 4  IV,  16|  ceremony: if, when we prepare sacrifices, and approach to make the
 5  IV,  31| ceremonies and rites neglected sacrifices and expiatory offerings
 6   V,   1|       king by what methods and sacrifices Jupiter could be called
 7   V,   1| thunder should be averted with sacrifices of human heads, not with
 8  VI,   1|         their images also, and sacrifices, and of the other things
 9  VI,   1|    blood of creatures slain in sacrifices, incense, nor sacrificial
10  VI,   2|      owe, nor demand expiatory sacrifices by threatening omens; should
11  VI,   5|     time beg of the deity with sacrifices what their wants compel
12  VI,  16|    discoloured by the steam of sacrifices, and by smoke,-how with
13  VI,  18|       it will be doubtful when sacrifices should be offered,-when
14 VII,   1| without any periphrasis, about sacrifices, about the slaughter and
15 VII,   1|      say, do you think that no sacrifices at all should be offered?
16 VII,   3|    reason, that you offer them sacrifices; and then, what gain comes
17 VII,   3|        of heaven live on these sacrifices, and must materials be supplied
18 VII,   3|  cannot touch? This reason for sacrifices is not valid, therefore,
19 VII,   3|        be said by any one that sacrifices are kept up for this reason,
20 VII,   4|   cause, then, for pleasure in sacrifices, as we see, nor is there
21 VII,   5|       popular conviction, that sacrifices are offered to the gods
22 VII,   6|     such disturbance, and that sacrifices are offered and sacred solemnities
23 VII,   6|      If we must meet them with sacrifices before their anger is roused,

25 VII,   9|      has been established that sacrifices are offered in vain for
26 VII,  10|       say, We give to the gods sacrifices and other gifts, that, being
27 VII,  11|        heap up the altars with sacrifices? Do we not see that some
28 VII,  12|  altars of the gods with equal sacrifices, and were to demand that
29 VII,  12|       by the acceptance of the sacrifices? For either they will give
30 VII,  14|     given to them by piling up sacrifices? Do they become more venerable,
31 VII,  16| artistic in the former kind of sacrifices, or less ingenious in the
32 VII,  17|        and to propose to offer sacrifices in your honour, not of other
33 VII,  17|  differ from that, since these sacrifices, also, if they are not yet,
34 VII,  17|      never again to offer such sacrifices to them. Is not this conduct
35 VII,  19|         But if the laws of the sacrifices enjoin that like sexes should
