  2 pre  |         which man was made should be fulfilled; but that it could

  4 pre  |         the face of it, there may be nothing in the whole body
  5 I, 1 |         reason, but that they may be gladdened by understanding
  6 I, 1 |         far as possible, they may be always ready to convince
  7 I, 1 |            although what ought to be sufficient has been said
  8 I, 2 |         those things which are to be said should be received.~
  9 I, 2 |       which are to be said should be received.~Boso. As the right
 10 I, 2 |         freely received, you will be worthy to receive higher
 11 I, 2 |        can hardly, or not at all, be discussed between us comprehensively;
 12 I, 2 |     another that none of them can be fully examined without the
 13 I, 2 |       object, and what remains to be said we can put off to another
 14 I, 2 |       fear, lest, as I am wont to be incensed against sorry artists,
 15 I, 2 |          I wish all that I say to be received with this understanding,
 16 I, 2 |        argument, yet it is not to be received with any further
 17 I, 2 |        inquiry at rest, it should be concluded that a wiser than
 18 I, 2 |          that a wiser than I will be able to do this more fully;
 19 I, 2 |           seems to oppose, let it be mine to urge this inconsistency
 20 I, 3 |           s obedience life should be restored. And, as sin, the
 21 I, 3 |    righteousness and salvation to be born of a woman. And so
 22 I, 3 |        eating of the tree, should be vanquished by man in the
 23 I, 4 |           Boso. These things must be admitted to be beautiful,
 24 I, 4 |        things must be admitted to be beautiful, and like so many
 25 I, 4 |       consider us, as it were, to be painting upon a cloud. Therefore
 26 I, 4 |      existence of the truth first be shown, I mean, the necessity,
 27 I, 4 |        pictures of the body, must be described.~Anselm.. Does
 28 I, 4 |       that this purpose could not be carried into effect unless
 29 I, 5 |       redemption of man could not be effected by any other being
 30 I, 5 |          deliverance were said to be effected somehow by any
 31 I, 5 |          death, man would rightly be adjudged as the servant
 32 I, 5 |           that being? Now if this be so, he would in no wise
 33 I, 5 |           so, he would in no wise be restored to that dignity
 34 I, 5 |        sinned. For he, who was to be through eternity only the
 35 I, 5 |        the holy angels, would now be the servant of a being who
 36 I, 6 |       desire to punish. If, then, be does not desire to punish
 37 I, 6 |          kingdom of heaven, if it be not his who created all
 38 I, 6 |           support this, unless it be proved that he could not
 39 I, 7 |       that this might well enough be said, if the devil or man
 40 I, 7 |           thieves. For what could be more just than for God to
 41 I, 7 |        what injustice would there be in this? For, though man
 42 I, 7 |            though man deserved to be tormented by the devil,
 43 I, 7 |           suitable way for him to be punished than by that being
 44 I, 7 |         means think that it is to be so understood. For that
 45 I, 7 |           this writing, there can be found any justice on the
 46 I, 7 |           an evil angel there can be no justice at all. There
 47 I, 8 |          that these things should be said of him even as a man;
 48 I, 8 |          The will of God ought to be a sufficient reason for
 49 I, 8 |          That is very true, if it be granted that God does wish
 50 I, 8 |          does wish anything if it be inconsistent with reason.~
 51 I, 8 |        and that God cannot at all be brought down from his exaltation,
 52 I, 8 |       nature of man we believe to be exalted.~Boso. Be it so;
 53 I, 8 |      believe to be exalted.~Boso. Be it so; let nothing be referred
 54 I, 8 |       Boso. Be it so; let nothing be referred to the Divine nature,
 55 I, 8 |    weakness; but how will it ever be made out a just or reasonable
 56 I, 8 |         should treat or suffer to be treated in such a manner,
 57 I, 8 |         guilty, would not himself be judged worthy of condemnation?
 58 I, 8 |       death, or even allow him to be slain, against his will,
 59 I, 8 |     another time : "Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass
 60 I, 8 |      except I drink it, your will be done." In all these passages
 61 I, 9 |        for this purpose, viz., to be happy in the enjoyment of
 62 I, 9 |         blessedness. For it would be a miserable thing for man
 63 I, 9 |     account of it. It may, indeed be said, that the Father commanded
 64 I, 9 |          how far obedience should be maintained. Now the word "
 65 I, 9 |      didicit," which is used, can be understood in two ways.For
 66 I, 9 |          the death of the cross," be added: "wherefore God also
 67 I, 9 |          by means of which it may be done; when the first thing
 68 I, 9 |            it is properly said to be on account of the other;
 69 I, 9 |        the first thing should not be done without the other.
 70 I, 9 |         boat has returned, it may be properly said of me: the
 71 I, 9 |            when Christ is said to be exalted on this account,
 72 I, 9 |          his exaltation. This may be understood also in the same
 73 I, 9 |           he says: "Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass
 74 I, 9 |      except I drink it, your will be done;" he signifies by his
 75 I, 9 |        that the human race should be lost; as if he were to say
 76 I, 9 |         let your will, therefore, be done, that is, let my death
 77 I, 9 |      place, so that the world may be reconciled to you." For
 78 I, 9 |        light, wishes the light to be extinguished. So the Father
 79 I, 9 |     willing that the world should be saved in any other way,
 80 I, 0 |        and how otherwise they can be correctly explained. ~IT
 81 I, 0 |         or impelling it is not to be understood that there is
 82 I, 0 |          given. If then it cannot be denied that the Father drew
 83 I, 0 |       which he suffered; that is, be learned how great was the
 84 I, 0 |         how great was the work to be accomplished by obedience.
 85 I, 0 |           pleased the Father, and be did not prevent him from
 86 I, 0 |         world could not otherwise be saved; and it was his fixed
 87 I, 0 |         that the world should not be saved. It was for this reason,
 88 I, 0 |        mentioned, they are all to be explained in accordance
 89 I, 0 |          A man cannot, therefore, be properly said to have been
 90 I, 0 |            that God allows him to be so treated, even if he were
 91 I, 0 |          Son in his desire, if it be praiseworthy as relates
 92 I, 0 |         which would not otherwise be effected.~Boso. The question
 93 I, 0 |          the death of the Son can be proved reasonable and necessary.
 94 I, 0 |           the least unbecoming to be ascribed to the Deity, and
 95 I, 0 |         the smallest reason if it be not opposed by a greater.
 96 I, 0 |        that this agreement should be preserved between us in
 97 I, 0 |        had never taken place; and be it agreed between us that
 98 I, 0 |           happiness, which cannot be attained in this life, and
 99 I, 1 |          rational creature should be subject to the will of God.~
100 I, 1 |          a will only, when it can be exercised, that does works
101 I, 1 |         and when this will cannot be exercised, it is pleasing
102 I, 2 | compensation or punishment; if it be not punished, then is it
103 I, 2 |        thing which follows if sin be passed by unpunished, viz.,
104 I, 2 |          that with God there will be no difference between the
105 I, 2 |           I cannot conceive it to be otherwise.~Anselm.. Injustice,
106 I, 2 |        since God is so free as to be subject to no law, and to
107 I, 2 |         nothing more merciful can be conceived; and nothing is
108 I, 2 |          thing for us to say that be is wholly unwilling or unable
109 I, 2 |          fitting; nor should that be called mercy which does
110 I, 2 |        anything improper it would be just, simply because he
111 I, 2 |            unless the will itself be impaired by forsaking truth.
112 I, 2 |     falsehood is right, except it be understood in the same manner
113 I, 2 |       impossible things: "If this be true, then that follows;
114 I, 2 |          say: "Supposing water to be dry, and fire to be moist;"
115 I, 2 |      water to be dry, and fire to be moist;" for neither is the
116 I, 2 |      should die. Wherefore, if it be not fitting for God to do
117 I, 3 |           How nothing less was to be endured, in the order of
118 I, 3 |          there is nothing less to be endured than that the creature
119 I, 3 |       which so great an evil must be endured.~Boso. This, also,
120 I, 3 |       Boso. No; I think it should be wholly denied.~Anselm..
121 I, 3 |           if he allows himself to be so defrauded of it as that
122 I, 3 |         the honor taken away must be repaid, or punishment must
123 I, 3 |    otherwise, either God will not be just to himself, or he will
124 I, 3 |       just to himself, or he will be weak in respect to both
125 I, 3 |       nothing more reasonable can be said.~ ~
126 I, 4 |       since man was so made as to be able to attain happiness
127 I, 5 |          God suffers his honor to be violated even in the least
128 I, 5 |           why does he allow it to be violated even in the least
129 I, 5 |   preserved.~Anselm.. Nothing can be added to or taken from the
130 I, 5 |          of the heavens desire to be elsewhere than under the
131 I, 5 |          under the heavens, or to be further removed from the
132 I, 5 |           no place where they can be but under the heavens, nor
133 I, 5 |          freely given, or if this be not given, the exaction
134 I, 5 |          appointment, there would be, in the very universe which
135 I, 5 |           and God would appear to be deficient in his management.
136 I, 5 |         know of nothing which can be said against this.~Anselm..
137 I, 6 |           of angels who fell must be made up from men. ~Anselm..
138 I, 6 |         in other questions.~Boso. Be not angry with me; "for
139 I, 6 |       number, so that there would be an unfitness in its being
140 I, 6 |           fell were made so as to be within that number; or,
141 I, 6 |    Therefore, since they ought to be of that number, either their
142 I, 6 |        number should of necessity be made up, or else rational
143 I, 6 |       incomplete. But this cannot be.~Boso. Doubtless, then,
144 I, 6 |  Doubtless, then, the number must be restored.~Anselm.. But this
145 I, 6 |         this restoration can only be made from human beings,
146 I, 7 |         could not they themselves be restored, or other angels
147 I, 7 |           But other angels cannot be substituted for them on
148 I, 7 |             because they ought to be such as the former angels
149 I, 7 |          it must not for a moment be supposed that good angels
150 I, 7 |          part, the rest could not be upheld, it would follow,
151 I, 7 |       either that none could ever be upheld, or else that it
152 I, 7 |         that the evil angels must be restored from the human
153 I, 7 |     number of men chosen will not be less than that of fallen
154 I, 7 |          you can, whether it will be greater.~ ~
155 I, 8 |         XVIII.~Whether there will be more holy men than evil
156 I, 8 |        that their number will not be greater. But if that number
157 I, 8 |          original deficiency must be made up from men, and more
158 I, 8 |       from men, and more men will be chosen than there were fallen
159 I, 8 |    successive creation are not to be understood like such days
160 I, 8 |       heaven's empire there would be more than the complete number
161 I, 8 |           deficiency alone should be made up, but if any fell,
162 I, 8 |        fell, the lost part should be restored; and that human
163 I, 8 |         angels, to whom it should be equal, were advanced after
164 I, 8 |        the created universe is to be understood as consisting,
165 I, 8 |       must fall, because it would be impossible that any should
166 I, 8 |           the other; how can they be justified in this unholy
167 I, 8 |     others?" We reply: Cannot men be made free from this fault?
168 I, 8 |            nay, how ought they to be happy with this fault? With
169 I, 8 |           arise?~Boso. Whence, to be sure, but from the fact
170 I, 8 |         that each individual will be certain that, had not another
171 I, 8 |       this certainty, there would be no cause for one to rejoice
172 I, 8 |             If, then, there shall be a larger number than that
173 I, 8 |      impossible that there should be anything incongruous in
174 I, 8 |       number, and that there will be more happy men than doomed
175 I, 8 |            I see not how this can be denied.~Anselm.. I think
176 I, 8 |           that another reason can be brought to support this
177 I, 8 |       substance of the world must be renewed, and that this will
178 I, 8 |         its completion there will be no change. Whence it may
179 I, 8 |          no change. Whence it may be reasoned that God planned
180 I, 8 |           knew not God, might not be perfected before the superior
181 I, 8 |          which he designed should be made out, and men themselves
182 I, 8 |           out, and men themselves be transferred, so to speak,
183 I, 8 |         and its confirmation must be deferred, even had no one
184 I, 8 |       that confirmation could not be deferred so long, the renewal
185 I, 8 |         renewal of the world must be hastened that both events
186 I, 8 |       their confirmation will not be long deferred on this account,
187 I, 8 |       they were so weakened as to be unable, in themselves, to
188 I, 8 |         original number, but must be completed from among men.~
189 I, 8 |         of elect men taken should be understood as equal to that
190 I, 8 |           previous opinion, if it be not certain that the number
191 I, 8 |           who stood. For if there be more elect than evil angels,
192 I, 8 |          and elect men must needs be substituted for the evil
193 I, 8 |           in that case there will be more holy men than evil
194 I, 8 |     demonstrate it, yet it should be received with no further
195 I, 8 |       which opposite opinions may be held without hazard, as
196 I, 8 |          not whether there are to be more men elected than the
197 I, 8 |           the opinion that should be held, I think there is no
198 I, 8 |      think there is no censure to be given. As to the passage
199 I, 8 |           Or by angels of God may be understood holy angels only,
200 I, 8 |        throng of elect men, is to be taken, or that there will
201 I, 8 |         taken, or that there will be a people in this stage of
202 I, 8 |          not yet completed, shall be made up from among men.
203 I, 8 |        And they can also properly be called "angels of God,"
204 I, 8 |         why should not a good man be called an angel, because
205 I, 8 |         will exist and there will be a natural increase among
206 I, 8 |             only holy men; it may be explained in two ways: that "
207 I, 8 |        that is, so many men, will be taken as there are holy
208 I, 8 |       that there will continue to be a people in this stage of
209 I, 8 | translation that as many men will be taken as there were angels
210 I, 8 |        that there are more men to be saved than the number of
211 I, 9 |       CHAPTER XIX.~How man cannot be saved without satisfaction
212 I, 9 |          Therefore there ought to be in the heavenly empire as
213 I, 9 |  otherwise they who fell will not be restored, and it will follow
214 I, 9 |           fitting that men should be equal with good angels.~
215 I, 9 |       will not suffer man thus to be raised to an equality with
216 I, 9 |      defiled, and which could not be taken from his hands without
217 I, 9 |          if he should allow it to be struck from his hand and
218 I, 9 |           can I? for would it not be far better to keep and preserve
219 I, 9 |            Anselm.. Would not God be acting like this, who held
220 I, 9 |          Now I say, would not God be acting like this, should
221 I, 9 |           should seem either that be could not accomplish what
222 I, 9 |         he designed, or else that be repented of his good intent,
223 I, 9 |        for man cannot in this way be restored, or become such
224 I, 9 |       attain happiness in sin, or be freed from sin without satisfaction
225 I, 0 |        That satisfaction ought to be proportionate to guilt;
226 I, 0 |          that satisfaction should be proportionate to guilt.~
227 I, 0 |        inordinatum), which cannot be, for God leaves nothing
228 I, 0 |        mortal state, there should be such love and such desire
229 I, 0 |          man to man, as you would be done by; and that he who
230 I, 0 |         of you then? How will you be saved?~Boso. Merely looking
231 I, 0 |        works by love," that I may be saved, and the more, since
232 I, 0 |          his transgressions shall be forgotten.~Anselm.. This
233 I, 1 |       like manner, my reply would be the same.~Anselm.. You cannot
234 I, 1 |         less difficult for man to be reconciled to God.~Boso.
235 I, 2 |        when he allowed himself to be conquered by the devil;
236 I, 2 |           by the devil; for which be can make no satisfaction. ~
237 I, 2 |        accord, allowed himself to be brought over to the will
238 I, 2 |         Decide for yourself if it be not contrary to the honor
239 I, 2 |           honor of God for man to be reconciled to Him, with
240 I, 2 |          Now the victory ought to be of this kind, that, as in
241 I, 2 |     avoiding sin. But this cannot be done, so long as from the
242 I, 2 |           s reconciliation cannot be justly effected, and the
243 I, 3 |        when he allowed himself to be overcome by the devil?~Boso.
244 I, 3 |         the evil things which can be added to those already shown
245 I, 3 |        God in allowing himself to be conquered by the devil;
246 I, 3 |           s victory the devil may be despoiled, and God recover

248 I, 3 |         His loss. But this cannot be effected except in this
249 I, 3 |          victory, as many men may be justified from sin as are
250 I, 4 |       what he owes God, he cannot be happy, nor is he excused
251 I, 4 |       certainly unjust. But if he be not able, wherein is he
252 I, 4 |           in himself, there might be some excuse for him. But
253 I, 4 |      before pointed out, so as to be utterly unable to accomplish
254 I, 4 |            nor pay the debt which be has incurred by sin. For
255 I, 4 |         have it; nay, he ought to be free from it; for as it
256 I, 4 |     exceedingly weighty, and must be true.~Anselm.. Man, then,
257 I, 4 |        But no unjust person shall be admitted to happiness; for
258 I, 4 |        God what he owes can never be happy.~Boso. I cannot deny
259 I, 4 |           he cannot pay; God must be said to dispense with one
260 I, 4 |          thing which ought not to be given up even to save the
261 I, 4 |          Therefore, as God cannot be inconsistent with himself,
262 I, 4 |    himself, his compassion cannot be of this nature.~Boso. I
263 I, 4 |           what he cannot, he will be needy, and if he does not
264 I, 4 |         does not wish to, he will be unjust.~Boso. Nothing can
265 I, 4 |         unjust.~Boso. Nothing can be plainer.~Anselm.. But whether
266 I, 4 |      needy or unjust, he will not be happy.~Boso. This also is
267 I, 4 |          not restore, he will not be happy.~Boso. If God follows
268 I, 4 |       that happiness ought not to be bestowed upon any one whose
269 I, 4 |           that any objections can be brought against these proofs,
270 I, 4 |          not how your reasons can be at all invalidated.~Anselm..
271 I, 4 |           one of the whole number be confirmed by impregnable
272 I, 4 |    impregnable truth, that should be sufficient. For truth is
273 I, 4 |          against all doubt, if it be demonstrably proved by one
274 I, 4 |          But how, then, shall man be saved, if he neither pays
275 I, 4 |         he owes, and ought not to be saved without paying? Or,
276 I, 4 |          them to tell how man can be saved without Christ. But,
277 I, 4 |         do not doubt that man can be saved through Christ; else
278 I, 4 |           as we do, that they may be saved.~Boso. Let me ask
279 I, 5 |  sufficiently proved that man can be saved by Christ, when even
280 I, 5 |          do not deny that man can be happy somehow, and it has
281 I, 5 |         of view, no salvation can be found for man? For, either
282 I, 5 |          by some one else can man be saved, or else not at all.
283 I, 5 |          is false that man cannot be saved all, or that he can
284 I, 5 |         saved all, or that he can be saved in any other way,
285 I, 5 |        salvation must necessarily be by Christ.~Boso. But what
286 I, 5 |         perceives that man cannot be saved in any other way,
287 I, 5 |          understanding how he can be saved by Christ, sees fit
288 I, 5 |         declare that there cannot be any salvation either by
289 I, 5 |      Anselm.. What reply ought to be made to one who ascribes
290 I, 5 |         not understand how it can be?~Boso. That he is a fool.~
291 I, 5 |            Then what he says must be despised.~Boso. Very true;
292 I, 5 |         is true which he holds to be impossible.~Anselm.. Do
293 I, 5 |     unfitness, that no man should be exalted to that state for
294 I, 5 |           necessary for sin, must be found apart from the Christian
295 I, 5 |    reasoning ought by no means to be questioned, even though
296 I, 5 |           though the method of it be not understood.~Boso. What
297 I, 5 |         unable to pay, and cannot be saved without paying; I
298 I, 5 |          to Christ, if we hope to be saved; and how they avail
299 I, 5 |        the things which remain to be said from those which have
300 II, 1|        made holy by God, so as to be happy in the enjoyment of
301 II, 1|          Anselm.. It ought not to be disputed that rational nature
302 II, 1|          holy by God, in order to be happy in enjoying Him. For
303 II, 1|      since man's discretion would be useless unless he loved
304 II, 1|         else and not itself would be the thing loved. But intelligent
305 II, 1|         that it might not in vain be made rational, it was made,
306 II, 1|           holiness; and there can be no reason why it should
307 II, 1|           no reason why it should be ever bound to follow holiness.
308 II, 1|     Therefore, as long as it will be holy in loving and choosing
309 II, 1|        which it was made, it will be miserable; because it will
310 II, 1|        miserable; because it will be impotent despite of its
311 II, 1|        was made holy, in order to be happy in enjoying the supreme
312 II, 1|           this end, that he might be happy in enjoying God.~ ~
313 II, 2|         man was so made as not to be necessarily subject to death;
314 II, 3|          proved. For if man is to be perfectly restored, the
315 II, 3|       never sinned.~Boso. It must be so.~Anselm.. Therefore,
316 II, 3|           state, so when he shall be restored, it must properly
317 II, 3|        restored, it must properly be with his own body as he
318 II, 3|      those in whom humanity shall be perfectly restored, but
319 II, 3|           in wickedness, he sball be likewise completely miserable
320 II, 4|          so great good. Now if it be understood that God has
321 II, 4|         have already said, cannot be accomplished save by a complete
322 II, 4|            I now understand it to be necessary for God to complete
323 II, 4|          he has begun, lest there be an unseemly falling off
324 II, 5|            although the thing may be necessary, God may not do
325 II, 5|    increases it. ~Boso. But if it be so, then God seems as it
326 II, 5|         of man. How, then, can it be denied that he does it more
327 II, 5|           than on ours? But if it be so, what thanks do we owe
328 II, 5|        favor. For this should not be called necessity but grace,
329 II, 5|       same willingness; though it be necessary for you, if possible,
330 II, 5|    apostate, and, although he may be compelled to keep it even
331 II, 5|        sake of God; and he cannot be said to live a holy life
332 II, 5|      though, indeed, it would not be proper for him to fail in
333 II, 6|          Anselm.. But this cannot be effected, except the price
334 II, 6|         to God for the sin of man be something greater than all
335 II, 6|           possession of God, must be greater than all else but
336 II, 6|         more just.~Anselm.. If it be necessary, therefore, as
337 II, 6|         that the heavenly kingdom be made up of men, and this
338 II, 6|           of men, and this cannot be effected unless the aforesaid
339 II, 6|        the aforesaid satisfaction be made, which none but God
340 II, 6|        make it.~Boso. Now blessed be God! we have made a great
341 II, 7|          is for the same being to be perfect God and perfect
342 II, 7|        human Divine; nor can they be so commingled as that a
343 II, 7| commingled as that a third should be produced from the two which
344 II, 7|       were possible for either to be changed into the other,
345 II, 7|      other, it would in that case be only God and not man, or
346 II, 7|           both), it would neither be God nor man. Therefore the
347 II, 7|       God-man, whom we require to be of a nature both human and
348 II, 7|          human and Divine, cannot be produced by a change from
349 II, 7|         since these things cannot be, or, if they could be, would
350 II, 7|      cannot be, or, if they could be, would avail nothing to
351 II, 7|      complete natures are said to be joined somehow, in such
352 II, 7|           such a way that one may be Divine while the other is
353 II, 7|         yet that which is God not be the same with that which
354 II, 7|          do the work necessary to be accomplished. For God will
355 II, 7|           not to do it, unless he be very God and very man. Since,
356 II, 7|  necessary that these two natures be united entire in one person,
357 II, 7|        that the same being should be very God and very man.~Boso.
358 II, 8|        makes the atonement should be the very being who has sinned,
359 II, 8|           same race must rise and be exalted by means of itself.
360 II, 8|         of both sexes there might be increase, in this he showed
361 II, 8|    Wherefore, if the race of Adam be reinstated by any being
362 II, 8|        the same race, it will not be restored to that dignity
363 II, 8|           sinned, and so will not be completely restored; and,
364 II, 8|         by whom Adam's race shall be restored be taken from Adam.~
365 II, 8|          s race shall be restored be taken from Adam.~Boso. If
366 II, 8|          nature taken by God must be produced from a father and
367 II, 8|           of these three modes it be, it will be produced from
368 II, 8|        three modes it be, it will be produced from Adam and Eve,
369 II, 8|           another, that it should be selected on this account.~
370 II, 8|           show that that man will be brought into existence in
371 II, 8|        Anselm.. Therefore must he be taken either from man alone,
372 II, 8|     without a man? Now whether it be more worthy that he be born
373 II, 8|         it be more worthy that he be born of a virgin, or one
374 II, 8|           that the God-man should be born of a virgin.~Boso.
375 II, 8|        declare?~Boso. Nothing can be more sound.~Anselm.. Paint
376 II, 8|         our salvation should also be found in a woman. And that
377 II, 8|       arise, that their hopes may be revived. Take also this
378 II, 8|  appropriate that a virgin should be the occasion of all good.
379 II, 8|           spring from a woman, to be born of a woman without
380 II, 8|         Of the pictures which can be superadded to this, showing
381 II, 8|         that the God-man ought to be born of a virgin, we will
382 II, 9|          one person only can this be done. But, as respects this
383 II, 9|      Divine persons this ought to be effected, I have expressed
384 II, 9|          person of the Son should be incarnated rather than that
385 II, 9|          one of the other persons be incarnated, there will be
386 II, 9|         be incarnated, there will be two sons in the Trinity,
387 II, 9|          by the incarnation, will be the son of the virgin; and
388 II, 9|     persons which ought always to be equal there will be an inequality
389 II, 9|     always to be equal there will be an inequality as respects
390 II, 9|      become incarnate, there will be two grandsons in the Trinity;
391 II, 9|           assuming humanity, will be the grandson of the parents
392 II, 9|          to do with man, will yet be the grandson of the virgin,
393 II, 9|         the virgin, since he will be the son of her son. But
394 II, 9|           Son, who is believed to be the very image of God. Wherefore
395 II, 0|          death, in whom there can be no sin, for he is God.~Boso.
396 II, 0|       question with me whether it be said that he can sin or
397 II, 0|         that he cannot. For if it be said that he cannot sin,
398 II, 0|            it should seem hard to be believed. For to say a word
399 II, 0|           I know him not, I shall be a liar, like unto you,"
400 II, 0|          choose. For, if the will be not implied as acting, there
401 II, 0|        For, when I say that I can be dragged or bound unwillingly,
402 II, 0|       another; since I am able to be dragged or bound in no other
403 II, 0|         lie, none the less can it be said that he could not lie.
404 II, 0|         and therefore he will not be holy from free will. What
405 II, 0|        had the power? Must not he be praised for his holiness?~
406 II, 0|             The angels are not to be praised for their holiness
407 II, 0|            and, therefore, should be praised for his holiness,
408 II, 0|     himself, he is most of all to be praised for the good things
409 II, 0|       likewise, that man who will be also God since every good
410 II, 0|          comes from himself, will be holy not of necessity but
411 II, 0|        since the two natures will be united in one person.~Boso.
412 II, 0|        our first parents so as to be incapable of sin, and yet
413 II, 0|      right for any one of them to be the same with God, as we
414 II, 0|          then, that he should not be subject to death, inasmuch
415 II, 0|           inasmuch as he will not be a sinner.~Boso. I must agree
416 II, 1|     regard to this, since he will be really man, and every man
417 II, 1|  incorruptible, they will no less be really men. For, if mortality
418 II, 1|        who was immortal could not be man. Wherefore, neither
419 II, 1|      prove that that man ought to be subject to death, for us
420 II, 1|        for us to say that he will be in all respects a man.~Boso.
421 II, 1|        not doubt that, as he will be God, he will possess omnipotence.~
422 II, 1|         he would scarcely seem to be omnipotent.~Anselm.. Therefore
423 II, 1|          down by permitting it to be taken, it makes no difference
424 II, 1|     chooses to allow it, he could be slain; and if he were unwilling
425 II, 1|         to allow it, he couId not be slain.~Boso. To this we
426 II, 1|         debt but freely, ought to be something greater than anything
427 II, 1|      Anselm. Now this can neither be found beneath him nor above
428 II, 1|       himself, therefore, must it be found.~Boso. So it appears.~
429 II, 1|          cannot see how it should be otherwise.~Anselm.. Now
430 II, 1|        sort of a gift this should be? For he may not give himself
431 II, 1|          Therefore must this gift be understood in this way,
432 II, 1|           his will, this will not be giving a thing not demanded
433 II, 1|         to God.~Boso. This cannot be denied.~Anselm.. Therefore
434 II, 1|        Anselm.. Therefore must it be in some other way that he
435 II, 1|      whether, perchance, this may be to give up his life or to
436 II, 1|         debt; for, as no sin will be found, he ought not to die,
437 II, 1|         Anselm.. Now, nothing can be more severe or difficult
438 II, 1|    atonement for man's sin should be one who can die if he chooses.~
439 II, 1|          seek for should not only be one who is not necessarily
440 II, 1|          free will, for this will be necessary.~Anselm.. There
441 II, 1|    actions than they can possibly be shown to be by mere reason
442 II, 1|          can possibly be shown to be by mere reason without experience.
443 II, 2|     plainly show that he ought to be mortal and to partake of
444 II, 2|        our miseries. Will he then be miserable?~Anselm.. No,
445 II, 2|        Boso. Certainly, this must be allowed.~ ~
446 II, 3|            but, although this man be immortal in respect to his
447 II, 3|        Divine nature, yet will he be mortal in his human nature.
448 II, 3|       nature. For why will he not be like them in their ignorance,
449 II, 3|        the Divine person will not be effected except in accordance
450 II, 3|           him ignorant? And if he be ignorant, what will it avail
451 II, 3|         as it is known, and there be no good thing which he does
452 II, 3|          not love, then there can be no good thing of which be
453 II, 3|         be no good thing of which be is ignorant. But no one
454 II, 3|        what is good, so there can be no evil with which he is
455 II, 3|           infancy, as it will not be a fit time to discover wisdom,
456 II, 3|    discover wisdom, so there will be no need, and therefore no
457 II, 3|         that the incarnation will be made in wisdom? But God
458 II, 3|         nature of his being, will be always full of God; and,
459 II, 4|        think of you have shown to be so monstrous that, were
460 II, 4|       sooner than one look should be made contrary to the just
461 II, 4|        the sins of the world will be heaped upon you."~Boso.
462 II, 4|          also all others that can be conceived of, than this
463 II, 4|      slightest injury which could be inflicted on him.~Anselm..
464 II, 4|           all other sins that can be thought of, inasmuch as
465 II, 4| comparison all the sins which can be thought of, that do not
466 II, 4|          person, can for a moment be compared with a bodily injury
467 II, 4|          conquers all sins, if it be given for them?~Boso. Plainly.~
468 II, 5|         you one thing more. If it be as great an evil to slay
469 II, 5|        believe that many men will be saved, and a vast many will
470 II, 5|          and a vast many will not be saved.~Anselm.. The Apostle
471 II, 5|        its full extent known, may be pardonable when done in
472 II, 5|        with which none others can be compared. For this crime,
473 II, 5|          the celestial state must be made up from men, and that
474 II, 5|            and that this can only be by the forgiveness of sins,
475 II, 5|         have but by man, who must be at the same time Divine,
476 II, 5|        Christ, whom we confess to be both God and man, died for
477 II, 5|           he says of himself must be acknowledged as true, for
478 II, 5|         lie, and all he does must be received as wisely done,
479 II, 6|        the conception of this man be pure, and free from the
480 II, 6|           fitting for that man to be God, and also the restorer
481 II, 6|          avail nothing, unless he be taken without sin and yet
482 II, 6|           effects this, we should be surprised, but with reverence
483 II, 6|           so that he ought not to be denied existence But after
484 II, 6|        this, viz., that he should be one capable of being punished,
485 II, 6|     preserved, the same being may be both God and man! Who, then,
486 II, 6|           deep love for us, as to be both able and willing to
487 II, 6|      inasmuch as those who are to be pardoned cannot all assemble
488 II, 6|           there laid down, should be freed from all past guilt;
489 II, 6|           render atonement and to be set right again by the efficacy
490 II, 6|           plan, they should again be pardoned, only provided
491 II, 6|          mansion until this thing be accomplished by which his
492 II, 6|      manner, since all who are to be saved cannot be present
493 II, 6|        who are to be saved cannot be present at the sacrifice
494 II, 6|           because there could not be so many living at the time
495 II, 6|         of evil angels which must be made up from men is greater
496 II, 6|          at any time there should be no one found fulfilling
497 II, 6|        further objection that can be made to this view, then
498 II, 6|       necessary that there always be some person partaking of
