  1 I, 1 |          human, or merely by his will. Not only the learned, but
  2 I, 1 |          their successors, yet I will take pains to disclose to
  3 I, 1 |   account are more gratifying, I will take to argue with me one
  4 I, 2 |         I do not satisfy him, he will rather believe that I am
  5 I, 2 |        have freely received, you will be worthy to receive higher
  6 I, 2 |          Power and Necessity and Will and certain other subjects
  7 I, 2 |        of love and pious zeal, I will try to the best of my ability
  8 I, 2 |    concluded that a wiser than I will be able to do this more
  9 I, 6 |         are all regulated by his will; for the wrath of God is
 10 I, 6 |           all lie subject to his will, whom nothing can oppose.
 11 I, 6 |       have done it by his simple will, observe, to say the least,
 12 I, 8 |          suffer death of his own will. ~Anselm.. The will of God
 13 I, 8 |          own will. ~Anselm.. The will of God ought to be a sufficient
 14 I, 8 |          why he does it. For the will of God is never irrational.~
 15 I, 8 |      thing in question; but many will never allow that God does
 16 I, 8 |          human weakness; but how will it ever be made out a just
 17 I, 8 |         to be slain, against his will, but of his own accord he
 18 I, 8 |          it were not against his will, since he agreed to the
 19 I, 8 |           since he agreed to the will of the Father; yet the Father
 20 I, 8 |          I came not to do my own will, but the will of him that
 21 I, 8 |          do my own will, but the will of him that sent me." And
 22 I, 8 |           nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will ." And
 23 I, 8 |        not as I will, but as you will ." And again: "Father, if
 24 I, 8 |          except I drink it, your will be done." In all these passages
 25 I, 8 |      inclination of his own free will.~ ~
 26 I, 9 |          I came not to do my own will; " and: "he spared not his
 27 I, 9 |         own Son;" and: "not as I will, but as you will ." V~Anselm..
 28 I, 9 |        not as I will, but as you will ." V~Anselm.. It seems to
 29 I, 9 |         Yes.~Anselm.. You surely will not think it proper for
 30 I, 9 |       for man to die against his will.~Boso. It is plain that,
 31 I, 9 |        suffered death of his own will, not yielding up his life
 32 I, 9 |          came not to do mine own will, but the will of him that
 33 I, 9 |        do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me," is
 34 I, 9 |      which he teaches, or a holy will, of himself, but of God.
 35 I, 9 |           came not to do his own will, but that of the Father;
 36 I, 9 |         the Father; for his holy will was not derived from his
 37 I, 9 |        me; nevertheless not as I will, but as you will ;" and "
 38 I, 9 |        not as I will, but as you will ;" and "If this cup may
 39 I, 9 |          except I drink it, your will be done;" he signifies by
 40 I, 9 |          he signifies by his own will the natural desire of safety,
 41 I, 9 |      death. But he speaks of the will of the Father, not because
 42 I, 9 |      desirest my death; let your will, therefore, be done, that
 43 I, 0 |         it was by that same holy will by which the son wished
 44 I, 0 |       For as with regard to that will which led him to a holy
 45 I, 0 |         the Father; so also that will by which he desired to die
 46 I, 0 |         is drawn or moved by his will to that which he invariably
 47 I, 0 |       him when he gives him this will. And in this drawing or
 48 I, 0 |    grateful clinging to the holy will which has been given. If
 49 I, 0 |         death by giving him that will; who does not see that,
 50 I, 0 |        himself for us of his own will, who will deny that it is
 51 I, 0 |          us of his own will, who will deny that it is right to
 52 I, 0 |      Father, of whom he had this will, did not spare him but gave
 53 I, 0 |           also, by following the will received from the Father
 54 I, 0 |          but freely, follows the will received from God. In other
 55 I, 0 |   prevent. Since, therefore, the will of the Son pleased the Father,
 56 I, 0 |        does of his own power and will.~Boso. But this simple fact,
 57 I, 1 |         should be subject to the will of God.~Boso. Nothing is
 58 I, 1 |       justice, or uprightness of will, which makes a being just
 59 I, 1 |    upright in heart, that is, in will; and this is the sole and
 60 I, 1 |          of us. For it is such a will only, when it can be exercised,
 61 I, 1 |   pleasing to God; and when this will cannot be exercised, it
 62 I, 1 |         remains in fault; and it will not suffice merely to restore
 63 I, 2 |        viz., that with God there will be no difference between
 64 I, 2 |       that he is not God. For no will can ever wish to lie, unless
 65 I, 2 |        impaired, nay, unless the will itself be impaired by forsaking
 66 I, 2 |         liberty or compassion or will to let the sinner go unpunished
 67 I, 3 |       think, therefore, that you will not say that God ought to
 68 I, 3 |    follow; otherwise, either God will not be just to himself,
 69 I, 3 |        be just to himself, or he will be weak in respect to both
 70 I, 4 |     submission to God of his own will, by avoiding sin or making
 71 I, 4 |     torments, even against man's will, and thus shows that he
 72 I, 4 |          he repay it against his will. For although God does not
 73 I, 5 |       himself freely under God's will and disposal, and maintains
 74 I, 5 |          to submit to the Divine will and appointment, yet he
 75 I, 5 |          he wishes to fly from a will that commands, he falls
 76 I, 5 |        falls into the power of a will that punishes. And if you
 77 I, 5 |     under the permission of that will; and even this wayward choice
 78 I, 5 |        he submits or opposes his will to the will of God.~Boso.
 79 I, 5 |          opposes his will to the will of God.~Boso. I know of
 80 I, 6 |   foreseen as perfect in number, will remain incomplete. But this
 81 I, 7 |          of our restoration, you will understand the impossibility
 82 I, 7 |         the number of men chosen will not be less than that of
 83 I, 7 |           if you can, whether it will be greater.~ ~
 84 I, 8 |     CHAPTER XVIII.~Whether there will be more holy men than evil
 85 I, 8 |          plain that their number will not be greater. But if that
 86 I, 8 |        up from men, and more men will be chosen than there were
 87 I, 8 |        they were not?~Anselm.. I will state my views.~Boso. I
 88 I, 8 |        fact that each individual will be certain that, had not
 89 I, 8 |      Anselm.. No one, therefore, will have cause to rejoice over
 90 I, 8 |          angels, the incongruity will not follow which must follow
 91 I, 8 |        in number, and that there will be more happy men than doomed
 92 I, 8 |        be renewed, and that this will not take place until the
 93 I, 8 |       after its completion there will be no change. Whence it
 94 I, 8 |         manner, so that what the will effects in the rational
 95 I, 8 |       number, their confirmation will not be long deferred on
 96 I, 8 |       angels, in that case there will be more holy men than evil
 97 I, 8 |       and if I am aware of it, I will no longer hold it. But if,
 98 I, 8 |          be taken, or that there will be a people in this stage
 99 I, 8 |        of elect men, because men will exist and there will be
100 I, 8 |         men will exist and there will be a natural increase among
101 I, 8 |        takes place in this life, will cease. But if by "angels
102 I, 8 |    people, that is, so many men, will be taken as there are holy
103 I, 8 |         of God, or that a people will continue to exist upon earth,
104 I, 8 |     Israel," that is, that there will continue to be a people
105 I, 8 |     translation that as many men will be taken as there were angels
106 I, 8 |         any one affirms this, he will have to find means of invalidating
107 I, 9 |          otherwise they who fell will not be restored, and it
108 I, 9 |          not be restored, and it will follow that God either could
109 I, 9 |       good which he begun, or he will repent of having undertaken
110 I, 9 |       for lost angels; for truth will not suffer man thus to be
111 I, 9 |         Tell your opinion, and I will attend to it as well as
112 I, 9 |      beautiful and loved casket; will you consider him a wise
113 I, 9 |       supplicate in vain that he will do what he cannot do, because
114 I, 9 |         Christ died, I think you will see yourself the answer
115 I, 0 |       Anselm.. Neither, I think, will you doubt this, that satisfaction
116 I, 0 |         done by; and that he who will not bestow what he has ought
117 I, 0 |        for my sin.~Anselm.. What will become of you then? How
118 I, 0 |          become of you then? How will you be saved?~Boso. Merely
119 I, 1 |         one look contrary to the will of God.~Boso. Did I not
120 I, 1 |        should say: "It is not my will that you should look;" ask
121 I, 1 |        that look contrary to the will of God.~Boso. I can find
122 I, 1 |        small a thing against the will of God?~Boso. When I consider
123 I, 1 |       view it as contrary to the will of God, I know of nothing
124 I, 1 |    grievous, and of no loss that will compare with it; but sometimes
125 I, 1 |    sometimes we oppose another's will without blame in order to
126 I, 1 |          ought not to oppose the will of God even to preserve
127 I, 1 |       the look contrary to God's will, what payment you can make
128 I, 1 |          we knowingly oppose the will of God even in the slightest
129 I, 2 |        to be brought over to the will of the devil, contrary to
130 I, 2 |       the devil, contrary to the will and honor of God.~Boso.
131 I, 2 |        nothing which you can add will alarm me more.~Anselm..
132 I, 2 |     Anselm.. Yet listen.~Boso. I will.~ ~
133 I, 3 |        tainted with sin, and God will not choose one of such a
134 I, 4 |     think you that his inability will at all excuse him for not
135 I, 4 |           Boso. By no means, but will rather increase his crime,
136 I, 4 |   punishment, even against man's will, viz., happiness. But if
137 I, 4 |         to do what he cannot, he will be needy, and if he does
138 I, 4 |          he does not wish to, he will be unjust.~Boso. Nothing
139 I, 4 |      whether needy or unjust, he will not be happy.~Boso. This
140 I, 4 |          he does not restore, he will not be happy.~Boso. If God
141 I, 5 |     Christ.~Boso. But what reply will you make to a person who
142 I, 5 |      great a work upon me. Yet I will attempt it, as I have begun,
143 I, 5 |        in myself but in God, and will do what I can with his help.
144 II, 1|         Therefore, as long as it will be holy in loving and choosing
145 II, 1|        for which it was made, it will be miserable; because it
146 II, 1|         be miserable; because it will be impotent despite of its
147 II, 1|          impotent despite of its will, inasmuch as it does not
148 II, 3|             CHAPTER III.~How man will rise with the same body
149 II, 4|              CHAPTER IV.~How God will complete, in respect to
150 II, 4|          can easily see that God will either complete what he
151 II, 4|     character to suppose that he will suffer that rational existence
152 II, 5|   promise of your own accord you will give to-morrow, you do give
153 II, 6|       begun. For I hope that God will assist you.~Anselm.. Now
154 II, 7|         be accomplished. For God will not do it, because he has
155 II, 7|          no debt to pay; and man will not do it, because he cannot.
156 II, 8|      assume human nature. For he will either take it from Adam,
157 II, 8|         it from Adam, or else he will make a new man, as he made
158 II, 8|       Adam's race, then this man will not belong to the human
159 II, 8|        the race to its place, it will certainly stand by that
160 II, 8|         not of the same race, it will not be restored to that
161 II, 8|          not Adam sinned, and so will not be completely restored;
162 II, 8|      restored; and, besides, God will seem to have failed of his
163 II, 8|      these three modes it be, it will be produced from Adam and
164 II, 8|       toil to show that that man will be brought into existence
165 II, 8|          be born of a virgin, we will say nothing. These are sufficient.~
166 II, 9|     persons be incarnated, there will be two sons in the Trinity,
167 II, 9|         who, by the incarnation, will be the son of the virgin;
168 II, 9|         always to be equal there will be an inequality as respects
169 II, 9|          For the one born of God will have a nobler birth than
170 II, 9|          become incarnate, there will be two grandsons in the
171 II, 9|    Father, by assuming humanity, will be the grandson of the parents
172 II, 9|          nothing to do with man, will yet be the grandson of the
173 II, 9|          of the virgin, since he will be the son of her son. But
174 II, 9|     likeness to God by their own will. Wherefore they have sinned,
175 II, 0|       deeds we know; who, I say, will deny that he could have
176 II, 0|            All power follows the will. For, when I say that I
177 II, 0|         if I choose. For, if the will be not implied as acting,
178 II, 0|      necessity, and therefore he will not be holy from free will.
179 II, 0|       will not be holy from free will. What thanks, then, will
180 II, 0|         will. What thanks, then, will he deserve for his holiness?
181 II, 0|           when of their own free will they maintained holiness,
182 II, 0|           likewise, that man who will be also God since every
183 II, 0|    possesses comes from himself, will be holy not of necessity
184 II, 0|     voluntarily, and, therefore, will deserve praise. For, though
185 II, 0|         For, though human nature will have what it has from the
186 II, 0|        the Divine nature, yet it will likewise have it from itself,
187 II, 0|    itself, since the two natures will be united in one person.~
188 II, 0|         to death, inasmuch as he will not be a sinner.~Boso. I
189 II, 1|         regard to this, since he will be really man, and every
190 II, 1|       again, incorruptible, they will no less be really men. For,
191 II, 1|     death, for us to say that he will be in all respects a man.~
192 II, 1|        may not doubt that, as he will be God, he will possess
193 II, 1|      that, as he will be God, he will possess omnipotence.~Boso.
194 II, 1|      appears.~Anselm.. Therefore will he give himself, or something
195 II, 1|       Anselm.. If we say that he will give himself to God by obedience,
196 II, 1|    render himself subject to his will, this will not be giving
197 II, 1|        subject to his will, this will not be giving a thing not
198 II, 1|         for God's honor. For God will not demand this of him as
199 II, 1|        as a debt; for, as no sin will be found, he ought not to
200 II, 1|           Boso. Speak you, and I will listen with pleasure.~Anselm..
201 II, 1|          can die of his own free will, for this will be necessary.~
202 II, 1|          own free will, for this will be necessary.~Anselm.. There
203 II, 2|         things are our miseries. Will he then be miserable?~Anselm..
204 II, 3|       which he ought to have, he will inherit also our ignorance,
205 II, 3|        to his Divine nature, yet will he be mortal in his human
206 II, 3|        his human nature. For why will he not be like them in their
207 II, 3|  humanity with the Divine person will not be effected except in
208 II, 3|      wisdom; and, therefore, God will not take anything belonging
209 II, 3|          highest wisdom? Or, how will men believe him if they
210 II, 3|          if he be ignorant, what will it avail him? If nothing
211 II, 3|           but, in infancy, as it will not be a fit time to discover
212 II, 3|        discover wisdom, so there will be no need, and therefore
213 II, 3|         say that the incarnation will be made in wisdom? But God
214 II, 3|          made in wisdom? But God will in wisdom assume that mortality,
215 II, 3|   injurious, except when an evil will is deterred from acting,
216 II, 3|   essential nature of his being, will be always full of God; and,
217 II, 3|          of God; and, therefore, will never want the power, the
218 II, 4|        made contrary to the just will of God.~Anselm.. Were that
219 II, 4|        all the sins of the world will be heaped upon you."~Boso.
220 II, 4|          all the sins of men, so will also the suffering of death.~ ~
221 II, 5|         we believe that many men will be saved, and a vast many
222 II, 5|        be saved, and a vast many will not be saved.~Anselm.. The
223 II, 6|       mentioned above, I beg you will also explain what I am now
224 II, 6|          wholly without sin; yet will this avail nothing, unless
225 II, 6|          God and man! Who, then, will dare to think that the human
226 II, 6|         to your ability. For you will sooner convince me that
227 II, 6|          become man, no doubt He will not lack the wisdom or the
228 II, 7|        Anselm.. Since, then, the will of God does nothing by any
229 II, 7|        of his own power, and the will of that man was the same
230 II, 7|          man was the same as the will of God, he died not necessarily,
231 II, 8|          whatever but the simple will of God, which chooses that
232 II, 8|         or not to do it, for his will is the sole agent in the
233 II, 8| according to his choice, and his will no force can drive or restrain.
234 II, 8|        He was offered of his own will." Therefore, since her faith
235 II, 8|        his dying by his own free will; but, because this was destined
236 II, 8|  Whatever is to be, of necessity will be. This is that necessity
237 II, 8|        would die of his own free will), that it should be so.
238 II, 8|        no necessity preceded his will. Wherefore if they were
239 II, 8|        they were not save by his will, then, had he not willed
240 II, 8|          by the help of God, you will sometime give this other
241 II, 8|  entertain this desire myself, I will not refuse you; but because
242 II, 8|       you, but commend it to the will of God. But say now, what
243 II, 9|          did not owe. But no one will deny that it was better
244 II, 9|          he had not done it. Nor will any one say that he was
245 II, 0|          Anselm.. But you surely will not think that he deserves
246 II, 0|         or any one else, then it will almost appear as if the
247 II, 0|     holiness? For surely in vain will men imitate him, if they
248 II, 2|          of human salvation, you will perceive the reconciliation
