91 sim, sim6, 5 | and the drunkard, and the back-biter, and the liar, and the covetous
92 sim, sim6, 3 | therefore, so beaten and so badly used, I was grieved for
93 vis, vis3, 7 | the word, and wish to be baptized in the name of the Lord;
94 vis, vis1, 1 | Some time after, I saw her bathe in the river Tiber; and
95 com, com8, 1 | watching the brotherhood, bearing insolence, being long-suffering,
96 sim, sim9, 9 | seeing that the tower was beautifully built, rejoiced exceedingly;
97 vis, vis3, 1 | permit me, but with her hand beckoned to me to sit down on the
98 sim, sim10, 3| defilement, even a little, befall it, they will immediately
99 | beforehand
100 vis, vis3, 2 | falling down at her feet, I begged her by the Lord that she

109 vis, vis2, 2 | great wickedness they have betrayed their parents. And they

112 sim, sim9, 31| recollection of your offences and bitternesses, and you will be formed
113 sim, sim9, 21| living nor dead. For as their blades, on seeing the sun, were
114 vis, vis4, 2 | life in serving the Lord blamelessly. Cast your cares upon the
115 sim, sim9, 19| repentance, because they did not blaspheme their Lord, nor become betrayers
116 sim, sim6, 2 | but have committed no blasphemy against the Lord. These
117 vis, vis1, 3 | He may bestow on them the blessing which He has promised them,
118 vis, vis1, 1 | look not forward to the blessings of the life to come. For
119 sim, sim9, 1 | and the whole mountain was blooming, and every kind of cattle

122 com, com11, 1| have the first seat, and is bold, and impudent, and talkative,
123 vis, vis4, 1 | which He had taught me, I boldly faced the beast. Now that
124 vis, vis2, 1 | coming to that place, I bowed my knees and began to pray
125 vis, vis3, 9 | drug-mixers carry their drugs in boxes, but ye carry your drug
126 sim, sim5, 3 | you will taste nothing but bread and water; and having reckoned
127 vis, vis1, 4 | to herself and touched my breast, and said to me," Have you

138 sim, sim1, 1 | accumulate dwellings and useless buildings? He who makes such preparations
139 sim, sim9, 2 | as if about to bear some burden. Thus they stood ready;
140 vis, vis3, 9 | other, and bear each other's burdens, and do not partake of God'
141 vis, vis3, 2 | falling into the fire and burning, others falling close to
142 sim, sim4, 1 | that world, and shall be burnt as wood, and [so] made manifest,
143 sim, sim1, 1 | Instead of lands, therefore, buy afflicted souls, according

145 sim, sim10, 4| Whoever, then, knows a calamity of this kind afflicting
146 com, com5, 2 | mighty, and strong, and calm in the midst of great enlargement,
147 vis, vis4, 1 | country house along the Campanian road. Now the house lay
148 vis, vis1, 1 | upon themselves death and captivity; and especially is this
149 vis, vis2, 3 | attend to them, but were careless and engaged in your wicked
150 vis, vis1 | PROUD THOUGHTS, AND THE CARELESSNESS OF HERMAS IN CHASTISING
151 com, com8, 1 | who are sick in soul, not casting those who have fallen into
152 vis, vis2, 1 | syllables of it I did not catch. No sooner, however, had
153 com, com2, 1 | which there is no wicked cause of offence, but all deeds
154 sim, sim10, 4| torture with him who is in chains. Moreover many, on account
155 vis, vis4, 2 | proceeding from the bridal chamber, clothed entirely in white,

157 sim, sim9, 28| to prison. If the heathen chastise their slaves, when one of
158 sim, sim9, 18| continue in evil, shall be chastised doubly, and shall die for
159 sim, sim9, 18| evil, receives a certain chastisement for his wickedness; but
160 sim, sim6, 3 | deceits of this world, and chastises them as they deserve with
161 sim, sim9, 28| God, and who also suffered cheerfully with their whole heart,
162 sim, sim9, 28| did not deny, but suffered cheerfully--these are held in greater
163 sim, sim5, 2 | fruitful, Having no weeds to choke it. And after a certain
164 sim, sim9, 9 | yourself, and not at once choose for the building those which
165 sim, sim9, 11| for some of them formed a chorus, and others danced, and
166 vis, vis3, 6 | now seduce them have been circumscribed, then will they be of use
167 vis, vis3, 8 | The first of them, who is clasping her hands, is called Faith.
168 sim, sim9, 10| unslacked lime and fine-baked clay, that I may fill up the
169 com, com11, 1| it, if you should wish to clear the storehouse. So also
170 sim, sim9, 10| me, "Everything has been cleared away; if the lord of the
171 sim, sim6, 5 | torture; explain it to me more clearly." He answered, and said
172 sim, sim9, 26| and desert-like, and not cleaving to the servants of God,
173 vis, vis3, 2 | burning, others falling close to the water, and yet not
174 com, com11, 1| to speak. For if you pack closely a storehouse with wine or
175 com, com12, 1| you all wicked desire, and clothe yourself with good and chaste
176 sim, sim8, 2 | into the tower had the same clothing--white as snow. And those
177 sim, sim5, 6 | and after labouring and co-operating with the Spirit, and having
178 vis, vis2, 4 | slept, by a young man of comely appearance, who said to
179 com, com11, 1| prophesies to them in a comer, and deceives them, speaking
180 sim, sim9, 15| virgins who stood at the comers. The first is Faith, the
181 vis, vis2, 3 | Maximus: Lo! tribulation cometh on. If it seemeth good to
182 sim, sim10, 3| to dwell in his house, I commend him and his house to you,
183 sim, sim5, 7 | your spirit; for both are common, and cannot be defiled,
184 com, com5, 2 | and you will be found in company with the purity which is
185 sim, sim5, 7 | and the all-powerful and compassionate God will heal former transgressions],
186 com, com12, 3| will be with you, and will compel them to obey you." I say
187 sim, sim9, 32| about your garment, and complain because you have not received
188 sim, sim10, 3| you entrusted me has no complaint against me, so neither will
189 sim, sim9, 11| explain to you, and will conceal nothing at all from you."~
190 com, com12, 3| shall live to God."~ He concluded the twelve commandments,
191 vis, vis3, 8 | ages, if now there is the conclusion. She cried out with a loud
192 com, com8, 1 | fear of the Lord, love, concord, words of righteousness,
193 sim, sim2, 1 | rich in intercession and confession, and his intercession has
194 sim, sim2, 1 | and he offers very few confessions and intercessions to the
195 sim, sim6, 3 | all kinds of disOrder and confusion; others are insulted by
196 com, com11, 1| clothed with truth, have no connection with such spirits, but keep
197 com, com12, 5| ye resist him, he will be conquered, and flee in disgrace from
198 com, com3, 1 | not to have joined an evil conscience with the spirit of truth,
199 vis, vis3, 11| and has lost its power in consequence of your infirmities and
200 com, com9, 1 | who does not give to you. Consider this doubting state of mind,
201 vis, vis3, 6 | righteousness; yet they have also a considerable share of iniquity, and therefore

212 sim, sim9, 26| their Lord, from having contracted savage habits. These men,
213 com, com3, 1 | to all; and no one ever contradicted me, but credit was given
214 vis, vis2, 2 | hearing these words, she will control herself, and will obtain
215 sim, sim9, 27| always maintained a holy conversation. All these, accordingly,
216 sim, sim5, 3 | mention in the course of our conversations I will show you. [Keep the

220 sim, sim5, 6 | the Lord took His Son as councillor, and the glorious angels,
221 sim, sim5, 2 | his friends who were his councillors, he told them what orders
222 vis, vis1, 3 | world, and by His glorious counsel has surrounded His creation
223 sim, sim9, 28| all men? Put away these counsels out of your hearts, that
224 vis, vis3, 1 | went to the country, and counted the hours, and reached the
225 vis, vis2, 4 | will send his to foreign countries, for permission has been
226 sim, sim5, 3 | whatever I shall mention in the course of our conversations I will

229 sim, sim9, 9 | way, that, on seeing it, I coveted the building of it, for
230 sim, sim6, 5 | back-biter, and the liar, and the covetous man, and the thief, and
231 sim, sim9, 28| superior; but all who were cowards, and in doubt, and who reasoned
232 sim, sim9, 26| deserted, and had in it creeping things and wild beasts which
233 vis, vis3, 8 | there is the conclusion. She cried out with a loud voice, "
234 com, com4, 1 | he also is guilty of her crime, and a sharer in her adultery."
235 vis, vis3, 7 | to their lusts and to the crimes which they committed. Do
236 vis, vis4, 2 | said to me, "Has nothing crossed your path?" I say, "I was
237 vis, vis3, 2 | prisons, great tribulations, crosses, wild beasts, for God's

242 sim, sim9, 5 | you are not found to be curious about trifles," he replied, "

244 sim, sim9, 11| formed a chorus, and others danced, and others sang; and I,
245 com, com5, 2 | and there is a complete darkness in his mind as to everything

248 sim, sim9, 1 | desert, and had within it deadly serpents, which destroy
249 sim, sim5, 1 | to the Lord for all His dealings with me, I see the Shepherd
250 sim, sim10, 4| endure them, hasten their own deaths. Whoever, then, knows a
251 com, com5, 2 | friend, or some gift or debt, or some such senseless
252 com, com8, 1 | sinners, not oppressing debtors and the needy, and if there
253 sim, sim9, 26| the chipped stones are the deceitful and the slanderers; and
254 com, com11, 1| to them in a comer, and deceives them, speaking to them,
255 sim, sim6, 2 | perverts them from the truth, deceiving them with wicked desires,
256 com, com12, 4| said to me in tones of the deepest anger, so that I was confounded
257 sim, sim9, 9 | and see, lest there be any defect in it." So I went round
258 sim, sim5, 6 | chastely, in no respect defiling the Spirit; and accordingly,

265 com, com12, 1| with this world. These it delivers up to death." "What then,
266 com, com11, 1| luxuries and many other delusions, and takes rewards for his
267 vis, vis3, 7 | Lord; but when the chastity demanded by the truth comes into

271 sim, sim9, 6 | to the chisel; they were deposited, however, beside the tower,
272 vis, vis3, 9 | from all your iniquity and depravity; but you do not wish to

274 sim, sim9, 16| then, is the water: they descend into the water dead, and

278 vis, vis3, 4 | Not because you are more deserving than all others that this
279 sim, sim9, 26| is destroyed, and is made desolate by the weeds, and in time

282 com, com7, 1 | he who has not power is despised by all. Fear, therefore,
283 com, com10, 2| minds what is good, and despises grief; but the sorrowful
284 com, com11, 1| prophetic Spirit, who is destined for him, fills the man;
285 com, com10, 1| more than all other spirits destroys man and crushes out the
286 sim, sim9, 11| they would not let me, but detained me. So I remained with them
287 com, com4, 1 | trusts in the Lord, and if he detect her in adultery, does the
288 com, com12, 3| since you have already determined for yourself that these
289 sim, sim2, 1 | observing an elm and vine, and determining in my own, mind respecting
290 com, com10, 1| simply believed, when they devote themselves to and become
291 vis, vis3, 8 | chaste, and divine. Whoever devotes himself to these, and is
292 vis, vis3, 7 | hearts, on account of their devotion to their lusts and to the
293 sim, sim9, 28| the Lord, ye would have died to God on account of your

295 sim, sim10, 1| he is in great honour and dignity with God, and that he is

298 sim, sim9, 7 | the places about the tower dirty, and be displeased, and
