RECTOR, n. In the Church of England, the Third Person of the

parochial Trinity, the Curate and the Vicar being the other two.

REDEMPTION, n. Deliverance of sinners from the penalty of their sin,

through their murder of the deity against whom they sinned. The

doctrine of Redemption is the fundamental mystery of our holy

religion, and whoso believeth in it shall not perish, but have

everlasting life in which to try to understand it.

We must awake Man's spirit from his sin,

And take some special measure for redeeming it;

Though hard indeed the task to get it in

Among the angels any way but teaming it,

Or purify it otherwise than steaming it.

I'm awkward at Redemption--a beginner:

My method is to crucify the sinner.
