Here they take oaths of allegiance to the church that absolve them from obedience to the laws of our country, when they conflict with their laws. They consider their obligations to their religion such that they perjure themselves on the witness stand in the most unblushing manner. They thus defeat the attempts to gain evidence of their marriages.
Watch if my husband come not this way, Dorothy. Well, sir, though your transgresse deserve no pardon, Yet I am charitable upon Condition Fra. Anything, Madam. This shewes exlent in you; No pennance shall displease so you absolve me. Bid me to clime some Rock or Pyramide, Upon whose narrow spire you have advanc'd My peace, and I will reach it or else fall, Lost to the world in my attempt. La.
When I told her that I loved her, I did not speak, as you seem to think, from an impulse of the moment. I spoke because I loved her; and as I love her, I shall of course try to win her. Nothing can absolve me from my engagement to her but her marriage with another person."
Yet as a woman," she added in a gentler voice, "I thank you for your courtesy. When I am slain, Barung, if I am fated to be slain, think kindly of me, as one who did her best against mighty odds," and her voice broke. "That I shall always do," he answered gravely. "Is it ended?" "Not quite," she answered. "These Western lords, I give them to you; I absolve them from their promise.
My God! may the prior only not remain silent as he did yesterday, may he only absolve me!" He shook off his sadness, left the pond, and returning to the lime avenue, he interested himself in a closer inspection of the trees.
"That is a heresy which you must instantly abjure. There is only one true religion, the Roman Catholic religion. Confess now. I will absolve you and baptise you." The other did not reply. "Tell me what sins you have committed. You will repent and everything will be forgiven you." "My sins?" "Try to remember. Shall I help you?" He nodded toward the door. "Who is that person?"
The Unitarian teachers by no means profess to absolve their followers from the unbending strictness of Christian morality.
"It's a clear field," observed the old factor. "Your own are the only cattle endangered, and since you are the applicant for the bill of health, you absolve the authorities from all concern. Hurry in your other shipments, and the railroad can use its influence it'll want cattle to ship next year. The ranges must be restocked." There was sound logic in the latter statement.
This may be true, but it is not the kind of reasoning for Peter and me to comfort ourselves with. If a surgeon makes a mistake in cutting that afterwards does more good than harm, he must not let that result absolve him from his mistake. Nothing can efface the mistake itself, and Peter and I must go on feeling that way about it.
There was always my grandfather's face of suspense, by which I knew he counted the hours, always my grandmother's piteous air of asking for forgiveness. Not even Anthony Cardew could absolve me from what they bound me to. I tried to be sorry for having written him that letter. Nothing, indeed, had been farther from my thoughts than that it should be forwarded to him.
