Could I have some help please. I find this crossword very difficult.
1a Like one sure if another fails following twenty-nine distinct damnations (10)

27a The horsemen of Babel (3, 7)

Thanks.

27 Red Cavalry

"twenty nine distinct damnations" is from Paul's letter to the Galatians. I can't see how this helps, though!

Good one, Mamya!
I've been trying to tie it in to the "Four horses of the Apocalypse"!

Thank you Chrise and MAMYA

Have you any crossers in 1a ?

There is a poem, too, - "Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister" by Robert Browning - with "twenty- nine distinct damnations" in one of the verses.
Not that I can tie this in with the clue........

That's where I'm looking to no avail.

Sorry for typo in post 4 - it should of course read "The Four
horseMEN" of the Apocalypse"!

First time poster here. The answer to 1a is a verse form used by Browning in the Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister: Catalectic.
