To Florus 3.152

It is therefore clear that we do not deny the benefit of Christ’s grace to infants. What controversy remains, then, for which the advocate of inherited sin accuses us of error? That we do not agree that Adam’s nature was made good but everyone else’s evil? I freely acknowledge that we not only refuse to agree but attack this with all our strength. Put aside, then, those childishly twisted nets of your inventions and the popular bogeys through which you whispered that we deny Christ’s grace to the cradle. Let us contend over the central issue of the dispute. Following the order I promised, now that I have defended our views, let us weigh yours and those of Mani, whom you pretended to oppose.
