Πολλῶν οὖν ἐν βίῳ παρελθουσῶν θρησκειῶν πάρεσμεν φέροντες ὑμῖν, οἱ ἀγαθοὶ ἔμποροι ἐκ προγόνων ἡμῖν παραδοθείσης καὶ φυλαχθείσης θρησκείας, ὡς σπέρματα φυτῶν δεικνύντες καὶ ἐπὶ τῇ ὑμετέρᾳ κρίσει καὶ ἐξουσίᾳ τιθέντες. τὸ ὑμῖν δοκοῦν ἐπιλέξασθε. ἐὰν μὲν οὖν τὰ ἡμέτερα ἕλησθε, οὐ μόνους δαίμονας καὶ τὰ ἐκ δαιμόνων πάθη φυγεῖν δυνήσεσθε, ἀλλὰ τοιαῦτα φυγαδεύοντες καὶ ἱκετευόμενοι ὑπ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ τῶν εἰσαεὶ ἐσομένων ἀγαθῶν ἀπολαύσετε.
