To Florus 4.14

Still, let us see which of my statements you have seized on to attack under the name of error. “But amid all these things,” you say, “he was unwilling to name the desire of the flesh, which is not from the Father but from the world. The devil is called the ruler of this world. He did not find this desire in the Lord, because the Lord came among human beings as a man without it” (Augustine, On Marriage and Concupiscence 2.5.14; compare 1 John 2:16; John 14:30). You certainly said I was introducing a heresy, but you add none of my words to prove it.
