Τί δὲ ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἀδελφιδοῦ καὶ ταῦτα οὐ καθηκόντως αὐτῷ χρησαμένου, ἀλλὰ τοῖς πρωτείοις ἐπιπηδήσαντος, οὐκ ἐποίησε καὶ ταῦτα μετὰ τὴν αἵρεσιν τῆς ἐκλογῆς; Οὐχὶ τὸ αἷμα ἐξέχεεν; οὐχὶ τοὺς οἰκέτας ἅπαντας ὥπλισεν; οὐκ εἰς φανερὸν κίνδυνον ἑαυτὸν ἐνέβαλεν; Ὅτε δὲ ἐκελεύσθη τὴν μὲν οἰκίαν ἀφεῖναι, εἰς δὲ τὴν ἀλλοτρίαν ἀπελθεῖν, οὐκ εὐθέως ὑπήκουσε καὶ πατρίδα καὶ φίλους καὶ συγγενεῖς καὶ πάντας ἀφεὶς καὶ τῷ προστάγματι πεισθεὶς τοῦ κελεύσαντος, τὰ μὲν δῆλα καταλιμπάνων, τοῖς δὲ ἀδήλοις πολλῷ σαφέστερον ἢ τοῖς δήλοις προσέχων, διὰ τὴν ὑπόσχεσιν τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὅπερ ἦν πίστεως ἐπιτεταμένης;
