διόπερ εὔχεται Μωυσῆς αὐτῷ τῷ θεῷ χρῆσθαι ἡγεμόνι πρὸς τὴν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἄγουσαν ὁδόν· λέγει γάρ· „εἰ μὴ αὐτὸς σὺ συμπορεύῃ, μή με ἀναγάγῃς ἐντεῦθεν“ (Exod. 33, 15)· διότι πᾶσα κίνησις ἡ ἄνευ θείας ἐπιφροσύνης ἐπιζήμιον, καὶ ἄμεινον ἐνταυθοῖ καταμένειν τὸν θνητὸν βίον ἀλητεύοντας, ὡς τὸ πλεῖστον ἀνθρώπων γένος, ἢ πρὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἐξάραντας ἑαυτοὺς ὑπὸ ἀλαζονείας ἀνατραπῆναι· καθάπερ μυρίοις συνέβη τῶν σοφιστῶν, οἵτινες ᾠήθησαν σοφίαν πιθανὴν εἶναι λόγων εὕρεσιν, ἀλλ’ οὐ πραγμάτων ἀληθεστάτην πίστιν.
