 1  I, 5      |              anxieties every day, to say nothing of the great expense
 2  I, 5      |              Yet do not think that I say these things by way of reproaching
 3  I, 5      |              by me. For couldst thou say that ten thousand loved
 4  I, 7      |          Knowing his intention, they say, for none of his affairs
 5  I, 7      |              trick, lest they should say that our friendship was
 6  I, 7      |              never believe me when I say that you ranged Basil amongst
 7  I, 7      |              assailed by persons who say such things and worse, and
 8  I, 7      |           placed my very life, so to say, in your hands, yet you
 9  I, 7      |       advantage to others: but I did say that we should at least
10  I, 7      |           difficulties. What shall I say to the outside world? what
11  I, 8      |              this deadly craving - I say deadly, for if any one had
12 II, 1      |            Naturally then did Christ say, "Who then is the faithful
13 II, 2      |           these things, what does He say? "Tend my sheep." For those
14 II, 2      |         irrational creatures, not to say even greater, inasmuch as
15 II, 4      |              reason with himself and say, "Peradventure God will
16 II, 4      |       Rightly therefore did the Lord say that zeal for the flock
17 II, 4      |          tend His sheep, and yet you say that you decline to tend
18 II, 4      |              great desire for it, to say nothing of having confided
19 II, 4      |          thrust me into this danger: say, what answer shall I make
20 II, 4      |            pretext and excuse. But I say precisely the reverse: for
21 II, 4      |       without. For he did not simply say, "he must have a good report,"
22 II, 5      |             but shall prove that you say these things rather by way
23 II, 6      |             the things which I might say with a view to gratification.19
24 II, 6      |         gladly hear what you have to say. Wherefore, abandoning this
25 II, 7      |              are their charges? They say that they have been insulted
26 II, 7      |             Now in the first place I say that no account should be
27 II, 7      |             offend God. And I should say to those who are displeased
28 II, 7      |              from what I am about to say. For if indeed I had been
29 II, 7      |            For no one could possibly say that they were requiting
30 II, 7      |             men in question I should say that I had even honored
31 II, 8      |        accepted the office, I do not say all men, but those who take
32 II, 8      |          this honor: indeed I cannot say whether some one might not
33 II, 8      |           everything faultlessly, to say nothing of the many mistakes
34 II, 8      |                For although they may say these things on your account,
35 III, 1     |            herdsman, and yet were to say that a man who declined
36 III, 1     |           not the case; and they who say such things do not injure
37 III, 1     |        dignity of the angels, and to say that arrogance is the reason
38 III, 1     |              no account. But if they say that I have done this with
39 III, 3     |           what shall I now certainly say on account of these things?
40 III, 6     |              None whatever, I should say, unless it were one subject
41 III, 7     |              with what I am about to say. And what is this? "I could
42 III, 7     |           one asked me why? I should say, "Lest I should sink the
43 III, 9     |        commission to teach. Why do I say teach? for the blessed Paul
44 III, 9     |            But I have heard some one say that they have obtained
45 III, 10    |              of understanding do not say that the sword is to blame
46 III, 10    |          persons should think what I say incredible. But I am of
47 III, 11    |             persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against
48 III, 11    |         monster, it is impossible to say into what a furnace he will
49 III, 14    |         offences; and forces them to say and do many other things
50 III, 14(28)|                It is not possible to say precisely who the electors
51 III, 15    |          unfit for the office? And I say this now, not as wishing
52 III, 16    |     inexasperating (for what can one say to him who is overcome?),
53 III, 16    |            it is offered. And this I say not of myself, but borrow
54 III, 17    |     necessity. Now if any one should say that none of these things
55 III, 17    |              to such a man, one will say, and accosted him with a
56 III, 17    |          slight? It is impossible to say: but these considerations
57 IV, 1      |        enters upon it, can no longer say, "I have sinned in this
58 IV, 1      |              one day judge him, will say to him, "Since then thou
59 IV, 1      |             well,though thou weft to say ten thousand times over
60 IV, 1      |           ignorance)-for the sake, I say, of such that they might
61 IV, 1      |             king? And was he able to say to Samuel, when rebuked
62 IV, 1      |         sinned therein? But why do I say obtain it? not even had
63 IV, 1      |             who after hearing Christ say, "If I had not come and
64 IV, 1      |         escape the fire. Now, that I say not these things to frighten
65 IV, 2      |              those who are chosen to say in excuse for themselves, "
66 IV, 2      |             those who ordain them to say that they did not know him
67 IV, 2      |             who is elected could not say, "I am ignorant of myself,"
68 IV, 4      |          devil, it will be enough to say that unless the shepherd
69 IV, 4      |              will get pierced, so to say, with his own sword, and
70 IV, 4      |         distinguish the Persons, and say that the Father is one,
71 IV, 6      |           await our consideration, I say this much in the meantime.
72 IV, 6      |              to-day-not that I would say anything harsh or severe,
73 IV, 6      |          right. But St. Paul did not say that he was unskilled in
74 IV, 7      |          miracles, nor could any one say that the masses looked upon
75 IV, 8      |    forbearing;"55 and he proceeds to say, "But abide thou in the
76 IV, 8      |             sloth. But some one will say, "it is to the priests that
77 IV, 8      |            they do, and by what they say as well, bring their disciples
78 IV, 8      |            instruct others. Nor do I say this of myself; it is our
79 IV, 8      |         commandments, yet I dare not say that it alone could accomplish
80 IV, 9      |           awaits me there? Who would say so? surely no one, unless
81  V, 1      |             own part I should rather say that the thing itself is
82  V, 2      |            because he has nothing to say, so he who is carried away
83  V, 8      | unconquerable, so fierce; that is to say, public fame, and to cut
84 VI, 1      |       ignorance as his excuse, or to say, "I have never heard the
85 VI, 2      |         order that he may be able to say, "Now I live; and yet no
86 VI, 3      |              able to find - I do not say so as to avoid being forcibly
87 VI, 4      |            whole city - but why do I say the city? on behalf of the
88 VI, 4      |              be a many-sided man - I say many-sided, not unreal,
89 VI, 5      |             Priest? But no one could say this of the virtues of the
90 VI, 6      |              the multitude, I should say myself that such a life
91 VI, 7      |        before all. Now that I do not say these things out of mere
92 VI, 8      |            love - the spring one may say of all good-becomes the
93 VI, 9      |           the multitudes, nor did he say, "To whose mind did it ever
