Of Conjunctions.

COnjunctions Copulative and Disjunctive, and these four, Quam, nisi, •…•…raeterquam, an, cou∣ple like cases; as Socrates docuit Xenophontem & Platonem. Aut dies est, aut nox. Nescio albus an

ater sit. Est minor natu quàmtu. Nemini placet prae∣terquam sibi.

Except when some particular construction re∣quireth otherwise; as Studui Romae & Athenis. Emi fundum centum nummis & pluris. Accusas furti, on stupri, an utroque?

They also couple for the most part like Moods and Tenses; as Recto stat corpore, despicitque ter∣ras. But not alwayes like Tenses; as Nisi mo lactasses, & vana spe produceres. Et habetur, & re∣feretur tibi a me gratia.

Of other Conjunctions, some govern an Indi∣cative, some a Subjunctive, according to thir se∣veral significations.

Etsi, tametsi, etiamsi, quanquam an Indicative; quamvis and licet most commonly a Subjunctive; as Etsi nihil novi afferrebatur. Quanquam animus meminisse horret. Quamvis Elysios miretur Graecia campos. Ipse li•…•…et venias.

Ni, nisi, si, siquidem, quod, quia, postquam, postea∣quam, antequam, priusquam an Indicative or Sub∣junctive; as Nisivi mavis eripi. Ni faciat. Cas•…•…∣go te, non quòd odeo habeam, sed quòd amem. Ante∣quam dicam. Si for quamvis a Subjunctive onely. Redeam? Non si me obsecret.

Si also conditional may somtimes govern both Verbs of the sentence in a Subjunctive; as Respi∣raro, si te videro. Cic ad Attic.

Quando, quandoquidem, quoniam, an Indicative; as Dicite quandoquidem in molli consedimus herba. Quoniam convenimus ambo

Cum seeing that, a Subjunctive; as Cum sis of∣ficiis Gradive virilibus aptus.

Ne, an, num, of doubting, a Subjunctive; as Nihil resert, fecerisne, an persuaseris. Vise num redie∣rit.

Interrogatives also of disdain or reproach un∣derstood govern a Subjunctive; as tantum dem, quantum ille poposcerit? Cic. verr. 4. Sylvam tu Scantiam vendas? Cic. Agrar. Hunc tu non ames? Cic. ad Attic. •…•…urem aliquem aut rapacem accusaris? Vitanda semper erit omnis avaritiae suspicio. Cic. verr. 4. Sometimes an Infinitive; as Méne incaepto de∣sistere victam? Virg.

Ut that, lest not, or although, a Subjunctive; as Te aro, ut redeat jam in viam. Metuo ut substes hospes. Ut omnia contingant quae volo.
