their lives by this means.

RULE XV.
The relative is the nominative case to the verb, when no nominative
comes between it and the verb; as, "The master _who_ taught us, was
eminent."
FALSE SYNTAX.
If he will not hear his best friend, whom shall be sent to admonish
him.

RULE XVI.
When a nominative comes between the relative and the verb, the relative
is governed by the following verb, or by some other word in its own
member of the sentence; as, "He _whom_ I _serve_, is eternal."
NOTE 1. _Who, which, what_, the relative _that_, and their
compounds, _whomever, whomsoever_, &c., though in the objective
case, are always placed before the verb; as, "He _whom_ ye _seek_,
has gone hence.
