 101 I, 0 |         were willing, does not seem becoming for such a Father in respect
 102 II, 1|    according to it. But it does not befit God to give such power in
 103 II, 6|           things mentioned above, I beg you will also explain what
 104 pre  |           the entreaty of others, I began the book in England, and
 105 I, 5 |         your reasoning the clearer, begin at the beginning, so as

 109 I, 8 |          whom the Father called his beloved Son in whom he was well
 110 II, 1|           this can neither be found beneath him nor above him.~Boso.
 111 II, 5|          lessens our gratitude to a benefactor, and there is also a necessity
 112 I, 3 |             us in praising the wise beneficence of God. For, as death came
 113 II, 5|      himself under the necessity of benefiting another, and sustains that
 114 II, 6|           time were admitted to the benefits of redemption. For the number
 115 I, 8 |           ancestors, as when on the birthdays of the saints we delight
 116 I, 1 |       oppose another's will without blame in order to preserve his
 117 II, 6|        suppose that he who alone is blameless had so great favor with
 118 II, 8|          from woman also so great a blessing should arise, that their
 119 I, 3 |           to so great and unmerited blessings which we had forfeited;
 120 I, 1 |            feeling on my part would blot out this sin.~Anselm.. You
 121 II, 0|             without reason.~Boso. I blush to have asked the question.
 122 I, 1 |             it, so that in this way Boso may question and Anselm
 123 I, 3 |         they but carefully consider bow fitly in this way human
 124 II, 0|   possessions, than his parents and brethren? What more proper than that,
 125 I, 0 |            sin?~Boso. Repentance, a broken and contrite heart, self-denial,
 126 I, 9 |        David said: "he drank of the brook in the way, therefore did
 127 II, 0|           it.~Boso. And whatever is built on this foundation is founded
 128 I, 2 |        reconciled to Him, with this calumnious reproach still heaped upon
 129 I, 2 |            since it is not right to cancel sin without compensation
 130 pre  |        finished it when an exile in Capra. From the theme on which
 131 I, 7 |          hence, by those who do not carefuIIy inspect the matter, is deemed
 132 I, 9 |             his beautiful and loved casket; will you consider him a
 133 I, 5 |          all those things which the Catholic faith enjoins upon us with
 134 I, 9 |             not to-day attended the celebration of mass; when that has been
 135 I, 8 |           held, I think there is no censure to be given. As to the passage
 136 II, 0|           to get from you the close chain of argument.~Anselm.. There
 137 I, 7 |         just and unjust, for it may chance that one person shall consider
 138 II, 7|           possible for either to be changed into the other, it would
 139 I, 3 |           ridiculing our simplicity charge upon us that we do injustice
 140 I, 6 |               for the Lord loveth a cheerful giver;" and no one shows
 141 II, 9|           ascribed to him upon whom chiefly the injury was inflicted.
 142 II, 7|             go on to settle all our childish doubts.~ ~
 143 I, 5 |            are held together in the circuit of the heavens desire to
 144 I, 9 |       whether God ought, under such circumstances, to raise man to the same
 145 II, 0|           else remits some rightful claim upon him. But anterior to
 146 I, 9 |            to Deity; and the Father claimed it from him.~Boso. There
 147 II, 8|          have shown with sufficient clearness how it was that God took
 148 II, 8|            to pass, yet there is no coercion as far as he is concerned,
 149 II, 7|        third nature sprung from the combination of the two (as from two
 150 I, 0 |         says of the Father: "No man cometh to me except the Father
 151 I, 2 |           no inconsistency in God's commanding us not to take upon ourselves
 152 pre  |           of the whole work, at its commencement; so that, into whosesoever
 153 II, 8|           dare not promise you, but commend it to the will of God. But
 154 II, 0|    abandoned it, they might deserve commendation and reward, which they would
 155 II, 7|          other, nor by an imperfect commingling of both in a third; since
 156 I, 1 |           no one who pays this debt commits sin; but every one who does
 157 I, 1 |            should restrain you from committing the sin.~Boso. Reason seems
 158 I, 7 |            the writing of a sort of compact, should justly demand sin
 159 II, 2|       occasioned by the sins of his companions. And as man must not be
 160 I, 1 |            and of no loss that will compare with it; but sometimes we
 161 II, 8|         time, and not that some one compels you to speak. For the force
 162 II, 6|         substance. But if we cannot comprehend in what manner the wisdom
 163 II, 3|           we are speaking perfectly comprehends what is good, so there can
 164 I, 2 |             be discussed between us comprehensively; since, for this purpose,
 165 II, 5|              God may not do it by a compulsory necessity; and what is the
 166 I, 2 |           to no law.~Boso. I cannot conceive it to be otherwise.~Anselm..
 167 I, 0 |       common.~Anselm.. The question concerns only the incarnation of
 168 I, 2 |       inquiry at rest, it should be concluded that a wiser than I will
 169 II, 3|         reasonable one. But, if the conclusions which we have arrived at
 170 I, 8 |            in any other way than by condemning the just, where is his omnipotence?
 171 I, 4 |          God ought to or could have condescended to those things which we
 172 I, 8 |      althougth the acts of Christ's condescension which we speak of do not
 173 I, 8 |    inconsistent with reason, in our confessing that God desired those things
 174 I, 8 |        angels of God. Therefore the confessors or martyrs are so called;
 175 I, 8 |        persuasion, than holiness to confirm him in liberty when he has
 176 I, 9 |          because prayer is properly connected with the payment; for God
 177 II, 9|             is both God and man, in connection with his human nature, which
 178 II, 4|            see, then, how this life conquers all sins, if it be given
 179 I, 3 |          devil; so that, as by this conquest over man the devil took
 180 II, 7|            death be not a necessary consequence of his being born of the
 181 I, 5 |             not only unfitting, but consequently impossible; so that satisfaction
 182 II, 8|          demanding its own seperate consideration; let us be satisfied with
 183 I, 1 |        proofs gratify them, and are considered sufficient. This they ask,
 184 II, 1|              I say, so great and so consistent with his holiness, as to
 185 I, 8 |     universe is to be understood as consisting, not so much in the number
 186 I, 1 |        despair, were it not for the consolation of faith.~Anselm.. But listen.~
 187 I, 2 |        still nothing could shake my constancy; I desire that you I should

 191 II, 7|             desire of God is at all constrained; but that it freely maintains
 192 I, 8 |           nature was either made to consummate this perfection, or that
 193 I, 8 |            glorious and excellent a consummation, might delight in its Creator
 194 II, 6|           was so unprofitable as to contain no human being who had gained
 195 pre  |          two short books. The first contains the objections of infidels,
 196 I, 6 |             now and forever, in the contemplation of God, was foreseen by

 198 I, 7 |         bound, as it were, to try a contest with the devil in justice,
 199 II, 3|           this, that as man, had he continued in holiness, would have
 200 I, 6 |            by a simple command, you contradict yourselves, for you make
 201 I, 8 |           or are different, without contradicting each other, we may understand
 202 I, 4 |       recover it. And this seems in contradiction to the things which have
 203 I, 0 |            Repentance, a broken and contrite heart, self-denial, various
 204 I, 0 |         love and fear, in heartfelt contrition I give up worldly joy, and
 205 I, 7 | inconceivable wisdom, which happily controls even wickedness, permitted
 206 II, 1|          eternal happiness, when he conversed with men, and when he taught
 207 II, 2|            the fallen angels, he is convinced by reason, for by reason
 208 pre  |         first part of this book was copied without my knowledge, before
 209 pre  |         request all who may wish to copy this book to prefix this
 210 I, 9 |             for the angels as would correspond with the number whose place
 211 I, 2 |           higher authority does not corroborate, though I appear to demonstrate
 212 II, 1|             man. Wherefore, neither corruption nor incorruption belong
 213 II, 1|           unwilling to allow it, he couId not be slain.~Boso. To this
 214 I, 9 |             ready, and therefore he crossed. And we not only use this
 215 I, 9 |            and suppose that I delay crossing because the boat is gone;
 216 II, 5|           it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory." For
 217 pre  |          published I have called it Cur Deus Homo, and have divided
 218 II, 8|         sprung from a woman, so the cure of sin and the source of
 219 I, 6 |              For, say they, in what custody or imprisonment, or under
 220 II, 9|           may say, according to our custom, that the Son freely gave
 221 I, 2 |             not please him. But, to cut you off from all excuses,
 222 I, 8 |            without sinning. For who dares affirm that wickedness is
 223 I, 9 |             this is similar to what David said: "he drank of the brook
 224 II, 3|          future resurrection of the dead is clearly proved. For if
 225 I, 2 |           done, so long as from the deadly effect of the first transgression,
 226 I, 9 |           it to the treasury of his dearest and most valuable possessions.~
 227 I, 8 |            in this way we intend no debasement of the Divine nature, but
 228 II, 8|            he could wish to lie, or deceive, or change his disposition,
 229 II, 2|           for by reason he has been deceived. And I do not say this as
 230 I, 1 |            ought not to.~Boso. This decision is most weighty.~Anselm..
 231 I, 4 |             these things appear not decisive to infidels, and merely
 232 I, 8 |           are so called; for he who declares and bears witness to the
 233 I, 7 |         just judgment of God it was decreed, and, as it were, confirmed
 234 II, 0|          one whom we know and whose deeds we know; who, I say, will
 235 pre  |        Christian faith because they deem it contrary to reason; and
 236 I, 7 |    carefuIIy inspect the matter, is deemed wholly just or wholly unjust.
 237 I, 5 |          and God would appear to be deficient in his management. And these
 238 I, 9 |          pearl which had never been defiled, and which could not be
 239 I, 9 |       restore man, stained with the defilement of sin, unwashed, that is,
 240 II, 9|            we express our idea more definitely by clinging to the precise
 241 II, 1|        mortality is included in the definition of man, as given by philosophers,

 248 I, 4 |         against all doubt, if it be demonstrably proved by one argument as
 249 I, 3 |           nature?~Boso. There is no denying that.~Anselm.. Listen to
 250 II, 0|          therefore, the angel could depart from holiness and yet did
 251 II, 1|          proper that, since man has departed from God as far as possible
 252 I, 9 |        really the case, but that he deported himself as if it were so.
 253 I, 4 |           account of his sin, he is deprived of happiness and every good,
 254 I, 8 |             honor. And this opinion derives support from the fact that,
 255 I, 5 |         sinful substance, and not a descendant of any man, but just as
 256 II, 0|           yet God was in no need of descending from heaven to conquer the
 257 I, 4 |       pictures of the body, must be described.~Anselm.. Does not the reason

 260 I, 5 |            unable to accomplish his designs; far more is it impossible,
 261 II, 0|        reasonable, more sweet, more desirable. And I receive such confidence

 265 I, 3 |            victory the devil may be despoiled, and God recover his right.~
 266 I, 1 |             cannot.~Anselm.. Not to detain you too long; what if it
 267 I, 2 |              Even this ought not to deter you, because, as you allow
 268 II, 8|             Also, if he has a fixed determination to do anything, though his
 269 I, 8 |        number, as he does even now, determining in his own time to create

 278 II, 6|             As, therefore, you have disclosed the reason of those things
 279 I, 8 |        angels?~Anselm.. This is not discordant with the previous opinion,
 280 II, 7|        above, you would easily have discovered in them, I think, the answer
 281 II, 6|           God! we have made a great discovery with regard to our question.
 282 II, 1|            discernment, since man's discretion would be useless unless
 283 I, 2 |           hardly, or not at all, be discussed between us comprehensively;
 284 II, 8|             but which now you avoid discussing.~Anselm.. Inasmuch as I
 285 I, 2 |             Anselm.. This also much disinclines me from your request, not
 286 I, 3 |          upon the human race by the disobedience of man, it was fitting that
 287 I, 6 |           to say the least, how you disparage his wisdom. For, if a man
 288 I, 4 |            pay; God must be said to dispense with one of two things,
 289 II, 4|           infinite number of worlds displayed before me.~Anselm.. But
 290 I, 6 |            it that, for the sake of displaying his love, he does and suffers
 291 I, 9 |      trespass, that, even were I so disposed, I could not doubt it.~ ~
 292 I, 2 |             inconsistency until you disprove it.~Anselm.. Speak on according
 293 II, 1|           die?~Boso. We need hardly dispute with regard to this, since
 294 II, 1|         Anselm.. It ought not to be disputed that rational nature was
 295 II, 3|           to be true, so no one can dissent from anything contained
 296 I, 5 |            if they are at a greater distance from one part of them, they
 297 II, 3|            and no one can make this distinction who does not know what evil
 298 II, 3|   understands good, save he who can distinguish it from evil; and no one
 299 I, 5 |            when wickedness tries to disturb the right appointment, there
 300 I, 5 |           to God's disposal. And he disturbs the order and beauty of

 305 II, 0|         than this, that another can drag or bind me. So we can say
 306 I, 0 |          him this will. And in this drawing or impelling it is not to
 307 I, 0 |            improper to say that God draws or moves him when he gives
 308 I, 6 |     Whatever things, therefore, you dread or hope for, all lie subject

 321 II, 6|           be set right again by the efficacy of this plan, they should

 328 I, 0 |           does not help you or give encouragement of your success. For you
 329 I, 8 |       therefore, we speak of God as enduring any humiliation or infirmity,

 334 II, 8|              Anselm.. Inasmuch as I entertain this desire myself, I will
 335 I, 6 |       omnipotence of God everywhere enthroned? How is it, then, that God
 336 pre  |          known to God, that, at the entreaty of others, I began the book
 337 I, 6 |        suffers the things which you enumerate? For does he not show good
 338 I, 9 |            the devil, inflamed with envy, to cast him into the mire
 339 I, 4 |             but cannot, that is, an equivalent for his sin, a thing which
 340 I, 2 |         rather believe that I am in error with regard to the substance
 341 I, 0 |           because he could not have escaped death had he chosen to;
 342 II, 7|            do so for the purpose of escaping death. And since this disposition,

 345 I, 8 |             from its weakness to an estate exalted above that from
 346 II, 9|          but we say that what a man esteems best before taking action

 349 II, 8|        chooses that truth should be eternally the same, for he himself

 351 II, 6|            those present is plainly evident, because there could not
 352 II, 9|            person, and that this is evidently more fitting in respect
 353 I, 9 |             that God would not have exacted this of him; but I should

 356 I, 8 |           if their number shall far exceed that of those who fell?~
 357 I, 4 |              Boso. This argument is exceedingly weighty, and must be true.~
 358 II, 1|             For what compassion can excel these words of the Father,
 359 II, 9|       wondrous depth of devotion is excited in the hearts of the hearers,

 361 I, 4 |          cannot be happy, nor is he excused by want of power. ~Anselm..
 362 I, 2 |        belongs to Him alone. For to execute vengeance belongs to none
 363 I, 0 |            would remain in a manner exempt from control (inordinatum),
 364 I, 4 |            human conception, cannot exercise this compassion?~Anselm..
 365 I, 7 |       neither can exist without the exertion of Divine power, what cause
 366 I, 2 |            if I should undertake to exhibit so rich a theme in rough
 367 pre  |             and finished it when an exile in Capra. From the theme
 368 I, 1 |          heart what there is in all existing things which would make
 369 I, 3 |            a thing it is and beyond expectation, that he has restored us
 370 II, 4|     accomplished save by a complete expiation of sin, which no sinner
 371 II, 0|        Anselm.. There is no need of explaining how precious was the gift
 372 I, 7 |           seeing that man is justly exposed to the tormenting of the
 373 II, 9|          Triune God. But, though we express our idea more definitely
 374 II, 9|        ought to be effected, I have expressed myself, as far as I think
 375 II, 0|           these same four words, or expressing the same thing differently,
 376 I, 9 |              wishes the light to be extinguished. So the Father desired the
 377 I, 4 |             from which he could not extricate himself; and suppose that
 378 II, 0|             joy with which my heart exults. For it seems to me that
 379 II, 8|      besides, God will seem to have failed of his purpose, both which

 381 II, 0|         praise, I know that I speak falsely. If, on the other hand,
 382 I, 8 |          are wont to rejoice in the fame of our ancestors, as when
 383 II, 8|             not belong to the human family, which descended from Adam,
 384 I, 1 |           has been said by the holy fathers and their successors, yet
 385 I, 3 |         with Deity, that he endured fatigue, hunger, thirst, stripes
 386 I, 8 |             in every nation he that feareth God and worketh righteousness
 387 I, 8 |           cannot suffer; but to the feebleness of the human constitution
 388 I, 1 |             that a single repentant feeling on my part would blot out
 389 I, 5 |           for some men to attain to felicity? For, if it is unfitting

 413 I, 2 |        commands us in every case to forgive those who trespass against

 454 I, 7 |         inconceivable wisdom, which happily controls even wickedness,
 455 II, 0|          cannot sin, it should seem hard to be believed. For to say
