Κἄν νῦν δὲ ἐκ τῶν ἡττόνων ἐπίγνωθι τὴν τῶν ὅλων αἰτίαν, λογισάμενος ὅτι τὰ πάντα τὸ ὕδωρ ποιεῖ, τὸ δὲ ὕδωρ ὑπὸ πνεύματος κινήσεως τὴν γένεσιν λαμβάνει, τὸ δὲ πνεῦμα ἀπὸ τοῦ τῶν ὅλων Θεοῦ τὴν ἀρχὴν ἔχει. καὶ οὕτως ἔδει λογίσασθαι, ἵνα ἐπὶ λόγῳ εἰς Θεὸν καταντῆσαι δυνηθῇς, ὅπως ἐπιγνῷς σαυτοῦ γένος, καὶ πρωτογόνῳ ἀναγεννηθεὶς ὕδατι καὶ κληρονόμος καταστῇς τῶν πρὸς ἀφθαρσίαν γεννησάντων σε γονέων.
