501 II, 6|           before man was made he had not sinned so that he ought
502 II, 6|              sinned so that he ought not to be denied existence But
503 II, 6|              the act of creation was not for the sinner, and was
504 II, 6|              for the sinner, and was not in opposition to man's deserts.
505 II, 6|       mystery in this life, and I do not desire you to do what no
506 II, 6|           make it appear that you do not understand any reason.~Anselm..
507 II, 6|             thank God for it. But if not, let the things above said
508 II, 6|         become man, no doubt He will not lack the wisdom or the power
509 II, 6|           Christ made should benefit not only thosed who lived at
510 II, 6|             that it ought to benefit not merely those present is
511 II, 6|         evident, because there could not be so many living at the
512 II, 6|           was created when there has not been some one who was gaining
513 II, 6|            that we rest upon this as not only proper but also necessary.
514 II, 6|              And, therefore, we must not doubt that Adam and Eve
515 II, 6|            would satisfy me, were it not that he ought to be pure
516 II, 6|           purity from his mother and not from himself.~Anselm.. Not
517 II, 6|           not from himself.~Anselm.. Not so. But as the mother's
518 II, 7|             CHAPTER XVII.~How he did not die of necessity, though
519 II, 7|           necessity, though he could not be born, except as destined
520 II, 7|            before that his death was not to be a matter of necessity;
521 II, 7|           when without this he could not have been born of her. How,
522 II, 7|          born of her. How, then, was not his death necessary, when
523 II, 7|             necessary, when he could not have been, except in view
524 II, 7|         future death? For if he were not to die, the virgin of whom
525 II, 7|            of whom he was born could not be pure, since this could
526 II, 7|              death, and, if she were not pure, he could not be born
527 II, 7|              were not pure, he could not be born of her. If, therefore,
528 II, 7|              therefore, his death be not a necessary consequence
529 II, 7|           your question.~Boso. I see not how.~Anselm.. Did we not
530 II, 7|             not how.~Anselm.. Did we not find, when considering the
531 II, 7|             constituted by nature as not to wish to lie, and, therefore,
532 II, 7|             as never to die, we must not doubt that he always had
533 II, 7|            his life, though he could not wish to do so for the purpose
534 II, 7|       himself, he lays down his life not of necessity, but of free
535 II, 7|          Boso. But those powers were not in all respects similar,
536 II, 7|              you think that he could not lie, or that his death was
537 II, 7|          necessary, because be could not avoid being what he was,
538 II, 7|             can assert that he could not wish to avoid death, or
539 II, 7|          necessity, because he could not change the constitution
540 II, 7|             of his being; for he did not become man in order that
541 II, 7|              Wherefore, as you ought not to say that he could not
542 II, 7|             not to say that he could not help wishing to die, or
543 II, 7|        improper to say that he could not avoid death, or that he
544 II, 7|              of God.~Anselm.. Was it not above shown, that no desire
545 II, 7|       necessary that this man should not be able to avoid death.~
546 II, 7|            perceive.~Anselm.. Has it not in like manner appeared
547 II, 7|             the will of God, he died not necessarily, but only of
548 II, 7|            he was to die, for had it not been true that he was about
549 II, 7|            in his coming death would not have existed, by which the
550 II, 7|           then, as you say, he could not avoid death because he was
551 II, 7|        remains certain that he could not avoid death, but that it
552 II, 7|            at a straw.~Boso. Are you not forgetting my reply to the
553 II, 7|          should explain the subject, not as to learned men, but to
554 II, 8|      necessity, and what one that is not so.~Anselm.. We have already
555 II, 8|         interfere with his acting or not acting, though it be true
556 II, 8|           actual fact; still, we are not correct in saying that it
557 II, 8|        concerned, either to do it or not to do it, for his will is
558 II, 8|             cannot do a thing, we do not deny his power; on the contrary,
559 II, 8|             can be when the power is not in itself, but in something
560 II, 8|            be when the weakness does not pertain to the thing itself,
561 II, 8|            be able to be overcome is not power but weakness, and
562 II, 8|              power but weakness, and not to be able to be overcome
563 II, 8|            be able to be overcome is not weakness but power. Nor
564 II, 8|              that which is compelled not to exist is prevented from
565 II, 8|             anything is necessary or not necessary, we do not mean
566 II, 8|              or not necessary, we do not mean that, as far as he
567 II, 8|           God, the Son of God) could not avoid death, or the choice
568 II, 8|            born of the virgin, we do not imply that there was in
569 II, 8|      compelled to do so, yet we must not say that he does it of necessity,
570 II, 8|             resolution. For we ought not to say that anything is
571 II, 8|            that anything is done, or not done, by necessity or weakness,
572 II, 8|         which the human nature could not do; and that in the human
573 II, 8|            of the virgin's faith was not the cause of his dying by
574 II, 8|             a necessity as this does not compel a thing to be, but
575 II, 8|      impossible for you to speak and not to speak at the same time,
576 II, 8|          speak at the same time, and not that some one compels you
577 II, 8|           also a subsequent one; but not vice versa. For we can say
578 II, 8|       because it revolves; but it is not likewise true that, because
579 II, 8|               Wherefore if they were not save by his will, then,
580 II, 8|            by his will, then, had he not willed they would not have
581 II, 8|             he not willed they would not have existed. So then, no
582 II, 8|           this desire myself, I will not refuse you; but because
583 II, 8|             of future events, I dare not promise you, but commend
584 II, 8|           restoring of mankind ought not to take place, and could
585 II, 8|             to take place, and could not, without man paid the debt
586 II, 8|              pay the debt, but could not, might be able to do it
587 II, 9|           and in what sense he ought not, or was not bound, to suffer. ~
588 II, 9|           sense he ought not, or was not bound, to suffer. ~Anselm..
589 II, 9|              sake of justice, he did not give his life for the honor
590 II, 9|            understand, although I do not doubt it, how he could do
591 II, 9|              of men.~Anselm.. Do you not perceive that when he bore
592 II, 9|              gave to God what he was not obliged to lose, or paid
593 II, 9|          lose, or paid a debt he did not owe. But he freely offered
594 II, 9|             for sinners what he owed not for himself. Therefore he
595 II, 9|        example, that each one should not hesitate to give to God,
596 II, 9|              of reason; for he, when not in want of anything for
597 II, 9|             anything for himself and not compelled by others, who
598 II, 9|             died he gave what he did not owe. But no one will deny
599 II, 9|              God more than if he had not done it. Nor will any one
600 II, 9|              any one say that he was not bound to do what was best
601 II, 9|            can we affirm that he did not owe God the thing which
602 II, 9|              the liberty of doing or not doing a thing, he leaves
603 II, 9|           celibacy or marriage ought not to be chosen; but we say
604 II, 9|            on the part of God, it is not always true. Thus, as I
605 II, 9|          have already said, a man is not bound to celibacy as a debt,
606 II, 9|           when the ability, etc., is not in the things themselves,
607 II, 9|             poor. For this is a debt not owed by the poor but by
608 II, 9|              to be exalted over all, not because there is any obligation
609 II, 9|              what he wished, and was not bound to do anything as
610 II, 9|       complete in himself, and could not have been under obligations
611 II, 9|              see clearly that he did not give himself up to die for
612 II, 0|         Anselm.. But you surely will not think that he deserves no
613 II, 0|          else he is either unjust in not wishing to do it, or weak
614 II, 0|         wishing to do it, or weak in not being able to do it; but
615 II, 0|              something which he does not have, or else remits some
616 II, 0|             large and so deserved is not given to him or any one
617 II, 0|              imitate him, if they be not also partakers of his reward.
618 II, 0|           inheritance, which he does not need, and of the superfluity
619 II, 0|             name.~Anselm.. Certainly not, if he come aright. And
620 II, 0|            and which mortal ken does not reach. It is also plain
621 II, 0|              man, he owed to God and not to the devil.~ ~
622 II, 2|        impossible. For, as man could not be reconciled but by the
623 II, 2|          companions. And as man must not be restored by a man of
624 II, 2|            same nature, for they are not like men, all of the same
625 II, 2|            race. For all angels were not sprung from one, as all
626 II, 2|      original dignity. For, had they not sinned, they would have
627 II, 2|              been deceived. And I do not say this as if to deny that
628 II, 3|            ought we to attribute it, not to ourselves, but to God,
