Against Julian 3.23.52

A human being is not guilty if born from sexual immorality, but is not innocent if born from marriage.

He charges all parents’ sins to all their children.

Hominem, si de fornicatione nascatur, reum non esse; si de coniugio, innocentem non esse

quia peccata omnium parentum omnibus filiis imputarem

exerces gloriosa certamina
