To Florus 1.33

What evasions, then, what cushions of lies and absurdities, such as the prophet Ezekiel charges against unfaithful Jerusalem, will you offer me here (Ezekiel 13:18)? On these cushions womanish souls may recline, retaining the names of sacred mysteries even though they have committed open sacrilege against divinity itself. Set aside every conjuring trick and the crowds of common folk you so often summon, and show that what you try to establish through Holy Scripture is just.
