THE LAW OF MONOGAMY

TERTULLIAN: I will call your attention to the law of monogamy. The very origin of the human race sanctions it. [1] It is abundantly clear that God ordained it at the beginning as a pattern for posterity. For after he had made Adam, and had foreseen the necessity of providing a helpmate for him, he borrowed from his loins one alone. [2] One woman only did he design for man. EXHORTATION TO CHASTITY 5.
