διὸ καὶ μᾶλλον χρῆναι τὸ ἀνθρώπειον γένος, οὐ σμικρὸν μέρος τύγχανον του παντος, κατὰ τὸ ἀκόλουθον τοῖς θείοις προσανέχειν διατάγμασι, μηδ’ ἐλαττοῦσθαι τῶν κατὰ μέρος στοιχείων. γῇ μὲν γὰρ ἐν ἀρχῇ νομοθετῆσαι τὸν φήσαντα “βλαστησάτω ἡ γῆ βοτάνην χόρτου, σπεῖρον σπέρμα κατὰ γένος, καὶ ξύλον κάρπιμον ποιοῦν καρπόν·” τὴν δὲ, ἅμα λόγῳ τὸ εὐπειθὲς ἐπιδεικνυμένην τῷ νόμῳ, οὔπω καὶ εἰς δεῦρο τῆς θείας παραμελῆσαι διατάξεως.
