To Florus 2.26

He then assembled the rest, although varying some expressions. Against these objections of mine he devised nothing that could strike back at me. Confessing through his lack of an argument that my conclusion was true, he says that the apostle must answer all these points for him—the apostle who declares that sin entered this world through one man (Romans 5:12). At this point, what educated person could think him sound in the head? He did not understand that he should either pass over objections against which he could find nothing, or think up some answer to them and attach the apostle’s words in support of it.
