 2 1 |            have imagined that the nature of things can be ascertained
 3 1 |            and in this the divine nature differs from the human,
 4 1 |           knowledge of the divine nature. On which account we have
 5 2 |   kindness; for they think that a nature excelling in the greatest
 6 2 |           must be taken away. The nature of the case admits of nothing
 7 5 |  sentiments respecting the divine nature, who say that there is kindness
 8 5 |           His divine and heavenly nature demands. For if among men

10 5 |        things are so connected by nature, that the one cannot exist
11 7 |          the dumb creation? Their nature is prostrated to the ground
12 7 |        being far removed from the nature of man, will live the life
13 7 |        have more wisdom, or human nature should be unwise, since
14 7 |           and the whole system of nature, are subject to man on account
15 8 |         speaking thus:--~"For the nature of gods must ever in itself

17 10|      ORIGIN OF THE WORLD, AND THE NATURE OF AFFAIRS, AND THE PROVIDENCE
18 10|   suddenly came into existence by nature, but hold, as Straton does,
19 10|       hold, as Straton does, that nature has in itself the power
20 10|           perceive that which the nature of the subject requires.
21 10|          all had one and the same nature, they could not make up
22 10|         of all I ask, What is the nature or origin of those seeds?
23 10|         they themselves are? What nature supplied such an abundance
24 10|        its own peculiar and fixed nature, its own seed, its own law
25 10|         we shall believe that the nature both of fire and water is
26 10|        and returning to their own nature. Therefore, if there is
27 10|        say, the world was made by Nature, which is without perception
28 10|           is much more absurd. If Nature made the world, it must
29 10|         make it, or knowledge. If nature is without perception and
30 10|            can it be but God? But Nature, which they suppose to be,
31 10|           why should it be called Nature rather than God? Or if a
32 10|          a concourse of atoms, or Nature without mind, made those
33 10|           untried? For concerning Nature, which has no mind, it is
34 10|           at all prevails in this nature of things. From what source
35 10|         to man except from a wise nature. But as mind and soul govern
36 10|          moist or airy, or of the nature of fire. For in these natures
37 10|           an intelligent and wise nature; but a wise and intelligent
38 10|        but a wise and intelligent nature can be nothing else than
39 11|        entirely does the whole of nature agree in unity.But if the
40 11|         in his third book, On the Nature of the Gods, destroyed the
41 11|         and stretched through all nature, gives vital perception
42 12|       understanding of the divine nature, in which we differ from
43 13|          to him wisdom, the whole nature of which is employed in
44 13|          befitting and adapted to nature; so that if any one should
45 13|         virtue remain in man, the nature of which consists in enduring
46 14|      unjustly and contrary to his nature, and in this manner disturbs
47 15|           the corruption of their nature, so that it was necessary

49 15|         of humanity, to which our nature yields? Let us weigh the

51 17| philosophers were ignorant of the nature of anger, is plain from
52 18|         But if he had learned the nature and causes of things, he
