(Faithful lay people, who live in righteous marriage, yield thirtyfold fruit of good works, if their marriage follows the biblical decrees; that is, that they have intercourse for the procreation of children at permitted times, and abstain from intercourse with pregnant or menstruating women, and that at the time they can no longer procreate, they cease intercourse.)
Etymology
From mōnaþ (“moon, month”) + sēoc (“sick”), derived from the idea that the moon could cause intermittent insanity (compare lūnāticus, with the same origin).
