Πῶς οὖν ὑπέσχετο ἕτερα καὶ ἐναντία ἐπιτάττει νῦν; Τούτων οὐδὲν οὐκ εἶπεν, οὐκ ἐνενόησεν· ἀλλὰ πάλιν ἐπὶ τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ ἐπαγγειλαμένου καταφυγὼν τὴν ἄφατον, τὴν εὐμήχανον, τὴν εὔπορον, τὴν διὰ τῶν ἐναντίων διαλάμπουσαν, τὴν ἀνωτέραν τῶν τῆς φύσεως νόμων, τὴν πάντων δυνατωτέραν, τὴν οὐδὲν ἔχουσαν τὸ ἀντιπῖπτον καὶ τοῦτο μετὰ πολλῆς τῆς πληροφορίας τὸ ἐπίταγμα ἤνυε καὶ ἔσφαξε τὸν υἱὸν καὶ ᾕμαξε τὴν δεξιὰν καὶ ἐφοίνιξε τὸ ξίφος καὶ διὰ τῆς δειρῆς τὴν μάχαιραν ἤλασεν· εἰ γὰρ καὶ μὴ τῷ ἔργῳ, ἀλλὰ τῇ γνώμῃ ταῦτα πάντα ἐπλήρωσε.
