Book, Chapter

  1 I, 1 |      give to inquirers; for they say that these proofs gratify
  2 I, 2 |       you. But I wish all that I say to be received with this
  3 I, 2 |      that for all that a man can say or know still deeper grounds
  4 I, 6 |       redemption a release. For, say they, in what custody or
  5 I, 6 |          us; they answer: If you say that God, who, as you believe,
  6 I, 6 |         simple will, observe, to say the least, how you disparage
  7 I, 6 |         for them? As to what you say of his coming to vanquish
  8 I, 8 |         wishes to effect. But we say that the Lord Jesus Christ
  9 I, 9 |     first, it is not improper to say to him: now take food, for
 10 I, 9 |        be lost; as if he were to say to the Father: "Since you
 11 I, 9 | reconciled to you." For we often say that one desires a thing,
 12 I, 9 |    desire; for instance, when we say that he who does not choose
 13 I, 0 |   chooses, it is not improper to say that God draws or moves
 14 I, 0 |     drank. And if it is right to say that the Son spared not
 15 I, 0 |         deny that it is right to say that the Father, of whom
 16 I, 0 |     appear sufficient. For as we say that he desires a thing
 17 I, 0 |          desire it; so, also, we say that he desires a thing
 18 I, 0 |         are, also, accustomed to say that he who can prevent
 19 I, 0 |          choice, it is proper to say that he wished the Son to
 20 I, 2 |     undischarged.~Boso. What you say is reasonable.~Anselm..
 21 I, 2 |          strange thing for us to say that be is wholly unwilling
 22 I, 2 |        others.~Anselm.. What you say of God's liberty and choice
 23 I, 2 |        true;" as if a man should say: "Supposing water to be
 24 I, 2 |          readily to whatever you say.~ ~
 25 I, 3 |     therefore, that you will not say that God ought to endure
 26 I, 3 | defrauding him.~Boso. I dare not say so.~Anselni. Therefore the
 27 I, 5 |          degree. ~Boso. What you say satisfies me. But there
 28 I, 8 |          angels. And so we shall say that men were made not only
 29 I, 8 |      unholy joy, or how shall we say that angels are restored
 30 I, 8 |       what temerity, then, do we say that God neither wishes
 31 I, 8 |        among men.~Boso. What you say seems very reasonable to
 32 I, 8 |         inquiry, viz., that if I say anything not upheld by greater
 33 I, 8 |         For I am sure that, if I say anything which plainly opposes
 34 I, 8 |          is not in danger; if, I say, in questions like this,
 35 I, 8 |         Wherefore I think we may say that God has appointed the
 36 I, 9 |          have tempted man. Now I say, would not God be acting
 37 I, 9 |         your reasoning. But what say you to this: that we pray
 38 I, 0 |           Boso. Truly I dare not say that in all these things
 39 I, 1 |        on the other hand, should say: "It is not my will that
 40 I, 1 |       Anselm.. But listen.~Boso. Say on.~ ~
 41 I, 2 |       born in sin.~Boso. Again I say that the thing is impossible,
 42 I, 2 |         reason approves what you say.~Anselm.. Let me mention
 43 I, 4 |    Anselm.. But if you choose to say that a merciful God remits
 44 I, 5 |       understood.~Boso. What you say is true.~Anselm.. Why, then,
 45 II, 3|          Boso. But what shall we say to one who tells us that
 46 II, 5|         in anything. And when we say that God does anything to
 47 II, 5|     called necessity. Yet we may say, although the whole work
 48 II, 7|          man.~Boso. All that you say is satisfactory to me.~ ~
 49 II, 8|        born of a virgin, we will say nothing. These are sufficient.~
 50 II, 0|      hard to be believed. For to say a word concerning him, not
 51 II, 0|      whose deeds we know; who, I say, will deny that he could
 52 II, 0|          we call sinful? For, to say nothing of other things,
 53 II, 0|       other things, how shall we say that it was not possible
 54 II, 0|       Jews, of his Father: "If I say that I know him not, I shall
 55 II, 0|         It is true that he could say this, and also that he could
 56 II, 0|    follows the will. For, when I say that I can speak or walk,
 57 II, 0|      only necessity. For, when I say that I can be dragged or
 58 II, 0|       drag or bind me. So we can say of Christ, that he could
 59 II, 0|     nothing were known of him. I say, then, if he were unable
 60 II, 0|         For we are accustomed to say that God made man and angel
 61 II, 0|          to do so.~Anselm.. What say you with respect to God,
 62 II, 0|        question for me; for if I say that he deserves no praise,
 63 II, 0|         If, on the other hand, I say that he does deserve praise,
 64 II, 0|   himself unholy yet did not, we say with propriety that he conferred
 65 II, 0|         the same with God, as we say that man was. And if you
 66 II, 0|         on with what you have to say.~Anselm.. We must conclude,
 67 II, 1|      subject to death, for us to say that he will be in all respects
 68 II, 1|     already said.~Anselm.. If we say that he will give himself
 69 II, 1|          experience. For who can say how necessary and wise a
 70 II, 3|         should seem to he as you say; but, in infancy, as it
 71 II, 3|    having it.~Anselm.. Did not I say that the incarnation will
 72 II, 4|           And I think I ought to say this, not only with regard
 73 II, 4|        his person.~Anselm.. What say you to this, that one often
 74 II, 4|         mine above.~Anselm.. You say well; and hence we see that
 75 II, 5|     reason of it.~Boso. What you say is true; and I do not for
 76 II, 6|       her purity.~Boso. What you say would satisfy me, were it
 77 II, 7|   Wherefore, as you ought not to say that he could not help wishing
 78 II, 7|        it is equally improper to say that he could not avoid
 79 II, 7|        Anselm.. If, then, as you say, he could not avoid death
 80 II, 8|         in the case. For when we say that God cannot do a thing,
 81 II, 8|          something else. Thus we say "Such a man can be bound,"
 82 II, 8|    weakness but power. Nor do we say that God does anything by
 83 II, 8|          vice versa. But when we say with regard to God, that
 84 II, 8|       particular way. Whereas we say the very opposite of God.
 85 II, 8|      utter a lie. When, then, we say that that man (who, by the
 86 II, 8|        to do so, yet we must not say that he does it of necessity,
 87 II, 8|  resolution. For we ought not to say that anything is done, or
 88 II, 8|         born of her, even she, I say, never believed that he
 89 II, 8|         perplexes you to have me say that it is necessary, remember
 90 II, 8|         must revolve. But when I say that you speak of necessity,
 91 II, 8|       not vice versa. For we can say that the heaven revolves
 92 II, 8|        to everything, so that we say: Whatever has been, necessarily
 93 II, 8|          to the will of God. But say now, what remains to be
 94 II, 9|        easy thing to answer. You say that when he died he gave
 95 II, 9|        done it. Nor will any one say that he was not bound to
 96 II, 9|         not to be chosen; but we say that what a man esteems
 97 II, 9|     looks for a reward. When you say that the creature owes God
 98 II, 9|           When, for instance, we say that the poor ought to receive
 99 II, 9|         but by the rich. We also say that God ought to be exalted
100 II, 9|          at his own disposal, we say that he ought to do it,
101 II, 9|        precise truth, yet we may say, according to our custom,
102 II, 0|   examined, -- the Scriptures, I say, show us how to approach
103 II, 1|         sin; we have found it, I say, so great and so consistent
104 II, 2|      been deceived. And I do not say this as if to deny that
