whomsoever with

A sentence from 'Catastrophes in the air': Whatever ax, and whomsoever with, people of this sort want to grind, the real point is that religious humanism is indeed a lagacy.

No need to explain the difference between WHOEVER and WHOMEVER. According to what is usually stated in dictionaries, as WHOMEVER is the prepositional complement of WITH, shouldn't WITH go before WHOMEVER?
  

Top answer

Johnson13 shouldn't WITH go before WHOMEVER? For good style, yes—but the writer is obviously being jocular in his phrasing, so it is not important.
