[4720] "Felices ter et amplius Quos irrupta tenet copula, nec ullis Divulsus querimoniis Suprema citius solvit amor die.

Resurrection is always and exclusively resurrection in the body;not indeed a rising of the 'corpus' [Greek: phantastikón], that is, the few ounces of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and phosphate of lime, the 'copula' of which that gave the form no longer exists,and of which Paul exclaims;'Thou fool!

Is it enough to call it a copula, a bridge, a link, a word connecting sentences?

To these two forces, however, still a third factor must be added as their copula, which determines the relation or measure of their connection.

For each of these departments of nature an original force in universal nature is assumedgravity, light, and their copula, universal life.

The higher unity of gravity and light is the copula or life, the principle of the organic, of animated corporeality or the processes of growth and reproduction, irritability, and sensibility.

Galvanism forms the transition to living nature, in which through the operation of the "copula" these three dynamical categories are raised to organic categories.

Copula 3. Organization or Life.

The three higher faculties correspond to the three potencies in the absolute: Natural Science and Medicine to the real or finite; History and Law to the ideal or infinite; Theology to the eternal or the copula.

to was understood, (copula may freely be supplied.)

I wish, in short, to connect a moral copula, natural history with political history; or, in other words, to make history scientific, and science historical:to take from history its accidentality, and from science its fatalism.

Some writers have classed adjectives with verbs; because, with a neuter verb for the copula, they often form logical predicates: as, "Vices are contagious."

Is some would call the grammatical predicate, and "Such is," or is such, the logical; but the latter consists, as the majority teach, of "the copula" is, and "the attribute," or "predicate," such.

Here we have moments for the first grammatical subject, and Few moments for the logical; then, are for the grammatical predicate, and are more pleasing for the logical: or, if we choose to say so, for "the copula and the attribute."

Of the principal clause, the word all, taken as a noun, is the subject, whether grammatical or logical; and "the copula," or "grammatical predicate," is, becomes, with its adjuncts and the nominatives following, the logical predicate.

For example: "It [the predicate] remains unchanged in the nominative, when, with the participle of the copula, it becomes a verbal noun, limited by the possessive case of the subject; as, 'That he was a foreigner prevented his election,'='His being a foreigner prevented his election.

"The manner of these affecting the copula is called the imperative mode."BP.

"The manner in which these affect the copula, is called the imperative mood.

"The predicate consists of two parts,the verb, or copula, and that which is asserted by it, called the attribute; as 'Snow is white.

but then it is not alike needful, that they be all severally expressed in words; because the copula is often included in the term of the predicate; as when we say, he sits, which imports the same as, he is sitting.

In some grammars, the partition used in logic is copied without change, except perhaps of words: as "There are, in sentences, a subject, a predicate and a copula."

The logicians, however, and those who copy them, may have been hitherto at fault in recognizing and specifying their "copula."

If he is right in this, the "copula" of the logicians (an in my opinion, his own also) is a mere figment of the brain, there being nothing that answers to the definition of the thing or to the true use of the word.

Irrupta tenet Copula ...' Hor.
