To Florus 2.102

Consequently, if truth still has any place in human affairs, and the whole world has not been utterly deafened by the uproar of injustice, it will acknowledge that reason, argument, the apostle’s faith, and his own statement as witness have fully demonstrated this: the distance between advocates of inherited sin and catholics is as great as that between Paul and Mani, between wisdom and foolishness, between reason and insanity, between consistent statements and the fluctuation you endure with extraordinary disgrace. Almost in the same lines, you deny what you said and affirm what you denied.
