Might not the bullet which rased his cheek, have gone into his head? Obs.

2. To erase; to scratch or rub out; or to blot out; to cancel.

In this sense, erase is generally used.

3. To level with the ground; to overthrow; to destroy; as, to rase a city.

In this sense, raze is generally used. This orthography, rase, may therefore be considered as nearly obsolete; graze, erase and raze having superseded it.
