501 IV, 24 | righteousness say in reply to these things? How will he refute and
502 IV, 24 | except by example. For the things which you teach cannot have
503 IV, 24 | but I have need of many things for the support of this
504 IV, 24 | and I overcome those very things which you fear, that I may
505 IV, 24 | before you through those things which you allege that it
506 IV, 26 | and how He ordained all things which were accomplished,
507 IV, 26 | who, not seeing heavenly things, and surrounded with the
508 IV, 26 | worship earthly and frail things. He opened the ears of the
509 IV, 26 | deaf who do not hear the things which are heavenly and true,
510 IV, 26 | lately ignorant of heavenly things, having received the instruction
511 IV, 26 | long as it speaks false things it is not rightly employed:
512 IV, 26 | who cannot utter divine things. He also renewed the feet
513 IV, 26 | representations of future things; the things which He displayed
514 IV, 26 | representations of future things; the things which He displayed in injured
515 IV, 26 | were figures of spiritual things, that at present He might
516 IV, 26 | by chance. But as those things which He did signified the
517 IV, 26 | of His teaching, so those things which He suffered announced
518 IV, 26 | and miseries. All which things must be undergone and suffered
519 IV, 26 | righteousness, polluted all things with wickedness and lust.
520 IV, 26 | in a tomb. Now all these things were done lest His body,
521 IV, 26 | hut it was an image of things to come. For Christ was
522 IV, 27 | themselves and God. After these things let them call up Christ;
523 IV, 27 | this kind, who spoke many things respecting God the Son which
524 IV, 28 | SUPERSTITION.~And since these things are so, as we have shown,
525 IV, 28 | were carefully gathered all things which related to the worship
526 IV, 28 | diligently take in hand again the things relating to the worship
527 IV, 28 | diligently gather those things by which the gods are worshipped?
528 IV, 29 | greatest error. For when the things which we say seem to them
529 IV, 29 | Himself is the origin of all things, and in Him at once both
530 IV, 29 | once both the Son and all things are contained. Wherefore,
531 IV, 30 | perpetual light. Before all things, it is befitting that we
532 IV, 30 | defend and refute all these things neither by talent nor learning,
533 IV, 30 | liable. I have related these things in the meanwhile for the
534 V, 1 | matchless Creator of all things and Ruler of this boundless
535 V, 1 | patiently read. or hear these things. We demand, however, from
536 V, 1 | soothing sound. But those things which appear humble are
537 V, 1 | people, and to please in things which are evil; since it
538 V, 1 | as low; it avoids secret things as contrary to itself, inasmuch
539 V, 1 | and he wrote very many things worthy of admiration in
540 V, 1 | his words; inasmuch as the things which he spoke are mystical,
541 V, 1 | elegant and fitted for better things. But if this happened to
542 V, 2 | name; professing, above all things, that it was the office
543 V, 2 | so many and such secret things, that he sometimes appears
544 V, 3 | unlearned man could invent things adapted to one another,
545 V, 3 | and Zeno, themselves spoke things at variance with one another,
546 V, 3 | pleasures, and despised all things which are reckoned among
547 V, 3 | are reckoned among good things, and since they not only
548 V, 3 | suffer cruel and impious things. But he affirmed that Christ
549 V, 3 | whom many and wonderful things are accustomed to be related.
550 V, 3 | nothing at all of those things which you have read, since
551 V, 3 | because He did wonderful things, but because we saw that
552 V, 3 | because we saw that all things were done in His case which
553 V, 3 | Christ would do those very things. Therefore we believe Him
554 V, 3 | long before foretold all things which He did and suffered,
555 V, 3 | mighty, the maker of all things, the fountain of honours,
556 V, 4 | whosoever shall know these things, must either embrace that
557 V, 4 | capable of receiving divine things, should be presented with
558 V, 4 | he was content with those things alone in which faith consists,
559 V, 5 | boundary: men sought all things in common;" since God had
560 V, 5 | avarice might claim all things for itself, and that that
561 V, 5 | solitude brood over the things stored up, but admitted
562 V, 6 | their private gain; and the things which formerly even individuals
563 V, 7 | distinction between good and evil things, that we may know from that
564 V, 8 | prefer solid and eternal things to those which are frail
565 V, 8 | the law of God, if those things were done by all which our
566 V, 9 | be wondered at if these things are done towards men, since
567 V, 9 | more deserving of all those things which they either say or
568 V, 9 | worship; and, to speak of things which are light and usually
569 V, 9 | all." But which of these things can be laid to the charge
570 V, 9 | and their people do those things which we have said, but
571 V, 9 | which is the chief of all things. For impiety, if taken up
572 V, 10 | is the character of those things which are done by them contrary
573 V, 10 | notorious to all? Among these things is it possible for men to
574 V, 10 | there is need of those things with which you know that
575 V, 11 | which they show in other things. And not without reason
576 V, 11 | impossible to relate what things they performed individually
577 V, 11 | purpose. But they do these things not only on this account,
578 V, 12 | love you, and to confer all things upon you, who hate us. There
579 V, 12 | people suffer all these things through the perverseness
580 V, 14 | of the million commanding things evil;~Not the doom frowning
581 V, 14 | foolish when we do those things which philosophers praise?
582 V, 14 | hear nor perceive divine things, but fear and adore an earthen
583 V, 15 | integrity, and the other things of this kind, either naturally
584 V, 15 | Plato, indeed, spoke many things respecting the one God,
585 V, 16 | since we measure all human things not by the body, but by
586 V, 16 | For assuredly, since all things in this temporal life are
587 V, 16 | wise man: for these earthly things are altogether opposed to
588 V, 16 | altogether opposed to heavenly things. For as the wisdom of men
589 V, 16 | Euripides to this effect:--"The things which are here considered
590 V, 17 | Therefore he passed to greater things, in which no one could be
591 V, 18 | in appearing to do such things as he proposed. Now I perceive
592 V, 18 | by a knowledge of divine things. Thus their work, being
593 V, 18 | behold it ! But I omit these things, since it is possible that
594 V, 18 | his will to undergo these things. Do you then, O Furius--
595 V, 18 | who therefore refer all things to this present life, cannot
596 V, 18 | Thus, by referring all things to the present life, they
597 V, 18 | heaven, it deserves all things from God. Flaccus therefore
598 V, 18 | it is a sin to do these things, and the wise man abstains
599 V, 18 | virtues of man. Now by these things it appears that he is the
600 V, 19 | kingdoms? He who regards these things as human, judges his own
601 V, 19 | And if you take away these things, nothing in the life of
602 V, 20 | involved in ignorance of all things, they neither know themselves
603 V, 20 | bodies of the innocent such things, as neither the most cruel
604 V, 20 | deity and providence all things are governed; let them show
605 V, 20 | let them confirm all these things not by their own assertion (
606 V, 20 | anything concerning divine things, lest they should both be
607 V, 21 | when we suffer such impious things, we do not resist even in
608 V, 21 | and adore as gods some things which it is even shameful
609 V, 21 | they who have done these things do not suffer the vengeance
610 V, 21 | gods at all, but that all things are spontaneously produced,
611 V, 21 | spontaneously produced, and that all things which are done happen by
612 V, 21 | the gods. And yet these things are willingly heard by men,
613 V, 22 | confess to preside over all things, and to be Lord of all,
614 V, 22 | Lord of all, permit these things to be done, and neither
615 V, 22 | which they do not see these things contained, and they imagine
616 V, 23 | and honours. For all these things are the rewards of injustice,
617 V, 23 | because he deems all these things as human, as it has been
618 V, 23 | which book he has said many things, not assuredly with the
619 V, 23 | which is preferred to all things which are pleasant and beloved
620 V, 23 | vitals deter them. These things have great effect; but these
621 V, 23 | this perseverance, many things which relate to religion,
622 VI, 1 | one object the sum of all things and the whole course of
623 VI, 1 | they estimate good and evil things by the perception and pleasure
624 VI, 1 | understanding of divine things. The same blindness everywhere
625 VI, 2 | they believe that the same things are necessary and pleasing
626 VI, 2 | to him they afford all things which he shall wish for.
627 VI, 2 | which consists of corrupt things, but of the virtues of the
628 VI, 2 | prefers philosophy to all things, says that he would rather
629 VI, 2 | uprightness, we will add to them things which were unknown to them,
630 VI, 2 | possess. But I will omit those things which are common to us with
631 VI, 3 | and fall. And all these things are brought forward that
632 VI, 3 | nature of good and evil things is so fixed, that they always
633 VI, 4 | there are placed in it all things which are esteemed on earth
634 VI, 4 | shall not have foreseen the things which are about to follow
635 VI, 4 | present, and chosen better things, will be without these earthly
636 VI, 4 | injury, and yet enduring all things which are grievous; and
637 VI, 4 | shown both good and evil things, but in a changed and inverted
638 VI, 4 | therefore, good and evil things are set before man at the
639 VI, 4 | the occurrence of these things, present advantage must
640 VI, 4 | patiently submit to all things which are unpleasant and
641 VI, 4 | acquire for themselves those things which may perish in the
642 VI, 5 | to its nature, or in what things it consisted; and I must
643 VI, 5 | useful and honourable,~What things are good, and what are evil.~
644 VI, 5 | presently see how false these things are, that it may appear
645 VI, 5 | doing right and honourable things. Therefore that the knowledge
646 VI, 5 | from vice. For almost all things which are done unjustly
647 VI, 5 | meaning, that we do all things which are right. The whole
648 VI, 5 | ignorance of Him from whom good things proceed must thrust a man
649 VI, 6 | Now the source of good things is God; but of evils, he
650 VI, 6 | two sources good and evil things have their origin. Those
651 VI, 6 | call man away from heavenly things and sink him in earthly
652 VI, 6 | and sink him in earthly things, and thus to consign him
653 VI, 6 | referred the end of good things to the body, and to this
654 VI, 6 | their precepts, and all the things which they introduce as
655 VI, 6 | which are altogether mortal things, as much so indeed as he
656 VI, 6 | in the seeking of those things in the despising of which
657 VI, 6 | have recourse to those very things which, with its great and
658 VI, 6 | acquire for itself these frail things. But the course of virtue
659 VI, 6 | the acquisition of those things which neither any man, nor
660 VI, 6 | away from us. Since these things are so, that which follows
661 VI, 6 | of piety. Now the other things which follow are by no means
662 VI, 6 | themselves to power, and do many things which the good are accustomed
663 VI, 6 | the revenues,--all which things are not virtues, but the
664 VI, 6 | their country do all these things: for they are ignorant of
665 VI, 7 | unless he showed them some things which resembled the truth?
666 VI, 7 | hidden, God placed in his way things which men might despise
667 VI, 7 | or profess a contempt for things, he drags over certain rugged
668 VI, 8 | God; not to measure all things by their reference to the
669 VI, 8 | that they who speak true things unconsciously are to be
670 VI, 9 | God--then all those good things are superfluous and empty,
671 VI, 9 | Creator and Parent of all things, then he will both see,
672 VI, 9 | in discussing heavenly things, relates the virtue and
673 VI, 10 | gave him, besides other things, this feeling of kindness;
674 VI, 10 | beasts devoured them! These things appeared to others senseless,
675 VI, 10 | suppose, however, that these things are true which idle and
676 VI, 11 | or cold? But though these things are naturally on an equality
677 VI, 11 | distinction between these things, because they measure all
678 VI, 11 | because they measure all things not by the truth itself,
679 VI, 11 | themselves frail and perishable things, or they certainly gain
680 VI, 12 | the unjust if any do these things they are called great and
681 VI, 12 | utility. For in the other things which have been mentioned
682 VI, 12 | some advantage in these things, retained as it were by
683 VI, 12 | If I shall do all these things, I shall have no possessions.
684 VI, 12 | them for crimes? Transfer things about to be miserably thrown
685 VI, 13 | from the thoughts of evil things. He who ascends the first
686 VI, 13 | the sight of delightful things, they desire them with silent
687 VI, 14 | is timid? Because these things which are good have their
688 VI, 14 | distinction between good things and evil. These things are
689 VI, 14 | good things and evil. These things are not indeed false, but
690 VI, 14 | of which arise from good things, either future or present;
691 VI, 14 | present; the latter from evil things. In the same manner, they
692 VI, 14 | notion of good and evil things is taken away. For if the
693 VI, 15 | RESPECTING THEM.~For, that these things are natural and not voluntary,
694 VI, 15 | disputation, if, as I said, all things were not referred to this
695 VI, 15 | be in exercise, if those things are wanting by which its
696 VI, 15 | arise from the opinion of things good and evil, by the eradication
697 VI, 15 | they put certain other things into their place and room:
698 VI, 15 | For as we rejoice in good things that are present, so we
699 VI, 15 | vexed and grieved with evil things. If, therefore, they gave
700 VI, 15 | they do not take away those things which they think ought to
701 VI, 15 | names only are changed, the things themselves remain. They
702 VI, 16 | the impetuosity of these things cannot be restrained, nor
703 VI, 17 | purpose to show that those things which the philosophers thought
704 VI, 17 | disputes to admit those things which they had denied, but
705 VI, 17 | from the fear of all these things. In proof of which, there
706 VI, 17 | alone effects that all other things may not be feared. Desire
707 VI, 17 | but if it desires those things which are of the earth,
708 VI, 17 | if it desires heavenly things, it is a virtue. For he
709 VI, 17 | everlasting light, and all those things which God promises to man,
710 VI, 17 | the attainment of these things, and not desire; but, in
711 VI, 17 | and if it effects that all things which are sought by others
712 VI, 17 | they are referred to divine things. On the other hand, they
713 VI, 17 | the contempt of earthly things. But, on the other hand,
714 VI, 17 | also rightly esteem some things as virtues, but they do
715 VI, 17 | mind we trample upon those things which others fear--pain
716 VI, 17 | worships God suffers these things without fear. Therefore
717 VI, 17 | Therefore he is just. By these things it is effected, that he
718 VI, 18 | from heaven, practise those things which God who enlightens
719 VI, 18 | divine reward. The other things which the worshipper of
720 VI, 19 | given us for providing those things which are necessary for
721 VI, 20 | that they may seek those things which are necessary for
722 VI, 20 | perceive from the taste, the things which are useful for food;
723 VI, 20 | they refuse and reject the things which are useless, they
724 VI, 20 | flowers, than to admire things painted and moulded, and
725 VI, 20 | exhorted us to despise earthly things, and have urged us to look
726 VI, 20 | the commission of those things which are esteemed lawful
727 VI, 20 | understand, who is ignorant what things may happen, or are accustomed
728 VI, 20 | when they see that these things are practised without shame,
729 VI, 20 | And they approve of these things, while they laugh at them,
730 VI, 21 | not captivated by those things which penetrate to the innermost
731 VI, 21 | perception. For all those things which are unconnected with
732 VI, 21 | foresight, He wished those things which are divine to be without
733 VI, 21 | all might understand the things which He Himself spoke to
734 VI, 21 | food does the body: true things must be preferred to false,
735 VI, 21 | preferred to false, eternal things to those which are of short
736 VI, 21 | of short duration, useful things to those which are pleasant.
737 VI, 21 | who shall choose temporal things will be without things eternal;
738 VI, 21 | temporal things will be without things eternal; he who shall prefer
739 VI, 21 | who shall prefer earthly things will not have heavenly things.~
740 VI, 21 | things will not have heavenly things.~
741 VI, 22 | flowers: and he who does these things is plainly foolish and senseless,
742 VI, 22 | say, Why, then, have these things been made, except that we
743 VI, 22 | no virtue unless it had things which it might overpower.
744 VI, 22 | Therefore God made all things to supply a contest between
745 VI, 22 | supply a contest between two things. Those enticements of pleasures,
746 VI, 24 | and, turning to better things, makes satisfaction to God.
747 VI, 24 | and always avoid all those things in which they have perceived
748 VI, 24 | more easily follow right things if they had not tasted their
749 VI, 24 | witness of his fault: for all things are known to Him in whose
750 VI, 24 | nor of sods of turf, which things are plainly most vain, but
751 VI, 24 | most vain, but of those things which are put forth from
752 VI, 24 | divine, which always commands things which are right and honourable,
753 VI, 24 | honourable, and forbids things which are wrong and disgraceful;
754 VI, 24 | would speak only of those: things which completed the character
755 VI, 25 | garments, and jewels, and other things which are esteemed precious,
756 VI, 25 | since he thinks that those things are pleasing to Him which
757 VI, 25 | law of His? There are two things which ought to be offered,
758 VI, 25 | is a victim, and as many things as are burnt upon the altar.
759 VI, 25 | therefore to be worshipped with things which are not seen. Therefore
760 VI, 25 | Laws, he says: "But of all things which are discussed by learned
761 VI, 25 | pre-eminent goodness. For these things, and things resembling these,
762 VI, 25 | goodness. For these things, and things resembling these, are not
763 VI, 25 | Him. For He is full of all things, as many as exist, and He
764 VI, 25 | and make amends in good things, that he may be the same
765 VII, 1 | equally manifest that future things are to be preferred to those
766 VII, 1 | which are present; heavenly things to earthly: and eternal
767 VII, 1 | to earthly: and eternal things to those which are temporal:
768 VII, 1 | so great a magnitude of things could perish, and wished
769 VII, 1 | fail to understand these things which we relate, or, even
770 VII, 1 | have sold or squandered the things in which they delight, they
771 VII, 1 | say that we bring forward things plainly incredible; because
772 VII, 1 | will both believe these things, and will readily approach
773 VII, 1 | approach them; and whatever things we say, they will appear
774 VII, 1 | in the enjoyment of good things; because they have never
775 VII, 1 | long-continued use and desire of good things, which alone they know.
776 VII, 1 | gives for justice, and the things which we bring forward under
777 VII, 1 | shall dare to oppose these things, they must own themselves
778 VII, 1 | they will suffer all those things which they read and do not
779 VII, 2 | inasmuch as they had assumed things to be true which could not
780 VII, 2 | the truth and of heavenly things. And this knowledge, as
781 VII, 2 | able to understand divine things, he will be able also to
782 VII, 2 | he is not able to do the things which God does, because
783 VII, 2 | cannot even understand those things which God does. And whether
784 VII, 2 | the world, with all the things which it contains, you will
785 VII, 2 | subject to error; and as many things hinder the life of man,
786 VII, 2 | must be hindered by many things: so that it is not perfect
787 VII, 2 | were men; nor can those things have any foundation or firmness
788 VII, 3 | the one name of nature two things which are most widely different,
789 VII, 3 | are they mixed with those things which they govern. For if
790 VII, 3 | govern. For if all these things which we see are members
791 VII, 3 | everywhere diffused, and that all things are held together by it,
792 VII, 3 | whose command He made all things subject. But with regard
793 VII, 3 | reduced the world, and all things which are done in it, to
794 VII, 3 | breathing of the winds, and all things, are fixed with the greatest

796 VII, 4 | IV. THAT ALL THINGS WERE CREATED FOR SOME USE,
797 VII, 4 | FOR SOME USE, EVEN THOSE THINGS WHICH APPEAR EVIL; ON WHAT
798 VII, 4 | use. In like manner, other things, whatever are made, are
799 VII, 4 | not make use of all those things which are contained in it,
800 VII, 4 | living beings enjoy those things of which it consists; and
801 VII, 4 | may live and exist, all things necessary for them are supplied
802 VII, 4 | should God, when He made all things on our account, make so
803 VII, 4 | scatter so many pernicious things by land and by sea?" A very
804 VII, 4 | that both good and evil things should be set before man--
805 VII, 4 | be set before man--good things which he may use, and evil
806 VII, 4 | which he may use, and evil things which he may guard against
807 VII, 4 | nature of good and evil things, he may exercise the force
808 VII, 4 | distinguish from good and useful things, wisdom was not necessary

810 VII, 4 | occupied in distinguishing things good and evil. Great, therefore,
811 VII, 4 | the world itself and all things, as many as exist, and gave
812 VII, 4 | that He set him over all things, since he alone could admire
813 VII, 4 | God did not arrange these things on account of Himself, because
814 VII, 5 | either have maintained those things which they had found to
815 VII, 5 | And the sum of all these things is, that he should worship
816 VII, 5 | he who understands these things worships Him; he follows
817 VII, 5 | veneration as the Maker of all things, He as his true Father,
818 VII, 5 | to make him lord of all things living, and to love him
819 VII, 5 | Although we have taught these things for the most part in a scattered
820 VII, 5 | subject of a happy life, these things are to be explained by us
821 VII, 5 | strengthened the heavenly things, and established the earthly.
822 VII, 5 | forth and producing various, things, that by the abundance of
823 VII, 5 | when He had completed all things which belonged to the condition
824 VII, 5 | oppose one another. The things which are good for the soul

826 VII, 5 | shall have despised the things which are lowest. But he
827 VII, 5 | unless He had made contrary things; nor can the power of good
828 VII, 5 | experience both of those things with the nature of which
829 VII, 5 | may discriminate between things advantageous and things
830 VII, 5 | things advantageous and things disadvantageous, between
831 VII, 5 | disadvantageous, between things useful and things useless--
832 VII, 5 | between things useful and things useless--that he may have
833 VII, 5 | He mingled with evil some things which appear good, that
834 VII, 5 | likewise mingled with good some things which appear evil--that
835 VII, 5 | who, while he seeks good things which are not seen, permits
836 VII, 6 | This is the sum of all things, this the secret of God,
837 VII, 6 | victories, honours, and all things, which are of no avail except
838 VII, 6 | may be wanting of those things by which the life of man

840 VII, 6 | of bodies, because these things have been given for the
841 VII, 6 | yet if they required these things, they could bestow them
842 VII, 6 | depart from that sum of things which we comprised above,
843 VII, 6 | system is destroyed, and all things return to nothing.~
844 VII, 7 | saw and explained those things of which the main point
845 VII, 7 | brought forward all these things, and in different ways,
846 VII, 7 | connecting the causes of things, nor the consequences, nor
847 VII, 7 | any other way reject the things which are false, or choose
848 VII, 7 | he could not defend those things by divine testimonies, yet
849 VII, 7 | without distinction, upon all things which are brought forward
850 VII, 7 | have said either that all things were produced of their own
851 VII, 7 | arrangement by which all things are perceived to be kept
852 VII, 7 | that the world, and all things which are in it, were made
853 VII, 7 | reduce to a summary those things which they had perceived
854 VII, 8 | which conceives such great things, and contains such great
855 VII, 8 | and contains such great things, no origin can be found
856 VII, 9 | of the world. Before all things, since God cannot be seen
857 VII, 9 | arrangements s He also made many things the power of which is manifest,
858 VII, 9 | token and example of these things we might perceive God from
859 VII, 9 | mind, and referring all things to the bodily senses, who
860 VII, 9 | they believed that all things were carried on by fortune,
861 VII, 9 | and heavenly. But those things which are weighty depress
862 VII, 9 | greater good than those things are which it despises. But
863 VII, 10 | in turn pass on to those things which are opposed to virtue,
864 VII, 11 | for its faults. Therefore things are in this position, that
865 VII, 11 | already enjoyed the good things which they preferred, which
866 VII, 11 | is the destroyer of all things. But truly we see that the
867 VII, 11 | the contempt of present things, have handed down to memory
868 VII, 11 | or attain to these very things without the assent and assistance
869 VII, 11 | soul of itself desires many things which do not extend to the
870 VII, 11 | soul can do many and great things without the body. Why should
871 VII, 11 | should I mention that those things which are visible to the
872 VII, 11 | external violence; but those things which neither come under
873 VII, 12 | it hears and learns all things, and receives wisdom by
874 VII, 12 | drinking, but also from other things. For if it be destitute
875 VII, 12 | of the vessel, and these things which are in a house are
876 VII, 12 | Therefore we must pass by those things which have been discussed
877 VII, 12 | sufficient to have refuted those things which are against the truth.~
878 VII, 13 | changeable, that seeing all things, he may admire all things."
879 VII, 13 | things, he may admire all things." But some one may perhaps
880 VII, 13 | body, for perceiving those things the force and nature of
881 VII, 14 | because they had discovered things useful for the life of men,
882 VII, 14 | savage beasts. How far these things were from deserving immortality
883 VII, 14 | ignorant of the origin of all things, and of that primal period
884 VII, 14 | have often said that lesser things and things of small importance
885 VII, 14 | said that lesser things and things of small importance are
886 VII, 14 | shadowings forth of great things; as this day of ours, which
887 VII, 14 | people. For as, when all things were completed which were
888 VII, 14 | end and overthrow of all things after a short time, describing
889 VII, 14 | and wasting world. But the things which are said by prophets
890 VII, 15 | violence will possess all things. There will be no faith
891 VII, 15 | everything, and laying low all things as a crop. And--my mind
892 VII, 15 | its rulers. But if these things are so, what remains, except
893 VII, 16 | in pieces and consume all things. Then a most powerful enemy
894 VII, 16 | intolerable rule; shall mingle things divine and human; shall
895 VII, 16 | and human; shall contrive things impious to relate, and detestable;
896 VII, 16 | bitterness. On account of these things, beasts shall fail on the
897 VII, 16 | Nor, however, will these things take place in the accustomed
898 VII, 16 | shall reign; and, above all things, fear always overhanging.
899 VII, 17 | power of doing wonderful things. Wherever men shall not
900 VII, 17 | image to speak; and these things shall be done at his word,--
901 VII, 17 | pity sex or infancy; all things shall be confounded and
902 VII, 17 | common robbery. When these things shall so happen, then the
903 VII, 18 | THE LAST TIME, AND OF THE THINGS FORETOLD BY THE SOOTHSAYERS.~
904 VII, 18 | SOOTHSAYERS.~That these things will thus take place, all
905 VII, 18 | destroy the wicked. All which things are true except one, that
906 VII, 18 | attributed to Jupiter those things which God will do. But that
907 VII, 18 | have spoken, he added these things: "But when these things
908 VII, 18 | things: "But when these things thus come to pass, then
909 VII, 20 | OF THE SOUL~After these things the lower regions shall
910 VII, 20 | to make them pure."~These things are near to the truth. For
911 VII, 20 | Him to be able to do all things.~
912 VII, 21 | perceives even incorporeal things, and manages them as He
913 VII, 22 | Some imagine that these things are figments of the poets,
914 VII, 22 | and they say that these things are impossible; and it is
915 VII, 22 | more,~Remembering not the things before,~And with a blind
916 VII, 22 | blessedness.Therefore the other things are true, except the water
917 VII, 22 | or who they were, or what things they accomplished? But nevertheless
918 VII, 22 | rise again to these same things, or to return to a life
919 VII, 23 | return from human to divine things. The Sibyl thus speaks:--~"
920 VII, 24 | nor birds by prey; but all things shall be peaceful and tranquil.
921 VII, 24 | serpents. In short, those things shall then come to pass
922 VII, 24 | Spirit, and they saw these things, as it were, done and completed
923 VII, 24 | they thought that all those things were already fulfilled in
924 VII, 24 | lands shall produce all things.~The ground shall not endure
925 VII, 24 | dread huge lions."~Which things the poet foretold according
926 VII, 24 | the fruitfulness of all things:--~"And then shall God give
927 VII, 24 | which is the best of all things to mortals."~And another
928 VII, 24 | only will produce all these things, the stream of honey from
929 VII, 25 | CITY OF ROME,~These are the things which are spoken of by the
930 VII, 25 | one breath speak similar things; and at the same time, lest
931 VII, 25 | if I should heap together things collected and transferred
932 VII, 25 | might confirm those very things which I said, not by my
933 VII, 25 | who wishes to know these things more accurately may draw
934 VII, 25 | itself, and he will know more things worthy of admiration than
935 VII, 25 | one may now ask when these things of which we have spoken
936 VII, 25 | which still sustains all things; and the God of heaven is
937 VII, 25 | to set forth the other things which are then about to
938 VII, 26 | hiding-places, and shall find all things covered with carcases and
939 VII, 26 | they invent some detestable things respecting those who are
940 VII, 27 | that, despising earthly things, and laying aside the errors
941 VII, 27 | held while we served frail things, and desired frail things,
942 VII, 27 | things, and desired frail things, we may be directed to the
943 VII, 27 | and put in fetters;"~but things much more dreadful than
944 VII, 27 | thoughts of each. Whatever things are here desired, let him
945 VII, 27 | even in royal power: these things do not make a man immortal.
946 VII, 27 | and, following present things, shall prostrate himself
