The style is a little too flowery and verbose for my taste, so I skimmed and might be missing something. This is the (long) period of British history where the main political & rhetorical battleground was the protestant reformation. Milton himself was a convert, as were many (most?) notable Englishmen his generation. Divorce was a primary/defining point of contention between catholics & protestants. I feel like there's not enough context here, to get an understanding of what being pro-divorce means in his time & place.
