28. But why speak of the Apostle, when the
Lord Himself cries through the prophet: “Hearken unto Me,
My people, ye who know judgment, in whose heart is My
law.” Isa. li. 7. God
says: “Hearken unto Me, My people, ye that know
judgment.” Auxentius says: Ye know not
judgment. Do you see how he condemns God in you, who rejects the
voice of the heavenly oracle: “Hearken unto Me, My
people,” says the Lord. He says not, “Hearken, ye
Gentiles,” nor does He say, “Hearken, ye Jews.”
For they who had been the people of the Lord
have now become the people of error, and
they who were the people of error have begun to be the people of God;
for they have believed on Christ. That people then judges in
whose heart is the divine, not the human law, the law not written in
ink, but in the spirit of the living God; 2 Cor. iii. 3.
not set down on paper, but stamped upon the heart. Who then, does
you a wrong, he who refuses, or he who chooses to be heard by
you?
