31 III | MEDITATION III~ ~OF GOD: THAT HE EXISTS~
32 III, 4 | it occurred to me that a God might perhaps have given
33 III, 4 | the sovereign power of a God presents itself to my mind,
34 III, 4 | inquire whether there is a God, as soon as an opportunity
35 III, 4 | if I find that there is a God, I must examine likewise
36 III, 5 | chimera, the sky, an angel or God. Others, again, have certain
37 III, 13| idea by which I conceive a God sovereign], eternal, infinite,
38 III, 17| is one that represents a God; others that represent corporeal
39 III, 18| corporeal things, and of God, although they were, apart
40 III, 22| therefore, the idea of God, in which I must consider
41 III, 22| with myself. By the name God, I understand a substance
42 III, 22| I have before said, that God exists. ~
43 III, 24| that is, the perception of God before that of myself, for
44 III, 25| be said that this idea of God is perhaps materially false,
45 III, 25| although there may be in God an infinity of things that
46 III, 25| formally or eminently in God, in order that the idea
47 III, 26| perfections which I attribute to God, in some way exist potentially
48 III, 27| increase. But I conceive God as actually infinite, so
49 III, 28| who possess this idea of God, could exist supposing there
50 III, 28| supposing there were no God. ~
51 III, 29| causes less perfect than God; for anything more perfect,
52 III, 29| perfect, or even equal to God, cannot be thought or imagined. ~
53 III, 30| idea, and I should thus be God. And it must not be imagined
54 III, 30| contained in the idea of God, because there is none of
55 III, 33| whom I am dependent is not God, and I have been produced
56 III, 33| possess in myself an idea of God, whatever in the end be
57 III, 33| down, that this cause is God; for, since it possesses
58 III, 33| I conceive to belong to God. But if it owe its existence
59 III, 33| ultimate cause, which will be God. ~
60 III, 35| in a single being who is God; for, on the contrary, the
61 III, 36| absolutely perfect, that is, of God, that his existence is most
62 III, 37| received this idea from God; for I have not drawn it
63 III, 38| not to be wondered at that God, at my creation, implanted
64 III, 38| but considering only that God is my creator, it is highly
65 III, 38| is contained the idea of God, by the same faculty by
66 III, 38| actually, and that he is thus God. And the whole force of
67 III, 38| establish the existence of God, consists in this, that
68 III, 38| in my mind the idea of a God, if God did not in reality
69 III, 38| mind the idea of a God, if God did not in reality exist --
70 III, 38| reality exist -- this same God, I say, whose idea is in
71 III, 39| in the contemplation of God himself -- that I may ponder
72 IV, 1 | mind, and still more of God himself. I am thus able
73 IV, 1 | being, that is to say of God, occurs to my mind with
74 IV, 1 | exist, the conclusions that God exists, and that my own
75 IV, 1 | contemplation of the true God, in whom are contained all
76 IV, 2 | accordingly, cannot be found in God. ~
77 IV, 3 | doubtless received from God, along with whatever else
78 IV, 4 | if all I possess be from God, and if he planted in me
79 IV, 4 | that when I think only of God (when I look upon myself
80 IV, 4 | upon myself as coming from God, Fr. ), and turn wholly
81 IV, 4 | real and positive idea of God, or of a being supremely
82 IV, 4 | it were, a mean between God and nothing, or placed in
83 IV, 4 | depends for its existence on God, but is simply defect; and
84 IV, 4 | it, it is not necessary God should have given me a faculty
85 IV, 4 | circumstance that the power which God has given me of discerning
86 IV, 5 | considering the nature of God, it seems impossible that
87 IV, 5 | assuredly there is no doubt that God could have created me such
88 IV, 6 | comprehending the reasons why God acts as he does; nor must

94 IV, 8 | incomparably greater in God than in myself, as well
95 IV, 8 | and goodness, or because God thus internally disposes
96 IV, 9 | which I have received from God, is of itself the source
97 IV, 9 | means of the faculty that God bestowed upon me, all that
98 IV, 12| faculty which I received from God, nor even in the act, in
99 IV, 13| reason to complain that God has not given me a greater
100 IV, 13| reason to render thanks to God, who owed me nothing, for
101 IV, 15| not also to complain that God concurs with me in forming
102 IV, 15| so far as they depend on God; and the ability to form
103 IV, 15| and if it be referred to God as to its cause, it ought
104 IV, 15| right to complain because God, who placed me in the world,
105 IV, 17| but must of necessity have God for its author -- God,
106 IV, 17| have God for its author -- God, I say, who, as supremely

109 V, 7 | argument for the existence of God? It is certain that I no
110 V, 7 | less find the idea of a God in my consciousness, that
111 V, 7 | false, the existence of God would pass with me for a
112 V, 8 | separated from the essence of God, and that thus God may be
113 V, 8 | essence of God, and that thus God may be conceived as not
114 V, 8 | separated from the essence of God, than the idea of a mountain
115 V, 8 | impossible to conceive a God, that is, a being supremely
116 V, 9 | truth, I cannot conceive a God unless as existing, any
117 V, 9 | likewise, though I conceive God as existing, it does not
118 V, 9 | follow on that account that God exists; for my thought imposes
119 V, 9 | perhaps attribute existence to God, though no God existed. ~
120 V, 9 | existence to God, though no God existed. ~
121 V, 10| because I cannot conceive God unless as existing, it follows
122 V, 10| necessity of the existence of God, determines me to think
123 V, 10| in my power to conceive a God without existence, that
124 V, 11| necessary to admit that God exists, after having supposed
125 V, 11| of which is the idea of God. For indeed I discern on
126 V, 11| conceive no other being, except God, to whose essence existence
127 V, 11| being supposed that one such God exists, I clearly see that

131 V, 14| if I did not know that God existed; and thus I should
132 V, 14| not know that there is a God: for I may persuade myself
133 V, 15| after I have discovered that God exists, seeing I also at
134 V, 16| knowledge alone of the true God, insomuch that, before I
135 V, 16| matters, as well relative to God himself and other intellectual
136 VI, 1 | there can be no doubt that God possesses the power of producing

138 VI, 9 | separately, by the omnipotence of God; and it matters not by what
139 VI, 10| in those ideas; or it is God himself, or some other creature,
140 VI, 10| contained eminently. But as God is no deceiver, it is manifest
141 VI, 11| on the ground alone that God is no deceiver, and that
142 VI, 11| understand nothing more than God himself, or the order and

150 VI, 17| as having been formed by God for the sake of the motions
