matriculation

freshman's hand,
and he bound by
Oath to obedience
to every article
At the time of that ceremony, which in the metaphorical language of
the place is called matriculation, the ceremony on the
performance of which the youth becomes a member limb of
the Kind Mother a body of laws constituting a closely
printed 12o. volume is put into his hand, and at the
same time an oath is administered to him he is made a form of words is put into his mouth and repeated by him by which
he binds himself under the sanction of an oath he is understood to bind himself
to observance be paid without exception to every
particle of law contained in it.

Violation of this
oath, constant,
universal, and
notorious
O
Of this oath the violation is constant, universal
and notorious.(a)
(a) Note stating the
some of the instances

Conditions — laws
thus violated supremely
frivolous,
violation innoxious.
But the sanction
violated is the same
as that which is
employed to preserve
from violation the
most important laws
[Murder — and anyone
to wear a bund]
True it is that of the great bulk of the ordinances thus violated
nothing can exceed the frivolousness: nothing consequently
the innoxiousness of the acts by which the
violation of them is performed committed accomplished. But be the importance
of the transgressions themselves ever so great
or ever so inconsiderable, this sanction employed
to enforce observance, the sanction violated by non-
observance is still the same.
[Murder is an atrocious deed to going abroad
without having put under the dam a piece of lawn
called a bund is an insignificant omission —
but if a promise be given not to do either of those
acts, and in the wording of promise the ceremony
employed is the same, and that ceremony the ceremonies is called an
oath
or the taking of an
oath, if that oath
be violated, perjury
is committed, and
so far as concerns the
ceremony, the mode
and the violation of it
the perjury, the impiety is the same.]
