  1 pre  |        PREFACE.~THE first part of this book was copied without
  2 pre  |           nature was ordained for this purpose, viz., that every
  3 pre  |        that it was necessary that this design for which man was
  4 pre  |          all who may wish to copy this book to prefix this brief
  5 pre  |          copy this book to prefix this brief preface, with the
  6 I, 1 |        are considered sufficient. This they ask, not for the sake
  7 I, 1 |          hope which is in us. And this question, both infidels
  8 I, 1 |           when he might have done this, by means of some other
  9 I, 1 |    persons interest themselves in this inquiry and seek for its
 10 I, 1 |           many desire to consider this subject, and, though it
 11 I, 1 |         those persons who agitate this subject; one, who among
 12 I, 1 |       earnestly to it, so that in this way Boso may question and
 13 I, 2 |         ought not so much to fear this, because you should call
 14 I, 2 |          account of which I think this subject can hardly, or not
 15 I, 2 |       comprehensively; since, for this purpose, there is required
 16 I, 2 |         to another time.~Anselm.. This also much disinclines me
 17 I, 2 |          the intellect of men. On this account, I fear, lest, as
 18 I, 2 |        vulgar diction.~Boso. Even this ought not to deter you,
 19 I, 2 |    excuses, you are not to fulfil this request of mine for the
 20 I, 2 |          that of those who desire this thing with you, out of love
 21 I, 2 |       prayers, which, when making this request, you have often
 22 I, 2 |           say to be received with this understanding, that, if
 23 I, 2 |         than I will be able to do this more fully; nay, we must
 24 I, 2 |            let it be mine to urge this inconsistency until you
 25 I, 3 |   carefully consider bow fitly in this way human redemption is
 26 I, 4 |           since they do not think this belief of ours a reality,
 27 I, 4 |       ground; and, moreover, that this purpose could not be carried
 28 I, 5 |           being but God.~Boso. If this deliverance were said to
 29 I, 5 |           as he made Adam, and by this man it should seem that
 30 I, 5 |     servant of that being? Now if this be so, he would in no wise
 31 I, 6 |          the devil for us. ~Boso. This they greatly wonder at,
 32 I, 6 |        wonder at, because we call this redemption a release. For,
 33 I, 6 |   statement that God has shown in this way how much he loved you,
 34 I, 6 |         is no argument to support this, unless it be proved that
 35 I, 6 |           to manifest his love in this way. But now, when he could
 36 I, 6 |           meaning dare you allege this? Is not the omnipotence
 37 I, 7 |           could have freed man in this way. ~MOREOVER, I do not
 38 I, 7 |           to him. It is true that this might well enough be said,
 39 I, 7 |           just than for God to do this? Or, should God, the judge
 40 I, 7 |       injustice would there be in this? For, though man deserved
 41 I, 7 |          even more unrighteous in this, because he was not led
 42 I, 7 |        impulse. For he did not do this at the command of God, but
 43 I, 7 |       holding man, are brought to this belief by seeing that man
 44 I, 7 |       that God in justice permits this; and therefore they suppose
 45 I, 7 |       does it unjustly. And hence this violence on the part of
 46 I, 7 |    because God in justice permits this, and man in justice suffers
 47 I, 7 |           that it was intended by this decree that the devil, as
 48 I, 7 |           tempted man, so that in this way he seems to prove his
 49 I, 7 |       believe that, on account of this writing, there can be found
 50 I, 8 |           it appears to them that this man did not suffer death
 51 I, 8 |         to his incarnation?~Boso. This in brief: that the Most
 52 I, 8 |         against our faith. For in this way we intend no debasement
 53 I, 8 |            if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless,
 54 I, 8 |            And again: "Father, if this cup may not pass from me
 55 I, 9 |     accord that he died, and what this means: "he was made obedient
 56 I, 9 |          believe that God demands this of every rational being,
 57 I, 9 |       being, and every being owes this in obedience to God.~Boso.
 58 I, 9 |           We ought to acknowledge this.~Anselm.. That man, therefore,
 59 I, 9 |         That man, therefore, owed this obedience to God the Father,
 60 I, 9 |        Boso. There is no doubt of this.~Anselin. Now you see what
 61 I, 9 |          obedience did not demand this.~Anselm.. Ought man to suffer
 62 I, 9 |      sinned, or should God demand this of him?~Boso. It is on this
 63 I, 9 |       this of him?~Boso. It is on this account that we believe
 64 I, 9 |        God would not have exacted this of him; but I should like
 65 I, 9 |   creature was made holy, and for this purpose, viz., to be happy
 66 I, 9 |          he held out so firmly in this obedience that he met death
 67 I, 9 |           he met death. It was in this sense, then, that "as the
 68 I, 9 |           didicit" is written for this: he caused others to learn;
 69 I, 9 |         is above every name." And this is similar to what David
 70 I, 9 |      crossed. And we not only use this form of expression, when
 71 I, 9 |          is said to be exalted on this account, because he endured
 72 I, 9 |         death; for it was through this, and after this, that he
 73 I, 9 |           through this, and after this, that he determined to accomplish
 74 I, 9 |        accomplish his exaltation. This may be understood also in
 75 I, 9 |          favor with God; not that this was really the case, but
 76 I, 9 |        the Bible many things like this. Again, when he says: "Father,
 77 I, 9 |            if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless
 78 I, 9 |        but as you will ;" and "If this cup may not pass from me,
 79 I, 9 |        place in any other way, in this respect, I see that you
 80 I, 9 |       which I have mentioned. And this, since none other could
 81 I, 0 |       moves him when he gives him this will. And in this drawing
 82 I, 0 |       gives him this will. And in this drawing or impelling it
 83 I, 0 |        the Father, of whom he had this will, did not spare him
 84 I, 0 |         and desired his death? In this way, also, by following
 85 I, 0 |    accomplished by obedience. For this is real and sincere obedience
 86 I, 0 |          not be saved. It was for this reason, also, that he used
 87 I, 0 |         power and will.~Boso. But this simple fact, that God allows
 88 I, 0 |         why he wished to do it in this way? For it both seems unbecoming
 89 I, 0 |          God to have saved man in this way; and it is not clear
 90 I, 0 |      innocent.~Anselm.. Since, in this inquiry, you take the place
 91 I, 0 |      force of necessity.~Boso. In this matter, I accept nothing
 92 I, 0 |          more willingly than that this agreement should be preserved
 93 I, 0 |       which cannot be attained in this life, and that no being
 94 I, 0 |            and that no man passes this life without sin. Let us
 95 I, 0 |      necessary.~Boso. We all hold this.~ ~
 96 I, 1 |         sins; and, in order to do this more plainly, let us first
 97 I, 1 |    Nothing is more true.~Anselm.. This is the debt which man and
 98 I, 1 |          God, and no one who pays this debt commits sin; but every
 99 I, 1 |         who does not pay it sins. This is justice, or uprightness
100 I, 1 |      heart, that is, in will; and this is the sole and complete
101 I, 1 |         pleasing to God; and when this will cannot be exercised,
102 I, 1 |            He who does not render this honor which is due to God,
103 I, 1 |        own and dishonors him; and this is sin. Moreover, so long
104 I, 1 |      which he has robbed God; and this is the satisfaction which
105 I, 2 |          Anselm.. To remit sin in this manner is nothing else than
106 I, 2 |         Boso. If I wish to oppose this, I fear to sin.~Anselm..
107 I, 2 |           and the not guilty; and this is unbecoming to God.~Boso.
108 I, 2 |         deny it.~Anselm.. Observe this also. Every one knows that
109 I, 2 |         is bestowed by God.~Boso. This is our belief.~Anselm..
110 I, 2 |          world rightly accomplish this end, God himself does it
111 I, 2 |             the meaning is simply this: "If the nature of God is
112 I, 2 |        two impossible things: "If this be true, then that follows;
113 I, 2 |          follows; because neither this nor that is true;" as if
114 I, 2 |         not fitting for God to do this.~Boso. I listen readily
115 I, 3 |        Nothing is more plain than this.~Anselm.. But there is no
116 I, 3 |       evil must be endured.~Boso. This, also, is plain.~Anselm..
117 I, 3 |           is nothing clearer than this.~Anselm.. Therefore God
118 I, 3 |      respect to both parties; and this it is impious even to think
119 I, 4 |         he cannot recover it. And this seems in contradiction to
120 I, 4 |     purpose of his own honor, for this very reason, that it is
121 I, 4 |          it is taken away. For by this act he shows that the sinner
122 I, 5 |        from the honor of God. For this honor which belongs to him
123 I, 5 |        obey and honor God; and to this, rational nature, which
124 I, 5 | permission of that will; and even this wayward choice or action
125 I, 5 |           sin freely given, or if this be not given, the exaction
126 I, 5 |          concerned, appears to do this when he submits or opposes
127 I, 5 |         which can be said against this.~Anselm.. Let me add something
128 I, 6 |        created without sin.~Boso. This is a part of our belief,
129 I, 6 |         so fell of necessity. But this last is an absurd idea.~
130 I, 6 |       will remain incomplete. But this cannot be.~Boso. Doubtless,
131 I, 6 |         be restored.~Anselm.. But this restoration can only be
132 I, 7 |           substituted for them on this account (to pass over its
133 I, 7 |           as those who stood; and this manner I explained, as well
134 I, 7 |          the human race; and from this reasoning it appears that
135 I, 8 |       think that I can prove from this either of these suppositions
136 I, 8 |         created at the same time, this is possible; and it would
137 I, 8 |         either made to consummate this perfection, or that it was
138 I, 8 |          can they be justified in this unholy joy, or how shall
139 I, 8 |           have remained free from this fault, had they not fallen,
140 I, 8 |      Cannot men be made free from this fault? nay, how ought they
141 I, 8 |       ought they to be happy with this fault? With what temerity,
142 I, 8 |        wishes nor is able to make this substitution without this
143 I, 8 |         this substitution without this fault!~Boso. Is not the
144 I, 8 |       Jews despised the apostles, this was the immediate occasion
145 I, 8 |     Anselm.. If, then, no one had this certainty, there would be
146 I, 8 |          any one of them can have this certainty, if their number
147 I, 8 |           would not have attained this height but for another's
148 I, 8 |       angels.~Boso. I see not how this can be denied.~Anselm..
149 I, 8 |         can be brought to support this opinion.~Boso. You ought
150 I, 8 |         must be renewed, and that this will not take place until
151 I, 8 |         nature of its own accord, this also the irrational creature
152 I, 8 |     rejoicing in their honor. And this opinion derives support
153 I, 8 |         possible for them to die, this power was not immortal,
154 I, 8 |   intelligent and happy state and this earthly and irrational nature;
155 I, 8 |          those things which after this renewal would not exist,
156 I, 8 |           not be long deferred on this account, because the renewal
157 I, 8 |           soon to take place, for this is not fitting. But that
158 I, 8 |        angels of God," explain in this way, that the number of
159 I, 8 |          of good angels?~Anselm.. This is not discordant with the
160 I, 8 |          I say, in questions like this, we explain the Divine words
161 I, 8 |         there will be a people in this stage of existence, until
162 I, 8 |         men, which takes place in this life, will cease. But if
163 I, 8 |        continue to be a people in this stage of existence, as I
164 I, 8 |            But if any one affirms this, he will have to find means
165 I, 9 |        beings.~Boso. Reason shows this.~Anselm.. Consider, also,
166 I, 9 |      Would not God be acting like this, who held man in paradise,
167 I, 9 |      would not God be acting like this, should he restore man,
168 I, 9 |        comparison, were God to do this, and therefore do not admit
169 I, 9 |          not admit that he can do this. For it should seem either
170 I, 9 |         sinned; for man cannot in this way be restored, or become
171 I, 9 |    reasoning. But what say you to this: that we pray God, "put
172 I, 9 |          as with an equal. But of this it is not now needful for
173 I, 9 |         Your reply with regard to this matter suffices me for the
174 I, 0 |      himself unable to accomplish this. ~Anselm.. Neither, I think,
175 I, 0 |           I think, will you doubt this, that satisfaction should
176 I, 0 |  uncontrolled in his kingdom. But this is determined, that even
177 I, 0 |          the delights and ease of this life, and submit obediently
178 I, 0 |        sin, you should not reckon this as the debt which you owe
179 I, 0 |           have mentioned. For, in this mortal state, there should
180 I, 0 |          you have not yet reached this object, and such fear lest
181 I, 0 |          it, causes you no grief. This also requires one to avoid
182 I, 0 |      shall be forgotten.~Anselm.. This is only said of those who
183 I, 1 |         on my part would blot out this sin.~Anselm.. You have not
184 I, 1 |     necessary for me either to do this, or some greater sin.~Anselm..
185 I, 1 |            and ask with regard to this sin only whether you can
186 I, 1 |          we opposed him.~Anselm.. This is in the case of man, who
187 I, 1 |       worlds as full of beings as this?~Boso. Were they increased
188 I, 1 |          payment you can make for this sin?~Boso. I can only repeat
189 I, 1 |            Reason seems to demand this, and to make the contrary
190 I, 1 |    because He ought not to.~Boso. This decision is most weighty.~
191 I, 1 |          reconciled to God.~Boso. This alone would drive me to
192 I, 2 |        could have easily effected this, he, without compulsion
193 I, 2 |           reconciled to Him, with this calumnious reproach still
194 I, 2 |        the victory ought to be of this kind, that, as in strength
195 I, 2 |          the devil to sin, and on this account justly incurred
196 I, 2 |          wholly avoiding sin. But this cannot be done, so long
197 I, 3 |         the devil; so that, as by this conquest over man the devil
198 I, 3 |       supreme justice can violate this justice?~Boso. I dare not
199 I, 3 |       might recover His loss. But this cannot be effected except
200 I, 3 |      cannot be effected except in this way: that, as in the fall
201 I, 3 |     sinful man can by no means do this, for a sinner cannot justify
202 I, 4 |         excuse for him. But if in this very impotence lies the
203 I, 4 |        that power, and falls into this inability. For not to have
204 I, 4 |      excuse the sin itself.~Boso. This argument is exceedingly
205 I, 4 |        what he owes to God.~Boso. This is very true; for he is
206 I, 4 |          Boso. I cannot deny that this is so.~Anselm.. But if you
207 I, 4 |          two things, viz., either this which man ought voluntarily
208 I, 4 |     universe besides God; or else this, which, as I have before
209 I, 4 |          cannot repay it, what is this but saying that God gives
210 I, 4 |          For he ought not to have this inability, and therefore
211 I, 4 |           compassion cannot be of this nature.~Boso. I think, then,
212 I, 4 |       look for another mercy than this.~Anselm.. But suppose it
213 I, 4 |          will not be happy.~Boso. This also is plain.~Anselm..
214 I, 4 |          he makes man happy after this life. And I think that I
215 I, 4 |         wholly put away; and that this remission ought not to take
216 I, 4 |          as by many.~Boso. Surely this is so. But how, then, shall
217 I, 4 |       conception, cannot exercise this compassion?~Anselm.. This
218 I, 4 |         this compassion?~Anselm.. This is the question which you
219 I, 4 |        being saved at all. And if this terrifies them, let them
220 I, 5 |     further?~Boso. I come not for this purpose, to have you remove
221 II, 1|           in enjoying Him. For to this end is it rational, in order
222 II, 1|          it was made rational for this end. In like manner is it
223 II, 1|          power of discernment for this purpose, that he might hate
224 II, 1|   rational nature was created for this end, viz., to love and choose
225 II, 1|  intelligent nature cannot fulfil this purpose without being holy.
226 II, 1|          made, in order to fulfil this purpose, both rational and
227 II, 1|         it were not made holy for this end, that it might follow
228 II, 1|         have what it desires. But this is utterly absurd. Wherefore
229 II, 1|       rational, was made holy for this end, that he might be happy
230 II, 3|         same body which he has in this world. ~Anselm.. From this
231 II, 3|        this world. ~Anselm.. From this the future resurrection
232 II, 3|           own body as he lived in this world.~Boso. But what shall
233 II, 3|          to one who tells us that this is right enough with regard
234 II, 3|          more just or proper than this, that as man, had he continued
235 II, 4|     nature what he has begun. But this, as we have already said,
236 II, 5|         thanks for the favor. For this should not be called necessity
237 II, 5|           must mean that God does this from the necessity of maintaining
238 II, 5|         is after all no more than this, viz., the immutability
239 II, 6|           is saved. ~Anselm.. But this cannot be effected, except
240 II, 6|   Therefore none but God can make this satisfaction.~Boso. So it
241 II, 6|        none but a man ought to do this, other wise man does not
242 II, 6|    kingdom be made up of men, and this cannot be effected unless
243 II, 7|           the God-man may perform this, it is necessary that the
244 II, 7|     perfect man, in order to make this atonement. For he cannot
245 II, 8|          not of Adam's race, then this man will not belong to the
246 II, 8|          born of them must fulfil this work. Moreover, as Adam
247 II, 8|           that being who has made this restoration. Also, when
248 II, 8|       there might be increase, in this he showed plainly that he
249 II, 8|     reason, as we proposed to do, this is the necessary result.~
250 II, 8|          it should be selected on this account.~Boso. So far, it
251 II, 8|  Wherefore, in order to show that this last mode also under his
252 II, 8|       power, and was reserved for this very purpose, what more
253 II, 8|         may be revived. Take also this view. If it was a virgin
254 II, 8|         occasion of all good. And this also. If woman, whom God
255 II, 8|        which can be superadded to this, showing that the God-man
256 II, 9|  Wherefore in one person only can this be done. But, as respects
257 II, 9|         be done. But, as respects this personal unity of God and
258 II, 9|       which of the Divine persons this ought to be effected, I
259 II, 9|       Boso. Yet briefly glance at this matter, why the person of
260 II, 9|          reason has brought us to this necessary conclusion, that
261 II, 9|           in one person, and that this is evidently more fitting
262 II, 0|                    CHAPTER X.~How this man dies not of debt; and
263 II, 0|           not to question whether this man was about to die as
264 II, 0|   committed sin, much less should this man suffer death, in whom
265 II, 0|          me delay you a little on this point. For in either case
266 II, 0|           like unto you," and, in this sentence, makes use of the
267 II, 0|      Therefore, since he could do this, he could sin.~Anselm..
268 II, 0|         is true that he could say this, and also that he could
269 II, 0|     dragged or bound unwillingly, this is not my power, but necessity
270 II, 0|      bound in no other sense than this, that another can drag or
271 II, 0|           he could not lie. So in this way it is both true that
272 II, 0|       angel capable of sinning on this account, that, when of their
273 II, 0|        are, because they deserved this present inability to sin
274 II, 0|          and yet has not deserved this, by refusing to sin when
275 II, 0|           they cannot sin. And in this respect are they in a measure
276 II, 0|         and made himself holy. In this sense, therefore, has he
277 II, 0|          You have satisfied me on this point; and I see clearly
278 II, 1|     hardly dispute with regard to this, since he will be really
279 II, 1|         person, or another causes this, so that he lays it down
280 II, 1|      couId not be slain.~Boso. To this we are unavoidably brought
281 II, 1|            Boso. Yes.~Anselm. Now this can neither be found beneath
282 II, 1|       inquire what sort of a gift this should be? For he may not
283 II, 1|    creature belongs to God.~Boso. This is so.~Anselm.. Therefore
284 II, 1|           Anselm.. Therefore must this gift be understood in this
285 II, 1|        this gift be understood in this way, that he somehow gives
286 II, 1|      himself subject to his will, this will not be giving a thing
287 II, 1|           obedience to God.~Boso. This cannot be denied.~Anselm..
288 II, 1|          Boso. Reason urges us to this conclusion.~Anselm.. Let
289 II, 1|           see whether, perchance, this may be to give up his life
290 II, 1|           For God will not demand this of him as a debt; for, as
291 II, 1|           further observe whether this is according to reason.~
292 II, 1|         of his own free will, for this will be necessary.~Anselm..
293 II, 1|           how could he have given this example to weak and dying
294 II, 2|      compulsion.~Boso. Certainly, this must be allowed.~ ~
295 II, 3|           But tell me whether, in this likeness to men which he
296 II, 3|           Boso. No! but, although this man be immortal in respect
297 II, 3|         evil; and no one can make this distinction who does not
298 II, 3|         In his more mature Years, this should seem to he as you
299 II, 3|      wisely assume ignorance, for this is never useful, but always
300 II, 3|           respect, yet does it in this, that it takes away the
301 II, 3|      unable to doubt the truth of this with respect to Christ,
302 II, 3|        respect to Christ, yet, on this very account, have I asked
303 II, 4|           of created existence as this, they could not stand, but
304 II, 4|           sins, not only those of this world, past and future,
305 II, 4|         can be conceived of, than this alone. And I think I ought
306 II, 4|        And I think I ought to say this, not only with regard to
307 II, 4|          Anselm.. What say you to this, that one often suffers
308 II, 4|    inflicted upon that man.~Boso. This is most plain.~Anselm..
309 II, 4|           Anselm.. How great does this good seem to you, if the
310 II, 4|        Boso. I cannot help seeing this.~Anselm.. And do you not
311 II, 4|             Do you see, then, how this life conquers all sins,
312 II, 5|                   CHAPTER XV.~How this death removes even the sins
313 II, 5|          of his murderers. ~Boso. This is properly so with regard
314 II, 5|       others can be compared. For this crime, the magnitude of
315 II, 5|        made up from men, and that this can only be by the forgiveness
316 II, 5|            died for us; and, when this is known beyond all doubt,
317 II, 5|        does reasonable. But I ask this in order that you may disclose
318 II, 5|       improper or impossible; and this, not to strengthen me in
319 II, 6|          though the conception of this man be pure, and free from
320 II, 6|      wholly without sin; yet will this avail nothing, unless he
321 II, 6|         the wisdom of God effects this, we should be surprised,
322 II, 6|          he never has wholly lost this, viz., that he should be
323 II, 6|    discover so great a mystery in this life, and I do not desire
324 II, 6|          reasons lie concealed in this matter, by showing some
325 II, 6|     wisdom or the power to effect this without sin.~Boso. This
326 II, 6|           this without sin.~Boso. This I readily allow.~Anselm..
327 II, 6|      trusted in his guidance; and this because of a certain very
328 II, 6|         and, if they sinned after this pardon, and yet wished to
329 II, 6|          again by the efficacy of this plan, they should again
330 II, 6|           enter his mansion until this thing be accomplished by
331 II, 6|        vain. So that we rest upon this as not only proper but also
332 II, 6|        but also necessary. For if this is more fit and reasonable
333 II, 6|     objection that can be made to this view, then it is necessary
334 II, 6|          some person partaking of this promised pardon. And, therefore,
335 II, 6|     authority makes no mention of this.~Anselm.. It is also incredible
336 II, 6|     should exclude these two from this design.~Boso. Nay, undoubtedly
337 II, 6|    believe that God made them for this purpose, viz., to belong
338 II, 7|           his death, when without this he could not have been born
339 II, 7|          could not be pure, since this could only be effected by
340 II, 7|           born of her at all; but this is an absurdity.~Anselm..
341 II, 7|         escaping death. And since this disposition, which forever
342 II, 7|         prevents him from wishing this, arises from himself, he
343 II, 7|         is. For he became man for this purpose, and it was on the
344 II, 7|     should die, any more than for this purpose, that he should
345 II, 7|    confidence in the certainty of this?~Boso. God, the Son of God.~
346 II, 7|       took the nature of man with this desire, viz., that he should
347 II, 7|           prove it necessary that this man should not be able to
348 II, 7|  invalidate in the least. But yet this thing which I have mentioned
349 II, 7|   certainly to die?~Boso. Because this was his free and unchangeable
350 II, 7|      certainly to die, and was on this account certainly to die
351 II, 7|        fixed choice to die.~Boso. This is so; but whatever be the
352 II, 8|      strength. For we mean simply this, that nothing can compel
353 II, 8|        often use an expression of this kind, that a thing can be
354 II, 8|          he freely became man for this design, viz., that by persevering
355 II, 8|          should suffer death. And this desire nothing could shake.
356 II, 8|        agent in the case. And, if this is so with regard to man,
357 II, 8|        can drive or restrain. For this end was accomplished by
358 II, 8|           free will; but, because this was destined to take place,
359 II, 8|           and prophecy were true, this is no more than saying that
360 II, 8|           But such a necessity as this does not compel a thing
361 II, 8|         because you are speaking, this is nothing but a subsequent
362 II, 8|           you do it of necessity. This subsequent necessity pertains
363 II, 8|         be, of necessity will be. This is that necessity which
364 II, 8|       necessity to all things. By this subsequent and imperative
365 II, 8|         that it should be so. For this he became man; for this
366 II, 8|           this he became man; for this he did and suffered all
367 II, 8|     things undertaken by him; for this he chose as he did. For
368 II, 8| importunity in urging you to make this explanation.~Anselm.. I
369 II, 8|         no other explanation than this which we have given, for
370 II, 8|           cannot grasp. But since this appears adequate, and since
371 II, 8|    parents to all mankind, except this man of whom we are speaking;
372 II, 8|          let us be satisfied with this account of the matter, and
373 II, 8|           As you choose; but with this condition that, by the help
374 II, 8|            you will sometime give this other explanation, which
375 II, 8|           Inasmuch as I entertain this desire myself, I will not
376 II, 8|      substance of the inquiry was this, why God became man, for
377 II, 8|         owed God for his sin. And this debt was so great that,
378 II, 8|         clearly shown the life of this man to have been so excellent
379 II, 9|         doubt it, how he could do this reasonably. If I saw how
380 II, 9|      maintain strict holiness; by this he set men an example that
381 II, 9|        But how could he have done this, had he, as he might have
382 II, 9|       surely there was no need of this, for many persons before
383 II, 9|         had sufficiently enforced this example by nobly dying for
384 II, 9|            Anselm.. No man except this one ever gave to God what
385 II, 9|         upon any of these things, this he ought to do. And if a
386 II, 9|          to understand the use of this word "debere," when no debt
387 II, 9|           alms upon the poor. For this is a debt not owed by the
388 II, 9|      honor of God, as a debt; for this my own reason proves, and
389 II, 9|       Father on our behalf.~Boso. This I readily acknowledge.~ ~
390 II, 0|         salvation of men rests on this.~Boso. This is the very
391 II, 0|          men rests on this.~Boso. This is the very wish of my heart.
392 II, 0|     appear as if the Son had done this great work in vain.~Boso.
393 II, 0|         cannot be upon him.~Boso. This is necessarily so.~Anselm..
394 II, 0|      receive such confidence from this that I cannot describe the
395 II, 0|          And whatever is built on this foundation is founded on
396 II, 2|        with none to aid them; but this is impossible. But otherwise
397 II, 2|        deceived. And I do not say this as if to deny that the virtue
