To Florus 2.33
But after this blasphemy you add that, while you profess the pleasure of married people who beget children to be diabolical, and the movement of the genitals diabolical, nevertheless neither the moving organs themselves nor the married people experiencing pleasure are guilty. Instead, for all these things you accuse new human beings: the deity’s fresh handiwork in newborn children. You abandon none of the Manichaeans’ impiety, but display such monstrous madness of a deranged mind that it would more properly be judged a condition to nurse than to cut away—except that the ruin of many people, your obstinacy, and your proliferation of writings testify to your deliberate will and zeal in this matter.
Latin
Cum vero post hoc sacrilegium adiungis, et dicis, profiteri te diabolicam quidem esse gignentium coniugum voluptatem, diabolicam genitalium commotionem; sed tamen et ipsa membra quae moventur, et coniuges qui voluptate afficiuntur, reos non esse; verum pro his omnibus novos homines, id est, rude opus in nascentibus deitatis accusas; nihil quidem de Manichaeorum impietate deponis; sed tam immanem moti capitis ostendis furorem, ut consequentius fovendum, quam amputandum iudicaretur, nisi voluntatem ac studium in hac re tuum, et multorum eversio, et tua obstinatio, et Scripturarum multiplicatio loqueretur.
