From "The Time Traveller's Guide to Elizabethan England":

"In 1582 Dr. Dee embarks on a series of experiments with another alchemist, Edward Kelley; together they seek knowledge of angels through séances. In April 1587 an angel called Madimi orders the two men to hold everything in common, even to the extent of sharing their wives with each other. They seek clarification “whether the sense is of carnal use (contrary to the seventh Commandment) or of Spiritual love.” “Carnal use,” replies the angel. Who are they to stand in the way of science? The alchemists and their wives duly comply."
