Title : Like our mean flesh, our holy soul, too, generates at the moment of sexual intercourse, and you should not be ashamed of this fact
[4] Immo si tempora seminum diuidentur, et materiae diuersae habebuntur ex distantia temporam. +++++ In addition, if the moment of sowing the seed of flesh and the moment of sowing the seed of soul are divided, then by the distance of those moments, there will be different oopotunity of birth for each (flesh and soul). (But such an inference is not allowed.) +++++ Nam etsi duas species confitebimur seminis, corporalem et animalem, indiscretas tamen uindicamus et hoc modo contemporales eiusdemque momenti. +++++++ For, even if we concede that there are two kinds of seed, one for the flesh, one for the soul, nevertheless we declare that they are undivided (or, indivisible) and so are in a synchronized (synchronous) existence. ++++++++ Ne itaque pudeat necessariae interpretationis. ++++++ So donāt feel ashamed to make an inevitable conclusion. +++++++ Natura ueneranda est, non erubescenda. ++++++ Nature is to be revered, not to be ashamed of. +++++++ Concubitum libido, non condicio foedauit. ++++++ What defiles the sexual intercouse is the lust, not the wedding. (* So you donāt have to feel ashamed of the fact that our holy soul, like our mean flesh, generates at the moment of sexual intercourse.) ++++++ Excessus, non status est impudicus, siquidem benedictus status apud deum: crescite et in multitudinem proficite, excessus uero maledictus, adulteria et stupra et lupanaria. +++++++ What is lewd is to lose self-control in sexual intercourse, not the wedding. The wedding is blessed before God : Be Born, And Grow Into A Great Number. But on the other hand, to lose self-cntrol in sexual intercourse is cursed as an adultery, shameful lewdness, and whoredom.
