αἴτιον δὲ τῆς ἀνεπιστημοσύνης μέγιστον ἡ σὰρξ καὶ ἡ πρὸς σάρκα οἰκείωσις· καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ὁμολογεῖ φάσκων „διὰ τὸ εἶναι αὐτοὺς σάρκας“ μὴ δύνασθαι τὸ θεῖον πνεῦμα καταμεῖναι. καίτοι καὶ γάμος καὶ παιδοτροφία καὶ πορισμὸς τῶν ἀναγκαίων ἀδοξία τε μετὰ ἀχρηματίας καὶ πραγματεῖαι, ὧν αἱ μὲν ἴδιαι αἱ δὲ κοιναί, καὶ μυρία ἄλλα, πρὶν σοφίαν ἀνθῆσαι, κατεμάραναν.
