To Florus 1.59

Hear, then, a brief reply to what you said. The hearts your speech addresses are not those of the catholic Church if they are at odds with piety and reason. They offend against both when they neither think rightly about God's fairness nor understand the wisdom and riches of the mysteries they malign. This is no faith handed down and established from ancient times, except in councils of evildoers: inspired by the devil, proclaimed by Mani, celebrated by Marcion, Faustus, Adimantus, and all their followers, and now belched out by you into Italy, to our profound grief.
