 1 Pre|          so much satisfied those who entreated me, as put an
 2 Pre|       denounce me at once as one who boldly seizes upon new ideas,
 3 Pre|        have followed the Greeks, who acknowledge three substances
 4 Pre|        my opinion, too, that one who has first seen this preface
 5 1  |       certain and clear, for all who are willing to see, that
 6 1  |      whatever that being is. But who can doubt this very being,
 7 4  |    inequality of degree. For, he who doubts that the horse is
 8 8  |       had its source in nothing, who can be convinced, and how,
 9 8  |          at all; just as, to one who asks regarding a dumb man,
10 8  |      this interpretation, to one who enquires regarding the supreme
11 8  |       from sickness; that is, he who was poor before, is rich
12 8  |        he was not before; and he who was ill before, is well
13 8  |       nothing"; that is, the man who was before reputed as nothing
14 15 |         be wise. For, though one who is just, but not wise, is
15 15 | apparently a better man than one who is wise, but not just, yet,
16 18 |          be above.~Then, let him who can conceive of a time when
17 19 |   destined to follow it.~But, he who says that nothing existed
18 25 |     older nor younger than a man who is not yet born, nor equal
19 31 |          existence that remains, who would fail to understand
20 33 |  suggested the word by which he, who creates all, expresses himself.
21 33 |         For the Creator himself, who speaks in these words, has
22 33 |         which image is its word.~Who, then, can deny that the
23 34 |     itself is coeternal with him who expresses them, while the
24 43 |         is so impossible that he who begets, and he who is begotten,
25 43 |       that he who begets, and he who is begotten, are the same,
26 43 |          is so necessary that he who begets and he who is begotten
27 43 |        that he who begets and he who is begotten shall be the
28 44 |    eternal Father's eternal Son, who so derives existence from
29 48 |       that remembers the Father, who is memory, just as he is
30 55 |          not at once show to one who contemplates it so evident
31 62 |        words as there are beings who are expressed?~For, if more
32 64 |        it is my opinion that one who is investigating an incomprehensible
33 64 |        necessarily know so many; who shall explain how it knows
34 64 |         and the Son is begotten, who shall tell his generation?~ ~
35 68 |          else so especially.~For who can deny that whatever within
36 69 |          that forever loves him, who is supremely good and omnipotent,
37 70 |      made to appear true that he who is most just and most powerful
38 70 |         by the loving soul. For, who can love justice, truth,
39 75 |          it seems that either he who does not believe what is
40 75 |   striving for that Being, or he who does not strive for that
41 77 |      idle.~Hence, if not only he who has lost his sight is called
42 77 |        called blind, but also he who ought to have sight and
43 78 |          and the Spirit of both, who are three; yet I cannot,
44 79 |      This Essence itself is God, who alone is lord and ruler
45 79 |    properly given. For every one who says that a God exists,
46 79 |       supremely powerful Spirit, who is Lord of all and who rules
47 79 |           who is Lord of all and who rules all? For, as it is
