But the phraseology is unusual. For,\r\nas the words stand, \"He abode not in the truth, because the\r\ntruth is not in him,\" it seems as if the truth's not being in\r\nhim were the cause of his not abiding in it; whereas his not\r\nabiding in the truth is rather the cause of its not being in\r\nhim. The same form of speech is found in the psalm: \"I\r\nhave called upon Thee, for Thou hast heard me, O God,\"<a id=\"FNanchor_473_473\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_473_473\">[473]</a>\r\nwhere we should expect it to be said, Thou hast heard me,\r\nO God, for I have called upon Thee. But when he had said,\r\n\"I have called,\" then, as if some one were seeking proof of\r\nthis, he demonstrates the effectual earnestness of his prayer\r\nby the effect of God's hearing it; as if he had said, The proof\r\nthat I have prayed is that Thou hast heard me.</p>","headings":["THE WORKS OF AURELIUS AUGUSTINE,","BOOK ELEVENTH.","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45304-paragraph-784"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"6390c998fdfbc1e6a9c2d7055216cc1169cc0cb0f02941ceb7b13766d880771d","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume I","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Book IV)","J.
