Whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.' 6. Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. It prohibits Onanism, or self pollution. It prohibits every kind and degree of licentiousness, in word, thought, desire, and action. Reasons of this command.
Marriage is a necessity of our nature, both moral and physical.
The species must be propagated. So propagated as to secure the highest physical and moral perfection of the race. Children must be born within the lawful bonds of marriage, to secure to them parental affection, with that nurture, training, and maintenance that is essential to their highest well being. Marriage is, therefore, wholly indispensable to the highest well being of the race. But the benefits of marriage will be entirely excluded, unless licentiousness be prevented.
