Book, Chapter

  1 pre  |  leaving Christ out of view (as if nothing had ever been known
  2 pre  |       second book, likewise, as if nothing were known of Christ,
  3 I, 2 |       mind it appears a neglect if, after we are established
  4 I, 2 |       the grace of God, because if you liberally impart those
  5 I, 2 |         it may fall out with me if I should undertake to exhibit
  6 I, 2 |    allow any one to talk better if he can, so you preclude
  7 I, 2 |     from writing more elegantly if your language does not please
  8 I, 2 |       this understanding, that, if I shall have said anything
  9 I, 2 |   clearer revelation to me. But if I am in any measure able
 10 I, 2 |        is one and the same. And if you bring up anything in
 11 I, 3 |         Many other things also, if we carefully examine them,
 12 I, 4 |     like so many pictures; but, if they have no solid foundation,
 13 I, 5 |      other being but God.~Boso. If this deliverance were said
 14 I, 5 |       Do you not perceive that, if any other being should rescue
 15 I, 5 |      servant of that being? Now if this be so, he would in
 16 I, 6 |        towards us; they answer: If you say that God, who, as
 17 I, 6 |         make him powerless. Or, if you grant that he could
 18 I, 6 |       but his desire to punish. If, then, be does not desire
 19 I, 6 |       is the kingdom of heaven, if it be not his who created
 20 I, 6 |        whom nothing can oppose. If, then, God were unwilling
 21 I, 6 |      disparage his wisdom. For, if a man without motive should
 22 I, 6 |  otherwise have saved man. For, if he could not have done it
 23 I, 7 |         over sinners; and that, if it were not so, God would
 24 I, 7 |      might well enough be said, if the devil or man belonged
 25 I, 7 |     deserves to beaten himself; if, however, the one who was
 26 I, 7 |       just judgment of God. But if that written decree is brought
 27 I, 7 |        the death of Christ; and if any one thinks that it was
 28 I, 7 |       decree that the devil, as if under the writing of a sort
 29 I, 8 |        Boso. That is very true, if it be granted that God does
 30 I, 8 |     that God does wish anything if it be inconsistent with
 31 I, 8 |      just of all men? What man, if he condemned the innocent
 32 I, 8 |         is mentioned above. For if he could not save sinners
 33 I, 8 |       where is his omnipotence? If, however, he could, but
 34 I, 8 |         another time : "Father, if it be possible, let this
 35 I, 8 |     will ." And again: "Father, if this cup may not pass from
 36 I, 9 |      Ought man to suffer death, if he had never sinned, or
 37 I, 9 |         Boso. It is plain that, if man had not sinned, God
 38 I, 9 |          than by his death. For if a thing do not take place,
 39 I, 9 |       reason of that thing. For if we intend to do a thing,
 40 I, 9 |    which we wish to do is done, if the result is such as we
 41 I, 9 |         done without the other. If, for instance, I propose
 42 I, 9 |   because the boat is gone; but if afterwards I cross, when
 43 I, 9 |          but only after it. For if one delays taking food because
 44 I, 9 |     that he deported himself as if it were so. For he was exalted
 45 I, 9 |     exalted after his death, as if it were really on account
 46 I, 9 |          when he says: "Father, if it be possible, let this
 47 I, 9 |         but as you will ;" and "If this cup may not pass from
 48 I, 9 |         race should be lost; as if he were to say to the Father: "
 49 I, 9 |        the salvation of man, as if the Father had commanded
 50 I, 0 |      will which has been given. If then it cannot be denied
 51 I, 0 |      which he freely drank. And if it is right to say that
 52 I, 0 |      him to be so treated, even if he were willing, does not
 53 I, 0 |       such a Son in his desire, if it be praiseworthy as relates
 54 I, 0 |      man in some other way, and if so, why he wished to do
 55 I, 0 |       For it is a strange thing if God so delights in, or requires,
 56 I, 0 |      reject the smallest reason if it be not opposed by a greater.
 57 I, 0 |      any reason, however small, if not overbalanced by a greater,
 58 I, 1 |        mine to listen.~Anselm.. If man or angel always rendered
 59 I, 2 |     compensation or punishment; if it be not punished, then
 60 I, 2 |     kingdom undischarged.~Boso. If I wish to oppose this, I
 61 I, 2 |     another thing which follows if sin be passed by unpunished,
 62 I, 2 |        our belief.~Anselm.. But if sin is neither paid for
 63 I, 2 |           Injustice, therefore, if it is cancelled by compassion
 64 I, 2 |        must not understand that if God wished anything improper
 65 I, 2 |       because he wished it. For if God wishes to lie, we must
 66 I, 2 |        When, then, it is said: "If God wishes to lie," the
 67 I, 2 |        meaning is simply this: "If the nature of God is such
 68 I, 2 |         two impossible things: "If this be true, then that
 69 I, 2 |      this nor that is true;" as if a man should say: "Supposing
 70 I, 2 |       to speak the whole truth: If God desires a thing, it
 71 I, 2 |      involves no unfitness. For if God chooses that it should
 72 I, 2 |        that it should rain; and if he desires that any man
 73 I, 2 |       he should die. Wherefore, if it be not fitting for God
 74 I, 3 |         denied.~Anselm.. Again, if there is nothing greater
 75 I, 3 |         he wholly preserves it, if he allows himself to be
 76 I, 4 |         how it is an honor. For if the punishment of the sinner
 77 I, 4 |     debt of his own accord, or, if he refuse, God takes it
 78 I, 4 |      happiness by avoiding sin; if, on account of his sin,
 79 I, 5 |         to have you answer. For if, as you make out, God ought
 80 I, 5 |         and majesty of God. For if those things which are held
 81 I, 5 |    still under the heavens; and if they are at a greater distance
 82 I, 5 |        he cannot escape it; for if he wishes to fly from a
 83 I, 5 |         will that punishes. And if you ask whither he goes,
 84 I, 5 |        for sin freely given, or if this be not given, the exaction
 85 I, 5 |       in the same universe. For if Divine wisdom were not to
 86 I, 6 |     beings, which is false; or, if he did know, then he appointed
 87 I, 7 |    equally deserving of praise, if one has never seen the punishment
 88 I, 7 |      been likewise upheld. For, if, without the fall of a part,
 89 I, 7 |        fallen angels. But show, if you can, whether it will
 90 I, 8 |     than evil angels. ~Anselm.. If the angels, before any of
 91 I, 8 |        will not be greater. But if that number were not found
 92 I, 8 |       ask more of you.~Anselm.. If man was created after the
 93 I, 8 |        was not yet perfect, or, if it were also diminished,
 94 I, 8 |        He would restore it. But if the whole creation took
 95 I, 8 |       perfect in number. Since, if it were so, it seems to
 96 I, 8 |       complete number required. If, therefore, all things were
 97 I, 8 |     incomplete number, so that, if no angel fell, the deficiency
 98 I, 8 |    alone should be made up, but if any fell, the lost part
 99 I, 8 |       put the devil to silence, if he were to attribute his
100 I, 8 |      would follow of necessity, if they were created at the
101 I, 8 |        all things at once." But if the perfection of the created
102 I, 8 |        are agreed.~Anselm.. But if any one shall ask: "Since
103 I, 8 |        the substitution of men, if they (the angels) would
104 I, 8 |       where he now is?~Anselm.. If, then, no one had this certainty,
105 I, 8 |        can have this certainty, if their number shall far exceed
106 I, 8 |       of that kingdom.~Anselm.. If, then, there shall be a
107 I, 8 |        Since, then, we see that if there are more men elected
108 I, 8 |        follow which must follow if there are not more men elected;
109 I, 8 |      power was not immortal, as if, indeed, they had not been
110 I, 8 |      been capable of death. But if God determined to bring
111 I, 8 |   nature of the world; or that, if that kingdom were perfect
112 I, 8 |       we look forward; or that, if that confirmation could
113 I, 8 |    regard to our first parents, if they had not sinned as they
114 I, 8 |      with the previous opinion, if it be not certain that the
115 I, 8 |         of those who stood. For if there be more elect than
116 I, 8 |        your inquiry, viz., that if I say anything not upheld
117 I, 8 |         me. For I am sure that, if I say anything which plainly
118 I, 8 |    Scriptures, it is false; and if I am aware of it, I will
119 I, 8 |     will no longer hold it. But if, with regard to subjects
120 I, 8 |       which we now discuss; for if we know not whether there
121 I, 8 |      the soul is not in danger; if, I say, in questions like
122 I, 8 |        angels of God, holy men. If good angels are intended
123 I, 8 |  expressions, it is the same as if only "angels of God" had
124 I, 8 |         God" had been used; but if the whole heavenly kingdom
125 I, 8 |         that is, his angel. And if a wicked man is called a
126 I, 8 |      this life, will cease. But if by "angels of God" we only
127 I, 8 |       those who persevered. But if any one affirms this, he
128 I, 9 |      supposition.~Anselm.. What if he should allow it to be
129 I, 9 |         put away its sins. For, if we pay our debt, why do
130 I, 9 |      has already been paid? But if we do not make payment,
131 I, 0 |         him out of nothing. And if you avenge yourself upon
132 I, 0 |       your transgression?~Boso. If in justice I owe God myself
133 I, 0 |        more, since we read that if the sinner turns from his
134 I, 0 |      Christ and his religion as if they did not exist, when
135 I, 1 |       Show it me then.~Anselm.. If you should find yourself
136 I, 1 |       detain you too long; what if it were necessary either
137 I, 1 |         creation.~Anselm.. What if there were more worlds as
138 I, 2 |    Anselm.. Decide for yourself if it be not contrary to the
139 I, 4 |        want of power. ~Anselm.. If a man is called unjust who
140 I, 4 |         what he owes God.~Boso. If he can pay and yet does
141 I, 4 |        is certainly unjust. But if he be not able, wherein
142 I, 4 |        unjust?~Anselm.. Indeed, if the origin of his inability
143 I, 4 |        some excuse for him. But if in this very impotence lies
144 I, 4 |        this is so.~Anselm.. But if you choose to say that a
145 I, 4 |      will, viz., happiness. But if God gives up what man ought
146 I, 4 |     such compassion to God. But if God gives up what he was
147 I, 4 |       he does not wish to. Now, if he wishes to do what he
148 I, 4 |   cannot, he will be needy, and if he does not wish to, he
149 I, 4 |        will not be happy.~Boso. If God follows the method of
150 I, 4 |       to the extent of sin. And if you think that any objections
151 I, 4 | invalidated.~Anselm.. Nor do I, if rightly understood. But
152 I, 4 |    rightly understood. But even if one of the whole number
153 I, 4 |      secured against all doubt, if it be demonstrably proved
154 I, 4 |       then, shall man be saved, if he neither pays what he
155 I, 4 |      saved without Christ. But, if they are utterly unable
156 I, 4 |         being saved at all. And if this terrifies them, let
157 I, 5 |      saved, or else not at all. If, then, it is false that
158 I, 5 |        attain to felicity? For, if it is unfitting for God
159 I, 5 |       us with regard to Christ, if we hope to be saved; and
160 II, 1|      sake and nothing else; for if the highest good were chosen
161 II, 1|         rational and holy. Now, if it was made holy in order
162 II, 1|         or else it was not. But if it were not made holy for
163 II, 3|     dead is clearly proved. For if man is to be perfectly restored,
164 II, 3|        in body and in soul; so, if he persevere in wickedness,
165 II, 4|   capable of so great good. Now if it be understood that God
166 II, 5|        increases it. ~Boso. But if it be so, then God seems
167 II, 5|       account than on ours? But if it be so, what thanks do
168 II, 5|         salvation to his grace, if he saves us from necessity?~
169 II, 5|     constraint, but freely. For if that which to-day you promise
170 II, 5|        it be necessary for you, if possible, to redeem your
171 II, 5|       for your precious gift as if you had not promised it,
172 II, 5|       it even unwillingly, yet, if he keep his vow cheerfully,
173 II, 5|       more pleasing to God than if he had not vowed. For he
174 II, 6|       seems more just.~Anselm.. If it be necessary, therefore,
175 II, 7|       man only and not God. Or, if they were so commingled
176 II, 7|     these things cannot be, or, if they could be, would avail
177 II, 7|       to our purpose. Moreover, if these two complete natures
178 II, 8|      made Adam originally. But, if he makes a new man, not
179 II, 8|      from man alone. Wherefore, if the race of Adam be reinstated
180 II, 8|       be taken from Adam.~Boso. If we follow reason, as we
181 II, 8|        nobler and purer manner, if produced from man alone,
182 II, 8|     alone, or woman alone, than if springing from the union
183 II, 8|   revived. Take also this view. If it was a virgin which brought
184 II, 8|        all good. And this also. If woman, whom God made from
185 II, 9|       the Holy Spirit.~Anselm.. If one of the other persons
186 II, 9|        of the virgin. Likewise, if the Father become incarnate,
187 II, 0|      praise for their holiness, if it is impossible for them
188 II, 0|       as all other men do. For, if Adam would not have died
189 II, 0|      sin or that he cannot. For if it be said that he cannot
190 II, 0|       the Jews, of his Father: "If I say that I know him not,
191 II, 0|         walk, it is understood, if I choose. For, if the will
192 II, 0|   understood, if I choose. For, if the will be not implied
193 II, 0|       so long as we understand, if he chose to do so. And,
194 II, 0|     with regard to that man, as if nothing were known of him.
195 II, 0|      known of him. I say, then, if he were unable to sin, because,
196 II, 0|       that question for me; for if I say that he deserves no
197 II, 0|      know that I speak falsely. If, on the other hand, I say
198 II, 0|        we say that man was. And if you ask why he did not bring
199 II, 1|        less be really men. For, if mortality was an essential
200 II, 1|   reason, since I know of none, if you do not, by which we
201 II, 1|          Anselm.. He can, then, if he chooses, lay down his
202 II, 1|        and take it again.~Boso. If not, he would scarcely seem
203 II, 1|       is he able to avoid death if he chooses, and also to
204 II, 1|        doubt about it.~Anselm.. If, then, he chooses to allow
205 II, 1|          he could be slain; and if he were unwilling to allow
206 II, 1|          or anything of his, as if God did not have what was
207 II, 1|     been already said.~Anselm.. If we say that he will give
208 II, 1|         with pleasure.~Anselm.. If man sinned with ease, is
209 II, 1|      atone with difficulty? And if he was overcome by the devil
210 II, 1|       should be one who can die if he chooses.~Boso. I think
211 II, 3|        how will men believe him if they find him ignorant?
212 II, 3|     they find him ignorant? And if he be ignorant, what will
213 II, 3|         what will it avail him? If nothing is loved except
214 II, 3|       desire never existed. For if ignorance did no harm in
215 II, 4|      and it were told you that, if you did not kill him, the
216 II, 4|         suppose you were told: "If you do not kill him, all
217 II, 4|     does this good seem to you, if the destruction of it is
218 II, 4|       it is such an evil?~Boso. If its existence is as great
219 II, 4|         life conquers all sins, if it be given for them?~Boso.
220 II, 4|         Boso. Plainly.~Anselm.. If, then, to lay down life
221 II, 5|         ask you one thing more. If it be as great an evil to
222 II, 5|         those who slew him? Or, if it destroys the sin of any
223 II, 6|         a sinful substance. But if we cannot comprehend in
224 II, 6|        things could take effect if he were annihilated. Therefore
225 II, 6|      one that you know of, than if, by saying nothing, you
226 II, 6|    escape your importunity; but if I have any power to explain
227 II, 6|        us thank God for it. But if not, let the things above
228 II, 6|       from all past guilt; and, if they sinned after this pardon,
229 II, 6|        the heavenly state, even if all who were upon the earth
230 II, 6|         but also necessary. For if this is more fit and reasonable
231 II, 7|       view of future death? For if he were not to die, the
232 II, 7|        faith in his death, and, if she were not pure, he could
233 II, 7|       could not be born of her. If, therefore, his death be
234 II, 7|       is an absurdity.~Anselm.. If you had carefully noted
235 II, 7|         preserve his life. For, if he wished to lie, he would
236 II, 7|         course be able to; but, if he wished to avoid the other,
237 II, 7|        of necessity. Wherefore, if God wished that man to die,
238 II, 7|        recurs to my mind: that, if he wished to avoid death,
239 II, 7|      from their sin. Wherefore, if he could avoid death, he
240 II, 7|   unchangeable desire.~Anselm.. If, then, as you say, he could
241 II, 8|         himself is truth. Also, if he has a fixed determination
242 II, 8|      rather weakness than power if he could wish to lie, or
243 II, 8|         to complete it, though, if unwilling to pay his vow,
244 II, 8|         agent in the case. And, if this is so with regard to
245 II, 8|       out as she believed. And, if it perplexes you to have
246 II, 8|   therefore her faith was real. If, then, it be said that it
247 II, 8|         because they were; and, if you wish to know the real
248 II, 8|    preceded his will. Wherefore if they were not save by his
249 II, 9|     bound, to suffer. ~Anselm.. If he allowed himself to be
250 II, 9|       could do this reasonably. If I saw how he could be perfectly
251 II, 9|        he pleased God more than if he had not done it. Nor
252 II, 9|     that he ought to do it; and if he takes the better choice,
253 II, 9|        this he ought to do. And if a man preserves his celibacy
254 II, 9|      and what he is able to do, if you mean that he owes it
255 II, 9|        debt, but ought to marry if be prefers it. And if you
256 II, 9|     marry if be prefers it. And if you are unable to understand
257 II, 0|    Anselm.. Let us now observe, if we can, how the salvation
258 II, 0|        receive it.~Anselm.. But if a reward so large and so
259 II, 0|        it will almost appear as if the Son had done this great
260 II, 0|      vain will men imitate him, if they be not also partakers
261 II, 0|         Anselm.. Certainly not, if he come aright. And the
262 II, 1|   reward greater than all debt, if given with the love which
263 II, 2|        devil to be reconciled. ~IF you carefully consider the
264 II, 2|      the first. And, therefore, if any one thinks that the
265 II, 2|        And I do not say this as if to deny that the virtue
266 II, 3|        in these books.~Anselm.. If we have said anything that
267 II, 3|  willing to make the correction if it be a reasonable one.
268 II, 3|       be a reasonable one. But, if the conclusions which we
