To Florus 2.92

After the gift of grace, the modesty of those coupling should disappear; no semblance of repose should spread through their limbs; their senses should not undergo the burden of sweetness. Finally, free will should be restored to the baptized, so that, with nature corrected and the law of sin expelled, you would acknowledge that mortals can as readily shine with the brilliance of virtues as be repulsive with the filth of vices. Indeed, those initiated into the sacraments should not be mortal at all.
