7. Ὡς μὲν οὖν συντόμως ἔστιν εἰπεῖν, αὐτάρκως οἶμαί σοι δεδεῖχθαι καὶ τὴν ἐξ ἀνθρώπων παρεισδύσασαν νομοθεσίαν καὶ αὐτὸν τὸν τοῦ θεοῦ νόμον τριχῆ διαιρόμενον. περιλείπεται Τε ἡμῖν τίς ποτέ ἐστιν οὖτος ὁ θεὸς ὁ τὸν νόμον δέμενος. ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῦτο ἡγοῦμαί σοι δεδεῖχθαι ἐπὶ τῶν προειρημένων, εἰ ἐπιμελῶς ἀκήκοας. εἰ γὰρ μήτε ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ τοῦ τελείου δεοῦ τέθειται οὖτος, ὡς ἐδιδάξαμεν, μήτε μὴν ὑπὸ ροῦ διαβόλου, ὅ μηδὲ δεμιτόν ἐστιν εἰπεῖν, ἔτερός τίς ἐστι παρὰ τούτους οὖτος ὁ δέμενος τὸς νόμον. οὖτος δὲ δημιουργὸς καὶ ποιητὴς τοῦδς τοῦ παντός ἐστι κόσμου καὶ τῶν ἐν αὐτῷ· ἕτερος ὤν παρὰ τὰς τούτων οὐσίας μέσος > τοὐτων καθεστώς, ἐνδίκως καὶ τὸ τῆς μεσότητος ὅνομα ἀποφέροιτο ἄν.
