45122 | Is that better than Christ''s own simple human language, I go to my Father? |
45122 | Is that nothing? |
45122 | Is there any one who loves us more than God? |
45122 | Is there anything among the works of God, anything next to God, more wonderful, more awful, more holy than man? |
45122 | It is all God''s work, and where is there a flaw in that wonder of all wonders, God''s ever- working work? |
45122 | It is true our hopes are human, but what are the doubts and difficulties? |
45122 | Look at the miserable conceptions which man made to himself as long as he spoke of gods beside God? |
45122 | Much rather should we ask, Was then Jesus a mere God? |
45122 | Nay, is it not our duty to wake the child, when the time has come that he must be up and doing, and take his share in the toils of the day? |
45122 | Need we wonder, therefore, that just those who wish to transfer only their highest to the Godhead begin to shrink from speaking of a personal God? |
45122 | Or again, Are we to make ourselves gods? |
45122 | Shall we meet again as we left? |
45122 | Should we then attach our hearts to nothing, and pass quietly and unsympathetically through this world, as if we had nothing to do with it? |
45122 | Shut our eyes and be silent? |
45122 | Surely this was not so in the early centuries, nor again at the time of the Reformation? |
45122 | Then what can we do? |
45122 | To live means to be able to absorb, but who or what is able? |
45122 | Was not Christ, who died for us, more than we ourselves? |
45122 | We are in a dark prison here; let us believe that outside it there is no darkness, but light-- but what light, who knows? |
45122 | We believe what we desire-- true-- but why do we desire? |
45122 | We do not know_ how_ it will be so, but who has a right to say it_ can not_ be so? |
45122 | We love the fair appearance too, how could it be otherwise? |
45122 | We seem to love the fleeting forms of life, and yet how can we truly love what is so faithless? |
45122 | What can we do? |
45122 | What do we ourselves mean by soul? |
45122 | What does that mean? |
45122 | What does that mean? |
45122 | What ground have we, then, to doubt that it was even before that moment? |
45122 | What has life to do with the Self? |
45122 | What led to such expressions as''God is Love''but a feeling of reverence, which shrank from speaking of God as loving as we love? |
45122 | What should we be without it? |
45122 | What should we learn from these prophets who from distant countries and bygone ages all bear the same witness to the same truth? |
45122 | What would become of the world if all our prayers were granted? |
45122 | What, then, is that something which, added to the good, makes it beautiful? |
45122 | What, then, is the touchstone by which we assay the Beautiful? |
45122 | Whence all these limits? |
45122 | Whence comes melody? |
45122 | Where is the temple of God, or the true kingdom of God? |
45122 | Where is there a flaw or a fault? |
45122 | Wherever and whenever it was, we feel that we have made ourselves what we are; is not that a useful article of faith? |
45122 | Who would blame them or disturb them? |
45122 | Why do we so seldom face the great problem? |
45122 | Why not? |
45122 | Why not? |
45122 | Why should all be different? |
45122 | Why should we look for God and listen for His voice outside us only, and not within us? |
45122 | Why should we protest against a similar unknown quantity before the beginning of our life on earth? |
45122 | Why should we try to know more than we can know, if only we firmly believe that Christ''s immortal spirit ascended to the Father? |
45122 | Why was the past often so beautiful? |
45122 | Would it not be fearful to live for one day unless we knew, and saw, and felt His Presence and Wisdom and Love encompassing us on all sides? |

6038 | How would it sound to say,"In the name of the Father"_ and of Moses?_ Would it not seem sacrilegious? |
6038 | How, then, can Israel say,"My way is hid from the Lord?" |
6038 | How, then, can evil triumph? |
6038 | How, then, do we account for the differences in style of the various writers, the preservation of their individualities, their idiosyncrasies? |

6038 | If He needed to depend solely upon the Spirit can we afford to do less? |
6038 | If a miraculous exit was granted to men like Elijah and Enoch, who were sinful men, why should we marvel if such was granted to Christ? |
6038 | If all men were not capable of being saved, how then could we pray to that end? |
6038 | If such is His power how shall Assyria withstand it? |
6038 | If the first two names are personal, is not the third? |
6038 | If without shedding of blood there is no remission of sin, where is the shed blood?'' |
6038 | In the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus no name is given to the godless rich man; why? |
6038 | Is He not holy? |
6038 | Is He still the Lamb as though it had been slain? |
6038 | Is Jesus Christ a man of a much higher type of faith than ours, yet one with whom we believe in God? |
6038 | Is any light thrown on the question by the incident of the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace? |
6038 | Is it a definite place, or is it simply a figure of speech denoting a place of authority and power? |
6038 | Is it a"sign"of His coming? |
6038 | Is it not marvellous? |
6038 | Is it not remarkable that the Baptist uses the word"unquenchable"''( Greek,"asbestos") when speaking of this fire? |
6038 | Is it possible that anyone need be told the flat and sapless tautology that all divinely- inspired Scripture is_ also_ profitable? |
6038 | Is it right that God should make the holiest man in all the ages the greatest sufferer, if that man were but a martyr? |
6038 | Is it self- originating, or is the cause of its being outside of itself? |
6038 | Is it too much to say that on that baptismal day Jesus was keenly conscious that these Old Testament predictions were fulfilled in Him? |
6038 | Is its cause finite or infinite? |
6038 | Is not Jesus here conscious of Himself as being the centre of the scene thus described in the Apocalypse? |
6038 | Is not Jesus here repeating what had been done for Him at His baptism: conveying super- human power? |
6038 | Is not one of the principal reasons for the writing of the Epistle to the Colossians to correct the gnostic theory of the worshipping of angels? |
6038 | Is not this a sufficient number? |
6038 | Is not this true also of the believer''s eternal security? |
6038 | Is the present Christian consciousness borne out by the Gospel narratives? |
6038 | Is the"fire"spoken of here_ literal_ fire? |
6038 | Is there a purpose here to ignore the wicked? |
6038 | Is there not here an indication of the consciousness on the part of Jesus of a unique relationship with His heavenly Father? |
6038 | Is this a description of hell--absence of spiritual light; separation from the company of the saved; lamentation; impotent rage? |
6038 | Is this cause within or without himself, finite or infinite? |
6038 | It can not help raising the question of the whither, as well as of the what and the whence? |
6038 | It is an effect, a glorious effect; what is its cause? |
6038 | It is true that others raised the dead, but under what different conditions? |
6038 | It is true that this term is used of men, e.g., Acts 16:30--"Sirs( Lords), what must I do to be saved?" |
6038 | Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? |
6038 | Job 22:12- 14--"Is not God in the height of heaven? |
6038 | John 21:21- 23--"Peter seeing him( John) saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? |

6038 | Micah 7:18,19--"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? |
6038 | Or did He intend that His disciples should have the impression that He was speaking of literal fire? |
6038 | Or is He, equally with God, the object of our faith? |
6038 | Or that He could not pursue them into foreign countries? |
6038 | Or that He knew what was transpiring in heaven only and not upon the earth, and even in its most distant corners? |
6038 | Pride(?) |
6038 | Reference may here be made to the white stone( diamond?) |
6038 | Reply: True, but was not this fulfilled when they saw Christ on the Transfiguration Mount? |
6038 | Reply: What is meant by a"generation"? |
6038 | Shall we know Him by the prints?] |
6038 | Shall we know our loved ones by these things?] |
6038 | Shall we read,"Anointed.. with_ power_ and power?" |
6038 | Shall we read,"That ye may abound in hope, through the power of the_ power_"? |
6038 | Shall we say,"It seemeth good to_ the wind_ and to us"? |
6038 | She said:"Thy father"; Jesus replied in substance:"Did you say_ my_ father has been seeking me?" |
6038 | Should not the exit of Christ from this world be as unique as His entrance into it? |
6038 | Simon Magus was baptized( Acts 8), but was he saved? |
6038 | So was it with the faith which Christ demanded in His miracles:"Believe ye that I am able to do this?" |
6038 | Strictly speaking, it is not now so much of a_ sin_ question as it is a_ Son_ question; not, What shall be done with my sin? |
6038 | That was an effect; what was its cause? |
6038 | That word was used for other Christian deaths, why not for Christ''s? |
6038 | The great question for the Christian to answer is not"What can I do?" |
6038 | The prophet can not believe it possible, for has not God_ eternal_ purposes for Israel? |
6038 | The question is not so much"How many talents have I received,"but"To what use am I putting them?" |
6038 | The test which the church should apply to all questions of practice: Would I like to have Christ find me doing this when He comes? |
6038 | They are not given to mock but to encourage us:"Hath he said and shall he not do it? |
6038 | Thirdly, There is the descent of the Spirit, and the heavenly voice; what meaning did these things have to Jesus? |
6038 | Trace our origin back, if you will, to our first parent, Adam; then you must ask, How did he come into being? |
6038 | True, but we reply: Why do we need an incarnation for the manifestation of that purpose? |
6038 | WHAT IS THE NATUEE OF THE INSPIRATION THAT CHARACTERIZED THE WRITERS OF THE SCRIPTURES, AND IN WHAT DEGREE WERE THEY UNDER ITS INFLUENCE? |
6038 | WHY IS THE PERSONALITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT QUESTIONED? |
6038 | Was there any significance in the fact that Jesus did not explain the word"fire"? |
6038 | Were the words dictated by the Holy Spirit, or were the writers left to choose their own words? |
6038 | Were the_ thoughts_ or_ concepts_ alone inspired, or were the_ words_ also inspired? |
6038 | Were there not men enough in existence? |
6038 | What are God''s relations to the universe and to men? |
6038 | What bearing has the testimony of Jesus upon the question of His deity? |
6038 | What do we learn from these scriptures regarding the relation of God to this universe, to man, and to all God''s creatures? |
6038 | What does all this mean? |
6038 | What had they to gain by fraud? |
6038 | What is glory? |
6038 | What is meant by the terms_ image_ and_ likeness_? |
6038 | What is meant by"the right hand of God"? |
6038 | What is the end, the final aim of the great whole, that far- off divine event towards which the whole creation moves? |
6038 | What is the end, the final destiny of the individual? |
6038 | What means are used, and what agencies employed to make men holy and conform them into the likeness of Christ? |
6038 | What motive could the apostles have had in perpetrating the story of Christ''s resurrection upon people? |
6038 | What part is inspired, and what part is not? |
6038 | What shall the Christian church say to these things, and what shall be her reply? |
6038 | What takes place when we go to sleep? |
6038 | What was the nature and likeness of Christ''s resurrection body which our resurrection body is to resemble? |
6038 | What would this world be without it? |
6038 | What, then, did these men see? |
6038 | Where did this institution come from? |
6038 | Where did we get this standard of right and wrong? |
6038 | Where is its sacrifice? |
6038 | Who are those"in the presence of the angels of God"? |
6038 | Who can give this power that is strong enough to make even demons obey? |
6038 | Who can tell? |
6038 | Who dared change it? |
6038 | Who has a right to command my life? |
6038 | Who is this that dares to set Himself up as superior to Moses and the law of Moses, by saying,"But_ I_ say unto you"? |
6038 | Who is to be the judge of so vital a question? |
6038 | Who made is obligatory? |
6038 | Who shall put it away? |
6038 | Why can not both things be included? |
6038 | Why create a new being for such a purpose? |
6038 | Why did not the Master explain what he meant by the figurative word"fire"? |
6038 | Why not make a guilty, and not an absolutely innocent and guileless man such an example of God''s displeasure upon sin? |
6038 | Why should He be God- forsaken in that crucial hour? |
6038 | Why stumble over the limitation of this attribute and not over the others? |
6038 | Why then mention this eternal aspect of adoption? |
6038 | Why then should such a comforting and helpful doctrine as this be spoken against? |
6038 | Why then, if faith is the work of the Godhead, are we responsible for not having it? |
6038 | Would not these passages rebel against such tautological and meaningless usage? |
6038 | Would that sound right? |
6038 | Would they have sacrificed their lives for what they themselves believed to be an imposture? |
6038 | Zion or Gerizim? |
6038 | [ NOTE: Does this throw any light on the matter of recognition in heaven? |
6038 | _ In general:_ Job 11:7, 8--"Canst thou by searching find out God? |

14453 | ''But why not reveal true things first to the wise? |
14453 | ''How shall mortal man walk in such a yoke,''sayest thou,''even with the Son of God bearing it also?'' |
14453 | ''How then am I to try after it? |
14453 | ''I hope, sir, your health is better than it has been?'' |
14453 | ''I will be God among you; I will be myself to you.--You will not have me? |
14453 | ''Shall not God avenge his own elect,''he says,''which cry day and night unto him?'' |
14453 | ''What is it, then, to be pure in heart?'' |
14453 | ''What power can heal the broken- hearted?'' |
14453 | ''Why did you look for me? |
14453 | Ah, to whom shall we go? |
14453 | All come from the one mighty father: shall he judge the live thoughts of God, which is greater and which is less? |
14453 | And he said unto them,''How is it that ye sought me? |
14453 | And what shall we say of those coming, and yet to come and pass-- evermore issuing from the fountain of life, daily born into evil things? |
14453 | And why are they always glad before the face of the Father in heaven? |
14453 | And why should he have taken it for granted they would know, or judge that they ought to have known, that he was there? |
14453 | Are all to have the same face? |
14453 | Are these not worth making immortal? |
14453 | Are they authorized in translating the Greek thus? |
14453 | Are they not the fittest to receive them?'' |
14453 | Are we guilty of connivance, when silent as to the ambush whence we know the wicked arrow privily shot? |
14453 | Are we to call the traitor to account? |
14453 | Are we to treat persons known for liars and strife- makers as the children of the devil or not? |
14453 | Are we to turn away from them, and refuse to acknowledge them, rousing an ignorant strife of tongues concerning our conduct? |
14453 | Are you the lowest kind of creature that_ could_ be permitted to live? |
14453 | As to his being the Messiah, that was merest absurdity: did they not all know his father, the carpenter? |
14453 | Blessed of God because restored to an absence of sorrow? |
14453 | But a yoke is for drawing withal: what load is it the Lord is drawing? |
14453 | But had we once seen God face to face, should we not be always and for ever sure of him? |
14453 | But if all our light shine out, and none of our darkness, shall we not be in utmost danger of hypocrisy? |
14453 | But if the child try to possess as a house the thing his father made an organ, will he succeed in so possessing it? |
14453 | But if the thought be anywise precious to you, is it essential to your enjoyment in it, that nothing less than yourself should share its realization? |
14453 | But if you do, why not believe in it for them? |
14453 | But is toothache nothing, because there are yet worse pains for head and face? |
14453 | But let us waste no strength in despising such men; let us rather turn the light upon ourselves: are we not in some way denying him? |
14453 | But shall I admire their discoveries at the expense of the stranger-- nay, no stranger-- the poor brother within their gates? |
14453 | But what if your righteousness tarry, because your hunger after it is not eager? |
14453 | But what is this liberty of the children of God, for which the whole creation is waiting? |
14453 | But what shall I say of such as for any kind of end subject animals to torture? |
14453 | But why inquire? |
14453 | But would such restoration be comfort enough for the heart of Jesus to give? |
14453 | Can there be oneness without difference? |
14453 | Could Love create with such end in view? |
14453 | Could we see things always as we have sometimes seen them-- and as one day we must always see them, only far better-- should we ever know dullness? |
14453 | Darest thou imply a divine preference for Capernaum over Nazareth?'' |
14453 | Dead, in bondage to corruption, how can they share in the liberty of the children of Life? |
14453 | Did he ever say,''This is mine, not yours''? |
14453 | Did he not say,''All things are mine, therefore they are yours''? |
14453 | Did you not know that I must be among my father''s things?'' |
14453 | Do we understand it? |
14453 | Do you believe in immortality for yourself? |
14453 | Does he intend''my father and me''? |
14453 | Does he intend_ all of us men_? |
14453 | Does he make the least lamentation over the temple? |
14453 | Does not he then, who loves and understands his book, possess it with such possession as is impossible to the other? |
14453 | Does not this involve its existence beyond what we call this world? |
14453 | Dost thou look for a good time coming, friend, when thou shalt know as thou art known? |
14453 | Dost thou not justify thy deed to thyself by thy tenderness toward me? |
14453 | First then, what does Paul, the slave of Christ, intend by''the creature''or''the creation''? |
14453 | For how can God in any sense forgive, remit, or send away the sin which a man insists on retaining? |
14453 | For the sake of your children, would you waylay a beggar? |
14453 | For what good, for what divine purpose is the maker of the sparrow present at its death, if he does not care what becomes of it? |
14453 | For what is a lamp or a man lighted? |
14453 | For what makes the thing a book? |
14453 | Had God been of like heart with you, would he have given life and immortality to creatures so much less than himself as we? |
14453 | Had he not known something better, would he have said what he did about the father of men and the sparrows? |
14453 | Had not those words found a way to the pure human, that is, the divine in the men? |
14453 | Has the question no interest for you? |
14453 | Have they not also a faithful creator? |
14453 | He_ is_ that thing; why think about it? |
14453 | How are they to go on loving it without a growing knowledge of it? |
14453 | How can he keep in his sight a foul presence? |
14453 | How can we be workers with God at his work, and he never say''Thank you, my child''? |
14453 | How could the divine order of things, founded for growth and gradual betterment, hold and proceed without the notion of return for a thing done? |
14453 | How did they bear him witness? |
14453 | How shall he die to escape the remorse of the authorship of so much misery? |
14453 | How should it be otherwise? |
14453 | How should it not be so, when the one Power is the informing life of both? |
14453 | How should that woman care to be delivered from her sins, how could she accept any comfort, who believed the child of her bosom lost to her for ever? |
14453 | How should the treasure of the Father be open to such? |
14453 | How, then, am I to let my light shine, if I take pains to hide what I do? |
14453 | How, then, were they worth calling out of the depth of no- being? |
14453 | If a woman forget the child she has borne and nourished, how shall she remember the father from whom she has herself come? |
14453 | If another have none, thine must lie in thy superior power; and will there not one day come a stronger than thou? |
14453 | If any one say,''Why did the Lord let the word remain there so long, if he never said it?'' |
14453 | If he did say''_ my father''s house_'', could he have meant the temple and his parents not have known what he meant? |
14453 | If he meant that they might have known this without being told, why was it that, even when he set the thing before them, they did not understand him? |
14453 | If his faith in God take from a man his cheerfulness, how shall the face of a man ever shine? |
14453 | If his presence be no good to the sparrow, are you very sure what good it will be to you when your hour comes? |
14453 | If one answer,''For aught I know, it may be so,''--Where then are thy own rights? |
14453 | If such then be the words of the apostle, does he, or does he not, I ask, hold the idea of the immortality of the animals? |
14453 | If the Father will raise his children, why should he not also raise those whom he has taught his little ones to love? |
14453 | If the Lord said very little about animals, could he have done more for them than tell men that his father cared for them? |
14453 | If they had denied him, where would our gospel be? |
14453 | In the Perfect, would familiarity ever destroy wonder at things essentially wonderful because essentially divine? |
14453 | In which of his changing moods is he more himself? |
14453 | Is God a mocker, who will not be mocked? |
14453 | Is Time too much for him? |
14453 | Is any other imaginable reward worth mentioning beside it? |
14453 | Is he a loving God? |
14453 | Is he a merciful God? |
14453 | Is he the husbandman to take all the profit, and muzzle the mouth of his ox? |
14453 | Is he to tell them the horrors of the persecutions that await them, and not the sweet sympathies that will help them through? |
14453 | Is it a grand thing, is it a meritorious thing, not to be vile? |
14453 | Is it in wine only that the old is better? |
14453 | Is it not of the very essence of the Christian hope, that we shall be changed from much bad to all good? |
14453 | Is it not that it has a soul-- the mind in it of him who wrote the book? |
14453 | Is it selfish to desire to love? |
14453 | Is it selfish to hope for purity and the sight of God? |
14453 | Is it shining before men so that they glorify God for it? |
14453 | Is it what he himself thinks he is? |
14453 | Is it what his friends at any given moment think him? |
14453 | Is not our love to the animals a precious variety of love? |
14453 | Is not the prophecy on the groaning creation to have its fulfilment in the new heavens and the new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness? |
14453 | Is not virtue then a reward? |
14453 | Is our light bearing witness? |
14453 | Is the Lord such as they believe him? |
14453 | Is there a past to God with which he has done? |
14453 | Is there any mourning worthy the name that has not love for its root? |
14453 | Is there anything to be proud of in refusing to worship the devil? |
14453 | Is this the fine of the great buyer of land, to have his fine pate full of fine dirt? |
14453 | It is a greater deed, to make be that which was not, than to seal it with an infinite immortality: did God do that which was not worth doing? |
14453 | It was the Israelite indeed, whom the Lord met with miracle:''Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig- tree, believest thou? |
14453 | It will take the utmost joy God can give, to let men know him; and what man, knowing him, would mind losing every other joy? |
14453 | Let us now take the translation given us by the Revisers:--''Wist ye not that I must be in my father''s house?'' |
14453 | Loves any lover so little as to desire_ no_ change in the person loved-- no something different to bring him or her closer to the indwelling ideal? |
14453 | May we roll the rejection of a villainy as a sweet morsel under our tongues? |
14453 | Mayst thou not one day be in Naboth''s place, with an Ahab getting up to go into thy vineyard to possess it? |
14453 | Must he give them no help to counterbalance the load with which they start on their race? |
14453 | Must not the light of truth in his face, beheld of such even as knew not the truth, have lifted their souls up truthward? |
14453 | Must she keep away until she knows herself sorry for her sins? |
14453 | Must the Lord hide from his friends that they will have cause to rejoice that they have been obedient? |
14453 | Must the creator send forth his virtue to hold alive a thing that will be evil-- a thing that ought not to be, that has no claim but to cease? |
14453 | Must the love live on for ever without its object? |
14453 | Must the very immortality of love divide the bond of love? |
14453 | Must there be only current and no tide? |
14453 | Must we congratulate you on such a love for your fellows as inspires you to wrong the weaker than they, those that are without helper against you? |
14453 | Must we fail still? |
14453 | Need I argue the injustice? |
14453 | Now what can God''s elect have to keep on crying for, night and day, but righteousness? |
14453 | Only what other joy could keep from entering, where the God of joy already dwelt? |
14453 | Or can he have been with him, and have left him behind in his closet? |
14453 | Or did he care for them, but could not help them? |
14453 | Or does he intend''you and me, John''? |
14453 | Shall not the children have little dogs under the Father''s table, to which to let fall plenty of crumbs? |
14453 | Shall not_ the_ Father do_ his_ best to find his prodigal? |
14453 | Shall we count the man worthy who, for the sake of his friend, robbed another man too feeble to protect himself, and too poor to punish his assailant? |
14453 | Shall we not rather believe that the vessels of less honour, the misused, the maltreated, shall be filled full with creative wine at last? |
14453 | Should we not just open our own child- eyes, look upon the things themselves, and be consoled? |
14453 | Starts thy soul, trembles thy brain at the thought of such a burden as the will of the eternally creating, eternally saving God? |
14453 | That is like the lawyer''s''Who is my neighbour?'' |
14453 | The Father is father_ for_ his children, else why did he make himself their father? |
14453 | The Greek, taken literally, says,''Wist ye not that I must be in the----of my father?'' |
14453 | The Lord knew these men, and had their hearts in his hand; else would he have told them they were the salt of the earth and the light of the world? |
14453 | The Lord would have men love righteousness, but how are they to love it without being acquainted with it? |
14453 | The man who takes no count of what is fair, friendly, pure, unselfish, lovely, gracious,--where is his claim to call Jesus his master? |
14453 | The plural article implies the English_ things_; and the question is then, What_ things_ does he mean? |
14453 | The rich man may come prowling after thy little ewe lamb, and what wilt thou have to say? |
14453 | The sons of God are not a new race of sons of God, but the old race glorified:--why a new race of animals, and not the old ones glorified? |
14453 | The typical soul reappears in higher formal type; why may not also the individual soul reappear in higher form? |
14453 | Then, if the earth must have its animals, why not the old ones, already dear? |
14453 | Therefore, that he is empty of good, needs discourage no one; for what is emptiness but room to be filled? |
14453 | They had heard of wonderful things he had done in other places: why had they not first of all been done in_ their_ sight? |
14453 | They have little, and we have much; ought they therefore to have less and we more? |
14453 | To what purpose is the spirit of God promised to them that ask it, if not to help them order their way aright? |
14453 | Was ever love so deep, so pure, so perfect, as to be good enough for him? |
14453 | Was it not the something true, common to all hearts, that bore the wondering witness to the graciousness of his words? |
14453 | Was it wrong to assure them that where he was going they should go also? |
14453 | Was that his saying? |
14453 | We must be nowise anxious to defend ourselves; and if not ourselves because God is our defence, then why our friends? |
14453 | Were they created only to become dear, and be destroyed? |
14453 | What are we for but to do our duty? |
14453 | What are we to understand by''my father''s things''? |
14453 | What better can we do for our neighbour than to become altogether righteous toward him? |
14453 | What can be done for the poor things-- except indeed you take the absurd notion into your head, that they too have a life beyond the grave?'' |
14453 | What did Jesus come into the world to do? |
14453 | What did his saying mean? |
14453 | What first reward for doing well, may I look for? |
14453 | What is he there for, I repeat, if he have no care that it go well with his bird in its dying, that it be neither comfortless nor lost in the abyss? |
14453 | What is it constitutes this or that man? |
14453 | What is there for us when we discover that we are out of the way, but to bethink ourselves and turn? |
14453 | What light can he have in him who is always on his own side, and will never descry reason or right on that of his adversary? |
14453 | What man would he be who accepted the offer to be healed and kept alive by means which necessitated the torture of certain animals? |
14453 | What more could it be? |
14453 | What saves his claim from being merest mockery? |
14453 | What shall we say of him who comes from his closet, his mountain- top, with such a veil over his face as masks his very humanity? |
14453 | What sort of Christians are they? |
14453 | What then makes those who give us this translation, prefer it to the phrase in the authorized version,''_ about my Father''s business_''? |
14453 | What was his place of prayer? |
14453 | What was in the news to make the poor glad? |
14453 | What was the new covenant? |
14453 | What would the newest earth be to the old children without its animals? |
14453 | When his reward comes, will the youth feel aggrieved that it is Greek, and not bank- notes? |
14453 | Where does he find symbols whereby to speak of what goes on in the mind and before the face of his father in heaven? |
14453 | Where is the evil toward God, where the wrong to my neighbour, if I think sometimes of the joys to follow in the train of perfect loving? |
14453 | Where is their deliverance? |
14453 | Where shall the woman go whose child is at the point of death, or whom the husband of her youth has forsaken, but to her Father in heaven? |
14453 | Where shines their light? |
14453 | Where then was the propriety of his coming to be baptized by John, and insisting on being by him baptized? |
14453 | Wherein then consisted the goodness of the news which he opened his mouth to give them? |
14453 | Whereon will they ground their complaint should God give them their hearts''desire? |
14453 | Wherewith is the cart laden which he would have us help him draw? |
14453 | Whether the Syriac words he used were more precise, who in this world can tell? |
14453 | Which is the richer-- the man who, his large money spent, would have no refuge; or he for whose necessity a hundred would sacrifice comfort? |
14453 | Which of the two possessed the earth-- king Agrippa or tent- maker Paul? |
14453 | Who had a claim equal to theirs? |
14453 | Who will count himself deceived by overfulfilment? |
14453 | Why cast out a devil that the man may the better do the work of the devil? |
14453 | Why did they not understand it? |
14453 | Why should a man meditate with satisfaction on having denied himself some selfish indulgence, any more than on having washed his hands? |
14453 | Why should it not then involve immortality? |
14453 | Why should such a notion seem to you absurd? |
14453 | Why then think of it as anything more? |
14453 | Why was his arrival with such words in his heart and mouth, the coming of the kingdom? |
14453 | Why? |
14453 | Will he not be the nearer sharing in the exceeding great reward of a return to the divine idea? |
14453 | Will he take joy in his success and give none? |
14453 | With what but the will of the eternal, the perfect Father? |
14453 | Would Satan, with all the instincts and impulses of his origin in him, have_ merited_ eternal life by refusing to be a devil? |
14453 | Would it not be more like the king eternal, immortal, invisible, to know no life but the immortal? |
14453 | Would not such acknowledgment from the father be the natural correlate of the child''s behaviour? |
14453 | Would such a mother be a woman of whom the saviour of men might have been born? |
14453 | Would such a new heaven be a thing to thank God for? |
14453 | Would the Lord have such a one be of good cheer, of merry heart, because her sins were forgiven her? |
14453 | Would this be a prospect on which the Son of Man would congratulate the mourner, or at which the mourner for the dead would count himself blessed? |
14453 | Yes, if we but hide our darkness, and do not strive to slay it with our light: what way have we to show it, while struggling to destroy it? |
14453 | Your conscience does not trouble you? |
14453 | Zeal for God will never eat them up: why should it? |
14453 | _ JESUS IN THE WORLD._''Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? |
14453 | _ THE SALT AND THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD._''Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? |
14453 | and thou seen as the receiver of the reward!_ In what other way could the word, then or now, be fairly understood? |
14453 | and what would the father''s smile be but the perfect reward of the child? |
14453 | can I do so without knowing what it is?'' |
14453 | harmony without distinction? |
14453 | is he not their defence as much as ours? |
14453 | is thy friend''s esteem then so small? |
14453 | no moment in which to sob-- Sister, brother, I am thy slave? |
14453 | no room for making amends? |
14453 | or are we to give warning of any sort? |
14453 | or worse still, must the love die with its object, and be eternal no more than it? |
14453 | seek the praise of God for laying our hearts at the feet of him to whom we utterly belong? |
14453 | seek the praise of men for being fair to our own brothers and sisters? |
14453 | the good shepherd to find his lost sheep? |
14453 | then why faces at all? |
14453 | to create nothing that could die; to slay nothing but evil? |
14453 | to something that is not we, which means annihilation? |
14453 | what hope for the self- indulgent, the conceited, the greedy, the miserly? |
14453 | where his claim to Christianity? |
14453 | who so capable as they to pronounce judgment on his mission whether false or true: had they not known him from childhood? |
14453 | wist ye not that I must be about my father''s business?'' |
37274 | And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? 37274 Having loved_ His own_ which were in the world, He loved them"--how long? |
37274 | He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? |
37274 | How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? |
37274 | Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for My sake? 37274 O our God, wilt Thou not judge them? |
37274 | Of what use,it might be argued,"can it be to uphold the standard when all is gone to pieces? |
37274 | Open to what? |
37274 | Peter said unto Him, Lord, why can not I follow Thee now? 37274 The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? |
37274 | The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? |
37274 | Then cometh He to Simon Peter; and Peter saith unto Him,''Lord, dost Thou wash my feet?'' 37274 What shall we say then? |
37274 | When He makes bare His arm, Who shall His work withstand? 37274 Who art thou that judgest another man''s servant? |
37274 | A grand reality, most surely: who could duly estimate it? |
37274 | Abandon the ground in impatience, chagrin, and disappointment? |
37274 | Again:"Wilt thou obediently keep God''s holy will and commandments, and walk in the same all the days of thy life? |
37274 | All this is most true; but what right have we to imagine that Cornelius was praying, fasting, and giving alms in order to earn salvation? |
37274 | And can aught be more unseemly than to see a number of people sitting, lolling, lounging, and gaping about while prayer is being offered? |
37274 | And does He not act in various places? |
37274 | And dost thou not know full well, reader, that there are two sides to this great question, as there are to every question? |
37274 | And further, can we not distinctly recall the fact that there was a most decided setting aside of all human arrangement and official routine? |
37274 | And further, let us ask, who was the most earnest, laborious, and faithful preacher that ever trod this earth? |
37274 | And has He not? |
37274 | And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones? |
37274 | And hence we can say, What may we not expect, seeing that Christ has died for us? |
37274 | And how can we best reach the people, for whom the tracts and books are prepared? |
37274 | And how do we get life? |
37274 | And in the event of this, where is the difference between that assembly and the systems of men?" |
37274 | And is it not comely and right so to do? |
37274 | And must not the believer cross it? |
37274 | And shall not God avenge His own elect, which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them? |
37274 | And then the question,"_ Who am I?_"In this we see the blessed fact that self was for the moment lost sight of. |
37274 | And then what was to become of him if the prisoners were gone? |
37274 | And were they not showing the way of salvation? |
37274 | And what do they designate large- heartedness? |
37274 | And what does he do? |
37274 | And what has He said? |
37274 | And what is the difference between the blood- stained lintel and the divided sea? |
37274 | And what then? |
37274 | And what, let me ask, was the effect of all this upon the heart of David? |
37274 | And what, on the contrary, is a large and liberal heart? |
37274 | And where do these virtues shine out? |
37274 | And who has been preaching the gospel for the last eighteen centuries? |
37274 | And why? |
37274 | And why? |
37274 | And why? |
37274 | And why? |
37274 | And, may we not ask, what more could be said in the Church''s brightest days? |
37274 | And, on the same principle, how can a soul grow in the divine life, if he is always liable to doubt whether he has that life or not? |
37274 | And, we may ask, is not He sufficient? |
37274 | Are we affording any practical proof in daily life that Christ has died for us, and that we have died in Him? |
37274 | Are we declaring plainly that we have passed clean over Jordan-- that we belong to heaven-- that we are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit? |
37274 | Are we erecting our memorial? |
37274 | Are we giving evidence-- such evidence as may strike even the mind of a child-- of the fact that our Jesus has vanquished the power of death for us? |
37274 | Are we living as those who are dead with Christ-- dead to sin-- dead to the world? |
37274 | Are we living in the world or living in heaven-- which? |
37274 | Are we practically freed from the world-- letting go our hold of present things, in the power of communion with a risen Christ? |
37274 | Are we taught from the word of God that the early Church ever elected its own pastors or teachers? |
37274 | Are we to allow ourselves to fall under the fatal influence of the surrounding malaria? |
37274 | Are we to continue in error because the dispensation has failed?" |
37274 | Are you built on Christ? |
37274 | Are you content with such a sandy foundation? |
37274 | Are you in this path? |
37274 | Are you looking to your own heart or to Christ''s finished work for salvation? |
37274 | Are you thoroughly satisfied with God''s foundation? |
37274 | Are you wise-- are you right, in persisting in such a line of action under such circumstances? |
37274 | Art thou consciously standing on the solid ground of holy Scripture? |
37274 | Art thou washed in the precious atoning blood of Christ? |
37274 | As long as they behaved themselves, and walked with unsoiled feet? |
37274 | Beloved reader, are you on this foundation? |
37274 | Beloved reader, dost thou still hesitate? |
37274 | Brethren, of what use, may I ask you, would a blind love be to you or to me? |
37274 | But I think I hear you saying,"Where is all the Scripture we were to have had? |
37274 | But are we to be idle? |
37274 | But does it not seem to you, beloved, that we often err on the other side? |
37274 | But does it not strike you that we want more of the individual work? |
37274 | But does not Jordan represent death? |
37274 | But for the present we pause, and shall close this paper with a solemn and earnest question to the reader,_ Art thou sheltered by the blood of Jesus_? |
37274 | But how did the believers at Jerusalem meet together? |
37274 | But how is it now in the professing Church? |
37274 | But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?" |
37274 | But if I am afraid to face the Word of God, or if I am willfully refusing its action, how can I enjoy communion with God? |
37274 | But if so, what is the day which specially characterizes that dispensation? |
37274 | But in what aspect? |
37274 | But it may be asked, Is there no preparation necessary? |
37274 | But it will be asked,"Were there not elders and deacons in the early Church, and ought we not to have such likewise?" |
37274 | But may we not often detect ourselves in the habit of lightly and formally asking others to pray for us? |
37274 | But ought not the lambs and sheep to be gathered and cared for? |
37274 | But some may ask,"Is there no danger of incompetent men intruding their ministry upon an assembly of God? |
37274 | But the question is, have we made them our own-- have they been applied practically to our souls by the power of the Holy Ghost? |
37274 | But the sheep must be gathered before they can be fed; and how are they to be gathered but by the earnest preaching of the gospel? |
37274 | But then what of the law? |
37274 | But we must return to our theme; and in doing so, we would ask the reader if he really understands the true spiritual import of the river Jordan? |
37274 | But what is Christianity? |
37274 | But what is an assembly to do when abuses creep in? |
37274 | But what is fellowship? |
37274 | But what is"the camp?" |
37274 | But what then? |
37274 | But what, we repeat, were these living stones doing? |
37274 | But where have we anything like this now? |
37274 | But whither should Christ''s sheep be gathered? |
37274 | But who among us does? |
37274 | But who told thee this? |
37274 | But why did Mordecai refuse to bow to Haman? |
37274 | But, we may here inquire,"Is there aught in the history of God''s people now answering to Israel''s experience at the Red Sea?" |
37274 | C. H. M. FOOTNOTE:[ V.] When the jailer at Philippi inquired of Paul and Silas,"What must I do to be saved?" |
37274 | Can anything be more hardening to the heart, or more deadening to the conscience than this? |
37274 | Can it be"gold, silver, precious stones?" |
37274 | Can it have your Lord''s approving smile? |
37274 | Can selfishness live in the view of the cross? |
37274 | Can thoughts about our own interests, or our own gratification, be indulged in the presence of Him who sacrificed Himself for us? |
37274 | Can you not wait until night has drawn her sable curtain around you, and your closet door has shut you in, and then pour out your heart to your God? |
37274 | Canst thou give a"Thus saith the Lord"for the position which thou occupiest, at this moment? |
37274 | Christian reader, are you thinking of"the regions beyond you?" |
37274 | Could I depend upon God''s grace to enable me to abide under the curse? |
37274 | Could a family circle, after the toils of the day, sit down to supper with sighs and gloomy looks? |
37274 | Did not He take up and use instruments the most unfit and unfurnished, according to human thinking, for the accomplishment of His gracious purpose? |
37274 | Did not that make some difference? |
37274 | Did they do"_ all_"that the Lord commanded? |
37274 | Did they really think that Jehovah was going to judge and destroy them, after all? |
37274 | Did they"continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them?" |
37274 | Do we mourn over the coldness, barrenness, and death around us? |
37274 | Do we not feel the lack of power in all our public reunions? |
37274 | Do we not often, by a stiff and peculiar style, cast a chill upon young converts? |
37274 | Do we not remember the style and character of the agents who were chiefly used in the conversion of souls? |
37274 | Do we really understand such utterances? |
37274 | Do we really understand these words? |
37274 | Do we really want man''s authority to make us sure that God has spoken? |
37274 | Do we, in very deed, perceive their application to ourselves? |
37274 | Do you earnestly desire to follow your Lord? |
37274 | Do you ever think of calling in question your own very personal welcome to study the book of Creation? |
37274 | Do you not often find that it is after the more formal public preaching is finished, and the close personal work begins, that souls are reached? |
37274 | Do you not think that if we had more"Philips"we should have more"Nathanaels?" |
37274 | Do you really aim at something beyond mere empty profession, cold orthodoxy, or mechanical religiousness? |
37274 | Do you sigh for reality, depth, energy, fervor, and whole- heartedness? |
37274 | Does He send His sunlight and showers to mock and to tantalize, or to gladden and refresh? |
37274 | Does he believe it? |
37274 | Does not the voice of Holy Scripture bear the clearest testimony to the fact of the interest of the Trinity in the work of the gospel? |
37274 | Faith can now, therefore, sing triumphantly,"O death, where is thy sting? |
37274 | Finally, if we be asked,"Where is the true expression of this assembly of God now?" |
37274 | Fold our arms in cold indifference? |
37274 | For how long? |
37274 | For instance, when a believer dies and goes to heaven, is he called to fight? |
37274 | For then would they not have ceased to be offered? |
37274 | For what do men now call bigotry and narrow- mindedness? |
37274 | For what end? |
37274 | For what had he to build upon in himself? |
37274 | For what, after all, is a narrow mind? |
37274 | For who is there of all flesh that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? |
37274 | For, what is it? |
37274 | Fourthly, what is the_ authority_ on which the assembly is gathered? |
37274 | Had He not bestowed it upon his seed forever? |
37274 | Had He not made Abraham a present of the land of Canaan? |
37274 | Had He not ratified the gift by His word and His oath-- these two immutable things in which it was impossible for Him to lie? |
37274 | Had He not said to them,"Ye shall not need to fight"? |
37274 | Had he a"Thus saith the Lord"for his warrant in refusing a single nod of the head to the proud Amalekite? |
37274 | Have books and tracts lost their interest and value in our eyes? |
37274 | Have we entered into their real force and meaning? |
37274 | Have we not here a very elevated character of work? |
37274 | Have we not to deplore the objectless character of our prayer- meetings? |
37274 | Have we the custody of the Lamb''s book of life? |
37274 | Have we weighed the full force of the expression,"living in the world"? |
37274 | Have you come to Him as God''s living Stone, and given Him the full confidence of your heart? |
37274 | Have you ever pondered these words? |
37274 | Have you ever seen their application to yourself? |
37274 | Have you found any great breadth of truth in them? |
37274 | Having an evil nature, a crafty foe, and a hostile world to cope with, how is he to get on? |
37274 | He had to tread that rough path in profound solitude-- for who could accompany Him? |
37274 | He has died to sin, in the death of Christ; and what power has sin over a dead man? |
37274 | He might have gone forth and enjoyed his freedom, but what of them? |
37274 | He said unto Jesus,"Lord, whither goest thou? |
37274 | He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? |
37274 | How am I to know that God has spoken to me? |
37274 | How are we to know that Christ has, by His work on the cross, absolutely and divinely accomplished the will of God? |
37274 | How can I bow to one with whom Jehovah is at war? |
37274 | How can I do homage to a man whom the faithful Samuel would hew in pieces before the Lord?" |
37274 | How can I possess this precious faith?" |
37274 | How can I realize that I am dead to sin? |
37274 | How can a man get life by keeping that which requires life to keep it-- a life which he has not? |
37274 | How can any one run a race, if he has not cleared the starting post? |
37274 | How can he erect a building, if he has not laid the foundation? |
37274 | How can he pass off the platform of nature? |
37274 | How can he reach the blessed position of those to whom the Holy Ghost declares,"Ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit"? |
37274 | How can there be, seeing He has borne the condemnation in their stead? |
37274 | How can we tell whether a man is eternally linked with Christ or not? |
37274 | How could God, as a holy Father, grant such petitions? |
37274 | How could I ever have the self- consciousness of it, while in the body? |
37274 | How could I feel it? |
37274 | How could I realize it? |
37274 | How could acceptable priestly service be discharged with unclean hands? |
37274 | How could any one, of old, have constituted himself a son of Aaron? |
37274 | How could he face the authorities? |
37274 | How could he leave them behind? |
37274 | How could it be otherwise when we so fail in waiting upon God? |
37274 | How could it be otherwise with an honest mind? |
37274 | How could it be otherwise? |
37274 | How could they take possession of Canaan with the reproach of Egypt resting upon them? |
37274 | How could truth ever hinder Christians from giving expression to the unity of the Church? |
37274 | How could uncircumcised people dispossess the Canaanites? |
37274 | How do I know this? |
37274 | How does this appear? |
37274 | How is he to be kept? |
37274 | How is he to be lifted up if he falls? |
37274 | How is he to be restored if he wanders? |
37274 | How is it then that there is so little of this latter? |
37274 | How is the Christian to be kept in the face of such things? |
37274 | How is this most precious life to be had? |
37274 | How is this to be done? |
37274 | How is this? |
37274 | How is this? |
37274 | How is this? |
37274 | How many of those who fill our preaching rooms and lecture halls follow the example of Lydia? |
37274 | How shall_ we that are dead_ to sin, live any longer therein? |
37274 | How would he act in the face of all this? |
37274 | How, then, are all those things to be met? |
37274 | How, then, could we break it with sad hearts or sorrowful countenances? |
37274 | How, then, should we treat him? |
37274 | I must work there?" |
37274 | I would affectionately ask such, Are we to have no higher object before us in our actings than our own happiness? |
37274 | If I were to attempt to shape my way according to the thoughts of men, where should I be? |
37274 | If Jesus is in our midst, why should we think of setting up a human president? |
37274 | If all the really spiritual members were to stay away on such a ground, what would become of the prayer- meeting? |
37274 | If it be allowable to depart from Scripture at all, how far are we to go? |
37274 | If not, what mean the words,"Christ for His part, and this infant for his part?" |
37274 | If not, what then? |
37274 | If not, why not? |
37274 | If one were to be asked what he would consider most necessary for such days as these? |
37274 | If the authority of tradition be admitted at all, who is to fix its domain? |
37274 | If this be not a dishonor done to the Lord Christ, what is? |
37274 | If we admit, for a moment, that, in some things, we must have recourse to tradition and expediency, then who will undertake to fix the boundary line? |
37274 | If we had more"Andrews,"we should have more"Simons?" |
37274 | If you again ask,"How?" |
37274 | If you are anxious to get salvation, and God desires you should have it, why need you be another moment without it? |
37274 | If your sphere of work lies inside the camp, when your Master tells you to go forth, what shall we say for your work? |
37274 | In a word, of what is the Red Sea a type? |
37274 | Is Christian life to be made up of a series of negations? |
37274 | Is He a living Stone? |
37274 | Is He a precious Stone? |
37274 | Is He a rejected Stone? |
37274 | Is all this real and true? |
37274 | Is it a question of Satan? |
37274 | Is it a question of anxiety about my eternal salvation? |
37274 | Is it a question of death? |
37274 | Is it a question of guilt? |
37274 | Is it a question of sin? |
37274 | Is it a question of the world? |
37274 | Is it a question of trespass? |
37274 | Is it because I feel it? |
37274 | Is it because you feel it? |
37274 | Is it into the folds of man''s erection, or into an assembly gathered on divine ground? |
37274 | Is it needful, think you, to wait that God should do something more for your salvation? |
37274 | Is it not invariably something designed for the testing, or experimenting for the improvement, or advancement of the first man? |
37274 | Is it not plain that I am throwing overboard the cross? |
37274 | Is it not plain that salvation is made to depend upon something or some one besides Christ? |
37274 | Is it not plain that the professing Church neither keeps the right day as the sabbath, nor does she keep it after the Scripture mode? |
37274 | Is it not quite enough for us to be"joined to the Lord?" |
37274 | Is it not so? |
37274 | Is it to Old Testament scripture merely? |
37274 | Is it to mock or to tantalize you by presenting before you what was never intended for you? |
37274 | Is it-- can it be, true humility to reduce the blood of Christ to the level of the blood of bulls and of goats? |
37274 | Is mere feeling the ground of your faith? |
37274 | Is not that sufficient? |
37274 | Is not the New Testament a sufficient rule without the Ten Commandments? |
37274 | Is not the deficiency manifest from the fact that we see so little result from our prayers? |
37274 | Is not the lack of this the explanation of much leanness of soul, from which knowledge alone is not able to lift us up? |
37274 | Is not this something? |
37274 | Is the Christian not to be as one living in the world? |
37274 | Is the discipline of the Church of God founded upon what we can know, or upon what we_ can not_? |
37274 | Is the reader in the habit of using such a form of words? |
37274 | Is there a heart here to- night that will say, I am not satisfied with Christ''s service: I can not rest in His work? |
37274 | Is there anything questionable in thy surroundings and associations? |
37274 | Is there no lesson here for us? |
37274 | Is there no one who will enter upon it in simple faith, looking to the living God? |
37274 | Is there no one who will take up this valuable work for Christ''s sake and not for the sake of remuneration? |
37274 | Is there not a danger of the evangelist becoming merged in the teacher? |
37274 | Is there not a sad lack of this"one accord,""one place"principle in our midst? |
37274 | Is there not a want of that deep, personal, loving interest in souls which will express itself in a thousand ways that act powerfully on the heart? |
37274 | Is there not frequently something repulsive in our spirit and deportment? |
37274 | Is there nothing for us to do in the outside place to which we are called? |
37274 | Is there nothing positive? |
37274 | Is this nothing? |
37274 | Is this the way to"render unto the Lord"? |
37274 | It may be asked,"Is it possible that a true child of God could ever be found in such a low moral condition?" |
37274 | It may be said by the advocates of human authority,"How could an assembly ever get on without some human presidency? |
37274 | It may, however, be asked,"How could all the believers in London meet in one place?" |
37274 | Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized to Jesus Christ were baptized to His death? |
37274 | Many might have felt disposed to say to him,"Why persist in this practice? |
37274 | May it speak with living power to the soul of the unconverted reader, leading him to cry out in all sincerity,"What is to be done?" |
37274 | Must not the fault be in us?--are we not deficient in concord and confidence? |
37274 | Must we not admit that our reunions for prayer suffer sadly from long, rambling, desultory prayers? |
37274 | My reader, can you own such a fearful surrender of the truth of God? |
37274 | Need we wonder at the little result? |
37274 | Need we wonder that such an one should cry mightily to God? |
37274 | Now where, we ask, is this precedent followed? |
37274 | Now, in view of all this, what shall we say of Christendom''s priests and Christendom''s sacrifices? |
37274 | Now, my beloved hearers, I ask you, before I proceed, this question, Is there a heart in this congregation that has not yet rested here? |
37274 | Now, the question is, are not our prayers and prayer- meetings sadly deficient on this point? |
37274 | Now, the question is, how far do we understand this great lesson? |
37274 | Now, under such circumstances, what is one to do? |
37274 | Now, we may feel disposed to ask, Are these the people whom we have seen so recently feeding, in perfect safety, under the cover of the blood? |
37274 | Now, what is the simple application of all this to us as Christians? |
37274 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
37274 | O our God, wilt Thou not judge them? |
37274 | Of what, then, were they afraid? |
37274 | Or does the fault lie in the mode of conducting our Tract depots? |
37274 | Ought we not to come together more with some definite object on our hearts, as to which we are going to wait together upon God? |
37274 | Ought we not to examine ourselves as to how far we really understand these two conditions of prayer, namely, unanimity and confidence? |
37274 | Reader, are you assembled on this divine ground? |
37274 | Reader, art thou on God''s ground? |
37274 | Reader, art thou, at this moment in any pressure, in any trial, need, or difficulty? |
37274 | Reader, do you really want salvation? |
37274 | Reader, dost thou not utterly abhor it? |
37274 | Reader, is all this, think you, understood and taught in Christendom? |
37274 | Reader, why was this? |
37274 | Say, dear friend, are thy sins forgiven? |
37274 | Say, dear friend,_ have you_? |
37274 | Say, is the salvation of thy never- dying soul just_ the_ one thing in which thou canst do nothing? |
37274 | Secondly, what is the_ centre_ round which the assembly is gathered? |
37274 | Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
37274 | Should not we go and do likewise? |
37274 | Should they seek aught else? |
37274 | Should we not seek to save a drowning man, even though we could not command the use of a patent life- boat? |
37274 | Should we teach him not to pray? |
37274 | Suppose, then, I find myself in a place where two or more tables have been spread; what am I to do? |
37274 | Take Judaism or any other_ ism_ that ever was known or that now exists in this world, and what do you find it to be? |
37274 | Take what? |
37274 | The application is for your own heart to ponder: but say, are you thinking of"the regions beyond you?" |
37274 | The continual inquiry of the Christian should be, not is this or that according to law? |
37274 | The difficulty of faith is,"How shall He_ not_?" |
37274 | The difficulty of unbelief is,"How shall He?" |
37274 | The grand question is this, Is God''s word sufficient or not? |
37274 | The inspired volume has been placed in your hand and laid open before your eyes; and for what think you? |
37274 | The moment we see man usurping authority in that which calls itself the church, we simply ask,"Who are you?" |
37274 | The question forces itself upon us,"Is the man speaking to God, or to us?" |
37274 | The question is not,"Am I doing a great deal of work? |
37274 | The question is, How will she receive the action? |
37274 | The question is,_ What is that assembly_? |
37274 | Then why not take it, as God''s free gift? |
37274 | There is the Christ of God and the word of God, and-- what then? |
37274 | Thirdly, what is the_ power_ by which the assembly is gathered? |
37274 | This conducts us naturally to our second point, namely, What is the centre round which God''s assembly is gathered? |
37274 | This latter is of all- importance, inasmuch as it may be truly said, Is not God everywhere? |
37274 | To consider ourselves? |
37274 | To heaven, or to Rome? |
37274 | To what"volume"does He here refer? |
37274 | Was it merely a whim of his own? |
37274 | Was it not most manifestly a work of God''s Spirit? |
37274 | Was she not saying the truth? |
37274 | Was the Church told to inquire? |
37274 | Was there any divine reason for Daniel''s praying toward Jerusalem? |
37274 | Was there any great principle at stake? |
37274 | Was this blind obstinacy, or bold decision-- which? |
37274 | We are by nature"dead in trespasses and sins,"and what can a dead man do? |
37274 | We ask, where is the Church''s warrant for calling, making or appointing pastors? |
37274 | We feel we do not value that precious blood as we ought-- who ever did, or ever could? |
37274 | We have the answer in that one pithy statement:"Then went King David in, and sat before the Lord, and said,''Who am I?''" |
37274 | We may be asked,"Where will you find all this down here?" |
37274 | We reply by asking,"Are we to be disobedient because the Church is in ruin? |
37274 | We reply, How do you know that you are a lost sinner? |
37274 | We solemnly challenge thee, in the presence of God, Canst thou look up to Him and say,"I can do nothing-- I am not responsible?" |
37274 | We would put this pointed question to him, which we entreat him to answer, now,"_ Have you got eternal life_?" |
37274 | Well, I understand this; but will any one tell me that a teacher or pastor may not go forth in earnest longing after souls? |
37274 | Well, what was the special character of that work in its earlier stages? |
37274 | Were it not that we have"the law and the testimony,"where should we be? |
37274 | Were they not for the most part"unlearned and ignorant men?" |
37274 | Were they not the servants of the most high God? |
37274 | What are stripes, or stocks, or prison walls, or gloomy nights, to living stones and holy priests? |
37274 | What are we to do? |
37274 | What avails such security? |
37274 | What can be more painful than to hear a man on his knees explaining principles and unfolding doctrines? |
37274 | What do these things declare? |
37274 | What do they utter in the anxious sinner''s ear? |
37274 | What does he want with a pompous ritual, with all its imposing adjuncts? |
37274 | What does he want with a poor, sinful, dying priest, who can not save himself? |
37274 | What does he want with the sacrifice of the mass? |
37274 | What does it really mean? |
37274 | What follows? |
37274 | What grand lesson are we to learn from the scenes on the shores of the Red Sea? |
37274 | What has the Evangelical Alliance effected? |
37274 | What have we to say to these latter? |
37274 | What if both he and I are, by our very vows, made debtors to do the whole law, and thus shut up under its terrible curse? |
37274 | What is faith''s reply to all this? |
37274 | What is it? |
37274 | What is the necessary practical result? |
37274 | What is the real want of their souls? |
37274 | What is the reply? |
37274 | What is the true position of a Christian? |
37274 | What is to be done? |
37274 | What more can we need? |
37274 | What need is there for opening your windows and praying toward Jerusalem, in such a public manner? |
37274 | What power has sin over such an one? |
37274 | What remained for them? |
37274 | What remains? |
37274 | What riches are required to speak a kindly word-- to drop the tear of sympathy-- to give the soothing, genial look? |
37274 | What should we do, what would become of us, were it otherwise? |
37274 | What should we do? |
37274 | What then becomes of all our vows and resolutions? |
37274 | What then had they to do? |
37274 | What then? |
37274 | What then? |
37274 | What think you was the secret of his success? |
37274 | What was the burden of her song, during those"many days"in the which the apostle narrowly considered her case? |
37274 | What was the result? |
37274 | What were they doing? |
37274 | What will a righteous Judge say to them? |
37274 | What will be her end? |
37274 | What would she have said if any one had told her that millions of professing Christians would yet be praying to her? |
37274 | What, then, did he consider? |
37274 | What, then, do we learn from Luke xi? |
37274 | What, then, have we got to do? |
37274 | What, then, saith the Scripture as to the necessary moral conditions of prayer? |
37274 | What, therefore, is the ground of our justification? |
37274 | What, therefore, saith the Scripture? |
37274 | When He His people''s cause defends, Who then shall stay His hand?" |
37274 | When any one was separated, or"cut off,"from the congregation of Israel, was it because of not being an Israelite? |
37274 | Whence, then, these fears, this intense alarm, this agonizing cry? |
37274 | Where are we to put him? |
37274 | Where hast thou learnt it? |
37274 | Where have we an instance in the New Testament of a Church electing its own pastor? |
37274 | Where in Scripture have we such an expression as"the Christian sabbath"? |
37274 | Where is the Timothy or the Titus now? |
37274 | Where is the authority for altering the day or the mode of observing it? |
37274 | Where is the proof of all this? |
37274 | Where is the proof-- where the abiding memorial-- where the stone on the shoulder? |
37274 | Where is the spiritual power to be had for such works? |
37274 | Where is there any repeal of the law as to the sabbath? |
37274 | Where is there the least intimation in the New Testament that there should be a succession of men invested with the power to ordain elders or pastors? |
37274 | Where is this command obeyed? |
37274 | Where is this safe and blessed path? |
37274 | Where must all this end? |
37274 | Wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? |
37274 | Which? |
37274 | Whither should we go? |
37274 | Whither, think you, will such a system lead you? |
37274 | Who can encounter the swellings of Jordan? |
37274 | Who can face that grim and terrible foe? |
37274 | Who can measure the heights and the depths of those two words,"rich"and"poor,"in their application to our adorable Lord and Saviour? |
37274 | Who can stand before the king of terrors? |
37274 | Who first announced the good news of the bruised Seed of the woman? |
37274 | Who first preached the gospel? |
37274 | Who in his senses would maintain aught so monstrous? |
37274 | Who is sufficient for these things? |
37274 | Who was the first herald of salvation? |
37274 | Who would accept of it? |
37274 | Who would dare to hush or hinder that cry? |
37274 | Who would lean on an arm of flesh, when he can lean on the arm of the living God? |
37274 | Who would not rather be Daniel in the den than Darius in the palace? |
37274 | Who would think of resting in that which is human when he can have that which is divine? |
37274 | Who would venture upon such a piece of daring blasphemy? |
37274 | Who, except the Ark go first, can face death and judgment? |
37274 | Why a second, if aught could be made of the first? |
37274 | Why add aught thereto? |
37274 | Why are souls not smitten down under the Word? |
37274 | Why be grieved with-- why silence such a witness? |
37274 | Why did he not allow her to continue to bear witness to the object of his mission? |
37274 | Why is there so little gathering- power? |
37274 | Why is this? |
37274 | Why not unanimously and heartily allow Him to take the president''s seat, and bow to Him in all things? |
37274 | Why set up human authority, in any shape or form, in the house of God? |
37274 | Why should an anxious load Press down our weary mind? |
37274 | Why should the regenerated seek to belong to something else than that to which they already belong-- the assembly of God? |
37274 | Why the barrenness of our gospel services? |
37274 | Why the dullness and feebleness in the celebration of that precious feast which ought to stir the very deepest depths of our renewed being? |
37274 | Why then was Paul grieved? |
37274 | Why those barren seasons at the Lord''s table? |
37274 | Why those varied evils on which we have been dwelling, and which are being mourned over almost every where by the truly spiritual? |
37274 | Why was not the church at Ephesus, or why were not the churches at Crete, directed to elect or appoint elders? |
37274 | Why was the direction given to Timothy and Titus without the slightest reference to the Church, or to any part of the Church? |
37274 | Why were they to tarry one for another? |
37274 | Why, we may justly inquire, should it be different now? |
37274 | Why? |
37274 | Why? |
37274 | Why? |
37274 | Why? |
37274 | Will anyone presume to excuse himself for rejecting the gospel message on the ground of his inability to believe it? |
37274 | Will she push away the basin? |
37274 | Will she refuse the gracious ministry? |
37274 | Will she resist it, or yield to it? |
37274 | Would anyone be satisfied to purchase sheep, and then leave them to wander whithersoever they list? |
37274 | Would he not feel it right to lower the standard? |
37274 | Would it be right to pass a house on fire, without giving warning, even though one were not a member of the Fire Brigade? |
37274 | Would it not be better to give just one nod? |
37274 | Would it not lead to all sorts of confusion? |
37274 | Would it not open the door for everyone to intrude himself upon the assembly, quite irrespective of gift or qualification?" |
37274 | Yes, here is the question,"What must I do to be saved?" |
37274 | and in Thy hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand Thee? |
37274 | and rulest not Thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? |
37274 | and what has he got to do? |
37274 | and what is our rule of life? |
37274 | and, under such circumstances, is it not better for each denomination to have their own table? |
37274 | are we to sit down at the table of the Lord with as much indifference as if we were sitting down to an ordinary supper table? |
37274 | are we to yield to the paralyzing power of the atmosphere that inwraps the place? |
37274 | but am I pleasing my Master? |
37274 | but is it like Christ? |
37274 | but,"the anxious reader may say,"what has all this to say to my case? |
37274 | give all up as a myth, a fable, an idle chimera? |
37274 | give up in despair? |
37274 | go back to that from which they once came out? |
37274 | more of the private, earnest, personal dealing with souls? |
37274 | murmuring and complaining? |
37274 | or are you seeking to add something of your own-- your own works, your prayers, your ordinances, your vows and resolutions, your religious duties? |
37274 | or give vent to complaining, murmuring, fretfulness, or irritation? |
37274 | shall we accept salvation as the fruit of our Lord''s death, and deem aught that concerns Him non- essential? |
37274 | these partakers of the rock- life-- the victorious, resurrection- life of Christ-- how did they employ themselves? |
37274 | v. linked eternally with Christ, or not? |
37274 | v.: but what can be higher than"joy in God"? |
37274 | v.? |
37274 | what are the moral conditions which it sets before us? |
37274 | where the many quotations from the Gospels and the Acts?" |
37274 | x.? |
13316 | Adipiscuntur igitur boni quod appetunt? |
13316 | Ambulandi,inquit,"motum secundum naturam esse hominibus num negabis?" |
13316 | An etiam causas, cur i d ita sit, deprehendisti? |
13316 | An,inquit illa,"te alumne desererem nec sarcinam quam mei nominis inuidia sustulisti, communicato tecum labore partirer? |
13316 | And doth not a man want that,quoth she,"which he desireth?" |
13316 | And how can it be that, knowing the beginning, thou canst be ignorant of the end? 13316 And it is many ways clear that the vicious are miserable?" |
13316 | And makest thou any doubt that the function of it doth naturally belong to the feet? |
13316 | And what of the other which, being unpleasing, restraineth the evil with just punishment, doth not the people think it good? |
13316 | And what other manner shall this be,quoth I,"besides these?" |
13316 | And wilt thou doubt that he could, whom thou seest bring to pass what he desired? |
13316 | Atqui non egeret eo, nisi possideret pecuniam quam posset amittere? |
13316 | Atqui scis unde cuncta processerint? |
13316 | Bona igitur? |
13316 | But dost thou grant that all that is good is good by partaking goodness? |
13316 | But he should not need that help, unless he had money which he might lose? |
13316 | But he that wanteth anything is not altogether sufficient of himself? |
13316 | But it is granted that the chiefest good is blessedness? |
13316 | But knowest thou from whence all things had their beginning? |
13316 | But that fortune which either exerciseth or correcteth is profitable? |
13316 | But what account wilt thou make,quoth she,"to know what goodness itself is?" |
13316 | Can God do evil? |
13316 | Deniest thou,quoth she,"that every wicked man deserveth punishment?" |
13316 | Do we not think,quoth she,"that blessedness is good?" |
13316 | Dost thou ask me if I know that I am a reasonable and mortal living creature? 13316 Dost thou imagine that there is any mortal or frail thing which can cause this happy estate?" |
13316 | Dost thou not think then that that is good which is profitable? |
13316 | Egebit igitur,inquit,"extrinsecus petito praesidio quo suam pecuniam quisque tueatur?" |
13316 | Eget uero,inquit,"eo quod quisque desiderat?" |
13316 | Eiusque rei pedum officium esse naturale num dubitas? |
13316 | Essene aliquid in his mortalibus caducisque rebus putas quod huiusmodi statum possit afferre? |
13316 | Est igitur,inquit,"aliquis qui omnia posse homines putet?" |
13316 | Estne igitur,inquit,"quod in quantum naturaliter agat relicta subsistendi appetentia uenire ad interitum corruptionemque desideret?" |
13316 | Et qui fieri potest, ut principio cognito quis sit rerum finis ignores? 13316 Et qui i d,"inquam,"fieri potest?" |
13316 | Et quid,inquam,"tu in has exilii nostri solitudines o omnium magistra uirtutum supero cardine delapsa uenisti? |
13316 | Et quis erit,inquam,"praeter hos alius modus?" |
13316 | Hast thou also understood the causes why it is so? |
13316 | Have we not granted,quoth she,"that the good are happy, and the evil miserable?" |
13316 | Hocine interrogas an esse me sciam rationale animal atque mortale? 13316 How can that be?" |
13316 | How is this? |
13316 | How? |
13316 | How? |
13316 | How? |
13316 | If then,quoth she,"thou wert to examine this cause, whom wouldest thou appoint to be punished, him that did or that suffered wrong?" |
13316 | Illius igitur praesentiam huius absentiam desiderabas? |
13316 | Is the One the same as the Other? |
13316 | Is there any then,quoth she,"that think that men can do all things?" |
13316 | Is there anything,quoth she,"that in the course of nature, leaving the desire of being, seeketh to come to destruction and corruption?" |
13316 | It is good then? |
13316 | Ita est,inquam,"Quae uero aut exercet aut corrigit, prodest?" |
13316 | Nonne igitur bonum censes esse quod prodest? |
13316 | Nonne quia uel aberat quod abesse non uelles uel aderat quod adesse noluisses? |
13316 | Nonne,inquit,"beatitudinem bonum esse censemus?" |
13316 | Nostine igitur,inquit,"omne quod est tam diu manere atque subsistere quam diu sit unum, sed interire atque dissolui pariter atque unum destiterit?" |
13316 | Now thinkest thou, that which is of this sort ought to be despised, or rather that it is worthy to be respected above all other things? |
13316 | Now, what sayest thou to that pleasing fortune which is given in reward to the good, doth the common people account it bad? |
13316 | Num igitur deus facere malum potest? |
13316 | Num me,inquit,"fefellit abesse aliquid, per quod, uelut hiante ualli robore, in animum tuum perturbationum morbus inrepserit? |
13316 | Num recordaris beatitudinem ipsum esse bonum eoque modo, cum beatitudo petitur, ab omnibus desiderari bonum? |
13316 | O te alumne hac opinione felicem, si quidem hoc,inquit,"adieceris....""Quidnam?" |
13316 | Omnem,inquit,"improbum num supplicio dignum negas?" |
13316 | Omnes igitur homines boni pariter ac mali indiscreta intentione ad bonum peruenire nituntur? |
13316 | Quae igitur cum discrepant minime bona sunt, cum uero unum esse coeperint, bona fiunt; nonne haec ut bona sint, unitatis fieri adeptione contingit? |
13316 | Quaenam,inquit,"ista est? |
13316 | Quem uero effecisse quod uoluerit uideas, num etiam potuisse dubitabis? |
13316 | Qui igitur supplicio digni sunt miseros esse non dubitas? |
13316 | Qui uero eget aliquo, non est usquequaque sibi ipse sufficiens? |
13316 | Qui? |
13316 | Quid igitur homo sit, poterisne proferre? |
13316 | Quid igitur,inquam,"nihilne est quod uel casus uel fortuitum iure appellari queat? |
13316 | Quid igitur? |
13316 | Quid reliqua, quae cum sit aspera, iusto supplicio malos coercet, num bonam populus putat? |
13316 | Quid uero iucunda, quae in praemium tribuitur bonis, num uulgus malam esse decernit? |
13316 | Quid uero,inquit,"obscurumne hoc atque ignobile censes esse an omni celebritate clarissimum? |
13316 | Quid? |
13316 | Quid? |
13316 | Quid? |
13316 | Quid? |
13316 | Quid? |
13316 | Quidnam? |
13316 | Quidnam? |
13316 | Quidni fateare, cum eam cotidie ualentior aliquis eripiat inuito? 13316 Quidni,"inquam,"meminerim?" |
13316 | Quidni? |
13316 | Quidni? |
13316 | Quidni? |
13316 | Quis i d neget? |
13316 | Quis i d,inquam,"neget?" |
13316 | Quod igitur nullius egeat alieni, quod suis cuncta uiribus possit, quod sit clarum atque reuerendum, nonne hoc etiam constat esse laetissimum? |
13316 | Quod si conetur,ait,"num tandem proficiet quidquam aduersus eum quem iure beatitudinis potentissimum esse concessimus?" |
13316 | Quod uero huiusmodi sit, spernendumne esse censes an contra rerum omnium ueneratione dignissimum? |
13316 | Quonam modo? |
13316 | Quonam,inquam"modo?" |
13316 | Quonam,inquam,"modo?" |
13316 | Quonam,inquam,"modo?" |
13316 | Quonam? |
13316 | Sed dic mihi, quoniam deo mundum regi non ambigis, quibus etiam gubernaculis regatur aduertis? |
13316 | Sed omne quod bonum est boni participatione bonum esse concedis an minime? |
13316 | Sentisne,inquit,"haec atque animo inlabuntur tuo, an[ Greek: onos luras]? |
13316 | Shall we,quoth she,"frame our speech to the vulgar phrase, lest we seem to have as it were forsaken the use of human conversation?" |
13316 | Should I,saith she,"forsake thee, my disciple, and not divide the burden, which thou bearest through hatred of my name, by partaking of thy labour? |
13316 | Si igitur cognitor,ait,"resideres, cui supplicium inferendum putares, eine qui fecisset an qui pertulisset iniuriam?" |
13316 | So that every man needeth some other help to defend his money? |
13316 | So that thou feltest this insufficiency, even the height of thy wealth? |
13316 | The offerer of the injury then would seem to thee more miserable than the receiver? |
13316 | Then thou desiredst the presence of that, and the absence of this? |
13316 | Then you do not doubt that those who deserve punishment are wretched? |
13316 | Those things, then, which, when they differ, are not good and when they are one, become good, are they not made good by obtaining unity? |
13316 | Tu itaque hanc insufficientiam plenus,inquit,"opibus sustinebas?" |
13316 | Understandest thou these things,saith she,"and do they make impression in thy mind? |
13316 | Visne igitur,inquit,"paulisper uulgi sermonibus accedamus, ne nimium uelut ab humanitatis usu recessisse uideamur?" |
13316 | Was it not because thou either wantedst something which thou wouldst have had, or else hadst something which thou wouldst have wanted? |
13316 | Well then, canst thou explicate what man is? |
13316 | What if anything doth endeavour,quoth she,"can anything prevail against Him, whom we have granted to be most powerful by reason of His blessedness?" |
13316 | What is that? |
13316 | What is that? |
13316 | What now,quoth she,"thinkest thou this to be obscure and base, or rather most excellent and famous? |
13316 | What then,quoth I,"is there nothing that can rightly be called chance or fortune? |
13316 | What then? |
13316 | What? |
13316 | What? |
13316 | What? |
13316 | What? |
13316 | What? |
13316 | What? |
13316 | What? |
13316 | Whither? |
13316 | Who can deny that? |
13316 | Who denies that? |
13316 | Why not? |
13316 | Why not? |
13316 | Why not? |
13316 | Why should I not remember it? |
13316 | Why shouldst thou not grant it, since that every day those which are more potent take it from others perforce? 13316 Why?" |
13316 | Wilt thou deny,quoth she,"that the motion of walking is agreeable to the nature of men?" |
13316 | ''For what cause, O man, chargest thou me with daily complaints? |
13316 | ''Quid tu homo ream me cotidianis agis querelis? |
13316 | 10 Quid tantum miseri saeuos tyrannos Mirantur sine uiribus furentes? |
13316 | 10 Sed cur tanto flagrat amore Veri tectas reperire notas? |
13316 | 10 Vis aptam meritis uicem referre? |
13316 | 15 Quis enim quidquam nescius optet Aut quis ualeat nescita sequi? |
13316 | 20 Quid me felicem totiens iactastis amici? |
13316 | 5 An nulla est discordia ueris Semperque sibi certa cohaerent? |
13316 | Agnoscisne me? |
13316 | Am I deceived in this? |
13316 | An claritudo nihili pendenda est? |
13316 | An cum mentem cerneret altam, 20 Pariter summam et singula norat? |
13316 | An distant quia dissidentque mores, Iniustas acies et fera bella mouent Alternisque uolunt perire telis? |
13316 | An ego sola meum ius exercere prohibebor? |
13316 | An est aliquid, tametsi uulgus lateat, cui uocabula ista conueniant?" |
13316 | An gemmarum fulgor oculos trahit? |
13316 | An ignoras illam tuae ciuitatis antiquissimam legem, qua sanctum est ei ius exulare non esse quisquis in ea sedem fundare maluerit? |
13316 | An illos accusatores iustos fecit praemissa damnatio? |
13316 | An in bonis non est numeranda potentia? |
13316 | An optasse illius ordinis salutem nefas uocabo? |
13316 | An praesidio sunt amici quos non uirtus sed fortuna conciliat? |
13316 | An quia inrationabiles substantiae non possunt habere personam qua[64] Christi uocabulum excipere possint[65]? |
13316 | An scientes uolentesque bonum deserunt, ad uitia deflectunt? |
13316 | An sectanda nouerunt? |
13316 | An tu aliter existimas?" |
13316 | An tu arbitraris quod nihilo indigeat egere potentia?" |
13316 | An tu in hanc uitae scaenam nunc primum subitus hospesque uenisti? |
13316 | An tu mores ignorabas meos? |
13316 | An tu potentem censes quem uideas uelle quod non possit efficere? |
13316 | An ubi Romani nominis transire fama nequit, Romani hominis gloria progredietur? |
13316 | An uel si amiserit, neglegendum putat? |
13316 | An uernis floribus ipse distingueris aut tua in aestiuos fructus intumescit ubertas? |
13316 | An uero te longus ordo famulorum facit esse felicem? |
13316 | An uero tu pretiosam aestimas abituram felicitatem? |
13316 | An uos agrorum pulchritudo delectat? |
13316 | An ut tu quoque mecum rea falsis criminationibus agiteris? |
13316 | And after what manner do riches expel penury? |
13316 | And except they be all one and the same thing, that they have nothing worth the desiring?" |
13316 | And how far doth this error of yours extend, who think that any can be adorned with the ornaments of another? |
13316 | And if there be no God, from whence cometh any good?'' |
13316 | And if there is nothing in these worthy to be desired, why art thou either glad when thou hast them or sorry when thou losest them? |
13316 | And if they light upon wicked men, what Aetnas, belching flames, or what deluge can cause so great harms? |
13316 | And if this strength of kingdoms be the author of blessedness, doth it not diminish happiness and bring misery, when it is in any way defective? |
13316 | And is the present fortune dear unto thee, of whose stay thou art not sure, and whose departure will breed thy grief? |
13316 | And shall the insatiable desire of men tie me to constancy, so contrary to my custom? |
13316 | And then she said:"Thinkest thou that this world is governed by haphazard and chance? |
13316 | And what if they were destitute of this so great and almost invincible help of the direction of nature? |
13316 | And what plague is able to hurt us more than a familiar enemy? |
13316 | And when, we answer, will this not be so? |
13316 | And who either conserveth goodness or expelleth evils, but God the Ruler and Governor of men''s minds? |
13316 | Are riches precious in virtue either of their own nature or of yours? |
13316 | Are these the rewards which thy obedient servants have? |
13316 | Are they not thirsty? |
13316 | Are we the better for those friends which love us not for our virtue but for our prosperity? |
13316 | Art thou come to bear me company in being falsely accused?" |
13316 | Art thou thyself adorned with May flowers? |
13316 | Art thou''like the ass, deaf to the lyre''? |
13316 | At cuius praemii? |
13316 | At si ad hominum iudicia reuertar, quis ille est cui haec non credenda modo sed saltem audienda uideantur?" |
13316 | At si nescit, quid caeca petit? |
13316 | At si noua ueraque non ex homine sumpta caro formata est, quo tanta tragoedia generationis? |
13316 | At si quando, quod perrarum est, probis deferantur, quid in eis aliud quam probitas utentium placet? |
13316 | At si quem sapientia praeditum uideres, num posses eum uel reuerentia uel ea qua est praeditus sapientia non dignum putare? |
13316 | Auaritia feruet alienarum opum uiolentus ereptor? |
13316 | Aut quid habeat amplum magnificumque gloria tam angustis exiguisque limitibus artata? |
13316 | Aut quid hoc refert uaticinio illo ridiculo Tiresiae? |
13316 | Because their famous names in books we read, Come we by them to know the dead? |
13316 | Because this soul the highest mind did view, Must we needs say that it all nature knew? |
13316 | Bona uero unde, si non est?'' |
13316 | But I pray thee, leavest thou no punishments for the souls after the death of the body?" |
13316 | But I would have thee answer me to this also; dost thou remember that thou art a man?" |
13316 | But are men so completely wise that whomsoever they judge wicked or honest must needs be so? |
13316 | But by whose accusations did I receive this blow? |
13316 | But did I deserve the same of the Senators themselves? |
13316 | But do they always last among them where they had their beginning? |
13316 | But how is it possible those things should not happen which are foreseen to be to come? |
13316 | But if I return to the judgments of men, who is there that will think them worthy to be believed or so much as heard?" |
13316 | But if flesh had been formed new and real and not taken from man, to what purpose was the tremendous tragedy of the conception? |
13316 | But if thou seest any man endued with wisdom, canst thou esteem him unworthy of that respect or wisdom which he hath? |
13316 | But in this rank of coherent causes, have we any free- will, or doth the fatal chain fasten also the motions of men''s minds?" |
13316 | But in what Scriptures is the name of Christ ever made double? |
13316 | But now have you laid hold of him who hath been brought up in Eleatical and Academical studies? |
13316 | But now, if we follow Nestorius, what happens that is new? |
13316 | But tell me, dost thou remember what is the end of things? |
13316 | But thou wilt say,''If it is in my power to change my purpose, shall I frustrate providence if I chance to alter those things which she foreknoweth?'' |
13316 | But what crime was laid to my charge? |
13316 | But what great or heroical matter can that glory have, which is pent up in so small and narrow bounds? |
13316 | But what if thou hast tasted more abundantly of the good? |
13316 | But what is more devoid of strength than blind ignorance? |
13316 | But what is this excellent power which you esteemed so desirable? |
13316 | But what reward hath he? |
13316 | But who would not despise and neglect the service of so vile and frail a thing as his body? |
13316 | But why should he call God Himself by the name of Christ? |
13316 | But wilt thou have our arguments contend together? |
13316 | By ignorance of that which is good? |
13316 | Can they therefore behold, as is wo nt to be said of bodies, that inward complexion of souls? |
13316 | Canst thou ever imperiously impose anything upon a free mind? |
13316 | Canst thou remove a soul settled in firm reason from the quiet state which it possesseth? |
13316 | Celsa num tandem ualuit potestas Vertere praui rabiem Neronis? |
13316 | Comest thou now first as a pilgrim and stranger into the theatre of this life? |
13316 | Consider you not, O earthly wights, whom you seem to excel? |
13316 | Could Nestorius, I ask, dare to call the one man and the one God in Christ two Christs? |
13316 | Could so many dangers ever make thee think to bear office with Decoratus,[124] having discovered him to be a very varlet and spy? |
13316 | Could this glorious might Restrain the furious rage of wicked Nero''s spite? |
13316 | Cur enim flammas quidem sursum leuitas uehit, terras uero deorsum pondus deprimit, nisi quod haec singulis loca motionesque conueniunt? |
13316 | Cur enim omnino duos audeat Christos uocare, unum hominem alium deum? |
13316 | Cur enim relicta uirtute uitia sectantur? |
13316 | Cur inertes Terga nudatis? |
13316 | Cur ita prouenit? |
13316 | Cur uero non elementa quoque ipsa simili audeat appellare uocabulo per quae deus mira quaedam cotidianis motibus operatur? |
13316 | Darest thou boast of the beauty which any of them have? |
13316 | Deo uero atque homini quid non erit diuersa ratione disiunctum, si sub diuersitate naturae personarum quoque credatur mansisse discretio? |
13316 | Deum uero ipsum Christi appellatione cur uocet? |
13316 | Did my dealing deserve it? |
13316 | Didst thou not know my fashion? |
13316 | Didst thou not learn in thy youth that there lay two barrels, the one of good things and the other of bad,[105] at Jupiter''s threshold? |
13316 | Dignitatibus fulgere uelis? |
13316 | Diuitiaene uel uestra uel sui natura pretiosae sunt? |
13316 | Do any of these belong to thee? |
13316 | Does this square with catholic doctrine? |
13316 | Dost thou esteem it a small benefit that this rough and harsh Fortune hath made known unto thee the minds of thy faithful friends? |
13316 | Dost thou esteem that happiness precious which thou art to lose? |
13316 | Dost thou not know me? |
13316 | Doth not the very countenance of this place move thee? |
13316 | Doth the glittering of jewels draw thy eyes after them? |
13316 | Doth the light and unconstant change his courses? |
13316 | Doth the outrageous fret and fume? |
13316 | Doth the pleasant prospect of the fields delight you? |
13316 | Doth the treacherous fellow rejoice that he hath deceived others with his hidden frauds? |
13316 | Ea etiam quae inanimata esse creduntur nonne quod suum est quaeque simili ratione desiderant? |
13316 | Endeavourest thou to stay the force of the turning wheel? |
13316 | Estne aliquid tibi te ipso pretiosius? |
13316 | Et illa:"Bonos,"inquit,"esse felices, malos uero miseros nonne concessimus?" |
13316 | Et illa:"Nihilne aliud te esse nouisti?" |
13316 | Et quid si hoc tam magno ac paene inuicto praeeuntis naturae desererentur auxilio? |
13316 | Ex meane dispositione scientia diuina mutabitur, ut cum ego nunc hoc nunc aliud uelim, illa quoque noscendi uices alternare uideatur? |
13316 | Fatebimur? |
13316 | Ferox atque inquies linguam litigiis exercet? |
13316 | First then, I ask thee thyself, who not long since didst abound with wealth; in that plenty of riches, was thy mind never troubled with any injuries?" |
13316 | Foedis inmundisque libidinibus immergitur? |
13316 | For are not rich men hungry? |
13316 | For being askt how can we answer true Unless that grace within our hearts did dwell? |
13316 | For can you be bigger than elephants, or stronger than bulls? |
13316 | For dost thou think that this is the first time that Wisdom hath been exposed to danger by wicked men? |
13316 | For doth thy sight impose any necessity upon those things which thou seest present?" |
13316 | For from whence proceed so many complaints in law, but that money gotten either by violence or deceit is sought to be recovered by that means?" |
13316 | For seem they to err who endeavour to want nothing? |
13316 | For what is there wanting life and members that may justly seem beautiful to a nature not only endued with life but also with reason? |
13316 | For what liberty remaineth there to be hoped for? |
13316 | For what place can confusion have, since God disposeth all things in due order? |
13316 | For what should I speak of kings''followers, since I show that kingdoms themselves are so full of weakness? |
13316 | For what? |
13316 | For who but a very fool would hate the good? |
13316 | For who hath so entire happiness that he is not in some part offended with the condition of his estate? |
13316 | For why do they follow vices, forsaking virtues? |
13316 | For why doth levity lift up flames, or heaviness weigh down the earth, but because these places and motions are convenient for them? |
13316 | For why should I speak of those feigned letters, in which I am charged to have hoped for Roman liberty? |
13316 | For why should slippery chance Rule all things with such doubtful governance? |
13316 | For, since nothing can be imagined better than God, who doubteth but that is good than which is nothing better? |
13316 | Gloriam petas? |
13316 | Haecine est bibliotheca, quam certissimam tibi sedem nostris in laribus ipsa delegeras? |
13316 | Haecine omnia bonum-- sufficientia potentia ceteraque-- ueluti quaedam beatitudinis membra sunt an ad bonum ueluti ad uerticem cuncta referuntur?" |
13316 | Haecine praemia referimus tibi obsequentes? |
13316 | Hast thou forgotten how many ways, and in what degree thou art happy? |
13316 | Have I now made clear the difference between the categories? |
13316 | Have offices that force to plant virtues and expel vices in the minds of those who have them? |
13316 | Have we not in ancient times before our Plato''s age had oftentimes great conflicts with the rashness of folly? |
13316 | Have we not placed sufficiency in happiness, and granted that God is blessedness itself?" |
13316 | Have you no proper and inward good, that you seek your goods in those things which are outward and separated from you? |
13316 | Heu primus quis fuit ille Auri qui pondera tecti Gemmasque latere uolentes Pretiosa pericula fodit? |
13316 | Hisne accedamus quos beluis similes esse monstrauimus? |
13316 | Hoc uero qui fieri potest, si diuinitas in generatione Christi et humanam animam suscepit et corpus? |
13316 | How cometh this to pass? |
13316 | How doth God foreknow that these uncertain things shall be? |
13316 | How many are there, thinkest thou, which would think themselves almost in Heaven if they had but the least part of the remains of thy fortune? |
13316 | How often have I encountered with Conigastus, violently possessing himself with poor men''s goods? |
13316 | How often have I put back Triguilla, Provost of the King''s house, from injuries which he had begun, yea, and finished also? |
13316 | How shall she find them out? |
13316 | How should I curse these fools? |
13316 | Hunc uero Eleaticis atque Academicis studiis innutritum? |
13316 | Iam uero quam sit inane quam futtile nobilitatis nomen, quis non uideat? |
13316 | Iamne igitur uides quid haec omnia quae diximus consequatur?" |
13316 | Iamne patet quae sit differentia praedicationum? |
13316 | If heretofore one had care of the people''s provision, he was accounted a great man; now what is more abject than that office? |
13316 | If it was the manhood of that man from whom all men descend, what manhood did divinity invest? |
13316 | If not, what estate can be blessed by ignorant blindness? |
13316 | If she knows not, why strives she with blind pain? |
13316 | If she knows that which she doth so require, Why wisheth she known things to know again? |
13316 | In hoc igitur minimo puncti quodam puncto circumsaepti atque conclusi de peruulganda fama, de proferendo nomine cogitatis? |
13316 | In qua mecum saepe residens de humanarum diuinarumque rerum scientia disserebas? |
13316 | Infitiabimur crimen, ne tibi pudor simus? |
13316 | Inscitiane bonorum? |
13316 | Insidiator occultus subripuisse fraudibus gaudet? |
13316 | Inter eos uero apud quos ortae sunt, num perpetuo perdurant? |
13316 | Irae intemperans fremit? |
13316 | Is he drowned in filthy and unclean lusts? |
13316 | Is it because irrational substances can not possess a Person enabling them to receive the name of Christ? |
13316 | Is it shamefastness or insensibleness that makes thee silent? |
13316 | Is not the operation of God seen plainly in men of holy life and notable piety? |
13316 | Is the angry and unquiet man always contending and brawling? |
13316 | Is the fearful and timorous afraid without cause? |
13316 | Is the slow and stupid always idle? |
13316 | Is the violent extorter of other men''s goods carried away with his covetous desire? |
13316 | Is there anything more precious to thee than thyself? |
13316 | Itane autem nullum est proprium uobis atque insitum bonum ut in externis ac sepositis rebus bona uestra quaeratis? |
13316 | Itane nihil fortunam puduit si minus accusatae innocentiae, at accusantium uilitatis? |
13316 | Leuis atque inconstans studia permutat? |
13316 | Likewise, who seeth not what a vain and idle thing it is to be called noble? |
13316 | May I seem to have provoked enmity enough against myself? |
13316 | Modum desideras? |
13316 | Must I only be forbidden to use my right? |
13316 | My friends, why did you count me fortunate? |
13316 | Nam bonos quis nisi stultissimus oderit? |
13316 | Nam cum nihil deo melius excogitari queat, i d quo melius nihil est bonum esse quis dubitet? |
13316 | Nam cur rogati sponte recta censetis, Ni mersus alto uiueret fomes corde? |
13316 | Nam cur tantas lubrica uersat Fortuna uices? |
13316 | Nam de compositis falso litteris quibus libertatem arguor sperasse Romanam quid attinet dicere? |
13316 | Nam quae sperari reliqua libertas potest? |
13316 | Nam quid ego de regum familiaribus disseram, cum regna ipsa tantae inbecillitatis plena demonstrem? |
13316 | Nesciebas Croesum regem Lydorum Cyro paulo ante formidabilem mox deinde miserandum rogi flammis traditum misso caelitus imbre defensum? |
13316 | Nihilne te ipsa loci facies mouet? |
13316 | Nonne adulescentulus[ Greek: doious pithous ton men hena kakon ton d''heteron eaon] in Iouis limine iacere didicisti? |
13316 | Nonne in beatitudine sufficientiam numerauimus deumque beatitudinem ipsam esse consensimus?" |
13316 | Nonne in sanctis hominibus ac pietate conspicuis apertus diuinitatis actus agnoscitur? |
13316 | Nonne, o terrena animalia, consideratis quibus qui praesidere uideamini? |
13316 | Nos ad constantiam nostris moribus alienam inexpleta hominum cupiditas alligabit? |
13316 | Nostraene artes ita meruerunt? |
13316 | Now doth necessity compel any of these things to be done in this sort?" |
13316 | Now what should I speak of bodily pleasures, the desire of which is full of anxiety, and the enjoying of them breeds repentance? |
13316 | Now, how can any man exercise jurisdiction upon anybody except upon their bodies, and that which is inferior to their bodies, I mean their fortunes? |
13316 | Now, what desire you with such loud praise of fortune? |
13316 | Now, what is the health of souls but virtue? |
13316 | Now, what is there that any can enforce upon another which he may not himself be enforced to sustain by another? |
13316 | Now, why should I discourse of dignities and power which you, not knowing what true dignity and power meaneth, exalt to the skies? |
13316 | Num audes alicuius talium splendore gloriari? |
13316 | Num enim diuites esurire nequeunt? |
13316 | Num enim elephantos mole, tauros robore superare poteritis, num tigres uelocitate praeibitis? |
13316 | Num enim quae praesentia cernis, aliquam eis necessitatem tuus addit intuitus?" |
13316 | Num enim tu aliunde argumentum futurorum necessitatis trahis, nisi quod ea quae praesciuntur non euenire non possunt? |
13316 | Num enim uidentur errare hi qui nihilo indigere nituntur? |
13316 | Num frigus hibernum pecuniosorum membra non sentiunt? |
13316 | Num i d mentior? |
13316 | Num igitur ea mentis integritate homines degunt, ut quos probos improbosue censuerunt eos quoque uti existimant esse necesse sit? |
13316 | Num igitur quantum ad hoc attinet, quae ex arbitrio eueniunt ad necessitatem cogantur?" |
13316 | Num igitur quidquam illorum ita fieri necessitas ulla compellit?" |
13316 | Num imbecillum ac sine uiribus aestimandum est, quod omnibus rebus constat esse praestantius? |
13316 | Num ita quasi cum duo corpora sibimet apponuntur, ut tantum locis iuncta sint et nihil in alterum ex alterius qualitate perueniat? |
13316 | Num mentem firma sibi ratione cohaerentem de statu propriae quietis amouebis? |
13316 | Num quidquam libero imperabis animo? |
13316 | Num sitire non possunt? |
13316 | Num te horum aliquid attingit? |
13316 | Num te praeterit Paulum Persi regis a se capti calamitatibus pias inpendisse lacrimas? |
13316 | Num uero labuntur hi qui quod sit optimum, i d etiam reuerentiae cultu dignissimum putent? |
13316 | Num uis ea est magistratibus ut utentium mentibus uirtutes inserant uitia depellant? |
13316 | Nunc enim primum censes apud inprobos mores lacessitam periculis esse sapientiam? |
13316 | Or by what skill are several things espied? |
13316 | Or did the condemnation, which went before, make them just accusers? |
13316 | Or do they err who take that which is best to be likewise most worthy of respect? |
13316 | Or do they know what they should embrace, but passion driveth them headlong the contrary way? |
13316 | Or do they wittingly and willingly forsake goodness, and decline to vices? |
13316 | Or doth much money make the owners senseless of cold in winter? |
13316 | Or doth the multitude of servants make thee happy? |
13316 | Or doth thy fertility teem with the fruits of summer? |
13316 | Or having so, How shall she then their forms and natures know? |
13316 | Or in true things can we no discord see, Because all certainties do still agree? |
13316 | Or in what is this better than that ridiculous prophecy of Tiresias"Whatsoever I say shall either be or not be"[172]? |
13316 | Or is fame to be contemned? |
13316 | Or is not power to be esteemed good? |
13316 | Or is there something, though unknown to the common sort, to which these names agree?" |
13316 | Or rather dost thou believe that it is ruled by reason?" |
13316 | Or swifter than tigers? |
13316 | Or though he should lose it, doth he think that a thing of no moment? |
13316 | Or to what the whole intention of nature tendeth?" |
13316 | Or what is it to thee, if they be precious by nature? |
13316 | Or what new thing has been wrought by the coming of the Saviour? |
13316 | Or why should punishments, Due to the guilty, light on innocents? |
13316 | Or will such ignorant pursuit maintain? |
13316 | Ought, then, by parity of reason, all things to be just because He is just who willed them to be? |
13316 | Pauidus ac fugax non metuenda formidat? |
13316 | Pecuniamne congregare conaberis? |
13316 | Perceivest thou now what followeth of all that we have hitherto said?" |
13316 | Plures enim magnum saepe nomen falsis uulgi opinionibus abstulerunt; quo quid turpius excogitari potest? |
13316 | Postremo cum omne praemium idcirco appetatur quoniam bonum esse creditur, quis boni compotem praemii iudicet expertem? |

13316 | Potentiamne desideras? |

13316 | Pudore an stupore siluisti? |
13316 | Quae diuisa recolligit 20 Alternumque legens iter Nunc summis caput inserit, Nunc decedit in infima, Tum sese referens sibi Veris falsa redarguit? |
13316 | Quae est igitur facta hominis deique coniunctio? |
13316 | Quae est igitur haec potestas quae sollicitudinum morsus expellere, quae formidinum aculeos uitare nequit? |

13316 | Quae omnia non modo ad tempus manendi uerum generatim quoque quasi in perpetuum permanendi ueluti quasdam machinas esse quis nesciat? |
13316 | Quae si in improbissimum quemque ceciderunt, quae flammis Aetnae eructuantibus, quod diluuium tantas strages dederint? |

13316 | Quae tua tibi detraximus bona? |
13316 | Quae uero est ista uestra expetibilis ac praeclara potentia? |

13316 | Quae uero, inquies, potest ulla iniquior esse confusio, quam ut bonis tum aduersa tum prospera, malis etiam tum optata tum odiosa contingant? |

13316 | Quamquam quid ipsa scripta proficiant, quae cum suis auctoribus premit longior atque obscura uetustas? |
13316 | Quando enim non fuit diuinitatis propria humanitatisque persona? |
13316 | Quando uero non erit? |
13316 | Quare si opes nec submouere possunt indigentiam et ipsae suam faciunt, quid est quod eas sufficientiam praestare credatis? |
13316 | Quare si quid ita futurum est ut eius certus ac necessarius non sit euentus, i d euenturum esse praesciri qui poterit? |

13316 | Quis enim coercente in ordinem cuncta deo locus esse ullus temeritati reliquus potest? |
13316 | Quis est enim tam conpositae felicitatis ut non aliqua ex parte cum status sui qualitate rixetur? |
13316 | Quis est ille tam felix qui cum dederit inpatientiae manus, statum suum mutare non optet? |
13316 | Quis illos igitur putet beatos Quos miseri tribuunt honores? |
13316 | Quis legem det amantibus? |
13316 | Quis non te felicissimum cum tanto splendore socerorum, cum coniugis pudore, cum masculae quoque prolis opportunitate praedicauit? |

13316 | Sed dic mihi, meministine, quis sit rerum finis, quoue totius naturae tendat intentio?" |
13316 | Sed hoc quoque respondeas uelim, hominemne te esse meministi?" |
13316 | Sed in hac haerentium sibi serie causarum estne ulla nostri arbitrii libertas an ipsos quoque humanorum motus animorum fatalis catena constringit?" |
13316 | Sed num idem de patribus quoque merebamur? |
13316 | Sed num in his eam reperiet, quae demonstrauimus i d quod pollicentur non posse conferre?" |
13316 | Sed quaeso,"inquam,"te, nullane animarum supplicia post defunctum morte corpus relinquis?" |
13316 | Sed quemadmodum bona sint, inquirendum est, utrumne participatione an substantia? |

13316 | Sed uisne rationes ipsas inuicem collidamus? |
13316 | Seekest thou for glory? |
13316 | Seest thou now how all these in knowing do rather use their own force and faculty than the force of those things which are known? |
13316 | Seest thou then in what mire wickedness wallows, and how clearly honesty shineth? |
13316 | Seest thou therefore how strait and narrow that glory is which you labour to enlarge and increase? |
13316 | Segnis ac stupidus torpit? |
13316 | Shall I call it an offence to have wished the safety of that order? |
13316 | Shall I confess it? |
13316 | Shall I deny this charge, that I may not shame thee? |
13316 | Shall we join ourselves to them whom we have proved to be like beasts? |
13316 | Should I fear any accusations, as though this were any new matter? |
13316 | Si eo de cuius semine ductus est homo, quem uestita diuinitas est? |
13316 | Si nescit, quaenam beata sors esse potest ignorantiae caecitate? |
13316 | Si non confitetur ex ea traxisse, dicat quo homine indutus aduenerit, utrumne eo qui deciderat praeuaricatione peccati an alio? |
13316 | Sic rerum uersa condicio est ut diuinum merito rationis animal non aliter sibi splendere nisi inanimatae supellectilis possessione uideatur? |
13316 | Supposest thou to find any constancy in human affairs, since that man himself is soon gone? |
13316 | Tell me, since thou doubtest not that the world is governed by God, canst thou tell me also by what means it is governed?" |
13316 | Than which what can be imagined more vile? |
13316 | That things which severally well settled be Yet joined in one will never friendly prove? |
13316 | The gold or the heaps of money? |
13316 | Thinkest thou him mighty whom thou seest desire that which he can not do? |
13316 | Thinkest thou otherwise?" |
13316 | Thinkest thou that which needeth nothing, to stand in need of power?" |
13316 | Those things also which are thought to be without all life, doth not every one in like manner desire that which appertaineth to their own good? |
13316 | Thou to that certain end Governest all things; deniest Thou to intend The acts of men alone, Directing them in measure from Thy throne? |
13316 | Though what do writings themselves avail which perish, as well as their authors, by continuance and obscurity of time? |
13316 | To which she replied:"Dost thou not know thyself to be anything else?" |
13316 | Tu uero uoluentis rotae impetum retinere conaris? |
13316 | Tum ego collecto in uires animo:"Anne adhuc eget admonitione nec per se satis eminet fortunae in nos saeuientis asperitas? |
13316 | Tum illa,"Quanti,"inquit,"aestimabis, si bonum ipsum quid sit agnoueris?" |
13316 | Tum illa:"Huncine,"inquit,"mundum temerariis agi fortuitisque casibus putas, an ullum credis ei regimen inesse rationis?" |
13316 | V. An uero regna regumque familiaritas efficere potentem ualet? |
13316 | V. But can kingdoms and the familiarity of kings make a man mighty? |
13316 | Vbi ambitus passionis? |
13316 | Vbi nunc fidelis ossa Fabricii manent, 15 Quid Brutus aut rigidus Cato? |
13316 | Vel quid amplius in Iesu generatione contingit quam in cuiuslibet alterius, si discretis utrisque personis discretae etiam fuere naturae? |
13316 | Verumtamen ne te existimari miserum uelis, an numerum modumque tuae felicitatis oblitus es? |
13316 | Videsne igitur quam sit angusta, quam compressa gloria quam dilatare ac propagare laboratis? |
13316 | Videsne igitur quanto in caeno probra uoluantur, qua probitas luce resplendeat? |
13316 | Videsne igitur ut in cognoscendo cuncta sua potius facultate quam eorum quae cognoscuntur utantur? |
13316 | Videsne quantum malis dedecus adiciant dignitates? |
13316 | Visne igitur cum fortuna calculum ponere? |
13316 | Vllamne humanis rebus inesse constantiam reris, cum ipsum saepe hominem uelox hora dissoluat? |
13316 | Vllamne igitur eius hominis potentiam putas, qui quod ipse in alio potest, ne i d in se alter ualeat efficere non possit? |
13316 | Vnde enim forenses querimoniae nisi quod uel ui uel fraude nolentibus pecuniae repetuntur ereptae?" |
13316 | Vnde haud iniuria tuorum quidam familiarium quaesiuit:''Si quidem deus,''inquit,''est, unde mala? |
13316 | Voluptariam uitam degas? |
13316 | Was not fortune ashamed, if not that innocency was accused, yet at least that it had so vile and base accusers? |
13316 | Well, when had not divinity and humanity each its proper Person? |
13316 | What God between two truths such wars doth move? |
13316 | What bridle can contain in bounds this their contentless will, When filled with riches they retain the thirst of having more? |
13316 | What cause of discord breaks the bands of love? |
13316 | What could be added to this severity? |
13316 | What goods of thine have I taken from thee? |
13316 | What if I be not wholly gone from thee? |
13316 | What if this mutability of mine be a just cause for thee to hope for better? |
13316 | What injury have I done thee? |
13316 | What kind of union, then, between God and man has been effected? |
13316 | What might be the reason of this? |
13316 | What part of them can be so esteemed of? |
13316 | What sickness have they but vices? |
13316 | What then, if sense and imagination repugn to discourse and reason, affirming that universality to be nothing which reason thinketh herself to see? |
13316 | What then? |
13316 | What then? |
13316 | What then? |
13316 | What thinkest thou, O Mistress? |
13316 | What? |
13316 | When they ask"Is the Father the same as the Son?" |
13316 | Whence not without cause one of thy familiar friends[95] demanded:''If,''saith he,''there be a God, from whence proceed so many evils? |
13316 | Where the fame of the Roman name could not pass, can the glory of a Roman man penetrate? |
13316 | Where the value of His long Passion? |
13316 | Whereas, if thou weighest attentively the infinite spaces of eternity, what cause hast thou to rejoice at the prolonging of thy name? |
13316 | Wherefore if riches can neither remove wants, and cause some themselves, why imagine you that they can cause sufficiency? |
13316 | Wherefore lamentest thou? |
13316 | Wherefore what power is this that the possessors fear, which when thou wilt have, thou art not secure, and when thou wilt leave, thou canst not avoid? |
13316 | Wherefore, O man, what is it that hath cast thee into sorrow and grief? |
13316 | Wherefore, O mortal men, why seek you for your felicity abroad, which is placed within yourselves? |
13316 | Wherefore, enclosed and shut up in this smallest point of that other point, do you think of extending your fame and enlarging your name? |
13316 | Wherefore, what matter is it whether thou by dying leavest it, or it forsaketh thee by flying? |
13316 | Who after things unknown will strive to go? |
13316 | Who can for lovers laws indite? |
13316 | Who esteemed thee not most happy, having so noble a father- in- law, so chaste a wife, and so noble sons? |
13316 | Who is so happy that if he yieldeth to discontent, desireth not to change his estate? |
13316 | Who knows where faithful Fabrice''bones are pressed, Where Brutus and strict Cato rest? |
13316 | Who would esteem of fading honours then Which may be given thus by the wickedest men? |
13316 | Why brag you of your stock? |
13316 | Why do fierce tyrants us affright, Whose rage is far beyond their might? |
13316 | Why do proud men scorn that their necks should bear That yoke which every man must wear? |
13316 | Why dost thou not speak? |
13316 | Why embracest thou outward goods as if they were thine own? |
13316 | Why not, when their felicity lasteth always? |
13316 | Why not? |
13316 | Why not? |
13316 | Why rejoicest thou vainly? |
13316 | Why sheddest thou so many tears? |
13316 | Why should he not go on to call the very elements by that name? |
13316 | Why should we strive to die so many ways, And slay ourselves with our own hands? |
13316 | Why then, the hidden notes of things to find, Doth she with such a love of truth desire? |
13316 | Why weepest thou? |
13316 | Why, then, is that to be accounted feeble and of no force, which manifestly surpasses all other things? |
13316 | Wilt thou endeavour to gather money? |
13316 | Wilt thou excel in dignities? |
13316 | Wilt thou have it in one word? |
13316 | Wilt thou know the manner how? |
13316 | Wilt thou live a voluptuous life? |
13316 | Wilt thou then reckon with fortune? |
13316 | Wishest thou for power? |
13316 | Would those things which proceed from free- will be compelled to any necessity by this means?" |
13316 | Wouldst thou give due desert to all? |
13316 | Yet how can this be if Godhead in the conception of Christ received both human soul and body? |
13316 | You gallant men pursue this way of high renown, Why yield you? |
13316 | [ 103] Hast thou forgotten how Paul piously bewailed the calamities of King Perses his prisoner? |
13316 | [ 104] What other thing doth the outcry of tragedies lament, but that fortune, having no respect, overturneth happy states? |
13316 | [ 123] Seest thou what great ignominy dignities heap upon evil men? |
13316 | [ 125] What power is this, then, which can not expel nor avoid biting cares and pricking fears? |
13316 | [ 153] Do they such wars unjustly wage, Because their lives and manners disagree, And so themselves with mutual weapons kill? |
13316 | [ 86] At cuius criminis arguimur summam quaeris? |
13316 | or in what shall the divine providence exceed human opinion, if, as men, God judgeth those things to be uncertain the event of which is doubtful? |
14988 | Ay,says Diagoras,"I see those who were saved, but where are those painted who were shipwrecked?" |
14988 | How am I then injured by being torn by those animals, if I have no sensation? |
14988 | How can I, when I do not know how learned or how good a man he is? |
14988 | How can you do that,they answer,"for you will not perceive them?" |
14988 | Is Archelaus, then, miserable? |
14988 | What are they? |
14988 | What do you mean? |
14988 | What less than this,says Aristotle,"could be inscribed on the tomb, not of a king, but an ox?" |
14988 | You can not, then, pronounce of the great king of the Persians whether he is happy or not? |
14988 | After all, what kind of a Deity must that be who is not graced with one single virtue, if we should succeed in forming this idea of such a one? |
14988 | Am I superior to Plato in eloquence? |
14988 | And Africanus boasts, Who, from beyond Mæotis to the place Where the sun rises, deeds like mine can trace? |
14988 | And as I continued to observe the earth with great attention, How long, I pray you, said Africanus, will your mind be fixed on that object? |
14988 | And as to other things, do not Epicurus and the rest of the philosophers seem sufficiently prepared? |
14988 | And as to the men, what shall I say? |
14988 | And can you, then, refuse to acknowledge also Codrus, and many others who shed their blood for the preservation of their country? |
14988 | And do we not see what the Lacedæmonians provide in their Phiditia? |
14988 | And do you set bounds to vice? |
14988 | And does it become a philosopher to boast that he is not afraid of these things, and that he has discovered them to be false? |
14988 | And if Hecate is a Goddess, how can you refuse that rank to the Eumenides? |
14988 | And if that really is the case-- for I say nothing either way-- what is there agreeable or glorious in it? |
14988 | And if the constant course of future time is to resemble that night, who is happier than I am? |
14988 | And if these are the effects of virtue, why can not virtue itself make men happy? |
14988 | And if they are admitted, what reason have we to reject the Gods of the barbarians? |
14988 | And in this state of things where can the evil be, since death has no connection with either the living or the dead? |
14988 | And is not the art of the soothsayers divine? |
14988 | And must not every one who sees what innumerable instances of the same kind there are confess the existence of the Gods? |
14988 | And shall not the great man found laws, institutions, and a republic? |
14988 | And should you observe any one of your friends under affliction, would you rather prescribe him a sturgeon than a treatise of Socrates? |
14988 | And thus there will be something better than a happy life: but what can be more absurd than such an assertion? |
14988 | And to what purpose? |
14988 | And what are those things of more consequence? |
14988 | And what is it that constitutes the happiness which you assert that he enjoys? |
14988 | And when it is thus explained, what can a warrior, a commander, or an orator want more? |
14988 | And where do the multitude of Gods dwell, if heaven itself is a Deity? |
14988 | And wherein doth poverty prevent us from being happy? |
14988 | And who is there whom pain may not befall? |
14988 | And whose images are they? |
14988 | And why should I be uneasy it I were to expect that some nation might possess itself of this city ten thousand years hence? |
14988 | And why should we worship them from an admiration only of that nature in which we can behold nothing excellent? |
14988 | And why so? |
14988 | And, again, how are we to conceive how much it is able to contain? |
14988 | Anything sudden or unforeseen? |
14988 | Are any of them hook- nosed, flap- eared, beetle- browed, or jolt- headed, as some of us are? |
14988 | Are not their opinions subversive of all religion? |
14988 | Are these parts necessary to immortality? |
14988 | Are these the good things which remove the most afflicting grief? |
14988 | Are these your words or not? |
14988 | Are they afraid of any attacks or blows? |
14988 | Are they all alike in the face? |
14988 | Are they conducive to the existence of the Deity? |
14988 | Are we to suppose the divine seed fell from heaven upon earth, and that men sprung up in the likeness of their celestial sires? |
14988 | Are we, then, to attribute the first of these characteristics to animals? |
14988 | Are you able to tell? |
14988 | Are you not acquainted with the first principles of logic? |
14988 | As to the beasts, do they not bear cold and hunger, running about in woods, and on mountains and deserts? |
14988 | As to the natural fortifications of Rome, who is so negligent and unobservant as not to have them depicted and deeply stamped on his memory? |
14988 | As, therefore, it is plain that what is moved by itself must be eternal, who will deny that this is the general condition and nature of minds? |
14988 | Besides, how can the world move itself, if it wants a body? |
14988 | Besides, how could that Deity, if it is nothing but soul, be mixed with, or infused into, the world? |
14988 | Besides, is not everything that had a beginning subject to mortality? |
14988 | Besides, what piety is due to a being from whom you receive nothing? |
14988 | But I ask you if I have effected anything or nothing in the preceding days? |
14988 | But I would demand of you both, why these world- builders started up so suddenly, and lay dormant for so many ages? |
14988 | But among men, do we not see a disparity of manners in persons very much alike, and a similitude of manners in persons unlike? |
14988 | But are any of these miserable now? |
14988 | But can not we have the pleasure of hearing you resume it, or are we come too late? |
14988 | But could not the Deity have assisted and preserved those eminent cities? |
14988 | But do not you, who are so great an adept in physics, see what a soothing flatterer, what a sort of procuress, nature is to herself? |
14988 | But do we imagine that he was afterward delighted with that variety with which we see the heaven and earth adorned? |
14988 | But do you mean, said Tubero, that he dared to speak thus to men almost entirely uneducated and ignorant? |
14988 | But do you really imagine them to be such? |
14988 | But do you think they were all madmen who thought that a Deity could by some possibility exist without hands and feet? |
14988 | But does your Epicurus( for I had rather contend with him than with you) say anything that is worthy the name of philosophy, or even of common- sense? |
14988 | But how can that be miserable for one which all must of necessity undergo? |
14988 | But how can wisdom reside in such shapes? |
14988 | But how can you assert that the Gods do not enter into all the little circumstances of life, and yet hold that they distribute dreams among men? |
14988 | But how does all this face of things arise from atomic corpuscles? |
14988 | But how does he speak on these subjects? |
14988 | But how is it that you take it for granted that life is nothing but fire? |
14988 | But how will any one be enabled to bear his misfortunes the better by knowing that it is unavoidable that such things should happen to man? |
14988 | But how will you get rid of the objections which Carneades made? |
14988 | But if a concourse of atoms can make a world, why not a porch, a temple, a house, a city, which are works of less labor and difficulty? |
14988 | But if it does not ease our pain, why should we debase ourselves to no purpose? |
14988 | But if their doctrine be true, of what avail is piety, sanctity, or religion? |
14988 | But if understanding, faith, virtue, and concord reside in human kind, how could they come on earth, unless from heaven? |
14988 | But if you decline those opinions, why should a single form disturb you? |
14988 | But if you think Latona a Goddess, how can you avoid admitting Hecate to be one also, who was the daughter of Asteria, Latona''s sister? |
14988 | But is that the truth? |
14988 | But it is not necessary at present to go through the whole: the question is, to what point are we to advance in order to abate our grief? |
14988 | But let us see what she will perform? |
14988 | But like what man? |
14988 | But must they, for that reason, be all eternal? |
14988 | But since the universe contains all particular beings, as well as their seeds, can we say that it is not itself governed by nature? |
14988 | But still, what was this extraordinary fortune? |
14988 | But suppose we are mistaken as to his pleasure; are we so, too, as to his pain? |
14988 | But supposing these were to be allowed, how can the rest be granted, or even so much as understood? |
14988 | But the question is, had he died, would he have been taken from good, or from evil? |
14988 | But to detract from another''s reputation, or to rival him with that vicious emulation which resembles an enmity, of what use can that conduct be? |
14988 | But what age is long, or what is there at all long to a man? |
14988 | But what are those degrees by which we are to limit it? |
14988 | But what are those images you talk of, or whence do they proceed? |
14988 | But what are those more important things about which you say that you are occupied? |
14988 | But what are we doing? |
14988 | But what can be more internal than the mind? |
14988 | But what conception can we possibly have of a Deity who is not eternal? |
14988 | But what do you think of those to whom a victory in the Olympic games seemed almost on a par with the ancient consulships of the Roman people? |
14988 | But what does the same man say in his funeral oration? |
14988 | But what is Chrysippus''s definition? |
14988 | But what is it, Epicurus, that you do for them? |
14988 | But what is that great and noble work which appears to you to be the effect of a divine mind, and from which you conclude that there are Gods? |
14988 | But what is that opinion of Epicharmus? |
14988 | But what is that peroration? |
14988 | But what is there more effectual to dispel grief than the discovery that it answers no purpose, and has been undergone to no account? |
14988 | But what is there of any excellency which has not its difficulty? |
14988 | But what life do they attribute to that round Deity? |
14988 | But what occasion is there to animadvert on the opinions of individuals, when we may observe whole nations to fall into all sorts of errors? |
14988 | But what occasion is there to philosophize here in a matter with which we see that philosophy is but little concerned? |
14988 | But what pleasures can they enjoy? |
14988 | But what said that chief of the Argonauts in tragedy? |
14988 | But what sense can the air have? |
14988 | But what shall I say of human reason? |
14988 | But what signifies that, if his defects were beauties to Catulus? |
14988 | But what think you of those whose mothers were Goddesses? |
14988 | But when virtue governs the Commonwealth, what can be more glorious? |
14988 | But whence comes that divination? |
14988 | But where is truth? |
14988 | But who can with correctness speak in praise of a mediocrity of evils? |
14988 | But who ever thanked the Gods that he was a good man? |
14988 | But why are we angry with the poets? |
14988 | But why are we to add many more Gods? |
14988 | But why do I mention Socrates, or Theramenes, men distinguished by the glory of virtue and wisdom? |
14988 | But why was not man endued with a reason incapable of producing any crimes? |
14988 | But would any one say of us, who do exist, that we want horns or wings? |
14988 | But would it not have been better that these inhumanities had been prevented than that the author of them should be punished afterward? |
14988 | But, do you not see how much harm is done by poets? |
14988 | But, indeed, who can dispute the antiquity of philosophy, either in fact or name? |
14988 | Can any one contradict himself more? |
14988 | Can any one in whom there is lust or desire be otherwise than libidinous or desirous? |
14988 | Can anything be natural that is against reason? |
14988 | Can anything show stupidity in a greater degree? |
14988 | Can he who does not exist be in need of anything? |
14988 | Can madness be of any use? |
14988 | Can there be any doubt that whatever may be lost can not be properly classed in the number of those things which complete a happy life? |
14988 | Can there be any glory or excellence in that nature which only contemplates its own happiness, and neither will do, nor does, nor ever did anything? |
14988 | Can we suppose any of them to be squint- eyed, or even to have a cast in the eye? |
14988 | Can we, then, think that this plentiful fountain of evil sprung from the immortal Gods? |
14988 | Can you deny, my Lælius, that this is a fair definition of a democracy, where the people are all in all, and where the people constitute the State? |
14988 | Can you, then, call yourself a brave man, of a great soul, endued with patience and steadiness above the frowns of fortune? |
14988 | Can you, then, think, after this plain refutation, that there is need to employ more subtle reasonings? |
14988 | Could he, then, be happy who occasioned the death of these men? |
14988 | Could the Scythian Anacharsis[69] disregard money, and shall not our philosophers be able to do so? |
14988 | Could the different courses of the stars be preserved by the uniform movement of the whole heaven? |
14988 | Could the earth at one season be adorned with flowers, at another be covered with snow? |
14988 | Could the flux and reflux of the sea and the height of the tides be affected by the increase or wane of the moon? |
14988 | Could these things subsist, I say, in such a harmony of all the parts of the universe without the continued influence of a divine spirit? |
14988 | Did he not follow his philosophical studies with the greatest satisfaction at Athens, although he was banished? |
14988 | Did not his colleague Junius, in the same war, lose his fleet in a tempest by disregarding the auspices? |
14988 | Did not they plainly deny the very essence of a Deity? |
14988 | Did not this grave and wise man sufficiently show that the public revenue was dissipated by the Sempronian law? |
14988 | Did she avoid labor? |
14988 | Did you ever observe anything like this, Epicurus? |
14988 | Did you ever see any world but this? |
14988 | Did you, then, say that it was your opinion that such a man was as naturally liable to perturbation as the sea is exposed to winds? |
14988 | Do I explain your opinion rightly? |
14988 | Do I talk of their men? |
14988 | Do not the Egyptians esteem their sacred bull, their Apis, as a Deity? |
14988 | Do not they put their names to those very books which they write on the contempt of glory? |
14988 | Do they not hate every virtue that distinguishes itself? |
14988 | Do those grandiloquent gentlemen state anything better than Epicurus in opposition to these two things which distress us the most? |
14988 | Do we look, then, on the libidinous, the angry, the anxious, and the timid man, as persons of wisdom, of excellence? |
14988 | Do we not observe that where those exercises called gymnastic are in esteem, those who enter the lists never concern themselves about dangers? |
14988 | Do you admit this-- that souls either exist after death, or else that they also perish at the moment of death? |
14988 | Do you believe an eagle, a lion, or a dolphin prefers any shape to its own? |
14988 | Do you believe that they thought that their names should not continue beyond their lives? |
14988 | Do you commit your affairs to the hands of many persons? |
14988 | Do you conceive him to have the least skill in natural philosophy who is capable of thinking anything to be everlasting that had a beginning? |
14988 | Do you imagine that Epaminondas groaned when he perceived that his life was flowing out with his blood? |
14988 | Do you imagine that I am angry when in pleading I use any extraordinary vehemence and sharpness? |
14988 | Do you intend all the laws indifferently? |
14988 | Do you not consider, Balbus, to what lengths your arguments for the divinity of the heaven and the stars will carry you? |
14988 | Do you not look upon him as unworthy of his own father''s light? |
14988 | Do you observe how he constrains himself? |
14988 | Do you see that I have much leisure? |
14988 | Do you see that city Carthage, which, though brought under the Roman yoke by me, is now renewing former wars, and can not live in peace? |
14988 | Do you suppose if beasts were endowed with reason that every one would not give the prize of beauty to his own species? |
14988 | Do you take that print of a horse''s hoof which is now to be seen on a stone at Regillus to be made by Castor''s horse? |
14988 | Do you take these for fabulous stories? |
14988 | Do you think the Deity is like either me or you? |
14988 | Do you think there is any creature on the land or in the sea that is not highly delighted with its own form? |
14988 | Do you, then, admit our idea of that governor of a commonwealth to whom we wish to refer everything? |
14988 | Do you, then, asked Scipio, believe in nothing which is not before your eyes? |
14988 | Do you, then, think that it can befall a wise man to be oppressed with grief, that is to say, with misery? |
14988 | Does not Dionysius, then, seem to have declared there can be no happiness for one who is under constant apprehensions? |
14988 | Does not Niobe here seem to reason, and by that reasoning to bring all her misfortunes upon herself? |
14988 | Does not Old age, though unregarded, still attend On childhood''s pastimes, as the cares of men? |
14988 | Does pain annoy us? |
14988 | Does the earth bring forth fruit and grain in such excessive abundance and variety for men or for brutes? |
14988 | Doth anything come nearer madness than anger? |
14988 | Eternal sorrows what avails to shed? |
14988 | For how is such a one judged to be best either in learning, sciences, or arts? |
14988 | For how without these qualities could it be infinitely perfect? |
14988 | For if that last day does not occasion an entire extinction, but a change of abode only, what can be more desirable? |
14988 | For let the soul perish as the body: is there any pain, or indeed any feeling at all, in the body after death? |
14988 | For piety is only justice towards the Gods; but what right have they to it, when there is no communication whatever between the Gods and men? |
14988 | For what can be thought better than the best? |
14988 | For what can possibly be more evident than this? |
14988 | For what can possibly ever have been put together which can not be dissolved again? |
14988 | For what can we pronounce more deplorable than folly? |
14988 | For what is Athos or the vast Olympus? |
14988 | For what is a republic but an association of rights? |
14988 | For what is better and more excellent than goodness and beneficence? |
14988 | For what is memory of words and circumstances? |
14988 | For what is more unbecoming in a man than to cry like a woman? |
14988 | For what is not only more miserable, but more base and sordid, than a man afflicted, weakened, and oppressed with grief? |
14988 | For what is that faculty by which we remember? |
14988 | For what is that love of friendship? |
14988 | For what is there in human knowledge, or the short span of this life, that can appear great to a wise man? |
14988 | For what is there in natures of that kind which has the power of memory, understanding, or thought? |
14988 | For what is there in this life that can appear great to him who has acquainted himself with eternity and the utmost extent of the universe? |
14988 | For what nation, what people are there, who have not, without any learning, a natural idea, or prenotion, of a Deity? |
14988 | For what now remains of those antique manners, of which the poet said that our Commonwealth consisted? |
14988 | For what shall we say? |
14988 | For what should he be concerned for who has not even any sensation? |
14988 | For what stronger argument can there be that it is of little use than that some very profound philosophers live in a discreditable manner? |
14988 | For what superior force can there be? |
14988 | For what was the State of Athens when, during the great Peloponnesian war, she fell under the unjust domination of the thirty tyrants? |
14988 | For what-- can such a man be disturbed by fear? |
14988 | For whence comes piety, or from whom has religion been derived? |
14988 | For who does not see this, that an appetite is the best sauce? |
14988 | For who that fears either pain or death, the one of which is always present, the other always impending, can be otherwise than miserable? |
14988 | For whom, then, will any one presume to say that the world was made? |
14988 | For why should I entreat him to be propitious? |
14988 | For why should a woman be disabled from inheriting property? |
14988 | For, in the first place, what are the pleasures of which we are deprived by that dreadful thing, blindness? |
14988 | For, with respect to him what better authority can we cite than Plato? |
14988 | From what would you derive Vejupiter and Vulcan? |
14988 | From whence arose those five forms,[83] of which the rest were composed, so aptly contributing to frame the mind and produce the senses? |
14988 | Granting, then, everything to be made of atoms, what advantage is that to your argument? |
14988 | Had there not been danger, we should say, who would have applied to you? |
14988 | Has it not even entered the heavens? |
14988 | Has our entrance at all interrupted any conversation of yours? |
14988 | Have I invented this? |
14988 | Have they any warts? |
14988 | Have they no names? |
14988 | Have you any grounds of complaint, then, that she recalls it at her pleasure? |
14988 | Have you, then, no commendation at all for any kind of democratical government? |
14988 | He determines to be miserable: and can any one determine on anything against his will? |
14988 | Here some people talk of moderate grief; but if such be natural, what occasion is there for consolation? |
14988 | How can anything of this kind befall one to whom nothing is sudden and unforeseen that can happen to man? |
14988 | How can he be brave and undaunted, and hold everything as trifles which can befall a man? |
14988 | How can it be right that you should voluntarily grieve, rather than take the trouble of acquiring what you want to have? |
14988 | How can that divine sense of the firmament be preserved in so rapid a motion? |
14988 | How comes it that no one is in love with a deformed young man, or a handsome old one? |
14988 | How could the Gods err? |
14988 | How could the air, fire, water, and earth pay obedience and submit to the will of the architect? |
14988 | How do the beasts live in the fields and in the forests? |
14988 | How is it that the very first moment that I choose I can form representations of them in my mind? |
14988 | How is it that they come to me, even in my sleep, without being called or sought after? |
14988 | How is it when some things do of themselves prevent your grieving at them? |
14988 | How much more reasonable is the doctrine of the Stoics, whom you censure? |
14988 | How shall we account for this? |
14988 | How so? |
14988 | How was it with T. Altibutius? |
14988 | How we are to behave in bed? |
14988 | How, then, can a life be pleasant without prudence and temperance? |
14988 | How, then, can we conceive this to be a Deity that makes no use of reason, and is not endowed with any virtue? |
14988 | How, therefore, can they be those persons? |
14988 | I desire, therefore, to know, Balbus, why this Providence of yours was idle for such an immense space of time? |
14988 | I perceive your gradations from happiness to virtue, and from virtue to reason; but how do you come from reason to human form? |
14988 | I should be glad to be confuted; for what am I endeavoring at but to clear up truth in every question? |
14988 | I would inquire of him which of his family the nephew of Africanus''s brother was like? |
14988 | I? |
14988 | If I ask, why? |
14988 | If I have not faculties for knowing all that I could desire to know, will you not even allow me to make use of those which I have? |
14988 | If a just man and a virtuous man is bound to obey the laws, I ask, what laws do you mean? |
14988 | If any sentiments, indeed, are communicated without obscurity, what is there that Velleius can understand and Cotta not? |
14988 | If he never heard a lecture on these Democritean principles, what lectures did he ever hear? |
14988 | If it is not the same, then why did she make the world mortal, and not everlasting, like Plato''s God? |
14988 | If it were not so, why should we pray to or adore them? |
14988 | If it were not so, why would not a bull become enamored of a mare, or a horse of a cow? |
14988 | If it were true, what occasion was there to come so gradually to it? |
14988 | If the Gods can exist without corporeal sense, and if there can be a mind without a body, why did he annex a mind to water? |
14988 | If the human mind were a Deity, how could it be ignorant of any thing? |
14988 | If there are Gods, are nymphs also Goddesses? |
14988 | If there be no such thing as a Deity, what is there better than man, since he only is possessed of reason, the most excellent of all things? |
14988 | If these are Deities, which we worship and regard as such, why are not Serapis and Isis[255] placed in the same rank? |
14988 | If they are Goddesses, are Pans and Satyrs in the same rank? |
14988 | If you did not deify one as well as the other, what will become of Ino? |
14988 | If you suppose that wisdom governs the State, is it not as well that this wisdom should reside in one monarch as in many nobles? |
14988 | If, then, honor and riches have no value, what is there else to be afraid of? |
14988 | If, therefore, she neglects whole nations, is it not very probable that she neglects all mankind? |
14988 | In afflictions, in labor, in danger? |
14988 | In short, how is he happy? |
14988 | In the first place, therefore, I ask you, Where is the habitation of your Deity? |
14988 | In what manner? |
14988 | In what other parts to the north or the south, or where the sun rises and sets, will your names ever be heard? |
14988 | In what respect are they superior to these ideas? |
14988 | In what was Epicurus happier, living in his own country, than Metrodorus, who lived at Athens? |
14988 | In what way, said Lælius, are you going to make me again support your argument? |
14988 | In what, therefore, can it be defective, since it is perfect? |
14988 | In which, how could I have acted if I had not been consul at the time? |
14988 | Is anger inflamed? |
14988 | Is any country of barbarians more uncivilized or desolate than India? |
14988 | Is he deprived of eyes? |

14988 | Is it in your innumerable worlds, some of which are rising, some falling, at every moment of time? |
14988 | Is it not easier, then, to find one man of such a spirit as we are inquiring after, than to meet with a whole city of such men? |
14988 | Is it not sufficient, if it is not disagreeable? |
14988 | Is it possible that you should attain any human applause or glory that is worth the contending for? |

14988 | It is an important question for us, Which has the most appearance of truth? |
14988 | It is reported that Cleanthes on that struck his foot on the ground, and repeated a verse out of the Epigonæ: Amphiaraus, hear''st thou this below? |
14988 | It may be said, on the other side, Who is so mad as to grieve of his own accord? |
14988 | Lastly, if fortitude is ascribed to the Deity, how does it appear? |
14988 | Lastly, what have the principal poets and the most learned men published of themselves in their poems and songs? |
14988 | Moreover, how can a good man avoid referring all his actions and all his feelings to the one standard of whether or not it is laudable? |
14988 | Moreover, who can think anything in human affairs of brilliant importance who has penetrated this starry empire of the gods? |
14988 | Must I now seek for arguments to refute this doctrine seriously? |
14988 | Must not the mind, then, when it is puffed up, or distended, be out of order? |
14988 | Must we conclude that some Deity appoints and directs these ebbings and flowings to certain fixed times? |
14988 | Must we not attribute prudence to a Deity? |
14988 | Nay, more; is not the whole of heaven( not to dwell on particulars) almost filled with the offspring of men? |

14988 | Nothing is more true, and he says very appropriately, What, are you sane, who at this rate lament? |
14988 | Now imagine a Democritus, a Pythagoras, and an Anaxagoras; what kingdom, what riches, would you prefer to their studies and amusements? |
14988 | Now what made these men so easy, but their persuasion that grief and lamentation was not becoming in a man? |
14988 | Now who that is acquainted with these instances can doubt that this motion of the mind is altogether in opinion and voluntary? |
14988 | Now, do you understand what is meant by quasi- body and quasi- blood? |

14988 | Or are they free from imperfections? |
14988 | Or can any one be angry without a perturbation of mind? |
14988 | Or did Plato''s happiness exceed that of Xenocrates, or Polemo, or Arcesilas? |
14988 | Or do you think Æsopus was ever angry when he acted, or Accius was so when he wrote? |
14988 | Or for the sake of fools? |
14988 | Or how can that nature be called animated which neither regards nor performs anything? |

14988 | Or who can think anything connected with mankind long who has learned to estimate the nature of eternity? |

14988 | Ought not such authorities to move you? |
14988 | Ought we to contemn Attius Navius''s staff, with which he divided the regions of the vine to find his sow? |
14988 | Secondly, What motive is it that stirs him from his place, supposing he ever moves? |
14988 | Seeing, then, that it is clear that whatever moves itself is eternal, can there be any doubt that the soul is so? |
14988 | Shall Amphiaraus and Tryphonius be called Gods? |
14988 | Shall I adore, and bend the suppliant knee, Who scorn their power and doubt their deity? |
14988 | Shall I call the sun, the moon, or the sky a Deity? |
14988 | Shall I immediately crowd all my sails? |

14988 | Shall men not be able to bear what boys do? |
14988 | Shall musicians compose their tunes to their own tastes? |
14988 | Shall the Deity, then, have a tongue, and not speak-- teeth, palate, and jaws, though he will have no use for them? |
14988 | Shall the happy life of a wise and consistent man succumb to this? |
14988 | Shall the industrious husbandman, then, plant trees the fruit of which he shall never see? |
14988 | Shall the members which nature has given to the body for the sake of generation be useless to the Deity? |
14988 | Shall the world be possessed of every other perfection, and be destitute of this one, which is the most important and valuable of all? |
14988 | Shall virtue, then, yield to this? |
14988 | Shall we give, therefore, any credit to Pauæstius, when he dissents from his master, Plato? |
14988 | Shall we imagine that there is a kind of measure in the soul, into which, as into a vessel, all that we remember is poured? |
14988 | Shall we imagine the soul to receive impressions like wax, and memory to be marks of the impressions made on the soul? |
14988 | Shall we not then allow the Gods to have these perfections, since we worship the sacred and august images of them? |
14988 | Shall we say, then, that madness has its use? |
14988 | Shall we, then, prefer determining between them, or shall we return to our subject? |
14988 | Shall we, therefore, receive a lame Deity because we have such an account of him? |
14988 | Shall, then, a veteran soldier be able to behave in this manner, and shall a wise and learned man not be able? |
14988 | She turn''d me out- of- doors; she sends for me back again; Shall I go? |
14988 | Should Pythagoras, Socrates, or Plato say to me, Why are you dejected or sad? |
14988 | Should it be asked, why not? |
14988 | Should you ask what its nature is? |
14988 | Socrates, in Xenophon, asks,"Whence had man his understanding, if there was none in the world?" |
14988 | Still, you would not be liable to punishment; for who could prove that you had known? |
14988 | Suppose that we allow that to be without pain is the chief good? |
14988 | Supposing he is so, would his happiness be less perfect if he had not two feet? |
14988 | Take away this, and who would be so mad as to spend his life amidst toils and dangers? |
14988 | That indeed is absurd; for how shall we form any idea of the bottom, or of the shape or fashion of such a soul as that? |
14988 | That of nature? |
14988 | The flights and notes of birds? |
14988 | Then Lælius asked: But what difference is there, I should like to know, between the one and the many, if justice exists equally in many? |

14988 | Then Tubero said: I do not mean to disagree with you, Lælius; but, pray, what do you call more important studies? |
14988 | Then said Furius, What is it that you are about? |

14988 | Therefore, when he had set off the riches of Priam to the best advantage, which had the appearance of a long continuance, what does he add? |
