Εἰδὼς γὰρ τὸν ἀπαρχῆς νόμον, ὅτι ἐὰν ὑμᾶς εἰς ὑπόνοιαν τῶν δήποτε λεγομένων θεῶν ἐνέγκῃ μόνον, ἵνα εἰς τὸ τῆς μοναρχίας ἀγαθὸν ἁμάρτητε, κέρδος αὑτῷ γίνεται ἡ ὑμῶν καταστροφή. λόγῳ δὲ τούτῳ ὅτι γῆν ἤσθιεν καταδικασθείς, τὸν δι᾽ ἁμαρτίαν εἰς γῆν λυθέντα, γῆν γενόμενον, ἐσθίειν ἔχει ἐξουσίαν, τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν εἰς τὴν τοῦ πυρὸς αὐτοῦ γαστέρα χωρουσῶν. ἵνα οὖν ταῦτα πάθητε, πᾶσαν τὴν καθ᾽ ὑμῶν ὑμῖν ὑποβάλλει οἴησιν.
