quocirca vestrum est copulatis obtinere quam primum prece sedula spem liberorum; consequens erit, ut filio uno alterove susceptis (et nimis dixi) abstineat de cetero licitis, qui inlicita praesumpsit.
Therefore it now behoves you by diligent prayer to gain for the wedded pair as soon as possible the prospect of having children, so that after the birth of one or two sons (and I have mentioned the extreme limit) this husband who before marriage had taken his lawless pleasures may for the future refrain from lawful pleasures.
