Arnobius — Against the Nations 2.15
15.1. Therefore there is nothing that should deceive us, nothing that should promise us empty hopes—that which is said by certain new men and ones lifted up by an immoderate opinion of themselves—that souls are immortal, nearest to the Lord and Prince of things in grade of dignity, brought forth from that Begetter and Father, divine, wise, learned, and no longer touchable by any handling of the body.
2. Because this is true and certain, and we have been brought forth from a perfect, unamendable perfection, we live blameless and therefore unreproveable, good, just, and upright, of no vicious matter; no desire conquers us, no lust dishonors us; we keep and make whole the course of all virtues. 3. And because the souls of us all flow down from one fountain, for that reason we feel one agreeing thing; we do not differ in manners or opinions; we all know the same things, and there are not as many opinions as there are humans on earth, nor ones split by infinite variety.
Latin
15.1. Quare nihil est quod nos fallat, nihil quod nobis polliceatur spes cassas, id quod a novis quibusdam dicitur viris et inmoderata sui opinione sublatis, animas immortales esse, domino rerum ac principi gradu proximas dignitatis, genitore illo ac patre prolatas, divinas sapientes doctas neque ulla iam corporis attrectatione contiguas.
2. Quod quia verum et certum est, et a perfecto sumus inemendabili perfectione prolati, inculpabiles et ideo inreprehensibiles vivimus, boni iusti et recti, vitiositatis nullius rei, nulla cupiditas nos vincit, nulla libido dehonestat, virtutum omnium servamus atque integramus tenorem. 3. Et quia uno ex fonte omnium nostrum defluunt animae, idcirco unum conveniensque sentimus, non moribus, non opinionibus discrepamus, idem omnes novimus nec, quot in orbe sunt homines, non sunt sententiae totidem neque infinita varietate discretae.
