[150] τεκμήριον δέ· ὁ μὲν ἐπὶ τὴν ἀρχαίαν ὑποτροπιάσας
νόσον οἰχήσεται ληφθεὶς αἰχμάλωτος ὑπὸ τῶν ἐν ψυχῇ πολεμίων, ὁ δὲ τὰς ἐξ ἐνέδρας ἐπιβουλὰς αὐτοῦ φυλαξάμενος πάσῃ μηχανῇ διοικισθήσεται. τὸν δὲ διοικισμὸν αὖθις μέν, οὔπω δὲ ποιήσεται. νῦν μὲν γὰρ τὰ θεωρήματα αὐτῷ ὡς ἂν ἄρτι ἀρχομένῳ τῆς θείας θεωρίας πλαδᾷ καὶ σαλεύει· ὅταν δ’ ἤδη παγέντα κραταιότερον ἱδρυθῇ, δυνήσεται
τὸ δελεάζον καὶ κολακεῦον ὡς ἐχθρὸν ἀκατάλλακτον καὶ δυσθήρατον φύσει διαζεῦξαι.

[150] And a proof of this is, that the one, having fallen back again into his ancient disease, departs, having been taken prisoner by those enemies who are in the soul; but the other, having guarded against all his designs, concealed in ambuscade, took every imaginable care to live at a distance from him. But the separate habitation he will arrange hereafter, but not yet. For at present, his speculations, as would be likely to be the case with a man who has but lately begun to apply himself to divine contemplation, have a want of solidity and steadiness in them. But when they have become more compact, and are established on a firmer footing, then he will be able to separate from himself the alluring and flattering disposition as an irreconcileable enemy, and one difficult to subdue:
