To Florus 4.113
They may have spoken somewhat simply, or, while examining some other subject, may have had no need to meet questions arising on the side. They frequently praised marriage, thought no bodily feeling had been implanted by the devil, and did not subject God’s works—the members of nature—to the devil’s kingdom. They also explained, as occasions arose, marriage instituted by God and granted his blessing, and free choice. It is therefore humane to judge that they do not stand in fellowship with your wickedness if you find certain things ambiguously or carelessly placed in their writings. Just as the fact that all heresies conceal themselves behind some testimonies of holy Scripture and try to defend themselves by them does not count against Scripture, so I will not allow the reputation of catholic men to be surrendered because of some words poured out less cautiously. They did not intend to condemn marriage, deny free choice, or wound innocence. If they had intended this, they would not have strengthened your doctrine; they would have lost the honor of their office.
Latin
Quia videlicet et simplicius quaepiam dixerint, et quodcumque aliud speculantes, non habuerint necessitatem a latere surgentibus quaestionibus obviandi. Cum enim crebro laudaverint coniugia, et nullam in corporibus affectionem a diabolo insertam putarint, nec regno diaboli divina opera, id est naturae membra, subiecerint, sed et a Deo instituta coniugia ac benedictione donata, liberumque arbitrium, prout opportunitas attulit, explicarint; humanum est ut non stare in societate vestri sceleris iudicentur, si in scripturis illorum aut ambigue, aut negligenter quaepiam locata deprehenditis. Quomodo enim non praeiudicat Scripturis sanctis, quod omnes haereses aliquibus se earum testimoniis occulunt ac nituntur tueri; ita etiam catholicorum virorum famam propter quaepiam incautius fusa, non patiemur addici. Neque enim habuerunt intentionem illi, aut damnandi nuptias, aut liberum arbitrium denegandi, vel innocentiam sauciandi; quam si habuissent, non vestrum dogma firmassent, sed honorem officii perdidissent.
