If someone is looking for eloquence, or if someone delights in declamations, he has in the two languages Demosthenes and Tullius (Cicero), Polemon and Quintilian. The church of Christ has not been gathered from the Academy and the Lyceum, but from the common rabble.I don't have access to Giacomo Raspanti, ed., S. Hieronymi Presbyteri Opera, Pars I: Opera Exegetica, 6: Commentarii in Epistulam Pauli Apostoli ad Galatas (Turnhout: Brepols, 2006 = Corpus Christianorum, Series Latina, vol. 77A).
Si quis eloquentiam quaerit, vel declamationibus delectatur, habet in utraque lingua Demosthenem et Tullium, Polemonem et Quintillianum. Ecclesia Christi non de Academia, et Lyceo, sed de vili plebecula congregata est.
