Pardon, in the canon law, extends beyond the affairs 
of this world, being an indulgence which the pope grants 
to fuppofed penitents, for remiflion of the pains of pur¬ 
gatory, which they have merited for the punifliment of 
their fins: 
There might you fee 
Indulgences, difpenfes, pardons, bulls, 
The Iport of winds. Milton's P. L. 
PAR'DONABLE, adj. Venial; excufable.—A blind 
man fitting in the chimney-corner is pardonable enough, 
but fitting at the helm he is intolerable. South. —What 
Engliih-readers, unacquainted with Greek or Latin, will 
believeffiie, when we confefs we derive all that h pardon¬ 
able m us from ancient fountains ? Dryden. 
PAR'DONABLENESS, f. Venialnefs; fufceptibility 
of pardon.—Saint John’s word is, All fin is tranfgreffion 
of the law; Saint Paul’s, The w’ages of fin is death. Put 
thefe two together, and this conceit of the natural par- 
donablenefs of fin vanifhes away. Bp. Hall. 
PAR'DONABLY, adv. Venially ; excufably.—I may 
judge when I write more or lefs pardonably. Dryden. 
PAR'DONER, f. One wdio forgives another: 
This is his pardon, purchas’d by fuch fin, 
For which the pardoner himfelf is in. Shakefpeare. 
One of thofe who carried about the pope’s indulgencies, 
and fold them.—To avoyde this great travayle, it fhall 
be belt for you to faye, as the pardoners did by their par¬ 
dons, and as your purgatorye-priefts faye, No penye, no 
paternofter ! Confut. of N. Shaxtan. 1546.

To PA'RE, v.a. [may be deduced from the Lat. parent 
facerc, as we do in cutting off the exceeding parts of a 
thing, to make it fit another ; ungues pares facere, to 
pare the nails : or, as Skinnerfays, from the French phrafe 
purer les angles, to drefs the horfe’s hoofs when they are 
lhaved by the farrier: thus we firft faid “ Pare your 
nails;” and from thence transferred the word to general 
life] Tocut off extremities of the furface ; to cut away 
By little and little ; to diminifli.—If pare be ufed before 
the thing diminiftied, it is followed immediately by its 
accufative ; il it precedes the thing taken away, or agrees 
in the paffive voice with the thing taken away, as a no¬ 
minative, it then requires a particle, as away, off. John- 
J'on. —’Twere well if flie would pare her nails. Pope .— 
The king began to pare a little the privilege of clerg)\, 
ordaining that clerks conviCt fhould be burned in the 
hand. Bacon's Hen. VII.—The Creed of Athanafius, and 
that facred Hymn of Glory, than which nothing doth 
found more heavenly in the ears of faithful men, are now 
reckoned as fuperfluities, which vve muff in any ca k pare 
away, left we cloy God with too much fervice. Hooher .— 
Whoever will partake of God’s fecrets, mull firft look 
into his own ; he mull pare off whatfoever is amifs, and 
not without holinefs approach to the holieft of all holies. 
Bp. Taylor. 
Pick out of tales the mirth, but not the fin ; 
He pares his apple that will cleanly feed. Herbert. 
I have not alone 
Employ’d you where high profits might come home; 
But par'd my prefent havings to bellow 
My bounties upon you. Shakejpeare's Hen. VIII. 
The lion, mov’d with pity, did endure 
To have his princely paws all par'd away. Shakefpeare. 
PARE (Ambrofe), a French furgeon of eminence, 
was born at Laval, in the diftriCt of the Maine, in the 
year 1509. He commenced the ftudy of his profeftion 
early in life, and praCtifed it with great zeal both in 
hofpitals and in the army. Subfequently his reputa¬ 
tion rofe very high ; and he was appointed furgeon in 
ordinary to king Henry II. in 1552; and he held the 
fame office under the fucceeding kings, Francis II. 
Charles IX. and Henry III. To Charles IX. efpecially 
he is faid to have conferred great profelfional bene¬ 
fits, efpecially on one occafion, when fome formida¬ 
ble fymptoms had been produced by the accidental 
wound of a tendon in venefeCtion, which he fpeedily 
removed. His fervices appear to have been amply ac¬ 
knowledged by the king ; for, as Pare was a Huguenot, 
he would have been included in the horrible maffacre of 
St. Bartholomew’s, had not the king fent for him on the 
preceding night, and ordered him not to leave the royal 
chamber. After having been long efteemed as the firft 
furgeon of his time, and beloved for his private virtues, 
he died in the year 1590, at the age of eighty-one. 
Pare was not a man of learning, and was even obliged 
to requeft a phyfician to make a French tranflation of 
fome of the books of Galen, which he wilhed to confult. 
Neverthelefs there is an affectation of much learned re¬ 
ference, and numerous quotations from the ancients, in 
his writings, which have added nothing to his reputation. 
There is fome juftice in the remark of Van Hoorne, that 
Pare would have done better, if he had limited his pub¬ 
lication to a fmall volume, containing only the records 
of his own obfervation and experience. Hemuft becon- 
fidered, however, as a man of original mind, and a real 
improver of his art; and as having greatly facilitated 
and extended the application of ieveral principles of 
praCtice, which, according to his own acknowledgment, 
lie derived from the Italian writers and practitioners. 
Though he did not invent, he greatly promoted, the 
praCtice of tying divided arteries, which he effected by 
drawing them out naked, and paffing a ligature over 
them. He was the author of a great improvement in the 
treatment of gun-ftiot wounds, by adopting a lenient 
method, and rejecting irritants and cauterizations, which 
were employed by his contemporaries. He was alfo a 
bold and luccefsful operator; and records many inltruo- 
tive cafes, in which he difplayed all the refources of an 
enlightened furgeon. He did not, however, greatly ex¬ 
cel in anatomy, though he had praCtifed diffeCtions ; and 
was chiefly a borrower from the works of Vefalius in this 
department of fcience, though not without fome obfer- 
vations of his own.
