84 XVIII | This is our answer. If all men could give up the active

112 XVIII | Him that He will send wise men and scribes, saying, "Behold,

115 XVIII | the Word reflects on bad men, and says that they are

120 XVIII | Christ is the Saviour of all men, specially of them that
121 XVIII | believe,370whether they be men of understanding, or more

123 XVIII | are true and which urge men to the pursuit of virtue?
124 XVIII | we surely see even the men in the market-places parading

126 XVIII | of what we read we invite men to the worship of the God
127 XVIII | discourses which invite men to a virtuous life, as has
128 XVIII | to assemble, are like the men in the market-places who
129 XVIII | Now Celsus says that these men to whom he compares us,
130 XVIII | whom he compares us, the men in the market-places parading
131 XVIII | an audience of sensible men, and we then venture in

141 XIX(387) | This is explained below, "Men are more or less fortunate

153 XX | as enmity so blinds these men that they are not aware
154 XX | office only for the sake of men, but even dogs and other
155 XX | what exists for the sake of men. And as a man is in error
156 XX | markets provide no more for men than dogs, for that the
157 XX | that the dogs as well as men enjoy the abundance of what
158 XX | they exist no more for us men than they do for plants,
159 XX | they are no more useful to men than they are to plants,
160 XX | roots, and thorns) grow for men, what reason is there for

162 XX | creature. And one of our wise men somewhere says, "Say not,
163 XX | For it was better that men who were not likely to search
164 XX | and weapons, and a lot of men, and dogs, to assist us
165 XX | weapons and nets were devised, men were carried off and devoured
166 XX | rarest chance captured by men." Now, in answer to this,
167 XX | observe that even though men capture the beasts and the
168 XX | and the beasts carry off men, there is a wide difference
169 XX | wide difference between men who prevail by intelligence,
170 XX | gives them the mastery over men, and who do not use their
171 XX | anything at all to do with men's being at the first captured
172 XX | beasts were not captured by men? Certainly, if the world
173 XX | between the Divine Nature and men. The poet of Ascra 399thought
174 XX | immortal gods and mortal men." ~7. And the Divine Word
175 XX | Moses, introducing the first men, makes them hear a more
176 XX | discovered various arts, men were able to live independent
177 XX | say that at the beginning "men were caught and eaten by
178 XX | hardly ever captured by men." And this shows the falsity
179 XX | respect at least God subjected men to the beasts, rather than
180 XX | beasts, rather than beasts to men." For God did not subject
181 XX | For God did not subject men to the beasts, but God gave
182 XX | taken by the intelligence of men, and by the arts which intelligence
183 XX | not without God's help did men devise the means of saving
184 XX | observe this, Celsus says: "If men seem to excel the irrational
185 XX | Towns, then, arose among men along with many arts and
186 XX | and regular warfare among men, if the necessity should
187 XX | labour, are for the sake of men, who require honey for many
188 XX | were compared to those of men; but men being able to learn
189 XX | compared to those of men; but men being able to learn through
190 XX | between the doings of us men and those of ants and bees?"
191 XX | and seeing the doings of men and ants: does he look upon
192 XX | look upon the bodies of men and ants, and not perceive
193 XX | and not perceive that in men the ruling principle is
194 XX | look upon the bodies of men and ants from such a distance,
195 XX | the common property of all men, and of beings heavenly
196 XX | magical powers as well as men; so that not even in this
197 XX | even in this respect can men claim special distinction,
198 XX | is what he tells us: "If men pique themselves on magic,
199 XX | and eagles are wiser than men in this respect also; they,
200 XX | saving their nestlings; when men come upon these stones they
201 XX | However, let us grant that men do pride themselves on their
202 XX | wiser on this showing than men, because they use fennel
203 XX | they are so constituted? Men do not arrive at such methods,
204 XX | are wise, or wiser than men, who because they have the
205 XX | numerous as they are among men. But the fact that the remedies
206 XX | and eagles are wiser than men. ~15. And wishing to show
207 XX | foreshow the future? Well, men learn the art from other
208 XX | God, and are wiser than men and dearer to God. And intelligent
209 XX | to God. And intelligent men tell us that the birds have
210 XX | more Divine than that of men. If he had thus shown a
211 XX | creatures are wiser than men, and we would have proved
212 XX | clearer conceptions than men. If this be indeed true,
213 XX | Divine nature, for they were men. So, according to Celsus,
214 XX | happen, so they may also rid men of their doubts respecting
215 XX | that birds are superior to men, should go to the birds
216 XX | creatures, for he believes that men have lower and meaner conceptions
217 XX | to fly to any place where men set snares and nets to catch
218 XX | and killing them, or of men trying to take them either
219 XX | ever have been captured by men, inasmuch as it was more
220 XX | more Divine and wiser than men. ~18. Moreover, if birds
221 XX | the poet says, and most men agree, "Olympian Jove himself
222 XX | nights and movements; so that men, caught in the snare of
223 XX | of animals. And as among men some are stronger than others,
224 XX | certain animals to deceive men, according to the pleasure
225 XX | such animals, and not to men, though men are present,
226 XX | and not to men, though men are present, are worthless,
227 XX | wherever omens are received by men, the soul of the medium
228 XX | says, "the gods," when we men sneeze, we sneeze, of course,
229 XX | irrational creatures nor ordinary men, but the holiest and purest
230 XX | holiest and purest souls of men, such as He inspires with
231 XX | among both bad and good men. Physicians, at all events,
232 XX | beforehand, though they may be men of bad character; and so,
233 XX | for the fact is that bad men, however high their attainments,
234 XX | intimacy with God: such men as our Prophets and Moses,
235 XX | creatures are dearer to God than men, these same creatures are
236 XX | creatures are dearer to God than men, may you be as dear to God
237 XX | are dearer to God than men!" And let him not suppose
238 XX | mortals, but to "intelligent" men; though in truth only the
239 XX | this fashion: "Intelligent men say that the creatures have
240 XX | more sacred than those of men. If, however, for the sake
241 XX | to believe that certain men, who have derived their
242 XX | information has been given to men by demons through certain
243 XX | signs, for the purpose of men being deceived by demons,
244 XX | the Divine Being than we men, and that they have a knowledge
245 XX | they make once for all with men, the keeping of an oath;
246 XX | tamed, fiercely attacking men and killing them, and of
247 XX | stork has more piety than men, our opponent adduces what
248 XX | creatures strong enough to shame men into showing gratitude to

250 XX | unique creature, not that men might marvel at the creature,
251 XX | is He angry on account of men any more than on account
252 XX | and flies; but inasmuch as men have transgressed the promptings
253 XXI | most licentious and savage men, if they will but follow
254 XXI | and the most licentious men frequently surpass in goodness
255 XXI | nature, while the most savage men change and become so gentle,
256 XXI | and become so gentle, that men who were never so savage
257 XXI | On the other hand, we see men of a different type, men
258 XXI | men of a different type, men of the utmost steadiness
259 XXI | This is our reply to those men. ~8. But we must raise another
260 XXI | destruction, seeing that men are punished by Him for
261 XXI | as it were, the rain; but men's different purposes 464
262 XXI | leaves the greater number of men without chastisement, so
263 XXI | God governs the souls of men, not, if I may so speak,
264 XXI | and retaliation which bad men display, or whatever they
265 XXI | speaking plainly, viz. "That men may not turn, and having
266 XXI | out of kindness to some men, not granting them to see
