IMG:content-1894.png:[blocks in formation] Crabb thus discriminates between to forbid , to prohibit , and to interdict : " Forbid is the ordinary term; prohibit is the judicial term; interdict the moral term. To forbid is a direct and personal act; to prohibit is an indirect action that operates by means of extended influence: both imply the exercise of power or authority of an individual; but the former is more applicable to the power of an individual, and the latter to the authority of government. Interdict is a species of forbidding applied to more serious concerns. Athing is forbidden by a word; it is prohibited by a law: hence that which is immoral is forbidden by the expre word of God; that which is illegal is prohibited by the laws of To forbid or interdict are opposed to zommand; to prohibit , to allow. Forbid and interdict, as personal acts, are properly applicable to persons only, but by an improper application are extended to things; prohibit , however, in the gen man. eral sense of restraining, is applied with equal pro priety to things as to persons; shame forbids us doing a thing; law, authority, and the like, pro hibit."
