OBS. 18.—­Some authors teach that words in apposition must agree in person, number, and gender, as well as in case; but such agreement the following examples show not to be always necessary:  “The Franks, a people of Germany.”—­W.  Allen’s Gram. “The Kenite tribe, the descendants of Hobab.”—­Milman’s Hist. of the Jews.  “But how can you a soul, still either hunger or thirst?”—­Lucian’s Dialogues, p. 14.  “Who seized the wife of me his host, and fled.”—­Ib., p. 16.

   “Thy gloomy grandeurs (Nature’s most august. 
    Inspiring aspect!) claim a grateful verse.”—­Young, N. ix, l. 566.

ERRORS OF WORDS IN APPOSITION.

“Now, therefore, come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou.”—­Gen., xxxi, 44.

[FORMULE.—­Not proper, because the pronouns I and thou, of the nominative case, are here put in apposition with the preceding pronoun us, which is objective.  But, according to Rule 3d, “A noun or a personal pronoun, used to explain a preceding noun or pronoun, is put, by apposition, in the same case.”  Therefore, I and thou should be thee and me; (the first person, in our idiom, being usually put last;) thus, “Now, therefore, come thou, let us make a covenant, thee and me.”]

Penn. “This Lord Jesus Christ, the heavenly Man, the Emmanuel, God with us, we own and believe in:  he whom the high priests raged against,” &c.—­George Fox.  “Christ, and Him crucified, was the Alpha and Omega of all his addresses, the fountain and foundation of his hope and trust.”—­Experience of Paul, p. 399. “‘Christ and Him crucified’ is the head, and only head, of the church.”—­Denison’s Sermon.  “But if ‘Christ and Him crucified’ are the burden of the ministry, such disastrous results are all avoided.”—­Ib. “He never let fall the least intimation, that himself, or any other person, whomsoever, was the object of worship.”—­Hannah Adams’s View, p. 250.  “Let the elders that rule well, be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.”—­1 Tim., v, 17.  “Our Shepherd, him who is styled King of saints, will assuredly give his
