In short, all studies ought 903 17 | lover of truth for its own sake, richly endowed with human 904 20 | old in Europe-to Paris, Salamanca, Alcalá, to Douay, Toulouse, 905 15 | knowledge and use of so salutary a science, which flows from 906 5 | wonderful spread, its marvelous sanctity, and its inexhaustible fecundity 907 9 | demonstration of truth and the satisfactory instruction of any reasonable 908 13 | powerful genius and thoroughly saturated with sacred and profane 909 9 | reason: Faith frees and saves reason from error, and endows 910 11 | academies of the Greeks, he saw clearly, as he himself confesses, 911 24 | blame lie in itself.

In short, all studies ought to find 935 29 | and constant experience showed, the liberal arts flourished 936 12 | the dialectic art, and for showing the agreement between reason 937 5 | known thereby.(17) Again, it shows God to excel in the height 938 5 | manifest by certain wonderful signs, the established proofs, 939 6 | fruitful, to be passed over in silence or belittled.
