1723, Charles Walker, Memoirs of the Life of Sally Salisbury:

I was fearful of giving You a very sensible Disgust, in making You seem the Propriety of one Man, when You know Yourself ordained for the Comfort and Refreshment of Multitudes.

I find such a pleasure, sir, in obeying your commands, that I take care to observe them without ever debating their propriety.

Now, if we may, with propriety, refer to the people one question, why may we not, with equal propriety, refer another?

Elinor then ventured to doubt the propriety of her receiving such a present from a man so little, or at least so lately known to her.

Miss Griffin was a model of propriety, and I am at a loss to imagine what the feelings of the virtuous woman would have been, if she had known, when she paraded us down the Hampstead Road two and two, that she was walking with a stately step at the head of Polygamy and Mahomedanism.
