Julian quotation
Against Julian 6.10.32
When God grants the glory of regeneration to infants who have deserved neither good nor evil by anything of their own, he teaches by that very act that they belong to his care, his right, and his dominion: he anticipates their will with the lavish gift of an inexpressible benefit.
Latin
Quod cum Deus parvulis nihil de proprio tam boni quam mali merentibus gloriam regenerationis attribuit, hoc ipso eos ad suam curam, ad suum ius, ad suum dominium pertinere docet, quod eorum voluntatem ineffabilis praevenit beneficii largitate
