Religious views of John Milton Divorce", Milton developed a reputation as both a divorcer and a polygamist. Eventually, Milton believed that a translation of Bucer's work, published as "Judgement of Martin Bucer Concerning Divorce", would convince Parliament of the truth behind his previous tract on divorce, but this did not happen.
