To Florus 6.24

But why should hostility toward innocence arouse indignation against you, when the insolence and fury of your obscene mouth are not restrained even by reverence for divinity? You accuse infants, but God with them; you attack innocence, but also wrong fairness; you deny truth, but accuse the one you acknowledge as your god. Consequently, although we would not lack the help of reason, the transmission of sin would collapse more than sufficiently through its advocates’ deformity.
