Διὰ δὲ τούτων δεδήλωκεν ἑτέραν κλοπήν, ὧν σεσύληκεν. Ἀκηκοέναι γάρ μοι δοκεῖ τοῦ θεσπεσίου Δαυὶδ λέγοντος· «Οἱ οὐρανοὶ διηγοῦνται δόξαν Θεοῦ, ποίησιν δὲ χειρῶν αὐτοῦ ἀναγγέλλει τὸ στερέωμα.» Καὶ μετ' ὀλίγα δὲ δείκνυσι τὸ τῶν γεγενημένων διάφορον, καί φησιν· «Τὰ μὲν τοῦ εἶναι μετέχειν δοκεῖ μόνον, τὰ δὲ τοῦ ζῆν, τὰ δὲ μᾶλλον ἐν τῷ αἰσθάνεσθαι, τὰ δὲ ἤδη λόγον ἔχει, τὰ δὲ πᾶσαν ζωήν. Οὐδὲ γὰρ τὰ ἴσα ἀπαιτεῖν δεῖ τοῖς μὴ ἴσοις· οὐδὲ γὰρ δακτύλων τὸ βλέπειν, ἀλλ' ὀφθαλμῶν τοῦτο· δακτύλου δὲ ἄλλο, τὸ εἶναι οἶμαι δακτύλῳ καὶ τὸ αὑτοῦ ἔχειν.»
