37 9  |         the evil with evils; yet this, at least, is most wonderful,
38 9  |         is hidden the reason for this kindness.~For, although

41 9  |       just has been able to will this.~O compassion, from what

56 14 |        For how did it understand this, except by seeing light
57 14 |          and sees nothing beyond this which it has seen, except
58 14 |         its own darkness.~Why is this, Lord, why is this? Is the
59 14 |        Why is this, Lord, why is this? Is the eye of the soul

62 16 |                     CHAPTER XVI.~This is the unapproachable light
63 16 |          dwells. ~TRULY, O Lord, this is the unapproachable light

67 21 |                  CHAPTER XXI.~Is this the age of the age, or ages
68 21 |          age or ages of ages.~Is this, then, the age of the age,

70 22 |   blessedness, and many goods of this nature. And yet you are
71 23 |                   CHAPTER XXIII.~This good is equally Father,
72 23 |        Son, and Holy Spirit. And this is a single, necessary Being,
73 23 |    proceed, except that which is this, of which it is born, or
74 23 |          from which it proceeds.~THIS good you are, you, God the
75 23 |        are, you, God the Father; this is your Word, that is, your
76 23 |         other than what you are. This very good is the one love
77 23 |        proceeding from both. For this love is not unequal to you
78 23 |      simplicity, other than what this, from which it proceeds,
79 23 |        what each is, separately, this is all the Trinity at once,
80 23 |     single necessary Being. Now, this is that single, necessary
81 24 |   character and the magnitude of this good. --If the created life
82 25 |        belong to those who enjoy this good. --Joy is multiplied
83 25 |          others.~WHO shall enjoy this good? And what shall belong
