To Florus 1.120

I therefore see a great distance produced by the progress of your learning between you and Mani, the progenitor of your ideas. Although he introduced two authors, he left hope of salvation on the side on which he said that the good God was utterly removed from injustice and cruelty. You, however, by speaking of one good God who is also the Creator of evil people, have utterly abolished both reverence for divinity and hope of salvation.
