16 1, XII | who did not do well, thou didst well for me; and by my own

24 2, III | I dare affirm that thou didst hold thy peace, O my God,
25 2, III | farther away from thee? Didst thou really then hold thy
26 2, III | faithful handmaid, thou didst pour into my ears? None

35 3, XI | thy hand from above”80 and didst draw up my soul out of that
36 3, XI | that I was dead. And thou didst hear her, O Lord, thou didst

44 4, III | looking after me. And thou didst fix all this in my memory
45 4, IV | make us marvel. Thus, thou didst take that man out of this

52 5, III | thy word, by which thou didst create all the things that
53 5, VI | because it is true - that thou didst teach me and that beside
54 5, VII | and by marvelous ways thou didst deal with me. For it was
55 5, VII | was thou, O my God, who didst it: for “the steps of a

64 5, VIII | complaints and groans which thou didst disregard, although, at
65 5, IX | thou, present everywhere, didst hear her where she was and
66 5, X | CHAPTER X~ ~18. Thou didst restore me then from that
67 5, X | then from that illness, and didst heal the son of thy handmaid
68 6, III | some corporeal form: thou didst create man after thy own
69 6, V | and calming my heart, thou didst persuade me that, if I took
70 6, V | into my consideration, thou didst persuade me that it was

73 6, VI | and matrimony; and thou didst mock me. In pursuit of these
74 6, VI | wretched she was! And thou didst irritate her sore wound
75 6, VI | that time, and how thou didst deal with me so as to make
76 6, VI | only to please. Thus thou didst break my bones with the
77 6, VIII | most merciful hand, thou didst pluck him and taught him
78 6, IX | for practice - and thou didst allow him to be arrested
79 6, IX | believe, O my God, that thou didst allow this for no other

86 6, III | where I thought that thou didst suffer evil, rather than
87 6, VII | found no answer. But thou didst not allow me to be carried
88 6, VII | subjected to me what thou didst create lower than I. And
89 6, VIII | and by inward stings thou didst disturb me so that I was
90 6, IX | dwelt among men,”185 thou didst procure for me, through
91 6, IX | after that gold which thou didst allow thy people to take
92 6, X | I first knew thee, thou didst lift me up, that I might
93 6, X | fit to see it. And thou didst beat back the weakness of

96 6, XV | who alone art eternal, didst not begin to work after
97 6, XVIII | thy wisdom, by which thou didst create all things, might
98 6, XXI | coeternal with thyself, and didst create in the beginning

100 7, I | the strait gate.~And thou didst put it into my mind, and

103 7, II | didst bow the heavens and didst descend, who didst touch
104 7, II | heavens and didst descend, who didst touch the mountains and
105 7, II | smoked,”242 by what means didst thou find thy way into that
106 7, IV | apostles” by whose tongue thou didst sound forth these words.
107 7, V | On all sides, thou didst show me that thy words are
108 7, VI | and my redeemer, how thou didst deliver me from the chain
109 7, VI | inwardly changed, as thou didst see, and the world dropped
110 7, VII | self-scrutiny. And now thou didst set me face to face with
111 7, XI | held. And thou, O Lord, didst press upon me in my inmost
112 7, XII | doleful lamentations. For thou didst so convert me to thee that
113 7, XII | dream about me. And so thou didst turn her grief into gladness
114 8, I | merciful, and thy right hand didst reach into the depth of
115 8, I | the depth of my death and didst empty out the abyss of corruption
116 8, I | to will to do what thou didst will.~But where was my free
117 8, I | feared to lose. For thou didst cast them away from me,
118 8, I | highest Sweetness. Thou didst cast them away, and in their
119 8, I | and in their place thou didst enter in thyself - sweeter
120 8, III | Christianity. Then thou didst release him from the flesh,
121 8, IV | And it was done. And thou didst deliver my tongue as thou
122 8, IV | great blessings which thou didst bestow on us in that time,
123 8, IV | inward goads by which thou didst subdue me and how thou broughtest
124 8, IV | by what means thou also didst subdue Alypius, my heart’
125 8, IV | of my righteousness, thou didst hear me; thou didst enlarge
126 8, IV | thou didst hear me; thou didst enlarge me when I was in
127 8, IV | mercy. During that time thou didst torture me with a toothache;
128 8, VI | sin. For it was thou who didst inspire us to foster him
129 8, VI | of such marvels? And thou didst quickly remove his life
130 8, VIII | nor trained herself. Thou didst create her, and neither
131 8, VIII | who are set over us. What didst thou do at that time, O
132 8, VIII | that time, O my God? How didst thou heal her? How didst
133 8, VIII | didst thou heal her? How didst thou make her whole? Didst
134 8, VIII | didst thou make her whole? Didst thou not bring forth from
135 8, IX | other great gift thou also didst bestow, O my God, my Mercy,
136 8, IX | thine, in whose womb thou didst create me. It was that whenever
137 8, IX | most intimate instructor, didst teach her in the school
138 8, XII | heal my sorrow; but thou didst not. I now believe that
139 8, XIII | that from the time thou didst regenerate her by baptism
140 8, XIII | Medicine of our wounds, who didst hang upon the tree and who
141 8, XIII | husband; by whose flesh thou didst bring me into this life,
142 9, II | kind from me which thou didst not first say to me.~
143 9, IV | For he is the Selfsame who didst beget me and who watcheth
144 9, XXVII | they were in thee. Thou didst call and cry aloud, and
145 9, XXVII | call and cry aloud, and didst force open my deafness.
146 9, XXVII | force open my deafness. Thou didst gleam and shine, and didst
147 9, XXVII | didst gleam and shine, and didst chase away my blindness.
148 9, XXVII | away my blindness. Thou didst breathe fragrant odors and
149 9, XXVII | hunger and thirst. Thou didst touch me, and I burned for

151 9, XXXIII| more powerfully, but thou didst unbind and liberate me.
152 9, XXXIV | let God possess it, he who didst make all these things very
153 9, XXXVI | me, for first of all thou didst heal me of the lust for
154 9, XXXVI | things.”381 It was thou who didst restrain my pride with thy
155 9, XXXVI | light” to me, because thou didst promise it to be so, and
156 9, XLIII | loved us, O good Father, who didst not spare thy only Son,
157 9, XLIII | spare thy only Son, but didst deliver him up for us wicked
158 9, XLIII | the wilderness. But thou didst forbid me, and thou didst
159 9, XLIII | didst forbid me, and thou didst strengthen me, saying that “

161 10, II | and us; through whom thou didst seek us when we were not
162 10, II | were not seeking thee, but didst seek us so that we might
163 10, V | CHAPTER V~ ~7. But how didst thou make the heaven and
164 10, V | he makes anything; thou didst create the capacity by which
165 10, V | Creator of them all. But how didst thou make them? How, O God,
166 10, V | thou make them? How, O God, didst thou make the heaven and
167 10, V | neither in heaven nor on earth didst thou make heaven and earth -
168 10, V | Nowhere in the whole world didst thou make the whole world,
169 10, V | before it was made. And thou didst not hold anything in thy
170 10, V | because thou art? Thus thou didst speak and they were made,422
171 10, V | and by thy Word thou didst make them all.~
172 10, VI | CHAPTER VI~ ~8. But how didst thou speak? Was it in the
173 10, VI | sound and fade away thou didst say that heaven and earth
174 10, VI | it was out of which thou didst make the time-bound voice
175 10, VI | time-bound voice by which thou didst say, “Let the heaven and
176 10, XIII | Architect of heaven and earth, didst for ages unnumbered abstain
177 10, XIII | great a work before thou didst actually do it, let him
178 10, XIII | unnumbered ages that thou didst not make pass by, since
179 10, XIII | eternity. Therefore, thou didst generate the Coeternal,
180 10, XIII | Coeternal, to whom thou didst say, “This day I have begotten
181 10, XXXI | in thy knowledge, so thou didst make heaven and earth in
182 11, II | I carry about me - thou didst make.~But where is that
183 11, III | since it had no form. Thou didst command it written that “
184 11, III | O Lord, that before thou didst form and separate this formless
185 11, IV | formlessness of matter - which thou didst create without shapely form,
186 11, VII | born of thy substance, thou didst create something and that
187 11, VII | of nothing.466 For thou didst create the heaven and the
188 11, VII | nothing at all that thou didst create the heaven and earth -
189 11, VII | nothing else from which thou didst create heaven and earth:
190 11, VIII | but the earth which thou didst give to the sons of men
191 11, VIII | unformed matter, and this thou didst make out of nothing and
192 11, VIII | make out of nothing and didst make it into almost nothing.
193 11, VIII | and the waters which thou didst make on the second day after
194 11, VIII | This firmament thou didst call heaven, that is, the
195 11, VIII | is almost nothing, thou didst then make all these things
196 11, IX | heaven of heavens which thou didst create in the beginning
197 11, XII | no hold upon it. But thou didst not leave this formless,
198 11, XII | in the beginning, thou didst create heaven and earth -
199 11, XIII | not say on what day thou didst create these things. Thus,
200 11, XV | in the beginning, thou didst create the heaven and earth.
201 11, XIX | true, O Lord, that thou didst create the heaven and the
202 11, XIX | thy wisdom in which thou didst create all things. It is
203 11, XXVIII| in thy own likeness, thou didst make from nothing the form
204 11, XXX | will believe that when thou didst reveal thyself to him, and
205 12, I | Mercy, who madest me and didst not forget me, though I
206 12, I | into my soul, which thou didst prepare for thy reception
207 12, I | when I call on thee, who didst anticipate me before I called
208 12, I | before I called and who didst repeatedly urge with manifold
209 12, I | madest me from. For thou didst not stand in need of me,
210 12, II | heaven and earth, which thou didst make in the beginning, ever
211 12, IV | remained unformed? Thou didst not create them out of any
212 12, VIII | showest clearly how noble thou didst make the rational creation,
213 12, XV | Now who but thee, our God, didst make for us that firmament
214 12, XV | mortal men through whom thou didst dispense it to us have departed
215 12, XV | Lord, thou knowest how thou didst clothe men with skins when
216 12, XV | eternally; because thou didst range them above this firmament
217 12, XVIII | was made, and before thou didst divide between the light
218 12, XX | fair, and yet, lo, thou who didst make all things art inexpressibly
219 12, XXII | this world,” which thou didst speak through thy apostle,
220 12, XXII | then will follow what thou didst immediately add when thou
221 12, XXII | a better man - for thou didst not say, “Let man be made
222 12, XXII | God.”623 Therefore thou didst not say, “Let man be made,”
223 12, XXII | Let us make man.” And thou didst not say, “After his kind,”
224 12, XXIV | something [allegorically]? Why didst thou not also bless the
225 12, XXIV | I might reply that thou didst will to bestow this gift
226 12, XXVI | suffer need, in thee who didst strengthen him. And so he
227 12, XXVIII| XXVIII~ ~43. And thou, O God, didst see everything that thou
228 12, XXVIII| kind of thy work, when thou didst say, “Let them be made,”
229 12, XXVIII| and they were made, thou didst see that it was good. I
230 12, XXVIII| it is written that thou didst see what thou hadst made
231 12, XXVIII| the eighth time when thou didst see all things that thou
232 12, XXIX | or eight times that thou didst see thy works were good,
233 12, XXIX | thou madest each day thou didst see to be good; and when
234 12, XXIX | To these things, thou didst reply to me, for thou art
235 12, XXX | say that many of them thou didst make under the compulsion
236 12, XXX | the stars - and that thou didst not make them out of what
237 12, XXX | thus [they say] that thou didst collect and fashion and
238 12, XXX | thy conquered enemies thou didst raise up the walls of the
239 12, XXX | things, they say that thou didst neither make them nor arrange
240 12, XXXIII| the same time that thou didst form its formlessness, without
241 12, XXXIII| earth is another thing, thou didst create matter out of absolutely
242 12, XXXIII| the form of the world thou didst form from formless matter (
243 12, XXXIV | the question of what thou didst desire to figure forth,
244 12, XXXIV | But when, in time, thou didst begin to unfold the things
245 12, XXXIV | us in due season - thou didst justify the ungodly and
246 12, XXXIV | justify the ungodly and also didst divide them from the wicked;
247 12, XXXIV | subject to them. And thou didst gather the society of unbelievers652
248 12, XXXIV | heavenly riches. Then thou didst kindle the lights in the
249 12, XXXIV | unbelieving nations, thou didst out of physical matter produce
250 12, XXXIV | blessed. After this thou didst form “the living soul” of
251 12, XXXIV | continence. And then thou didst renew, after thy image and
252 12, XXXIV | human authority. Thus, thou didst subordinate rational action
253 12, XXXIV | faithful in this life, thou didst will that these same faithful
254 12, XXXV | which were very good, thou didst rest on the seventh day,
|
