  9  III, 9 |           to maintain and preserve justice by good works. But he, as
 10  III, 9 |            is humanity itself, but justice? what is justice, but piety?
 11  III, 9 |       itself, but justice? what is justice, but piety? And piety is
 12  III, 12|           the knowledge of God and justice. And how true and right
 13  III, 13|       prepare us for the duties of justice, nor strengthen the obligations

 15  III, 18|          trained them to live with justice. For it appears to me that
 16  III, 21|         hearers in the precepts of justice. Therefore, under the teaching
 17  III, 21|           Plato, that the force of justice consists in equality, since
 18  III, 21|            equal, as the method of justice requires, they must possess

 32    V, 5 |    promised disputation concerning justice must be given; which is
 33    V, 5 |       clearly understood that this justice was absent from the affairs
 34    V, 5 |            they repeat examples of justice from the times of Saturnus,
 35    V, 5 |          unsheathed. For who, when justice was present and in vigour,
 36    V, 6 |            AFTER THE BANISHMENT OF JUSTICE, LUST, UNJUST LAWS, DARING,
 37    V, 6 |           also, tinder the name of justice, passed most unequal and
 38    V, 6 |            was in them no trace of justice, the offices of which are

 40    V, 6 |          of the preceding age; but justice being banished, and drawing
 41    V, 6 |         kingdom of Jupiter. For if justice was on the earth in the
 42    V, 6 |           age and the expulsion of justice is to be deemed nothing
 43    V, 6 |           to a king. This truly is justice, and this is, the golden

 45    V, 7 |          golden time returned, and justice was restored to the earth,
 46    V, 7 |        assigned to a few; and this justice is nothing else than the
 47    V, 7 |            to ask, why, if this be justice, it is not given to all
 48    V, 7 |       retained by God when He gave justice to the earth; and this I

 51    V, 8 |          that no one is just, have justice before their eyes, but are
 52    V, 8 |           you depict to yourselves justice as worthless, and wish that
 53    V, 8 |          Be just and good, and the justice which you seek will follow
 54    V, 8 |         true God. But you long for justice on the earth, while the
 55    V, 8 |          instruct them to works of justice. But now men are wicked
 56    V, 9 |          ages, and conjecture that justice is absent because of their
 57    V, 9 |          she whom we follow is not justice: how will they receive her
 58    V, 9 |        they imagine to be the true justice, if she shall have come,
 59    V, 9 |         deserve to be unvisited by justice, who had no other reason
 60    V, 9 |           account the followers of justice themselves as enemies, yea,
 61    V, 9 |         venture to make mention of justice, men who surpass wild beasts
 62    V, 9 |            sacred and holy name of justice with that mouth which, like
 63    V, 9 |            what place is there for justice? And I have collected a

 67    V, 12|         those who give the name of justice to the tortures inflicted
 68    V, 12|           affairs and of truth? Is justice so hateful to you, O abandoned
 69    V, 12|          is held by Furius against justice: "I ask," he says, "if there
 70    V, 12|            integrity, the greatest justice, and remarkable faith, and
 71    V, 12|         who was contending against justice, thought this, that the
 72    V, 12|            that they fear lest, as justice grows strong from day to
 73    V, 14|          turn aside from faith and justice; who do not tremble at the
 74    V, 15|         WISDOM, PIETY, EQUITY, AND JUSTICE.~But the reason on account
 75    V, 15|            recognise their errors. Justice by its own nature has a
 76    V, 15|        copiously on the subject of justice, in the hearing of Galba
 77    V, 15|          effect, and took away the justice which he had praised on
 78    V, 15|           that discussion in which justice is overthrown. I believe,
 79    V, 15|            Plato, the advocates of justice, in that first disputation
 80    V, 15|          were alleged in behalf of justice, that he might be able to
 81    V, 15|          it was very easy to shake justice, having no roots, inasmuch
 82    V, 15|      philosophers were ignorant of justice, and were unable to defend
 83    V, 15|        were unacquainted. Although justice embraces all the virtues
 84    V, 15|            men who are ignorant of justice, as they have always existed;
 85    V, 15|        were accustomed to glory in justice, used evidently to glory
 86    V, 15|        have said) may proceed from justice, and be separated from the
 87    V, 15|         two fountains the whole of justice is contained; but its source
 88    V, 15|       plain that he is ignorant of justice who does not possess the
 89    V, 15|           God. For how can he know justice itself, who is ignorant
 90    V, 15|            complete the defence of justice, he ought first of all to
 91    V, 15|           had begun to defend true justice, and to serve the only God.
 92    V, 15|        only God. The other part of justice, therefore, is equity; and
 93    V, 15|         God, but he who is without justice; no one is rich, but he
 94    V, 15|           the Greeks could possess justice, because they had men differing
 95    V, 15|      inequality of itself excludes justice, the whole force of which
 96    V, 16|       since those two fountains of justice are changed, all virtue
 97    V, 16|          truth are taken away, and justice itself returns to heaven.
 98    V, 16|            employ them on works of justice; and they who seem to be
 99    V, 16|          proportion to his greater justice. For if it is justice for
100    V, 16|      greater justice. For if it is justice for a man to put himself
101    V, 17|        either to find or to defend justice. Now I return to that which
102    V, 17|        therefore that there was no justice, or if any did exist, it
103    V, 17|          he said: "Certainly it is justice not to put a man to death,
104    V, 17|     therefore, he had thus divided justice into two parts, saying that
105    V, 17|            part is wisdom, but not justice; but the natural part is
106    V, 17|            but the natural part is justice, but not wisdom. These arguments
107    V, 17|          and speaking in behalf of justice, he passed them by as a
108    V, 17|           to have defended natural justice, which bad fallen under
109    V, 17|           of folly, but that civil justice which Furius had admitted
110    V, 18|                          XVIII. OF JUSTICE, WISDOM, AND FOLLY,~With
111    V, 18|       discussion, I have shown how justice bears the resemblance of
112    V, 18|          why God wished to enclose justice under the appearance of
113    V, 18|            be the advocate of true justice, because he did not possess
114    V, 18|         the source and fountain of justice. But this defence is easier
115    V, 18|          the bounty of Heaven this justice is familiar and well known,
116    V, 18|           an honest will to defend justice, and would have effected
117    V, 18|          God. For they represented justice in words, and pictured it
118    V, 18|   understood what is the nature of justice, except that he did not
119    V, 18|            see, therefore, whether justice has any agreement with folly.
120    V, 18|          speech is his--think that justice is so useless, so superfluous,
121    V, 18|          how great is the force of justice. For when they discuss the
122    V, 18|          meanwhile let us speak of justice, as we began, the power
123    V, 18|         another to death. Nor will justice, which is the chief good
124    V, 19|            depart from the rule of justice. But if there remains to
125    V, 19|  immortality. The same defender of justice, Laelius, says in Cicero: "
126    V, 20|         against every principle of justice, are tortured, or rather,
127    V, 20|           united with violence, or justice with cruelty. But with good
128    V, 20|   unchangeable, because it teaches justice, because it is always with
129    V, 20|      hostile to sins, who requires justice, who demands fidelity. What
130    V, 23|                      XXIII. OF THE JUSTICE AND PATIENCE OF THE CHRISTIANS.~
131   VI, 1 |      religion. But men, neglecting justice, though they are polluted
132   VI, 4 |     failing. In this he has placed justice, temperance, patience, faith,
133   VI, 6 |     another is taken away; lastly, justice itself is taken away, which
134   VI, 6 |          liberality, kindness, and justice are entirely taken away."
135   VI, 6 |            accommodated neither to justice nor to true virtue, but
136   VI, 6 | institutions; and that this is not justice the matter itself declares,
137   VI, 6 |            of true law and genuine justice, we have nothing but delineations
138   VI, 6 |           which they thought to be justice. But what of wisdom? does
139   VI, 6 |      called just, is an example of justice sought from these as from
140   VI, 6 |          their own confession, and justice is taken away from those
141   VI, 7 |         likeness and appearance of justice. For how could the forerunner
142   VI, 7 |            wisdom, and virtue, and justice, of all which there is but
143   VI, 9 |           shall wish to follow the justice of God, yet, being ignorant
144   VI, 9 |            his own country as true justice, though they were clearly
145   VI, 9 |        were clearly devised not by justice, but by utility. For why
146   VI, 9 |       greatly utility differs from justice the Roman people themselves
147   VI, 9 |          according to customs; but justice is another thing, which
148   VI, 9 |           must also be ignorant of justice. But let us suppose it possible
149   VI, 9 |      laboured in vain. For all his justice will resemble a human body
150   VI, 9 |           because virtue, that is, justice, is followed by poverty.
151   VI, 10|          ever, the first office of justice is to be united with God,
152   VI, 10|           mutual bond of speech or justice, but had leaves and grass
153   VI, 11|      safety, rather than to follow justice. And when he perceived that
154   VI, 11|           you have erred from true justice; and you have taken it away
155   VI, 11|         For that will be done with justice, piety, and humanity, which
156   VI, 11|           is that true and genuine justice, of which you say that you
157   VI, 11|          the author and teacher of justice, whosoever shall not be
158   VI, 11|         own account, then estimate justice, which is the mother and
159   VI, 11|           outlines and sketches of justice, and hold fast justice itself,
160   VI, 11|          of justice, and hold fast justice itself, true and fashioned
161   VI, 11|       weaken and destroy. But this justice of which we speak, and mercy,
162   VI, 12|        MERCY.~This is that perfect justice which protects human society,
163   VI, 12|       immediate enjoyment, but for justice, which alone does not perish.
164   VI, 12|            turn it aside from true justice, and forcibly apply it to
165   VI, 12|         Therefore the principle of justice is employed about those
166   VI, 12|      through his ignorance of true justice he knowingly and with foresight
167   VI, 12|    precepts with reference to true justice, which he does not hold,
168   VI, 12|            a sketch and outline of justice. Therefore we must pardon
169   VI, 12|        great and noble exercise of justice, of which the same Tullius
170   VI, 12|            do it by kindness only. Justice therefore exists there,
171   VI, 12|          very far removed from all justice. Therefore they are not
172   VI, 12|            it less a great work of justice to protect and defend orphans
173   VI, 12|      undergoing death in behalf of justice and faith, but should encounter
174   VI, 12|       those teachers of virtue and justice have not touched upon at
175   VI, 12|            what does the nature of justice more consist than in our
176   VI, 12|       never be poor. If you esteem justice so highly, lay aside the
177   VI, 12|       great works alone, cultivate justice with all your power, in
178   VI, 13|        then more bound to exercise justice when he is become just,
179   VI, 13|           thoughts. By these steps justice advances to the greatest
180   VI, 13|           to lay out his riches on justice alone; for assuredly he
181   VI, 13|        clothed with the garment of justice and piety, of which no one
182   VI, 17|           he who desires to obtain justice, God, perpetual life, everlasting
183   VI, 17|          may preserve kindness and justice, it is not a virtue to be
184   VI, 17|           it up in the treasury of justice. As, therefore, it is a
185   VI, 17|          God, and in opposition to justice, we should be deterred by
186   VI, 18|     admonishes us that the doer of justice ought not to be boastful,
187   VI, 18|           follows. In this path of justice and all the virtues there
188   VI, 18|            with advantage and with justice. Therefore patience is to
189   VI, 19|        discipline to integrity and justice: for if this time of life
190   VI, 19|            have arisen contrary to justice. They use desire for the
191   VI, 20|      strive to keep to the path of justice should be companions and
192   VI, 20|      warfare, since his warfare is justice itself, nor to accuse any
193   VI, 21|          to be done with piety and justice; let nothing be agreeable
194   VI, 22|            virtue, and to shut out justice from men. With these soothing
195   VI, 24|           if indeed they live with justice and piety. He might have
196   VI, 25|       which consists of virtue and justice. But in what manner God
197   VI, 25|          manner God deals with the justice of man is easily understood.
198   VI, 25|            are not born except for justice, both the ancient philosophers
199   VI, 25|     understood that we are born to justice." We ought therefore to
200   VI, 25|           He thus spoke concerning justice: "Adore and worship this
201   VI, 25|           obedience, and devotion, justice is complete and perfect;
202  VII, 1 |            to defend that heavenly justice? Of what avail to hold the
203  VII, 1 |            is very narrow by which justice leads man to heaven; no
204  VII, 1 |       precepts which God gives for justice, and the things which we
205  VII, 1 |           be enemies of virtue and justice. I will now come to the
206  VII, 15|         calumnies and in want. All justice will be confounded, and
207  VII, 21|          burnt: but they whom full justice and maturity of virtue has
208  VII, 26|        restoration of the house of justice, and for the protection
