Matthew 5:31 Douay-Rheims

And it hath been said, whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.

Jerome

c. A.D. 347–420 Patristic

For touching Moses’s allowance of divorce, the Lord and Saviour more fully explains in conclusion, that it was because of the hardness of the hearts of the husbands, not so much sanctioning discord, as checking bloodshed.
