Car chescun aime miex Ic sicn propre et lie veult pas estre injurié. T. Et rien ne est plus grant ne plus propre a femme ou resgart de son mari que Societe ou coinpaignie honorable et loiai. G. Et donques se elk estoit (lefrauclec et perdoit ceste chose, elle seroit / ( 343d) triste et truhlee et cureroit moult moms des autres choses et par cc, le ostel unit a honte. T. Item, car ce ne est pas chose avenante ne appartenante a homme de same pensee qu'il mette sa semence partout Ia on ii eschiet. G. Et ne lui chant ou convient, Si coiiuiie font les Sodoflutes. T. Ne qtie ii mette sa propre sentence indifferentement a chescune femme de qui ii approce. C. Apres il met a cc .iii. causes pour iii. iiauiivunicns qui s'ensuiroient. T. Aim que as 1 bastars mal engendrés et iniques ne soient faictes choses semblables si comme as filz frans et legitimes. G. Car ii convendroit appeller les fllz et nourrir les. Et ce est selon aucuns textes on ii a similia; et selon aucuns autres ou ii a similes l'en peut dire ainsi: Ou afin que les T. And if he cares for no other woman more or so much as for her, // (343c) but esteems her and considers and regards her as his very own loyal friend before all other women. C. This is a precept which he now proves by three arguments. T. For if the wife knows and perceives that her husband loves her and belongs to no other woman and behaves loyally and justly towards her, she will he all the more zealous to he faithful and righteous toward him likewise. C. Next lie points out the different kinds of honors. T. Therefore, it is not right that a prudent man should remain ignorant of the honors which he properly owes to his parents and those due to his wife and also those that are suitable and proper for his children, so that since he properly attributes to each person those honors which are rightly his, he may be held to be both just and holy. C. For as is explained more fully in Ethics IX, 3, one kind of honor is due to the father and another kind to the mother and another to the wife and still another to his brothers and another kind to others, etc. T. For everyone suffers and resents most grievously when he is deprived of the honor due him. C. Because honor is the most precious of external goods, as shown in Ethics I V, 13. T. And even if one is given abundantly of those things which rightly belong to others, he will not accept such things gladly if deprived of his own. C. Because everyone prefers to have what belongs to him and does not want to be slighted. T. And nothing is more important to a wife or more properly her right in her relations with her husband than honorable and loyal partnership and companionship with 111111. C. And, therefore, if site were cheated and lost this relationship, she would be / ( 343d) saddened and disturbed and she would take much less care of other things and thus the household would fall into shameful neglect. T. For it is neither proper nor fitting that a man of sound mind should scatter his seed about wherever it may fall. C. Nor is it necessary or right, as the Sodomites do. T. Nor that he plant his seed indifferently in every woman he comes near. C. Next he gives three causes for three inconveniences which would follow. T. So that the bastard children of sin may not he treated as equals of the authentically legitimate children. C. For these bastard children will have to be called his children and be brought upand fed. And this translation follows certain texts which read .cinzilia; and according to

Because children are generally much like their father and like one another. And those women are wicked who give themselves to men who are not their husbands. Thus we have translated and doubly explained the first inconvenience. T. And so that the wife may not be robbed of her honor.. C. This would he the second inconvenience. T. And in order that no shame should attach or cling to the legitimate children. C. It is a great shame for a man when people cars say that his mother was not chaste. And a man must be more virtuous than woman. Perhaps, therefore, it is true and reasonable to consider it to be a greater reproach even // (344a) when people can say to a man that his father did not keep faith or honor with his mother and that his father was a debauched person. T. Therefore, a man imist give reverent attention to these matters, that is to say, diligent care. 5. In the fifth chapter he gives at/icr precepts to make the wife a good woman. T. It is a decent, proper and fitting procedure that the husband should approach his wife when she is calm and composed. C. With regard to good morals and to the matter of sexual relations. Because in the preceding chapter Aristotle has shown that the husband should touch no other woman than his own wife, in this chapter he first states how he should approach his own. T. With great courtesy and modesty or self-restraint and also with awe and humility, speaking to her such words concerning carnal union as are fitting and suitable to the lawful anti honorable performance of the sexual act. C. For should he approach her too roughly and shamelessly and use indecent language and behave in a dissolute manner, he would make her too brazen and incline her to incontinence and to lust after another man. And this is not the way chaste persons act but rather the manner of incontinent men toward wanton women. Next lie sets down another precept. T. He should treat her with great modesty and selfrestraint and trust, forgiving and pardoning her trivial and spontaneous mistakes. C. Such as certain negligences or artless faults she commits through the common frailty of her sex. For if lie were to punish her sharply, he would do wrong and / (344b) commit a sin and he would have far too much to do. T. If she has done wrong through ignorance.... C. This refers to something which she ought to know, for otherwise she would not be committing a sin. T. He should admonish her in such a Way that he does not inspire in her fright of a sort that might be shameless and devoid of loving respect for him.
