Another Allusion to Marcion's Castration (as penance for corrupting a virgin)

[Secret Alias]

From Eznik:

Moreover, where did the priesthood come to him, (to him) who, having corrupted a virgin, was removed from the Church by his father, when he was not even worthy to arrive at penance? And quite precisely he was not worthy of it, because, on the orders of the Holy Spirit, he dared to throw down his hand, to cut off, to reject a part as (thing) useless, and to choose, and to take the other (part) as useful. And he does not know that: when one cuts a finger from the body, this small cut part affects all (the parts) of the body. More still, (Marcion) is condemned by (Jesus Christ) coming to perfect the laws, who said: I did not come to dissolve the laws and the prophets, but to fulfill them.
