  1 I, 2 |         which I think this subject can hardly, or not at all, be
  2 I, 2 |          another that none of them can be fully examined without
  3 I, 2 |        them become easy.~Boso. You can speak so briefly with regard
  4 I, 2 |         what remains to be said we can put off to another time.~
  5 I, 2 |           one to talk better if he can, so you preclude none from
  6 I, 2 |            that for all that a man can say or know still deeper
  7 I, 6 |           but did not wish to, how can you vindicate his wisdom,
  8 I, 6 |          to his will, whom nothing can oppose. If, then, God were
  9 I, 6 |          which infidels think they can withstand us.~ ~
 10 I, 7 |           any but God, and neither can exist without the exertion
 11 I, 7 |     account of this writing, there can be found any justice on
 12 I, 7 |          so in an evil angel there can be no justice at all. There
 13 I, 9 |           didicit," which is used, can be understood in two ways.
 14 I, 9 |           only in a boat, though I can cross it in a boat or on
 15 I, 0 |             and how otherwise they can be correctly explained. ~
 16 I, 0 |            In other ways, also, we can properly explain the Father'
 17 I, 0 |      accustomed to say that he who can prevent a thing but does
 18 I, 0 |           how the death of the Son can be proved reasonable and
 19 I, 0 |            life, and that no being can ever arrive at happiness,
 20 I, 1 |          such a will only, when it can be exercised, that does
 21 I, 2 |         that nothing more merciful can be conceived; and nothing
 22 I, 2 |            is not God. For no will can ever wish to lie, unless
 23 I, 3 |            nothing more reasonable can be said.~ ~
 24 I, 5 |        preserved.~Anselm.. Nothing can be added to or taken from
 25 I, 5 |       there is no place where they can be but under the heavens,
 26 I, 5 |         but under the heavens, nor can they fly from the heavens
 27 I, 5 |          is then plain that no one can honor or dishonor God, as
 28 I, 5 |            I know of nothing which can be said against this.~Anselm..
 29 I, 6 |      Anselm.. But this restoration can only be made from human
 30 I, 7 |           angels. But show, if you can, whether it will be greater.~ ~
 31 I, 8 |     Genesis, I do not think that I can prove from this either of
 32 I, 8 |        exaltation, because the one can never take place without
 33 I, 8 |       place without the other; how can they be justified in this
 34 I, 8 |           you that any one of them can have this certainty, if
 35 I, 8 |          ought to have it. For how can any one know whether he
 36 I, 8 |          the fallen angels, no one can or ought to know that he
 37 I, 8 |           Boso. I see not how this can be denied.~Anselm.. I think
 38 I, 8 |          think that another reason can be brought to support this
 39 I, 8 |         sons of Abraham." And they can also properly be called "
 40 I, 9 |         sinned?~Boso. No.~Anselm.. Can you think that man, who
 41 I, 9 |        sinned?~Boso. These words I can both think of and utter,
 42 I, 9 |            think of and utter, but can no more perceive their meaning
 43 I, 9 |      perceive their meaning than I can make truth out of falsehood.~
 44 I, 9 |          attend to it as well as I can.~Anselm.. Suppose a rich
 45 I, 9 |          him a wise man?~Boso. How can I? for would it not be far
 46 I, 9 |     therefore do not admit that he can do this. For it should seem
 47 I, 9 |           payment of the debt, God can neither pass by the sin
 48 I, 9 |            the sin unpunished, nor can the sinner attain that happiness,
 49 I, 9 |          clearly shown that no man can attain happiness in sin,
 50 I, 0 |          that you are and have and can become?~Boso. Truly I dare
 51 I, 1 |            us inquire whether they can satisfy for a sin so small
 52 I, 1 |           the will of God.~Boso. I can find no motive which would
 53 I, 1 |          this sin only whether you can do it even for your own
 54 I, 1 |          should all things perish, can restore them as easily as
 55 I, 1 |           s will, what payment you can make for this sin?~Boso.
 56 I, 1 |         make for this sin?~Boso. I can only repeat what I said
 57 I, 2 |            the devil; for which be can make no satisfaction. ~Anselm..
 58 I, 2 |             that nothing which you can add will alarm me more.~
 59 I, 3 |       begun, the evil things which can be added to those already
 60 I, 3 |        right.~Boso. Surely nothing can be more exactly or justly
 61 I, 3 |           you that supreme justice can violate this justice?~Boso.
 62 I, 3 |          to fill. But a sinful man can by no means do this, for
 63 I, 4 |           he owes God.~Boso. If he can pay and yet does not, he
 64 I, 4 |       disabled himself, so that he can neither escape his previous
 65 I, 4 |         that inability by which he can neither do right and avoid
 66 I, 4 |          is nothing wanting, so it can belong to no one who is
 67 I, 4 |           not pay God what he owes can never be happy.~Boso. I
 68 I, 4 |           be unjust.~Boso. Nothing can be plainer.~Anselm.. But
 69 I, 4 |          think that any objections can be brought against these
 70 I, 4 |           see not how your reasons can be at all invalidated.~Anselm..
 71 I, 4 |       request them to tell how man can be saved without Christ.
 72 I, 4 |          who do not doubt that man can be saved through Christ;
 73 I, 5 |       sufficiently proved that man can be saved by Christ, when
 74 I, 5 |      infidels do not deny that man can be happy somehow, and it
 75 I, 5 |          out of view, no salvation can be found for man? For, either
 76 I, 5 |         Christ or by some one else can man be saved, or else not
 77 I, 5 |           be saved all, or that he can be saved in any other way,
 78 I, 5 |           not understanding how he can be saved by Christ, sees
 79 I, 5 |         does not understand how it can be?~Boso. That he is a fool.~
 80 I, 5 |   Christian faith, which no reason can show; or else we must accept
 81 I, 5 |            God, and will do what I can with his help. But let us
 82 II, 1|         choose holiness; and there can be no reason why it should
 83 II, 4|              From these things, we can easily see that God will
 84 II, 4|          Boso. No reasonable being can think otherwise.~Anselm..
 85 II, 4|            of sin, which no sinner can effect for himself.~Boso.
 86 II, 5|       salvation of man. How, then, can it be denied that he does
 87 II, 6|         being, except the God-man, can make the atonement by which
 88 II, 6|           is necessary that he who can give God anything of his
 89 II, 6|             Therefore none but God can make this satisfaction.~
 90 II, 6|           made, which none but God can make and none but man ought
 91 II, 6|            must we inquire how God can become man.~ ~
 92 II, 7|           or the human Divine; nor can they be so commingled as
 93 II, 8|      source.~Anselm.. In four ways can God create man, viz., either
 94 II, 8|    infidels declare?~Boso. Nothing can be more sound.~Anselm..
 95 II, 8|         man. Of the pictures which can be superadded to this, showing
 96 II, 9|            necessity the Word only can unite in one person with
 97 II, 9|       Wherefore in one person only can this be done. But, as respects
 98 II, 0|         debt; and in what sense he can or cannot sin; and how neither
 99 II, 0|        suffer death, in whom there can be no sin, for he is God.~
100 II, 0|         whether it be said that he can sin or that he cannot. For
101 II, 0|             For, when I say that I can speak or walk, it is understood,
102 II, 0|             For, when I say that I can be dragged or bound unwillingly,
103 II, 0|            than this, that another can drag or bind me. So we can
104 II, 0|         can drag or bind me. So we can say of Christ, that he could
105 II, 0|         wish to lie, none the less can it be said that he could
106 II, 0|           not take it away when he can; and to do a thing is but
107 II, 1|         which we may prove that he can die.~Anselm.. We may not
108 II, 1|             Certainly.~Anselm.. He can, then, if he chooses, lay
109 II, 1|        Boso. Yes.~Anselm. Now this can neither be found beneath
110 II, 1|  reasonable.~Anselm.. Now, nothing can be more severe or difficult
111 II, 1|            s sin should be one who can die if he chooses.~Boso.
112 II, 1|          his sin, but also one who can die of his own free will,
113 II, 1|         life and actions than they can possibly be shown to be
114 II, 1|        without experience. For who can say how necessary and wise
115 II, 3|          but very prejudicial. How can he perform works, so many
116 II, 3|          does not love, then there can be no good thing of which
117 II, 3|      understands good, save he who can distinguish it from evil;
118 II, 3|           it from evil; and no one can make this distinction who
119 II, 3| comprehends what is good, so there can be no evil with which he
120 II, 4|           to tell me how his death can outweigh the number and
121 II, 4|        sins, when the least sin we can think of you have shown
122 II, 4|           but also all others that can be conceived of, than this
123 II, 4|           than all other sins that can be thought of, inasmuch
124 II, 4|      comparison all the sins which can be thought of, that do not
125 II, 4|            from the Divine person, can for a moment be compared
126 II, 4|          good in itself so lovely, can avail to pay what is due
127 II, 5|            his life is a good, how can his death overcome and destroy
128 II, 5|            of any one of them, how can it not also destroy any
129 II, 5|       crime with which none others can be compared. For this crime,
130 II, 5|            the murderers of Christ can obtain pardon for their
131 II, 5|            from men, and that this can only be by the forgiveness
132 II, 5|     forgiveness of sins, which man can never have but by man, who
133 II, 6|          think that the human mind can discover how wisely, how
134 II, 6|          Boso. I allow that no man can wholly discover so great
135 II, 6|       desire you to do what no man can do, but only to explain
136 II, 6|         reasoning, such as nothing can oppose, that there never
137 II, 6|          no further objection that can be made to this view, then
138 II, 7|          being what he was, so you can assert that he could not
139 II, 7|   propositions nor your inferences can I invalidate in the least.
140 II, 8|          simply this, that nothing can compel God to do the thing
141 II, 8|            this kind, that a thing can be when the power is not
142 II, 8|            Thus we say "Such a man can be bound," instead of saying, "
143 II, 8|       instead of saying, "Somebody can bind him," and, "He cannot
144 II, 8|        bound," instead of, "Nobody can bind him." For to be able
145 II, 8|          that of necessity nothing can avail to make him deviate
146 II, 8|           regard to man, much less can we speak of necessity or
147 II, 8|      choice, and his will no force can drive or restrain. For this
148 II, 8|         but not vice versa. For we can say that the heaven revolves
149 II, 8|       which we have given, for God can certainly do what human
150 II, 9|          pleasing to God. How then can we affirm that he did not
151 II, 0|          Let us now observe, if we can, how the salvation of men
152 II, 0|            neither of these things can be attributed to God.~Anselm..
153 II, 0|          be forgiven him. How then can a reward be bestowed on
154 II, 0|            whom no gift or release can be made?~Boso. I see on
155 II, 0|      forfeited?~Boso. The universe can hear of nothing more reasonable,
156 II, 0|            it seems to me that God can reject none who come to
157 II, 1|   incomparably above anything that can be conceived. For what compassion
158 II, 1|     conceived. For what compassion can excel these words of the
159 II, 1|            faith in the Gospel. Or can anything be more just than
160 II, 3|          him to be true, so no one can dissent from anything contained
