He is Attacked by a Troublesome Spiritual Disease.Not Even When at Church Does He Suppress His Desires. In the School of Rhetoric He Abhors the Acts of the Subverters.In the Nineteenth Year of His Age (His Father Having Died Two Years Before) He is Led by the ‘Hortensius’ Of Cicero to ‘Philosophy,’ To God, and a Better Mode of Thinking.He Rejects the Sacred Scriptures as Too Simple, and as Not to Be Compared with the Dignity of Tully.Deceived by His Own Fault, He Falls into the Errors of the Manichæans, Who Gloried in the True Knowledge of God and in a Thorough Examination of Things.He Attacks the Doctrine of the Manichæans Concerning Evil, God, and the Righteousness of the Patriarchs.He Argues Against the Same as to the Reason of Offences.That the Judgment of God and Men as to Human Acts of Violence, is Different.He Reproves the Triflings of the Manichæans as to the Fruits of the Earth.He Refers to the Tears, and the Memorable Dream Concerning Her Son, Granted by God to His Mother.The Excellent Answer of the Bishop When Referred to by His Mother as to the Conversion of Her Son.Concerning that Most Unhappy Time in Which He, Being Deceived, Deceived Others; And Concerning the Mockers of His Confession.He Teaches Rhetoric, the Only Thing He Loved, and Scorns the Soothsayer, Who Promised Him Victory.Not Even the Most Experienced Men Could Persuade Him of the Vanity of Astrology to Which He Was Devoted.Sorely Distressed by Weeping at the Death of His Friend, He Provides Consolation for Himself.Why Weeping is Pleasant to the Wretched.His Friend Being Snatched Away by Death, He Imagines that He Remains Only as Half.Troubled by Restlessness and Grief, He Leaves His Country a Second Time for Carthage.That His Grief Ceased by Time, and the Consolation of Friends.That the Love of a Human Being, However Constant in Loving and Returning Love, Perishes; While He Who Loves God Never Loses a Friend.That All Things Exist that They May Perish, and that We are Not Safe Unless God Watches Over Us.That Portions of the World are Not to Be Loved; But that God, Their Author, is Immutable, and His Word Eternal.Love is Not Condemned, But Love in God, in Whom There is Rest Through Jesus Christ, is to Be Preferred.Love Originates from Grace and Beauty Enticing Us.Concerning the Books Which He Wrote ‘On the Fair and Fit,’ Dedicated to Hierius.While Writing, Being Blinded by Corporeal Images, He Failed to Recognise the Spiritual Nature of God.He Very Easily Understood the Liberal Arts and the Categories of Aristotle, But Without True Fruit.That It Becomes the Soul to Praise God, and to Confess Unto Him.On the Vanity of Those Who Wished to Escape the Omnipotent God.Having Heard Faustus, the Most Learned Bishop of the Manichæans, He Discerns that God, the Author Both of Things Animate and Inanimate, Chiefly Has Care for the Humble.That the Knowledge of Terrestrial and Celestial Things Does Not Give Happiness, But the Knowledge of God Only.Of Manichæus Pertinaciously Teaching False Doctrines, and Proudly Arrogating to Himself the Holy Spirit.Faustus Was Indeed an Elegant Speaker, But Knew Nothing of the Liberal Sciences.Clearly Seeing the Fallacies of the Manichæans, He Retires from Them, Being Remarkably Aided by God.He Sets Out for Rome, His Mother in Vain Lamenting It.Being Attacked by Fever, He is in Great Danger.When He Had Left the Manichæans, He Retained His Depraved Opinions Concerning Sin and the Origin of the Saviour.Helpidius Disputed Well Against the Manichæans as to the Authenticity of the New Testament.Professing Rhetoric at Rome, He Discovers the Fraud of His Scholars.He is Sent to Milan, that He, About to Teach Rhetoric, May Be Known by Ambrose.Having Heard the Bishop, He Perceives the Force of the Catholic Faith, Yet Doubts, After the Manner of the Modern Academics.His Mother Having Followed Him to Milan, Declares that She Will Not Die Before Her Son Shall Have Embraced the Catholic Faith.She, on the Prohibition of Ambrose, Abstains from Honouring the Memory of the Martyrs.As Ambrose Was Occupied with Business and Study, Augustin Could Seldom Consult Him Concerning the Holy Scriptures.He Recognises the Falsity of His Own Opinions, and Commits to Memory the Saying of Ambrose.Faith is the Basis of Human Life; Man Cannot Discover that Truth Which Holy Scripture Has Disclosed.On the Source and Cause of True Joy,—The Example of the Joyous Beggar Being Adduced.He Leads to Reformation His Friend Alypius, Seized with Madness for the Circensian Games.The Same When at Rome, Being Led by Others into the Amphitheatre, is Delighted with the Gladiatorial Games.Innocent Alypius, Being Apprehended as a Thief, is Set at Liberty by the Cleverness of an Architect.The Wonderful Integrity of Alypius in Judgment.

XIII. 13; By Which, Being Changed in His Whole Soul, He Discloses the Divine Favour to His Friend and His Mother.He Praises God, the Author of Safety, and Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, Acknowledging His Own Wickedness.As His Lungs Were Affected, He Meditates Withdrawing Himself from Public Favour.He Retires to the Villa of His Friend Verecundus, Who Was Not Yet a Christian, and Refers to His Conversion and Death, as Well as that of Nebridius.In the Country He Gives His Attention to Literature, and Explains the Fourth Psalm in Connection with the Happy Conversion of Alypius. He is Troubled with Toothache.At the Recommendation of Ambrose, He Reads the Prophecies of Isaiah, But Does Not Understand Them.He is Baptized at Milan with Alypius and His Son Adeodatus.

Then he examines his own acts, thoughts and affections, viewed under the threefold division of temptation; and commemorates the Lord, the one mediator of God and men.In God Alone is the Hope and Joy of Man.That All Things are Manifest to God. That Confession Unto Him is Not Made by the Words of the Flesh, But of the Soul, and the Cry of Reflection.He Who Confesseth Rightly Unto God Best Knoweth Himself.That in His Confessions He May Do Good, He Considers Others.That Man Knoweth Not Himself Wholly.The Love of God, in His Nature Superior to All Creatures, is Acquired by the Knowledge of the Senses and the Exercise of Reason.That God is to Be Found Neither from the Powers of the Body Nor of the Soul.Of the Nature and the Amazing Power of Memory.Not Only Things, But Also Literature and Images, are Taken from the Memory, and are Brought Forth by the Act of Remembering.Literature is Not Introduced to the Memory Through the Senses, But is Brought Forth from Its More Secret Places.What It is to Learn and to Think.On the Recollection of Things Mathematical.Memory Retains All Things.Concerning the Manner in Which Joy and Sadness May Be Brought Back to the Mind and Memory.In Memory There are Also Images of Things Which are Absent.The Privation of Memory is Forgetfulness.God Cannot Be Attained Unto by the Power of Memory, Which Beasts and Birds Possess.A Thing When Lost Could Not Be Found Unless It Were Retained in the Memory.What It is to Remember.We Should Not Seek for God and the Happy Life Unless We Had Known It.How a Happy Life May Be Retained in the Memory.A Happy Life is to Rejoice in God, and for God.All Wish to Rejoice in the Truth.He Who Finds Truth, Finds God.He is Glad that God Dwells in His Memory.God Everywhere Answers Those Who Take Counsel of Him.He Grieves that He Was So Long Without God.On the Misery of Human Life.All Hope is in the Mercy of God.Of the Perverse Images of Dreams, Which He Wishes to Have Taken Away.About to Speak of the Temptations of the Lust of the Flesh, He First Complains of the Lust of Eating and Drinking.Of the Charms of Perfumes Which are More Easily Overcome.He Overcame the Pleasures of the Ear, Although in the Church He Frequently Delighted in the Song, Not in the Thing Sung.Of the Very Dangerous Allurements of the Eyes; On Account of Beauty of Form, God, the Creator, is to Be Praised.Another Kind of Temptation is Curiosity, Which is Stimulated by the Lust of the Eyes.A Third Kind is ‘Pride’ Which is Pleasing to Man, Not to God.He is Forcibly Goaded on by the Love of Praise.Vain-Glory is the Highest Danger.Of the Vice of Those Who, While Pleasing Themselves, Displease God.The Only Safe Resting-Place for the Soul is to Be Found in God.Having Conquered His Triple Desire, He Arrives at Salvation.In What Manner Many Sought the Mediator.That Jesus Christ, at the Same Time God and Man, is the True and Most Efficacious Mediator.The design of his confessions being declared, he seeks from God the knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, and begins to expound the words of Genesis I. I, concerning the creation of the world. The questions of rash disputers being refuted, ‘What did God before he created the world?’ That he might the better overcome his opponents, he adds a copious disquisition concerning time.By Confession He Desires to Stimulate Towards God His Own Love and That of His Readers.He Begs of God that Through the Holy Scriptures He May Be Led to Truth.He Begins from the Creation of the World—Not Understanding the Hebrew Text.Heaven and Earth Cry Out that They Have Been Created by God.God Created the World Not from Any Certain Matter, But in His Own Word.He Did Not, However, Create It by a Sounding and Passing Word.By His Co-Eternal Word He Speaks, and All Things are Done.That Word Itself is the Beginning of All Things, in the Which We are Instructed as to Evangelical Truth.Wisdom and the Beginning.The Rashness of Those Who Inquire What God Did Before He Created Heaven and Earth.They Who Ask This Have Not as Yet Known the Eternity of God, Which is Exempt from the Relation of Time.What God Did Before the Creation of the World.Before the Times Created by God, Times Were Not.Neither Time Past Nor Future, But the Present Only, Really is.There is Only a Moment of Present Time.Time Can Only Be Perceived or Measured While It is Passing.Nevertheless There is Time Past and Future.Past and Future Times Cannot Be Thought of But as Present.We are Ignorant in What Manner God Teaches Future Things.In What Manner Time May Properly Be Designated.How Time May Be Measured.He Prays God that He Would Explain This Most Entangled Enigma.That Time is a Certain Extension.That Time is Not a Motion of a Body Which We Measure by Time.He Calls on God to Enlighten His Mind.We Measure Longer Events by Shorter in Time.Times are Measured in Proportion as They Pass by.Time in the Human Mind, Which Expects, Considers, and Remembers.That Human Life is a Distraction But that Through the Mercy of God He Was Intent on the Prize of His Heavenly Calling.Again He Refutes the Empty Question, ‘What Did God Before the Creation of the World?’How the Knowledge of God Differs from that of Man.He continues his explanation of the first Chapter of Genesis according to the Septuagint, and by its assistance he argues, especially, concerning the double heaven, and the formless matter out of which the whole world may have been created; afterwards of the interpretations of others not disallowed, and sets forth at great length the sense of the Holy Scripture.The Discovery of Truth is Difficult, But God Has Promised that He Who Seeks Shall Find.Of the Double Heaven,—The Visible, and the Heaven of Heavens.Of the Darkness Upon the Deep, and of the Invisible and Formless Earth.From the Formlessness of Matter, the Beautiful World Has Arisen.What May Have Been the Form of Matter.He Confesses that at One Time He Himself Thought Erroneously of Matter.Out of Nothing God Made Heaven and Earth.Heaven and Earth Were Made ‘In the Beginning;’ Afterwards the World, During Six Days, from Shapeless Matter.That the Heaven of Heavens Was an Intellectual Creature, But that the Earth Was Invisible and Formless Before the Days that It Was Made.He Begs of God that He May Live in the True Light, and May Be Instructed as to the Mysteries of the Sacred Books.What May Be Discovered to Him by God.From the Formless Earth God Created Another Heaven and a Visible and Formed Earth.Of the Intellectual Heaven and Formless Earth, Out of Which, on Another Day, the Firmament Was Formed.Of the Depth of the Sacred Scripture, and Its Enemies.He Argues Against Adversaries Concerning the Heaven of Heavens.He Wishes to Have No Intercourse with Those Who Deny Divine Truth.He Mentions Five Explanations of the Words of Genesis I.
