All literary learning testifies that you have achieved nothing against me. The conflict between your statements shows how you struggle against the apostle and rage against God. But now that we have shown that things separated by their very nature cannot be joined, let us question the apostle too. Otherwise the barbarity proved to exist in your statements might be thought to exist in his understanding.

Latin

Quam mecum nihil egeris, litterarum omnium testatur eruditio; quam vero contra Apostolum nitaris, et contra Deum insanias, sententiarum tuarum pugna demonstrat. Sed ostenso iam, non posse haec coniungi, quae rerum natura dissociat; interrogemus et Apostolum, ne illius putetur inesse sensibus, quae in tuis est sententiis probata barbaries.
