Book, Paragraph

  1   I,   2|          the so-called "Nature of Things" felt or suffered? Have
  2   I,   2|       which it is agreed that all things were compacted, been altered
  3   I,   2|      bodies, with whose light all things are clothed, and by whose
  4   I,   2|    clothed, and by whose heat all things are vivified, blazed forth
  5   I,   2|   principles of equity? All other things with which the life of man
  6   I,   3|     hailstones, and other hurtful things, by which the property of
  7   I,   3|   ancients coined terms for these things, which, on the one hand,
  8   I,   3|          fall upon and assail all things. For do we not find it contained
  9   I,   5|      attribute to our times those things which took place long ago,
 10   I,   5|         new is occurring, but all things are old, and were unknown
 11   I,   8|           tracts, and impose upon things placed under them the necessity
 12   I,   8|         by our own advantages all things which take place, we blame
 13   I,   8|           and death, a renewal of things, and to affirm that a youthfulness,
 14   I,  10|           does not fix a limit to things prone to luxuriance?
 15   I,  12|           you have found fixed in things by their original constitution.
 16   I,  12|       belongs to you; since those things which take place are not
 17   I,  13|          I ask when you say these things, do you not see that you
 18   I,  13|    cheapness and abundance of all things? For this must first be
 19   I,  14|           continued to supply all things which use demanded?
 20   I,  18|        viz. death, which ends all things, and takes away life from
 21   I,  23|          to be versed in heavenly things, and, divesting themselves
 22   I,  25|     existence, as the Lord of all things that be, as occupying the
 23   I,  27|          prayers; from Him we beg things just and honourable, and
 24   I,  28|     worship God the Father of all things, and demand of Him protection
 25   I,  28|           they are reckoned among things that be, at whose will and
 26   I,  28|        follows that after Him all things were generated and put forth,
 27   I,  28|          from the great source of things. And if they are created
 28   I,  29|          us to see distinctly all things lying beneath it, to handle
 29   I,  29|           exist for the growth of things, lest elements pregnant
 30   I,  31|    greatest, O Supreme Creator of things invisible! O Thou who art
 31   I,  31|      first cause; in Thee created things exist, and Thou art the
 32   I,  31|       rest the foundations of all things, whatever they be. Thou
 33   I,  31|        say, that to argue against things palpably foolish, is a mark
 34   I,  33|        and Lord, the ruler of all things that be? In fine, if the
 35   I,  34|  endeavouring to connect together things which are dissimilar, and
 36   I,  34|      Himself is the source of all things, the Father of ages and
 37   I,  37|          antiquity, set forth all things with undisguised truth and
 38   I,  38|          that we do not see those things which are placed before
 39   I,  39|    teacher, I know what all these things are, I entertain honourable
 40   I,  42|       they) dare not allege these things to be false.
 41   I,  43|     Magian; He effected all these things by secret arts. From the
 42   I,  43|         witlings, do you speak of things which you have not examined,
 43   I,  43|         tongue? Were, then, those things which were done, the freaks
 44   I,  43|          study to know beforehand things impending, which, whether
 45   I,  44|     without any aid from external things, without the observance
 46   I,  47|           For however great these things be, how excessively petty
 47   I,  47|         able to do not only those things which He did, but that He
 48   I,  47|    loosened and overpowered those things which were bound with everlasting
 49   I,  48|     improved the health of man by things taken from without: it is
 50   I,  51|      subjection the causes of all things, and the natural laws of
 51   I,  54|          you do not believe these things; yet those who witnessed
 52   I,  54|        with childish asseveration things which never took place,
 53   I,  55|        because they saw all these things to be done by Christ Himself
 54   I,  56|  boastfulness. And would that all things could have been reduced
 55   I,  57|          too, you will find these things said with equal force. What
 56   I,  57|         be treated as true; those things, also, which are attested
 57   I,  57|           herself put forth those things which in discreditable fables
 58   I,  61|          have brought about those things which He had ordained to
 59   I,  63|        reason required that those things which had been resolved
 60   I,  63|           from Him. For when many things about the perils of souls,
 61   I,  64|           that He promised to you things which you might well wish
 62   I,  65|        the strange and unheard-of things which were held out staggered
 63  II,   1|    account, that He showed to you things concerning your salvation,
 64  II,   2|         that endures, by whom all things on earth and all in heaven
 65  II,   2|        looking round on all these things which we see, any one will
 66  II,   4|                  4. But all these things will be more clearly and
 67  II,   4|       Have you no doubt as to the things which you say are not true,
 68  II,   4|          there can be no proof of things still in the future. Since,
 69  II,   4|         not more rational, of two things uncertain and hanging in
 70  II,   5|           void of fear that these things may be true which are despised
 71  II,   5|   philosophy, seek to learn these things, despising those in which
 72  II,   5|         indeed believe that these things happen idly and at random?
 73  II,   6|           perceive that all these things are trifles? you alone,
 74  II,   6|    trifles? you alone, that those things are mere words and childish
 75  II,   7|          you do not know the very things which you speak of, which
 76  II,   7|            For, to pass by divine things, and those plunged in natural
 77  II,   7|         Can he, I say, know these things, which lie open to all,
 78  II,   7|     whether the flavour is in the things tasted, or arises from their
 79  II,   9|    handled with your hands, those things which you write yourselves,
 80  II,   9|        water is the origin of all things, pin his faith to Thales
 81  II,   9| comprehended by man, and that all things are wrapt in dark obscurity,
 82  II,  10|         mentioned, say those very things which they do say through
 83  II,  10|           For, did Heraclitus see things produced by the changes
 84  II,  10|     credulity to assert all those things which you write, and comprise
 85  II,  10|          doctrines, have made all things doubtful, and have shown
 86  II,  11|         But, supposing that these things do not at all hinder or
 87  II,  11|   definitions; that they say many things about the different kinds
 88  II,  11|  different kinds of numbers, many things about music; that by their
 89  II,  11|        syllogisms, and other such things, assure us that these men
 90  II,  12|        that unheard-of power over things, whether that which was
 91  II,  13|         say foolish and senseless things, when you too are found
 92  II,  13|         either these or just such things which you laugh at when
 93  II,  17|           art. Yet, even in those things which they make with beaks
 94  II,  18|          want and in need of many things, noticing some things happen
 95  II,  18|        many things, noticing some things happen accidentally to its
 96  II,  19|     pretty frequently, that these things were discovered under the
 97  II,  19|           it were a fact that the things which we learn are but reminiscences -
 98  II,  19|          we each assert different things, it is clear and manifest
 99  II,  22|           then, you ask, do these things tend? We have brought them
100  II,  22|    strange and previously unknown things, be above all ignorant of
101  II,  24|         call back to memory those things which we knew in former
102  II,  26|         power of recalling former things is lost through the interposition
103  II,  28|    tenaciously and faithfully the things which many years before,
104  II,  28|           does not remember those things which it knew long ago,
105  II,  28|       that it should forget those things which it has done from time
106  II,  28|         other, so as to make some things to be forgotten, and allow
107  II,  29|          trifling and unimportant things at immense values. Cease
108  II,  29|         in and set about unlawful things? who would not, in short,
109  II,  29|        gratify his desires in all things demanded by his unbridled
110  II,  32|                   32. Since these things are so, and we have been
111  II,  37|      temper droughts? But now all things must go on in their own
112  II,  39|      seeking to know the truth of things, they should be hindered
113  II,  44|            as the arranger of all things, He must have known-or that
114  II,  45|         and framer, the author of things great and invisible, should
115  II,  45|        every day, and now do mean things, now submit to lewd treatment;
116  II,  46|          46. But, to say the same things again and again, let this
117  II,  46|            God, who preserves all things, the origin of the virtues
118  II,  46|       most wise, just, making all things perfect, and that permanently,
119  II,  46|       from His arrangement. These things are unworthy of Him, and
120  II,  51|           known, not one of those things which you affirm can you
121  II,  51|           a doubtful imagining of things, and directing of the mind
122  II,  52|       race, and connected it with things as established; may it not
123  II,  54|           ground? Because, if all things are brought about by His
124  II,  54|           wicked deeds, the worst things will begin to seem to be
125  II,  55|        agree that there are these things, and expressly allow that
126  II,  55|         that we do not know these things, and have never sought and
127  II,  55|        sought and striven to know things which could be grasped by
128  II,  55|           how it is possible that things which have not feeling and
129  II,  56|          56. As for all the other things which are usually dwelt
130  II,  56|          or examine: we leave all things to their own causes, and
131  II,  56|          and will perish as other things must. And while of these
132  II,  56|          show that there are some things false in the others' opinions.
133  II,  56|    trouble themselves about human things; nay others maintain that
134  II,  57|           every side you see that things are being said altogether
135  II,  57|         weigh and guess at divine things by divine, but by human
136  II,  58|          and learned any of these things with certainty? If you chose
137  II,  59|          further, what these very things are,-taste, I mean, and
138  II,  59|           the first beginnings of things. Are the elements, then,
139  II,  60|          so many and so important things, escapes you yourselves
140  II,  60|        out and inquire into those things which it is quite clear
141  II,  60|        persuaded themselves as to things set before their eyes, and
142  II,  60|           and disregard all these things of which you speak, and
143  II,  60|           waste our thoughts upon things which have been removed
144  II,  61|          from her own brightness,-things which there is neither profit
145  II,  61|          not knowing? Leave these things to God, and allow Him to

147  II,  62|     received from the Lord of all things that which reason demands,
148  II,  64|         great that you term those things which are offered by Christ
149  II,  66|      cradles even, to prefer good things to bad, useful to useless
150  II,  66|         to bad, useful to useless things, and to pursue and seek
151  II,  68|      repudiated and rejected many things on either perceiving your
152  II,  70|          I speak of these trivial things? The immortal gods themselves,
153  II,  70|        and was not reckoned among things or as existing at all; but
154  II,  70|      revile and accuse others for things which can be retorted upon
155  II,  72|          the head and fountain of things? is not He? To whom does
156  II,  75|      cannot have. For what if the things themselves to which it was
157 III,   2|          who orders and rules all things: in Him we serve all that
158 III,  10|        sensuality? And since some things are peculiar to the female
159 III,  13|        But if the gods bear these things which are seen, it is fitting
160 III,  19|        which He determines? These things are good in man; and being
161 III,  23|         that under their care all things have been placed, which
162 III,  28|        related; or if they do the things which you say, they are
163 III,  29|          in bringing forward many things about the gods so inconsistent
164 III,  32|           because it provides all things living with food; others
165 III,  35|          and confusing all divine things, the world is set up as
166 III,  38|        watch over the renewing of things, because, by their care,
167 III,  38|       because, by their care, all things are afresh renewed in strength,
168 III,  39|       cannot be, in the nature of things, that those who differ in
169 III,  39|         mistaken, who substitutes things most frivolous and vain
170 III,  42|           to gather together many things into one mass, since it
171 III,  42|           with certainty of these things which you assert. But you
172 III,  44|        destroy belief in the very things which you seek to establish.
173  IV,   2|    weakness of body. For as these things happen accidentally, and
174  IV,   5|      formed that we speak of some things as on our right hand, of
175  IV,   5|          left; and yet these very things which we name left, and
176  IV,   6|         to appoint them over base things, and disreputable actions?
177  IV,   7|         the one has been set over things brought to light, the other
178  IV,   8|         that the gods precede all things whatever by countless ages
179  IV,   8|         so, how, in the nature of things, can it be that, from things
180  IV,   8|      things, can it be that, from things produced afterwards, they
181  IV,   8|    charged with the care of those things which were not yet produced,
182  IV,   8|      names; and was it only after things began to spring up, and
183  IV,  10|     thresholds, and all the other things which we have either run
184  IV,  10|         for and guard innumerable things. For why should a god have
185  IV,  10|           hair, and all the other things which are placed in the
186  IV,  10|         as many gods as there are things; nor will the cause be stated
187  IV,  10|         care does not protect all things, if you say that there are
188  IV,  10|        say that there are certain things over which the deities preside,
189  IV,  11| Noduterensis: and do you say that things have sunk into ruin, and
190  IV,  11|        you imagine such monstrous things, and form such conceptions,
191  IV,  13|      become acquainted with these things in the more recondite arts.
192  IV,  17|          We may say the very same things of the Mercuries, the Suns,-
193  IV,  18|          it is enough to speak of things which come before the public;
194  IV,  19|             19. But perhaps these things will turn out to be false,
195  IV,  20|           and that some threw all things into utter confusion with
196  IV,  27|     worship? For either all these things are false which you bring
197  IV,  28|         yet you declare all these things both were, and are, in your
198  IV,  28|       away with them: for all the things of which you speak relate
199  IV,  29|          carefully brought secret things to light with noble candour.
200  IV,  30|         if you believe about them things which are not only far remote
201  IV,  32|                 32. But all these things, they say, are the fictions
202  IV,  33|       writers, pretend that these things are allegories, and contain
203  IV,  34|        have uttered so marvellous things are chiefs and kings among
204  IV,  36|          learn by heart all these things, with which are mixed up
205  IV,  37|       cannot be, in the nature of things, that what is one should
206  IV,  37|        and go apart into separate things.
207   V,   1|          Admitting that all these things which do the immortal gods
208   V,   1|       thunder-portents with those things which you have bargained
209   V,  10|       light of day, attacking all things which lay in his way, he
210   V,  14|          such beliefs? When these things are brought forward, are
211   V,  14|     ashamed and confounded to say things so indecent? We wish to
212   V,  15|     foolish to ask proofs of such things, as well as to say them.
213   V,  15|          we have neither declared things so much to their disgrace,
214   V,  16|    testify that you believe these things to be true, and consider
215   V,  17|                     17. Or if the things which we say are not so
216   V,  18|         in striving to unfold all things, we should be defiled by
217   V,  22|        how many base and unseemly things there are in each particular.
218   V,  22|        the character of all these things, how wicked they are, how
219   V,  23|           those who discuss these things wish themselves to be thought
220   V,  23|          that he should throw all things into one mass, as of old?
221   V,  24|    pursuits of civilization, says things as insulting to the gods
222   V,  26|           in receiving the sacred things,-" I have fasted, and drunk
223   V,  28|         the Furies, and all other things, the informer passed from
224   V,  32|         even in criticising these things, that you are rather ignorant,
225   V,  32|          the story; but all these things are understood in allegorical
226   V,  33|          known, either that these things were written allegorically,

228   V,  36|         said, you choose out some things which suit your purpose,
229   V,  39|           not credible that these things were set on foot without

231   V,  40|           than to call the basest things by the names of the gods;
232   V,  40|            to signify commonplace things by the base actions of the
233   V,  41|         openly; but now venerable things are at your instance; vilely
234   V,  41|      Venus, two most inconsistent things are done at the very same
235   V,  42|         unseemly, even the basest things, to be said about them?
236   V,  42|          to have suffered certain things, to have done certain things
237   V,  42|      things, to have done certain things also, whom all the theatres
238   V,  43|         and do not see that these things can be got rid of which
239   V,  43|           you strive to make base things honourable, and by every
240   V,  44|           measure in calling base things by the names of deities,
241   V,  44|        them the names of infamous things. But if you believed without
242   V,  45|       reason is there, that, when things can be classed under their
243  VI,   1|      sacrifices, and of the other things which are nailed and closely
244  VI,   2|          true gods. that the same things may be said again till you
245  VI,   3|          Do we give Him the other things, to take which and pour
246  VI,   3|      necessities, and to give the things useful to yourself to the
247  VI,   3|          to the gods who give all things, and to think this an honour,
248  VI,   3|      varying intervals, all these things are made up of earth, and
249  VI,   3|      cells, and to think that the things are necessary to them which
250  VI,   4|          to the gods,-to fill all things with their power, to be
251  VI,   8|          by mocking at these very things. For if you are assured
252  VI,  10|         be clear and certain from things which are manifest. For
253  VI,  11|    writings which hand down these things to memory; the Arabians
254  VI,  15|           and say that these very things have, and possess in themselves,
255  VI,  15|      become silver? Does it cause things which but a little before
256  VI,  15|       suppose that the natures of things are changed by the kind
257  VI,  16|         are speaking to senseless things, you think that you are
258  VI,  16|      stone. Now, indeed, if these things could not be seen through
259  VI,  16|          services in vain to dead things. For, in this case, do you
260  VI,  16|         kinds of filth, and other things suited to their wants, hard
261  VI,  16|           scruple to cast unclean things in obedience to the laws
262  VI,  17|     gypsum? and, that the meanest things may be able to become of
263  VI,  19|        you ask wherefore? Because things which are naturally single
264  VI,  20|       bars, bolts, and other such things, and defend them with a
265  VI,  21|       family. Now, when all these things were being done, and the
266  VI,  22|        face, and to do other vain things, carried away by a foolishly
267  VI,  23|          as much as are all other things which have not life.
268  VI,  24|        when, on the contrary, all things are full of wicked men,
269 VII,   1|           and about all the other things which are provided on such
270 VII,   1|     possessed by desires for such things. What, then, some one will
271 VII,   1|          care much less for these things, for they have no feeling;
272 VII,   3|             3. So, then, if these things are so. we desire to learn
273 VII,   3|           is upheld by causes and things external to itself, must
274 VII,   3|      because we see that of these things which are brought to their
275 VII,   3|       body should be nourished by things pertaining to the body,-
276 VII,  11| interference of the gods, but all things are brought about by inevitable
277 VII,  12|         sheep, and with the other things which are put upon their
278 VII,  13|    suppose, that victims, and the things which go along with them,
279 VII,  13|         of heaven, and that these things which they do, they do to
280 VII,  13|        cattle, and from the other things which are prepared in sacrificing?
281 VII,  16|         gods of heaven with those things by which we are ourselves
282 VII,  17|           imagined, in order that things may be seen more clearly-if
283 VII,  17|         your honour, not of other things and substances, but of those
284 VII,  17|          enjoin you to turn these things to your own account, to
285 VII,  17|         juices, and because those things which nourish you are pleasing
286 VII,  20|        their altars? Because dark things suit dark, and gloomy things
287 VII,  20|      things suit dark, and gloomy things are pleasing to similar
288 VII,  20|           if yon think that those things are pleasing to the infernal
289 VII,  20|           care that all the other things which it is customary to
290 VII,  20|       scruple in introducing some things which are white and retain
291 VII,  21|           my opponent, that these things should be confounded, and
292 VII,  21|          in manners, are the same things which by one party are considered
293 VII,  22|               22. If, then, these things are vain, and are not supported
294 VII,  23|        necessity are led to those things, to do which they were made.
295 VII,  24|           is the meaning of these things, apexaones, hircioe, silicernia,
296 VII,  25|       what the reason, that these things also are given to the gods
297 VII,  27|       fight in judging that these things are well expended, and are
298 VII,  28|     sweetness of smells, the same things are pleasant to them which
299 VII,  28|          not be possible that the things which give pleasure to you,
300 VII,  28|          from the earth, the same things are either bitter or sweet
301 VII,  28|   different species, that to some things are fatal which are not
302 VII,  28|          others, so that the same things which charm some with their
303 VII,  28|       cause of this is not in the things which cannot be at one and
304 VII,  28|          by the influences of the things, but springs from the nature
305 VII,  30|     utterly unwilling to consider things as they are, to converse
306 VII,  33|        calm and gentle, if absurd things are done, and idle fellows
307 VII,  33|     consecrate to them the basest things which a rigidly virtuous
308 VII,  33|         gracious to men? If these things cause the gods to forget
309 VII,  33|     matter, whether they do these things themselves, or are pleased
310 VII,  34|          unable to know all these things, or to discern them by any
311 VII,  35|         when we hear you say such things, as we hold and think that
312 VII,  36|        contrary, judge that these things are remote from the dispositions
313 VII,  36|          satisfaction which these things give; we hold it to be out
314 VII,  36|          and delighted with those things which a wise man laughs
315 VII,  37|                   37. Since these things are so, and since there
316 VII,  37|          For since we see all the things which are offered to them
317 VII,  38|     deities are cooled when these things are offered, and those things
318 VII,  38|     things are offered, and those things become favourable which
319 VII,  38|         it is dear that all these things are not done without the
320 VII,  39|           not deny that all these things are to be found in the writings
321 VII,  40|       thunderbolt, and many other things in it, the image of Jupiter
322 VII,  40|      conspirators; but that these things could not be averted, nay,
323 VII,  41|                     41. All these things which have been mentioned,
324 VII,  41|            and the creator of all things which are-who set out from
325 VII,  46|          seeing that it had those things which we have mentioned,
326 VII,  49|           on them, and many other things acComplished at home and
327 VII,  50|       point, and by whose nod all things have been established.
328 VII,  51|         at one time desires these things, at another requires those,
329 App     |           not deny that all these things which have been brought
330 App     |           powers, read these same things, and know that they have
331 App     |           of his deeds? All which things, if they be sifted thoroughly
332 App     |   unsteadiness? Now, if all these things are considered thoroughly
