What is La virginite (Peri parthenias) about?

In [*On Virginity*](https://isidore.co/calibre/#panel=book_details&book_id=6549) ch. 15 ("Marriage does not increase the human race."), St. John argues that sin, not virginity, causes death: 1. And today our race is not increased by the authority of marriage but by the word of our Lord, who said at the beginning: "Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth." [[Gen. 1:28](http://drbo.org/cgi-bin/d?b=drl&bk=1&ch=1&l=28-#x)] How did marriage help Abraham in the procreation of children? After participating in it for so many years, did he not finally cry out: "Master, what will you give me? Am I to die childless?" [[Gen. 15:2](http://drbo.org/cgi-bin/d?b=drl&bk=1&ch=15&l=2-#x)] [...] For marriage will not be able to produce many men if God is unwilling, nor will virginity destroy their number if he wishes there to be many of them.
