Julian quotation
Against Julian 5.3.13
When they are said to have been handed over to their own desires, we should understand that they were left alone through God’s patience, not forced into sins through his power.
Latin
Cum desideriis suis traditi dicuntur, relicti per divinam patientiam intelligendi sunt, non per potentiam in peccata compulsi
