To Florus 4.96
Had you been asked about Adam’s actions, or whether he sinned by his will? That question will indeed soon be put against you. Granted, you enjoy deceiving others; but how ugly it is to deceive yourself! Yet I cannot persuade myself that you suffer such ugliness from conviction rather than fraud. In one and the same line you agree that an offense cannot exist without will, then immediately add that the sin which you said could not subsist without a free movement of mind reigns in all human beings without will.
Latin
Numquid de Adam operibus interrogatus eras, aut quaesitum fuerat, utrum ille voluntate peccasset? Quod quidem contra te mox quaeretur. Esto, aliis te delectet illudere; cuius deformitatis est, ut tu tibimet imponas? Quippe haud mihi valeo persuadere, quod tantam deformitatem non fraude, sed opinione patiaris. In uno eodemque versu assentiris, non posse esse sine voluntate delictum, et subdis protinus, peccatum quod sine motu animi libero manere non dixeras, in omnibus hominibus sine voluntate regnare.
