Mt 1, 16English original
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
(De Nupt. et Concup. i. 11.) In Christ’s parents was accomplished every good benefit of marriage, fidelity, progeny, and a sacrament. The progeny we see in the Lord Himself; fidelity, for there was no adultery; sacrament, for there was no divorce.
