To Florus 5.8

That Adam was to unite with his wife in no other way than the practice that developed is testified by the form of the organs, by God’s blessing pronounced no differently upon animals than upon human beings (Genesis 1:22, 28), and by the history itself, which shows bodily nature formed but does not declare it altered. Nothing against this universal testimony is found in God’s law—only in Mani’s books, which invent the claim that this sexual desire was poured in by the prince of darkness.
