"28. And God blessed them, and said: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea, and the fowl of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth."
Verse 28: Increase and Multiply— Not a precept to each individual but a blessing; God approves marriage and bestows fecundity
"28. INCREASE AND MULTIPLY. — From these words it is clear that Adam and Eve were created in a mature age and stature, and fit for generation"
"AND FILL THE EARTH. — As a symbol of this, says St. Augustine (Tract. 9 on John), the four regions of the world are contained in the name Adam in Greek"
