Emily Dickinson Lexicon

TRES'PASS, n.

1. In law, violation of another's rights, not amounting to treason, felony, or misprision of either. Thus to enter another's close, is a trespass; to attack his person, is a trespass. When violence accompanies the act, it is called a trespass vi et armis.
2. Any injury or offense done to another. If ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matth. vi.
3. Any voluntary transgression of the moral law; any violation of a known rule of duty; sin. Col. ii. You hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins. Eph. ii.
