Ἄξιος οὖν τῆς ἀποβολῆς πᾶς κατὰ τῆς τοῦ Θεοῦ μοναρχίας αὐτὸ μόνον κἂν ἀκοῦσαί τι τοιοῦτον θελήσας, εἰ δὲ ὡς γραφαῖς τεθαῤῥηκὼς κατὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τολμᾷ τις κἂν ἀκούειν, πρῶτον ἐκεῖνό μοι συνενθυμείτω, ὅτι, ἄν τις εὔλογον ἑαυτῷ δόγμα ὡς βούλεται ἀναπλάσῃ, ἔπειτα αὐταῖς ἐγκύψῃ, δυνατὸς ἔσται πολλὰς ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐπλάσατο δόγματος ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν μαρτυρίας φέρειν· πῶς οὖν ἐπὶ ταύταις κατὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ θαρρεῖν ἔστιν, ἐν αἷς ἡ πάντων βουλὴ εἰσευρίσκεται;
