διὰ τοῦτ’ ἐν προτρεπτικοῖς Μωυσῆς φησιν· „ἐὰν ἐξέλθῃς εἰς πόλεμον ἐπ’ ἐχθρούς σου καὶ ἴδῃς ἵππον καὶ ἀναβάτην καὶ λαὸν πλείονα, οὐ φοβηθήσῃ, ὅτι κύριος ὁ θεὸς μετὰ σοῦ“ (Deut. 20,1)· θυμοῦ γὰρ καὶ ἐπιθυμίας καὶ συνόλως ἁπάντων παθῶν, πασῶν δὲ καὶ τῶν ἄλλων κακιῶν ἐποχουμένων ὥσπερ ἵπποις ἑκάστοις λογισμῶν, κἂν ἀμάχῳ ῥώμῃ κεχρῆσθαι νομίζωσιν, ἀλογητέον τοὺς ἔχοντας τὴν τοῦ μεγάλου βασιλέως θεοῦ δύναμιν ὑπερασπίζουσαν καὶ προαγωνιζομένην αἰεὶ καὶ πανταχοῦ.
