  1 1 |        effects in all other beings, through its omnipotent goodness,
  2 1 |            there is some one thing, through which all goods whatever
  3 1 |          good? Or are they good one through one thing and another through
  4 1 |       through one thing and another through another? To be sure, it
  5 1 |          understood as just, except through the quality of justness,
  6 1 |            are truly good, are good through that same being through
  7 1 |             through that same being through which all goods exist, whatever
  8 1 |          can doubt this very being, through which all goods exist, to
  9 1 |          This must be, then, a good through itself, since ever other
 10 1 |            since ever other good is through it.~It follows, therefore,
 11 1 |            all other goods are good through another being than that
 12 1 |            this being alone is good through itself. Hence, this alone
 13 1 |           good, which is alone good through itself. For it is supreme,
 14 2 |            since all goods are good through a single being, which is
 15 2 |         single being, which is good through itself; so it is necessarily
 16 2 |     supremely great, which is great through itself. But, I do not mean
 17 3 |           There is a certain Nature through which whatever is exists,
 18 3 |            exists, and which exists through itself, and is the highest
 19 3 |            are all good things such through something that is one and
 20 3 |           and all great things such through something that is one and
 21 3 |      whatever is, apparently exists through something that is one and
 22 3 |   everything that is, exists either through something, or through nothing.
 23 3 |        either through something, or through nothing. But nothing exists
 24 3 |         nothing. But nothing exists through nothing. For it is altogether
 25 3 |         then, does not exist except through something. Since this is
 26 3 |            there are more than one, through which all things that are
 27 3 |         referred to some one being, through which they exist, or they
 28 3 |         they exist separately, each through itself, or they exist mutually
 29 3 |              or they exist mutually through one another.~But, if these
 30 3 |          But, if these beings exist through one being, then all things
 31 3 |             all things do not exist through more than one, but rather
 32 3 |           more than one, but rather through that one being through which
 33 3 |       rather through that one being through which these exist.~If, however,
 34 3 |        these exist separately, each through itself, there is, at any
 35 3 |             or property of existing through self (existendi per se),
 36 3 |         they are able to exist each through itself. But, there can be
 37 3 |            in that case, they exist through this very power, which is
 38 3 |            power, which is one, and through which they are able to exist,
 39 3 |             are able to exist, each through itself. More truly, then,
 40 3 |           then, do all things exist through this very being, which is
 41 3 |           being, which is one, than through these, which are more than
 42 3 |         these beings exist mutually through one another, no reason can
 43 3 |          that anything should exist through a being on which it confers
 44 3 |        exist thus mutually, the one through the other. For, though the
 45 3 |             exist mutually, the one through the other, since these relations
 46 3 |         since these relations exist through the subjects to which they
 47 3 |           are more beings than one, through which all things exist,
 48 3 |           things exist, that being, through which all exist, must be
 49 3 |           all things that are exist through this one being, doubtless
 50 3 |     doubtless this one being exists through itself. Whatever things
 51 3 |          there are else then, exist through something other than themselves,
 52 3 |          themselves, and this alone through itself. But whatever exists
 53 3 |         itself. But whatever exists through another is less than that,
 54 3 |          another is less than that, through which all things are, and
 55 3 |              and which alone exists through itself. Therefore, that
 56 3 |        Therefore, that which exists through itself exists in the greatest
 57 3 |             is greatest of all, and through which exists whatever is
 58 4 |          since they cannot be equal through any diverse causes, but
 59 4 |            diverse causes, but only through some cause which is one
 60 4 |           the same, that one cause, through which they are equally so
 61 4 |          essence.~If, however, that through which these natures are
 62 4 |             they are less than that through which they are so great.
 63 4 |              For, whatever is great through something else is less than
 64 4 |    something else is less than that through which it is great. Therefore,
 65 4 |          than they.~But if, neither through what they are nor through
 66 4 |           through what they are nor through anything other than themselves,
 67 4 |             unless it is what it is through itself, and all existing
 68 4 |            beings are what they are through it.~For since, as our reasoning
 69 4 |            since, that which exists through itself, and through which
 70 4 |          exists through itself, and through which all other things exist,
 71 4 |         which is the highest exists through itself, and all others through
 72 4 |      through itself, and all others through it; or, there will be more
 73 4 |     Substance, or Essence, which is through itself good and great, and
 74 4 |          itself good and great, and through itself is what it is; and
 75 4 |           itself is what it is; and through which exists whatever is
 76 5 |          Just as this Nature exists through itself, and other beings
 77 5 |            itself, and other beings through it, so it derives existence
 78 5 |            they do not exist except through it.~But it is clear that
 79 5 |     existence from something exists through the same thing; and what
 80 5 |         same thing; and what exists through something also derives existence
 81 5 |             from matter, and exists through the artificer, may also
 82 5 |           may also be said to exist through matter, and to derive existence
 83 5 |          artificer, since it exists through both, and derives existence
 84 5 |            both, although it exists through matter and from the artificer
 85 5 |             that in which it exists through, and from, the artificer.~
 86 5 |           beings are what they are, through the supreme Nature, and
 87 5 |           and as that Nature exists through itself, but other beings
 88 5 |            itself, but other beings through another than themselves,
 89 6 |        cause, yet it does not exist through nothing, or derive existence
 90 6 |            nothing. --How existence through self, and derived from self,
 91 6 |           to the phrase, "existence through" something, or, to the phrase, "
 92 6 |           all existing beings exist through the supreme Nature, or derive
 93 6 |           from it. For, what exists through itself, and what exists
 94 6 |             itself, and what exists through another, do not admit the
 95 6 |        supreme Nature, which exists through self; then these beings
 96 6 |            these beings which exist through another.~Since it is evident,
 97 6 |           Nature is whatever it is, through itself, and all other beings
 98 6 |           beings are what they are, through it, how does it exist through
 99 6 |       through it, how does it exist through itself? For, what is said
100 6 |          For, what is said to exist through anything apparently exists
101 6 |          anything apparently exists through an efficient agent, or through
102 6 |      through an efficient agent, or through matter, or through some
103 6 |        agent, or through matter, or through some other external aid,
104 6 |         some other external aid, as through some instrument. But, whatever
105 6 |             these three ways exists through another than itself, and
106 6 |           some sort, less than that through which it obtains existence.~
107 6 |            the supreme Nature exist through another, nor is it later
108 6 |             any existence, to exist through nothing, and derive existence
109 6 |            one of the slower minds, through the removal of every obstacle,
110 6 |         moreover, it does not exist through nothing, because it is utterly
111 6 |           is something should exist through nothing. But, if in any
112 6 |            from nothing, it does so through itself, or through another,
113 6 |          does so through itself, or through another, or through nothing.
114 6 |              or through another, or through nothing. But it is evident
115 6 |            wise does anything exist through nothing. If, then, in any
116 6 |          nothing, it does so either through itself or through another.~
117 6 |            either through itself or through another.~But nothing can,
118 6 |           another.~But nothing can, through itself, derive existence
119 6 |             existence from nothing, through something, then that through
120 6 |        through something, then that through which it exists must exist
121 6 |           one, nor is it what it is through itself, but through another.~
122 6 |           it is through itself, but through another.~Again: if this
123 6 |             existence from nothing, through something, that through
124 6 |             through something, that through which it exists was a great
125 6 |          was preceded by any being, through which it derived existence
126 6 |             if it has any existence through nothing, or derives existence
127 6 |            it is, it does not exist through itself, or derive existence
128 6 |     Substance, then, does not exist through any efficient agent, and
129 6 | Nevertheless, it by no means exists through nothing, or derives existence
130 6 |      existence from nothing; since, through itself and from itself,
131 6 |       should be understood to exist through itself, and to derive existence
132 6 |          light lights or is lucent, through and from itself. For, as
133 7 |          way all other beings exist through this Nature and derive existence
134 7 |          class of beings that exist through another, as to how they
135 7 |       another, as to how they exist through the supreme Substance, whether
136 7 |           inquire whether all exist through it, for this reason, namely,
137 7 |     secondarily, and not primarily, through it.~First, then, it seems
138 7 |         class of beings which exist through another derive existence
139 7 |            all beings, which exists through itself, and the universe
140 7 |             beings which exist, not through themselves, but through
141 7 |             through themselves, but through this supreme Being. Hence,
142 7 |            would in some sort exist through itself and so through another
143 7 |         exist through itself and so through another than that through
144 7 |           through another than that through which all things exist.
145 7 |            that is in no wise good, through which the supreme good is
146 7 |         exists whencesoever, except through the supreme Being, the supreme
147 7 |            to change and corruption through the supreme Being itself.
148 7 |            those things which exist through another does not derive
149 7 |             that whatever is exists through the supreme Being, nor can
150 7 |             can anything else exist through this Being, except by its
151 7 |         could create nothing at all through any other instrument or
152 7 |             from nothing, alone and through itself, the world of material
153 8 |            or that all were created through it from nothing; that is,
154 9 |             s thought is concerned, through which, and according to
155 10|             expresses it to himself through a concept? But by the expression
156 10|             the man himself, either through the image of his body, or
157 10|           the image of his body, or through the reason; through the
158 10|              or through the reason; through the image of his body, when
159 10|          imagines his visible form; through the reason, however, when
160 10|              that they may be known through it.~ ~
161 11|       established according to, and through, this same most profound
162 11|           whatever has been created through the former expression is
163 11|       expression is only what it is through that expression, while whatever
164 11|           whatever has been created through the latter would not exist
165 11|            something that it is not through this expression itself.~ ~
166 12|       Substance created, it created through nothing other than itself;
167 12|     whatever.it created, it created through its own most intimate expression,
168 13|             all things were created through the supreme Being, so all
169 13|          supreme Being, so all live through it. ~IT is certain, then,
170 13|           IT is certain, then, that through the supreme Nature whatever
171 13|         afforded by that very Being through whose creative act they
172 13|           all existing beings exist through some one being, hence that
173 13|             that being alone exists through itself, and others through
174 13|          through itself, and others through another than themselves --
175 13|          whatever things live, live through some one being; hence that
176 13|        hence that being alone lives through itself, and others through
177 13|          through itself, and others through another than themselves.~
178 13|        which have been created live through another, and that by which
179 13|             have been created lives through itself, necessarily, just
180 13|             has been created except through the creative, present Being,
181 13|             so nothing lives except through its preserving presence.~ ~
182 14|         existence from it and exist through and in it. ~BUT if this
183 14|           Being which is in all and through all, and from which, and
184 14|            all, and from which, and through which, and in which, all
185 15|             that this Nature exists through no other than itself, whatever
186 16|       everything that is just is so through justness, and so with other
187 16|          itself is not just, except through justness.~It seems, then,
188 16|           if this is so, it is just through another, and not through
189 16|            through another, and not through itself. But this is contrary
190 16|           or whatever it is at all, through itself and not through another.
191 16|              through itself and not through another. So, if it is not
192 16|           if it is not just, except through justness, and cannot be
193 16|          and cannot be just, except through itself, what can be more
194 16|          when it is said to be just through justness, it is the same
195 16|           as saying that it is just through itself. And, when it is
196 16|          when it is said to be just through itself, nothing else is
197 16|     understood than that it is just through justness. Hence, if it is
198 17|      because, whatever it is, it is through these things; and they are
199 17|          they are not what they are through it, and therefore it is
200 17|             refutes and overthrows, through a clear argument.~Since,
201 18|             has this either from or through itself, or from or through
202 18|          through itself, or from or through another, or from or through
203 18|         through another, or from or through nothing.~But it is certain,
204 18|           or from nothing; or exist through another, or through nothing.
205 18|           exist through another, or through nothing. In no wise, therefore,
206 18|     therefore, has it had inception through or from another, or through
207 18|         through or from another, or through or from nothing.~Moreover,
208 18|       cannot have inception from or through itself, although it exists
209 18|         although it exists from and through itself. For it so exists
210 18|           For it so exists from and through itself, that by no means
211 18|       essence which exists from and through itself, and another through
212 18|         through itself, and another through which, and from which, it
213 18|             begins to exist from or through something, is by no means
214 18|         identical with that from or through which it begins to exist.
215 18|       supreme Nature does not begin through or from, itself.~Seeing,
216 18|             has a beginning neither through nor from itself, and neither
217 18|            from itself, and neither through nor from nothing, it assuredly
218 19|           nothing, that Being which through itself brought into existence
219 19|          nothing, should be reduced through nothing to nothing.~For
220 20|              and in all things, and through all; and from the fact that
221 20|           place and time, but that, through its power, it is wherever
222 21|             if its age is prolonged through periods of time, it has
223 21|             not only that it exists through itself, and without beginning
224 25|             grow, or undergo change through divers qualities.~It is
225 26|        between that Being, which is through itself whatever it is, and
226 26|        which is made whatever it is through another, from nothing; so
227 27|            conceived of as mutable, through any differences or accidents,
228 28|     non-existence to existence, not through themselves, but through
229 28|             through themselves, but through another; and, since they
230 28|           unless they are sustained through another being, is it consistent
231 28|            he is himself, he is not through another than himself, that
232 28|          whatever is known to exist through a higher cause, and neither
233 28|       wholly non-existent, because, through that Spirit which alone
234 29|             s expression (locutio), through which all things were created.~
235 29|       Spirit created nothing except through himself, and whatever was
236 29|          created by him was created through that expression, how shall
237 29|           created being was created through that expression; but that
238 29|     expression could not be created through itself. For nothing can
239 29|          For nothing can be created through itself, since every creature
240 29|     creature exists later than that through which it is created, and
241 30|          than one, but is one Word, through which all things were created.~ ~
242 31|           things are expressed, and through which all were created?
243 31|       things that have been created through itself? For, if it is itself
244 31|             yet were made something through, and according to, that
245 31|          excellent by nature which, through its natural essence, is
246 31|             then, that in the Word, through which all things were created,
247 32|      objects that have been created through it, how shall we be sure
248 32|           nothing were ever created through that Being? For, to what
249 33|             object the mind, either through representation of the body
250 33|       representation of the body or through reason, desires to conceive
251 33|             have acquired in memory through my ocular vision and this
252 37|           Spirit created all things through his Word, did not the Word
253 37|          created. For this Essence, through no other than itself, alone
254 39|            a child's to its parent, through deriving existence from
255 44|        conceives of a man's wisdom, through which man is wise, though
256 44|            though he cannot be wise through himself, can we thus understand
257 44|            that the Son is existent through the Father, and the Father
258 44|          the Father, and the Father through the Son, as if the one could
259 44|        could not be existent except through the other, just as a man
260 44|           man cannot be wise except through wisdom.~For, as the supreme
261 44|         supreme Wisdom is ever wise through itself, so the supreme Essence
262 44|         supreme Essence ever exists through itself. But, the perfectly
263 44|             perfect Son exist, each through himself, just as each is
264 44|       himself, just as each is wise through himself.~For the Son is
265 44|          wisdom if he did not exist through himself, and were not wise

271 44|          his own wisdom he is wise; through his own life he lives; so,
