  1 pre  |           made should be fulfilled; but that it could not be fulfilled
  2 I, 1 |           faith by means of reason, but that they may be gladdened
  3 I, 1 |         will. Not only the learned, but also many unlearned persons
  4 I, 2 |           the subject is important, but as it is of a form fair
  5 I, 2 |       language does not please him. But, to cut you off from all
  6 I, 2 |             of mine for the learned but for me, and those asking
  7 I, 2 |             as to inquire with you. But I wish all that I say to
  8 I, 2 |           clearer revelation to me. But if I am in any measure able
  9 I, 2 |        because they do not believe, but we, on the other hand, because
 10 I, 3 |       injustice or dishonor to God, but give him thanks with all
 11 I, 3 |            towards us. For did they but carefully consider bow fitly
 12 I, 3 |            ridicule our simplicity, but would rather join with us
 13 I, 4 |          and like so many pictures; but, if they have no solid foundation,
 14 I, 4 |           belief of ours a reality, but only a fiction, they consider
 15 I, 5 |         effected by any other being but God.~Boso. If this deliverance
 16 I, 5 |            a descendant of any man, but just as he made Adam, and
 17 I, 6 |           things in some other way, but did not wish to, how can
 18 I, 6 |             wrath of God is nothing but his desire to punish. If,
 19 I, 6 |      manifest his love in this way. But now, when he could have
 20 I, 7 |           seized man with violence, but man had freely surrendered
 21 I, 7 |            were in the power of any but God. But since neither the
 22 I, 7 |           the power of any but God. But since neither the devil
 23 I, 7 |         devil nor man belong to any but God, and neither can exist
 24 I, 7 |          suo), or what should he do but punish his servant, who
 25 I, 7 |           given his consent to sin. But the infliction of punishment
 26 I, 7 |            it by a love of justice, but urged on by a malicious
 27 I, 7 |         this at the command of God, but God's inconceivable wisdom,
 28 I, 7 |        ought not to avenge himself; but as far as he who received
 29 I, 7 |          man in justice suffers it. But when man is said to suffer
 30 I, 7 |             hand of justice itself, but that he is punished by the
 31 I, 7 |           the just judgment of God. But if that written decree is
 32 I, 7 |           of a decree of the devil, but of God. For by the just
 33 I, 8 |         wish the thing in question; but many will never allow that
 34 I, 8 |          which he wishes to effect. But we say that the Lord Jesus
 35 I, 8 |        nature, which cannot suffer; but to the feebleness of the
 36 I, 8 |    debasement of the Divine nature, but we teach that one person
 37 I, 8 |           no lowering of the Deity; but the nature of man we believe
 38 I, 8 |           manner of human weakness; but how will it ever be made
 39 I, 8 |              If, however, he could, but did not wish to, how shall
 40 I, 8 |            slain, against his will, but of his own accord he endured
 41 I, 8 |             spared not his own Son, but gave him up for us all."
 42 I, 8 |         came not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent
 43 I, 8 |        nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will ." And again: "
 44 I, 9 |          Son;" and: "not as I will, but as you will ." V~Anselm..
 45 I, 9 |          not demanded by obedience, but inflicted on him, because
 46 I, 9 |             Boso. For nothing else, but that, in word and in life,
 47 I, 9 |        obedience and he endured it; but I do not understand how
 48 I, 9 |           have exacted this of him; but I should like to hear the
 49 I, 9 |    therefore, compel Christ to die; but he suffered death of his
 50 I, 9 |             as an act of obedience, but on account of his obedience
 51 I, 9 |         exaltation in any other way but by obedience unto death;
 52 I, 9 |            to the Father were his); but the expression is used because
 53 I, 9 |            we intend to do a thing, but mean to do something else
 54 I, 9 |           because the boat is gone; but if afterwards I cross, when
 55 I, 9 |            should take place first, but also when we intend to do
 56 I, 9 |             by means of that thing, but only after it. For if one
 57 I, 9 |           this was really the case, but that he deported himself
 58 I, 9 |            not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent
 59 I, 9 |           does not have of himself, but of God, he ought not to
 60 I, 9 |          ought not to call his own, but God's. Now no one has the
 61 I, 9 |            a holy will, of himself, but of God. Christ, therefore,
 62 I, 9 |             not to do his own will, but that of the Father; for
 63 I, 9 |          derived from his humanity, but from his divinity. For that
 64 I, 9 |             spared not his own Son, but gave him up for us all,"
 65 I, 9 |         nevertheless not as I will, but as you will ;" and "If this
 66 I, 9 |          from the anguish of death. But he speaks of the will of
 67 I, 9 |             of the Son to his life; but because the Father was not
 68 I, 0 |      suffering, and spared him not, but gave him up for us and desired
 69 I, 0 |             human being of himself, but of the Father; so also that
 70 I, 0 |         good, he could not have had but from the Father of lights,
 71 I, 0 |            there is any constraint, but a free and grateful clinging
 72 I, 0 |             Son spared not himself, but gave himself for us of his
 73 I, 0 |             will, did not spare him but gave him up for us, and
 74 I, 0 |           being, not of compulsion, but freely, follows the will
 75 I, 0 |         pleasure in, his suffering, but in his choice. We are, also,
 76 I, 0 |             who can prevent a thing but does not, desires the thing
 77 I, 0 |             death had he chosen to; but because, as has been said,
 78 I, 0 |            other salvation for them but by his death; and not to
 79 I, 0 |            died, not by compulsion, but of free choice. For he was
 80 I, 0 |           no man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself;
 81 I, 0 |           own power and will.~Boso. But this simple fact, that God
 82 I, 1 |         pays this debt commits sin; but every one who does not pay
 83 I, 1 |           what has been taken away, but, considering the contempt
 84 I, 1 |       merely rendering honor again, but must, according to the extent
 85 I, 2 |             is our belief.~Anselm.. But if sin is neither paid for
 86 I, 2 |           withstand your reasoning. But when God commands us in
 87 I, 2 |           vengeance belongs to none but Him who is Lord of all;
 88 I, 2 |           which I thought to exist; but there is another to which
 89 I, 2 |             and compassion is true; but we ought so to interpret
 90 I, 2 |            that it is right to lie, but rather that he is not God.
 91 I, 3 |           plain than this.~Anselm.. But there is no greater injustice
 92 I, 3 |           and which is nothing else but God himself.~Boso. There
 93 I, 4 |    punishment of the wicked. ~Boso. But I wish to hear from you
 94 I, 4 |          not pay what he took away, but is punished, God loses his
 95 I, 4 |          has in present possession, but also that which it is in
 96 I, 5 |          What you say satisfies me. But there is still another point
 97 I, 5 |        subject to injury or change. But as the individual creature
 98 I, 5 |        bestowing anything upon him, but because he brings himself
 99 I, 5 |              as far as in him lies. But when he does not choose
100 I, 5 |             place where they can be but under the heavens, nor can
101 I, 5 |             are not only unfitting, but consequently impossible;
102 I, 5 |           God, as he is in himself; but the creature, as far as
103 I, 6 |            is a part of our belief, but still I should like to have
104 I, 6 |           and so fell of necessity. But this last is an absurd idea.~
105 I, 6 |             will remain incomplete. But this cannot be.~Boso. Doubtless,
106 I, 6 |          must be restored.~Anselm.. But this restoration can only
107 I, 7 |            impossibility of theirs. But other angels cannot be substituted
108 I, 7 |              had they never sinned. But the first angels in that
109 I, 7 |            the fall of evil angels, but by their own virtue. For,
110 I, 7 |      punishment to uphold the rest; but either of these suppositions
111 I, 7 |         than that of fallen angels. But show, if you can, whether
112 I, 8 |         number will not be greater. But if that number were not
113 I, 8 |      restore the diminished number, but also to complete the imperfect
114 I, 8 |    diminished, He would restore it. But if the whole creation took
115 I, 8 |            alone should be made up, but if any fell, the lost part
116 I, 8 |        created all things at once." But if the perfection of the
117 I, 8 |             We are agreed.~Anselm.. But if any one shall ask: "Since
118 I, 8 |  righteousness is accepted of him." But since the Jews despised
119 I, 8 |           Boso. Whence, to be sure, but from the fact that each
120 I, 8 |            to constitute the state? But all are sure that they were
121 I, 8 |           have attained this height but for another's fall.~Boso.
122 I, 8 |             is, a power not to die, but since it was possible for
123 I, 8 |          not been capable of death. But if God determined to bring
124 I, 8 |          destruction of the wicked, but God was waiting to complete
125 I, 8 |             place at the same time. But that God should determine
126 I, 8 |            for this is not fitting. But that God should wish to
127 I, 8 |             in its original number, but must be completed from among
128 I, 8 |        seems very reasonable to me. But what shall we think of that
129 I, 8 |          holy men than evil angels. But remember with what condition
130 I, 8 |             will no longer hold it. But if, with regard to subjects
131 I, 8 |       angels of God" had been used; but if the whole heavenly kingdom
132 I, 8 |             made up from among men. But I do not now see why angels
133 I, 8 |           in this life, will cease. But if by "angels of God" we
134 I, 8 |            of those who persevered. But if any one affirms this,
135 I, 9 |    satisfaction to God for his sin, but only been suffered to go
136 I, 9 |            both think of and utter, but can no more perceive their
137 I, 9 |           to refute your reasoning. But what say you to this: that
138 I, 9 |         what has already been paid? But if we do not make payment,
139 I, 9 |             says in vain: "Pardon"; but he who pays makes supplication,
140 I, 9 |           God owes no man anything, but every creature owes God;
141 I, 9 |          with God as with an equal. But of this it is not now needful
142 I, 0 |        uncontrolled in his kingdom. But this is determined, that
143 I, 0 |         debt which you owe for sin. But you owe God every one of
144 I, 0 |      accomplishment of that object. But you ought to view the gifts
145 I, 0 |            comes not from yourself, but from him whose servant both
146 I, 0 |           injures you yours or his, but you are both the servants
147 I, 0 |           of God, the judge of all. But what do you give to God
148 I, 0 |             I see no way of escape. But, turning to my belief, I
149 I, 0 |          him since he has appeared. But we set aside Christ and
150 I, 1 |             it appears very slight; but when I view it as contrary
151 I, 1 |          that will compare with it; but sometimes we oppose another'
152 I, 1 |            cannot make up his loss; but God is in want of nothing,
153 I, 1 |       cannot answer more correctly, but consider, also, should it
154 I, 1 |      consolation of faith.~Anselm.. But listen.~Boso. Say on.~ ~
155 I, 2 |          while wholly avoiding sin. But this cannot be done, so
156 I, 3 |             might recover His loss. But this cannot be effected
157 I, 3 |         which man was made to fill. But a sinful man can by no means
158 I, 3 |             more just or necessary; but, from all these things,
159 I, 4 |             he is certainly unjust. But if he be not able, wherein
160 I, 4 |             be some excuse for him. But if in this very impotence
161 I, 4 |            work?~Boso. By no means, but will rather increase his
162 I, 4 |         being able to pay.~Anselm.. But no unjust person shall be
163 I, 4 |           that this is so.~Anselm.. But if you choose to say that
164 I, 4 |         ought voluntarily to render but cannot, that is, an equivalent
165 I, 4 |            s will, viz., happiness. But if God gives up what man
166 I, 4 |       cannot repay it, what is this but saying that God gives up
167 I, 4 |             he is unable to obtain? But it is mockery to ascribe
168 I, 4 |             such compassion to God. But if God gives up what he
169 I, 4 |       justice, which allows nothing but punishment as the recompense
170 I, 4 |           mercy than this.~Anselm.. But suppose it were true that
171 I, 4 |           wish it were so.~Anselm.. But while man does not make
172 I, 4 |            can be plainer.~Anselm.. But whether needy or unjust,
173 I, 4 |           multitude of his mercies. But we are speaking of that
174 I, 4 |              if rightly understood. But even if one of the whole
175 I, 4 |            Boso. Surely this is so. But how, then, shall man be
176 I, 4 |            be saved without Christ. But, if they are utterly unable
177 I, 5 |     necessarily be by Christ.~Boso. But what reply will you make
178 I, 5 |          despised.~Boso. Very true; but we ought to show him in
179 I, 5 |        remove doubts from my faith, but to have you show me the
180 I, 5 |              not trusting in myself but in God, and will do what
181 I, 5 |           what I can with his help. But let us separate the things
182 II, 1|          was made rational in vain. But God made it not rational
183 II, 1|            avoided according to it. But it does not befit God to
184 II, 1|           would be the thing loved. But intelligent nature cannot
185 II, 1|          chose, or else it was not. But if it were not made holy
186 II, 1|           not have what it desires. But this is utterly absurd.
187 II, 3|          lived in this world.~Boso. But what shall we say to one
188 II, 3|        shall be perfectly restored, but is not necessary as respects
189 II, 4|           nature what he has begun. But this, as we have already
190 II, 5|      necessity increases it. ~Boso. But if it be so, then God seems
191 II, 5|           own account than on ours? But if it be so, what thanks
192 II, 5|            due him, or none at all. But when he freely places himself
193 II, 5|             not be called necessity but grace, inasmuch as he undertook
194 II, 5|            not with any constraint, but freely. For if that which
195 II, 5|          cheerfully, he is not less but more pleasing to God than
196 II, 5|           up the life of the world, but also his personal liberty,
197 II, 5|             holy life of necessity, but with the same freedom with
198 II, 6|             man is saved. ~Anselm.. But this cannot be effected,
199 II, 6|            be greater than all else but God himself.~Boso. I cannot
200 II, 6|             Anselm.. Therefore none but God can make this satisfaction.~
201 II, 6|             So it appears.~Anselm.. But none but a man ought to
202 II, 6|          appears.~Anselm.. But none but a man ought to do this,
203 II, 6|    satisfaction be made, which none but God can make and none but
204 II, 6|           but God can make and none but man ought to make, it is
205 II, 7|           species of either parent, but has a mixed nature derived
206 II, 8|            he made Adam originally. But, if he makes a new man,
207 II, 8|   propagated among all men, so none but themselves, or one born
208 II, 8|        virgin, we need not discuss, but must affirm, beyond all
209 II, 8|            upon baseless emptiness, but upon solid truth, and tell
210 II, 9|       person only can this be done. But, as respects this personal
211 II, 9|         will be the son of her son. But all these things are incongruous
212 II, 9|           It is not I who lead you, but he of whom we are speaking,
213 II, 0|            we have spoken hitherto, but as of one whom we know and
214 II, 0|          acting, there is no power, but only necessity. For, when
215 II, 0|  unwillingly, this is not my power, but necessity and the power
216 II, 0|             because they could sin, but because it is owing to themselves,
217 II, 0|           can; and to do a thing is but the same as not to prevent
218 II, 0|            is not holy of necessity but freely; for that is improperly
219 II, 0|     maintains not by any necessity, but, as before said, by his
220 II, 0|            be holy not of necessity but voluntarily, and, therefore,
221 II, 0|            praise for his holiness. But now I think the question
222 II, 0|         demand any such thing then, but wholly forbade it, for God
223 II, 1|            essential nature of man, but only as corrupted. Since,
224 II, 1|           makes nor destroys a man; but happiness accrues to him
225 II, 1|          and misery from the other. But since all men die, mortality
226 II, 1|        presents to God, not of debt but freely, ought to be something
227 II, 1|             understand it.~Anselm.. But let us further observe whether
228 II, 1|        death on account of his sin, but also one who can die of
229 II, 1|           which they ought to live? But how could he have given
230 II, 2|          partake of our weaknesses. But all these things are our
231 II, 3|            of our ignorance. ~Boso. But tell me whether, in this
232 II, 3|       omnipotence of God?~Boso. No! but, although this man be immortal
233 II, 3|          man which is only useless, but even a hindrance to the
234 II, 3|            is in no respect useful, but very prejudicial. How can
235 II, 3|            of which be is ignorant. But no one perfectly understands
236 II, 3|       should seem to he as you say; but, in infancy, as it will
237 II, 3|             will be made in wisdom? But God will in wisdom assume
238 II, 3|             for so great an object. But he could not wisely assume
239 II, 3|           for this is never useful, but always injurious, except
240 II, 3|           acting, on account of it. But, in him an evil desire never
241 II, 4|         this, they could not stand, but would fall back into nothing,
242 II, 4|       displayed before me.~Anselm.. But suppose you were told: "
243 II, 4|             world, past and future, but also all others that can
244 II, 4|         with regard to killing him, but even as to the slightest
245 II, 4|       Anselm.. You judge correctly; but tell me why it is that your
246 II, 5|            the person of the Deity. But let me ask you one thing
247 II, 5|        having been ignorantly done, but knowingly; a thing which
248 II, 5|            which man can never have but by man, who must be at the
249 II, 5|            that he does reasonable. But I ask this in order that
250 II, 5|         strengthen me in the faith, but to gratify one already confirmed
251 II, 6|          yet of a sinful substance. But if we cannot comprehend
252 II, 6|             we should be surprised, but with reverence should allow
253 II, 6|           was equally easy for God; but before man was made he had
254 II, 6|          not to be denied existence But after man was made he deserved,
255 II, 6|           to do what no man can do, but only to explain it according
256 II, 6|            escape your importunity; but if I have any power to explain
257 II, 6|            let us thank God for it. But if not, let the things above
258 II, 6|       thosed who lived at that time but also others. For, suppose
259 II, 6|        provinces had rebelled, with but a single exception of those
260 II, 6|            remote in place or time. But that it ought to benefit
261 II, 6|             this as not only proper but also necessary. For if this
262 II, 6|             You understand it well. But no soul, before the death
263 II, 6|           himself.~Anselm.. Not so. But as the mother's purity,
264 II, 7|          Boso. Thus far it is well. But there is yet another matter
265 II, 7|            been born of her at all; but this is an absurdity.~Anselm..
266 II, 7|          his life not of necessity, but of free authority.~Boso.
267 II, 7|            of free authority.~Boso. But those powers were not in
268 II, 7|         would of course be able to; but, if he wished to avoid the
269 II, 7|          God is at all constrained; but that it freely maintains
270 II, 7|             has been clearly shown. But we see, on the other hand,
271 II, 7|       wishes cannot avoid being so, but takes place of necessity.
272 II, 7|           that man to die, he could but die.~Anselm.. Because the
273 II, 7|           nothing by any necessity, but of his own power, and the
274 II, 7|            he died not necessarily, but only of his own power.~Boso.
275 II, 7|            invalidate in the least. But yet this thing which I have
276 II, 7|         avoid death is nothing else but his fixed choice to die.~
277 II, 7|           to die.~Boso. This is so; but whatever be the reason,
278 II, 7|           he could not avoid death, but that it was a necessary
279 II, 7|              not as to learned men, but to me and my fellow inquirers?
280 II, 8| impossibility is under his control. But his choice is subject to
281 II, 8|           done it cannot be undone, but must remain an actual fact;
282 II, 8|  impossibility in the case whatever but the simple will of God,
283 II, 8|             power is not in itself, but in something else; and that
284 II, 8|        pertain to the thing itself, but to something else. Thus
285 II, 8|            be overcome is not power but weakness, and not to be
286 II, 8|            overcome is not weakness but power. Nor do we say that
287 II, 8|            thing pertaining to him, but because it exists in something
288 II, 8|       nonexistence, and vice versa. But when we say with regard
289 II, 8|            coercive or prohibitory, but we mean that there is a
290 II, 8|      choosing to preserve his life, but we refer to the unchangeableness
291 II, 8|            he does it of necessity, but with the same freedom with
292 II, 8|         dying by his own free will; but, because this was destined
293 II, 8|            be because it was to be. But such a necessity as this
294 II, 8|           not compel a thing to be, but only implies a necessity
295 II, 8|              for they must revolve. But when I say that you speak
296 II, 8|           speaking, this is nothing but a subsequent and inoperative
297 II, 8|           makes the heaven revolve; but no necessity obliges you
298 II, 8|     necessity obliges you to speak. But wherever there is an antecedent
299 II, 8|           is also a subsequent one; but not vice versa. For we can
300 II, 8|     necessity, because it revolves; but it is not likewise true
301 II, 8|       because he wished them to be. But no necessity preceded his
302 II, 8|             took his life from him, but he laid it down of himself
303 II, 8|            from a sinful substance; but I would on no account deny
304 II, 8|          human reason cannot grasp. But since this appears adequate,
305 II, 8|          work.~Boso. As you choose; but with this condition that,
306 II, 8|             you owe me, as it were, but which now you avoid discussing.~
307 II, 8|              I will not refuse you; but because of the uncertainty
308 II, 8|             I dare not promise you, but commend it to the will of
309 II, 8|      commend it to the will of God. But say now, what remains to
310 II, 8|           so great that, while none but man must solve the debt,
311 II, 8|           must solve the debt, none but God was able to do it; so
312 II, 8|          was bound to pay the debt, but could not, might be able
313 II, 9|            Boso. It should seem so, but I cannot understand, although
314 II, 9|           surpasses all things else but God himself, and is able
315 II, 9|      account of personal sacrifice? But how could he have done this,
316 II, 9|            for such a reason?~Boso. But surely there was no need
317 II, 9|            Baptist after his coming but before his death, had sufficiently
318 II, 9|         paid a debt he did not owe. But he freely offered to the
319 II, 9|             deserved nothing of him but punishment, gave so precious
320 II, 9|         very nearly meet my wishes; but suffer me to make one inquiry,
321 II, 9|        which you may think foolish, but which, nevertheless, I find
322 II, 9|           gave what he did not owe. But no one will deny that it
323 II, 9|             ought not to be chosen; but we say that what a man esteems
324 II, 9|        bound to celibacy as a debt, but ought to marry if be prefers
325 II, 9|           in the things themselves, but in something else. When,
326 II, 9|           debt not owed by the poor but by the rich. We also say
327 II, 9|        obligation resting upon him, but because all things ought

329 II, 0|            enough already.~Anselm.. But you surely will not think
330 II, 0|            not being able to do it; but neither of these things
331 II, 0|            rightful claim upon him. But anterior to the great offering
332 II, 0|             to receive it.~Anselm.. But if a reward so large and
333 II, 0|             other person?~Boso. No! but I think it would be both
334 II, 0|          doing the thing spoken of, but eternal truth demanded it.
335 II, 0|           holiness to free mankind. But God demanded that man should
336 II, 0|           owed nothing to the devil but punishment, so man must
337 II, 0|      already been conquered by him. But whatever was demanded of
338 II, 2|             could not be reconciled but by the death of the God-man,
339 II, 2|       fallen angels cannot be saved but by the death of a God-angel
340 II, 2|         rise with none to aid them; but this is impossible. But
341 II, 2|             but this is impossible. But otherwise they cannot be
342 II, 2|             sins of men and angels, but because infallible reason
343 II, 3|             it be a reasonable one. But, if the conclusions which
344 II, 3|     attribute it, not to ourselves, but to God, who is blessed forever. -- ~
