  1    I, pref|             to err in search of the light of wisdom, and to wander
  2    I, 1   |            precipice; who leave the light, that, blind and enfeebled,
  3    I, 3   |          the human breast admit the light of so great understanding,
  4    I, 4   |          whose sins were brought to light and forbidden, most cruelly
  5    I, 7   |       harmony of the world, bearing light, all-wise demon."~What therefore
  6    I, 11  |             Saturn, and enjoyed the light sooner than Jupiter? I see
  7    I, 11  |             of the east, from which light is given to mortals, seems
  8    I, 12  |            Since we have brought to light the mysteries of the poets,
  9    I, 15  |         forth within the regions of light. O father, O sire, O race,
 10    I, 18  |            he contrive and bring to light the herbs themselves, and
 11    I, 21  |       ridicule should be brought to light. It is true the poets invented
 12   II, 1   |        these things, and brought to light the impious vanity of men,
 13   II, 1   |            lest they should see the light,--lest, in short, they should
 14   II, 3   |           meantime, let us bring to light false things, as we have
 15   II, 5   |           most bright and matchless light for the affairs of men,
 16   II, 5   |           be mutual interchanges of light and darkness, by which alternate
 17   II, 5   |              Doubtless lest, as the light of the sun was withdrawn,
 18   II, 5   |     Heordered them to give a bright light to the frosty night." But
 19   II, 5   |          since they differ from the light of the stars inmagnitude
 20   II, 8   |     incapable of diminution, as the light and brilliancy of the sun;
 21   II, 8   |          because, as the sun is the light of the eyes, so is wisdom
 22   II, 8   |          the eyes, so is wisdom the light of man's heart. Wherefore,
 23   II, 9   |     understood; and I will bring to light all these deceptions of
 24   II, 9   |         evils;" and having received light, may perceive his own errors
 25   II, 10  |        itself the earth contains no light, unless it receives it from
 26   II, 10  |           which He placed perpetual light, and the gods above, and
 27   II, 10  |          Himself is the fountain of light, and the enlightener, of
 28   II, 10  |             because it conceals the light, because it always brings
 29   II, 10  |        perish in their sins. For as light belongs to the east, and
 30   II, 10  |            of life depends upon the light, so darkness belongs to
 31   II, 10  |           as darkness is opposed to light, so is cold to heat. As,
 32   II, 10  |       therefore, heat is nearest to light, so is the south to the
 33   II, 10  |             yet, since it is a true light, and of perfect fulness,
 34   II, 12  |           ancient error and of true light.~
 35   II, 13  |          world itself was made from light and darkness, from life
 36   II, 13  |              and lives in perpetual light; if, on the other hand,
 37   II, 17  |            angry on account of some light and trifling cause; as Juno
 38   II, 18  |        neither enjoy heaven nor the light, which are God's; but will
 39   II, 18  |           can neither give life nor light to any one, for they are
 40  III, 1   |           confuse rather than throw light upon it--I could wish that
 41  III, 1   |          the human race a brilliant light. And I could wish that this
 42  III, 1   |            fountain, but by its own light? Nor, if there have been
 43  III, 2   |             truth may be brought to light and become manifest. Let

 46  III, 14  |             engaged in the clearest light. But how you confessed the
 47  III, 15  |             regard them in no other light than as physicians, whose
 48  III, 16  |       practice of speaking, in what light ought they to be regarded
 49  III, 17  |            of man, and quenched the light of all, as the ethereal
 50  III, 18  |           with your eyes the bright light, are nevertheless blind

 52  III, 20  |           been raised; in fine, the light itself can have no reference
 53  III, 23  |             to hold forth to them a light by night, as this does to
 54  III, 24  |           that the bodies which are light, as mist, smoke, and fire,
 55  III, 25  |           minds the true and divine light? But if the nature of man

 59   IV, 1   |          occupied with the clearest light, was overspread with gloom
 60   IV, 5   |           made clear and brought to light, and that many may be freed
 61   IV, 8   |             creatures: I caused the light that faileth not to arise
 62   IV, 9   |          that we may hold forth the light of understanding to those
 63   IV, 11  |             them before the morning light; but ye did not hearken,
 64   IV, 19  |           sun suddenly withdrew its light, and there was darkness
 65   IV, 19  |            on the third day, before light, there was an earthquake,

 67   IV, 20  |          covenant of my race, for a light of the Gentiles to open
 68   IV, 20  |           and brought us out to the light of wisdom, He admitted us
 69   IV, 26  |         eyes of the blind, and gave light to those who did not see;
 70   IV, 26  |             of the foolish with the light of wisdom, and open the
 71   IV, 26  |           the knowledge of the true light, might arrive at the rewards
 72   IV, 27  |       dispelled, and brought to the light of truth. For if any one
 73   IV, 29  |           is in the stream, and the light of the sun is in the ray:
 74   IV, 29  |      greatest temple, He the way of light, He the guide to salvation,
 75   IV, 30  |        which he may enjoy perpetual light. Before all things, it is
 76    V, 1   |           that they may not see the light which we present to them.
 77    V, 1   |            devious path to life and light, since they themselves oppose
 78    V, 1   |           that it is engaged in the light of truth, which is the food
 79    V, 2   |            those who do not see the light of wisdom, not only that

 81    V, 9   |           speak of things which are light and usually practised by
 82    V, 11  |         fury, what madness, to deny light to the living, earth to
 83    V, 13  |       malice of those is brought to light, who think that they have

 90   VI, 2   |   overspread your dimmed eyes, what light, I pray, what brightness,
 91   VI, 2   |             so attempered this very light, that it might neither injure
 92   VI, 2   |            senses, who presents the light of candles and torches as

 97   VI, 2   |            earth there is need of a light, because its system and

102   VI, 8   |            unless they observe some light of heaven, they wander with
