 10 I, 6 |        vanquish for us, because we were unable to do it, and that
 11 I, 6 |          can oppose. If, then, God were unwilling to save the human
 12 I, 7 |         save men, was bound, as it were, to try a contest with the
 13 I, 7 |           sinners; and that, if it were not so, God would have used
 14 I, 7 |           other being than God, or were in the power of any but
 15 I, 7 |     persuasions of the other, both were thieves. For what could

 19 I, 9 |            belonging to the Father were his); but the expression
 20 I, 9 |          deported himself as if it were so. For he was exalted after

 23 I, 9 |           should be lost; as if he were to say to the Father: "Since

 25 I, 2 |            CHAPTER XII.~Whether it were proper for God to put away
 26 I, 2 |            and consider whether it were proper for God to put away
 27 I, 5 |    condition belonging, and, as it were, allotted to him, he is
 28 I, 5 |     universe. For if Divine wisdom were not to insist upon things,
 29 I, 6 |         either the angels who fell were made so as to be within
 30 I, 6 |        that number; or, since they were out of that number, they
 31 I, 7 |          respect to the others who were substituted for them after
 32 I, 8 |           we have spoken, then men were only made to supply the
 33 I, 8 |        greater. But if that number were not found in all the angels
 34 I, 8 |          will be chosen than there were fallen angels. And so we
 35 I, 8 |           so we shall say that men were made not only to restore
 36 I, 8 |         better theory, that angels were originally made perfect
 37 I, 8 |     perfect in number or that they were not?~Anselm.. I will state
 38 I, 8 |            also possible that they were not perfect in number, because
 39 I, 8 |         not yet perfect, or, if it were also diminished, He would
 40 I, 8 |            in number. Since, if it were so, it seems to me that
 41 I, 8 |          If, therefore, all things were created at one and the same
 42 I, 8 |            of angels, might, as it were, justify God, and put the
 43 I, 8 |            devil to silence, if he were to attribute his fall to
 44 I, 8 |           whom it should be equal, were advanced after the overthrow
 45 I, 8 |      supposing that man and angels were not created at the same
 46 I, 8 |       follow of necessity, if they were created at the same time,
 47 I, 8 |            the opinion that angels were not created perfect in number.~
 48 I, 8 |           that of the Gentiles who were called unto faith, because
 49 I, 8 |            any one know whether he were created to restore the part
 50 I, 8 |         But all are sure that they were made with a view to the
 51 I, 8 |         necessary fact that angels were not made perfect in number,
 52 I, 8 |         the superior, might, as it were, rejoice in its own way;
 53 I, 8 |           or that, if that kingdom were perfect in number, it was
 54 I, 8 |         follows that, since angels were not complete in number,
 55 I, 8 |           with angels to which men were to attain, when the number
 56 I, 8 |          to sin; just as when they were conquered by sin, they were
 57 I, 8 |        were conquered by sin, they were so weakened as to be unable,
 58 I, 8 |         the whole heavenly kingdom were included, the meaning is,
 59 I, 8 |         men will be taken as there were angels who remained steadfast.
 60 I, 9 |        held man in paradise, as it were in his own hand, without
 61 I, 9 |        aptness of your comparison, were God to do this, and therefore
 62 I, 9 |           the trespass, that, even were I so disposed, I could not
 63 I, 0 |         inquire whether his coming were necessary to man's salvation.~
 64 I, 1 |           you too long; what if it were necessary either that the
 65 I, 1 |             Anselm.. What if there were more worlds as full of beings
 66 I, 1 |           of beings as this?~Boso. Were they increased to an infinite
 67 I, 1 |         would drive me to despair, were it not for the consolation
 68 I, 2 |          placed in paradise, as it were in the place of God, between
 69 I, 3 |          was corrupted, and, as it were, tainted with sin, and God
 70 I, 4 |            origin of his inability were not in himself, there might
 71 I, 4 |            Anselm.. But suppose it were true that God pardons the
 72 I, 4 |      cannot.~Boso. I could wish it were so.~Anselm.. But while man
 73 II, 1|            for if the highest good were chosen for any other reason,
 74 II, 1|         else it was not. But if it were not made holy for this end,
 75 II, 5|           so, then God seems as it were compelled, for the sake
 76 II, 5|           not promised it, for you were not obliged to make yourself
 77 II, 5|            creating man, God as it were bound himself to complete
 78 II, 7|       human. For, granting that it were possible for either to be
 79 II, 7|           and not God. Or, if they were so commingled that a third
 80 II, 9|            they have sinned, as it were, especially against the
 81 II, 0|            that man, as if nothing were known of him. I say, then,
 82 II, 0|            him. I say, then, if he were unable to sin, because,
 83 II, 1|          could be slain; and if he were unwilling to allow it, he
 84 II, 4|           to be so monstrous that, were there an infinite number
 85 II, 4|         just will of God.~Anselm.. Were that man here before you,
 86 II, 4|            knew who he was, and it were told you that, if you did
 87 II, 4|       creation?~Boso. No! not even were an infinite number of worlds
 88 II, 4|           Anselm.. But suppose you were told: "If you do not kill
 89 II, 5|         which they could never do, were its full extent known, may
 90 II, 6|            could take effect if he were annihilated. Therefore God'
 91 II, 6|         others. For, suppose there were a king against whom all
 92 II, 6|        race, and that all the rest were irretrievably under condemnation.
 93 II, 6|    heavenly state, even if all who were upon the earth at that time
 94 II, 6|        upon the earth at that time were admitted to the benefits
 95 II, 6|          men from them, as many as were needed for the celestial
 96 II, 6|          those for whose sake they were created.~Anselm.. You understand
 97 II, 6|            the number of those who were cleansed from their sins
 98 II, 6|          you say would satisfy me, were it not that he ought to
 99 II, 7|            future death? For if he were not to die, the virgin of
100 II, 7|          in his death, and, if she were not pure, he could not be
101 II, 7|           he would lie, that there were two senses of the word power
102 II, 7|             Boso. But those powers were not in all respects similar,
103 II, 7|           man whose person he took were so united that the same
104 II, 7|         birth and many others also were cleansed from their sin.
105 II, 8|      antecedent faith and prophecy were true, this is no more than
106 II, 8|         prophecy concerning Christ were true, that he would die
107 II, 8|           as he did. For therefore were they necessary, because
108 II, 8|            necessary, because they were to be, and they were to
109 II, 8|          they were to be, and they were to be because they were,
110 II, 8|            were to be because they were, and they were because they
111 II, 8|        because they were, and they were because they were; and,
112 II, 8|         and they were because they were; and, if you wish to know
113 II, 8|           suffered, know that they were of necessity, because he
114 II, 8|            will. Wherefore if they were not save by his will, then,
115 II, 8|            which you owe me, as it were, but which now you avoid
116 II, 0|            belonging to the Father were his, nor did he ever owe
117 II, 1|       appeared lost to you when we were considering God's holiness
118 II, 2|            other angel, though all were of the same nature, for
119 II, 2|          same race. For all angels were not sprung from one, as
120 II, 2|        sprung from one, as all men were. And there is another objection
