UNDER NOTE IX.--APPLICATION OF MOODS.

_First Clause of the Note.--For the Subjunctive Present._

express a future contingency, is in the indicative mood. But, according to
the first clause of Note 9th to Rule 14th, "A future contingency is best
expressed by a verb in the subjunctive present." Therefore, _repents_
should be _repent_; thus, "He will not be pardoned, unless he _repent_."]
