To Florus 2.87
For if Adam, as you say, through natural sin begot everyone for condemnation and poured so much poison from his own body into his offspring that he disrupted every ordinance God had placed in human nature (compare Romans 5:18)— (Romans 5:18)
Latin
Si enim Adam, ut dicitis, peccato naturali generavit omnes in condemnationem tantumque de suis visceribus in sobolem virus effudit, ut in natura hominis cuncta Dei instituta turbaret.
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.
