I do not understand,\r\nhowever, how the world is to be always the same, and one\r\nindividual not different from another, and yet the things in it\r\nnot the same, though exactly alike. But the main argument in\r\nanswer to the statements of Celsus and of the Stoics will be\r\nmore appropriately investigated elsewhere, since on the present\r\noccasion it is not consistent with the purpose we have in view\r\nto expatiate on these points.</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK IV.","Chapter LXVIII."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-289"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"2fad0513bca9d5d37b3cac17ffffe925332dd56d90e1e4d176aaf05f43b1f32a","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
