RULE XVI.—FINITE VERBS.
When a Verb has two or more nominatives connected by and, it must agree with them jointly in the plural, because they are taken together: as, "True rhetoric and sound logic are very nearly allied."—Blair's Rhet., p. 11. "Aggression and injury in no case justify retaliation."—Wayland's Moral Science, p. 406.
"Judges and senates have been bought for gold,
Esteem and love were never to be sold."—Pope.
