Or else it will have to be said that one and the same act of turning to God, so far as it comes of free-will, is meritorious; and so far as it attains the end, is the fruition of beatitude. Even this view will not stand, because free-willis not the sufficient causeof merit; and, consequently, an act cannot be meritoriousas coming from free-will, except in so far as it is informed by grace;

The human being has intercourse with the human being. The horse has intercourse with the horse, the ass with the ass. Members of a race usually have associated with those of like race. So spirit mingles with spirit, and thought consorts with thought, and light shares with light. If you are born a human being, it is the human being who will love you. If you become a spirit, it is the spirit which will be joined to you. If you become thought, it is thought which will mingle with you. If you become light, it is the light which will share with you. If you become one of those who belong above, it is those who belong above who will rest upon you. If you become horse or ass or bull or dog or sheep, or another of the animals which are outside or below, then neither human being nor spirit nor thought nor light will be able to love you. Neither those who belong above nor those who belong within will be able to rest in you, and you have no part in them.
the idea of the hierarchy and reincarnation/ trying to reach the one
Now you who live together with the Son of God, love not the world, but love the Lord, in order that those you will bring forth may not resemble the world, butmay resemble the Lord.
faith takes you away from the material and into the spiritual
The cup of prayer contains wine and water, since itis appointed as the type of the blood for which thanks is given. And it is full of the Holy Spirit, and it belongs to the wholly perfect man. When we drink this, we shall receive for ourselves the perfect man
achieving perfection
he world came about through a mistake. For he who created it wanted to create it imperishable and immortal. He fell short of attaining his desire. For the world never was imperishable, nor, for that matter, was he who made the world.
creation is bad
Those who say, "There is a heavenly man and there is one abovehim" are wrong. For it is the first of these two heavenly men, the one who is revealed, that they call "the one who is below"; and he to whom the hidden belongs is that one who is above him. For it would be better for them to say, "The inner and outer, and what is outside the outer". Because of this, the Lord called destruction the "the outer darkness": there is not another outside of it. He said, "My Father who is in secret". He said, "Go into your chamber and shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father who is in secret" (Mt 6:6), the one who is within them all. But that which is within them all is the fullness. Beyond it, there is nothing else within it. This is that of which they say, "That which is above them".
the idea of transcendence and the heirarchy
Compare the perfect man. It is through powers which are submissive that he ploughs, preparing for everything to come into being. For it is because of this that the whole place stands, whether the good or the evil, the right and the left.
part of the heirarchy
Compare the soul. It is a precious thing and it came to be in a contemptible body
idea that the farther from the one, and closer to the material world, the less perfect
Truth is one single thing; it is many things and for our sakes to teach about this one thing in love through many things.
the one
One single name is not uttered in the world, the name which the Father gave to the Son; it is the name above all things: the name of the Father. For the Son would not become Father unless he wore the name of the Father. Those who have this name know it, but they do not speak it. But those who do not have it do not know it.
another example of hierarchy
Names given to the worldly are very deceptive, for they divert our thoughts from what is correct to what is incorrect. Thus one who hears the word "God" does not perceive what is correct, but perceives what is incorrect. So alsowith "the Father" and "the Son" and "the Holy Spirit" and "life" and "light" and "resurrection" and "the Church (Ekklesia)" and all the rest -people do not perceive what is correct but they perceive what is incorrect, unless they have come to know what is correct. The names which are heard are in the world [...] deceive. If they were in the Aeon (eternal realm), they would at no time be used as names in the world. Nor were they set among worldly things. They have an end in the Aeon.
focus on knowing the truth and that spiritual knowledge is obtained through thought
It was not only when he appeared that he voluntarily laid down his life, but he voluntarily laid down his life from the very day the world came into being.
idea of a strict heirarchy
For if they had the Holy Spirit, no unclean spirit would cleave to them.
the closer you are to the one, the more perfect
It is not possible for anyone to see anything of the things that actually exist unless he becomes like them. This is not the way with man in the world: he sees the sun without being a sun; and he sees the heaven and the earth and all other things, but he is not these things. This is quite in keeping with the truth. But you saw something of that place, and you became those things. You saw the Spirit, you became spirit. You saw Christ, you became Christ. You saw the Father, you shall become Father. So in this place you see everything and do not see yourself, but in that place you do see yourself -and what you see you shall become.
spiritual truth through self knowledge
He who has been created is beautiful, but you would <not> find his sons noble creations. If he were not created, but begotten, you would find that his seed was noble. But now he was created (and) he begot. What nobility is this? First, adultery came into being, afterward murder. And he was begotten in adultery, for he was the child of the Serpent. So he became a murderer, just like his father, and he killed his brother. Indeed, every act of sexual intercourse which has occurred between those unlike one another is adultery.
the idea that what is made my the demiurge, is imperfect and creations are flawed
Light and Darkness, life and death, right and left, are brothers of one another. They are inseparable. Because of this neither are the good good, nor evil evil, nor is life life, nor death death. For this reason each one will dissolve into its earliest origin. But those who are exalted above the world are indissoluble, eternal.

When we were Hebrews, we were orphans and had only our mother, but when we became Christians, we had both father and mother.

Perhaps these qualities are the reason why musical poetry is thought to be more more childlike (like nursery rhymes) than verbal poems.

This is interesting because some forms of modern poetry are clearly meant to be read rather than recited verbally though they are still considered to be lyric poems.

The speaker is absolutely disgusted with the Summoner. He describes in detail that he is pimply, can't grow proper facial hair (which could be an attack on his masculinity), doesn't treat his children right, and has STDs. The Summoner is not one of the morally ambiguous characters. It is just as easy to tell that Chaucer doesn't like the Summoner as it is to tell that he likes the Parson.

The rood wants to bow down or kneel before Christ to show respect, as a subject would to a king, but it cannot because Jesus is being courageous and taking his punishment without any struggle or hesitation. The rood has to follow that example.
