[179]
Τοῦτο πρῶτον ἁπάντων τὴν θαυμαστὴν ὁμόνοιαν ἡμῖν
ἐμπεποίηκεν: τὸ γὰρ μίαν μὲν ἔχειν καὶ τὴν αὐτὴν δόξαν περὶ
θεοῦ, τῷ βίῳ δὲ καὶ τοῖς ἔθεσι μηδὲν ἀλλήλων διαφέρειν, καλλίστην
ἐν ἤθεσιν ἀνθρώπων συμφωνίαν ἀποτελεῖ.
[180]
παρ᾽ ἡμῖν γὰρ
μόνοις οὔτε περὶ θεοῦ λόγους ἀκούσεταί τις ἀλλήλοις ὑπεναντίους,
ὁποῖα πολλὰ παρ᾽ ἑτέροις οὐχ ὑπὸ τῶν τυχόντων μόνον κατὰ τὸ
προσπεσὸν ἑκάστῳ λέγεται πάθος, ἀλλὰ καὶ παρά τισι τῶν φιλοσόφων
ἀποτετόλμηται, τῶν μὲν τὴν ὅλην τοῦ θεοῦ φύσιν ἀναιρεῖν
τοῖς λόγοις ἐπικεχειρηκότων, ἄλλων δὲ τὴν ὑπὲρ ἀνθρώπων αὐτὸν
[181]
πρόνοιαν ἀφαιρουμένων: οὔτ᾽ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασι τῶν βίων ὄψεται
διαφοράν, ἀλλὰ κοινὰ μὲν ἔργα πάντων παρ᾽ ἡμῖν, εἷς δὲ λόγος
ὁ τῷ νόμῳ συμφωνῶν περὶ θεοῦ πάντα λέγων ἐκεῖνον ἐφορᾶν.
καὶ μὴν περὶ τῶν κατὰ τὸν βίον ἐπιτηδευμάτων, ὅτι δεῖ πάντα
τἆλλα τέλος ἔχειν τὴν εὐσέβειαν, καὶ γυναικῶν ἀκούσειεν ἄν τις
καὶ τῶν οἰκετῶν.
