Although it is not proved that there was only one God before the creation without any material causes, even then we proceed on and ask whether these souls when created by God were Pure, (2) whether they were endowed with merits, (3) whether they were impregnated with sins, (4) whether they were mixed with virtue and sin together, (5) whether they had more sin and less virtue and (6) whether they had more virtue and less sin. If you maintain the first position, then all the souls in the world ought to be pure and all the injunctions of the scriptures regarding them ought to be futile. Besides, the author of these scriptures is also proved to be unwise ; for it was useless to compose these scriptures for the guidance of the souls which were already pure.
