  1 pre  |          the impossibility that any man should be saved without
  2 pre  |           purpose, viz., that every man should enjoy a happy immortality,
  3 pre  |          that this design for which man was made should be fulfilled;
  4 pre  |         fulfilled unless God became man, and unless all things were
  5 I, 1 |     necessity, in sooth, God became man, and by his own death, as
  6 I, 2 |      understand that for all that a man can say or know still deeper
  7 I, 3 |         race by the disobedience of man, it was fitting that by
  8 I, 3 |              it was fitting that by man's obedience life should
  9 I, 3 |          that the devil, who, being man's tempter, had conquered
 10 I, 3 |             should be vanquished by man in the suffering of the
 11 I, 3 |         suffering of the tree which man bore. Many other things
 12 I, 4 |             God had made concerning man should fall to the ground;
 13 I, 5 |            V.~How the redemption of man could not be effected by
 14 I, 5 |           human being), the mind of man would receive it far more
 15 I, 5 |            God could have made some man without sin, not of a sinful
 16 I, 5 |             not a descendant of any man, but just as he made Adam,
 17 I, 5 |           he made Adam, and by this man it should seem that the
 18 I, 5 |           other being should rescue man from eternal death, man
 19 I, 5 |             man from eternal death, man would rightly be adjudged
 20 I, 6 |             punish the sins of men, man is free from his sins, and
 21 I, 6 |     disparage his wisdom. For, if a man without motive should do,
 22 I, 6 |           would consider him a wise man. As to your statement that
 23 I, 6 |            not otherwise have saved man. For, if he could not have
 24 I, 6 |            when he could have saved man differently, why is it that,
 25 I, 7 |         justice on his side against man; and why it was, that he
 26 I, 7 |            why God could have freed man in this way. ~MOREOVER,
 27 I, 7 |             a rightful ownership of man, for the devil had not seized
 28 I, 7 |            the devil had not seized man with violence, but man had
 29 I, 7 |       seized man with violence, but man had freely surrendered to
 30 I, 7 |            be said, if the devil or man belonged to any other being
 31 I, 7 |         since neither the devil nor man belong to any but God, and
 32 I, 7 |            the judge of all, snatch man, thus held, out of the power
 33 I, 7 |             be in this? For, though man deserved to be tormented
 34 I, 7 |         tormented him unjustly. For man merited punishment, and
 35 I, 7 |            has any right in holding man, are brought to this belief
 36 I, 7 |          this belief by seeing that man is justly exposed to the
 37 I, 7 |         violence on the part of the man who returns the blow is
 38 I, 7 |           justice permits this, and man in justice suffers it. But
 39 I, 7 |        justice suffers it. But when man is said to suffer justly,
 40 I, 7 |           the punishment of sin, of man, before Christ suffered,
 41 I, 7 |             sin to which he tempted man, so that in this way he
 42 I, 7 |             to prove his right over man, I do not by any means think
 43 I, 7 |             by writing, that, since man had sinned, he should not
 44 I, 7 |             devil in his tormenting man. In fine, as there is never
 45 I, 7 |           him for the liberation of man.~ ~
 46 I, 8 |            be said of him even as a man; and why it appears to them
 47 I, 8 |           appears to them that this man did not suffer death of
 48 I, 8 |         Christ is very God and very man, one person in two natures,
 49 I, 8 |            Deity; but the nature of man we believe to be exalted.~
 50 I, 8 |      treated in such a manner, that man whom the Father called his
 51 I, 8 |          most just of all men? What man, if he condemned the innocent
 52 I, 8 |           Father did not treat that man as you seem to suppose,
 53 I, 9 |     acknowledge this.~Anselm.. That man, therefore, owed this obedience
 54 I, 9 |         demand this.~Anselm.. Ought man to suffer death, if he had
 55 I, 9 |        account that we believe that man would not have been subject
 56 I, 9 |            be a miserable thing for man to die against his will.~
 57 I, 9 |          Boso. It is plain that, if man had not sinned, God ought
 58 I, 9 |       rescue the human race, unless man were to do even as great
 59 I, 9 |            any other way, except by man's doing so great a thing
 60 I, 9 |            desired the salvation of man, as if the Father had commanded
 61 I, 0 |             asserting that he moves man. For as the Son says of
 62 I, 0 |             says of the Father: "No man cometh to me except the
 63 I, 0 |         could he have declared: "No man layeth down his life for
 64 I, 0 |           or draw him." For since a man is drawn or moved by his
 65 I, 0 |          desire. Thus when we see a man who desires to endure pain
 66 I, 0 |             I may take it again; no man taketh it from me, but I
 67 I, 0 |          power to take it again." A man cannot, therefore, be properly
 68 I, 0 |        honor of God, and useful for man's salvation, which would
 69 I, 0 |              why God could not save man in some other way, and if
 70 I, 0 |    unbecoming for God to have saved man in this way; and it is not
 71 I, 0 |         avails for the salvation of man. For it is a strange thing
 72 I, 0 |            that we affirm of him as man, had never taken place;
 73 I, 0 |           it agreed between us that man was made for happiness,
 74 I, 0 |       freedom from sin, and that no man passes this life without
 75 I, 0 |            Therefore, in order that man may attain happiness, remission
 76 I, 1 |         mine to listen.~Anselm.. If man or angel always rendered
 77 I, 1 |              This is the debt which man and angel owe to God, and
 78 I, 2 |           one knows that justice to man is regulated by law, so
 79 I, 2 |          nor that is true;" as if a man should say: "Supposing water
 80 I, 2 |          and if he desires that any man should die, then is it right
 81 I, 4 |             it from him. For either man renders due submission to
 82 I, 4 |           by torments, even against man's will, and thus shows that
 83 I, 4 |        shows that he is the Lord of man, though man refuses to acknowledge
 84 I, 4 |             the Lord of man, though man refuses to acknowledge it
 85 I, 4 |             we must observe that as man in sinning takes away what
 86 I, 4 |             return what pertains to man. For not only does that
 87 I, 4 |          only does that belong to a man which he has in present
 88 I, 4 |           to have. Therefore, since man was so made as to be able
 89 I, 4 |           any object of his own, as man transfers the money which
 90 I, 5 |       opposite part. And so, though man or evil angel refuse to
 91 I, 8 |            more of you.~Anselm.. If man was created after the fall
 92 I, 8 |         number, and that afterwards man was created to complete
 93 I, 8 |           in his own time to create man. Wherefore, either God would
 94 I, 8 |        state; since, supposing that man and angels were not created
 95 I, 8 |        angels been created, and had man been made only to fill the
 96 I, 8 |        fallen from their happiness, man would never have, been exalted
 97 I, 8 |             more powerful to bind a man in servitude, after he has
 98 I, 8 |            single exception of that man whom God being able to create
 99 I, 8 |          his angel. And if a wicked man is called a devil, as our
100 I, 8 |       malice; why should not a good man be called an angel, because
101 I, 9 |                    CHAPTER XIX.~How man cannot be saved without
102 I, 9 |         Anselm.. Can you think that man, who has sinned, and never
103 I, 9 |         that God should take sinful man without an atonement, in
104 I, 9 |           for truth will not suffer man thus to be raised to an
105 I, 9 |             circumstances, to raise man to the same or a similar
106 I, 9 |             Anselm.. Suppose a rich man possessed a choice pearl
107 I, 9 |             you consider him a wise man?~Boso. How can I? for would
108 I, 9 |          acting like this, who held man in paradise, as it were
109 I, 9 |           of sin, though truly with man's consent? For, had God
110 I, 9 |        devil could not have tempted man. Now I say, would not God
111 I, 9 |             this, should he restore man, stained with the defilement
112 I, 9 |           had before he sinned; for man cannot in this way be restored,
113 I, 9 |            payment; for God owes no man anything, but every creature
114 I, 9 |       therefore, it does not become man to treat with God as with
115 I, 9 |            so clearly shown that no man can attain happiness in
116 I, 0 |    proportionate to guilt; and that man is of himself unable to
117 I, 0 |             to your fellow servant, man to man, as you would be
118 I, 0 |         your fellow servant, man to man, as you would be done by;
119 I, 0 |            coming were necessary to man's salvation.~Boso. We did
120 I, 1 |              This is in the case of man, who often does not know
121 I, 1 |            it no less difficult for man to be reconciled to God.~
122 I, 2 |         CHAPTER XXII.~What contempt man brought upon God, when he
123 I, 2 |             satisfaction. ~Anselm.. Man being made holy was placed
124 I, 2 |        devil to shame, because that man, though weaker and dwelling
125 I, 2 |          any to tempt him. And when man could have easily effected
126 I, 2 |             to the honor of God for man to be reconciled to Him,
127 I, 2 |             heaped upon God; unless man first sball have honored
128 I, 2 |            the first transgression, man is conceived and born in
129 I, 2 |           thing more, without which man's reconciliation cannot
130 I, 3 |                 CHAPTER XXIII.~What man took from God by his sin,
131 I, 3 |           repay. ~Anselm.. What did man take from God, when he allowed
132 I, 3 |           of them.~Anselm.. Did not man take from God whatever He
133 I, 3 |           according to that whether man makes to God a real satisfaction
134 I, 3 |            by overcoming the devil, man restore to God what he took
135 I, 3 |            as by this conquest over man the devil took what belonged
136 I, 3 |            God was the loser, so in man's victory the devil may
137 I, 3 |        think it.~Anselm.. Therefore man cannot and ought not by
138 I, 3 |            from him; so that, as by man God suffered loss, by man,
139 I, 3 |           man God suffered loss, by man, also, He might recover
140 I, 3 |             that, as in the fall of man all human nature was corrupted,
141 I, 3 |            heavenly kingdom; so, by man's victory, as many men may
142 I, 3 |           complete the number which man was made to fill. But a
143 I, 3 |          made to fill. But a sinful man can by no means do this,
144 I, 3 |   compassion of God and the hope of man seems to fail, as far as
145 I, 3 |            that happiness for which man was made.~Anselm.. Yet wait
146 I, 4 |       CHAPTER XXIV.~How, as long as man does not restore what he
147 I, 4 |            of power. ~Anselm.. If a man is called unjust who does
148 I, 4 |              Just so inexcusable is man, who has voluntarily brought
149 I, 4 |      Therefore, as it is a crime in man not to have that power which
150 I, 4 |        ought not to have. Therefore man's inability to restore what
151 I, 4 |            purpose, does not excuse man from paying; for the result
152 I, 4 |          and must be true.~Anselm.. Man, then, is unjust in not
153 I, 4 |             viz., either this which man ought voluntarily to render
154 I, 4 |             about to take away from man by punishment, even against
155 I, 4 |            punishment, even against man's will, viz., happiness.
156 I, 4 |            But if God gives up what man ought freely to render,
157 I, 4 |         render, for the reason that man cannot repay it, what is
158 I, 4 |        about to take from unwilling man, because man is unable to
159 I, 4 |         from unwilling man, because man is unable to restore what
160 I, 4 |            the punishment and makes man happy on account of his
161 I, 4 |           true that God pardons the man who does not pay his debt
162 I, 4 |         were so.~Anselm.. But while man does not make payment, he
163 I, 4 |            merciful, who preserveth man and beast, according to
164 I, 4 |    exceeding pity by which he makes man happy after this life. And
165 I, 4 |            so. But how, then, shall man be saved, if he neither
166 I, 4 |           in the need of Christ for man's salvation, and you should
167 I, 4 |            request them to tell how man can be saved without Christ.
168 I, 4 |           us, who do not doubt that man can be saved through Christ;
169 I, 4 |             begun, to show me how a man is saved by Christ.~ ~
170 I, 5 |                    CHAPTER XXV.~How man's salvation by Christ is
171 I, 5 |            sufficiently proved that man can be saved by Christ,
172 I, 5 |           infidels do not deny that man can be happy somehow, and
173 I, 5 |          salvation can be found for man? For, either by Christ or
174 I, 5 |             or by some one else can man be saved, or else not at
175 I, 5 |              then, it is false that man cannot be saved all, or
176 I, 5 |           person who perceives that man cannot be saved in any other
177 I, 5 |        unfitting for God to elevate man with any stain upon him,
178 I, 5 |             same unfitness, that no man should be exalted to that
179 I, 5 |             so that I perceive that man as a sinner owes God for
180 I, 5 |          avail for the salvation of man, and how God saves man by
181 I, 5 |           of man, and how God saves man by compassion; when he never
182 I, 5 |        never remits his sin, unless man shall have rendered what
183 II, 1|                      CHAPTER I.~How man was made holy by God, so
184 II, 1|         power of discernment, since man's discretion would be useless
185 II, 1|             which is God. Therefore man, whose nature is rational,
186 II, 2|                     CHAPTER II.~How man would never have died, unless
187 II, 2|            it is easily proved that man was so made as not to be
188 II, 2|        wisdom and justice to compel man to suffer death without
189 II, 2|          therefore follows that had man never sinned he never would
190 II, 3|                    CHAPTER III.~How man will rise with the same
191 II, 3|           is clearly proved. For if man is to be perfectly restored,
192 II, 3|              Anselm.. Therefore, as man, had he not sinned, was
193 II, 3|           proper than this, that as man, had he continued in holiness,
194 II, 5|             secure the salvation of man. How, then, can it be denied
195 II, 5|    completing his intended favor to man; though, indeed, it would
196 II, 5|           and not his own. For what man was about to do was not
197 II, 5|          and yet by freely creating man, God as it were bound himself
198 II, 5|             work which God does for man is of grace, that it is
199 II, 6|         make the atonement by which man is saved. ~Anselm.. But
200 II, 6|          paid to God for the sin of man be something greater than
201 II, 6|             Anselm.. But none but a man ought to do this, other
202 II, 6|        ought to do this, other wise man does not make the satisfaction.~
203 II, 6|           God can make and none but man ought to make, it is necessary
204 II, 6|          inquire how God can become man.~ ~
205 II, 7|             perfect God and perfect man. ~Anselm.. The Divine and
206 II, 7|            case be only God and not man, or man only and not God.
207 II, 7|            only God and not man, or man only and not God. Or, if
208 II, 7|            would neither be God nor man. Therefore the God-man,
209 II, 7|             same with that which is man, it is impossible for both
210 II, 7|             has no debt to pay; and man will not do it, because
211 II, 7|             perfect God and perfect man, in order to make this atonement.
212 II, 7|             he be very God and very man. Since, then, it is necessary
213 II, 7|         should be very God and very man.~Boso. All that you say
214 II, 8|            it behoved God to take a man of the race of Adam, and
215 II, 8|             else he will make a new man, as he made Adam originally.
216 II, 8|              But, if he makes a new man, not of Adam's race, then
217 II, 8|           of Adam's race, then this man will not belong to the human
218 II, 8|             For, as it is right for man to make atonement for the
219 II, 8|            atonement for the sin of man, it is also necessary that
220 II, 8|        would only make woman out of man, that by the union of both
221 II, 8|         regard to human nature from man alone. Wherefore, if the
222 II, 8|       therefore, necessary that the man by whom Adam's race shall
223 II, 8|           as other men are, or from man alone, or from woman alone.
224 II, 8|        great toil to show that that man will be brought into existence
225 II, 8|            manner, if produced from man alone, or woman alone, than
226 II, 8|             he be taken either from man alone, or woman alone.~Boso.
227 II, 8|            four ways can God create man, viz., either of man and
228 II, 8|         create man, viz., either of man and woman, in the common
229 II, 8|           common way; or neither of man nor woman, as he created
230 II, 8|           as he created Adam; or of man without woman, as he made
231 II, 8|            Eve; or of woman without man, which thus far he has never
232 II, 8|            that he should take that man whose origin we are seeking
233 II, 8|      seeking from a woman without a man? Now whether it be more
234 II, 8|      clearly fitting it is that, as man's sin and the cause of our
235 II, 8|           woman, whom God made from man alone, was made of a virgin (
236 II, 8|         peculiarly fitting for that man also, who shall spring from
237 II, 8|             born of a woman without man. Of the pictures which can
238 II, 9|            unite in one person with man. ~Anselm.. Now must we inquire
239 II, 9|          upon himself the nature of man. For a plurality of persons
240 II, 9|        cannot take one and the same man into a unity of person.
241 II, 9|           personal unity of God and man, and in which of the Divine
242 II, 9|           having nothing to do with man, will yet be the grandson

246 II, 0|            to question whether this man was about to die as a debt,

248 II, 0|         inquiry with regard to that man, as if nothing were known
249 II, 0|     accustomed to say that God made man and angel capable of sinning
250 II, 0|           Therefore, likewise, that man who will be also God since
251 II, 0|         since God could make such a man, why he did not create angels
252 II, 0|            with God, as we say that man was. And if you ask why
253 II, 1|             the essential nature of man. ~Anselm.. Now, also, it
254 II, 1|      remains to inquire whether, as man's nature is, it is possible
255 II, 1|             it is possible for that man to die?~Boso. We need hardly
256 II, 1|             since he will be really man, and every man is by nature
257 II, 1|            be really man, and every man is by nature mortal.~Anselm..
258 II, 1|             the essential nature of man, but only as corrupted.
259 II, 1|            as corrupted. Since, had man never sinned, and had his
260 II, 1|           would have been as really man; and, when the dying rise
261 II, 1|           was immortal could not be man. Wherefore, neither corruption
262 II, 1|        neither makes nor destroys a man; but happiness accrues to
263 II, 1|       included in the definition of man, as given by philosophers,
264 II, 1|      believed in the possibility of man's being immortal in all
265 II, 1|           enough to prove that that man ought to be subject to death,
266 II, 1|           will be in all respects a man.~Boso. Seek then for some
267 II, 1|          with pleasure.~Anselm.. If man sinned with ease, is it
268 II, 1|           him, is it not right that man, in making satisfaction
269 II, 1|           it not proper that, since man has departed from God as
270 II, 1|             severe or difficult for man to do for God's honor, than
271 II, 1|            bound by obligation; and man cannot give himself to God
272 II, 1|        wishes to make atonement for man's sin should be one who
273 II, 1|          think it is plain that the man whom we seek for should
274 II, 1|         peculiarly fitting for that man to enter into the common
275 II, 3|              No! but, although this man be immortal in respect to
276 II, 3|          take anything belonging to man which is only useless, but
277 II, 3|    hindrance to the work which that man must accomplish. For ignorance
278 II, 3|            question in a word: that man, from the essential nature
279 II, 4|             God.~Anselm.. Were that man here before you, and you
280 II, 4|          injury inflicted upon that man.~Boso. This is most plain.~
281 II, 5|           done in ignorance. For no man could ever, knowingly at
282 II, 5|         knowingly; a thing which no man ever did or could do.~Boso.
283 II, 5|          forgiveness of sins, which man can never have but by man,
284 II, 5|           man can never have but by man, who must be at the same
285 II, 5|          confess to be both God and man, died for us; and, when
286 II, 6|      CHAPTER XVI.~How God took that man from a sinful substance,
287 II, 6|             tainted by sin, take, a man without sin, as an unleavened
288 II, 6|       though the conception of this man be pure, and free from the
289 II, 6|        Since it is fitting for that man to be God, and also the
290 II, 6|            easy for God; but before man was made he had not sinned
291 II, 6|          denied existence But after man was made he deserved, by
292 II, 6|           Therefore God's restoring man is more wonderful than his
293 II, 6|         wonderful than his creating man, inasmuch as it is done
294 II, 6|            was not in opposition to man's deserts. How great a thing
295 II, 6|            it is, also, for God and man to unite in one person,
296 II, 6|           being may be both God and man! Who, then, will dare to
297 II, 6| accomplished?~Boso. I allow that no man can wholly discover so great
298 II, 6|            desire you to do what no man can do, but only to explain
299 II, 6|            that God ought to become man, no doubt He will not lack
300 II, 6|          may we believe that, since man was created, there was ever
301 II, 6|       creatures made for the use of man, was so unprofitable as
302 II, 6|        there never was a time since man was created when there has
303 II, 6|  reconciliation without which every man was made in vain. So that
304 II, 6|           design for which God made man, and there is no further
305 II, 6|          the virgin, from whom that man was taken of whom we are
306 II, 7|           what he is. For he became man for this purpose, and it
307 II, 7|        being; for he did not become man in order that he should
308 II, 7|             freely wished to become man, that by the same unchanging
309 II, 7|           the virgin from whom that man should be born might be
310 II, 7|       Wherefore, if God wished that man to die, he could but die.~
311 II, 7|           of God took the nature of man with this desire, viz.,
312 II, 7|        prove it necessary that this man should not be able to avoid
313 II, 7|         that the Son of God and the man whose person he took were
314 II, 7|        being should be both God and man, the Son of God and the
315 II, 7|         Anselm.. Therefore the same man could possibly both die
316 II, 7|         power, and the will of that man was the same as the will
317 II, 8|           else. Thus we say "Such a man can be bound," instead of
318 II, 8|              then, we say that that man (who, by the union of persons,
319 II, 8|           by which he freely became man for this design, viz., that
320 II, 8|           this is so with regard to man, much less can we speak
321 II, 8|             of the work needful for man's restoration which the
322 II, 8|           be so. For this he became man; for this he did and suffered
323 II, 8|          how it was that God took a man without sin from a sinful
324 II, 8|            all mankind, except this man of whom we are speaking;
325 II, 8|            was this, why God became man, for the purpose of saving
326 II, 8|              and could not, without man paid the debt which he owed
327 II, 8|          great that, while none but man must solve the debt, none
328 II, 8|             it must be both God and man. And hence arises a necessity
329 II, 8|      necessity that God should take man into unity with his own
330 II, 8|            you have shown that that man, who was also God, must
331 II, 8|      clearly shown the life of this man to have been so excellent
332 II, 9|           of the truth.~Anselm.. No man except this one ever gave
333 II, 9|            absolutely enjoined upon man; so that both he who chooses
334 II, 9|              but we say that what a man esteems best before taking
335 II, 9|            he ought to do. And if a man preserves his celibacy as
336 II, 9|           as I have already said, a man is not bound to celibacy
337 II, 9|         debt. As he is both God and man, in connection with his
338 II, 9|            nature, which made him a man, he must also have received
339 II, 9|             whole Deity, to whom as man he offered himself. And,
340 II, 0|           reason teaches, he became man; and for whose sake, as
341 II, 0|         said to have done what that man did, on account of the personal
342 II, 0|      mankind. But God demanded that man should conquer the devil,
343 II, 0|            devil but punishment, so man must only make amends by
344 II, 0|             conquering the devil as man had already been conquered
345 II, 0|            whatever was demanded of man, he owed to God and not
346 II, 1|      considering God's holiness and man's sin; we have found it,
347 II, 2|           to be impossible. For, as man could not be reconciled
348 II, 2|     holiness the loss occasioned by man's sin should be made up;
349 II, 2|           of his companions. And as man must not be restored by
350 II, 2|           must not be restored by a man of a different race, though
351 II, 3|             proving that God became man by necessity, leaving out
