Jean continues to advise Panurge to marry. Once married, Panurge must make love to his wife often; otherwise, she will lose interest in him and his sexual organs will lose their potency from disuse.
When Panurge still expresses doubts over marriage, Friar Jean says Panurge does not have more time to procrastinate, since his hair has already started showing bits of gray. In any case, if he does get cuckolded, it implies his wife will be beautiful. If she has cheated on him, she will also treat him well. He can always turn to his friends for solace.
Pantagruel invites a theologian, a physician, a lawyer, and a philosopher for their perspectives on Panurge’s marriage.
