  1 pre  |         fulfilled; but that it could not be fulfilled unless God
  2 I, 1 |           sufficient. This they ask, not for the sake of attaining
  3 I, 1 |               or merely by his will. Not only the learned, but also
  4 I, 2 |      established in the faith, we do not seek to understand what
  5 I, 2 |       thought or even seen that I do not satisfy him, he will rather
  6 I, 2 |            than that my intellect is not able to grasp it.~Boso.
  7 I, 2 |            grasp it.~Boso. You ought not so much to fear this, because
  8 I, 2 |             things to which you have not yet attained.~Anselm.. There
  9 I, 2 |          this subject can hardly, or not at all, be discussed between
 10 I, 2 |        separate labor, which, though not very easy, in my opinion,
 11 I, 2 |    disinclines me from your request, not only that the subject is
 12 I, 2 |       diction.~Boso. Even this ought not to deter you, because, as
 13 I, 2 |      elegantly if your language does not please him. But, to cut
 14 I, 2 |            from all excuses, you are not to fulfil this request of
 15 I, 2 |              have often promised me, not so much to make plain what
 16 I, 2 |          which higher authority does not corroborate, though I appear
 17 I, 2 |            it by argument, yet it is not to be received with any
 18 I, 2 |            to reason because they do not believe, but we, on the
 19 I, 3 |    redemption is secured, they would not ridicule our simplicity,
 20 I, 4 |              How these things appear not decisive to infidels, and
 21 I, 4 |            solid foundation, they do not appear sufficient to infidels,
 22 I, 4 |            real thing, since they do not think this belief of ours
 23 I, 4 |             described.~Anselm.. Does not the reason why God ought
 24 I, 4 |              ruined, and that it was not seemly that the purpose
 25 I, 4 |              that this purpose could not be carried into effect unless
 26 I, 5 |              redemption of man could not be effected by any other
 27 I, 5 |           made some man without sin, not of a sinful substance, and
 28 I, 5 |              a sinful substance, and not a descendant of any man,
 29 I, 5 |           been done.~Anselm.. Do you not perceive that, if any other
 30 I, 5 |           servant of a being who was not God, and whom the angels
 31 I, 5 |              and whom the angels did not serve.~ ~
 32 I, 6 |             you held, that God could not free you from it, without
 33 I, 6 |            universe by a word, could not do all these things by a
 34 I, 6 |              some other way, but did not wish to, how can you vindicate
 35 I, 6 |            punish. If, then, be does not desire to punish the sins
 36 I, 6 |          kingdom of heaven, if it be not his who created all things?
 37 I, 6 |              be proved that he could not otherwise have saved man.
 38 I, 6 |          saved man. For, if he could not have done it otherwise,
 39 I, 6 |           you enumerate? For does he not show good angels how much
 40 I, 6 |             dare you allege this? Is not the omnipotence of God everywhere
 41 I, 7 |            this way. ~MOREOVER, I do not see the force of that argument,
 42 I, 7 |        sinners; and that, if it were not so, God would have used
 43 I, 7 |            of man, for the devil had not seized man with violence,
 44 I, 7 |              in this, because he was not led to it by a love of justice,
 45 I, 7 |        malicious impulse. For he did not do this at the command of
 46 I, 7 |           and hence, by those who do not carefuIIy inspect the matter,
 47 I, 7 |              beaten, though he ought not to avenge himself, yet does
 48 I, 7 |             unjust, because he ought not to avenge himself; but as
 49 I, 7 |              to suffer justly, it is not meant that his just suffering
 50 I, 7 |             his right over man, I do not by any means think that
 51 I, 7 |      understood. For that writing is not of the devil, because it
 52 I, 7 |            man had sinned, he should not henceforth of himself have
 53 I, 7 |              spirit is out-going and not returning (est enim spiritus
 54 I, 7 |                and he who sins ought not to escape with impunity,
 55 I, 7 |              him. Wherefore we ought not to believe that, on account
 56 I, 7 |            the devil, why God should not make use of as own power
 57 I, 8 |   condescension which we speak of do not belong to his divinity,
 58 I, 8 |            to them that this man did not suffer death of his own
 59 I, 8 |               They who speak thus do not understand our belief. For
 60 I, 8 |      humiliation or infirmity, we do not refer to the majesty of
 61 I, 8 |            to free the guilty, would not himself be judged worthy
 62 I, 8 |     mentioned above. For if he could not save sinners in any other
 63 I, 8 |           however, he could, but did not wish to, how shall we sustain
 64 I, 8 |          Anselm.. God the Father did not treat that man as you seem
 65 I, 8 |           guilty. For the Father did not compel him to suffer death,
 66 I, 8 |            men.~Boso. Though it were not against his will, since
 67 I, 8 |       suffered;" and that God spared not his own Son, but gave him
 68 I, 8 |       likewise the Son says: "I came not to do my own will, but the
 69 I, 8 |         Father has given me, shall I not drink it? " And, at another
 70 I, 8 |          pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will ."
 71 I, 8 |              Father, if this cup may not pass from me except I drink
 72 I, 9 |           exalted him;" and: "I came not to do my own will; " and: "
 73 I, 9 |              will; " and: "he spared not his own Son;" and: "not
 74 I, 9 |              not his own Son;" and: "not as I will, but as you will ."
 75 I, 9 |              seems to me that you do not rightly understand the difference
 76 I, 9 |     obedience, and what he suffered, not demanded by obedience, but
 77 I, 9 |              he endured it; but I do not understand how it is that
 78 I, 9 |             it is that obedience did not demand this.~Anselm.. Ought
 79 I, 9 |            we believe that man would not have been subject to death,
 80 I, 9 |            death, and that God would not have exacted this of him;
 81 I, 9 |             Anselm.. You surely will not think it proper for God
 82 I, 9 |            is plain that, if man had not sinned, God ought not to
 83 I, 9 |            had not sinned, God ought not to compel him to die.~Anselm..
 84 I, 9 |             to die.~Anselm.. God did not, therefore, compel Christ
 85 I, 9 |      suffered death of his own will, not yielding up his life as
 86 I, 9 |              up the head." For it is not meant that he could not
 87 I, 9 |              not meant that he could not have attained his exaltation
 88 I, 9 |             death. For if a thing do not take place, except on condition
 89 I, 9 |             of something else, it is not improperly said to occur
 90 I, 9 |          that the first thing should not be done without the other.
 91 I, 9 |         therefore he crossed. And we not only use this form of expression,
 92 I, 9 |         intend to do something else, not by means of that thing,
 93 I, 9 |           taking food because he has not to-day attended the celebration
 94 I, 9 |            wished to do first, it is not improper to say to him:
 95 I, 9 |               and in favor with God; not that this was really the
 96 I, 9 |          that saying of his: "I came not to do mine own will, but
 97 I, 9 |              saying: "My doctrine is not mine ;" for what one does
 98 I, 9 |            mine ;" for what one does not have of himself, but of
 99 I, 9 |        himself, but of God, he ought not to call his own, but God'
100 I, 9 |              Christ, therefore, came not to do his own will, but
101 I, 9 |        Father; for his holy will was not derived from his humanity,
102 I, 9 |           that sentence: "God spared not his own Son, but gave him
103 I, 9 |        nothing more than that he did not rescue him. For there are
104 I, 9 |           pass from me; nevertheless not as I will, but as you will ;"
105 I, 9 |                 and "If this cup may not pass from me, except I drink
106 I, 9 |              the will of the Father, not because the Father preferred
107 I, 9 |           but because the Father was not willing to rescue the human
108 I, 9 |             Christ. Since reason did not demand of another what he
109 I, 9 |             of another what he could not do, therefore, the Son says
110 I, 9 |            the Father: "Since you do not desire the reconciliation
111 I, 9 |             a thing, because he does not choose something else, the
112 I, 9 |              we say that he who does not choose to close the window
113 I, 9 |              the Son, because he was not willing that the world should
114 I, 0 |            gave him commandment (yet not by compulsion), and the
115 I, 0 |            suffering, and spared him not, but gave him up for us
116 I, 0 |           him to a holy life, he did not have it as a human being
117 I, 0 |              so great good, he could not have had but from the Father
118 I, 0 |            invariably chooses, it is not improper to say that God
119 I, 0 |           drawing or impelling it is not to be understood that there
120 I, 0 |              him that will; who does not see that, in the same manner,
121 I, 0 |              say that the Son spared not himself, but gave himself
122 I, 0 |           whom he had this will, did not spare him but gave him up
123 I, 0 |     obedience when a rational being, not of compulsion, but freely,
124 I, 0 |              another, though he does not cause that desire. Thus
125 I, 0 |          endure that pain, yet we do not choose, nor take pleasure
126 I, 0 |             prevent a thing but does not, desires the thing which
127 I, 0 |              the thing which he does not prevent. Since, therefore,
128 I, 0 |       pleased the Father, and be did not prevent him from choosing,
129 I, 0 |             an object, though he was not pleased with his suffering.
130 I, 0 |            he said that the cup must not pass from him, except he
131 I, 0 |             him, except he drank it, not because he could not have
132 I, 0 |             it, not because he could not have escaped death had he
133 I, 0 |           been said, the world could not otherwise be saved; and
134 I, 0 |           than that the world should not be saved. It was for this
135 I, 0 |           them but by his death; and not to show that he had no power
136 I, 0 |             the belief that he died, not by compulsion, but of free
137 I, 0 |             if he were willing, does not seem becoming for such a
138 I, 0 |             s salvation, which would not otherwise be effected.~Boso.
139 I, 0 |               For otherwise, it does not seem that the Son ought
140 I, 0 |           question is, why God could not save man in some other way,
141 I, 0 |           man in this way; and it is not clear how the death of the
142 I, 0 |        unwilling to believe anything not previously proved by reason,
143 I, 0 |     understood between us that we do not admit anything in the least
144 I, 0 |            the Deity, and that we do not reject the smallest reason
145 I, 0 |             smallest reason if it be not opposed by a greater. For
146 I, 0 |            reason, however small, if not overbalanced by a greater,
147 I, 1 |             sin is nothing else than not to render to God his due.~
148 I, 1 |               but every one who does not pay it sins. This is justice,
149 I, 1 |              acceptable. He who does not render this honor which
150 I, 1 |         Moreover, so long as he does not restore what he has taken
151 I, 1 |        remains in fault; and it will not suffice merely to restore
152 I, 1 |       imperils another's safety does not enough by merely restoring
153 I, 1 |        violates another's honor does not enough by merely rendering
154 I, 1 |           give something which could not have been demanded of him,
155 I, 1 |              demanded of him, had he not stolen what belonged to
156 I, 2 |           taken from him.~Boso. I do not see why it is not proper.~
157 I, 2 |               I do not see why it is not proper.~Anselm.. To remit
158 I, 2 |          manner is nothing else than not to punish; and since it
159 I, 2 |              punish; and since it is not right to cancel sin without
160 I, 2 |              or punishment; if it be not punished, then is it passed
161 I, 2 |           reasonable.~Anselm.. It is not fitting for God to pass
162 I, 2 |           Anselm.. It is, therefore, not proper for God thus to pass
163 I, 2 |           between the guilty and the not guilty; and this is unbecoming
164 I, 2 |            thing upon us which it is not proper for him to do himself.~
165 I, 2 | inconsistency in God's commanding us not to take upon ourselves what
166 I, 2 |              things as that they may not seem to interfere with His
167 I, 2 |          just, and that what He does not wish is unjust, we must
168 I, 2 |              wish is unjust, we must not understand that if God wished
169 I, 2 |           God wishes to lie, we must not conclude that it is right
170 I, 2 |           lie, but rather that he is not God. For no will can ever
171 I, 2 |              and, therefore, it does not follow that falsehood is
172 I, 2 |             die. Wherefore, if it be not fitting for God to do anything
173 I, 2 |            or out of course, it does not belong to his liberty or
174 I, 2 |                Yet observe why it is not fitting for God to do this.~
175 I, 3 |            honor due the Creator and not restore what he takes away. ~
176 I, 3 |           honor due the Creator, and not restore what he has taken
177 I, 3 |             therefore, that you will not say that God ought to endure
178 I, 3 |             that the creature should not restore to God what he has
179 I, 3 |         defrauding him.~Boso. I dare not say so.~Anselni. Therefore
180 I, 3 |           otherwise, either God will not be just to himself, or he
181 I, 4 |          punishment of the sinner is not for God's honor when the
182 I, 4 |           honor when the sinner does not pay what he took away, but
183 I, 4 |            what pertains to man. For not only does that belong to
184 I, 4 |          will. For although God does not apply what he takes away
185 I, 5 |             made liable to injury is not entirely and perfectly preserved.~
186 I, 5 |             he ought, he honors God; not by bestowing anything upon
187 I, 5 |           him lies. But when he does not choose what he ought, he
188 I, 5 |           concerned, because he does not submit himself freely to
189 I, 5 |          freely given, or if this be not given, the exaction of punishment,
190 I, 5 |            For if Divine wisdom were not to insist upon things, when
191 I, 5 |             And these two things are not only unfitting, but consequently
192 I, 6 |            other questions.~Boso. Be not angry with me; "for the
193 I, 6 |          greater. For either God did not know in what number it was
194 I, 6 |              that number, they could not continue to exist, and so
195 I, 7 |           who fell. ~Boso. Why could not they themselves be restored,
196 I, 7 |              stand firm in truth are not equally deserving of praise,
197 I, 7 |          eternal reward. For it must not for a moment be supposed
198 I, 7 |            of a part, the rest could not be upheld, it would follow,
199 I, 7 |            of the reason why God did not bestow perseverance upon
200 I, 7 |            number of men chosen will not be less than that of fallen
201 I, 8 |         plain that their number will not be greater. But if that
202 I, 8 |              But if that number were not found in all the angels
203 I, 8 |         shall say that men were made not only to restore the diminished
204 I, 8 |             number or that they were not?~Anselm.. I will state my
205 I, 8 |             account in Genesis, I do not think that I can prove from
206 I, 8 |              possible that they were not perfect in number, because
207 I, 8 |              complete that which was not yet perfect, or, if it were
208 I, 8 |              successive creation are not to be understood like such
209 I, 8 |            the belief that there was not, originally, that complete
210 I, 8 |             that man and angels were not created at the same time,
211 I, 8 |            understood as consisting, not so much in the number of
212 I, 8 |         superfluous, which we should not dare affirm of the nature
213 I, 8 |             was made for itself, and not merely to restore the number
214 I, 8 |            it follows that there was not a perfect number of angels,
215 I, 8 |       perfect number.~Boso. You have not labored in vain.~Anselm..
216 I, 8 |             opinion that angels were not created perfect in number.~
217 I, 8 |        angels, it is plain that, had not some angels fallen from
218 I, 8 |            from this fault, had they not fallen, viz., from rejoicing
219 I, 8 |         without this fault!~Boso. Is not the case similar to that
220 I, 8 |            will be certain that, had not another fallen, he would
221 I, 8 |            to make up that which was not yet complete in the number
222 I, 8 |          ought to know that he would not have attained this height
223 I, 8 |         angels, the incongruity will not follow which must follow
224 I, 8 |             must follow if there are not more men elected; and since
225 I, 8 |      necessary fact that angels were not made perfect in number,
226 I, 8 |           doomed angels.~Boso. I see not how this can be denied.~
227 I, 8 |          renewed, and that this will not take place until the number
228 I, 8 |          inferior nature, which knew not God, might not be perfected
229 I, 8 |            which knew not God, might not be perfected before the
230 I, 8 |              from the fact that, had not Adam sinned, God might yet
231 I, 8 |        immortality, that is, a power not to die, but since it was
232 I, 8 |          them to die, this power was not immortal, as if, indeed,
233 I, 8 |              as if, indeed, they had not been capable of death. But
234 I, 8 |           that either that state was not complete in the number of
235 I, 8 |            perfect in number, it was not in confirmation, and its
236 I, 8 |              that confirmation could not be deferred so long, the
237 I, 8 |             after this renewal would not exist, before any reason
238 I, 8 |              that, since angels were not complete in number, their
239 I, 8 |              their confirmation will not be long deferred on this
240 I, 8 |              take place, for this is not fitting. But that God should
241 I, 8 |           first parents, if they had not sinned as they did, he would
242 I, 8 |            persevered. For, although not yet advanced to that equality
243 I, 8 |             original holiness, so as not to have sinned though tempted,
244 I, 8 |            sin of Adam), so had they not sinned, human nature would
245 I, 8 |              the celestial state was not complete in its original
246 I, 8 |             angels?~Anselm.. This is not discordant with the previous
247 I, 8 |           previous opinion, if it be not certain that the number
248 I, 8 |               that if I say anything not upheld by greater authority,
249 I, 8 |              discuss; for if we know not whether there are to be
250 I, 8 |           other, I think the soul is not in danger; if, I say, in
251 I, 8 |              number of that kingdom, not yet completed, shall be
252 I, 8 |             from among men. But I do not now see why angels only,
253 I, 8 |       children of Israel"; for it is not improper to call holy men "
254 I, 8 |          alike in malice; why should not a good man be called an
255 I, 8 |         ranks filled by men, it does not follow that the number of
256 I, 8 |              I think, that there was not among angels, before the
257 I, 8 |         about the angels, for it has not been for nought. Now let
258 I, 9 |         otherwise they who fell will not be restored, and it will
259 I, 9 |         follow that God either could not accomplish the good which
260 I, 9 |             Anselm.. Therefore it is not fitting that God should
261 I, 9 |          lost angels; for truth will not suffer man thus to be raised
262 I, 9 |             defiled, and which could not be taken from his hands
263 I, 9 |              How can I? for would it not be far better to keep and
264 I, 9 |             polluted?~Anselm.. Would not God be acting like this,
265 I, 9 |           the devil, the devil could not have tempted man. Now I
266 I, 9 |        tempted man. Now I say, would not God be acting like this,
267 I, 9 |             thrust out?~Boso. I dare not deny the aptness of your
268 I, 9 |            do this, and therefore do not admit that he can do this.
269 I, 9 |            seem either that be could not accomplish what he designed,
270 I, 9 |          pray God to put it away? Is not God unjust to demand what
271 I, 9 |              been paid? But if we do not make payment, why do we
272 I, 9 |     unbecoming?~Anselm.. He who does not pay says in vain: "Pardon";
273 I, 9 |              and, therefore, it does not become man to treat with
274 I, 9 |             equal. But of this it is not now needful for me to answer
275 I, 9 |          were I so disposed, I could not doubt it.~ ~
276 I, 0 |             in all these?~Boso. Do I not honor God, when, for his
277 I, 0 |            your past sin, you should not reckon this as the debt
278 I, 0 |             such grief that you have not yet reached this object,
279 I, 0 |            joy in nothing which does not help you or give encouragement
280 I, 0 |             your success. For you do not deserve to have a thing
281 I, 0 |            have a thing which you do not love and desire for its
282 I, 0 |             that what you give comes not from yourself, but from
283 I, 0 |             by; and that he who will not bestow what he has ought
284 I, 0 |             bestow what he has ought not to receive what he has not.
285 I, 0 |           not to receive what he has not. Of forgiveness, indeed,
286 I, 0 |        belongs to you, since you are not your own, nor is he who
287 I, 0 |             your obedience, which is not owed him already, since
288 I, 0 |           become?~Boso. Truly I dare not say that in all these things
289 I, 0 |            my powers, even when I do not sin, I have nothing left
290 I, 0 |              religion as if they did not exist, when we proposed
291 I, 1 |        Anselm.. Suppose that you did not owe any of those things
292 I, 1 |             will of God.~Boso. Did I not hear you question the thing,
293 I, 1 |          this sin.~Anselm.. You have not as yet estimated the great
294 I, 1 |             hand, should say: "It is not my will that you should
295 I, 1 |              that I cannot.~Anselm.. Not to detain you too long;
296 I, 1 |          case of man, who often does not know what is useful for
297 I, 1 |            must confess that I ought not to oppose the will of God
298 I, 1 |            always enjoins it upon us not to sin.~Boso. I cannot deny
299 I, 1 |             of sin, because He ought not to.~Boso. This decision
300 I, 1 |         drive me to despair, were it not for the consolation of faith.~
301 I, 2 |              to conquer the devil by not yielding to his temptation,
302 I, 2 |          dwelling upon earth, should not sin though tempted by the
303 I, 2 |         Decide for yourself if it be not contrary to the honor of
304 I, 3 |       ignorant of them.~Anselm.. Did not man take from God whatever
305 I, 3 |           this justice?~Boso. I dare not think it.~Anselm.. Therefore
306 I, 3 |       Therefore man cannot and ought not by any means to receive
307 I, 3 |       tainted with sin, and God will not choose one of such a race
308 I, 4 |             How, as long as man does not restore what he owes God,
309 I, 4 |            is called unjust who does not pay his fellow-man a debt,
310 I, 4 |           more is he unjust who does not restore what he owes God.~
311 I, 4 |              he can pay and yet does not, he is certainly unjust.
312 I, 4 |       certainly unjust. But if he be not able, wherein is he unjust?~
313 I, 4 |         origin of his inability were not in himself, there might
314 I, 4 |           lies the fault, as it does not lessen the sin, neither
315 I, 4 |               and should command him not to throw himself into a
316 I, 4 |              and from which he could not extricate himself; and suppose
317 I, 4 |           will at all excuse him for not doing his appointed work?~
318 I, 4 |             doubly has he sinned, in not doing what he was commanded
319 I, 4 |         doing what he was forewarned not to do.~Anselm.. Just so
320 I, 4 |              his previous obligation not to sin, nor pay the debt
321 I, 4 |              guilt, because he ought not to have it; nay, he ought
322 I, 4 |             it; for as it is a crime not to have what he ought, it
323 I, 4 |          crime to have what he ought not. Therefore, as it is a crime
324 I, 4 |              as it is a crime in man not to have that power which
325 I, 4 |             into this inability. For not to have the power which
326 I, 4 |            inability which one ought not to have. Therefore man's
327 I, 4 |              that very purpose, does not excuse man from paying;
328 I, 4 |              Man, then, is unjust in not paying what he owes to God.~
329 I, 4 |            for he is unjust, both in not paying, and in not being
330 I, 4 |           both in not paying, and in not being able to pay.~Anselm..
331 I, 4 |              belong to no one who is not so pure as to have no injustice
332 I, 4 |           found in him.~Boso. I dare not think otherwise.~Anselm..
333 I, 4 |          Anselm.. He, then, who does not pay God what he owes can
334 I, 4 |             sin, a thing which ought not to be given up even to save
335 I, 4 |         because he has what he ought not to have. For he ought not
336 I, 4 |            not to have. For he ought not to have this inability,
337 I, 4 |             pardons the man who does not pay his debt because he
338 I, 4 |          Anselm.. But while man does not make payment, he either
339 I, 4 |             restore, or else he does not wish to. Now, if he wishes
340 I, 4 |             be needy, and if he does not wish to, he will be unjust.~
341 I, 4 |             needy or unjust, he will not be happy.~Boso. This also
342 I, 4 |            So long, then, as he does not restore, he will not be
343 I, 4 |            does not restore, he will not be happy.~Boso. If God follows
344 I, 4 |       explanation; now hear it. I do not deny that God is merciful,
345 I, 4 |          above, that happiness ought not to be bestowed upon any
346 I, 4 |              any one whose sins have not been wholly put away; and
347 I, 4 |            that this remission ought not to take place, save by the
348 I, 4 |            mention them.~Boso. I see not how your reasons can be
349 I, 4 |              what he owes, and ought not to be saved without paying?
350 I, 4 |           themselves with us, who do not doubt that man can be saved
351 I, 5 |            possible. ~Anselm.. Is it not sufficiently proved that
352 I, 5 |        Christ, when even infidels do not deny that man can be happy
353 I, 5 |            can man be saved, or else not at all. If, then, it is
354 I, 5 |              any other way, and yet, not understanding how he can
355 I, 5 |     necessary truth, because he does not understand how it can be?~
356 I, 5 |          impossible.~Anselm.. Do you not perceive, from what we have
357 I, 5 |           though the method of it be not understood.~Boso. What you
358 I, 5 |       question further?~Boso. I come not for this purpose, to have
359 I, 5 |              God help me, for you do not spare me in the least, nor
360 I, 5 |         attempt it, as I have begun, not trusting in myself but in
361 II, 1|              God. ~Anselm.. It ought not to be disputed that rational
362 II, 1|             in vain. But God made it not rational in vain. Wherefore,
363 II, 1|         according to it. But it does not befit God to give such power
364 II, 1|              then something else and not itself would be the thing
365 II, 1|              Therefore that it might not in vain be made rational,
366 II, 1|            and chose, or else it was not. But if it were not made
367 II, 1|              was not. But if it were not made holy for this end,
368 II, 1|            will, inasmuch as it does not have what it desires. But
369 II, 2|              that man was so made as not to be necessarily subject
370 II, 3|            Therefore, as man, had he not sinned, was to have been
371 II, 3|           perfectly restored, but is not necessary as respects the
372 II, 5|            may be necessary, God may not do it by a compulsory necessity;
373 II, 5|           the favor. For this should not be called necessity but
374 II, 5|           undertook or maintains it, not with any constraint, but
375 II, 5|          precious gift as if you had not promised it, for you were
376 II, 5|            promised it, for you were not obliged to make yourself
377 II, 5|            his vow cheerfully, he is not less but more pleasing to
378 II, 5|       pleasing to God than if he had not vowed. For he has not only
379 II, 5|            had not vowed. For he has not only given up the life of
380 II, 5|             though, indeed, it would not be proper for him to fail
381 II, 5|            begun it for our sake and not his own. For what man was
382 II, 5|              man was about to do was not hidden from God at his creation;
383 II, 5|            by necessity, since he is not compelled or restrained
384 II, 5|              which he certainly does not fear, we must mean that
385 II, 5|            to him in himself, and is not derived from another; and
386 II, 5|         another; and therefore it is not properly called necessity.
387 II, 6|            this, other wise man does not make the satisfaction.~Boso.
388 II, 7|            that case be only God and not man, or man only and not
389 II, 7|             not man, or man only and not God. Or, if they were so
390 II, 7|              is produced, which does not preserve entire the species
391 II, 7|            and yet that which is God not be the same with that which
392 II, 7|           accomplished. For God will not do it, because he has no
393 II, 7|            debt to pay; and man will not do it, because he cannot.
394 II, 7|              For he cannot and ought not to do it, unless he be very
395 II, 8|               if he makes a new man, not of Adam's race, then this
396 II, 8|             race, then this man will not belong to the human family,
397 II, 8|            Adam, and therefore ought not to make atonement for it,
398 II, 8|           and his whole race, had he not sinned, would have stood
399 II, 8|              reinstated by any being not of the same race, it will
400 II, 8|            of the same race, it will not be restored to that dignity
401 II, 8|         which it would have had, had not Adam sinned, and so will
402 II, 8|             Adam sinned, and so will not be completely restored;
403 II, 8|             born of a virgin, or one not a virgin, we need not discuss,
404 II, 8|            one not a virgin, we need not discuss, but must affirm,
405 II, 8|           more sound.~Anselm.. Paint not, therefore, upon baseless
406 II, 8|            woman. And that women may not despair of attaining the
407 II, 9|        things are incongruous and do not pertain to the incarnation
408 II, 9|              or left.~Anselm.. It is not I who lead you, but he of
409 II, 0|         CHAPTER X.~How this man dies not of debt; and in what sense
410 II, 0|              sin. ~Anselm.. We ought not to question whether this
411 II, 0|           men do. For, if Adam would not have died had he not committed
412 II, 0|           would not have died had he not committed sin, much less
413 II, 0|           say a word concerning him, not as of one who never existed
414 II, 0|             shall we say that it was not possible for him to commit
415 II, 0|             If I say that I know him not, I shall be a liar, like
416 II, 0|              the words : "I know him not," who says that he could
417 II, 0|               who says that he could not have uttered these same
418 II, 0|           have declared, "I know him not?" Now had he done so, he
419 II, 0|               and also that he could not sin.~Boso. How is that?~
420 II, 0|          choose. For, if the will be not implied as acting, there
421 II, 0|           bound unwillingly, this is not my power, but necessity
422 II, 0|              so. And, since he could not lie unwillingly and could
423 II, 0|            lie unwillingly and could not wish to lie, none the less
424 II, 0|             it be said that he could not lie. So in this way it is
425 II, 0|              that he could and could not lie.~Boso. Now let us return
426 II, 0|           according to you, he could not wish to sin, he maintains
427 II, 0|     necessity, and therefore he will not be holy from free will.
428 II, 0|             reward, which they would not have done had they been
429 II, 0|       necessarily holy.~Anselm.. Are not the angels worthy of praise,
430 II, 0|              cannot sin, and yet has not deserved this, by refusing
431 II, 0|          when he had the power? Must not he be praised for his holiness?~
432 II, 0|              Anselm.. The angels are not to be praised for their
433 II, 0|            to give a thing, who does not take it away when he can;
434 II, 0|             thing is but the same as not to prevent it, when that
435 II, 0|            from holiness and yet did not, and could make himself
436 II, 0|          make himself unholy yet did not, we say with propriety that
437 II, 0|              holiness, because he is not holy of necessity but freely;
438 II, 0|              possesses and maintains not by any necessity, but, as
439 II, 0|           from himself, will be holy not of necessity but voluntarily,
440 II, 0|              both true that he could not sin, and yet that he deserves
441 II, 0|          make such a man, why he did not create angels and our first
442 II, 0|           therefore I ask why he did not make them so.~Anselm.. Because
443 II, 0|            And if you ask why he did not bring the three persons,
444 II, 0|           answer: Because reason did not at all demand any such thing
445 II, 0|       conclude, then, that he should not be subject to death, inasmuch
446 II, 0|           death, inasmuch as he will not be a sinner.~Boso. I must
447 II, 1|               and how mortality does not inhere in the essential
448 II, 1|         nature mortal.~Anselm.. I do not think mortality inheres
449 II, 1|            he who was immortal could not be man. Wherefore, neither
450 II, 1|           all respects. And so it is not enough to prove that that
451 II, 1|              know of none, if you do not, by which we may prove that
452 II, 1|             can die.~Anselm.. We may not doubt that, as he will be
453 II, 1|              take it again.~Boso. If not, he would scarcely seem
454 II, 1|      unwilling to allow it, he couId not be slain.~Boso. To this
455 II, 1|            which he presents to God, not of debt but freely, ought
456 II, 1|           this should be? For he may not give himself to God, or
457 II, 1|       anything of his, as if God did not have what was his own. For
458 II, 1|           honor of God, which he did not owe as a debtor.~Boso. So
459 II, 1|       subject to his will, this will not be giving a thing not demanded
460 II, 1|           will not be giving a thing not demanded of him by God as
461 II, 1|            God's honor. For God will not demand this of him as a
462 II, 1|              will be found, he ought not to die, as we have already
463 II, 1|              sinned with ease, is it not fitting for him to atone
464 II, 1|           sinning against him, is it not right that man, in making
465 II, 1|           possible difficulty? Is it not proper that, since man has
466 II, 1|        suffer death voluntarily when not bound by obligation; and
467 II, 1|              whom we seek for should not only be one who is not necessarily
468 II, 1|        should not only be one who is not necessarily subject to death
469 II, 1|        omnipotence, and one who does not deserve death on account
470 II, 1|          dying men, that they should not deviate from holiness because
