His conception of God, not exactly in the form of a human body, but as a corporeal substance, diffused through space | 110  |\n|  II. An argument of Nebridius against the Manichæans, upon the question, “Whether God be or be not corruptible?” | 112  |\n|  III. That the freedom of the will is the cause of evil | 113  |\n|  IV. That God is not corruptible, or He would cease to be God | 114  |\n|  V. Questions concerning the relation of evil to God: since if He be the sovereign good, He cannot be the cause of evil | 115  |\n|  VI. He rejects astrological divinations | 116  |\n|  VII. He is terribly distressed about the origin of evil | 119  |\n|  VIII. By the help of God he little by little draws nigh to the truth | 120  |\n|  IX. He compares the Platonist teaching concerning the Word, with the Christian doctrine, which latter he finds by far more excellent | 121  |\n|  X. In the inmost recesses of his heart, things divine begin to grow more clear | 123  |\n|  XI. That creatures are subject to change; and God alone unchangeable | 124  |\n|  XII. Whatsoever things the most good God hath made, are truly good | 124  |\n|  XIII. Whatsoever is in heaven and earth, being made good, ought to praise God | 125  |\n|  XIV. They only invent the figment of two primary substances, whom some creature displeaseth | 126  |\n|  XV. Whatsoever things exist owe their being to God | 127  |\n|  XVI. Evil originates, not from some substance, but from perverseness of will | 127  |\n|  XVII. Above the changing mind, he finds the unchanging Author of Truth | 128  |\n|  XVIII.
