Gregory the Great, on Isa 32:17

“And the work of justice shall be peace, and the service of justice quietness, and security for ever.”

“He that suffers from a flux of seed is pronounced unclean, because, being addicted to much speaking, he defiles himself by that which, had it been orderly issued, might have produced the offspring of right thought in the hearts of hearers; and, while he incautiously spends himself in loquacity, he sheds his seed not so as to serve for generation, but unto uncleanness.”
