χρὴ μέντοι μηδ’ ἐκεῖνο ἀγνοεῖν, ὅτι τὸν μὲν πρῶτον ἄνθρωπον τὸν γηγενῆ πατέρα τῶν ἄχρι τοῦ κατακλυσμοῦ φύντων εἰσήγαγε, τὸν δὲ μόνον ἐκ τῆς τοσαύτης φθορᾶς ὑπολειφθέντα πανοίκιον ἕνεκα δικαιοσύνης καὶ τῆς ἄλλης καλοκἀγαθίας τοῦ νεάσοντος αὖθις καινοῦ γένους ἀνθρώπων, τὴν δὲ περίσεμνον τριάδα καὶ περιμάχητον ἑνὸς εἴδους ἐπιλεγομένου „βασίλειον καὶ ἱεράτευμα καὶ ἔθνος ἅγιον“ (Exod. 19, 6) οἱ χρησμοὶ καλοῦσι. μηνύει δὲ τοὔνομα τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ·
