[166] ἐπὶ τούτῳ μάλιστα δυσχεράνας ὁ γήινος Ἐδὼμ — δέδιε γὰρ περὶ τῆς τῶν ἑαυτοῦ δογμάτων ἀνατροπῆς τε καὶ συγχύσεως — ἀπειλήσει πόλεμον
ἀκήρυκτον, εἰ βιαζοίμεθα διέρχεσθαι τέμνοντες καὶ κείροντες ἀεὶ τὸν τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ καρπόν, ὃν ἐπ’ ὀλέθρῳ φρονήσεως σπείρας οὐκ ἐθέρισε· φησὶ γάρ· „οὐ διελεύσῃ δι’ ἐμοῦ· εἰ δὲ μή γε, ἐν πολέμῳ ἐξελεύσομαί σοι εἰς ἀπάντησιν.“

[166] At this, the earthly Edom, being excessively indignant (for he is afraid of the overthrow and confusion of his own doctrines), will threaten us with irreconcilable wars, if we attempt to force our way along it, cutting down and clearing away continually as we advance the fruitful trees of his soul, which he planted for the destruction of wisdom, but has not gathered the fruit thereof; for he says, "Thou shalt not pass by me; and if thou dost, I will come forth in battle against thee to meet thee."
