Qui autem dicuntur Ebionaei, consentiunt quidem mundum a Deo factum: ea autem quae sunt erga Dominum, non similiter ut Cerinthus et Carpocrates opinantur. Solo autem eo quod est secundum Matthaeum Evangelio utuntur, et apostolum Paulum recusant, apostatam eum legis dicentes. Quae autem sunt prophetica, curiosius exponere nituntur; et circumciduntur ac perseverant in his consuetudinibus, quae sunt secundum legem, et Judaico charactere vitae, uti et Hieroslymam adorent, quasi domus sit Dei.
