Let us apply 1070 I, II, 7| them every hindrance and obstruction to vision, according to 1071 II, XI, 4| piety and religion, although obtaining only some small fragments 1072 I, IV, 1| those accidents which are occasioned by any injury or weakness, 1073 II, X, 5| or his sorrow; on which occasions some, finding the excess 1074 I, V, 3| respect to their rule and occupation of darkness, to fall not 1075 II, VII, 4| which happen-how or why they occur-his soul can in no respect be 1076 I, I, 7| sound, the sense of hearing; odours, good or bad, that of smell; 1077 | often 1078 II, VI, 6| run in the odour of his ointments; " and that soul was the 1079 I, II, 10| Omnipotent in God cannot be older than that of Father; for 1080 I, II, 10| this respect, that He is omnipotent-the pure and limpid Wisdom herself-glorified 1081 I, VIII, 1| every one of the little ones that are in the Church, 1082 II, III, 1| purified, have advanced onwards so as to become capable 1083 II, IX, 4| illuminate what is dark, to lay open what is concealed, and to 1084 I, I, 6| through windows or some small openings to admit the light, we can 1085 I, III, 7| known through the Son, and operated by God the Father.

And this also 1095 II, VI, 2| understanding can find no outlet; but, overcome with the 1096 II, XI, 4| pencil to trace out the outlines of the coming picture, and 1097 II, XI, 4| eagerness of their desire they outstrip themselves, do they derive 1098 I, II, 4| He is made a Son, by any outward act, but by His own nature.~ 1099 II, I, 4| without an architect or overseer; while they themselves incur 1100 II, VI, 7| power of the Highest shall overshadow thee." And the apostle says 1101 II, X, 7| mentioned in the Gospels as overtaking unfaithful stewards who, 1102 II, VI, 2| returning from the grave, after overthrowing the empire of death, laden 1103 II, VIII, 1| which are in the waters, oysters and cockles, and all others 1104 II, X, 6| use of some unpleasant and painful drug, sometimes even, if 1105 II, XI, 4| come; as if, when one would paint an image, he were first 1106 I, II, 6| called an image which is painted or sculptured on some material 1107 II, XI, 4| the true colours of the painting; so, in a measure, an outline 1108 Pre, 0, 8| that He had a solid and palpable body.

Pictures of this method of procedure 1140 II, III, 2| We say of a stone or a piece of wood that it is corruptible, 1141 II, III, 7| reached the fixed abode of the pious and the good situated above 1142 II, IV, 2| in those who have learned piously and faithfully thus to think 1143 II, VIII, 2| wishing to teach us more plainly what that is by means of 1144 II, X, 3| God gives a body as it pleases Him," as soon as the grain 1145 II, IV, 2| law, and His promises, are pleasing to him.~ 1146 II, VI, 7| truth of things. And the pledge of this truth being already 1147 II, IV, 2| he that plougheth should plough in hope, and he that thresheth 1148 II, IV, 2| is written, that he that plougheth should plough in hope, and 1149 II, III, 6| behind it," speaking in the plural number of the worlds which 1150 II, X, 4| together from different poisons, proving the causes either 1151 I, I, 6| additions, but carefully polished by learned exercises.

I have looked, 1160 II, V, 4| by the language of its precepts. For if the law be found 1161 I, II, 6| however, we shall see more precisely, God willing, when we come 1162 II, II, 1| determined with greater precision, we have, in the first place, 1163 I, VI, 1| or if his mind be full of preconceptions and prejudices on other 1164 II, IX, 1| to some definite number, predetermined by Himself: for it is not 1165 II, IV, 1| from Him, uttered these predictions. The practice, moreover, 1166 I, II, 2| described, as it were, and prefigured in Wisdom herself, does 1167 I, VI, 1| reason as to the dogmatism of prejudice. These subjects, indeed, 1168 I, VI, 1| full of preconceptions and prejudices on other points, he may 1169 II, XI, 4| be afterwards added, this preliminary sketch in outline is found 1170 II, II, 2| rightly be considered a prerogative of the Trinity alone.

And this splendour, presenting itself gently and softly 1172 II, IX, 6| opinion, why that world presents the aspect of diversity, 1173 II, III, 1| will be any (system of) preservation and amendment, severe indeed, 1174 II, IX, 8| inequality of circumstances preserves the justice of a retribution 1175 II, IX, 2| and a dislike of labour in preserving what is good, and an aversion 1176 II, IV, 3| Father." This certainly would press us very hard, were the expression 1177 Pre, 0, 8| can offer resistance to pressure.~ 1178 I, VIII, 2| impious fables of such as pretend that there is a diversity 1179 I, VIII, 4| they generally quote some pretended statements of Scripture, 1180 II, III, 6| the clothing of the high priest, as we find in the Wisdom 1181 II, XI, 5| Levites, and of the different priestly orders, the type of which 1182 II, XI, 5| understand the reason of the priests and Levites, and of the 1183 II, IX, 3| to be regarded not as of primary, but of subordinate rank.~ 1184 II, I, 1| those who fell from that primeval unity and harmony in which 1185 II, X, 1| of sense; and these are principally heretics, who, I think, 1186 I, VIII, 4| the First Book of the de Principiis.~Translated by Jerome in 1187 I, I, 6| found to exist elements prior to the beginning itself, 1188 I, I, 4| worshipped, according to the privileges of the different localities, 1189 II, III, 6| which seems to me more probable), is nevertheless uncertain, 1190 I, II, 9| beginning, when that breath proceeded from the power of God, we 1191 II, XI, 3| but by every word which proceedeth from the mouth of God." 1192 I, I, 7| bodily nature investigate the processes of the various arts, and 1193 II, X, 5| life, have been unable to procure any amelioration for themselves, 1194 Pre, 0, 5| if its actions shall have procured this for it, or to be delivered 1195 II, IX, 6| in Himself no reason for producing variety and diversity.

From which it 1200 II, X, 6| fury of God's vengeance is profitable for the purgation of souls. 1201 II, X, 8| plunged in the darkness of profound ignorance, have been placed 1202 I, III, 4| speaking of the divine and profounder parts of His teaching, which 1203 I, III, 4| Holy Spirit, it was not by progressive advancement that He came 1204 II, XI, 2| who now hunger and thirst, promising them that they shall be 1205 II, XI, 1| which may seem certainly to promote the public advantage. And 1206 I, V, 2| not easy for any one to pronounce. After the principalities, 1207 I, I, 8| with unvarying constancy pronounces on the nature of God in 1208 I, II, 10| declaration of Scripture pronouncing, "In wisdom hast Thou made 1209 I, III, 7| Adam also is found to have prophesied of some things, it may be 1210 II, V, 3| whether they believe the prophetic words to be those of the 1211 I, VI, 4| Isaiah also, in declaring prophetically that there will be a new 1212 II, VI, 3| obtained a part of Him exactly proportioned to the amount of affection 1213 I, II, 8| behold the one of enormous proportions, should, on seeing the latter, 1214 II, IX, 1| return to the order of our proposed discussion, and behold the 1215 II, IV, 1| understanding, that He is proposing to the imitation of His 1216 II, V, 3| measures which, with the prospect of improvement, seem nevertheless, 1217 I, VIII, 4| a woman has unnaturally prostituted herself, shall be deemed 1218 II, IX, 4| language can explain, unless as prostrate suppliants we pray to the 1219 I, I, 6| as those who on land are prostrated with fever; with respect 1220 II, V, 2| the Son of the good God, protests in the Gospels, and declares 1221 II, III, 2| training of ours in the body is protracted doubtless to a longer period, 1222 II, XI, 1| one who studies to care or provide for the general good, then, 1223 II, I, 4| s creative power or His providential administration of the world, 1224 II, IX, 7| grace of His compassion He provides for all men, and encourages 1225 II, IX, 8| down to the humblest, God providing for and distinguishing by 1226 I, V, 4| within the boundaries of the province of Phoenicia, or some other 1227 II, X, 4| as abundance of food, and provisions of a contrary kind and amount, 1228 II, III, 1| of intellectual natures provoked God to produce this diverse 1229 II, XI, 1| certainly to promote the public advantage. And if now any 1230 I, I, 2| i.e., when the law was publicly read aloud. But if we turn 1231 II, V, 2| that the Creator is just in punishing according to their deserts, 1232 II, XI, 5| for all the sacrifices and purifications. He will perceive also the 1233 II, X, 6| Lord sitting will blow, and purify, and will pour forth the 1234 I, I, 7| understood as if created purposely and designedly for perceiving 1235 I, VIII, 3| our life; and if we always pursue the study of it, we may 1236 I, VI, 1| Him." What, then, is this "putting under" by which all things 1237 I, II, 10| or wisdom are accidental qualifies, and because that which 1238 II, I, 4| exist; and we mention four qualities-heat, cold, dryness, humidity. 1239 I, VII, 3| the moon is called the queen of heaven. Yet if the stars 1240 I, VIII, 2| so grave a sin as, when questioned by the maid-servant, to 1241 I, I, 3| understand that all who with quick and trained minds come to 1242 II, V, 3| death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit, by which 1243 I, III, 8| place, and the individual quickly repent and return to himself, 1244 II, V, 2| Sodom, or those who had quitted Egypt, seeing we sometimes 1245 I, VIII, 3| as we are taught by those quotations which we adduced from the 1246 II, IV, 1| His apostles, frequently quoting illustrations from the Old 1247 II, V, 2| not clothed with wedding raiment, and said. to him, "Friend, 1248 II, V, 3| who is related to have rained upon them a shower of fire 1249 II, III, 3| out of the body, may here raise such questions as the following. 1250 II, X, 3| the substance of the body, raises them from the earth, and 1251 I, VIII, 1| particular angel: as to Raphael, e.g., the work of curing 1252 I, VIII, 4| habits, others fly with rapid flight on account of their 1253 I, VI, 2| slothfulness, made, one more rapidly, another more slowly, one 1254 II, VI, 2| and this from no spirit of rashness, but as called for by the 1255 II, I, 1| mat we should specially re-discuss a few points respecting 1256 II, IX, 3| undergoing such misfortune on reaching manhood. And why should 1257 I, VI, 1| imbued with a desire of reading and understanding subjects 1258 I, VII, 1| illuminating them, and are not in reality chief of that order of principalities.~ 1259 I, VIII, 2| for while it seems, and is really, absurd that to one and 1260 II, IX, 5| another, too, of Isaac and Rebekah, and who, while still in 1261 II, XI, 2| city of Jerusalem is to be rebuilt, its foundations laid in 1262 I, VI, 2| of the Holy Spirit, are recalled to one end, which is like 1263 II, I, 2| common advantage of all, recalls those very creatures which 1264 | recent 1265 II, V, 1| conferred on all, although the recipient of them be unworthy and 1266 II, V, 2| enters in to see the guests reclining at the banquet, he beheld 1267 I, III, 1| things, is unbegotten, and recognise Him as the parent of the 1268 II, IX, 8| individual case are only recognised truly and clearly by God 1269 II, V, 4| the word unquestionably recognises its Creator, the Lord Himself 1270 II, V, 3| through hatred of evil, recompense the wicked with evil, and 1271 I, III, 7| their way before God, it is recorded that God spoke thus, as 1272 II, X, 1| when sown into the earth, recovers the qualities of a spiritual 1273 II, IV, 1| the expression of frequent recurrence in the Gospels, and subjoined 1274 II, VIII, 1| animals by the power of red blood is exerted in them 1275 I, VII, 4| filled with the Holy Ghost? I refer to John leaping in his mother' 1276 II, III, 2| with remarkable insight, referring to the general first cause 1277 I, II, 12| formed in a mirror unerringly reflects all the acts and movements 1278 II, X, 6| saying, That if any one refuse to drink, he shall not be 1279 Pre, 0, 1| when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of 1280 II, XI, 2| Certain persons, then, refusing the labour of thinking, 1281 I, VIII, 4| refute and reject. After the refutation and rejection of such perverse 1282 II, IV, 4| furnished with grounds for refuting us, who maintain that God 1283 I, VII, 4| called heavenly. For, as regards man, how could the soul 1284 I, III, 5| the reason why he who is regenerated by God unto salvation has 1285 II, IX, 8| impurity, received a place, or region, or condition by birth, 1286 II, IX, 3| which are called the lower regions, or all places whatever 1287 I, VI, 3| arranged, according to a regular plan, in the order and degree 1288 I, VII, 3| move with such order and regularity, that their movements never 1289 II, IX, 6| Providence continues to regulate each individual according 1290 II, IX, 5| things must be supposed to be regulated by accident and chance? 1291 II, X, 6| blindness, and weakness of the reins. If any one, then, at his 1292 I, VIII, 4| our belief, we refute and reject. After the refutation and 1293 I, VIII, 4| After the refutation and rejection of such perverse opinions, 1294 I, III, 7| Holy Spirit, and who has relapsed, is, by this very act and 1295 I, III, 4| significations of these words relate to time, and those subjects 1296 II, IV, 3| Spirit, in their mutual relations with one another. For the 1297 I, VII, 3| understand that they are to be released from their bodies; and whether, 1298 II, IX, 4| to us when we knock. Not relying, then, on our own powers, 1299 I, II, 11| shall add only the following remark. That is properly termed 1300 II, III, 2| apostle therefore, with remarkable insight, referring to the 1301 I, III, 4| bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said 1302 II, X, 1| since the discourse has reminded us of the subjects of a 1303 I, VI, 1| completion of things. And this reminds us here, that if there be 1304 I, II, 6| greatest folly, it being most remote from any intelligent conception 1305 I, II, 6| since even to entertain the remotest suspicion of such a thing 1306 I, VI, 2| aid of these, and being remoulded by salutary principles and 1307 II, IX, 2| disappear. And a reason for removal will consist in the movements 1308 II, X, 5| when this dissolution and rending asunder of soul shall have 1309 I, III, 7| be created, and Thou wilt renew the face of the earth; " 1310 I, III, 7| Himself a new people, and renews the face of the earth, when, 1311 II, X, 7| to his human nature-being rent away from the divine part, 1312 I, IV, 1| speedily to his senses, repair those losses which up to 1313 II, VIII, 3| named soul; and that, if repaired and corrected, it returns 1314 II, IX, 3| manhood. And why should I repeat and enumerate all the horrors 1315 II, III, 4| life will be said to be repeated,-a state of things which 1316 I, I, 9| and new, the term "heart" repeatedly used instead of "mind," 1317 II, VI, 7| unavoidably performs and repeats its movements and gestures, 1318 I, VIII, 4| are judged fit by God to replenish the human race, i.e., the 1319 II, IV, 2| commandment in the law, replied, "Thou shalt love the Lord 1320 II, V, 3| shall have the appearance of replying either to senseless words, 1321 II, XI, 3| however, who receive the representations of Scripture according to 1322 II, VI, 7| O Lord, with which they reproached me in exchange for Thy Christ," 1323 II, III, 6| Isaiah, where the language of reproof is directed to the chief 1324 I, VIII, 4| answering with human voice, reproved the madness of the prophet. 1325 I, III, 1| assertion to those who have a reputation as philosophers among Greeks 1326 II, V, 2| in the first place, be required to show, if they can, agreeably 1327 II, VII, 1| which, according to the requirements of the case, we held at 1328 I, V, 4| not seem to be a matter requiting examination in this place; 1329 Pre, 0, 8| whatever it is, does not resemble this gross and visible body 1330 I, II, 12| manner in which a disciple resembles or imitates his master, 1331 I, II, 13| goodness is to be understood as residing in God the Father, from 1332 II, III, 2| made, so it may again be resolved into non-existence, let 1333 I, VIII, 4| spirits have obtained their respective offices; but that they have 1334 II, X, 1| will be no absurdity in restating a few points from such works, 1335 II, VI, 6| must be believed to have rested, from which some warmth 1336 II, III, 5| will be the case at the restitution of all things, when the 1337 II, IX, 1| things could neither be restrained nor administered by God. 1338 I, II, 9| strong; by which He appoints, restrains, and governs all things 1339 II, VI, 1| notice of these points, to resume our investigation of the 1340 II, VIII, 4| that certain understandings retain something even of their 1341 I, II, 13| the Holy Spirit proceeds, retaining within them, without any 1342 I, I, 6| diversity of situation, be retarded in the discharge of its 1343 II, III, 4| either their advance or retrogression according to the power of 1344 II, VI, 2| of a man; it beholds Him returning from the grave, after overthrowing 1345 I, III, 4| when He declares, "God hath revealed them to us by His Holy Spirit; 1346 I, II, 6| reveal Him. And the method of revealing Him is through the understanding. 1347 I, II, 2| capable of entertaining reverential thoughts or feelings regarding 1348 Pre, 0, 5| departure from the world, be rewarded according to its deserts, 1349 I, II, 12| stainless mirror of the e0ne/rgeia or working of God. We must 1350 I, V, 2| called his angels. Now the rifles of these beings have to 1351 I, II, 10| certain increase, and to have risen from a lower to a higher 1352 II, X, 3| that even the body which rises again of those who are to 1353 I, VIII, 4| members on the earth, and, rising above not only their corporeal 1354 II, III, 7| therefore, does a sort of road seem to be opened up by 1355 II, IV, 2| preface of his Epistle to the Romans clearly show the same thing 1356 II, VI, 2| shameful among men, although He rose again on the third day. 1357 I, I, 7| cold, hardness or softness, roughness or smoothness, that of touch. 1358 I, II, 1| made any other thing; He rounded me before the ages. In the 1359 II, VIII, 3| the passage, "An evil soul ruins him who possesses it; " 1360 I, II, 9| all those things which He rules over in His providence; 1361 II, VI, 6| For they are said to have "run in the odour of his ointments; " 1362 II, VII, 2| literally, nor the rest of the Sabbath, nor the pouring out of 1363 II, VIII, 1| passage, "Your new moons, and sabbaths, and great days, I will 1364 II, XI, 5| holy days, and for all the sacrifices and purifications.

Thou indeed saidst in thy heart, I shall ascend 1370 I, VIII, 3| man admits of his being a sailor, but it does not follow 1371 I, V, 4| language is used of some man or saint, not to say the prince off 1372 I, VI, 2| and being remoulded by salutary principles and discipline, 1373 I, VII, 4| because the voice of the salutation of Mary had come to the 1374 I, I, 4| Jews in Jerusalem or by the Samaritans on Mount Gerizim, the Saviour 1375 I, III, 7| the Spirit of His mouth sanctifies all things which are worthy 1376 II, X, 6| he says, "The Lord will sanctify in a burning fire" and in 1377 I, I, 3| but He is manifestly a sanctifying power, in which all are 1378 II, IX, 5| whom parricide is an act sanctioned by law; or amongst the people 1379 II, XI, 4| to have an opportunity of satisfaction. Whence also, even in this 1380 II, V, 3| baptism by a like figure now saves you." And with regard to 1381 I, III, 2| authority and dignity, that saving baptism was not complete 1382 I, I, 7| good or bad, that of smell; savours, that of taste; heat or 1383 I, I, 5| all this light which he saw? So our understanding, when 1384 II, X, 3| or even the lowest in the scale, and altogether thrust aside, 1385 II, IX, 5| those who, coming from the school of Marcion, and Valentinus, 1386 II, IX, 5| faculty of free-will has no scope (for no one chooses for 1387 I, II, 6| image which is painted or sculptured on some material substance, 1388 II, IX, 5| human flesh; or amongst the Scythians, with whom parricide is 1389 I, III, 4| Holy Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the deep 1390 II, V, 3| them learn, therefore, by searching the holy Scriptures, what 1391 II, VII, 3| stricter observance they may seduce the souls of the innocent." ~ 1392 II, V, 4| for Him, to the soul that seeketh Him." As therefore God is 1393 II, XI, 4| and as the eye naturally seeks the light and vision, and 1394 I, III, 8| blessedness should ever seize us; but the more we perceive 1395 I, III, 7| worketh that one and the self-same Spirit, dividing to every 1396 Pre, 0, 5| considered as placed in the seminal particles of the body themselves, 1397 II, IV, 1| the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on 1398 II, V, 3| appearance of replying either to senseless words, or to men out of 1399 II, VIII, 1| although not so appropriately, sensibilis et mobilis. This certainly 1400 II, VI, 5| destroyed all susceptibility (sensum) for alteration and change; 1401 II, IX, 8| the unjust, and all by the sentence of God will be distributed 1402 II, VII, 4| explained as we were able what sentiments ought to be entertained 1403 II, V, 4| the language of those who separate justice from goodness, but 1404 I, III, 4| used to say that those two seraphim in Isaiah, which are described 1405 Pre, 0, 10| desire to form a connected series and body of truths agreeably 1406 II, II, 1| when the purposes which it served had no longer an existence.~ 1407 I, VII, 5| affection for those whom it serves, groans along with them, 1408 I, VII, 5| not undertake a voluntary service to vanity, but because it 1409 II, VIII, 4| must carefully consider and settle for himself, as these views 1410 | several 1411 II, VI, 7| whether the truth of all these shadows may not come to be known 1412 Pre, 0, 5| we should endeavour to shake ourselves free of a burden 1413 II, III, 7| all corruption has been shaken off and cleansed away, and 1414 I, III, 6| participation in God the Father is shared both by just men and sinners, 1415 I, I, 6| life; but the intellect is sharpened by exercises of learning, 1416 II, IV, 1| the temple those who sold sheep, and oxen, and doves, and 1417 II, I, 5| exist." In the book of the Shepherd also, in the first commandment, 1418 II, V, 4| in a special manner as a shield, viz., "There is none good 1419 II, II, 2| more blessed beings, it shines in the splendour of celestial 1420 I, V, 5| words, "For as the lightning shineth from the height of heaven 1421 II, X, 6| physicians apply remedies to the sick, in order that by careful 1422 II, VII, 3| understand their feeble and sickly condition, and flee to His 1423 II, III, 6| words which are on the other side of it, which are governed 1424 II, V, 2| had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented 1425 II, VIII, 3| soul. But from the very signification of the name soul which the 1426 II, VII, 4| Greek, Paraclete has both significations-that of intercessor and comforter. 1427 II, III, 6| Greek ko/smoj, and ko/smoj signifies not only a world, but also 1428 I, I, 6| or operations, lest the simplicity of the divine nature should 1429 II, VIII, 4| in a dogmatic manner, but simply as opinions, treated in 1430 II, VI, 4| perfection of his love and the sincerity of his deserved affection 1431 I, I, 2| thoughts, wicked actions, and sinful desires, when they find 1432 II, V, 4| unholy, and everything which singly makes a bad man. For as 1433 I, VIII, 4| nature and dignity, and sink into the condition of irrational 1434 II, X, 1| have been prepared for sinners-let us see what our opinions 1435 II, X, 4| and forms at the moment of sinning, will see a kind of history, 1436 II, III, 6| to the chief daughters of Sion, and where he says, "Instead 1437 II, III, 7| 7. Having sketched, then, so far as we could 1438 II, I, 4| to be the attendant and slave of the Creator for whatever 1439 II, VIII, 3| crooked serpent, and will slay him." And again he says: " 1440 I, IV, 1| that, when he lay down to sleep in the possession of his 1441 I, V, 5| kings of the nations have slept in honour, every one in 1442 I, IV, 1| which hitherto had been only slightly obliterated from his mind. 1443 I, VIII, 4| slowly on account of their slothful habits, others fly with 1444 I, I, 6| its mental operations in a slovenly and irregular manner, and 1445 II, VIII, 4| intellect, others again of a slower habit of mind, and some 1446 I, I, 7| or softness, roughness or smoothness, that of touch. Now, of 1447 I, VIII, 1| to another, that of the Smyrnaeans; one angel was to be Peter' 1448 II, V, 3| that since justice is so, sobriety also, and prudence, and 1449 I, II, 7| presenting itself gently and softly to the frail and weak eyes 1450 I, I, 7| heat or cold, hardness or softness, roughness or smoothness, 1451 II, IV, 1| of the temple those who sold sheep, and oxen, and doves, 1452 I, I, 6| virtue of being the one sole species of Deity, so to 1453 I, VI, 1| treated by us with great solicitude and caution, in the manner 1454 II, X, 5| the application of fire, a solidification undoubtedly into a firmer 1455 II, X, 3| body as it pleases Him," as soon as the grain of corn is 1456 II, IV, 3| simple by certain deceptive sophisms, I do not consider it improper 1457 I, I, 7| advanced regarding the mind or soul-to the effect that it is better 1458 II, X, 6| those who have lost their soundness of mind! Pictures of this 1459 II, X, 3| the apostle describes the sowing in the ground of a "bare 1460 II, III, 6| indescribable extent the spaces of all the spheres together 1461 II, I, 1| to follow mat we should specially re-discuss a few points 1462 II, V, 4| had beforehand explained specifically. And in this way also is 1463 II, VI, 2| spoils. And therefore the spectacle is to be contemplated with 1464 II, IX, 3| vision, others in hearing and speech; some born in that condition, 1465 I, IV, 1| he be aroused and return speedily to his senses, repair those 1466 I, VI, 4| the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-to exist without any material 1467 I, VIII, 4| at a condition of perfect spirituality, and discern all things 1468 II, VI, 2| of death, laden with its spoils. And therefore the spectacle 1469 I, VI, 2| to many things, so there spring from one beginning many 1470 I, VIII, 2| them, Peter and Paul were sprung from the root of a good 1471 I, V, 1| In the writings also of St. Paul himself we find him 1472 I, VII, 1| of the sun, and moon, and stab by way of logical inference, 1473 I, V, 3| thrones or seats gained that stability of happiness at the same 1474 I, VI, 3| thus advancing through each stage to a better condition, reach 1475 I, III, 8| Spirit in us, in its various stages of progress, shall we be 1476 I, V, 5| garment cloned with blood, and stained, will not be clean; neither 1477 I, III, 8| in order that, after all stains of pollution and ignorance 1478 II, X, 3| grain into a body having stalk and ear. And so also to 1479 II, X, 4| those things of which it had stamped on itself certain signs 1480 I, V, 4| opinions agreeably to the standard of religion.
