ἡλίκου τοίνυν νοῦ ἡμῖν δεῖ, ἵνα τὸν ἐν τοῖς ὀστρακίνοις τῆς εὐτελοῦς λέξεως θησαυροῖς ἐναποκείμενον λόγον, τοῦ ὑπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐντυγχανόντων ἀναγιγωσκομένου γράμματος καὶ ὑπὸ πάντων τῶν παρεχόντων τὰς σωματικὰς ἀκοὰς ἀκουομένου αἰσθητοῦ διὰ φωνῆς λόφου ἐκλαβεῖν κατ’ δυνηθῶμεν, δυνηθῶμεν, τί δεῖ καὶ λέγειν; τὸν γὰρ μέλλοντα ταῦτα ἀκριβῶς καταλαμβάνειν μετὰ ἀληθείας εἰπεῖν όεἶ· » Ἡμεῖς δὲ νοῦν Χριστοῦ ἔχομεν, ἵνα εἰδῶμεν τὰ ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ χαρισ- » θέντα ἡμῖν. «
