 509 I, 8 |          these reasons, I am rather inclined to the belief that there

 513 I, 7 |           command of God, but God's inconceivable wisdom, which happily controls
 514 II, 3|           seem to me reasonable and incontrovertible. And by the solution of

 524 I, 4 |             to do.~Anselm.. Just so inexcusable is man, who has voluntarily

 527 II, 7|          your propositions nor your inferences can I invalidate in the
 528 II, 8|           the whole world, and even infinitely more. It now, therefore,
 529 II, 3|     ignorance, as he does our other infirmities?~Anselm.. Do you doubt the
 530 I, 8 |         enduring any humiliation or infirmity, we do not refer to the
 531 I, 9 |              and allowed the devil, inflamed with envy, to cast him into
 532 I, 7 |      suppose that the devil rightly inflicts it. For the very same thing,
 533 II, 9|             debt is implied, let me inform you that we use the word "

 535 II, 1|            I do not think mortality inheres in the essential nature

 543 I, 0 |         manner exempt from control (inordinatum), which cannot be, for God
 544 I, 5 |           Divine wisdom were not to insist upon things, when wickedness

 546 II, 9|            with gentle patience the insults put upon him, violence and
 547 I, 5 |             nature, which possesses intelligence, is especially bound. And
 548 I, 1 |         also many unlearned persons interest themselves in this inquiry
 549 I, 2 |            true; but we ought so to interpret these things as that they
 550 I, 0 |       explained. ~IT is also a fair interpretation that it was by that same
 551 II, 1|           lays down his life by the intervention of no other person, or another
 552 pre  |        publishing it, I should have introduced and subjoined many things
 553 I, 5 |            have been said, by a new introduction, lest by their unbroken
 554 II, 7|           nor your inferences can I invalidate in the least. But yet this
 555 I, 4 |          your reasons can be at all invalidated.~Anselm.. Nor do I, if rightly
 556 I, 2 |       proper for us when we seek to investigate the reasonableness of our
 557 I, 1 |          seem very difficult in the investigation, it is yet plain to all
 558 I, 1 |           lay open to me. And since investigations, which are carried on by

 566 II, 7|     complete natures are said to be joined somehow, in such a way that
 567 I, 8 |          devil, as our Lord says of Judas, because they are alike
 568 I, 8 |        guilty, would not himself be judged worthy of condemnation?

 570 I, 9 |        inflicted on him, because he kept his obedience perfect.~Boso.
 571 II, 4|             not only with regard to killing him, but even as to the
 572 II, 8|            restraint; and these two kinds of necessity operate variously

 574 I, 2 |          topics requires a separate labor, which, though not very
 575 I, 8 |          number.~Boso. You have not labored in vain.~Anselm.. There

 581 II, 6|             lump from that which is leavened? For, though the conception

 585 II, 1|         between the greater and the lesser good. Otherwise it was made
 586 I, 5 |             what is in any way made liable to injury is not entirely
 587 I, 2 |        grace of God, because if you liberally impart those things which

 589 I, 9 |           the way, therefore did he lift up the head." For it is

 591 I, 5 |             on, until I am weary of listening.~ ~
 592 I, 2 |             should have assumed the littleness and weakness of human nature
 593 I, 8 |       angels, and all who live holy lives are angels of God. Therefore
 594 I, 8 |           because we read: "He, who liveth forever, created all things
 595 I, 8 |           am aware of it, I will no longer hold it. But if, with regard
 596 I, 0 |          you be saved?~Boso. Merely looking at your arguments, I see
 597 I, 3 |             to God, and God was the loser, so in man's victory the
 598 II, 9|             was no need of his ever losing, and paid for sinners what
 599 I, 6 |        angry with me; "for the Lord loveth a cheerful giver;" and no
 600 II, 1|          long as it will be holy in loving and choosing the supreme
 601 I, 8 |      incarnation of God there is no lowering of the Deity; but the nature
 602 I, 8 |           should stoop to things so lowly, that the Almighty should
 603 II, 6|       without sin, as an unleavened lump from that which is leavened?
 604 II, 0|            him to commit the sin of lying? For, when he says to the
 605 I, 8 |         which is the opinion of the majority, because we read: "He, who

 607 I, 8 |           because they are alike in malice; why should not a good man
 608 I, 7 |          justice, but urged on by a malicious impulse. For he did not
 609 I, 5 |       appear to be deficient in his management. And these two things are
 610 II, 6|      provided that no one enter his mansion until this thing be accomplished
 611 II, 9|             as a debt, but ought to marry if be prefers it. And if
 612 I, 8 |         Therefore the confessors or martyrs are so called; for he who
 613 I, 9 |         attended the celebration of mass; when that has been done
 614 I, 4 |            the slave, despising his master's command and warning, throws

 617 I, 1 |      gladdened by understanding and meditating on those things which they

 619 I, 4 |             to the multitude of his mercies. But we are speaking of
 620 I, 7 |     tormented him unjustly. For man merited punishment, and there was
 621 I, 7 |           of punishment was nothing meritorious in the devil; on the other
 622 I, 8 |       witness to the truth, he is a messenger of God, that is, his angel.
 623 I, 3 |          grew on the nourishment of milk and the food of men; and,
 624 I, 1 |            especially to less quick minds, and on that account are
 625 I, 6 |         reason for it.~Anselm.. You mistake me, for we intended to discuss
 626 II, 7|            either parent, but has a mixed nature derived from both),
 627 I, 4 |         unable to obtain? But it is mockery to ascribe such compassion
 628 I, 4 |             it, let them cease from mocking us, and let them hasten
 629 I, 2 |           to be dry, and fire to be moist;" for neither is the case.
 630 I, 4 |           own, as man transfers the money which he has taken from
 631 II, 4|             you have shown to be so monstrous that, were there an infinite
 632 I, 8 |             and those days in which Moses appears to describe a successive
 633 II, 6|          wholly discover so great a mystery in this life, and I do not
 634 II, 9|        offered himself. And, by the names of Father and Son, a wondrous
 635 I, 5 |         them, they are only so much nearer to the opposite part. And
 636 II, 9|              non posse, " and also "necessitas," when the ability, etc.,
 637 I, 2 |             to my mind it appears a neglect if, after we are established
 638 II, 9|            enforced this example by nobly dying for the sake of the
 639 II, 8|             be bound," instead of, "Nobody can bind him." For to be
 640 II, 8|        exist is also prevented from non-existence; and that which is compelled
 641 II, 8|             is under a necessity of nonexistence, and vice versa. But when
 642 II, 7|       Anselm.. If you had carefully noted the remarks made above,

 644 II, 5|            or make yourself a liar; notwithstanding, the recipient of your favor
 645 I, 8 |             for it has not been for nought. Now let us return from
 646 I, 3 |          woman, that he grew on the nourishment of milk and the food of
 647 II, 1|         eternal torments and having noway of escape: "Take my only
 648 I, 8 |       different sides, and there is nowhere found anything to decide,
 649 II, 8|         some other way. And you, by numerous and positive reasons, have
 650 I, 0 |            of this life, and submit obediently to him, freely bestowing
 651 I, 5 |      allotted to him, he is said to obey and honor God; and to this,
 652 II, 8|           revolve; but no necessity obliges you to speak. But wherever
 653 II, 6|             doubt that Adam and Eve obtained part in that forgiveness,
 654 I, 2 |             purpose.~Boso. You have obviated the difficulty which I thought
 655 I, 9 |           is not improperly said to occur by reason of that thing.
 656 I, 8 |         accomplished; and when that occurs, the birth of men, which
 657 II, 4|           more lovely than sins are odious.~Boso. I cannot help seeing
 658 I, 2 |     indulgence with regard to those offences which we commit against
 659 II, 0|           devil, so that he who had offended by sin should atone by holiness.
 660 I, 8 |           confirmed, with all their offspring, so as never more to sin;

 662 I, 1 |             God has seen fit to lay open to me. And since investigations,
 663 II, 3|         knowledge, though he do not openly show it in his intercourse
 664 I, 2 |           of some question that God opens what before lay concealed;
 665 II, 8|        these two kinds of necessity operate variously by turn, so that
 666 I, 8 |     Gentiles.~Boso. I see no way of opposing you.~Anselm.. Whence does

 670 II, 3|             And the God-man himself originates the New Testament and approves
 671 I, 7 |           of sin; for the spirit is out-going and not returning (est enim

 679 I, 1 |         successors, yet I will take pains to disclose to inquirers
 680 I, 2 |         when I see our Lord himself painted in an unseemly figure; so
 681 I, 4 |      consider us, as it were, to be painting upon a cloud. Therefore
 682 I, 4 |      picture may remain. For no one paints in water or in air, because
 683 II, 6|           above, with regard to the palace of the king.~Boso. So we
 684 II, 5|           full extent known, may be pardonable when done in ignorance.
 685 I, 4 |       suppose it were true that God pardons the man who does not pay
 686 II, 7|        entire the species of either parent, but has a mixed nature
 687 II, 0|            him, if they be not also partakers of his reward. Or whom could
 688 II, 6|           mother's purity, which he partakes, was only derived from him,
 689 II, 6|         there always be some person partaking of this promised pardon.
 690 II, 8|    restraining or driving them in a particular way. Whereas we say the
 691 I, 3 |             weak in respect to both parties; and this it is impious
 692 I, 8 |         will be done." In all these passages it would rather appear that
 693 I, 0 |           from sin, and that no man passes this life without sin. Let
 694 I, 3 |           and the food of men; and, passing over many other things which
 695 II, 1|            and destruction into the path of life and eternal happiness,
 696 I, 5 |           would receive it far more patiently. For God could have made
 697 I, 2 |         account justly incurred the penalty of death; so, in his weakness
 698 I, 6 |       appointed such a number as he perceived was most fitting. Wherefore,
 699 I, 5 |            you make to a person who perceives that man cannot be saved
 700 II, 1|        Anselm.. Let us see whether, perchance, this may be to give up
 701 I, 8 |           cause to rejoice over the perdition of another.~Boso. So it
 702 I, 8 |          knew not God, might not be perfected before the superior nature
 703 II, 6|            greatness of the service performed, that whoever, either before
 704 pre  |            undisturbed and adequate period been allowed me for publishing
 705 I, 0 |             or the Father compel or permit it. For the question is,
 706 I, 7 |           controls even wickedness, permitted it. And, in my opinion,
 707 II, 1|             that he lays it down by permitting it to be taken, it makes
 708 II, 8|            she believed. And, if it perplexes you to have me say that

 710 II, 3|         body and in soul; so, if he persevere in wickedness, he sball
 711 II, 8|          this design, viz., that by persevering in his wish he should suffer
 712 II, 9|            life of so illustrious a personage, with such willingness.~
 713 I, 1 |             requested by many, both personally and by letter, that I would

 717 I, 4 |          assign his slave a certain piece of work, and should command
 718 I, 2 |           with you, out of love and pious zeal, I will try to the
 719 I, 0 |          the Son to endure death so piously and for so great an object,
 720 I, 2 |             Man being made holy was placed in paradise, as it were
 721 I, 4 |        unjust.~Boso. Nothing can be plainer.~Anselm.. But whether needy
 722 II, 6|             by the efficacy of this plan, they should again be pardoned,
 723 I, 8 |            may be reasoned that God planned to perfect both at the same
 724 I, 2 |           if your language does not please him. But, to cut you off
 725 I, 0 |           to avoid ease and worldly pleasures such as seduce the mind
 726 II, 2|           as they fell with none to plot their fall, so they must

 728 I, 4 |       himself into the ditch before pointed out, so as to be utterly
 729 I, 9 |         pearl pure, than to have it polluted?~Anselm.. Would not God
 730 I, 1 |          absurd; and many believers ponder it in their hearts; for
 731 II, 9|           addressed to my lord, the Pope Urban.~Boso. Yet briefly
 732 I, 0 |          all these things I pay any portion of my debt to God.~Anselm..
 733 II, 8|            And you, by numerous and positive reasons, have shown that

 735 I, 8 |        restore the number of beings possessing another nature. From which

 741 I, 9 |          from us," and every nation prays the God of its faith to
 742 II, 8|             to be. But no necessity preceded his will. Wherefore if they
 743 II, 9|       definitely by clinging to the precise truth, yet we may say, according
 744 pre  |           book to prefix this brief preface, with the heads of the whole
 745 pre  |           wish to copy this book to prefix this brief preface, with
 746 II, 3|            respect useful, but very prejudicial. How can he perform works,
 747 I, 2 |              Boso. You have already presented so many obligations which
 748 II, 1|           us that the gift which he presents to God, not of debt but
 749 II, 7|          manner, with regard to the preservation of his life, there is the
 750 I, 4 |           that God is merciful, who preserveth man and beast, according
 751 I, 2 |           of our redemption, by the prevenient grace of God, so that, even
 752 II, 7|          disposition, which forever prevents him from wishing this, arises
 753 I, 0 |             to believe anything not previously proved by reason, I wish
 754 II, 6|             be effected, except the price paid to God for the sin
 755 I, 3 |             the heart, praising and proclaiming the ineffable height of
 756 I, 3 |           to our redemption as thus procured.~ ~
 757 II, 8|           plainly that he wished to produce all that he intended with
 758 II, 8|        necessity either coercive or prohibitory, but we mean that there
 759 II, 3|             forever.~Boso. You have promptly satisfied me in these matters.~ ~
 760 II, 8|        through Adam and Eve sin was propagated among all men, so none but
 761 II, 8|           she knew the words of the prophet, who said of him: "He was
 762 II, 4|             life is only amiable in proportion as it is good. And, therefore,
 763 II, 8|            Aristotle treats of ("de propositionibus singularibus et futuris"),
 764 II, 7|            object; for neither your propositions nor your inferences can
 765 I, 0 |            your fellow servant, you proudly assume judgment over him
 766 II, 6|             again be pardoned, only provided that no one enter his mansion
 767 II, 6|          whom all the people of his provinces had rebelled, with but a
 768 II, 3|          and New Testament. For, in proving that God became man by necessity,
 769 pre  |           the theme on which it was published I have called it Cur Deus
 770 pre  |          period been allowed me for publishing it, I should have introduced
 771 I, 5 |            the power of a will that punishes. And if you ask whither
 772 I, 6 |        unable to do it, and that he purchased for us the kingdom of heaven;
 773 I, 6 |           free you from it, without purchasing your redemption by so many

 775 II, 7|             see that his mother was purified by the power of his death,
 776 I, 3 |            from God whatever He had purposed to do for human nature?~
 777 I, 5 |             ought by no means to be questioned, even though the method
 778 I, 1 |              and especially to less quick minds, and on that account
 779 I, 8 |         seems improper, since he so quickly accomplished it in some,
 780 I, 9 |           not suffer man thus to be raised to an equality with holy
 781 I, 8 |         lost angels must have their ranks filled by men, it does not
 782 II, 1|           of the Son: "Take me, and ransom your souls." For these are
 783 II, 9|        himself, what he must at any rate lose before long, since
 784 II, 5|       disclose to me, in their true rationality, those things in Christian
 785 II, 0|           which mortal ken does not reach. It is also plain that God
 786 I, 0 |         grief that you have not yet reached this object, and such fear
 787 I, 2 |             seek to investigate the reasonableness of our faith to propose
 788 I, 8 |            change. Whence it may be reasoned that God planned to perfect
 789 II, 6|         people of his provinces had rebelled, with but a single exception
 790 II, 6|            of being punished, or of receiving God's compassion. For neither
 791 II, 5|          liar; notwithstanding, the recipient of your favor is as much
 792 I, 0 |            past sin, you should not reckon this as the debt which you
 793 II, 1|           had they not been able to recognise all these virtues in himself?~ ~
 794 II, 4|           why it is that your heart recoils from one injury inflicted
 795 I, 4 |       nothing but punishment as the recompense of sin. Therefore, as God
 796 II, 5|           the same time Divine, and reconcile sinners to God by his own
 797 II, 7|             I have mentioned always recurs to my mind: that, if he
 798 I, 6 |             for saying that God has redeemed us by his death, and thus
 799 I, 7 |         enim spiritus vadens et non rediens); and he who sins ought
 800 II, 8|            necessity or weakness in reference to God; for he does nothing
 801 I, 8 |            Be it so; let nothing be referred to the Divine nature, which
 802 II, 7|            in regard to it, the one referring to his disposition, the
 803 II, 8|         exists before his choice or refusal, so neither do they interfere
 804 II, 0|            when they could sin they refused to do so.~Anselm.. What
 805 I, 4 |             Lord of man, though man refuses to acknowledge it of his
 806 I, 9 |         Boso. I am wholly unable to refute your reasoning. But what
 807 I, 6 |        reason of these sins, he now regains. For, in whose power is
 808 II, 8|              if the race of Adam be reinstated by any being not of the
 809 I, 8 |             faith, because the Jews rejected it?~Anselm.. No; for had
 810 II, 2|           because infallible reason rejects the reconciliation of the
 811 I, 2 |         other subjects which are so related to one another that none
 812 I, 0 |        possessions in giving to and releasing others?~Anselm.. When you
 813 I, 5 |           every sin.~Boso. You have relieved my objection.~Anselm.. It
 814 I, 0 |            set aside Christ and his religion as if they did not exist,
 815 II, 5|     sustains that necessity without reluctance, then he certainly deserves
 816 II, 6|          extended even to those far remote in place or time. But that
 817 I, 1 |           does not enough by merely rendering honor again, but must, according
 818 I, 8 |             God should determine to renew the world immediately after
 819 I, 8 |          confirmation to the future renewing of the world seems improper,
 820 I, 8 |           it by men, when he should renovate the material nature of the
 821 II, 2|             who by his holiness may repair the evil occasioned by the
 822 I, 4 |        happiness and every good, he repays from his own inheritance
 823 I, 1 |          this sin?~Boso. I can only repeat what I said before.~Anselm..
 824 I, 9 |          which he begun, or he will repent of having undertaken it;
 825 I, 0 |             God for your sin?~Boso. Repentance, a broken and contrite heart,
 826 I, 1 |        should suppose that a single repentant feeling on my part would
 827 I, 3 |          Objections of infidels and replies of believers.~Boso. Infidels
 828 I, 2 |           Him, with this calumnious reproach still heaped upon God; unless
 829 II, 3|           necessary as respects the reprobate?~Anselm.. We know of nothing
 830 I, 8 |          the nature of the smallest reptile. Wherefore, then, it was
 831 I, 1 |            often and most earnestly requested by many, both personally
 832 I, 2 |           so that, according to the requirements of law, the measure of award
 833 I, 2 |           may both have all that is requisite for the present object,
 834 II, 8|            under his power, and was reserved for this very purpose, what
 835 II, 8|      freedom with which he made the resolution. For we ought not to say
 836 I, 8 |         think of that which is said respecting God: "He has appointed the
 837 II, 9|             there is any obligation resting upon him, but because all

 844 I, 7 |         spirit is out-going and not returning (est enim spiritus vadens
 845 I, 7 |             the part of the man who returns the blow is unjust, because
 846 I, 9 |           there was no other way to reveal to the world the height
 847 II, 6|       should be surprised, but with reverence should allow of a thing
 848 pre  |         work had been completed and revised. I have therefore been obliged
 849 II, 8|             that their hopes may be revived. Take also this view. If
 850 II, 0|             to God.~Anselm.. He who rewards another either gives him
 851 I, 3 |             secured, they would not ridicule our simplicity, but would
 852 II, 0|            to him, could the Father rightfully prevent it, or refuse to
 853 I, 9 |      instance, I propose to cross a river only in a boat, though I
 854 I, 1 |           the honor of which he has robbed God; and this is the satisfaction
 855 I, 1 |          honor which is due to God, robs God of his own and dishonors
 856 II, 0|             founded on an immovable rock.~Anselm.. I think I have
 857 I, 2 |          exhibit so rich a theme in rough and vulgar diction.~Boso.
 858 I, 4 |           very precious, was wholly ruined, and that it was not seemly
 859 II, 5|             it in ignorance did not rush into that transcendental
 860 I, 2 |             anything in reply which sacred authority seems to oppose,
 861 I, 8 |             on the birthdays of the saints we delight with festive
 862 I, 5 |         degree. ~Boso. What you say satisfies me. But there is still another
 863 II, 8|             man, for the purpose of saving men by his death, when he
 864 II, 9|            do this reasonably. If I saw how he could be perfectly
 865 II, 1|              Boso. If not, he would scarcely seem to be omnipotent.~Anselm..
 866 II, 2|          you carefully consider the scheme of human salvation, you
 867 II, 1|             because of injuries, or scorn, or tortures, or even death,
 868 II, 8|      appears adequate, and since in search of other arguments we should
 869 II, 5|     avoiding what is unbecoming, to secure the salvation of man. How,
 870 I, 0 |           worldly pleasures such as seduce the mind from real rest
 871 I, 7 |         punish his servant, who had seduced his fellow-servant to desert
 872 II, 8|             man whose origin we are seeking from a woman without a man?
 873 I, 7 |             and why it was, that he seemed to have had it, and why
 874 I, 4 |         ruined, and that it was not seemly that the purpose which God
 875 I, 5 |             can be saved by Christ, sees fit to declare that there
 876 I, 7 |          man, for the devil had not seized man with violence, but man
 877 II, 8|          another, that it should be selected on this account.~Boso. So
 878 I, 4 |        wishes to make a picture, he selects something substantial to
 879 I, 0 |          broken and contrite heart, self-denial, various bodily sufferings,
 880 II, 7|            lie, that there were two senses of the word power in regard
 881 II, 8|              each demanding its own seperate consideration; let us be
 882 I, 0 |           his, but you are both the servants of one Lord, made by him
 883 I, 5 |             whom the angels did not serve.~ ~
 884 I, 4 |              yet what he takes away serves the purpose of his own honor,
 885 I, 8 |           powerful to bind a man in servitude, after he has yielded to
 886 II, 7|          thus far, you may go on to settle all our childish doubts.~ ~
 887 I, 9 |              Therefore, consider it settled that, without satisfaction,
 888 II, 8|           is every person of either sex descended. And of these
 889 II, 8|           that by the union of both sexes there might be increase,
 890 I, 2 |            God and put the devil to shame, because that man, though
 891 I, 4 |             the truth, so to speak, shine forth more clearly, these
 892 pre  |            have divided it into two short books. The first contains

 895 II, 1|              that he might hate and shun evil, and love and choose
 896 I, 7 |         devil had no justice on his side against man; and why it
 897 I, 8 |           make them favor different sides, and there is nowhere found
 898 I, 9 |             as great a thing as was signified in the death of Christ.
 899 I, 9 |              your will be done;" he signifies by his own will the natural
 900 I, 8 |           God, and put the devil to silence, if he were to attribute
 901 pre  |             about which I have been silent. For it was while suffering
 902 I, 0 |     obedience. For this is real and sincere obedience when a rational
 903 II, 8|             of ("de propositionibus singularibus et futuris"), and which
 904 I, 1 |              unless, indeed I am so situated as to make it necessary
 905 I, 5 |         consider the weakness of my skill, when you enjoin so great
 906 II, 5|       destroy the sins of those who slew him? Or, if it destroys
 907 II, 7|         then, to question you as my slowness and dullness require, so
 908 I, 7 |       should God, the judge of all, snatch man, thus held, out of the
 909 I, 9 |            sin, and destined to the society of angels, and allowed the
 910 I, 9 |            afterwards taking it all soiled by the mire and unwashed,

 915 I, 1 |         what cause or necessity, in sooth, God became man, and by
 916 I, 2 |         wont to be incensed against sorry artists, when I see our
 917 I, 2 |             nevertheless, the thing sought is one and the same. And
 918 II, 1|            Take me, and ransom your souls." For these are the voices
 919 I, 7 |           means of the devil, or of sparing him, what injustice would

 922 I, 7 |             not returning (est enim spiritus vadens et non rediens);

 928 I, 6 |          him a wise man. As to your statement that God has shown in this
 929 I, 8 |            were angels who remained steadfast. Yet, although lost angels

 932 I, 8 |           that the Most High should stoop to things so lowly, that
 933 I, 0 |            Though you bring me into straits, yet I very much wish you
 934 II, 7|         saying is, you stumble at a straw.~Boso. Are you not forgetting
 935 II, 5|        impossible; and this, not to strengthen me in the faith, but to
 936 I, 7 |            avenge himself, yet does strike the person who beat him,

 939 I, 5 |             so as to rest it upon a strong foundation.~Anselm.. Now
 940 I, 2 |             while the devil, though stronger and in heaven, sinned without
 941 I, 9 |            he should allow it to be struck from his hand and cast in
 942 II, 7|           or, as the saying is, you stumble at a straw.~Boso. Are you
 943 pre  |          should have introduced and subjoined many things about which
 944 I, 4 |          For either man renders due submission to God of his own will,
 945 I, 5 |          appears to do this when he submits or opposes his will to the
 946 II, 6|            day accomplished, and to subscribe to the condition there laid
 947 I, 5 |            or action of his becomes subservient, under infinite wisdom,
 948 I, 4 |       picture, he selects something substantial to paint it upon, so that
 949 I, 9 |         empire as many men taken as substitutes for the angels as would
 950 I, 0 |          give encouragement of your success. For you do not deserve

 955 II, 0|           does not need, and of the superfluity of his possessions, than
 956 I, 8 |          perfection, or that it was superfluous, which we should not dare
 957 I, 4 |          merciful God remits to the suppliant his debt, because he cannot
 958 II, 9|             it is said that the Son supplicates the Father on our behalf.~
 959 I, 9 |               but he who pays makes supplication, because prayer is properly
 960 I, 8 |          then men were only made to supply the place of the lost angels;
 961 I, 8 |         think, another reason which supports, in no small degree, the
 962 I, 7 |            must not for a moment be supposed that good angels are upheld
 963 II, 1|             choose the highest good supremely, for its own sake and nothing
 964 II, 6|          effects this, we should be surprised, but with reverence should
 965 I, 7 |        violence, but man had freely surrendered to him. It is true that
 966 II, 1|          any way more truly than by surrendering himself to death for God'
 967 II, 5|             benefiting another, and sustains that necessity without reluctance,
 968 II, 0|       nothing more reasonable, more sweet, more desirable. And I receive
 969 I, 0 |           may take it again; no man taketh it from me, but I lay it
 970 I, 2 |             as you allow any one to talk better if he can, so you

 972 II, 1|           and lead them back by his teaching from the way of death and
 973 I, 5 |         length, these things become tedious to one who wishes to read
 974 II, 3|             shall we say to one who tells us that this is right enough
 975 I, 8 |          with this fault? With what temerity, then, do we say that God
 976 I, 2 |       heaven, sinned without any to tempt him. And when man could
 977 I, 2 |        devil by not yielding to his temptation, and so to vindicate the
 978 I, 3 |             devil, who, being man's tempter, had conquered him in eating
 979 I, 3 |             more exceeding love and tenderness towards us. For did they
 980 I, 4 |           saved at all. And if this terrifies them, let them believe in
 981 II, 3|        reason seem confirmed by the testimony of the truth, then ought
