  1 pre  |           take place which we hold with regard to Christ. I request
  2 pre  |         prefix this brief preface, with the heads of the whole work,
  3 I, 1 |   gratifying, I will take to argue with me one of those persons
  4 I, 2 |         believe that I am in error with regard to the substance
  5 I, 2 |   difficult, which by acquaintance with them become easy.~Boso.
  6 I, 2 |           You can speak so briefly with regard to these things,
  7 I, 2 |            so also it may fall out with me if I should undertake
  8 I, 2 |        those asking the same thing with me.~Anselm.. Since I observe
  9 I, 2 |        those who desire this thing with you, out of love and pious
 10 I, 2 |          to the best of my ability with the assistance of God and
 11 I, 2 |       inquire about, as to inquire with you. But I wish all that
 12 I, 2 |          that I say to be received with this understanding, that,
 13 I, 2 |           it is not to be received with any further confidence,
 14 I, 3 |            which seem incompatible with Deity, that he endured fatigue,
 15 I, 3 |           God, but give him thanks with all the heart, praising
 16 I, 3 |  simplicity, but would rather join with us in praising the wise
 17 I, 5 |        servant of God and an equal with the holy angels, would now
 18 I, 6 |            How infidels find fault with us for saying that God has
 19 I, 6 |        vanquish the devil for you, with what meaning dare you allege
 20 I, 6 |           These are the objections with which infidels think they
 21 I, 7 |          it were, to try a contest with the devil in justice, before
 22 I, 7 |           devil had not seized man with violence, but man had freely
 23 I, 7 |        what cause ought God to try with his own creature (de suo,
 24 I, 7 |            himself a fellow-thief, with what he had stolen from
 25 I, 7 |           sins ought not to escape with impunity, unless pity spare
 26 I, 8 |     anything if it be inconsistent with reason.~Anselm.. What do
 27 I, 8 |           do you find inconsistent with reason, in our confessing
 28 I, 8 |           which make up our belief with regard to his incarnation?~
 29 I, 8 |         Almighty should do a thing with such toil.~Anselm.. They
 30 I, 9 |         used because he had agreed with the Father and the Holy
 31 I, 9 |            in wisdom, and in favor with God; not that this was really
 32 I, 9 |           of safety, in accordance with which human nature shrank
 33 I, 9 |     accomplish it, availed as much with the Son, who so earnestly
 34 I, 0 |          which he suffered. For as with regard to that will which
 35 I, 0 |         who desires to endure pain with fortitude for the accomplishment
 36 I, 0 |          though he was not pleased with his suffering. Moreover,
 37 I, 0 |            explained in accordance with the belief that he died,
 38 I, 0 |            Father should acquiesce with such a Son in his desire,
 39 I, 0 |            things which we believe with regard to his taking human
 40 I, 2 |          by unpunished, viz., that with God there will be no difference
 41 I, 2 |        apply to him for indulgence with regard to those offences
 42 I, 2 |          may not seem to interfere with His dignity. For there is
 43 I, 2 |            is the case. Therefore, with regard to these things,
 44 I, 3 |    Therefore God maintains nothing with more justice than the honor
 45 I, 3 |        dignity.~Boso. I must agree with you.~Anselm.. Does it seem
 46 I, 6 |      questions.~Boso. Be not angry with me; "for the Lord loveth
 47 I, 7 |         its apparent inconsistency with the completeness of the
 48 I, 7 |      together, had the good sinned with the bad, so, had the unholy
 49 I, 7 |          had the unholy stood firm with the holy, they would have
 50 I, 8 |         how ought they to be happy with this fault? With what temerity,
 51 I, 8 |          be happy with this fault? With what temerity, then, do
 52 I, 8 |           sure that they were made with a view to the perfection
 53 I, 8 |           renewed at the same time with the superior, might, as
 54 I, 8 |           of the saints we delight with festive triumph, rejoicing
 55 I, 8 |          advanced to that equality with angels to which men were
 56 I, 8 |         would have been confirmed, with all their offspring, so
 57 I, 8 |            wholly won over to sin (with the single exception of
 58 I, 8 |             This is not discordant with the previous opinion, if
 59 I, 8 |          evil angels. But remember with what condition I undertook
 60 I, 8 |          yet it should be received with no further certainty than
 61 I, 8 |            longer hold it. But if, with regard to subjects in which
 62 I, 8 |           likeness to and equality with angels, and all who live
 63 I, 9 |         angels as would correspond with the number whose place they
 64 I, 9 |           that men should be equal with good angels.~Anselm.. Have
 65 I, 9 |           be raised to an equality with holy beings.~Boso. Reason
 66 I, 9 |           the question of equality with the angels, whether God
 67 I, 9 |        allowed the devil, inflamed with envy, to cast him into the
 68 I, 9 |          mire of sin, though truly with man's consent? For, had
 69 I, 9 |            he restore man, stained with the defilement of sin, unwashed,
 70 I, 9 |           which things is possible with God.~Anselm.. Therefore,
 71 I, 9 |       prayer is properly connected with the payment; for God owes
 72 I, 9 |            not become man to treat with God as with an equal. But
 73 I, 9 |           man to treat with God as with an equal. But of this it
 74 I, 9 |         question.~Boso. Your reply with regard to this matter suffices
 75 I, 0 |            unfitness is impossible with God.~Anselm.. Tell me, then,
 76 I, 0 |         which at present, together with the great danger of never
 77 I, 1 |            such necessity, and ask with regard to this sin only
 78 I, 1 |          no loss that will compare with it; but sometimes we oppose
 79 I, 2 |           to be reconciled to Him, with this calumnious reproach
 80 I, 3 |           and, as it were, tainted with sin, and God will not choose
 81 I, 4 |           must be said to dispense with one of two things, viz.,
 82 I, 4 |         God cannot be inconsistent with himself, his compassion
 83 I, 4 |          saved without paying? Or, with what face shall we declare
 84 I, 4 |         hasten to unite themselves with us, who do not doubt that
 85 I, 5 |   unfitting for God to elevate man with any stain upon him, to that
 86 I, 5 |          wish you would go further with me, and enable me to understand,
 87 I, 5 |     Catholic faith enjoins upon us with regard to Christ, if we
 88 I, 5 |             and will do what I can with his help. But let us separate
 89 II, 2|           said, it is inconsistent with God's wisdom and justice
 90 II, 3|     CHAPTER III.~How man will rise with the same body which he has
 91 II, 3|           to have been transferred with the same body to an immortal
 92 II, 3|      restored, it must properly be with his own body as he lived
 93 II, 3|          that this is right enough with regard to those in whom
 94 II, 4|         complete what he has begun with regard to human nature,
 95 II, 5|     undertook or maintains it, not with any constraint, but freely.
 96 II, 5|   to-morrow, you do give to-morrow with the same willingness; though
 97 II, 5|        holy life of necessity, but with the same freedom with which
 98 II, 5|          but with the same freedom with which he took the vow. Much
 99 II, 6|        have made a great discovery with regard to our question.
100 II, 7|       which is God not be the same with that which is man, it is
101 II, 8|       produce all that he intended with regard to human nature from
102 II, 8|           other men.~Boso. I agree with you.~Anselm.. Therefore
103 II, 9|            can unite in one person with man. ~Anselm.. Now must
104 II, 9|        though having nothing to do with man, will yet be the grandson
105 II, 9|   punishment or pardon of guilt is with peculiar propriety ascribed
106 II, 9|            God the Word must unite with man in one person.~Boso.
107 II, 0|           it is no slight question with me whether it be said that
108 II, 0|            to our original inquiry with regard to that man, as if
109 II, 0|          so.~Anselm.. What say you with respect to God, who cannot

111 II, 0|         unholy yet did not, we say with propriety that he conferred
112 II, 0|         one of them to be the same with God, as we say that man
113 II, 0|         least the Word, into unity with men at that time, I answer:
114 II, 0|          asked the question. Go on with what you have to say.~Anselm..
115 II, 0|         sinner.~Boso. I must agree with you.~ ~
116 II, 1|             We need hardly dispute with regard to this, since he
117 II, 1|       Speak you, and I will listen with pleasure.~Anselm.. If man
118 II, 1|             Anselm.. If man sinned with ease, is it not fitting
119 II, 1|           fitting for him to atone with difficulty? And if he was
120 II, 1|            by conquering the devil with the greatest possible difficulty?
121 II, 1|       happiness, when he conversed with men, and when he taught
122 II, 3|           CHAPTER XIII.~How, along with our other weaknesses, he
123 II, 3|             That union of humanity with the Divine person will not
124 II, 3|      effected except in accordance with the highest wisdom; and,
125 II, 3|            so there can be no evil with which he is unacquainted.
126 II, 3|         show it in his intercourse with men.~Boso. In his more mature
127 II, 3|            doubt the truth of this with respect to Christ, yet,
128 II, 4|        ought to say this, not only with regard to killing him, but
129 II, 4|           for a moment be compared with a bodily injury inflicted
130 II, 5|          Boso. This is properly so with regard to all sins not affecting
131 II, 5|          that transcendental crime with which none others can be
132 II, 6|           should be surprised, but with reverence should allow of
133 II, 6|        lose his existence together with its design; though he never
134 II, 6|            provinces had rebelled, with but a single exception of
135 II, 6|       blameless had so great favor with the king, and so deep love
136 II, 6|        ever a time when the world, with the creatures made for the
137 II, 6|          kingdom, as I said above, with regard to the palace of
138 II, 7|           Anselm.. In like manner, with regard to the preservation
139 II, 7|         God took the nature of man with this desire, viz., that
140 II, 8|            CHAPTER XVIII (a).~How, with God there is neither necessity
141 II, 8|          neither do they interfere with his acting or not acting,
142 II, 8|          else, precisely as I said with regard to the affirmation
143 II, 8|        vice versa. But when we say with regard to God, that anything
144 II, 8|            was in him any weakness with regard to preserving or
145 II, 8|          does it of necessity, but with the same freedom with which
146 II, 8|          but with the same freedom with which he made the resolution.
147 II, 8|           case. And, if this is so with regard to man, much less
148 II, 8|              I think we have shown with sufficient clearness how
149 II, 8| consideration; let us be satisfied with this account of the matter,
150 II, 8|           Boso. As you choose; but with this condition that, by
151 II, 8|           remains to be unravelled with regard to the question which
152 II, 8|         which involves many others with it?~Boso. The substance
153 II, 8|         should take man into unity with his own person; so that
154 II, 9|         perceive that when he bore with gentle patience the insults
155 II, 9|           illustrious a personage, with such willingness.~Boso.
156 II, 9|          he leaves the alternative with him, so that, though one
157 II, 9|         God and man, in connection with his human nature, which
158 II, 0|            cannot describe the joy with which my heart exults. For
159 II, 1|            great and so consistent with his holiness, as to be incomparably
160 II, 1|            than all debt, if given with the love which he deserves.~ ~
161 II, 2|           viz , that, as they fell with none to plot their fall,
162 II, 2|            fall, so they must rise with none to aid them; but this
