  1    I, pref|            more excellent, since to speak well belongs only to a few,
  2    I, 1   | Institutions, in which we shall not speak about rain-droppings, or
  3    I, 1   |             of claims, but we shall speak of hope, of life, of salvation,
  4    I, 2   |          because it is necessary to speak, in different places throughout
  5    I, 4   |             the future, but even to speak coherently? Were they, therefore,
  6    I, 4   |            inclination to feign and speak falsely belongs to those

  8    I, 6   |          Babylon. But we also shall speak of the Sibyl without any
  9    I, 7   |            delights them, we do not speak of twelve, or three hundred
 10    I, 7   |             the scourge of God."~We speak on the subject of both in
 11    I, 9   |           him who thinks that these speak. falsely produce other authors
 12    I, 9   |       credence to those who did not speak for the purpose of censure,
 13    I, 11  |          death. But let us cease to speak concerning morals; let us
 14    I, 11  |         same figure with which they speak of showers of iron when
 15    I, 11  |      painters also, and statuaries, speak falsehoods. For if this
 16    I, 11  |       itself that the poets did not speak falsely; for they so frame
 17    I, 11  |           concerning whom the poets speak, was man; but in the case
 18    I, 11  |          rivers. For when the poets speak of the offspring of Atlas,
 19    I, 17  |       himself a brute. Why should I speak of the lewdness of Venus,
 20    I, 20  |            to ascend into heaven--I speak of mind, virtue, piety,
 21    I, 20  |           can she, who is unable to speak, afford to a worshipper?
 22    I, 21  |             worshipped; we must now speak a few words respecting their
 23    I, 21  |             cannot find language to speak of the infants who were
 24    I, 21  |        wrote "Phenomena," when they speak concerning the two stars
 25    I, 21  |             one imagines that these speak falsely, let him consider
 26   II, 9   |        power; concerning whom I now speak more sparingly, because
 27   II, 9   |           that men are permitted to speak with great freedom, and
 28   II, 11  |         poets are not accustomed to speak that which is altogether
 29   II, 11  |            have an end. But we will speak of these things at greater
 30   II, 16  |         honour, because they cannot speak falsely to God, by whom
 31   II, 18  |   concerning which judgment I shall speak in the last book. He delays,
 32  III, 1   |       eloquent, as I admit, but who speak false things; and not that
 33  III, 1   |           eloquence. For they might speak well as men of learning;
 34  III, 1   |        learning; but they could not speak truly, because they had
 35  III, 6   |             Over this bridge, so to speak, we may pass without any
 36  III, 8   |          man; but before I begin to speak on this subject, all those
 37  III, 14  |         mortal body. For if we must speak, as the acknowledged majesty
 38  III, 15  |           in the schools. Perhaps I speak falsely for the sake of
 39  III, 15  |            harlot. For why should I speak of the Cynics, who practised
 40  III, 16  |          observed even by those who speak them; and inasmuch as they
 41  III, 17  |           before it was possible to speak, to hear, to see, and to
 42  III, 18  |            of slavery. Why should I speak of the Ambraciot, who, having
 43  III, 25  |            ITS PURSUIT.~We must now speak a few things concerning
 44  III, 28  |             he did not even himself speak with sufficient discretion,
 45   IV, 5   |       separated, it remains that we speak of religion itself, and
 46   IV, 5   |        folly. But before I begin to speak of God and His works, I
 47   IV, 5   |             His works, I must first speak a few things concerning
 48   IV, 7   |           perceived by the mind, to speak of whom is beyond the power
 49   IV, 7   |           concerning which we shall speak in the last book. But now
 50   IV, 7   |           last book. But now let us speak of His first nativity.~
 51   IV, 8   |           that through Him He might speak to us, and that He might
 52   IV, 8   |         utterance to a good word; I speak of my doings towards the
 53   IV, 9   |         WORD OF GOD.~But the Greeks speak of Him as the Logos, more
 54   IV, 12  |             will arise. But we will speak of these things more fully
 55   IV, 12  |            last book, when we shall speak of His second advent; now
 56   IV, 13  |            he had been compelled to speak the truth, he now appeared
 57   IV, 14  |         angels; nor did the prophet speak of the past so much as of
 58   IV, 15  |          and the tongue of the dumb speak plainly: for in the wilderness
 59   IV, 15  |            shall see,the dumb shall speak."~On account of these powers
 60   IV, 15  |         perhaps the sacred writings speak falsely, when they teach
 61   IV, 17  |             His month, and He shall speak unto them all that I shall
 62   IV, 17  |            which that Prophet shall speak in my name, I will require
 63   IV, 17  |         heart of which the prophets speak, which God transferred from
 64   IV, 18  |         whence it came, that it may speak with mortals; and tieshall
 65   IV, 18  |            that the prophet did not speak these things concerning
 66   IV, 23  |        words, because it is easy to speak, but difficult to accomplish.
 67   IV, 23  |         acted well as there are who speak well! But they who give
 68   IV, 24  |            perfect. I do not as yet speak of Him whom they deny to
 69   IV, 26  |        instruction of wisdom, might speak respecting God and the truth.
 70   IV, 26  |             the tongue has begun to speak truth--that is, to set forth
 71   IV, 27  |         poets and philosophers, who speak of the same beings at one
 72   IV, 27  |          being questioned they will speak, and confess respecting
 73   IV, 29  |       concerning His unity. When we speak of God the Father and God
 74   IV, 29  |          and God the Son, we do not speak of them as different, nor
 75    V, 2   |            oppose, but even what to speak. For if any of our religion
 76    V, 3   |          attempt. But he of whom we speak could both be believed to
 77    V, 9   |          whom they worship; and, to speak of things which are light
 78    V, 13  |             But in our case (not to speak of men), boys and delicate
 79    V, 16  |              but we both regard and speak of them as brothers in spirit,
 80    V, 18  |             In the meanwhile let us speak of justice, as we began,
 81    V, 20  |   confidence in the truth; let them speak, let them give utterance;
 82    V, 21  |        which it is even shameful to speak of? Have we done worse than
 83   VI, 3   |         ends to death. We therefore speak better and more truly, who
 84   VI, 3   |             may expect that I shall speak separately of vices and
 85   VI, 4   |         respecting which I must now speak.~
 86   VI, 6   |        openly when I shall begin to speak of the duty of piety. Now
 87   VI, 8   |          but to the heaven: and, to speak more plainly, he ought not
 88   VI, 8   |         subjoined, that I might not speak at greater length: "There
 89   VI, 8   |            I consider that they who speak true things unconsciously
 90   VI, 9   |              is deaf; though he may speak, is dumb. But when he shall
 91   VI, 9   |             both see, and hear, and speak. For he begins to have a
 92   VI, 10  |             the earth who could not speak except those who were infants,
 93   VI, 11  |            this justice of which we speak, and mercy, flourish more
 94   VI, 12  |       concerning which philosophers speak. This is the chief and truest
 95   VI, 12  |         this account. But we do not speak of that which ought to be
 96   VI, 13  |         itself, so that they either speak evil in anger, or, at the
 97   VI, 18  |             that no one should ever speak falsely for the sake of
 98   VI, 18  |                 It is not for me to speak falsely to a man who is
 99   VI, 18  |          that it is not his part to speak falsely even to an enemy
100   VI, 20  |            It remains that I should speak against the pleasures of
101   VI, 20  |  disgraceful gestures. Why should I speak of the actors of mimes,
102   VI, 21  |            of the tongue, unable to speak eloquently? Yea, rather,
103   VI, 24  |       better and more significantly speak of metanoia, which we may
104   VI, 24  |           of metanoia, which we may speak of in Latin ass return to
105   VI, 24  |             I promised that I would speak only of those: things which
106   VI, 25  |            PRAISING GOD.~Now let us speak briefly concerning sacrifice
107   VI, 25  |          and more truly does Seneca speak: "Will you think of God
108   VI, 25  |             his father, exclaimed: "Speak words of good omen, O Asclepius.
109  VII, 1   |            Of which subject we must speak in this book, lest all that
110  VII, 7   |           made by God: the prophets speak the same; and the same is
111  VII, 8   |         remains that we should also speak of immortality itself. The
112  VII, 8   |            the soul, yet he did not speak respecting it as though
113  VII, 12  |            either to perceive or to speak, so that either he is not
114  VII, 13  |           they would not venture to speak concerning the destruction
115  VII, 13  |             seen by human eyes, and speak, and foretell future events;
116  VII, 14  |             they were at liberty to speak falsely. But we, whom the
117  VII, 14  |        respecting which we will now speak in the end of our work,
118  VII, 17  |             course, and an image to speak; and these things shall
119  VII, 23  |      philosophers also attempted to speak as corruptly as the poets.
120  VII, 24  |          prophets bring forward and speak of many future events as
121  VII, 25  |             so many with one breath speak similar things; and at the
122  VII, 27  |             deaf hear, and the dumb speak, and the lame walk, and
