1591 (date written), William Shakespeare, “The First Part of Henry the Sixt”, in Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies […] (First Folio), London: […] Isaac Iaggard, and Ed[ward] Blount, published 1623, [Act IV, scene i], page 110
Seventhly, The Canon Law and Divines consent, that if either party be found contriving against anothers life, they may be sever’d by divorce; for a sin against the life of mariage is greater then a sin against the bed: the one destroyes, the other defiles: The same may be said touching those persons who being of a pensive nature and cours of life, have sum’d up all their solace in that free and lightsome conversation which God and man intends in marriage: wherof when they see themselves depriv’d by meeting an unsociable consort, they oft-times resent one anothers mistake so deeply, that long it is not ere griefe end one of them.
1643, John Milton, Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce
