To Florus 1.111
Rather, let them run to the one who cries: “My yoke is gentle and my burden light” (Matthew 11:30). With immeasurable generosity he both grants pardon to an evil will and, through renewal and adoption, makes better the innocence that he creates good.
Latin
Sed currant ad eum qui clamat: Iugum meum suave est, et onus meum leve est [n299] ; qui et malae voluntati veniam pro inaestimabili liberalitate largitur, et innocentiam, quam creat bonam, facit innovando adoptandoque meliorem.
About this text
Julian’s six preserved books to Florus, quoted section by section in Augustine’s unfinished reply. Augustine’s refutations are omitted. Latin of Julian’s words is on each section.
Julian’s own books do not survive as a separate manuscript. English follows his words as Augustine quotes them in the Unfinished Work Against Julian. Augustine’s replies are omitted. We do not restore a Julian text independent of Augustine.
