To Florus 2.67
Although this transgression did not become natural, it was nevertheless a model of sin. Thus, although it does not burden those who are born, it accuses those who imitate it.
Latin
Quae praevaricatio licet non sit facta naturalis, fuit tamen forma peccati atque ob hoc licet non aggravet nascentes, tamen accusat imitantes.
About this text
Julian’s six preserved books to Florus, quoted section by section in Augustine’s unfinished reply. Augustine’s refutations are omitted. Latin of Julian’s words is on each section.
Julian’s own books do not survive as a separate manuscript. English follows his words as Augustine quotes them in the Unfinished Work Against Julian. Augustine’s replies are omitted. We do not restore a Julian text independent of Augustine.
