 1 Pre| discordant with the truth, I ask him not to denounce me at once
 2 Pre| maintainer of falsehood; but let him first read diligently Augustine'
 3 10 |          one way, when I signify him by pronouncing these words,
 4 18 |    proved to be above.~Then, let him who can conceive of a time
 5 25 |       not yet born, nor equal to him, nor like him. But I shall
 6 25 |       nor equal to him, nor like him. But I shall be able to
 7 25 |       all these relations toward him, as soon as he shall have
 8 28 |          are not comparable with him. ~IT seems to follow, then,
 9 29 |          and consubstantial with him, since there are not two
10 29 |          whatever was created by him was created through that
11 29 |  intelligit) all things. For, to him, what is expressing anything,
12 29 |        be so consubstantial with him, that they are not two spirits,
13 32 |       would be no word at all in him. If there were no word in
14 32 |         If there were no word in him, he would express nothing
15 32 |   nothing to himself, since, for him, expressing anything is
16 32 |       his Word is eternally with him. Whether, therefore, it
17 32 |    Spirit must be coeternal with him.~ ~
18 33 |         I express by thinking of him.~The rational mind, then,
19 34 |         itself is coeternal with him who expresses them, while
20 34 |      world is not coeternal with him? Perhaps, because be himself
21 34 |        any way, they are ever in him not what they are in themselves,
22 34 |       immutable reason; while in him is the true first being,
23 35 |      word is consubstantial with him, and perfectly like him,
24 35 |          him, and perfectly like him, it necessarily follows
25 35 |         all things that exist in him exist also, and in the same
26 35 |        is very life and truth in him.~But, since knowing is the
27 36 |     knows the objects created by him. ~HENCE, it may be most
28 37 |        it is consubstantial with him, it must be the supreme
29 38 |         Word, but that Word from him, they admit an ineffable
30 38 |     first derives existence from him.~ ~
31 39 |        that the first is born of him. For it is now clearly proved,
32 39 |        not derive existence from him, as do those beings which
33 39 |       which have been created by him; but as Creator from Creator,
34 39 |        so derives existence from him alone, that it is completely
35 39 |        not derive existence from him, as if it were created by
36 39 |         as if it were created by him, doubtless no more fitting
37 39 |         to derive existence from him by birth, the more perfect
38 39 |          resemblance it bears to him, like a child's to its parent,
39 39 |          deriving existence from him.~ ~
40 40 |          be born, and is so like him of whom it is born, why
41 40 |          and is so uniquely like him, that no child ever so completely
42 46 |    Father, and wisdom concerning him, and knowledge and cognition
43 46 |       knowledge and cognition of him, and acquaintance with him;
44 46 |       him, and acquaintance with him; since the Son understands
45 46 |       Father, is wise concerning him, knows and is acquainted
46 46 |     knows and is acquainted with him, there is no departure from
47 46 |        this sense, also, that in him no imperfect imitation shall
48 49 |         can love both itself and him, because it can remember
49 49 |          can remember itself and him, and can conceive of itself
50 49 |        conceive of itself and of him; for idle and almost useless
51 55 |    itself to be the offspring of him from whom it derives existence,
52 55 |         so evident a likeness to him from whom it derives existence,
53 60 |         the Father remembers for him, and the Son conceives or
54 60 |     understands (intelligit) for him.~For, since among these
55 61 |   intelligence are sufficient to him; since he is not memory
56 63 |      already shown to be born of him whose is the Word, so that
57 63 |          is the image and Son of him whose Word it is. And it
58 63 |         sole Word corresponds to him alone, from whom it has
59 64 |     reasoning shall have brought him far enough to recognise
60 69 |         exist that it might love him, he should make not to exist,
61 69 |        so long as it truly loves him; and that what he voluntarily
62 69 |          every nature that loves him. Hence, it is manifest that
63 69 |        nature that forever loves him, who is supremely good and
64 70 |          to the being that loves him perseveringly, to which
65 70 |        neither existed nor loved him, he gave existence that
66 70 |         love the soul that loves him; or else it does not avail
67 70 |         not avail to be loved by him; all of which suppositions
68 70 |        that perseveres in loving him.~But what is this return?
69 79 |      more than one, conceives of him only as of some substance
