 1 I, 1 |       hearts; for what cause or necessity, in sooth, God became man,
 2 I, 2 |    besides myself ask, for what necessity and cause God, who is omnipotent,
 3 I, 2 |        a knowledge of Power and Necessity and Will and certain other
 4 I, 4 |     first be shown, I mean, the necessity, which proves that God ought
 5 I, 0 |       greater, has the force of necessity.~Boso. In this matter, I
 6 I, 6 |        to exist, and so fell of necessity. But this last is an absurd
 7 I, 6 |   either their number should of necessity be made up, or else rational
 8 I, 8 |          and it would follow of necessity, if they were created at
 9 I, 8 |        part fell; otherwise, of necessity some men or angels must
10 I, 1 |      Anselm.. Put away all such necessity, and ask with regard to
11 II, 5|       not do it by a compulsory necessity; and what is the nature
12 II, 5|      what is the nature of that necessity which removes or lessens
13 II, 5|     lessens gratitude, and what necessity increases it. ~Boso. But
14 II, 5|      grace, if he saves us from necessity?~Anselm.. There is a necessity
15 II, 5|  necessity?~Anselm.. There is a necessity which takes away or lessens
16 II, 5| benefactor, and there is also a necessity by which the favor deserves
17 II, 5|       one does a benefit from a necessity to which he is unwillingly
18 II, 5|        places himself under the necessity of benefiting another, and
19 II, 5|      another, and sustains that necessity without reluctance, then
20 II, 5|       this should not be called necessity but grace, inasmuch as he
21 II, 5|     said to live a holy life of necessity, but with the same freedom
22 II, 5|       fine, God does nothing by necessity, since he is not compelled
23 II, 5|     that God does this from the necessity of maintaining his honor;
24 II, 5|    maintaining his honor; which necessity is after all no more than
25 II, 5|       it is not properly called necessity. Yet we may say, although
26 II, 9|              CHAPTER IX.~How of necessity the Word only can unite
27 II, 0|     there is no power, but only necessity. For, when I say that I
28 II, 0|       this is not my power, but necessity and the power of another;
29 II, 0|        he maintains holiness of necessity, and therefore he will not
30 II, 0|       because he is not holy of necessity but freely; for that is
31 II, 0|       that is improperly called necessity which involves neither compulsion
32 II, 0|        and maintains not by any necessity, but, as before said, by
33 II, 0|    himself, will be holy not of necessity but voluntarily, and, therefore,
34 II, 5|      now you, see how reason of necessity shows that the celestial
35 II, 7|     XVII.~How he did not die of necessity, though he could not be
36 II, 7|       was not to be a matter of necessity; yet now we see that his
37 II, 7|       lays down his life not of necessity, but of free authority.~
38 II, 7|        that he wished to die of necessity, because he could not change
39 II, 7|       to die, or that it was of necessity that he wished to die, it
40 II, 7|       death, or that he died of necessity.~Boso. Yes, since dying
41 II, 7|       seem to fall under a like necessity.~Anselm.. Who freely wished
42 II, 7|    being so, but takes place of necessity. Wherefore, if God wished
43 II, 7|         God does nothing by any necessity, but of his own power, and
44 II, 8|       with God there is neither necessity nor impossibility, and what
45 II, 8|          and what is a coercive necessity, and what one that is not
46 II, 8|        that he cannot do it, of necessity. For all necessity and impossibility
47 II, 8|       it, of necessity. For all necessity and impossibility is under
48 II, 8|         choice is subject to no necessity nor impossibility. For nothing
49 II, 8|       or refusing anything as a necessity or an impossibility is contrary
50 II, 8|         and nothing else, as no necessity or impossibility exists
51 II, 8|     what it is. For there is no necessity or impossibility in the
52 II, 8|       that God does anything by necessity, because there is any such
53 II, 8|         cannot do anything. For necessity is always either compulsion
54 II, 8|          and these two kinds of necessity operate variously by turn,
55 II, 8|       that whatever exists from necessity cannot avoid existence,
56 II, 8|       to exist which is under a necessity of nonexistence, and vice
57 II, 8|         concerned, there is any necessity either coercive or prohibitory,
58 II, 8|         we mean that there is a necessity in everything else, restraining
59 II, 8|      maintain the truth that of necessity nothing can avail to make
60 II, 8|      not say that he does it of necessity, but with the same freedom
61 II, 8|        is done, or not done, by necessity or weakness, when free choice
62 II, 8|       much less can we speak of necessity or weakness in reference
63 II, 8|        it was to be. But such a necessity as this does not compel
64 II, 8|       to be, but only implies a necessity of its existence. There
65 II, 8|          There is an antecedent necessity which is the cause of a
66 II, 8|      there is also a subsequent necessity arising from the thing itself.
67 II, 8|        antecedent and efficient necessity, for they must revolve.
68 II, 8|         I say that you speak of necessity, because you are speaking,
69 II, 8|      subsequent and inoperative necessity. For I only mean that it
70 II, 8|      the heaven revolve; but no necessity obliges you to speak. But
71 II, 8| wherever there is an antecedent necessity, there is also a subsequent
72 II, 8|     that the heaven revolves of necessity, because it revolves; but
73 II, 8|         you speak, you do it of necessity. This subsequent necessity
74 II, 8|      necessity. This subsequent necessity pertains to everything,
75 II, 8|       be. Whatever is to be, of necessity will be. This is that necessity
76 II, 8| necessity will be. This is that necessity which Aristotle treats of ("
77 II, 8|    alternative and to ascribe a necessity to all things. By this subsequent
78 II, 8|       subsequent and imperative necessity, was it necessary (since
79 II, 8|       you wish to know the real necessity of all things which he did
80 II, 8|          know that they were of necessity, because he wished them
81 II, 8|       wished them to be. But no necessity preceded his will. Wherefore
82 II, 8|       subjected to death by any necessity; and I cannot regret my
83 II, 8|         man. And hence arises a necessity that God should take man
84 II, 0|         I see on the one hand a necessity for a reward, and on the
85 II, 3|  proving that God became man by necessity, leaving out what was taken
