1. Five Main Conclusions

6. For the solution of the questions to be treated of concerning matrimony, there are here certain things deserving of note that need to be set down first.

7. And let this be the first main conclusion: it is an honorable thing that male and female are mutually conjoined or obligated to each other in an indissoluble bond, for procreating offspring to be duly educated.

8. Second conclusion: it is an honorable thing that male and female mutually hand over to each other in their perpetuity the power of their own bodies for procreating offspring to be duly educated.

9. Third conclusion: it is fitting that this mutual giving was instituted and approved by God, and so was it done.

10. Fourth conclusion: it is fitting that to this contract of mutual giving some sacrament was annexed, and so was it done.

11. The fifth conclusion is: in matrimony many distinct things (and which things) come together.
