_Henry_ is nominative to _does_, understood.
_Whose_ and _John's_ are governed according to RULE 12. _I, thou,
you, him_, &c. represent nouns understood. _Him_, in the last
sentence but five, is governed by _declare_, and _I_ is nominative
to _declare. George_ and _Eliza_ are in the nominative case
independent: Rule 5. "_Whatever_ science," &c. is equivalent to,
_that_ science _which_ suits your taste;--"_whichever_ pattern;"
i.e. _that_ pattern _which_ pleases you best. _Whoever_ is a
compound relative; _he_, the antecedent part, is nominative to "will
behold." _Take_ agrees with _you_ understood. _Forsake_ is in the
infinitive mood after "see:" Rule 25.
REMARKS ON RELATIVE PRONOUNS.
_Which_ sometimes relates to a member of a sentence, or to a whole
sentence, for its antecedent: as, "We are required to fear God and keep
his commandments, _which_ is the whole duty of man." What is the whole
duty of man? "To fear God and keep his commandments:" therefore, this
phrase is the antecedent to _which_.
The conjunction _as_, when it follows _such, many_, or _same_, is
frequently denominated a relative pronoun; as, "I am pleased with _such
as_ have a refined taste;" that is, with _those who_, or _them who
have_, &c.
