If any man shall trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him-- 1 Kings 8:31. See Luke 17:3. and 4.

4. To intrude; to go too far; to put to inconvenience by demand or importunity; as, to trespass upon the time or patience of another.
TRES'PASS, noun 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.
1. Any injury or offense done to another.
If ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6:14.
