  1 pre  |          Christian faith because they deem it contrary to reason;
  2 I, 1 |        to give to inquirers; for they say that these proofs gratify
  3 I, 1 |      considered sufficient. This they ask, not for the sake of
  4 I, 1 |        means of reason, but that they may be gladdened by understanding
  5 I, 1 | meditating on those things which they believe; and that, as far
  6 I, 1 |        that, as far as possible, they may be always ready to convince
  7 I, 2 |          of reason. For although they appeal to reason because
  8 I, 2 |         appeal to reason because they do not believe, but we,
  9 I, 3 |   tenderness towards us. For did they but carefully consider bow
 10 I, 3 |     human redemption is secured, they would not ridicule our simplicity,
 11 I, 4 |        so many pictures; but, if they have no solid foundation,
 12 I, 4 |        have no solid foundation, they do not appear sufficient
 13 I, 4 |         of the real thing, since they do not think this belief
 14 I, 4 |     reality, but only a fiction, they consider us, as it were,
 15 I, 6 |        devil for us. ~Boso. This they greatly wonder at, because
 16 I, 6 |   redemption a release. For, say they, in what custody or imprisonment,
 17 I, 6 |          of his love towards us; they answer: If you say that
 18 I, 6 |        with which infidels think they can withstand us.~ ~
 19 I, 7 |      permits this; and therefore they suppose that the devil rightly
 20 I, 8 |         with such toil.~Anselm.. They who speak thus do not understand
 21 I, 0 |        topics; and how otherwise they can be correctly explained. ~
 22 I, 0 |       which have been mentioned, they are all to be explained
 23 I, 2 |   interpret these things as that they may not seem to interfere
 24 I, 5 |          there is no place where they can be but under the heavens,
 25 I, 5 |       under the heavens, nor can they fly from the heavens without
 26 I, 5 |          whither and in what way they go, they are still under
 27 I, 5 |         and in what way they go, they are still under the heavens;
 28 I, 5 |        under the heavens; and if they are at a greater distance
 29 I, 5 |  distance from one part of them, they are only so much nearer
 30 I, 6 |    within that number; or, since they were out of that number,
 31 I, 6 |         were out of that number, they could not continue to exist,
 32 I, 6 |        Anselm.. Therefore, since they ought to be of that number,
 33 I, 7 |       fell. ~Boso. Why could not they themselves be restored,
 34 I, 7 |         first creation), because they ought to be such as the
 35 I, 7 |      angels would have been, had they never sinned. But the first
 36 I, 7 |        their own virtue. For, as they would have been condemned
 37 I, 7 |        stood firm with the holy, they would have been likewise
 38 I, 8 |        perfect in number or that they were not?~Anselm.. I will
 39 I, 8 |         it is also possible that they were not perfect in number,
 40 I, 8 |   overthrow of the evil, because they persevered. From these reasons,
 41 I, 8 |          follow of necessity, if they were created at the same
 42 I, 8 |       without the other; how can they be justified in this unholy
 43 I, 8 |          substitution of men, if they (the angels) would have
 44 I, 8 |        free from this fault, had they not fallen, viz., from rejoicing
 45 I, 8 |       this fault? nay, how ought they to be happy with this fault?
 46 I, 8 |     state? But all are sure that they were made with a view to
 47 I, 8 |         of bodily existence. For they had in paradise a kind of
 48 I, 8 |         immortal, as if, indeed, they had not been capable of
 49 I, 8 |         to our first parents, if they had not sinned as they did,
 50 I, 8 |        if they had not sinned as they did, he would have confirmed
 51 I, 8 |      them was complete; yet, had they preserved their original
 52 I, 8 |      have sinned though tempted, they would have been confirmed,
 53 I, 8 |        more to sin; just as when they were conquered by sin, they
 54 I, 8 |      they were conquered by sin, they were so weakened as to be
 55 I, 8 |         the sin of Adam), so had they not sinned, human nature
 56 I, 8 |          children of Israel," as they are called "sons of Abraham."
 57 I, 8 |    called "sons of Abraham." And they can also properly be called "
 58 I, 8 |          angels of God," because they imitate the life of angels,
 59 I, 8 |          the life of angels, and they are promised in heaven a
 60 I, 8 |      Lord says of Judas, because they are alike in malice; why
 61 I, 9 |      with the number whose place they shall take, that is, as
 62 I, 9 |       good angels now; otherwise they who fell will not be restored,
 63 I, 0 |    Christ and his religion as if they did not exist, when we proposed
 64 I, 1 |           let us inquire whether they can satisfy for a sin so
 65 I, 1 |       beings as this?~Boso. Were they increased to an infinite
 66 I, 4 |          without Christ. But, if they are utterly unable to do
 67 I, 4 |         in Christ as we do, that they may be saved.~Boso. Let
 68 I, 5 |        hope to be saved; and how they avail for the salvation
 69 II, 7|        the human Divine; nor can they be so commingled as that
 70 II, 7|         only and not God. Or, if they were so commingled that
 71 II, 7|         things cannot be, or, if they could be, would avail nothing
 72 II, 8|       the sin of men. And, since they cannot, one born of them
 73 II, 8|      These are sufficient.~Boso. They are certainly very beautiful
 74 II, 9|        their own will. Wherefore they have sinned, as it were,
 75 II, 0|      when of their own free will they maintained holiness, though
 76 II, 0|      maintained holiness, though they might have abandoned it,
 77 II, 0|         might have abandoned it, they might deserve commendation
 78 II, 0|   commendation and reward, which they would not have done had
 79 II, 0|          would not have done had they been necessarily holy.~Anselm..
 80 II, 0|      commit sin?~Boso. Doubtless they are, because they deserved
 81 II, 0|      Doubtless they are, because they deserved this present inability
 82 II, 0|          from the fact that when they could sin they refused to
 83 II, 0|         that when they could sin they refused to do so.~Anselm..
 84 II, 0|       for their holiness because they could sin, but because it

 86 II, 0|          And in this respect are they in a measure like God, who
 87 II, 1|       rise again, incorruptible, they will no less be really men.
 88 II, 1|       given by philosophers, for they have never even believed
 89 II, 1|        his life and actions than they can possibly be shown to
 90 II, 1|      himself of the way in which they ought to live? But how could
 91 II, 1|         weak and dying men, that they should not deviate from
 92 II, 1|     tortures, or even death, had they not been able to recognise
 93 II, 3|          will men believe him if they find him ignorant? And if
 94 II, 4|       created existence as this, they could not stand, but would
 95 II, 4|      that sins are as hateful as they are evil, and that life
 96 II, 5|      question when he says: "Had they known it, they would never
 97 II, 5|        says: "Had they known it, they would never have crucified
 98 II, 5|     different that an evil which they could never do, were its
 99 II, 6|          all past guilt; and, if they sinned after this pardon,

103 II, 8|         efficient necessity, for they must revolve. But when I
104 II, 8|          did. For therefore were they necessary, because they
105 II, 8|          they necessary, because they were to be, and they were
106 II, 8|     because they were to be, and they were to be because they
107 II, 8|          they were to be because they were, and they were because
108 II, 8|        be because they were, and they were because they were;
109 II, 8|      were, and they were because they were; and, if you wish to
110 II, 8|          and suffered, know that they were of necessity, because
111 II, 8|  preceded his will. Wherefore if they were not save by his will,
112 II, 8|          then, had he not willed they would not have existed.
113 II, 9|          set men an example that they should never turn aside
114 II, 9|   celibacy, may be said to do as they ought. For no one says that
115 II, 9|         creatures should be what they ought; for what God wishes
116 II, 0|         will men imitate him, if they be not also partakers of

122 II, 2|       original dignity. For, had they not sinned, they would have
