nutriment to all the organs, and that ever-fresh
chyle passes into the blood in due measure and
amount.

nature.

Heavy thoughts bring on physical maladies; when
the soul is oppressed so is the body.

and theology makes sinners.

The reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and
mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter, I
should have advised him to continue the generation
of the species by fashioning them of clay.
Table Talk‘Of Marriage and Celibacy’
Men have broad and large chests, and small narrow
hips, and more understanding than women, who
have but small and narrow breasts, and broad hips,

keep house, and bear and bring up children.
