μετριωτέραν καὶ μείω τῶν παῤ Ἕλλησιν οὖσαν. Πολυπλασίους γὰρ εἶναι τὰς παῤ αὐτοῖς δόξας: καὶ ὡς ἐν πλήθει δογμάτων, ἀνάγκῃ τὴν περὶ ταῦτα διαφορὰν πλείους ἔριδας καὶ διαλέξεις ποιεῖν. Ἐπεὶ καὶ τῷ Θεῷ ἴσως μὴ ῥᾳδίως γινώσκεσθαι φίλον, καὶ διαφόρως δοξάζεσθαι, ὅπως ἕκαστος μᾶλλον φοβοῖτο, ἀκαταλήπτου οὔσης τῆς ἀκριβοῦς αὐτοῦ γνώσεως, ἀναλογιζόμενος τὸν ὅσον ἐφικέσθαι νομίζει πηλίκος τε καὶ οἷός ἐστιν.
