To Florus 2.117
Instead, it makes the good better. It raises everyone it receives to the same summit of sanctification, but does not find everyone in the same swamp of vices. It finds some in the condition of the innocent, others engaged in wrongdoing. This is what we say, protected by sound faith, reason’s support, and reverent understanding. Through it Christ’s grace is rightly praised and no guilt is attributed to God. Yet you say the sacrament’s authority totters. With a sharpness blunter than any pestle, you assert that grace loses its authority unless the crime of slander is attributed to it, unless it overturns the institutions of justice, unless it charges those without knowledge with the guilt of another’s conscience. Finally, you say it accomplishes nothing unless it is proclaimed to operate uniformly in everyone.
