  2 pre  |         leaving Christ out of view (as if nothing had ever been

  5 I, 1 |             they believe; and that, as far as possible, they may
  6 I, 1 |           believe; and that, as far as possible, they may be always
  7 I, 1 |     ridiculing Christian simplicity as absurd; and many believers
  8 I, 1 |          man, and by his own death, as we believe and affirm, restored
  9 I, 2 |           should be received.~Boso. As the right order requires
 10 I, 2 |        should discover to me, what, as you know, many besides myself
 11 I, 2 |           subject is important, but as it is of a form fair above
 12 I, 2 |         this account, I fear, lest, as I am wont to be incensed
 13 I, 2 |          not to deter you, because, as you allow any one to talk
 14 I, 2 |             what you inquire about, as to inquire with you. But
 15 I, 2 |            further confidence, than as so appearing to me for the
 16 I, 3 |            beneficence of God. For, as death came upon the human
 17 I, 3 |            should be restored. And, as sin, the cause of our condemnation,
 18 I, 3 |            beauty to our redemption as thus procured.~ ~
 19 I, 4 |             sufficient to infidels, as reasons why we ought to
 20 I, 4 |      proportions which you speak of as so many pictures of the
 21 I, 4 |          fiction, they consider us, as it were, to be painting
 22 I, 5 |     descendant of any man, but just as he made Adam, and by this
 23 I, 5 |           would rightly be adjudged as the servant of that being?
 24 I, 6 |           If you say that God, who, as you believe, created the
 25 I, 6 |            consider him a wise man. As to your statement that God
 26 I, 6 |            he suffer no such things as these for them? As to what
 27 I, 6 |           things as these for them? As to what you say of his coming
 28 I, 7 |             to save men, was bound, as it were, to try a contest
 29 I, 7 |          not to avenge himself; but as far as he who received the
 30 I, 7 |          avenge himself; but as far as he who received the blow
 31 I, 7 |         this decree that the devil, as if under the writing of
 32 I, 7 |             before Christ suffered, as a debt for the first sin
 33 I, 7 |            God it was decreed, and, as it were, confirmed by writing,
 34 I, 7 |            tormenting man. In fine, as there is never any injustice
 35 I, 7 |           was no reason, therefore, as respects the devil, why
 36 I, 7 |          God should not make use of as own power against him for
 37 I, 8 |          should be said of him even as a man; and why it appears
 38 I, 8 |          therefore, we speak of God as enduring any humiliation
 39 I, 8 |       Father did not treat that man as you seem to suppose, nor
 40 I, 8 |            seems to have bound him, as it were, by his injunction.
 41 I, 8 |          about to suffer, he says; "As the Father has given me
 42 I, 8 |          from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will ."
 43 I, 8 |    nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will ." And again: "
 44 I, 9 |             his own Son;" and: "not as I will, but as you will ."
 45 I, 9 |            and: "not as I will, but as you will ." V~Anselm.. It
 46 I, 9 |            not yielding up his life as an act of obedience, but
 47 I, 9 |             this sense, then, that "as the Father gave him the
 48 I, 9 |          was conferred on him, only as a reward of his obedience (
 49 I, 9 |         done, if the result is such as we intended, it is properly
 50 I, 9 |     understood also in the same way as that passage in which it
 51 I, 9 |            that he deported himself as if it were so. For he was
 52 I, 9 |            exalted after his death, as if it were really on account
 53 I, 9 |           from me; nevertheless not as I will, but as you will ;"
 54 I, 9 |     nevertheless not as I will, but as you will ;" and "If this
 55 I, 9 |          unless man were to do even as great a thing as was signified
 56 I, 9 |            do even as great a thing as was signified in the death
 57 I, 9 |          human race should be lost; as if he were to say to the
 58 I, 9 |            s doing so great a thing as that which I have mentioned.
 59 I, 9 |        could accomplish it, availed as much with the Son, who so
 60 I, 9 |       desired the salvation of man, as if the Father had commanded
 61 I, 9 |            to die; and, therefore, "as the Father gave him commandment,
 62 I, 0 |       things which he suffered. For as with regard to that will
 63 I, 0 |            life, he did not have it as a human being of himself,
 64 I, 0 |          good and perfect gift. And as the Father is said to draw
 65 I, 0 |    asserting that he moves man. For as the Son says of the Father: "
 66 I, 0 |          Father draw him," he might as well have said, except he
 67 I, 0 |        would appear sufficient. For as we say that he desires a
 68 I, 0 |             chosen to; but because, as has been said, the world
 69 I, 0 |       desire, if it be praiseworthy as relates to the honor of
 70 I, 0 |           opposed by a greater. For as it is impossible to attribute
 71 I, 0 |        things that we affirm of him as man, had never taken place;
 72 I, 1 |           is sin. Moreover, so long as he does not restore what
 73 I, 1 |         more than he took away. For as one who imperils another'
 74 I, 2 |             injustice like God. For as God is subject to no law,
 75 I, 2 |            For since God is so free as to be subject to no law,
 76 I, 2 |             one, and is so merciful as that nothing more merciful
 77 I, 2 |        nothing is right or fit save as he wills; it seems a strange
 78 I, 2 |           to interpret these things as that they may not seem to
 79 I, 2 |          there is no liberty except as regards what is best or
 80 I, 2 |           the nature of God is such as that he wishes to lie;"
 81 I, 2 |       understood in the same manner as when we speak of two impossible
 82 I, 2 |             this nor that is true;" as if a man should say: "Supposing
 83 I, 3 |            to be so defrauded of it as that he should neither receive
 84 I, 4 |           here we must observe that as man in sinning takes away
 85 I, 4 |    Therefore, since man was so made as to be able to attain happiness
 86 I, 4 |           to any object of his own, as man transfers the money
 87 I, 5 |            have you answer. For if, as you make out, God ought
 88 I, 5 |            to injury or change. But as the individual creature
 89 I, 5 |           condition belonging, and, as it were, allotted to him,
 90 I, 5 |             of the universe itself, as far as in him lies. But
 91 I, 5 |             universe itself, as far as in him lies. But when he
 92 I, 5 |            ought, he dishonors God, as far as the being himself
 93 I, 5 |            he dishonors God, as far as the being himself is concerned,
 94 I, 5 |             beauty of the universe, as relates to himself, although
 95 I, 5 |          can honor or dishonor God, as he is in himself; but the
 96 I, 5 |          himself; but the creature, as far as he is concerned,
 97 I, 5 |            but the creature, as far as he is concerned, appears
 98 I, 6 |             appointed such a number as he perceived was most fitting.
 99 I, 6 |        angels who fell were made so as to be within that number;
100 I, 6 |          nature, which was foreseen as perfect in number, will
101 I, 7 |       because they ought to be such as the former angels would
102 I, 7 |           by their own virtue. For, as they would have been condemned
103 I, 7 |           upheld in the same manner as those who stood; and this
104 I, 7 |            this manner I explained, as well as I could, when treating
105 I, 7 |         manner I explained, as well as I could, when treating of
106 I, 8 |            the fall of evil angels, as some understand the account
107 I, 8 |     deferred completing the number, as he does even now, determining
108 I, 8 |           understood like such days as ours, I cannot see how angels
109 I, 8 |         than that of angels, might, as it were, justify God, and
110 I, 8 |         which the devil was fallen, as far as good angels, to whom
111 I, 8 |            devil was fallen, as far as good angels, to whom it
112 I, 8 |        universe is to be understood as consisting, not so much
113 I, 8 |            in the number of beings, as in the number of natures;
114 I, 8 |            Anselm.. There is, also, as I think, another reason
115 I, 8 |             Since the elect rejoice as much over the fall of angels
116 I, 8 |             over the fall of angels as over their own exaltation,
117 I, 8 |           with the superior, might, as it were, rejoice in its
118 I, 8 |          the fame of our ancestors, as when on the birthdays of
119 I, 8 |             power was not immortal, as if, indeed, they had not
120 I, 8 |              if they had not sinned as they did, he would have
121 I, 8 |          would have confirmed them, as well as the angels who persevered.
122 I, 8 |             confirmed them, as well as the angels who persevered.
123 I, 8 |         their original holiness, so as not to have sinned though
124 I, 8 |             all their offspring, so as never more to sin; just
125 I, 8 |             never more to sin; just as when they were conquered
126 I, 8 |          sin, they were so weakened as to be unable, in themselves,
127 I, 8 |             the original trial? For as human nature, being included
128 I, 8 |          taken should be understood as equal to that of good angels?~
129 I, 8 |         angels who fell is the same as that of those who stood.
130 I, 8 |           no further certainty than as my opinion for the present,
131 I, 8 |             be held without hazard, as that, for instance, which
132 I, 8 |         explain the Divine words so as to make them favor different
133 I, 8 |             no censure to be given. As to the passage which you
134 I, 8 |           of the angels of God;" or as another translation has
135 I, 8 |         expressions, it is the same as if only "angels of God"
136 I, 8 |           men "children of Israel," as they are called "sons of
137 I, 8 |       wicked man is called a devil, as our Lord says of Judas,
138 I, 8 |             many men, will be taken as there are holy angels of
139 I, 8 |            this stage of existence, as I said above, until the
140 I, 8 |             either translation that as many men will be taken as
141 I, 8 |           as many men will be taken as there were angels who remained
142 I, 9 |           be in the heavenly empire as many men taken as substitutes
143 I, 9 |            empire as many men taken as substitutes for the angels
144 I, 9 |          substitutes for the angels as would correspond with the
145 I, 9 |           they shall take, that is, as many as there are good angels
146 I, 9 |        shall take, that is, as many as there are good angels now;
147 I, 9 |           similar kind of happiness as that which he had before
148 I, 9 |             and I will attend to it as well as I can.~Anselm..
149 I, 9 |           will attend to it as well as I can.~Anselm.. Suppose
150 I, 9 |           who held man in paradise, as it were in his own hand,
151 I, 9 |            restored, or become such as he was before he sinned.~
152 I, 9 |        become man to treat with God as with an equal. But of this
153 I, 0 |          you should not reckon this as the debt which you owe for
154 I, 0 |          and worldly pleasures such as seduce the mind from real
155 I, 0 |             pleasure, except so far as you think suffices for the
156 I, 0 |          the gifts which you bestow as a part of your debt, since
157 I, 0 |         fellow servant, man to man, as you would be done by; and
158 I, 0 |       indeed, I speak briefly, for, as we said above, vengeance
159 I, 0 |             Christ and his religion as if they did not exist, when
160 I, 0 |            much wish you to proceed as you have begun.~ ~
161 I, 1 |           which you have brought up as possible payment for your
162 I, 1 |          satisfy for a sin so small as one look contrary to the
163 I, 1 |          sin.~Anselm.. You have not as yet estimated the great
164 I, 1 |             indeed I am so situated as to make it necessary for
165 I, 1 |          slight; but when I view it as contrary to the will of
166 I, 1 |            perish, can restore them as easily as he created them.~
167 I, 1 |          can restore them as easily as he created them.~Boso. I
168 I, 1 |           if there were more worlds as full of beings as this?~
169 I, 1 |            worlds as full of beings as this?~Boso. Were they increased
170 I, 2 |             was placed in paradise, as it were in the place of
171 I, 2 |            by overcoming the devil, as he dishonored him in yielding
172 I, 2 |           to be of this kind, that, as in strength and immortal
173 I, 2 |             cannot be done, so long as from the deadly effect of
174 I, 3 |             Boso. Go on to mention, as you have begun, the evil
175 I, 3 |    conquered by the devil; so that, as by this conquest over man
176 I, 3 |             took from him; so that, as by man God suffered loss,
177 I, 3 |           except in this way: that, as in the fall of man all human
178 I, 3 |          nature was corrupted, and, as it were, tainted with sin,
179 I, 3 |      kingdom; so, by man's victory, as many men may be justified
180 I, 3 |           may be justified from sin as are needed to complete the
181 I, 3 |          hope of man seems to fail, as far as regards that happiness
182 I, 3 |           man seems to fail, as far as regards that happiness for
183 I, 4 |                  CHAPTER XXIV.~How, as long as man does not restore
184 I, 4 |          CHAPTER XXIV.~How, as long as man does not restore what
185 I, 4 |           impotence lies the fault, as it does not lessen the sin,
186 I, 4 |        ditch before pointed out, so as to be utterly unable to
187 I, 4 |             to be free from it; for as it is a crime not to have
188 I, 4 |            he ought not. Therefore, as it is a crime in man not
189 I, 4 |             have, is the same thing as to have the inability which
190 I, 4 |          admitted to happiness; for as that happiness is complete
191 I, 4 |           no one who is not so pure as to have no injustice found
192 I, 4 |           God; or else this, which, as I have before said, God
193 I, 4 |            inability, and therefore as long as he has it without
194 I, 4 |    inability, and therefore as long as he has it without atonement
195 I, 4 |       allows nothing but punishment as the recompense of sin. Therefore,
196 I, 4 |       recompense of sin. Therefore, as God cannot be inconsistent
197 I, 4 |             Anselm.. So long, then, as he does not restore, he
198 I, 4 | demonstrably proved by one argument as by many.~Boso. Surely this
199 I, 4 |          let them believe in Christ as we do, that they may be
200 I, 4 |        saved.~Boso. Let me ask you, as I have begun, to show me
201 I, 5 |      Therefore, a satisfaction such as we have above proved necessary
202 I, 5 |           my confidence. Therefore, as you have brought me thus
203 I, 5 |            that I perceive that man as a sinner owes God for his
204 I, 5 |          begin at the beginning, so as to rest it upon a strong
205 I, 5 |              Yet I will attempt it, as I have begun, not trusting
206 II, 1|            was made holy by God, so as to be happy in the enjoyment
207 II, 1|         follow holiness. Therefore, as long as it will be holy
208 II, 1|        holiness. Therefore, as long as it will be holy in loving
209 II, 1|       despite of its will, inasmuch as it does not have what it
210 II, 2|         proved that man was so made as not to be necessarily subject
211 II, 2|  necessarily subject to death; for, as we have already said, it
212 II, 3|    restoration should make him such as he would have been had he
213 II, 3|             so.~Anselm.. Therefore, as man, had he not sinned,
214 II, 3|       properly be with his own body as he lived in this world.~
215 II, 3|      restored, but is not necessary as respects the reprobate?~
216 II, 3|           or proper than this, that as man, had he continued in
217 II, 4|             he has begun. But this, as we have already said, cannot
218 II, 5|            it be so, then God seems as it were compelled, for the
219 II, 5|       necessity but grace, inasmuch as he undertook or maintains
220 II, 5|          recipient of your favor is as much indebted for your precious
221 II, 5|     indebted for your precious gift as if you had not promised
222 II, 5|            freely creating man, God as it were bound himself to
223 II, 6|            be necessary, therefore, as it appears, that the heavenly
224 II, 6|         question. Go on, therefore, as you have begun. For I hope
225 II, 7|           can they be so commingled as that a third should be produced
226 II, 7|             combination of the two (as from two animals, a male
227 II, 7|          entire in one person, just as a body and a reasonable
228 II, 8|             he will make a new man, as he made Adam originally.
229 II, 8|          never belonged to it. For, as it is right for man to make
230 II, 8|          for themselves. Therefore, as through Adam and Eve sin
231 II, 8|         fulfil this work. Moreover, as Adam and his whole race,
232 II, 8|          Boso. If we follow reason, as we proposed to do, this
233 II, 8|           from a father and mother, as other men are, or from man
234 II, 8|             from the union of both, as do all other men.~Boso.
235 II, 8|           neither of man nor woman, as he created Adam; or of man
236 II, 8|            or of man without woman, as he made Eve; or of woman
237 II, 8|              or is it unsubstantial as a cloud, as you have said
238 II, 8|           unsubstantial as a cloud, as you have said infidels declare?~
239 II, 8|         clearly fitting it is that, as man's sin and the cause
240 II, 9|         only can this be done. But, as respects this personal unity
241 II, 9|            I have expressed myself, as far as I think needful for
242 II, 9|            expressed myself, as far as I think needful for the
243 II, 9|         there will be an inequality as respects the dignity of
244 II, 9|         Wherefore they have sinned, as it were, especially against
245 II, 0|           this man was about to die as a debt, as all other men
246 II, 0|             about to die as a debt, as all other men do. For, if
247 II, 0|            word concerning him, not as of one who never existed
248 II, 0|           have spoken hitherto, but as of one whom we know and
249 II, 0|             would have been a liar, as he himself says, and therefore
250 II, 0|             the will be not implied as acting, there is no power,
251 II, 0|          that he could lie, so long as we understand, if he chose
252 II, 0|            with regard to that man, as if nothing were known of
253 II, 0|             a thing is but the same as not to prevent it, when
254 II, 0|          not by any necessity, but, as before said, by his own
255 II, 0|            and our first parents so as to be incapable of sin,
256 II, 0|            to be the same with God, as we say that man was. And
257 II, 0|          subject to death, inasmuch as he will not be a sinner.~
258 II, 1|         remains to inquire whether, as man's nature is, it is possible
259 II, 1|             nature of man, but only as corrupted. Since, had man
260 II, 1|       confirmed, he would have been as really man; and, when the
261 II, 1|           in the definition of man, as given by philosophers, for
262 II, 1|              We may not doubt that, as he will be God, he will
263 II, 1|              it makes no difference as far as regards his power.~
264 II, 1|          makes no difference as far as regards his power.~Boso.
265 II, 1|            God, or anything of his, as if God did not have what
266 II, 1|           God, which he did not owe as a debtor.~Boso. So it seems
267 II, 1|             to God by obedience, so as, by steadily maintaining
268 II, 1|          not demanded of him by God as his due. For every reasonable
269 II, 1|         will not demand this of him as a debt; for, as no sin will
270 II, 1|         this of him as a debt; for, as no sin will be found, he
271 II, 1|         found, he ought not to die, as we have already said.~Boso.
272 II, 1|         easiest manner possible, so as to dishonor God by sinning
273 II, 1|           man has departed from God as far as possible in his sin,
274 II, 1|            departed from God as far as possible in his sin, he
275 II, 2|            Anselm.. No, indeed! For as no advantage which one has
276 II, 3|         inherit also our ignorance, as he does our other infirmities?~
277 II, 3|            them in their ignorance, as he is in their mortality?~
278 II, 3|             nothing is loved except as it is known, and there be
279 II, 3|            what evil is. Therefore, as he of whom we are speaking
280 II, 3|              this should seem to he as you say; but, in infancy,
281 II, 3|           you say; but, in infancy, as it will not be a fit time
282 II, 4|           infinite number of worlds as full of created existence
283 II, 4|           full of created existence as this, they could not stand,
284 II, 4|            to killing him, but even as to the slightest injury
285 II, 4|           injury inflicted upon him as more heinous than all other
286 II, 4|             be thought of, inasmuch as all sins whatsoever are
287 II, 4|            subjection to his power, as you answered a certain question
288 II, 4|           Boso. If its existence is as great a good as its destruction
289 II, 4|        existence is as great a good as its destruction is an evil,
290 II, 4|       Consider, also, that sins are as hateful as they are evil,
291 II, 4|            that sins are as hateful as they are evil, and that
292 II, 4|          only amiable in proportion as it is good. And, therefore,
293 II, 4|           lay down life is the same as to suffer death, as the
294 II, 4|            same as to suffer death, as the gift of his life surpasses
295 II, 5|            one thing more. If it be as great an evil to slay him
296 II, 5|           great an evil to slay him as his life is a good, how
297 II, 5|            we have been considering as equal to the worth of his
298 II, 5|         life, we have not looked at as having been ignorantly done,
299 II, 5|        himself must be acknowledged as true, for God cannot lie,
300 II, 5|            he does must be received as wisely done, though we do
301 II, 6|             of Adam and Eve. ~Boso. As, therefore, you have disclosed
302 II, 6|            take, a man without sin, as an unleavened lump from
303 II, 6|          his creating man, inasmuch as it is done for the sinner
304 II, 6|            and so deep love for us, as to be both able and willing
305 II, 6|           his desire; and, inasmuch as those who are to be pardoned
306 II, 6|            at the time of his death as are necessary to complete
307 II, 6|            man, was so unprofitable as to contain no human being
308 II, 6|             correct reasoning, such as nothing can oppose, that
309 II, 6|           So that we rest upon this as not only proper but also
310 II, 6|             make all men from them, as many as were needed for
311 II, 6|          all men from them, as many as were needed for the celestial
312 II, 6|         enter the heavenly kingdom, as I said above, with regard
313 II, 6|       himself.~Anselm.. Not so. But as the mother's purity, which
314 II, 7|           could not be born, except as destined to suffer death. ~
315 II, 7|            so constituted by nature as not to wish to lie, and,
316 II, 7|         could preserve his life, so as never to die, we must not
317 II, 7|        receive birth from a virgin, as you said above.~Anselm..
318 II, 7|            you said above.~Anselm.. As you think that he could
319 II, 7|             wish to die. Wherefore, as you ought not to say that
320 II, 7|           his own unchangeableness, as often as it is said that
321 II, 7|          unchangeableness, as often as it is said that he does
322 II, 7|            of that man was the same as the will of God, he died
323 II, 7|          desire.~Anselm.. If, then, as you say, he could not avoid
324 II, 7|        great ado about nothing, or, as the saying is, you stumble
325 II, 7|            explain the subject, not as to learned men, but to me
326 II, 7|           me, then, to question you as my slowness and dullness
327 II, 7|          dullness require, so that, as you have begun thus far,
328 II, 8|        necessary or impossible save as He wishes it. Nay, the very
329 II, 8|       choosing or refusing anything as a necessity or an impossibility
330 II, 8|           chooses and nothing else, as no necessity or impossibility
331 II, 8|           action are immutable. And as, when God does a thing,
332 II, 8|            yet there is no coercion as far as he is concerned,
333 II, 8|         there is no coercion as far as he is concerned, either
334 II, 8|           something else, precisely as I said with regard to the
335 II, 8|     necessary, we do not mean that, as far as he is concerned,
336 II, 8|            do not mean that, as far as he is concerned, there is
337 II, 8|       should remain unchanged. And, as I said before, when one
338 II, 8|           must necessarily turn out as she believed. And, if it
339 II, 8|            be. But such a necessity as this does not compel a thing
340 II, 8|           by him; for this he chose as he did. For therefore were
341 II, 8|          down and to take it again, as he himself said.~Boso. You
342 II, 8|         ourselves in such questions as that of original sin, and
343 II, 8|            our intended work.~Boso. As you choose; but with this
344 II, 8|      explanation, which you owe me, as it were, but which now you
345 II, 8|       discussing.~Anselm.. Inasmuch as I entertain this desire
346 II, 8|           excellent and so glorious as to make ample satisfaction
347 II, 9|           honor of God, such a gift as surpasses all things else
348 II, 9|             have done this, had he, as he might have done, avoided
349 II, 9|         celibacy, may be said to do as they ought. For no one says
350 II, 9|          man preserves his celibacy as a free gift offered to God,
351 II, 9|            you mean that he owes it as a debt, without implying
352 II, 9|           is not always true. Thus, as I have already said, a man
353 II, 9|            is not bound to celibacy as a debt, but ought to marry
354 II, 9|             word "debere" precisely as we sometimes do the words "
355 II, 9|         Lord Jesus, when he wished, as we have said, to suffer
356 II, 9|            not bound to do anything as a debt. As he is both God
357 II, 9|           to do anything as a debt. As he is both God and man,
358 II, 9|            obligation, except to do as he chose. In like manner,
359 II, 9|           he chose. In like manner, as one person of the Trinity,
360 II, 9|      possessed of his own right, so as to be complete in himself,
361 II, 9|           die for the honor of God, as a debt; for this my own
362 II, 9|          himself for his own honor, as well as for that of the
363 II, 9|          for his own honor, as well as for that of the Father and
364 II, 9|            the whole Deity, to whom as man he offered himself.
365 II, 0|          then it will almost appear as if the Son had done this
366 II, 0|          those for whose salvation, as right reason teaches, he
367 II, 0|            man; and for whose sake, as we have already said, he
368 II, 0|           which rest on solid truth as on a firm foundation, and
369 II, 0|           should atone by holiness. As God owed nothing to the
370 II, 0|             by conquering the devil as man had already been conquered
371 II, 1|       consistent with his holiness, as to be incomparably above
372 II, 2|              to be impossible. For, as man could not be reconciled
373 II, 2|         sins of his companions. And as man must not be restored
374 II, 2|           were not sprung from one, as all men were. And there
375 II, 2|            restoration, viz , that, as they fell with none to plot
376 II, 2|     deceived. And I do not say this as if to deny that the virtue
377 II, 3|          and approves the Old. And, as we must acknowledge him
