To Florus 1.51

For this God of mine, whom all creation and Holy Scripture proclaim to me as I believe him to be, I said I would act more rightly if I did not consider you worthy even of a contest in books. But holy men, the confessors of our time, have assigned this task particularly to me: to examine what weight and reason your statements contain. It was therefore appropriate to show first that you do not believe in the God who has always been proclaimed in the Church of the catholics and will continue to be proclaimed wherever that Church is found, until the end.
