Et reliqui autem qui falso nomine Gnostici dicuntur, qui prophetas ex diversis diis prophetias fecisse dicunt, facile destruentur ex hoc, quod omnes prophetae ununi Deum et Dominum preedicaverint, et ipsum factorem coeli et terree et omnium quae in eis sunt, 'et quod adventum Filii ejus significaverint, secundum quod ex ipsis demonstrabimus Scripturis in libris consequentibus.
Si autem quidam secundum 2Hebrseain linguam diverse dictiones positas in Scripturis opponant, quale est Sabaoth, et Eloe, et Adonai, et alia quaecunque sunt talia, ex his ostendere elaborantes diversas virtutes atque deos: discant quoniam unius et ipsius significations et nuncupationes sunt omnia hujusmodi.
