"What the devil do you mean?" asked Gordon, setting down the glass that was half raised to his lips. "I mean that I want to marry Jocelyn." And the modern school of realistic, mawkishly foul novelists, who hold that Love excuseth all, would have taken delight in the passionate rendering of the girl's name. "Want to marry Jocelyn, do you?" answered Maurice, with a derisive little laugh.
Ignorance of the Penalty, where the Law is declared, Excuseth no man: For in breaking the Law, which without a fear of penalty to follow, were not a Law, but vain words, he undergoeth the penalty, though he know not what it is; because, whosoever voluntarily doth any action, accepteth all the known consequences of it; but Punishment is a known consequence of the violation of the Lawes, in every Common-wealth; which punishment, if it be determined already by the Law, he is subject to that; if not, then is he subject to Arbitrary punishment.
But this is to be understood onely of those, that have not themselves contributed to the taking away of the Power that protected them: for that was a Crime from the beginning. Ignorance Of The Law Of Nature Excuseth No Man The source of every Crime, is some defect of the Understanding; or some errour in Reasoning, or some sudden force of the Passions.
Ignorance of the Soveraign Power, in the place of a mans ordinary residence, Excuseth him not; because he ought to take notice of the Power, by which he hath been protected there. Ignorance Of The Penalty Excuseth Not
Defect in the Understanding, is Ignorance; in Reasoning, Erroneous Opinion. Again, ignorance is of three sort; of the Law, and of the Soveraign, and of the Penalty. Ignorance of the Law of Nature Excuseth no man; because every man that hath attained to the use of Reason, is supposed to know, he ought not to do to another, what he would not have done to himselfe.
But the code of Heaven is gentler than that of earth, and does not declare that ignorance excuseth not the crime. "Some clouds sweep on as vultures for their prey. No azure more shall robe the firmament, Nor spangled stars be glorious." BYRON, /Heaven and Earth/.
And this is the sense we be come to, that we should like to have something handsome down, to lay by again' chances; also a dokkyment in black and white, to bear us harmless of the law, and enter the prize-money." "What a fine councillor a' would have made!" old Joe exclaimed, with ecstasy. "He hath been round the world three times excuseth of him for only one leg left."
He calls not the variety of the world chances, for his meditation hath travelled over them, and his eye, mounted upon his understanding, seeth them as things underneath. He covers not his body with delicacies, nor excuseth these delicacies by his body, but teacheth it, since it is not able to defend its own imbecility, to show or suffer.
But ignorance of the Civill Law, shall Excuse a man in a strange Country, till it be declared to him; because, till then no Civill Law is binding. Ignorance Of The Civill Law Excuseth Sometimes
But the code of Heaven is gentler than that of earth, and does not declare that ignorance excuseth not the crime. "Some clouds sweep on as vultures for their prey. No azure more shall robe the firmament, Nor spangled stars be glorious." BYRON, Heaven and Earth.
