The sheet anchor for the storm-beaten sufferer, who is laboring to recover a haven of rest from the agonies of intemperance, and who has had the fortitude to abjure the poison which ruined, but which also, for brief intervals, offered him his only consolation, lies, beyond all doubt, in a most anxious regard to everything connected with this supreme function of our animal economy.
The way to Italy and Trent, where the Council was in session, was already open to the allied Protestants, but they were forbidden from the green table to follow it. It would have led them through Bavarian territory, and thereby perhaps afforded Duke William, the ruler of the country, occasion to abjure his neutrality and turn openly against the Smalcalds.
If he reached the station before the train, there would be no journey to Glasgow that day for one respectable citizen. Dickson was in a fever of impatience and fright. He dared not abjure the postman to hurry, lest Dobson should turn his head and descry his colleague.
The Kirkes were closely attached to the court; and it was, perhaps, not difficult for the Huguenot wife to abjure Protestantism and declare herself a convert to the religion of her husband.

Digby's Papers, published by Secretary Coventry. * Camden, in Kennet, p. 692. * King James's Works, p. 503, 504. * The parliament this session passed an act obliging every one to take the oath of allegiance; a very moderate test, since it decided no controverted points between the two religions, and only engaged the persons who took it to abjure the pope's power of dethroning kings.
"Did your father give his consent to that attachment?" "Conditionally he did." "And pray, Miss Folliard, what were the conditions?" "That Reilly should abjure his creed, and then no further obstacles should stand in the way of our union, he said." "Was ever that proposal mentioned to Reilly?"
It taught me, first, to accept it as a just punishment for having married against the advice and wishes of my father." "Ah, do not abjure our past!" cried the young man; "the past which has remained so dear to me through all."
