  7 3 |         must be another who does things contrary to God, and gives
  8 3 |        God, and gives to us good things. If there is such a one,
  9 4 |       race, to which all earthly things are subject? What happiness,
 10 4 |           but that he said those things which he spoke respecting
 11 4 |        so crafty as to say those things with the desire of deceiving,
 12 4 |          when he consigned these things also by his writings to

 16 5 |            and he who does these things is loved, esteemed, honoured,
 17 5 |         heavenly benefits! Those things are spoken speciously and
 18 5 |       who avoids darkness. These things are so connected by nature,
 19 5 |        he who loves confers good things on those whom he loves,
 20 5 |      easier to confirm uncertain things by means of those which
 21 6 |       have discovered that these things which have been spoken are
 22 7 |      dumb animals. For the other things which appear to be peculiar
 23 7 |     should wish to trace out the things most resembling the skill
 24 7 |         in the case of all these things which are wont to be ascribed
 25 8 |          Now, when he says these things, does he think that any
 26 8 |          is no divinity; but all things are made up by skilful men,
 27 9 |     nothing certain. After these things Socrates and his disciple
 28 9 |       discover anything new, all things having already been said
 29 10|          may understand that all things were produced spontaneously,
 30 10|  senseless, since he spoke those things which no sick man could
 31 10|     philosophers argued that all things were made up of four elements.
 32 10|         lest he who thinks these things worthy of refutation, should
 33 10|         water, and fire, and all things are produced, and are again
 34 10|          those seeds? For if all things are from them, whence shall
 35 10|         we see. He says that all things are made from minute bodies
 36 10|        of atoms would effect all things, all things would grow together
 37 10|     would effect all things, all things would grow together in the
 38 10|    refute those who say that all things are produced from nothing,
 39 10|        For he thus spoke: --~"If things came from nothing, any kind
 40 10|         come from nothing, since things require seed before they

 44 10|         concede to them that the things which are earthly are made
 45 10|        made froth atoms: are the things also which are heavenly?
 46 10|         such great and wonderful things arose out of fine and minute
 47 10|        being who might say these things, or that there should be
 48 10| Chrysippus, "which effects those things which man, though he is
 49 10|         man cannot make heavenly things; therefore that which shall
 50 10|    produce or has produced these things surpasses man in art, in

 58 10|  probable that lesser and humble things bear rule, but that greater
 59 10|         that greater and highest things do not bear rule. In short,
 60 10|      comprise the present; which things alone are divine. For no
 61 10|    energy and power of which all things which we see were both made
 62 10|          For so vast a system of things? such arrangement and such

 64 11|       whose will and command all things are ruled; and therefore
 65 11|          as easily discover true things as refute those that are
 66 11|       that he might expose false things. For whatever is fictitious
 67 11|         source and origin of all things, as Plato both felt and
 68 11|      Stoics, say nearly the same things. Truly it would be a long
 69 13|         our account. For all the things of which the world is composed,
 70 13|         offices even of heavenly things are regulated for the fertility
 71 13|     trees with fruits. And these things are exhibited by a succession
 72 13|         ask why, if God made all things for the sake of men, many
 73 13|        for the sake of men, many things are found even opposed,
 74 13|          say that there are many things among natural productions,
 75 13|          already discovered many things which were unknown in former
 76 13|          that he might bring all things into subjection to his own
 77 13|    before him both good and evil things, inasmuch as He gave to
 78 13|        is employed in discerning things evil and good: for no one
 79 13|         no one can choose better things, and know what is good,
 80 13|          to reject and avoid the things which are evil. They are
 81 13|         Therefore, good and evil things being set before it, then
 82 13|   Therefore, as innumerable good things have been given which it
 83 13|        for man. For if only good things are placed in sight, what
 84 13|         mixture either of bitter things, or things useless, or even
 85 13|      either of bitter things, or things useless, or even poisonous,

 90 14|       Lastly, for this cause all things were placed under his control,
 91 14|      that he might rule over all things; it is plainly most just
 92 14|         thus speaks: "But of all things concerning which learned

 96 15|    favour when He sees that just things are done, and to anger when
 97 15|         when He perceives unjust things. But Epicurus opposes us,

 99 16|          wicked, who pollute all things with their lusts, harass

106 17|        master, should attack all things, and themselves take the
107 17|          contempt. What if those things were done which are spoken

109 17|         to see wicked and unjust things done, and not to be indignant,
110 17|          good is displeased with things which are bad, and that

112 18|        the ends of good and evil things, as they employ sensual
113 19|          to the body and earthly things are pressed to the earth,
114 20|      respect, and there are many things which excite to the commission

119 21|        for He has enjoined those things which are just and useful
120 21|          costly offerings, which things are all corruptible, but
121 22|      pre-posterously, that human things give authority to divine

125 22|      anger, she introduced these things: --~"Avoid unlawful services,
126 23|    self-improvement, added these things :--~"But, ye mortals, in
127 23|          of heavenly and earthly things ought to be loved, lest
128 23|          the Father."~From these things it is evident that the arguments
129 23|         the Jews, inserted these things in his answer:--~"God, the
