End or dissolution of contract

From Textop Wiki

Proposition

People get out of contracts by performing what they require, or by being forgiven.

Men are freed of their covenants two ways; by performing, or by being forgiven. For performance is the natural end of obligation, and forgiveness the restitution of liberty, as being a retransferring of that right in which the obligation consisted.
