To Florus 3.83
Taken together, these points require one of two conclusions: either God must be believed to be what the Manichaean advocate of inherited sin invents, or you, together with everyone accepting the doctrine of inherited sin, must be recognized as the kind of person the God we honor opposes. But God cannot be what Mani dreams. He is the good, just, and true God whom all holy Scripture, the whole law, and our faith worship. Consequently, such is your doctrine that, just as it is accepted by dishonoring God, it is destroyed by honoring him.
Latin
Quibus collectis alterum teneatur necesse est ex duobus: videlicet ut aut talis credatur Deus, qualem confingit Traducianus Manichaeus, aut talis intellegaris cum omnibus, qui in traducis scita concedunt, qualem deproeliatur honoratus Deus. Non autem potest esse Deus talis, qualem Manichaeus somniat, sed est pius et iustus et verus Deus, qualem omnis sancta Scriptura, omnis lex et fides nostra veneratur. Ac per hoc, hoc est tuum dogma, quod ut cum Dei iniuria suscipitur, ita cum eius honore destruitur.
