“If, then,” I say, “offspring come only through sex, sex only through a body, and a body only through God, who could doubt that fertility is rightly attributed to God?”This is so certain that it forced even your mouth to praise it.But after paying this passage your tribute, you warn that a heresy is being introduced, although the words I added merely repeated what had come before, with an explanation attached.
