And this also. 608 II, 8| from man alone, was made of a virgin (de virgine), it 609 II, 8| from a woman, to be born of a woman without man. Of 610 II, 8| of a woman without man. Of the pictures which can be 611 II, 8| God-man ought to be born of a virgin, we will say nothing. 612 II, 9| CHAPTER IX.~How of necessity the Word only 613 II, 9| upon himself the nature of man. For a plurality of 614 II, 9| of man. For a plurality of persons cannot take one 615 II, 9| the same man into a unity of person. Wherefore in one 616 II, 9| respects this personal unity of God and man, and in which 617 II, 9| God and man, and in which of the Divine persons this 618 II, 9| letter on the Incarnation of the Word, addressed to my 619 II, 9| this matter, why the person of the Son should be incarnated 620 II, 9| incarnated rather than that of the Father or the Holy Spirit.~ 621 II, 9| Spirit.~Anselm.. If one of the other persons be incarnated, 622 II, 9| the Trinity, viz., the Son of God, who is the Son before 623 II, 9| incarnation, will be the son of the virgin; and among the 624 II, 9| as respects the dignity of birth. For the one born 625 II, 9| birth. For the one born of God will have a nobler birth 626 II, 9| birth than he who is born of the virgin. Likewise, if 627 II, 9| humanity, will be the grandson of the parents of the virgin, 628 II, 9| grandson of the parents of the virgin, and the Word, 629 II, 9| will yet be the grandson of the virgin, since he will 630 II, 9| since he will be the son of her son. But all these things 631 II, 9| pertain to the incarnation of the Word. And there is yet 632 II, 9| than for any other person of the Trinity to supplicate 633 II, 9| especially against the person of the Son, who is believed 634 II, 9| believed to be the very image of God. Wherefore the punishment 635 II, 9| the punishment or pardon of guilt is with peculiar propriety 636 II, 9| in respect to the person of the Word than the other 637 II, 9| not I who lead you, but he of whom we are speaking, without 638 II, 9| no power to keep the way of truth.~ ~ 639 II, 0| X.~How this man dies not of debt; and in what sense 640 II, 0| word concerning him, not as of one who never existed in 641 II, 0| spoken hitherto, but as of one whom we know and whose 642 II, 0| sinful? For, to say nothing of other things, how shall 643 II, 0| for him to commit the sin of lying? For, when he says 644 II, 0| when he says to the Jews, of his Father: "If I say that 645 II, 0| this sentence, makes use of the words : "I know him 646 II, 0| necessity and the power of another; since I am able 647 II, 0| or bind me. So we can say of Christ, that he could lie, 648 II, 0| as if nothing were known of him. I say, then, if he 649 II, 0| sin, he maintains holiness of necessity, and therefore 650 II, 0| made man and angel capable of sinning on this account, 651 II, 0| this account, that, when of their own free will they 652 II, 0| Are not the angels worthy of praise, though unable to 653 II, 0| deserve praise, I am afraid of invalidating my reasoning 654 II, 0| therefore, has he holiness of himself (for the creature 655 II, 0| creature cannot have it of himself in any other way), 656 II, 0| because he is not holy of necessity but freely; for 657 II, 0| God has he has perfectly of himself, he is most of all 658 II, 0| perfectly of himself, he is most of all to be praised for the 659 II, 0| himself, will be holy not of necessity but voluntarily, 660 II, 0| parents so as to be incapable of sin, and yet praiseworthy 661 II, 0| possible nor right for any one of them to be the same with 662 II, 1| CHAPTER XI.~How Christ dies of his own power, and how mortality 663 II, 1| in the essential nature of man. ~Anselm.. Now, also, 664 II, 1| in the essential nature of man, but only as corrupted. 665 II, 1| was an essential attribute of human nature, then he who 666 II, 1| included in the definition of man, as given by philosophers, 667 II, 1| believed in the possibility of man's being immortal in 668 II, 1| other reason, since I know of none, if you do not, by 669 II, 1| life by the intervention of no other person, or another 670 II, 1| he presents to God, not of debt but freely, ought to 671 II, 1| anything in the possession of God.~Boso. Yes.~Anselm. 672 II, 1| must we inquire what sort of a gift this should be? For 673 II, 1| himself to God, or anything of his, as if God did not have 674 II, 1| up himself, or something of his, to the honor of God, 675 II, 1| something of his, to the honor of God, which he did not owe 676 II, 1| giving a thing not demanded of him by God as his due. For 677 II, 1| God will not demand this of him as a debt; for, as no 678 II, 1| subject to death on account of his omnipotence, and one 679 II, 1| deserve death on account of his sin, but also one who 680 II, 1| but also one who can die of his own free will, for this 681 II, 1| into the common intercourse of men, and maintain a likeness 682 II, 1| his teaching from the way of death and destruction into 683 II, 1| destruction into the path of life and eternal happiness, 684 II, 1| them an example himself of the way in which they ought 685 II, 1| deviate from holiness because of injuries, or scorn, or tortures, 686 II, 2| be mortal and to partake of our weaknesses. But all 687 II, 3| weaknesses, he does not partake of our ignorance. ~Boso. But 688 II, 3| you doubt the omnipotence of God?~Boso. No! but, although 689 II, 3| mortality?~Anselm.. That union of humanity with the Divine 690 II, 3| there can be no good thing of which be is ignorant. But 691 II, 3| evil is. Therefore, as he of whom we are speaking perfectly 692 II, 3| mortality, which he makes use of so widely, because for so 693 II, 3| from acting, on account of it. But, in him an evil 694 II, 3| that it takes away the good of knowing. And to answer your 695 II, 3| from the essential nature of his being, will be always 696 II, 3| being, will be always full of God; and, therefore, will 697 II, 3| the firmness or the wisdom of God.~Boso. Though wholly 698 II, 3| unable to doubt the truth of this with respect to Christ, 699 II, 3| have I asked for the reason of it. For we are often certain 700 II, 4| the number and greatness of our sins. ~Boso. Now I ask 701 II, 4| the number and magnitude of our sins, when the least 702 II, 4| the least sin we can think of you have shown to be so 703 II, 4| there an infinite number of worlds as full of created 704 II, 4| number of worlds as full of created existence as this, 705 II, 4| contrary to the just will of God.~Anselm.. Were that 706 II, 4| it to preserve the rest of creation?~Boso. No! not 707 II, 4| were an infinite number of worlds displayed before 708 II, 4| not kill him, all the sins of the world will be heaped 709 II, 4| other sins, not only those of this world, past and future, 710 II, 4| others that can be conceived of, than this alone. And I 711 II, 4| sins that can be thought of, inasmuch as all sins whatsoever 712 II, 4| sins which can be thought of, that do not affect his 713 II, 4| property?~Boso. God has no need of such patience, for all things 714 II, 4| answered a certain question of mine above.~Anselm.. You 715 II, 4| no enormity or multitude of sins, apart from the Divine 716 II, 4| you, if the destruction of it is such an evil?~Boso. 717 II, 4| what is due for the sins of the whole world?~Boso. Yes! 718 II, 4| suffer death, as the gift of his life surpasses all the 719 II, 4| life surpasses all the sins of men, so will also the suffering 720 II, 4| will also the suffering of death.~ ~ 721 II, 5| death removes even the sins of his murderers. ~Boso. This 722 II, 5| not affecting the person of the Deity. But let me ask 723 II, 5| overcome and destroy the sins of those who slew him? Or, 724 II, 5| if it destroys the sin of any one of them, how can 725 II, 5| destroys the sin of any one of them, how can it not also 726 II, 5| have crucified the Lord of glory." For a sin knowingly 727 II, 5| this crime, the magnitude of which we have been considering 728 II, 5| considering as equal to the worth of his life, we have not looked 729 II, 5| shown that the murderers of Christ can obtain pardon 730 II, 5| now you, see how reason of necessity shows that the 731 II, 5| only be by the forgiveness of sins, which man can never 732 II, 5| all things which he says of himself must be acknowledged 733 II, 5| not understand the reason of it.~Boso. What you say is 734 II, 5| confirmed by the knowledge of the truth itself.~ ~ 735 II, 6| and yet without sin; and of the salvation of Adam and 736 II, 6| sin; and of the salvation of Adam and Eve. ~Boso. As, 737 II, 6| have disclosed the reason of those things mentioned above, 738 II, 6| sinful substance, that is, of human species, which was 739 II, 6| For, though the conception of this man be pure, and free 740 II, 6| pure, and free from the sin of fleshly gratification, yet 741 II, 6| God, and also the restorer of sinners, we doubt not that 742 II, 6| taken without sin and yet of a sinful substance. But 743 II, 6| in what manner the wisdom of God effects this, we should 744 II, 6| with reverence should allow of a thing of so great magnitude 745 II, 6| should allow of a thing of so great magnitude to remain 746 II, 6| from us. For the restoring of human nature by God is more 747 II, 6| he should be one capable of being punished, or of receiving 748 II, 6| capable of being punished, or of receiving God's compassion. 749 II, 6| compassion. For neither of these things could take 750 II, 6| his deserts; while the act of creation was not for the 751 II, 6| that, while the perfection of each nature is preserved, 752 II, 6| showing some one that you know of, than if, by saying nothing, 753 II, 6| against whom all the people of his provinces had rebelled, 754 II, 6| with but a single exception of those belonging to their 755 II, 6| guidance; and this because of a certain very pleasing 756 II, 6| king grants, on account of the greatness of the service 757 II, 6| account of the greatness of the service performed, that 758 II, 6| right again by the efficacy of this plan, they should again 759 II, 6| present at the sacrifice of Christ, yet such virtue 760 II, 6| many living at the time of his death as are necessary 761 II, 6| admitted to the benefits of redemption. For the number 762 II, 6| redemption. For the number of evil angels which must be 763 II, 6| greater than the number of men at that time living. 764 II, 6| creatures made for the use of man, was so unprofitable 765 II, 6| be some person partaking of this promised pardon. And, 766 II, 6| authority makes no mention of this.~Anselm.. It is also 767 II, 6| to belong to the number of those for whose sake they 768 II, 6| no soul, before the death of Christ, could enter the 769 II, 6| with regard to the palace of the king.~Boso. So we believe.~ 770 II, 6| whom that man was taken of whom we are speaking, was 771 II, 6| whom we are speaking, was of the number of those who 772 II, 6| speaking, was of the number of those who were cleansed 773 II, 6| his birth, and he was born of her in her purity.~Boso. 774 II, 6| that he ought to be pure of himself, whereas he appears 775 II, 6| he also was pure by and of himself.~ ~ 776 II, 7| XVII.~How he did not die of necessity, though he could 777 II, 7| death was not to be a matter of necessity; yet now we see 778 II, 7| was purified by the power of his death, when without 779 II, 7| could not have been born of her. How, then, was not 780 II, 7| have been, except in view of future death? For if he 781 II, 7| were not to die, the virgin of whom he was born could not 782 II, 7| pure, he could not be born of her. If, therefore, his 783 II, 7| a necessary consequence of his being born of the virgin, 784 II, 7| consequence of his being born of the virgin, he never could 785 II, 7| never could have been born of her at all; but this is 786 II, 7| that there were two senses of the word power in regard 787 II, 7| regard to the preservation of his life, there is the power 788 II, 7| life, there is the power of preserving and the power 789 II, 7| preserving and the power of wishing to preserve it. 790 II, 7| to do so for the purpose of escaping death. And since 791 II, 7| he lays down his life not of necessity, but of free authority.~ 792 II, 7| life not of necessity, but of free authority.~Boso. But 793 II, 7| wished to lie, he would of course be able to; but, 794 II, 7| and it was on the faith of his coming death that he 795 II, 7| or that he wished to die of necessity, because he could 796 II, 7| change the constitution of his being; for he did not 797 II, 7| wishing to die, or that it was of necessity that he wished 798 II, 7| avoid death, or that he died of necessity.~Boso. Yes, since 799 II, 7| included in the same mode of reasoning, both would seem 800 II, 7| confidence in the certainty of this?~Boso. God, the Son 801 II, 7| this?~Boso. God, the Son of God.~Anselm.. Was it not 802 II, 7| above shown, that no desire of God is at all constrained; 803 II, 7| being so, but takes place of necessity. Wherefore, if 804 II, 7| Anselm.. Because the Son of God took the nature of man 805 II, 7| Son of God took the nature of man with this desire, viz., 806 II, 7| have spoken that the Son of God and the man whose person 807 II, 7| both God and man, the Son of God and the son of the virgin?~ 808 II, 7| the Son of God and the son of the virgin?~Boso. It is 809 II, 7| Since, then, the will of God does nothing by any 810 II, 7| nothing by any necessity, but of his own power, and the will 811 II, 7| own power, and the will of that man was the same as 812 II, 7| was the same as the will of God, he died not necessarily, 813 II, 7| not necessarily, but only of his own power.~Boso. To 814 II, 7| you made at the beginning of our discussion, viz., that 815 II, 8| it is improper to affirm of God that he does anything, 816 II, 8| or that he cannot do it, of necessity. For all necessity 817 II, 8| whatever but the simple will of God, which chooses that 818 II, 8| often use an expression of this kind, that a thing 819 II, 8| man can be bound," instead of saying, "Somebody can bind 820 II, 8| cannot be bound," instead of, "Nobody can bind him." 821 II, 8| restraint; and these two kinds of necessity operate variously 822 II, 8| which is under a necessity of nonexistence, and vice versa. 823 II, 8| we say the very opposite of God. For, when we affirm 824 II, 8| maintain the truth that of necessity nothing can avail 825 II, 8| that man (who, by the union of persons, is also God, the 826 II, 8| persons, is also God, the Son of God) could not avoid death, 827 II, 8| avoid death, or the choice of death, after he was born 828 II, 8| death, after he was born of the virgin, we do not imply 829 II, 8| to the unchangeableness of his purpose, by which he 830 II, 8| not say that he does it of necessity, but with the 831 II, 8| much less can we speak of necessity or weakness in 832 II, 8| accomplished by the united natures of Christ, viz., that the Divine 833 II, 8| should perform that part of the work needful for man' 834 II, 8| so that he might be born of her, even she, I say, never 835 II, 8| that he was to die, save of his own choice. For she 836 II, 8| For she knew the words of the prophet, who said of 837 II, 8| of the prophet, who said of him: "He was offered of 838 II, 8| of him: "He was offered of his own will." Therefore, 839 II, 8| remember that the reality of the virgin's faith was not 840 II, 8| faith was not the cause of his dying by his own free 841 II, 8| necessary for him to die of his single choice, because 842 II, 8| only implies a necessity of its existence. There is 843 II, 8| necessity which is the cause of a thing, and there is also 844 II, 8| when I say that you speak of necessity, because you are 845 II, 8| to speak. For the force of its own nature makes the 846 II, 8| that the heaven revolves of necessity, because it revolves; 847 II, 8| because you speak, you do it of necessity. This subsequent 848 II, 8| must be. Whatever is to be, of necessity will be. This 849 II, 8| necessity which Aristotle treats of ("de propositionibus singularibus 850 II, 8| true, that he would die of his own free will), that 851 II, 8| know the real necessity of all things which he did 852 II, 8| suffered, know that they were of necessity, because he wished 853 II, 8| him, but he laid it down of himself and took it again; 854 II, 8| adequate, and since in search of other arguments we should 855 II, 8| in such questions as that of original sin, and how it 856 II, 8| mankind, except this man of whom we are speaking; and 857 II, 8| satisfied with this account of the matter, and go on to 858 II, 8| condition that, by the help of God, you will sometime give 859 II, 8| refuse you; but because of the uncertainty of future 860 II, 8| because of the uncertainty of future events, I dare not 861 II, 8| but commend it to the will of God. But say now, what remains 862 II, 8| it?~Boso. The substance of the inquiry was this, why 863 II, 8| became man, for the purpose of saving men by his death, 864 II, 8| shown that the restoring of mankind ought not to take 865 II, 8| able to do it in the person of God. In fine, you have shown 866 II, 8| virgin, and from the person of the Son of God, and that 867 II, 8| from the person of the Son of God, and that he could be 868 II, 8| have clearly shown the life of this man to have been so 869 II, 8| satisfaction for the sins of the whole world, and even 870 II, 8| made to God for the sins of men.~ ~ 871 II, 9| paid to God for the sins of men, and in what sense Christ 872 II, 9| to be slain for the sake of justice, he did not give 873 II, 9| give his life for the honor of God?~Boso. It should seem 874 II, 9| freely gave, for the honor of God, such a gift as surpasses 875 II, 9| to atone for all the sins of men.~Anselm.. Do you not 876 II, 9| holiness due to God on account of personal sacrifice? But 877 II, 9| surely there was no need of this, for many persons before 878 II, 9| nobly dying for the sake of the truth.~Anselm.. No man 879 II, 9| Father what there was no need of his ever losing, and paid 880 II, 9| since it was the voice of reason; for he, when not 881 II, 9| for he, when not in want of anything for himself and 882 II, 9| others, who deserved nothing of him but punishment, gave 883 II, 9| precious a life, even the life of so illustrious a personage, 884 II, 9| and all that he is capable of?~Anselm.. Though the creature 885 II, 9| the creature has nothing of himself, yet when God grants 886 II, 9| God grants him the liberty of doing or not doing a thing, 887 II, 9| before taking action upon any of these things, this he ought 888 II, 9| any command on the part of God, it is not always true. 889 II, 9| unable to understand the use of this word "debere," when 890 II, 9| like manner, as one person of the Trinity, he must have 891 II, 9| had whatever he possessed of his own right, so as to 892 II, 9| to another, nor have need of giving anything in order 893 II, 9| up to die for the honor of God, as a debt; for this 894 II, 9| he is very God, the Son of God, he offered himself 895 II, 9| honor, as well as for that of the Father and the Holy 896 II, 9| divinity, which is one person of the Triune God. But, though 897 II, 9| affirm that in speaking of one person we understand 898 II, 9| himself. And, by the names of Father and Son, a wondrous 899 II, 9| and Son, a wondrous depth of devotion is excited in the 900 II, 9| is excited in the hearts of the hearers, when it is 901 II, 0| we can, how the salvation of men rests on this.~Boso. 902 II, 0| Boso. This is the very wish of my heart. For, although 903 II, 0| from you the close chain of argument.~Anselm.. There 904 II, 0| Anselm.. There is no need of explaining how precious 905 II, 0| able to do it; but neither of these things can be attributed 906 II, 0| anterior to the great offering of the Son, all things belonging 907 II, 0| said, he left an example of suffering death to preserve 908 II, 0| they be not also partakers of his reward. Or whom could 909 II, 0| he more justly make heirs of the inheritance, which he 910 II, 0| which he does not need, and of the superfluity of his possessions, 911 II, 0| and of the superfluity of his possessions, than his 912 II, 0| when he beholds so many of them weighed down by so 913 II, 0| through poverty, in the depth of their miseries, he should 914 II, 0| Boso. The universe can hear of nothing more reasonable, 915 II, 0| and which, by the help of God, we have somewhat examined, -- 916 II, 0| plain that God had no need of doing the thing spoken of, 917 II, 0| of doing the thing spoken of, but eternal truth demanded 918 II, 0| that man did, on account of the personal union made; 919 II, 0| yet God was in no need of descending from heaven to 920 II, 0| to conquer the devil, nor of contending against him in 921 II, 0| But whatever was demanded of man, he owed to God and 922 II, 1| have found the compassion of God which appeared lost 923 II, 1| compassion can excel these words of the Father, addressed to 924 II, 1| torments and having noway of escape: "Take my only begotten 925 II, 1| yourself;" or these words of the Son: "Take me, and ransom 926 II, 2| carefully consider the scheme of human salvation, you will 927 II, 2| perceive the reconciliation of the devil, of which you 928 II, 2| reconciliation of the devil, of which you made inquiry, 929 II, 2| reconciled but by the death of the God-man, by whose holiness 930 II, 2| be saved but by the death of a God-angel who by his holiness 931 II, 2| evil occasioned by the sins of his companions. And as man 932 II, 2| not be restored by a man of a different race, though 933 II, 2| a different race, though of the same nature, so no angel 934 II, 2| other angel, though all were of the same nature, for they 935 II, 2| they are not like men, all of the same race. For all angels 936 II, 2| thinks that the redemption of our Lord ought to be extended 937 II, 2| to deny that the virtue of his death far exceeds all 938 II, 2| far exceeds all the sins of men and angels, but because 939 II, 2| rejects the reconciliation of the fallen angels.~ ~ 940 II, 3| CHAPTER XXII.~How the truth of the Old and New Testament 941 II, 3| incontrovertible. And by the solution of the single question proposed 942 II, 3| proposed do I see the truth of all that is contained in 943 II, 3| the remarks on the persons of the Trinity, and on Adam, 944 II, 3| Pagans by the mere force of reason. And the God-man 945 II, 3| confirmed by the testimony of the truth, then ought we
