202  VII, 3   |      plough without lacerating the divine body? So that we are at
203  VII, 3   |         man? Unless by chance that divine intelligence which is mixed
204  VII, 3   |        have not perceived that the divine spirit is everywhere diffused,
205  VII, 4   |         good reason think that the divine providence gave the place
206  VII, 5   |           as it was given to us by divine necessity, so it will again
207  VII, 5   |         will again be destroyed by divine necessity. Thus that which
208  VII, 5   |            received an increase of divine vigour, becomes a perfect
209  VII, 5   |            earth, that he may have divine and heavenly consolation.
210  VII, 7   |         not defend those things by divine testimonies, yet the truth
211  VII, 7   |            s creation belongs to a divine mystery; and because he
212  VII, 8   |      surmise, but have known it by divine instruction. Now Plato thus
213  VII, 8   |   creatures do not possess, appear divine and heavenly; because of
214  VII, 9   |            animals is heavenly and divine, whose body raised from
215  VII, 11  |           in which it receives the divine and unspeakable fruits of
216  VII, 12  |       flourishes always, since the divine spirit is everlasting. In
217  VII, 12  |          the past, not about to be divine on any other condition than
218  VII, 13  |      between that nature which was divine and immortal, and that which
219  VII, 14  |          any one shall examine the divine writings he will ascertain.
220  VII, 16  |          rule; shall mingle things divine and human; shall contrive
221  VII, 19  |        great will stand in need of divine assistance. Therefore God,
222  VII, 21  |            some material. But that divine fire always lives by itself,
223  VII, 21  |       tremulous movement. The same divine fire, therefore, with one
224  VII, 22  |      ignorant of the secret of the divine mystery, and mention of
225  VII, 22  |     destiny have rolled,~The voice divine from far and wide~Calls
226  VII, 22  |        that souls are immortal and divine, because in boys minds are
227  VII, 23  |            us return from human to divine things. The Sibyl thus speaks:--~"
228  VII, 23  |         reason can be assigned for divine works; but if from the beginning
229  VII, 24  |           before their eyes by the divine Spirit, and they saw these
230  VII, 26  |        continue in the love of the divine name. For this is serviceable
231  VII, 27  |   punishment, nor virtue without a divine reward. All, therefore,
232  VII, 27  |     ever-flowing fountain. By this divine food and drink the blind
