SMALL LETTER ETA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER MU~}, the act of
hemming round) a term employed in ancient times by the Peripatetics
to denote the increase of one quality by the action of another of an
opposite nature as when internal heat or inflammation is increased
by external cold. It would be "a holy Antiperistasis in a
Christian," it is said (p. 216) were the surrounding ignorance and
wickedness of the world to make the grace of God unite itself and
work more powerfully as fire out of a cloud and shine more brightly
as a torch in the darkness of the night. A learned English divine
who lived in the same age with Binning declares that in the case of
the faithful themselves sin derives additional power, by
_antiperistasis_ from the law, to deceive, captivate, sell as a
slave to make them do that which they hated and allowed not and do
not that which they would and loved.--Bishop Reynold's Works vol. I.

200 [In some of his epistles to his friends, Cicero expresses himself as
if he thought death was to be followed by utter annihilation. But he
speaks very differently in some of his other writings. The following
passage occurs in a work (_Consolatio_) which has been ascribed to
him--_Gorgias orator, jam aetate confectus ac morti proximus rogatus
num libenter moreretur maxime vero inquit nam tamquam ex putri
miseraque domo laetus egredior--Mortem igitur in malus nullo modo esse
ponendam sed in praecipius bonus numerandam debitaturum puto
neminem_--Gorgias the orator, when worn out with age and near death
being asked whether he would die willingly said: Very willingly
indeed for I depart as if I were gladly leaving a filthy and
wretched house.--I therefore think that no one will hesitate to
