75. So far as any one shuns adultery, so far he loves marriage, or, what is the same, so far as any one shuns the lasciviousness of adultery, so far he loves the chastity of marriage. This is because the lasciviousness of adultery and the chastity of marriage are two opposites; and therefore so far as a man is not in the one, so far he is in the other. It is precisely as was stated above No. 70.
