Πικρὸν οὖν ἄρα καὶ ἀπευκτὸν ἀληθῶς τὸ δυσβουλίας εἰς τοῦτο κατολισθεῖν, ὡς δι’ οὐδενὸς μὲν ποιεῖσθαι τολμᾶν τὴν εἰς Θεὸν ἀγάπησιν, προσκεῖσθαι δὲ τοῖς ἀτόποις καὶ δρᾶν ἃ μὴ θέμις, καὶ καταλυπεῖν αὐτὸν, οἴεσθαι δὲ ὅτι, μὴ αὐτοῦ διδόντος, ἔσται τι τῶν ἀγαθῶν ἐφ’ ἡμῖν· “Πᾶσα γὰρ δόσις “ἀγαθὴ καὶ πᾶν δώρημα τέλειον ἄνωθέν ἐστι, καταβαῖνον παρὰ τοῦ Πατρὸς τῶν φώτων·” αὐτῷ δὴ ἄρα προσκεῖσθαι καλὸν, καὶ αὐτὸν ἐλπίδα ποιεῖσθαι καὶ ἀρωγόν. ἐξουθενοῦσι δὲ τὴν Σιῶν, τουτέστι τὴν Ἐκκλησίαν, καὶ οἱ τῶν ἀνοσίων δογμάτων προεστηκότες, καὶ ἐπί γε ταῖς σφῶν αὐτῶν εὐγλωττίαις ἐπιθαρσήσαντες, καὶ μεγαλοφρονεῖν εἰωθότες ἐπὶ τοῖς τῶν ἀνοσίων συλλογισμῶν εὑρήμασι καὶ σοφίᾳ τῇ κοσμικῇ. πρέποι δ’ ἂν αὐτοῖς καὶ πρό γε τῶν ἄλλων το ουαι.
