To Florus 2.210
Having explained grace’s generosity in the abundance of people saved, he compares the gift and sin. With great learning he praises the gift for healing many wounds by one power: ‘And the gift,’ he says, ‘is not as it was through one sin’ (Romans 5:16).
Latin
Exposita liberalitate gratiae in hominum salvatorum copia comparat donum atque peccatum et eruditissime ad laudem doni applicat, quod multis vulneribus una virtute medicetur: Et non sicut per unum - inquit - peccatum ita et donum.
