  1   I,  25|         unguarded speech? To adore God as the highest existence,
  2   I,  26|          or is he to be believed a god, although he declare himself
  3   I,  26|          will he himself be called god, and be reckoned among the
  4   I,  26|          in prayer, that we invoke God Supreme, and that we beg
  5   I,  28|     Limentini, than we who worship God the Father of all things,
  6   I,  28|         have given ourselves up to God, at whose nod and pleasure
  7   I,  28|           This is also a gift from God their Author, that they
  8   I,  29|       after, or believes any other god rather than this of ours?
  9   I,  31|        immortal, enduring for aye, God Thyself alone, whom no bodily
 10   I,  31|         express doubt whether that God exists or not; whether He
 11   I,  32|            prove by arguments that God is the highest being, as
 12   I,  33|          both feel that there is a God, and proclaim that He alone
 13   I,  34|         human race, the omnipotent God is regarded as having never
 14   I,  34|          is so, how can Jupiter be God supreme, when it is evident
 15   I,  35|          they have no knowledge of God. And that that God is not
 16   I,  35|    knowledge of God. And that that God is not Jove, is evident
 17   I,  36|         you worship the omnipotent God; but because you both allege
 18   I,  36|        even for worthless men, was God, and because you believe
 19   I,  38|          called and to be esteemed God by us, in consideration
 20   I,  38|        race; who has shown us what God is, who He is, how great
 21   I,  39|            to be regarded by us as God? and is He, who in other
 22   I,  41|           propitious and as a holy god, in the temples of the Great
 23   I,  42|         called and be addressed as God. But since He is God in
 24   I,  42|            as God. But since He is God in reality and without any
 25   I,  42|          Is that Christ of yours a god, then? some raving, wrathful,
 26   I,  42|            excited man will say. A god, we will reply, and the
 27   I,  42|             we will reply, and the god of the inner powers; and-what
 28   I,  44|            proper duty of the true God, as was consistent with
 29   I,  47|        realms He has come, of what God He is the minister! But
 30   I,  47|          of His works, what a true god was. At the same time we
 31   I,  48|     inquire, I do not demand, what god did so, or at what time;
 32   I,  48|     without: it is a disgrace to a god that he is not able to effect
 33   I,  49|         this is the mark of a true god and of kingly power, to
 34   I,  51|         name he is revealed as the god of life? I shall not say,
 35   I,  53|          roars of laughter. He was God on high, God in His inmost
 36   I,  53|      laughter. He was God on high, God in His inmost nature, God
 37   I,  53|          God in His inmost nature, God from unknown realms, and
 38   I,  53|          Ruler of all as a Saviour God; whom neither the sun himself,
 39   I,  53|            He was discovered to be God who heretofore was reckoned
 40   I,  55|         both devoted themselves to God, and reckoned it as but
 41   I,  56|            all proved to have been God.
 42   I,  57|       concerning your gods: for no god has descended from heaven,
 43   I,  60|           opponents, if Christ was God, why did He appear in human
 44   I,  64|            if you could do so to a god; nay, Him alone you would,
 45   I,  65|         being brought to them from God Supreme, what must be done
 46  II,   2|        learned to know the supreme God, to know how to pray to
 47  II,   2|             to know how to pray to God Supreme, who alone is the
 48  II,   2|        hesitate with regard to the God whom we all know by nature,
 49  II,   2|         whether when we cry out, O God, or when we make God the
 50  II,   2|             O God, or when we make God the witness of wicked deeds,
 51  II,   5|          you believe that, without God's grace, their minds are
 52  II,   6|            man is foolishness with God?
 53  II,  14|      perish if they have not known God, and on the other be delivered
 54  II,  14|          when souls which know not God shall be consumed in long-protracted
 55  II,  15|            in point of rank to the God and ruler of the world,
 56  II,  15|            in beliefs; we all know God; and there are not as many
 57  II,  16|  immaterial? or how can that which God has made, be led by weaker
 58  II,  16|        arrogance, O men, who claim God as your Father, and maintain
 59  II,  19|         the slightest knowledge of God, they would never claim
 60  II,  25|     holding the fourth place under God tim Lord of the universe,
 61  II,  26|           as akin and very nigh to God, and as coming hither knowing
 62  II,  29|      immortal, just as the supreme God Himself, and that no sentence
 63  II,  29|          be pronounced upon him by God, seeing that there is the
 64  II,  32|          and given ourselves up to God our deliverer, because of
 65  II,  36|            good-will and favour of God their Father. In the same
 66  II,  36|         the boon of immortality is God's gift to these who were
 67  II,  36|       whose thoughts are worthy of God, and not such as the vulgar
 68  II,  36|          maintained by the will of God, their King and Prince;
 69  II,  36|         bands is preserved only by God's goodness; and that by
 70  II,  36|           their life is kept up by God's grace, without break or
 71  II,  37|             and therefore Almighty God sent souls hither to form
 72  II,  39|       truth, and forgetful of what God was, they should make supplication
 73  II,  45|         far from us, that Almighty God, the creator and framer,
 74  II,  46|          be put far from us, that. God, who preserves all things,
 75  II,  47|               47. But, you say, if God is not the parent and father
 76  II,  47|      because we deny that they are God's? That by no means follows
 77  II,  48|         souls are the offspring of God Supreme, it does not necessarily
 78  II,  48|            aware that they are not God's descendants? By what method,
 79  II,  52|         not go back to the Supreme God? For what reason do we suppose
 80  II,  52|            of man from the highest God, and transferred it to some
 81  II,  52|         forming of man unworthy of God, and the fashioning of a
 82  II,  53|         hope of so great a gift on God Supreme, who alone has power
 83  II,  53|          if we trust that Almighty God will take care of us when
 84  II,  54|         some one will say, without God's will? We must consider
 85  II,  54|        think that we are honouring God by such a question, we fall
 86  II,  55|            Why, then, the Almighty God does not take away these
 87  II,  55|        ages? If we have learned of God the Supreme Ruler, and have
 88  II,  55|    knowledge than say that without God nothing is made, so that
 89  II,  55|         that nothing proceeds from God Supreme which is hurtful
 90  II,  60|          by command of the Supreme God, because He knew that men
 91  II,  60|        have indeed been related to God, the head of the world,
 92  II,  61|     knowing? Leave these things to God, and allow Him to know what
 93  II,  61|           seek to know the Supreme God, a cruel death awaits you
 94  II,  62|  pretenders, that they are born of God, and are not subject to
 95  II,  62|     desires. None but the Almighty God can preserve souls; nor
 96  II,  63|            say, Christ was sent by God for this end, that He might
 97  II,  64|         upon your own free choice? God, Plato says, does not cause
 98  II,  64|         the gift of salvation from God; and must God's gracious
 99  II,  64|       salvation from God; and must God's gracious mercy be poured
100  II,  64|           the benefit of the gift. God compels no one, terrifies
101  II,  65|          Nay, my opponent says, if God is powerful, merciful, willing
102  II,  65|          the bounty of the Supreme God, but a childish and vain
103  II,  65|           What, then, do you blame God as though He failed you?
104  II,  65|            and entrusted to Him by God the Father, the remote and
105  II,  70|        then, at a certain time the god Jupiter began to be, at
106  II,  72|           the Almighty and Supreme God seem to you to be something
107  II,  73|            its truth; to show what God is; to summon us from mere
108  II,  74|             my, opponent says, did God, the Ruler and Lord of the
109  II,  74|         any one to see the mind of God, or the way in which He
110  II,  75|            it may be that Almighty God, the only God, sent forth
111  II,  75|        that Almighty God, the only God, sent forth Christ then
112  II,  75|            this, nothing compelled God to anticipate the necessary
113  II,  76|          as you serve the Almighty God, and trust that He cares
114  II,  76|           are in no wise helped by God. The cause is plain and
115  II,  78|          let us flee for safety to God our Saviour, without demanding
116  II,  78|         let us commit ourselves to God, and let not our incredulity
117 III,   8|          us, as though we believed God whom we worship to be male,-
118 III,   8|            to say whether thou art god or goddess, and this uncertain
119 III,  17|         made; so, when the form of God is discussed, we show that
120 III,  19|  themselves. For who will say that God is brave, firm, good, wise?
121 III,  19|          senseless, as to say that God is great by merely human
122 III,  19|     thought you imagine concerning God, passes and is corrupted
123 III,  19|            be assured of regarding God's nature, to know and perceive
124 III,  19|          human language concerning God.
125 III,  20|            more, rustics? And that god, he says, is a musician,
126 III,  21|        himself inspired by another god, and is he urged and roused
127 III,  23|         their art from the Pythian god; and why does he so often
128 III,  24|     belongs to the true and mighty God, to show kindness, unasked,
129 III,  24|       matter; and, forgetting what God is, and the majesty of His
130 III,  26|            shall then say that the god, to satisfy his own inclination,
131 III,  29|          you erase the name of the god to whom in all prayers you
132 III,  29|           neither thus can he be a god. For who does not know that
133 III,  29|           as to say that time is a god, when it is but a certain
134 III,  31|       outspread water, there is no god Neptune at all; and thus
135 III,  32|       Mercury is not the name of a god, but of speech and words
136 III,  32|            of words and names, the god who presides over markets,
137 III,  33|          of Semele and the Pythian god are blotted out and set
138 III,  35|        world is set up as the sole god in the universe, while all
139 III,  38|       number, or in ignorance, any god should be passed by, all
140 III,  42|          believe that there is any god concerning whom you have
141 III,  42|         known whether there is any god, if what he is shall be
142  IV,   6|      Lateranus, as you say, is the god and genius of hearths, and
143  IV,   6|           purpose, I ask, has that god received the charge of hearths?
144  IV,   7|        prayers; Nemestrinus is the god of groves; Patellana is
145  IV,   7|          Nodutis is spoken of as a god, because he brings that
146  IV,  10|           things. For why should a god have charge of honey only,
147  IV,  13|          will learn who is the one God, or who the very many under
148  IV,  17|       witness, or make the Pythian god your authority.
149  IV,  19|            you read and hear, That god was born of this father
150  IV,  21|          then, shall I repeat, the god who makes the thunder crash,
151  IV,  22|          and courtezans, a lustful god, show his incontinence in
152  IV,  26|        since, in your opinion, the god Hercules was born to exceed
153  IV,  26|          son; but Hercules, a holy god, in one night taught the
154  IV,  36|      prayer is made to the Supreme God, peace and pardon are asked
155   V,   4|            going to say, could the god not know in what ways a
156   V,  12|            terror? But if he was a god, how could he be deceived,
157   V,  19|        divinity and majesty of the god, tear in pieces with gory
158   V,  20|          of the sort. Instead of a god, he becomes a bull; and
159   V,  28|            up, a base lover of the god, and a fellow too prone
160   V,  28|      approaches to Acheron, if the god will gratify him, and suffer
161   V,  28|        voluptates ex se carpi. The god, without reluctance, swears
162   V,  44|           which the same seductive god put on with perfidious guile,
163  VI,   1|          statues and images of any god, do not build altars, do
164  VI,   4|            yet we think that every god whatever-if only he has
165  VI,   5|      obtaining the benefit, if the god does not hear the cry sent
166  VI,   5|     brought about, that either the god helps none at all, if being
167  VI,   9|            than to acknowledge one god, and yet make supplication
168  VI,  10|          to dwell in heaven also a god such as the image which
169  VI,  10|           that it is an image of a god whom you cannot prove to
170  VI,  12|           for his work; the Delian god with a plectrum and lyre,
171  VI,  12| recognising each is put an end to, god may be believed to be god,
172  VI,  12|          god may be believed to be god, one may seem to be the
173  VI,  13|     inscribed on the finger of the god Pantarces is Beautiful,-
174  VI,  13|        religious dread to call the god by the name of a prostitute;
175  VI,  14|            folly to believe that a god which you yourself made
176  VI,  19|       there can be at one time one god in several images, nor,
177 VII,   2|            to speak of as the true God when we are led to mention
178 VII,   2|          mention His name. For one god differs from another in
179 VII,   3|        there so ignorant or what a god is, certainly, as to think
180 VII,   3|        ashes,-unless perchance the god seizes upon the souls of
181 VII,   3|            former juices. But if a god, as is said, has no body,
182 VII,   8|            if I kill a pig, that a god changes his state of mind,
183 VII,   8|            is brought to the angry god? Do the gods, then, make
184 VII,   9|             O Jupiter, or whatever god thou art, humane or right,
185 VII,  14|             when it is said that a god is honoured by a man, and
186 VII,  14|            to this issue, that the god who is exalted by human
187 VII,  15|          bull before the face of a god, and slay them in his sight?
188 VII,  15|           honour is it to invite a god to a banquet of blood, which
189 VII,  18|       grateful and pleasing to one god, while the other's fills
190 VII,  25|           desiring to learn what a god has to do with pottage,
191 VII,  30|          the truth. For what has a god to do with wine? or what
192 VII,  30|       honoured? What, I say, has a god to do with wine, which is
193 VII,  31|           what is the greed of the god, who, if he were not verbally
194 VII,  31|          is manifest both that the god is insulted to whom a limit
195 VII,  31|           much wine as you see the god wishes to be given to himself. "
196 VII,  34|            are unable to know what God is, what is His essence,
197 VII,  35|          it belongs to the supreme God to know by what methods
198 VII,  37|         which he may worship for a god, or slaughters an innocent
199 VII,  41|         will believe that he was a god who was pleased with horses
200 VII,  41|  Jupiter-whom you call the supreme god, and the creator of all
201 VII,  42|          one believe that he was a god who avenged and punished
202 VII,  43|            natural and befitting a god, to change the man's mind,
203 VII,  43|           man believe that he is a god who is so unjust, so impious,
204 VII,  44|          Aesculapius, you say, the god of health, from Epidaurus,
205 VII,  44|          an excellent, a venerable god, the giver of health, the
206 VII,  45|          another, he does not as a god fly secretly through the
207 VII,  45|           along with men; and that god of the common safety trusts
208 VII,  45|            you should say that the god changed himself into a snake,
209 VII,  45|           a defence is. For if the god shunned being seen by men,
210 VII,  45|           to whether he was a true god, or something different
211 VII,  46|          opponent, if he was not a god, why, after he left the
212 VII,  46|           how could it have been a god, seeing that it had those
213 VII,  46|            that that serpent was a god because with all speed it
214 VII,  46|            hand, that it was not a god.
215 VII,  47|        responses of the seers, the god Aesculapius was ordered
216 VII,  47|      without number? For since the god is said to have been summoned
217 VII,  48|            that the care of such a god has been denied to later
