ITS WHOLE ESTATE

The states of conjugial love are Innocence, Peace, Tranquillity,

Inmost Friendship, full Confidence, and mutual desire of mind and

heart to do each other every good. From all of these come blessedness,

satisfaction, agreeableness and pleasure; and as the eternal fruition

of them, heavenly happiness. These states can be realized only in the

marriage of one man with one wife.
