And whanne he hadde seid this thing, dissencioun was maad bitwixe the Fariseis and the Saduceis, and the multitude was departid.—Acts xxiii. 7. Id.
If my neighbour neede and I geve him not, neyther depart liberally with him of that which I have, than withholde I from him unrighteously that which is hys owne.—Tyndale, Parable of the Wicked Mammon.
Neither did the apostles put away their wives, after they were called unto the ministry; but they continued with their wives lovingly and faithfully, till death departed them.—Becon, An Humble Supplication unto God (1554).
Deplored. It is well known that ‘deploratus’ obtained in later Latin, through a putting of effect for cause, the sense of desperate or past all hope, and was technically applied to the sick man given over by his physicians, ‘deploratus a medicis.’
The physicians do make a kind of scruple and religion to stay with the patient after the disease is deplored; whereas, in my judgement, they ought both to inquire the skill, and to give the attendances, for the facilitating and assuaging of the pains and agonies of death.—Bacon, Advancement of Learning, ii. 10. 5.
If a man hath the mind to get the start of other sinners, and desires to be in hell before them, he need do no more but open his sails to the wind of heretical doctrine, and he is like to make a short voyage to hell; for these bring upon their maintainers a swift destruction. Nay, the Spirit of God the more to aggravate their deplored state, brings on three most dreadful instances of divine justice that ever were executed upon any sinners.—Gurnall, The Christian in Complete Armour, pt. ii. p. 317.
Deprave. As ‘pravus’ is literally crooked, we may say that ‘to deprave’ was formerly ‘untruly to present as crooked,’ to defame; while it is now ‘wickedly to make crooked.’ See the quotation from Bacon, s.v. ‘Disable.’
Their intent was none other than to get him [Cardinal Wolsey] from the king out of the realm; then might they sufficiently adventure, by the help of their chief mistress, to deprave him with the king’s highness, and so in his absence to bring him in displeasure with the king.—Cavendish, Life of Cardinal Wolsey.
That lie, and cog, and flout, deprave, and slander.
Shakespeare, Much Ado about Nothing, act v. sc. 1.
