[it] and before writing you [the] blessed [ones] [who] according to the prophetic argument, as [a] dog [returning] to [his] own vomit the [things] [which] [are] good according to their faith unpleasantly [I] say [they] have the [stinking] [things] to return; for [it is] indeed [the] Simons and [the] Demases and [the] Hermogeneses choosing [to] prefer [the] falsehood of [the] truth and in nothing unjustly as they think by [the] apostasy the heralds of [the] piety [they] blaspheme rather justly by [the] deprivation of [the] grace; and not even the present struggle through which of [the] truth [they] stood [up] [having] [it] dear [as] [they] are able. According to [the] nature [being] unshaken and unchangeable, and always flowing past [those] [who] think [it] time; for truly [it] is unpleasant, and stinking [in the] middle, and of all grace [is] deserted, every argument not jointly preaching according to [the] nature in the one Christ [the] things from which Christ [is], after the ineffable union. But as [if] denying the whole economy of God concerning [the] man and taking [the] word and God, the [thing] having been taken from the immaculate and holy all-glorious virgin and according to truth [the] God-receiving body rationally [having] been ensouled; for having been taken away truly by [the] name even if [it] seems [to] the naked [ones] [who] confess [it], [the] body [from] those [who] hear these [things] touching, and entirely [it] denies the incarnation, if after the union [one] might not say jointly indeed and [by the] bond of the flesh [the] nature unconfusedly and indivisibly

But only declarative of [the] quantity of the underlying things; as [if] according to the need [they] might happen [to] have [it], whether united, or separated; for example so that [we] might say what [you] trust [by] name beside apart of the on it [of] the meaningful [of the] activity of the beings [by] necessity physical [the] number makes distinction or quantity; neither of the [things] joined according to the same already from itself [it] works the continuity; nor indeed of anything at all [it] has [the] characteristic property of the [things] under the same form beside [that] [is] clearly towards accidents distinguished individuals; for these [things] all of the divine wisdom and of power [they] have been established [as] own, from which the all having [been] constituted and...
