Do you see how hostile this grateful praise of God is to your opinion? It says that he creates souls and loves them. You deny this, swearing that innocent souls are under the devil and hated by God, though they possess nothing except what they received from their author.

Latin

Cernisne quam infesta sit opinioni vestrae gratificatio Dei laudatoris? Dicit eum condere animas, et amare; quod a vobis negatur, qui iuratis innocentium animas esse sub diabolo, et exosas Deo; cum nihil habeant aliud, quam quod ab auctore sortitae sunt.
