638 5 | food under the pressure of outward necessity turns out to be
639 19| course of existence, is overlooked, and a sort of dense darkness
640 1 | even of things which are palpably evident. Hence I think that

663 13| that the resurrection is plainly proved by the cause of man'
664 5 | come into contact with the plicatures of the stomach than they

666 3 | gather into one the several portions of the elements, and divide
667 19| the nature we at present possess is preserved, the moral
668 12| free from suffering, in the possession of those qualifies with
669 21| preservation. How can it possibly be other than unjust for
670 9 | then from the analogy of potters and carpenters attempt to
671 19| sort of dense darkness is poured down upon the earth, hiding
672 22| from without? And what of practical wisdom, when things are
673 15| of rectitude, or even the practice of every virtue, and the
674 18| atheists and persons who practise every iniquity and wickedness
675 1 | concerning the truth always take precedence of those in defence of it;
676 12| have bravely borne their preceding life, although they lived
677 1 | of agreement with their predecessors and contemporaries, and
678 5 | else, according as that predominates which is present in greater
679 18| relating to the judgment: premising only one thing, from concern
680 1 | sake of appearing always to preserve the same method, to disregard
681 19| of opinion that the Maker presides over the things which He
682 12| appropriate functions (such as presiding over the impulses of the
683 5 | taken for food under the pressure of outward necessity turns

690 20| suspect that any judgment can proceed out of God and from God

705 6 | kinds of food have been provided suitable to their nature,
706 6 | by the natural means of purification, must become a most genuine
707 19| Judge of both deeds and purposes. For if no judgment whatever

710 6 | hurtful humours and poisonous qualities, because producing nothing
711 18| for the continuance of the race, and requires a judgment
712 3 | power is sufficient for the raising of dead bodies, is shown
713 12| whether man was made at random and in vain, or for some

715 19| against boys and women alike, razes cities unjustly, burns houses

719 9 | undeserving of censure, for it is really foolish to reply to superficial

727 12| duration, in order that, recognising their own Maker, and His

729 3 | kinds which are wont to have recourse to such bodies, and glut
730 18| since food and posterity refer to both together, that the

733 2 | notion which is very easily refuted), or, ascribing the cause
734 8 | to say such things from regaling themselves with the bodies

794 24| beings utterly devoid of sensibility: nor can it consist in the
795 21| body is the first to be sensible of, and in which it draws
796 2 | with the universe should be separable from it again. For He from
