    and ia this ease , as fa ? as in my power , be following the example of Jesus Christ . O . Most presumptuous ! How dare you , Sir , to compare yourself with him ? He alone had power to lay down his life , and power to take it up again . But let me tell you , Sir , that your life is not at your own disposal . You are permitted neither by the laws of God nor man to lay it down * so often as you may be inclined . What , Sir ! would you justify suicide ? A . God forbid .

    O . What eke do you propose in dying for Fauntleroy ? Is it not a species of suicide } A suicide , too , which you have not the hardihood to perpetrate with your own hands ; but you would make the law an accessory ; and in seeking to justify yourself , you prostitute your reason and pervert the word of God .
