RULE VII.

Two or more nouns, or nouns and pronouns, signifying the same thing, are

put, by apposition, in the same case; as, "_Paul_, the _apostle;_"

"_Joram_, the _king;_" "_Solomon_, the _son_ of David, _king_ of Israel,

wrote many proverbs."

NOTE. A noun is sometimes put in apposition with a sentence; as,

"The sheriff has just seized and sold his valuable library--_(which

was) a misfortune_ that greatly depressed him."
