On the Change of Names
[206] The parents too who accuse their son of wine-bibbing seem to make a like use of the pronoun. They say “This son of ours is disobedient” (Deut. 21:20), and thus by the addition of “this” they shew that they have other sons, strong-willed and self-controlling, who obey the injunctions of right reason and instruction. For these two are the soul’s parents who can never lie, and to be accused by them is the greatest disgrace, as their praise is the highest glory.
