THE OBJECTIVE INFINITIVE. 
7 eac deofolgeldum = 116.7: Christo seruire uideretur et diis. — lb. 338.3: 
Sa woes heo gesegen mid . . . beorhtnesse leohtes scinan = 256.6: refulgere 
uidebatur. 
Chron. 235 m , 1100 E a : to bam Pentecosten wees gesewen ... set anan tune 
blod weallan of eorban. (Cf. Oros. 162.6: mon geseah weallan blod of eorban 
= 163.5: sanguis e terra . . . visum est manare de coelo.)

halig . . . ofer bas gescaeft waetres, bio from fyre giwalla bid gesene = aque, 
que ab igne feruescere uidetur. 
Woerf. 203.21, 22: an bing waes, baet gesewen wees on him taelwyrbe beon, baet 
full oft swa mycclu blis in him waes gescegenu beon, baet he etc. = 248 C 1,2 : unum

hatan, command: 
Bede 278.18: Gif . . . haten ham hweorfan, ne wille = 216.16: noluerit 
inuitatus redire. 
II. The objective infinitive is inflected only with the passive of these 
verbs:— *>h 
deman, condemn. (ge)myngian, remind . 
forbeodan, forbid. 
The examples in full are: — 
deman, condemn: 
Wcerf. 254.13: baet se Sanctulus . . . wees gedemed to acwellanne = 309 D: 
Cognito itaque quod Sanctulus qui inter eos pro sanctitatis reverentia magni 
honoris habebatur occidendus esset. 
forbeodan, forbid: 
JElf. Hept.: Lev. 11 . 8 : Hara and swyn synd forb odene to cethrinenne = Le- 
pus quoque et sus, horum carnibus non vescemini nec cadavera contingetis. 
(ge)myngian, remind: 
A. S. Horn. & L. S. I. 3.3: we synd gemyngode . . . eow nu to seegenne sum 
bing. 
III. The uninflected infinitive and the inflected infinitive are each found as 
the object with the passive of forlaetan, permit. Only one example of each 
infinitive has been found: — uninflected: Bede 424.3: earn eft forlceten mid 
monnum liifgan = 304.12: apud homines sum iterum uiuere permissus; — 
inflected: Bede 412.29: Da baet se . . . wer . . . geseah, baet he ne wees for- 
leeten, beodum godcunde lare to bodienne = 298.30: Ut . . . uidit uir . . ., 
quia nec ipse ad praedicandum gentibus uenire permittebatur. 
For the infinitive active (uninflected and inflected) after a few verbs passive 
in form but active in sense, see Note 2 to this chapter. 
pH Differentiation of the Two Infinitives. 
It is by no means easy to discover what differentiates the use of the unin¬ 
flected infinitive from the inflected infinitive as object in the groups (I and II) 
in which only one form of the infinitive is used; this differentiation is still 
less easy in the group (III) in which the same verb has as its object either the
