對於尚未結婚之人、及守寡之婦、我則曰以我為法可也。

吾鑒於世難方殷、竊謂能保守獨身、莫善焉。爾有妻室之累、則勿求自由；無妻室之累、則不必急於娶妻。雖然、男娶女嫁、究非罪孽；惟肉身上之苦痛、在所不免；吾欲免爾苦痛耳。

禁止嫁娶、戒絕某種食物；夫食物乃天主所造也、亦在具有信德、而身體真道者、感恩受之而已矣。

至於來書所提各節、吾意以為如能恆抱獨身、不接觸任何女性、尚矣。惟為避免邪淫起見、則男娶女嫁、亦屬無妨。

至於青年寡婦、勿予入冊；誠恐春心一動、則背棄基督、而再醮矣；既廢初誓、能免罪乎。且此輩飽食終日、無所事事、則必穿門踏戶、遨遊鄰里；不窮無所事事而已、抑且掉其長舌、妄騰口說、則無事而滋事矣。故吾寧願青年寡婦再適、生子宜家、庶幾不予敵人以口實；當知如今已有數輩、流入魔道矣。

夫在、為妻者則受法律拘束；夫亡、則可自由再嫁、惟應依天主規律。然依吾之見、若能守寡、則更為有福；竊思此亦天主聖神之意也。

總之、予欲爾無憂無慮也。無妻者能專心事主、惟求取悅於主；有妻者則注意世故、兼欲取悅於妻、則分心矣。無夫者及處女、亦能專心事主、惟求神形之聖潔，有夫者則注意世故、兼欲取悅於夫矣。吾作是語、為爾之益、不欲納爾於陷穽之中、乃欲導爾於康莊之路；庶得無阻無礙、從容事主耳。
