624 5 | either angers of God or hatreds, or whatever they are of

626 19| hands placed across on the heads of the lads, he said, "The

639 19| crime that it committed, hesitating and giving way, it began
640 30| the woods on scales? " And Hezekiah: "That all may know that

682 5 | where a material capable of impression precedes them, not where
683 6 | said about God, must be imputed not to God, but rather to

694 15| desirous to overcome their incredulity concerning His divinity
695 18| by small and unperceived increments, gently accustoms men's
696 8 | should think that such an indefatigable providence of God does not

712 10| flesh and blood do not inherit the kingdom of God," it
713 19| gained the victory of its iniquity: at which time, on account
714 22| itself in descending to injuries and reproaches, in bearing
715 18| this should occur to the injury of human eyes, the darkness
716 19| Jacob complained of the injustice of their father, and when

720 25| indeed alone suffers the inroads of wasting and death, while
721 29| This is He who restrains insatiable desires, controls immoderate

780 20| what is conceded to the lesser should be denied to the
781 2 | power that approaches the level of His majesty. For to conceive
782 1 | depths, He has smoothly levelled the plains, He has ordained

842 19| although the people had the mastery, yet it proved to be inferior
