Ab his adulteria huiusmodi salutaris disciplinae subornata, ab his quaedam etiam fabulae inmissae quae de similitudine fidem infirmarent veritatis vel eam sibi potius evincerent, ut quis ideo non putet Christianis credendum quia nec potis nec philosophis, vel ideo magis potis et philosophis existimet credendum quia non Christianis.
It is they who have produced these falsifications of wholesome doctrine; they who have launched the fables, which by their resemblance weaken the credibility of Truth or rather capture belief for themselves. So a man may think the Christians  unworthy of belief because the poets and philosophers are unworthy of it; or he may think that poets and philosophers deserve the more belief because they are not Christians.
