EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

CAMBRIDGE , ¶ Printed by JOHN HAYES , Printer to the Universitie . Anno Dom. 1673. To the Reader . TO exhort every man to the learning of Grammar that intendeth to attain to the understanding of the tongues , ( wherein is contained a great treasure of wisdom and knowledge ) it would seem much vain and little needful ; for so much as it is to be known that nothing can surely be ended , whose beginning is either feeble or faulty ; and no building be perfect , when as the foundation and ground-work is ready to fall and unable to uphold the burden of the frame . Wherefore it were better for the thing it self , and more profitable for the learner , to understand how he may best come to that which he ought most necessarily to have , and to learn the plainest way of obtaining that which must be his best and certainest guide , both of reading and speaking , then to fall in doubt of the goodness and necessity thereof : which I doubt , whether he shall more lament that he lacketh , or esteem that he hath it : and whether he shall oftner stumble at trifles , and be deceived in light matters , when he hath it not ; or judge truely and faithfully of divers weighty things , when he hath it . The which hath seemed to many very hard to compass aforetime , because that they who professed this art of teaching Grammar , did teach divers Grammars , and not one : and if by chance they taught one Grammar , yet they did it diversly , and so could not do it all best ; because there is but one bestness , not onely in every thing , but also in the manner of every thing . As for the diversity of Grammars , it is well and profitably taken away by the Kings Majesties wisdom , who foreseeing the inconvenience , and favourably providing the remedy , caused one kind of Grammar by sundry learned men to be diligently drawn , and so to be set out onely , every where to be taught for the use of learners , and for avoiding the hurt in changing of Schoolmasters . The variety of teaching is diverse yet , and always will be ; for that every Schoolmaster liketh that he knoweth , and seeth not the use of that he knoweth not ; and therefore judgeth that the most sufficient way , which he seeth to be the readiest mean , and perfectest kind , to bring a learner to have a through knowledge therein . Wherefore it is not amiss , if one seeing by tryal an easier and readier way then the common sort of teachers do , would say what he hath proved , and for the commoditie allowed ; that others not knowing the same , might by experience prove the like , and then by proof reasonable judge the like : not hereby excluding the better way when it is found ; but in the mean season forbidding the worse . The first and chiefest point is , that the diligent Master make not the Scholar haste too much ; but that he in continuance and diligence of teaching , make him to rehearse so , that until he hath perfectly that which is behind ▪ he suffer him not to go forward : for this posting haste overthroweth and hurteth a great sort of wits , and casteth them into an amazedness , when they know not how they shall either go forward , for backward ; but stick fast as one plunged , that cannot tell what to do , or which way to turn him : and then the Master thinketh the Scholar to be a dullard , and the Scholar thinketh the thing to be uneasie , and too hard for his wit : and the one hath an evil opinion of the other , when oftentimes it is in neither , but in the kind of teaching . Wherefore the best & chiefest point throughly to be kept is , that the Scholar have in mind so perfectly that which he hath learned , and understand it so , that not onely it be not a stop for him , but also a light and help unto the residue that followeth . This shall be the Masters ease , and the childs encouraging , when the one shall see his labour take good effect , and thereby in teaching be less tormented ; and the other shall think the thing the easier , and so with more gladness be ready to go about the same . In going forward , let him have of every declension of Nouns , and conjugation of Verbs , so many several examples as they pass them ; that it may seem to the Schoolmaster , no word in the Latine tongue to be so hard for that part , as the Scholar shall not be able , praisably , to enter into the forming thereof . And surely the multitude of examples ( if the easiest and commonest be taken first , and so come to the stranger and harder ) must needs bring this profit withall , that the Scholar shall best understand , and soonest conceive the reason of the rules , and best be acquainted with the fashion of the tongue Wherein it is profitable , not onely that he can orderly decline his Noun , and his Verb ; but every way , forward , backward , by cases , by persons : that neither case of Noun , nor person of Verb can be required , that he cannot without stop or study tell . And untill this time I count not the Scholar perfect , nor ready to go any further till he hath this already learned . This when he can perfectly do , and hath learned every part , not by rote , but by reason , and is more cunning in the understanding of the thing , then in rehearsing of the words ( which is not past a quarter of a years diligence , or very little more , to a painful and diligent man , if the Scholar have a mean wit ) then let him pass to the Concords , to know the agreement of parts among themselves , with like way and diligence as is afore described . Wherein plain and sundry examples , and continual rehearsal of things learned , and specially the daily declining of a Verb , and turning him into all fashions , shall make the great and heavy labour so easie and so pleasant for the framing of sentences , that it will be rather a delight unto them that they be able to do well ; then pain in searching of an unused and unacquainted thing . When these Concords be well known unto them , ( an easie and pleasant pain , if the fore-grounds be well and throughly beaten in ) let them not continue in learning of their rules orderly , as they lie in their Syntax , but rather learn some pretty book wherein is contained not onely the eloquence of the tongue , but also a good plain lesson of honesty and godliness ; and thereof take some little sentence as it lieth , and learn to make the same first out of English into Latine , not seeing the book or construing it thereupon . And if there fall any necessary rule of the Syntax to be known , then to learn it , as the occasion of the sentence giveth cause that day : which sentence once made well , and as nigh as may be with the words of the book , then to take the book and construe it ; and so shall he be less troubled with the parsing of it , and easiliest carry his lesson in mind . And although it was said before , that the Scholars should learn but a little at once , it is not meant that when the Master hath heard them a while , he should let them alone ( for that were more negligence for both parts ) but I would , all their time they be at school , they should never be idle , but always occupied in a continual rehearsing and looking back again to those things they have learned , and be more bound to keep well their old , then to take forth any new . Thus if the Master occupie them he shall see a little lesson take a great deal of time , and diligently enquiring and examining of the parts and the rules , not to be done so quickly and speedily as it might be thought to be : within a while by this use , the Scholar shall be brought to a good kind of readiness of making , to the which if there be adjoyned some use of speaking ( which must necessarily be had ) he shall be brought past the wearisome bitterness of his learning . A great help to further this readiness of making and speaking shall be , if the Master give him an English book , and cause him ordinarily every day to turn some part into Latine . This exercise cannot be done without his rules , and therefore doth establish them , and ground them surely in his mind for readiness , and makerh him more able to speak suddenly , whensoever any present occasion is offered for the same . And it doth help his learning more a great deal , to turn out of English into Latine , then on the contrary . Furthermore we see many can understand Latine , that cannot speak it ; and when they read the Latine word in the book , can tell you the English thereof at any time : but when they have laid away their book , they cannot contrariwise tell you for the English the Latine again , whensoever you will ask them . And therefore this exercise helpeth this sore well , and maketh those words which he understandeth , to be readier by use unto him , and so perfecteth him in the tongue handsomely . These precepts , well kept , will bring a man clear past the use of this Grammar book , and make him as ready as his book , and so meet to further things ▪ whereof it were out of season to give precepts here . And therefore this may be for this purpose enough , which to good Schoolmasters and ●kilful is not so needful , to other meaner and less practised it may be not onely worth the labour of reading , but also of the using . An Advertisement to the READER . IN this Impression , for the greater profit and ease both of Master and Scholar , in the English rules , and in the Latine Syntax , these words , wherein the force of each example lieth , are noted with letters and figures , where need is : the governour , directour or guider , or that which is in place of it with an a ; the governed , or that which is guided by it with b : Or if there be more governours , the first with ● , the second with aa ; and so if more governeds , the first with b , the second with bb : and sometimes the order is directed by a , b , c ; or by figures , and words of the same and such like nature , coupled together with little strokes between , so much as may be . That so in saying the ensamples , the children may ( where or when the Master pleaseth ) render again onely those words which are the ensample ; as saying , Quis nisi b mentis a inops oblatum respuat aurum ? may repeat again , a inops , b mentis . So throughout all the Latine rules , for the better understanding thereof , and for a short repetition , when the Master pleaseth , the sums of all the rules are set down , either in the words before the rule , or in the margin , that so they may be chained together briefly , and make perfect sense . The Latine letters are thus written . The capital letters , A B C D E F G H J I K L M N O P Q R S T V U X Y Z. A B C D E F G H J I K L M N O P Q R S T V V X Y Z. The small letters , a b c d e f g h j i k l m n o p q r s S t v u x y z. a b c d e f g h j i k l m n o p q r s s t v u x y z. Letters are divided into vowels and consonants . A vowel is a letter which maketh a full and perfect sound of it self ; and there are five in number : namely , a , e , i , o , u ; whereunto is added the Greek vowel y. A consonant is a letter which must needs be sounded with a vowel ; as b with e. And all the letters , except the vowels , are consonants . A syllable is the pronouncing of one letter or more with one breath ; as , A-ve . A diphthong is the sound of two vowels in one syllable , and of them there be four in number ; namely , ae , oe , au , eu ; whereunto is added ei : as Aeneas , coena , audio , euge , hei . In stead of ae and oe , we commonly do pronounce e. The Greek letters are thus written . In capital letters , Α Β Γ Δ Ε Ζ Η Θ Ι Κ Λ Μ Ν Ξ Ο Π Ρ Σ Τ Υ Φ Χ Ψ Ω. The small letters , α β γ δ ε ζ η θ ι κ λ μ ν ξ ο π ρ σ τ υ φ χ ψ ω. PRECATIO . DOmine Pater , coeli ac terrae Effector , qui liberaliter tribuis sapientiam omnibus eam cum fiducia abs te petentibus , exorna ingenii mei bonitatem , quam cum caeteris naturae viribus mihi infudisti , lumine divinae gratiae tuae : ut non modò quae ad cognoscendum te & Servatorem nostrum Dominum Jesum valeant intelligam ; sed etiam ita mente & voluntate persequar , & indies benignitate tuâ , cum doctrinâ , tum pietate proficiam : ut qui efficis omnia in omnibus , in me resplendescere dona tua facias , ad gloriam sempiternam immortalis Majestatis tuae . Amen . A PRAYER . O Almighty Lord and merciful Father , maker of heaven & earth , which of thy free liberality givest wisdome abundantly to all that with faith and full assurance ask it of thee , beautifie by the light of thy heavenly grace the towardness of my wit , the which with all powers of nature thou hast poured into me ; that I may not onely understand those things which may effectually bring me to the knowledge of thee , and the Lord Iesus our Saviour ; but also , with my whole heart and will constantly follow the same , and receive daily increase through thy bountiful goodness towards me , as well in good life as doctrine : so that thou , which workest all things in all creatures , mayest make thy gracious benefits shine in me , to the endless glory and honour of thine immortal Majesty . So be it . An Introduction of the eight parts of LATINE Speech . IN Speech be these eight parts following : declined . Noun , Pronoun , Verb , Participle , undeclined . Adverb , Conjunction , Preposition , Interjection . Of a Noun . A Noun is the name of a thing that may be seen , felt , heard , or understood : as the name of my hand in Latine , is manus ; the name of an house , is domus ; the name of goodness , is bonitas . Of Nouns , some be Substantives , and some be Adjectives . A Noun Substantive is that standeth by himself , and required not another word to be joyned with him to shew his signification : as , Homo , a man : And it is declined with one article ; as , Hic magister , a master : or else with two at the most : as , Hic & haec parens , a father or mother , A Noun Adjective is that cannot stand by it self in reason or signification , but requireth to be joyned with another word : as , ●onus , good . Pulcher , fair . And it is declined either with three terminations : as , Bonus , bona , bonum : or else with three articles : as , Hic , haec , & hoc Felix , happy : Hic & haec Levis , & hoc Leve , light . A Noun Substantive either is proper to the thing that it betokeneth : as , Edvardus is my proper name : or else is common to more ; as , ●omo is a common name to all men . Numbers of Nouns . IN Nouns be two Numbers , the Singular and the Plural . The singular number speaketh but of one : as , Lapis , a stone . The plural number speaketh of more then one : as , Lapides , stones . Cases of Nouns . NOuns be declined with six cases , Singularly and Plurally : the Nominative , the Genitive , the Dative , the Accusative , the Vocative , and the Ablative . The Nominative case cometh before the Verb , and answereth to this question , Who or What ? as , Magister docet , the Master teacheth . The Genitive case is known by this token Of : and answereth to this question , Whose or whereof ? as , Doctrina Magistri , The learning of the Master . The Dative case is known by this token To : and answereth to this question , To whom ? or To what ? as , Do librum Magistro , I give a book to the Master . The Accusative case followeth the Verb , and answereth to this question , Whom or what ? as , Amo Magistrum , I love the Master . The Vocative case is known by calling or speaking to : as , O Magister , O Master . The Ablative case is commonly joyned with Prepositions serving to the Ablative case : as , De Magistro , Of the Master , Coram Magistro , Before the Master . Also In , With , Through , For , From , By , and Then after the Comparative degree , be signs of the Ablative case . Articles . ARticles are borrowed of the Pronoun , and be thus declined : Singulariter , Nominat . hic , haec , hoc . Genitivo hujus . Dativo huic . Ac. hunc , hanc , hoc . Vocativo caret . Ablativo hoc , hac , hoc . Pluraliter , Nomin . hi , hae , haec . Gen. horum , harum , horum . Dativo his . Accus . hos , has , haec . Vocativo caret . Ablativo his . Genders of Nouns . GEnders of Nouns be seven : the Masculine , the Feminine , the Neuter , the Commune of two , the Commune of three , the Doubtful and the Epicene . The Masculine Gender is declined with this article Hic : as , Hic vir , a man. The Feminine Gender is declined with this article Haec : as , Haec mulier , a woman . The Neuter Gender is declined with this article Hoc : as , Hoc saxum , a stone . The Commune of two is declined with Hic , and haec : as , Hic & haec parens , a father or mother . The Commune of three is declined with Hic , haec , and hoc , as Hic , haec & hoc felix , happy . The Doubtful Gender is declined with Hic , or haec : as , hic vel haec dies , a day . The Epicene Gender is declined with one article ; and under that one article both kinds are signified : as , Hic passer , a sparrow . Haec aquila , an eagle , both he and she . The Declensions of Nouns . The e be five declensions of Nouns . THe first is , when the Genitive & Dative case singular end in ae : The Accusative in am : The Vocative like the Nominative : The Ablative in â : The Nominative plural in ae : The Genitive in arum : The Dative in is : The Accusative in as : the Vocative like the Nominative : The Ablative in is : As in example : Singulariter , Nominat . haec Musa . Pluraliter , Nominat hae musae . Genitivo hujus musae . Ge. harum musarum . Dativo huic musae . Dativo his musis . Accus . hanc musam . Accusat . has musas . Vocativo ô musa . Vocativo ô musae . Ablat . ab hac musa . Abl. ab his musis . Note that Filia and Nata , do make the Dative and the Ab●ative plural in is , or in abus : Also dea , mula , equa , liberta , make the Dative and the Ablative case plural in abus onely . THe second is , when the Genitive case singular endeth in i : The Dative in o : The Accusative in um : The Vocative for the most part like t●e Nomin . The Ablative in o : The Nom. plural in i : The Genitive in orum : The Dative in is : The Accusative in os : The Vocative like the Nominative : the ablative in is . As in example . Singulariter , Nom. hic magister . Pluraliter . Nomina . hi magistri . Gen. hujus magistri . Ge. horū magistrorū . Dativo huic magistro Dativo his magistris . Ac. hunc magistrum . Accus . hos magistros . Vocativo ô magister Vocativo ô magistri . Abl. ab hoc magistro . Abl. ab his magistris . Here is to be noted , that , when the Nominative endeth in us , the vocative shall end in e : as , Nominativo hic Dominus , Vocativo ô Domine . Except Deus , that maketh ô Deus ; and Filius , that maketh ô Fili. When the Nominative endeth in ius , if it be a proper name of a man , the Vocative shall end in i : as , Nominativo hic Georgius , Vocativo ô Georgi . Also these Nouns following make their Vocative in e , or in us : Agnus , lucus , vulgus , populus , chorus , fluvius . Note also that all Nouns of the Neuter . Gender , of what declension soever they be , have the Nominative , the Accusative , and the Vocative alike in both numbers , and in the plural number they end all in a : As in example ; Singulariter . Nom. hoc regnum . Pluraliter Nominat haec regna . Gen. hujus regni . G. horum regnorum . Dativo huic regno . Dativo his regnis . Accusat . hoc regnum Accusat . haec regna . Vocativo ô regnum . Vocativo ô regna . Ablat . ab hoc regno . Ablat . ab his regnis , Except Ambo and Duo , which make the Neuter Gender in o , and be thus declined . Pluraliter , Nominativo ambo , ambae , ambo . Genitivo amborum , ambarum , amborum . Dativo ambobus , ambabus , ambobus . Accusativo ambos , ambas , ambo . Vocativo ambo , ambae , ambo . Abl. Ambobus , ambabus , ambobus . Likewise Duo . THe third is , when the Genitive case singular endeth in is : The Dative in i : The Accusative in em , and sometime in im , & sometime in both : The Vocative like the Nominative : The Ablative in e , or i , and sometime in both : The Nominative plural in es : The Genitive in um , & sometime in ium : The Dative in bus : The Accusative in es : The Vocative like the Nominative : The Ablative in bus . As in example ; Singulariter , Nominat . hic lapis . Pluraliter , Nominat . hi lapides . Gen. hujus lapidis . Gen. horum lapidum . Dativo huic lapidi . Dativo his lapidibus . Accus . hunc lapidem . Accusat . hos lapides . Vocativo ô lapis . Vocativo ô lapides . Ablat . ab hoc lapide . Ablat . ab his lapidibus . Singulariter , No. hic & haec parens Pluraliter , No. hi & hae parentes . Gen. hujus parentis Gen. horum & harum parentum . Dativo huic parenti . Dat. his parentibus . Accus . hunc & hanc parentem . A. hos & has parentes . Voc ô parens Voc. ô parentes . Abl. ab hoc & hac parente . Abl. ab his parentibus . THe fourth is , when the Genitive case singular endeth in us : The Dative in ui : The Accusative in um : The Vocative like the Nominative : the Ablative in u. The Nominative plural in us : The Genitive in uum : The Dative in ibus : The Accusative in us : The Vocative like the Nominative : The Ablative in ibus , As in example : Singulariter , Nominat . haec manus . Pluraliter , Nominat . hae manus . Genit hujus manûs . Gen. harum manuum Dativo huic manui . Dat. his manibus . Accus . hanc manum . Accusat . has manus . Vocativo ô manus . Vocativo ô manus . Abl. ab hac manu . Ablat . ab his manibus . THe fifth is , when the Genitive and Dative case singular do end in ei : The Accusative in em : The Vocative like the Nominative : The Ablative in e. The Nominative plural in es : The Genitive in erum : The Dative in ebus : The Accusative in es : The Vocative like the Nominative : The Ablative in ebus . As in example : Singulariter , Nom. hic meridies . Pluraliter , Nominat . hi meridies . Gen. hujus meridiei . G. horum meridierum . Dat. huic meridiei . Dat. his meridiebus . Ac. hunc meridiem . Accusat . hos meridies . Vocativo ô meridies . Vocativo ô meridies . Abl. ab hoc meridie . Ab. ab his meridiebus . Note that all nouns of the fifth declension be of the feminine gender , except meridies and dies . The declining of Adjectives . A Noun adjective of three terminations is thus declined , after the first & second declension . Singulariter , No. bonus , bona , bonum Pluraliter , No. boni , bonae , bona . Gen. boni , bonae , boni . G. bonorum , bonarū , bonorum . Dat. bono , bonae , bono . Da. bonis . Ac. bonū , bonā , bonum A. bonos , bonas , bona . Vo. bone , bona , bonum . Vo. boni , bonae , bona Abl. bono , bonâ , bono . Ablativo bonis . There are besides these , certain nouns adjectives of another manner of declining , which make the Genitive case singular in ius , and the Dative in i : which be these that follow , with their compounds ; Singulariter , Nom. unus , una , unum . Pluraliter , Nom. uni , unae , una . Genitivo unius . Ge. unorum , unarum , unorum . Dativo uni . Dat. unis . A. unum , unam , unum . Ac. unos , unas , una . Voc. un● , una , unum . Vocat . uni , unae , una . Ablat . uno , unâ , uno . Ablativo unis . Note that unus , una , unum , hath not the plural number , but when it is joyned with a word that lacketh the singular number : as , Unae literae ; Una moenia . In like manner be declined totus , solus , & also ullus , alius , alter , uter and neuter : saving that these five last rehearsed lack the vocative case . A noun adjective of three articles is thus declined after the third declension : Singulariter , Nomin . hic , haec & hoc felix . Pluraliter , Nom. hi & hae felices , & haec felicia . Gen. hujus felicis . Gen. horum , harum & horum felicium . Dutivo huic felici . Dativo his felicibus . Ac. hunc & hanc felicem , & hoc felix . Ac. hos & has felices , & haec felicia . Vocativo ô felix . V. ô felices & ô felicia , Ab. ab hoc , hac & hoc felice , vel felici . Abl. ab his felicibus . Singulariter , No. hic & haec tristis & hoc triste . Pluraliter , No. hi & hae tristes , & haec tristia . Genit . hujus tristis . Ge. horum , harum & horum tristium . Dativo huic tristi . Dativo his tristibus . Ac. hunc & hanc tristem & hoc triste . Ac. hos & has tristes , & haec tristia . V. ô tristis , & ô triste V. ô tristes & ô tristia . Ablat . ab hoc , hac & hoc tristi . Abl. ab his tristibus . Comparisons of Nouns . ADjectives , whose signification may increase or be diminished , may form comparison . There be three degrëes of comparison : The positive , the comparative , and the superlative , The positive betokeneth the thing absolutely without excesse : as Durus , Hard. The comparative somewhat exceedeth his positive in signification : as , Durior , hardor . And it is formed of the first case of his positive that endeth in i ▪ by putting thereto or and us : as of Duri , hic & haec durior , & hoc durius : of Tristi , hic & haec tristior & hoc tristius : of Dulci , hic & haec dulcior , & hoc dulcius . The superlative exceedeth his positive in the highest degree : as , Durissimus , Hardest . And it is formed of the first case of his positive that endeth in i , by putting thereto s and simus , as of Duri durissimus ; of Tristi , tristissimus ; of Dulci dulcissimus . From these general rules are excepted these that follow ; Bonus , melior , optimus : Malus , pejor , pessimus : Magnus , major , maximus : Parvus , minor , minimus : Multus , plurimus ; multa , plurima ; multum plus , plurimum . And if the positive end in er , the superlative is formed of the nominative case , by putting to rimus ; as , Pulcher , pulcherrimus . Also these nouns ending in lis , make the superlative by changing lis into limus , as Humilis , humillimus : similis , simillimus : Facilis , facillimus : Gracilis , gracillimus : Agilis , agillimus : Docilis , docillimus . All other nouns ending in lis , do follow the general rule aforegoing : as , Utilis , utilissimus . Also if a vowel come before us , it is compared by Magìs ▪ and Maximè : as Pius , magìs pius , maximè pius : Assiduus , magìs assiduus , maximè assiduus . Of the Pronoun . A Pronoun is a part of speech much like to a Noun , which is used in shewing or rehearsing . There be fifteen Pronouns , Ego , tu , sui , ille , ipse , iste , hic , is , meus , tuus , suus , noster , vester , nostras , vestras . whereof four have the Vocative case : as , Tu meus , noster , and nostras , and all others lack the Vocative case . To these may be added their compounds , Egomet , tute , idem ; and also Qui , quae , quod . These eight Pronouns , Ego , tu , sui , ille , ipse , iste , hic , and is , be Primitives : so called , for because they be not derived of others . And they be also called Demonstratives , because they shew a thing not spoken of before . And there six , Hic , ille , iste , is , idem , and qui , be Relatives ; because they rehearse a thing that was spoken of before . These seven , Meus , tuus , suus , noster , vester , nostrâs , vestrâs , be Derivatives : for they be derived of their primitives , Mei , tui , sui , nostri , and vestri . There belong to a Pronoun these five things ; Number , Case and Gender , as are in a Noun : Declension and Person , as here followeth . The Declensions of Pronouns . There be four Declensions of Pronouns . These three , Ego , tu , sui , be of the first declension , and be thus declined ; Singulariter , Nominativo Ego . Pluraliter , Nominativo nos . Genitivo mei . G. nostrûm vel nostrî . Dativo mihi . Dativo nobis . Accusativo me . Accusativo nos . Vocativo caret . Vocativo caret . Ablativo à me . Abl. à nobis . Singulariter , Nominativo Tu. Pluraliter , Nominativo vos . Genitivo tui . G. vestrûm vel vestrî . Dativo tibi . Dativo vobis . Accusativo te . Accusativo vos . Vocativo ô tu . Vocativo ô vos . Ablativo à te . Ablativo à vobis . Singulariter & Pluraliter , Nominativo caret . Genitivo sui . Dativo sibi . Accusat . se . Vocat . caret . Ablat . à se . These six , Ille , ipse , iste , hic , is and qui , be of the second declension , and be thus declined ; Singulariter , Nomin , iste , ista , istud . Pluraliter . Nomin . isti , istae , ista . Genitivo istius . Ge. istorum , istarum , istorum . Dativo isti . Dat ▪ istis . Ac. istum , istam , istud Acc. istos , istas , ista . Vocativo caret . Vocativo caret . Ablat . isto , istā , isto . Ablativo istis . Ille is declined like iste ; and also Ipse , saving that the neuter gender in the nominative case , & in the accusative case singular maketh ipsum . Nominativo hic , haec , hoc : Genitivo hujus : Dativo huic : as afore in the Noun . Singulariter , Nominat . is , ea , id . Pluraliter , Nominativo ii , eae , ea . Genitivo ejus . G. eorum , earum , eorum . Dativo ei . Dativo iis , vel eis . Accus . eum , eam , id . Accusativo eos , eas , ea . Vocativo caret . Vocativo caret . Ablativo eo , eâ , eo . Ablativo iis , vel eis . Singulariter , Nom. qui , quae , quod . Pluraliter , N. qui , quae , quae . Genitivo cujus . G. quorū , quarū , quorū Dativo cui . Dat. quibus vel queis Ac , quem , quam , quod . quî Acc. quos , quas , quae . Vocativo caret . Vocativo caret . Abl. quo , quâ , quo vel Ab. quibus vel queis . Likewise Quis and Quid be declined , whether they be interrogatives . or Indefinites . Also Quisquis is thus declined ; Nom. Quisquis , Ac Quicquid . Abl. Quoquo ,   Quaqua , Quicquid Quoquo . Where note , that Quid is always a substantive of the Neuter gender . These five , Meus , tuus , suus , noster , and vester , are of the third declension , & be declined like nouns adjectives of three terminations , in this wise : Singulariter , Nom , meus , mea , meum . Pluraliter , N. mei , meae , mea . Genit . mei , meae , mei . G. meorum , mearū , meorum . Dativo meo , meae , meo . Da. meis . Ac. meum , meam , meum . A. meos , meas , mea . Vocat . mi , mea , meum . Voc. mei , meae , mea . Ablat . meo , meâ , meo . Ablativo meis . So is Noster declined , and tuus , suus , vester , saving that these three last do lack the Vocative case . Nostras , vestras , and this noun Cujas , be of the fourth declension , and be thus declined . Singulariter , N. hic & haec nostras & hoc nostrate . Pluraliter , N. hi & hae nostrates & haec nostratia . Gen. hujus nostratis Gen. horum , harum , & horum nostratium . Dati . huic nostrati . Dat. his nostratibus . Ac. hunc & hanc nostratē & hoc nostrate Ac. hos & has nostrates , & haec nostratia . Vocativo ô nostras , & ô nostrate . Vocat . ô nostrates , & ô nostratia . Ab ▪ ab hoc hac & hoc nostrate vel nostrati . Ab. ab his nostratibus Here is to be noted , that Nostras , vestras , and this noun Cujas , be called Gentiles , because they properly betoken pertaining to Countreys or Nations , to Seas or Factions . A Pronoun hath three persons . The first person speaketh of himself : as , Ego , I , Nos , we . The second person is spoken to : as , Tu , Thou , Vos , ye . And of this person is also every Vocative case . The third person is spoken of : as , Ille , He ; Illi , They : and therefore all Nouns , Pronouns , and Participles , be of the third person . Of a Verb. A Verb is a part of speech declined with mood end tense , and betokeneth doing , as , Amo , I love : or suffering , as , Amor , I am loved : or being ; as , Sum , I am . Of verbs , such as have persons be called personals : as , Ego amo , tu amas . And such as have no persons , be called impersonals : as , Taedet , It irketh Oportet , it behoveth . ; Of verbs personals there be five kinds ; Active , passive , neuter , deponent , and commune . A verb active endeth in o , and betokeneth to do : as , Amo , I love ; and by putting to r , it may be a passive : as , Amor. A verb passive endeth in or , and betokeneth to suffer : as , Amor , I am loved ; and by putting away r it may be an active : as , Amo. A verb neuter endeth in o or m , and cannot take r to make him a passive : as , Curro , I run Sum , I am . ; And it is Englished sometime actively : as , Curro , I run : and sometime passively ; as , Aegroto , I am sick . A verb deponent endeth in r like a passive and yet in signification is but either active ; as , Loquor verbum , I speak a word : or neuter ; as , Glorior , I boast . A verb commune endeth in r , and yet in signification is both active and passive : as , Osculor a te , I kiss thee Osculor à te , I am kissed of thee . ; Moods . THere be six moods : The indicative , the imperative , the optative , the potential , the subjunctive and the infinitive . The indicative mood sheweth a reason true or false , as , Ego amo , I love : or else asketh a question : as , Amas tu ? Dost thou love ? The imperative biddeth or commandeth : as , Ama , Love thou . The optative wisheth or desireth , with these signs , Would God , I pray God , or God grant , as Utinam amem , I pray God I love : and hath commonly an adverb of wishing joyned with him . The potential mood is known by these signs , May , can , might , would , should , could , or ought : as , Amem , I may , or can love : without an adverb joyned with him . The subjunctive mood hath evermore some conjunction joyned with him : as , Cùm amarem , When I loved . And it is called the subjunctive mood , because it dependeth of another verb in the same sentence , either going before , or comming after : as , Cùm amarem , eram miser ; When I loved , I was a wretch . The infinitive signifieth to do , to suffer , or to be , and hath neither number nor person , nor nominative case before him : and is known commonly by this signe , To : as , Amare , To love . Also when two verbs come together without any nominative case between them , then the latter shall be the infinitive mood : as , Cupio discere , I desire to learn. Gerunds . THere be moreover belonging to the infinitive mood of verbs , certain voices called Gerunds ending in di , do , and dum : which have both the active and passive signification : as , Amandi , Of loving , or of being loved : Amando , In loving , or in being loved : Amandum , To love , or to be loved . Supines . THere be also appertaining unto verbs two supines : the one ending in um , which is called the first supine , because it hath the signification of the verb active ; as , Eo amatum , I go to love : And the other in u , which is called the latter supine , because it hath for the most part the signification passive ; as , Difficilis amatu , Hard to be loved . Tenses . THere be five tenses or times : the present tense , the preterimperfect , the preterperfect , the preterpluperfect , and the future tense . The present tense speaketh of the time that now is : as , Amo , I love . The preterimperfect tense speaketh of the time not perfectly past : as , Amabam , I loved , or did love . The preterperfect tense speaketh of the time perfectly past , with this signe Have : as , Amavi , I have loved . The preterpluperfect tense speaketh of the time more then perfectly past , with this signe Had : as , A maveram , I had loved . The future tense speaketh of the time to come , with this signe Shall or will : as , Amabo , I shall or will love ▪ Persons . THere be also in verbs three persons in both numbers : as , Singulariter , Ego amo , I love ; Tu amas , Thou lovest ; I lle amat , He loveth . Pluraliter , Nos amamus , We love ; Vos amatis , Ye love ; Illiamant They love . Conjugations . VErbs have four conjugations , which be known after this manner . The first conjugation hath a long before re and ris : as , Amāre amāris . The second coniugation hath e long before re and ris : as , Docēre , Docēris . The third conjugation hath e short before re and ris : as , Legĕre , legĕris . The fourth conjugation hath i long before re and ris : as , Audīre , audīris .

Eo and Queo make Ibam and Quibam in the preterimperfect tense of the Indicative mood , and Ibo and Quibo in the future tense : and in all other moods , and tenses are varied like verbs in o of the fourth Conjugation ; saving that they make their gerunds , Eundi , cundo , eundum . Queundi , quendo , queundum . Of the preterperfect tense of the Indicative mood , be formed the preterpluperfect tense of the same mood ; the preterperfect tense , the preterpluperfect tense , and the future tense , of the Optative mood , the Potential mood , and the Subjunctive mood ; the preterperfect tense , and the preterpluperfect tense of the Infinitive mood : as of amavi , are formed Amaveram , amaverim , amavero , by changing i into o short : and , Amavissem , amavisse , keeping i still . IMpersonals be declined throughout all Moods and Tenses in the voice of the third person singular onely : as , Delectat , delectabat , delectavit , delectaverat , delectabit .

A Participle is a part of speech derived of a Verb : and taketh part of a Noun , as Gender , case , and declension : and part of a Verb , as Tense and signification : and part of both , as Number and figure . There be four kinds of Participles : one of the Present tense , another of the preter tense ; one of the Future in rus , & another of the Future in dus . A Participle of the Present tense hath his English ending in ing ; as Loving : & his Latine in ans or ens ; as Amans , docens . And it is formed of the preterimperfect tense of the Indicative Mood by changing the last syllabe into ●s : as , Amabam , amans . Audiebam , audiens . Auxiliabar , auxilians . Poteram , potens . A Participle of the Future in rus betokeneth to do , like the Infinitive mood of the Active voice : as , Amaturus , To love , or about to love . And it is formed of the latter Supine , by putting to rus : as doctu , docturus . A Participle of the Preter tense hath his English ending in d , t , or n ; as loved , taught , slain : and his Latine in tus , sus , xus ; as , Amatus , visus , nexus ; and one in uus , as Mortuus . And it is formed of the latter Supine , by putting to s : as , Lectu , lectus ; except Mortuus A Participle of the Future in dus betokeneth to suffer , like the Infinitive mood of the passive voice : as , Amandus , To be loved . And it is formed of the Genitive case of the Participle of the present tense by changing t is into dus ▪ as , Amantis , amandus ; Legentis , legendus . And it is also found to have the signification of the Participle of the Present tense : as , Legendis veteribus proficis , In reading old authours thou dost profit . Of a verb Active , and of a verb Neuter which hath the Supines , come two Participles : one of the Present tense , and another of the Future in rus ; as of Amo , cometh Amans , amaturus : of Curro , Currens , cursurus . Of a verb Passive , whose Active hath the Supines , come two Participles : one of the Preter tense , and another of the Future tense in dus : as of Amor cometh amatus , amandus . Of a verb deponent come three Participles : one of the Present tense , one of the Preter tense , and another of the Future in rus : as of Auxilior , cometh auxilians , auxiliatus , auxiliaturus . And if the verb Deponent do govern an Accusative case after him , it may form also a participle in dus : as of Loquor , loquendus . Of a verb Commune come four participles : as of Largior , cometh largiens , largiturus , largitus , largiendus . Participles of the present tense be declined like Nouns adjectives of three articles : as , Nominativo hic , haec & hoc amans , Genitivo hujus amantis , Dativo huic amanti , &c.

FOr the due joyning of words in construction , it is to be understood , that in Latine speech there be three Concords : The first between the nominative case and the verb , The second , between the substantive and the adjective , The third , between the antecedent and the relative . The first Concord . WHen an English is given to be made in Latine , look out the principal verb. If there be more verbs then one in a sentence , the first is the principal verb , except it be the infinitive mood , or have before it a relative : as , that , whom , which : or a conjunction : as , Ut , that Cùm when Si , if ; ; ; and such others . When ye have found the verb ask this question , who , or what ? and the word that answereth to the question shall be the nominative case to the verb ; except it be a verb impersonal , which will have no nominative case . And the nominative case shall in making and construing Latine be set before the verb ; except a question be asked , and then the nominative is set after the verb , or after the sign of the verb : as , b Amas a tu ? Lovest thou ? b Venítne a Rex ? Doth the king come ? Likewise if the verb be of the Imperative mood : as , b Ama a tu , Love thou b Amato a ille , Let him love . And sometime when this sign , it , or there , cometh before the English of the verb : as , b Est a liber meus , It is my book . a Venit ad meb quidam , There came one to me . And that casual word which cometh next after the verb , and answereth to this question whom ? or what ? made by the verb , shall commonly be the accusative case : except the verb do properly govern another case after him to be construed withall : as , Si cupisa placereb magistro , a utere b diligentiâ ; nec sis tantus b cessator , utb calcaribus a indigeas , If thou covet to please the master , use diligence : & be not so slack , that thou shalt need spurs . A verb personal agreeth with his nominative case in number and person : as , a Praeceptor b legit , z vos verò b negligitis , The master readeth , and ye regard not . Where note , that the first person is more worthy then the second , and the second more worthy then the third . Many nominative cases singular , with a conjunction copulative coming between them , will have a verb plural ; which verb plural shall agree with the nominative case of the most worthy person , as a Ego & tu b sumus in tuto , I and thou be in safeguard . a Tu & pater b periclitamini , Thou & thy father are in jeopardy . a Pater & praeceptor b accersunt te , Thy father and thy master have sent for thee . When a verb cometh between two nominative cases of divers numbers , the verb may indifferently accord with either of them , so that they be both of one person : as , Amantium irae , amoris a redintegratio b est , The falling out of lovers is the renewing of love . a Quid enim nisi a vota b supersunt ? For wh●●r remaineth save onely prayers ? Pectora percussit , a pectus quoque a robora b fiunt , She stroke her breast , and her breast turned into oak also . Here note also , that sometime the infinitive mood of a verb , or else a whole clause afore-going , or else some member of a sentence may be the nominative case to the verb : as , a Diluculo surgere , saluberrimum b est , To rise betime in the morning , is the most wholsome thing in the world . a Multum scire , vita b est jucundissima , To know much , is the most pleasant ( or sweetest ) life of all . The second Concord . WHen ye have an adjective , ask this question who ? or what ? and the word that answereth to the question , shall be the substantive to it . The adjective , whether it be a noun , pronoun , or participle , agreeth with his substantive in case , gender and number : as , Amicus b certus in a re b incerta cernitur , A sure friend is tried in a doubtful matter , a Homo b armatus , A man armed . a Ager colendus . A field to be tilled . b Hic c vir , This man. b Meus a herus est , It is my master . Where note , that the Mosculine gender is more worthy then the Feminine , and the Feminine more worthy then the Neuter . Many substantives singular , having a conjunction copulative coming between them , will have an adjective plural ; which adjective shall agree with the substantive of the most worthy gender : as , Rex & Regina , beati , The king & the queen are blessed . The third Concord . WHen ye have a relative , ask this question who ? or what ? and the word that answereth to the question , shall be the antecedent to it . The antecedent most commonly is a word th●● goeth before the relative , and is rehearsed again of the relative . The relative agreeth with his antecedent in gender , number and person : as a Vir sapit , b qui pauca loquitur , That man is wise that speaketh few things , or words . Sometimes the relative hath for his antecedent the whole reason that goeth before him , and then he shall be put in the neuter gender and singular number : as , a In tempore veni , b quod omnium rerum est primum , I came in season which is the chiefest thing of all . But if the relative be referred to two clauses or more , then the relative shall be but in the plural number : as , a Tu multùm dormis & a saepe potas , b quae ambo sunt corpori inimica , Thou sleepest much , & drinkest often , both which things are naught for the body . When this English that , may be turned into this English which , it is a relative : otherwise it is a conjunction , which in Latine is called quòd , or ut , and in making Latine , it may elegantly be put away , by turning the nominative case into the accusative , and the verb into the infinitive mood : as , Gaudeo a quòd tu bene b vales : Gaudeo a te bene b valere , I am glad that thou art in good health . Jubeo a ut tu b abeas : Jubeo a te ● abire , I bid that thou go hence . Many antecedents singular , having a conjunction copulative between them , will have a relative plural ; which relative shall agree with the antecedent of the most worthy gender : as , a Imperium & aa dignitas b quae petîisti , The rule and dignity which thou hast required . But in things not apt to have life , the neuter gender is most worthy : yea , & in such case , though the substantives , or antecedents be of the masculine or of the feminine gender , and none of them of the neuter ; yet may the adjective or relative be put in the neuter gender : as , a Arcus & aa calami sunt bona . The bow and arrows be good : a Arcus & aa calami b quae fregisti , The bow and arrows which thou hast broken . The case of the Relative . WHen there cometh no nominative case between the relative and the verb , the relative shall be the nominative case to the verb : as , Miser est a qui nummos b admiratur , Wretched is that person which is in love with money . But when there cometh a nominative case between the relative and the verb , the relative shall besuch case as the verb will have after him : as , Felix , b quem aa faciunt aliena a pericula cautum . Happy is he whom other mens harins do make to beware . As the relative may be the nominative case to the verb , so it may be the substantive to the adjective that is joyned with him , or that cometh after him : as , Divitias amare noli , a quod omnium est b sordidissimum , Love not thou riches , which to do is the most beggerly thing in the world . Nouns interrogatives and indefinites follow the rule of the relative : as , Quis , uter , qualis , quantus , quotus , &c. which evermore come before the verb , like as the relative doth : as , Hei mihi ! qualis erat ? Talis erat , b qualem nunquam ● vidi . Yet here is to be understood and noted , that the relative is not always governed of the verb that it cometh before , but sometime of the infinitive mood that cometh after the verb : as , b Quibus voluisti me gratias a agere , egi , What persons thou wouldest me to thank , I have thanked . Sometime of a participle : as , b Quibus rebus a adductus fecisti ? With what things moved didst thou it ? Sometime of the gerund : as , b Quae nunc non est a narrandi locus , Which things at this present is no time to tell . Sometime of the preposition set before him : as , b Quem a in locum deducta res sit , vides , Vnto what state the matter is now brought , thou seest . Sometime of the substantive that it doth accord with ; as , Senties b qui a vir siem Thou shalt perceive what a fellow I am . Albeit in this manner of speaking , qui is an indefinite , and not a relative . Sometime of a noun partitive or distributive : as , b Quarum rerum a utram minùs velim , non facilè possum existimare , Of the which two things , whether I would with less will have , I cannot easily esteem . Sometime it is put in the genitive case , by reason of a substantive coming next after him : as , Ego illum non novi , b cujus a causâ hoc incipis , I knew him not , for whose cause thou beginnest this . Sometime it is otherwise governed of a noun substantive : as , Omnia tibi dabuntur , b quibus a opus habes . All things shall be given thee which thou hast need of . Sometime of an adverb : as , b Cui utrùma obviàm procedam nondum statui , Whom whether I will go to meet with , I have not yet determined . Sometime it is put in the ablative case with this signe then , & is governed of the comparative degree coming after him : as Utere virtute , b quâ nihil esta melius , Vse vertue , then the which nothing is better . Sometime it is not governed at all , but is put in the abla●ive case absolute : as , Quantus erat Julius Caesar . ab quo Imperatore , Romani primùm Britanniam ingressi sunt ! How worthy a man was Iulius Cesar , under whose conduct the Romans first entred into Britain ! Also when it signifiith an instrument where with a thing is to be done , it is put in the ablative case : as , Ferrum habuit , b quo sea occideret , He had a knife , wherewith he would have slain himself . When a relative cometh between two substantives of divers genders , it may indifferently accord with either of them : as , a Avis , b quae passer appellatur ; or , Avis , b qui a passer appellatur , The bird which is called a sparrow . Yea , though the substantives be of divers numbers also : as , Estne ea a Lutetia , b quam nos Parisios dicimus ? Is not that called Lutetia , that we do call Paris ? or else , Estne ea Lutetia , b quos nos a Parisios dicimus ? Constructions of nouns Substantives . WHen two substantives come together betokening divers things , the latter shall be the genitive case : as , a Facundia b Ciceronis , The eloquence of Cicero . a Opus b Virgilii , The work of Virgil. a Amator b studiorum , A lover of studies . a Dogma b Platonis , The opinion of Plato . But if they belong both to one thing , they shall be put both in one case : as , a Pater meus b vir amat a me b puerum , My father being a man loveth me a child . When the English of this word res , is put with an adjective , ye may put away res , and put the adjective in the neuter gender , like a substantive : as , ab Multa me impedierunt , Many things have letted me . And being so put , it may be the substantive to the adjective : as , a Pauca his b similia , A few things like unto these . a Nonnulla b hujusmodi , Many things of like sort . An adjective in the neuter gender , put alone without a substantive , standeth for a substantive , and may have a genitive case after him , as if it were a substantive : as , a Multum b lucri , Much gain . a Quantum b negotii ? How much business ? a Id ▪ operis , That work . Words importing indument of any quality or property , to the praise or dispraise of a thing , coming after a noun substantive , or a verb substantive , may be put in the ablative case , or in the genitive : state the matter is now brought , thou seest . Sometime of the substantive that it doth accord with ; as , Sentiesb quia vir siem Thou shalt perceive what a fellow I am . Albeit in this manner of speaking , qui is an indefinite , and not a relative . Sometime of a noun partitive or distributive : as , ● Quarum rerum a utram minùs velim , non facilè possum existimare , Of the which two things , whether I would with less will have , I cannot easily esteem . Sometime it is put in the genitive case , by reason of a substantive coming next after him : as , Ego illum non novi , b cujus a causâ hoc incipis , I knew him not , for whose cause thou beginnest this . Sometime it is otherwise governed of a noun substantive : as Omnia tibi dabuntur , b quibus a opus habes . All things shall be given thee which thou hast need of . Sometime of an adverb : as , b Cui utrùm a obviàm procedam nondum statui , Whom whether I will go to meet with , I have not yet determined . Sometime it is put in the ablative case with this signe then , & is governed of the comparative degree coming after him : as Utere virtute , b quâ nihil est ● melius , Vse vertue , then the which nothing is better . Sometime it is not governed at all , but is put in the abla ive case absolute : as , Quantus erat Julius Caesar . ab quo Imperatore , Romani primùm Britanniam ingressi sunt ! How worthy a man was Iulius Cesar , under whose conduct the Romans first entred into BritIin ! Also when it signifiith an instrument wherewith a thing is to be done , it is put in the ablative case : as , Ferrum habuit , b quo se a occideret , He had a knife , wherewith he would have slain himself . When a relative cometh between two substantives of divers genders , it may indifferently accord with either of them : as , a Avis , b quae passer appellatur ; or , Avis , b qui a passer appellatur , The bird which is called a sparrow . Yea , though the substantives be of divers numbers also : as , ●stne ea a Lutetia , b quam nos Parisios dicimus ? Is not that called Lutetia , that we do call Paris ? or else , Estne ea Lutetia , b quos nos a Parisios dicimus ? Constructions of nouns Substantives . WHen two substantives come together betokening divers things , the latter shall be the genitive case : as , a Facundia b Ciceronis , The eloquence of Cicero . a Opus b Virgilii , The work of Virgil. a Amator b studiorum , A lover of studies . a Dogma b Platonis , The opinion of Plato . But if they belong both to one thing , they shall be put both in one case : as , ● Peter meus b vir amat a me b puerum , My father being a man loveth me a child . When the English of this word res , is put with an adjective , ye may put away res , and put the adjective in the neuter gender , like a substantive : as , ab Multa me impedierunt , Many things have letted me . And being so put , it may be the substantive to the adjective : as , a Pauca his b similia , A few things like unto these . a Nonnulla b hujusmodi , Many things of like sort . An adjective in the neuter gender , put alone without a substantive , standeth for a substantive , and may have a genitive case after him , as if it were a substantive : as , a Multum b lucri , Much gain . a Quantum b negotii ? How much business ? a Id b operis , That work . Words importing indument of any quality or property , to the praise or dispraise of a thing , coming after a noun substantive , or a verb substantive , may be put in the ablative case , or in the genitive : as , a Puer b bona-indole ; or , a Puer b bonae-indolis . A child of good towardness . a Puer b boni-ingenii , or , a puer b bono-ingenio . A child of a good wit. Opus and Usus , when they be Latine for need , require an ablative case : as : a Opus est mihi tuo b judicio , I have need of thy judgement . Viginti b minis a usus est filio , My son hath need of twenty pounds . Constructions of Adjectives . The Genitive case . ADjectives that signifie desire , knowledge , remembrance , ignorance , or forgetting , and such other like require a genitive case : as , a Cupidus b auri , Covetous of money . a Peritus b belli , Expert of warfare . a Ignarus b omnium , Ignorant of all things a Fidens b animi , Bold of heart . a Dubius b mentis , Doubtful of mind . a Memor b praeteriti , Mindful of that is past . a Reus b furti , Accused of theft . Nouns partitives and certain interrogatives , with certain nouns of number , require a genitive case : as , Aliquis , uter , neuter , nemo , nullus , solus , unus , medius quisque , quisquis , quicunque , quidam , quis for aliquis , or quis an interrogative : Unus , duo , tres . Primus , secundus , tertius , &c. as , aAliquis bnostrûm , aPrimus bomnium . When a question is asked , the answer in Latine must be made by the same case of a noun , pronoun , or participle , and by the same tense of a verb that the question is asked by : as . a Cujus est fundus ? b Vicini . Quid a agitur in ludo literario ? b Studetur . Except a question be asked by Cujus , ja , um : as , a Cuja est sententia ? b Ciceronis . Or by a word that may govern divers cases : as b Quanti a emisti librum ? bb Parvo . Or except I must answer by one of these possessives , Meus , tuus , suus , noster , vester , as , a Cujus est domus ? non b vestra , sed bb nostra . Nouns of the comparative and the superlative degree , being put partitively , that is to say , having after them this English of , or among , require a genitive case : as , b Aurium a mollior est sinistra , Of the ears the left is the softer . Cicero b Oratorum a eloquentissimus , Cicero the most eloquent of Oratours . Nouns of the comparative degree , having then or by after them , do cause the word following to be the ablative case : as , a Frigidior b glacie , More cold then ice . a Doctior b multo , Better learned by a great deal .

Likewise nouns adjectives of the passive signification in bilis , and participials in dus : as , a Flebilis , aa flendus b omnibus , To be lamented of all men . a Formidabilis , aa formidandus b hosti , To be feared of his enemy . The Accusative case .

Arbor a lata b tres-digitos , A tree three fingers broad . Liber a crassus b tres-pollices , vel bb tribus-pollicibus , A book three inches thick . The Ablative case .

Quis nisi bmentis ainops , oblatum respuat aurum ? aInteger bvitae , bscelerísque apurus , non eget Mauri jaculis , nec arcu . aExpers bomnium . Corpus ainane animae . These Adjectives , Dignus , indignus , praeditus , captus , contentus , with such others , will have an ablative case : as , aDignus bhonore . aCaptus boculis . bVirtute apraeditus . bPaucis acontentus . Where note that Dignus , indignus , and contentus , may in stead of the ablative case have an infinitive mood of a verb : as , a Dignus b laudari , worthy to be praised . a Contentus in pace b vivere . Content to live in peace . Construction of the Pronoun . THese genitive cases of the primitives , Mei , tui , sui , nostrâ and vestri , be used when suffering or passion be signified : as , a Pars tui . a Amor b mei . But when possession is signified , Meus , tuus , suus , noster , and vester , be used , as , a Ars b tua . a Imago b tua . These genitive cases , Nostrûm , vestrûm , be used after distributives , partitives , comparatives , and superlatives : as , a Nemo b vestrûm . a Aliquis b nostrûm . a Major b vestrûm . a Maximus natu b nostrûm . Construction of the Verb : and first with the Nominative case . SUm , forem , fio , existo , and certain verbs passives , as , Dicor . vocor , salutor , appellor , habeor , existimor , videor , with other like , will have such case after them , as they have before them : as , a Fama aa est b malum , Fame is an evil thing . a Malus culturâ aa fit b bonus , An evil person by due ordering or governance is made good . a Croesus aa vocatur b dives , Cresus is called rich . ● Horatius aa salutatur b Poeta , Horace is saluted by the name of a Poet. Malo a te b divitem aa esse , quàm haberi , I had rather thou wert rich indeed then so accounted . Also verbs that betoken bodily moving , going , resting , or doing , which be properly called verbs of gesture : as , Eo , incedo , curro , sedeo , appareo , bibo , cubo , studeo , dormio , somnio , & such other like , as they have before them a nominative case of the doer or sufferer , so may they have after them a nominative case of a noun , or participle , declaring the manner or circumstance of the doing or suffering : as , a Incedo claudus , I go lame . a Petrus aa dormit b securus , Peter sleepeth void of care . a Tu aa cubas b supinus , Thou liest in bed with thy face upward . a Somnias b vigilans , Thou dreamest waking . a Studeto b stans , Study thou standing . And likewise in the accusative case , as , Non decet quenquam aa meiere ● currentem , aut mandentem , It doth not become any man to piss running , or eating . And generally when the word that goeth before the verb , and the word that cometh after the verb belong both to one thing , that is to say , have respect either to other , or depend either of other , they shall be put both in one case , whether the verb be transitive or intransitive , of what kind soever the verb be : as , a Loquor ● frequens . I speak often . a Taceo b multus , I hold my peace much . a Scribo epistolas b rarissimus , I write letters very seldom . Nè a assuescas aa bibere vinum b jejunus , Accustom not thy self to drink wine next thy heart , or not having eaten somewhat before . The Genitive case . THis verb Sum , when it betokeneth or importeth possession , owning or otherwise pertaining to a thing , as a token , property , duty or guise , it causeth the noun , pronoun , or participle following to be put in the genitive case : as , Haec vestis a est b patris , This garment is my fathers . b Insipientis a est dicere , non putâram , It is the property of a fool to say I had not thought . Extremae a est b demontiae discere dediscēda , It is a point of the greatest folly in the world , to learn things that must afterward be learned otherwise . b Orantis a est nihil nisi coelestia cogitare , It is the duty of a man that is saying his prayers , to have mind on nothing but heavenly things . Except that these pronouns , Meus , tuus , suus , noster , and vester , shall in such manner of speaking be used in the nominative case : as , Hic codex a est b meus . This book is mine . Haec domus a est b vestra , This house is yours . Non a est mentiri b meum , It is not my guise ( or property ) to lie . b Nostrum a est injuriam non inferre , It is our parts not to do wrong . b Tuum a est omnia juxtà pati , It is thy part ( or duty ) to suffer all things alike . Verbs that betoken to esteem or regard require a genitive case betokening the value : as , b Parvi a ducitur probitas , Honesty is reckoned little worth . b Maximi a penditur nobilitas , Nobleness of birth is very much regarded . Verbs of accusing , condemning , warning , purging , quitting , or assoyling , will have a genitive case of the crime , or of the cause , or of the thing that one is accused , condemned , or warned of : or else an ablative case , most cōmonly without a preposition : as , Hic b furti se a alligat , vel bb furto . a Admonuit me b errati , vel bb errato . b De pecuniis-repe●undis a damnatus est . Satago , misereor , miseresco , require a genitive case : as , Rerum suarum asatagit . aMiserere bmei Deus . Reminiscor , obliviscor , recordor , and memini , will have a genitive , or an accusative case : as , aReminiscor bhistoriae . aObliviscor bcarminis . aRecordor bpueritiam , aObliviscor blectionem . aMemini btui , vel bbte , I remember thee . aMemini bde te , I spake of thee . aEgeo , or indigeo , btui , vel bbte , I have need of thee . aPotior burbis , I conquer the city . aPotior bvoto , I obtain my desire . The Dative case . ALl manner of verbs put acquisitively , that is to say , with these tokens to or for after them , will have a dative case : as , Non b omnibus a dormio , I sleep not to all men . b Huic a habeo , non b tibi , I have it for this man , and not for thee . To this rule do belong verbs betokening To Profit or disprofit : as , Commodo , incommodo , noceo . To Compare : as , Comparo , compono , confero . To Give or restore : as , Dono , reddo , refero . To Promise or to pay : as , Promitto , polliceor , solvo , To Command or shew : as , Impero , indico , monstro . To Trust : as , Fido , confido , fidem habeo . To Obey , or to be against : as , Obedio , adulor , repugno . To Threaten , or to be angry with : as , Minor , indignor , irascor . Also Sum , with his compounds , except Possum : Also verbs compound with satìs , bene and malé : as , Satisfacio , benefacio , malefacio : Finally , certain verbs compound with these prepositions , Prae , ad , con , sub , ante , post , ob , in , and inter , will have a dative case : as , Praeluceo , adjaceo , condono , suboleo , antesto , posthabeo , objicio , insulto , intersero . This verb Sum , es , fui , may oftentimes be put for habeo , and then the word that seemeth in the English to be the nominative case , shall be put in the dative , and the word that seemeth to be the accusative case , shall be the nominative , as aEst b mihi a mater , I have a mother . Non a est b mihi a argentum , I have no money . But if Sum be the infinitive mood , this nominative shall be turned into the accusative , as , Scio b tibi non esse a argentum , I know thou hast no money . Also when Sum hath after him a nominative case and a dative , the word , that is the nominative case , may be also the dative : so that Sum may in such manner of speaking be construed with a double dative case ; as , a Sum b tibi bb praesidio , I am to thee a safeguard . Haecres a est mihi bb voluptati , This thing is to me a pleasure . And not onely Sum , but also many other verbs may in such manner of speaking have a double dative case ; one of the person , and another of the thing : as , a Do b tibi vestem bb pignori . a Verto hoc b tibi bb vitio . Hoc tu b tibi bb laudi a ducis . The Accusative case . VErbs transitives are all such as have after them an accusative case of the doer or sufferer ; whether they be active , commune , or deponent : as , Usus b promptos a facit . Foeminae a ludificantur b viros . a Largitur b pecuniam . Also verbs neuters may have an accusative case of their own signification : as , Endymionis b somnum a dormis . a Gaudeo b gaudium . a Vivo b vitam . Verbs of asking , teaching , and arraying , will have two accusative cases ; one of the sufferer , and another of the thing , as , a Rogo b te bb pecuniam . a Doceo b te bb literas . bb Quod b te jamdudum a hortor . a Exuo b me bb gladium . The Ablative case . ALl verbs require an ablative case of the instrument , put with this signe with before it , or of the cause , or of the manner of doing : as , a Ferit cum b gladio . a Taceo b metu . Summâ b eloquentiâ causam a egit . The word of price is put after verbs in the ablative case : as , a Vendidi b auro . a Emptus sum b argento : Except these genitives , when they be put alone without substantives , Tanti quanti , pluris , minoris , tantivis , tantidem , quantivis , quantilibet , quanticunque : as Quanti ● mercatus es hunc equum ? Certè b pluris quàm a vellem . Saving that after verbs of price we shal always use these adverbs . Cariùs , viliùs , meliùs , and pejùs , instead of their casuals . Verbs of plenty or scarceness , filling , emptying , loading or unloading , will have an ablative case : as , aAffluis bopibus , aCares bvirtute . aExpleote bfabulis . aSpoliavit me b bonis omnibus . aOneras stomachum b cibo . a Levabo te hoc b onere , Likewise , Utor , fungor , fruor , potior , laetor , gaudeo , dignor , muto , munero , communico , afficio , prosequor , impertio , impertior . Verbs that betoken receiving , or distance , or taking away , will have an ablative case , with , à , ab , è ex , or de : as , a Accepit literas b à Petro. a Audivi b exnuncio . Longè a distat b à nobis . a Eripui te b è malis . And this ablative after verbs of taking away may be turned into a dative : as , a Subtraxit b mihi cingulum . a Eripuit b illi vitam . Verbs of comparing or exceeding , may have an ablative case of the word that signifieth the measure of exceeding : as a Praefero hunc multis b gradibus , I prefer this man by many degrees . b Paulo intervallo illum a superat , He is beyond the other but a little space . A noun , or a pronoun substantive , joyned with a participle , expressed or understood , and having none other word whereof it may be governed it shall be put in the ablative case absolute : as , a Rege b veniente , hostes fugerunt , The King coming , the enemies fled . a Me b duce , vinces , I being captain , thou shalt overcome . And it may be resolved by any of these words , Dum , cùm , quando , si , quanquam , postquam : as , aRege bveniente , id est , Dum veniret rex . a Me b duce ; id est , Si ego dux fuero . Constructions of Passives . A Verb Passive will have after him an ablative case with a preposition , or sometime a dative of the doer : as , Virgiliusa legitur b a me . b Tibi fama a petatur . And the same ablative or dative shall be the nominative case to the verb , if it be made by the active : as , a Ego b lego Virgilium . b Petas a tu famam . Gerunds . GErunds and Supines will have such cases as the verbs that they come of : as , Otium a scribendi b literas . Ad aconsolandum b tibi . Auditum b Poetas . VVHen the English of the infinitive mood cometh after any of these nouns substantives , Studium , causa , tempus , gratia , otium , occasio , libido , spes , opportunitas , voluntas , modus , ratio , gestus , satietas , potestas , licentia , consuetudo , consilium , vis , norma , amor , cupido , locus . & others like , if the verb should be of the active voice , it shall be made by the gerund in di : And the same gerund in di is used also after certain adjectives : as , a Cupidus b visendi . a Cortus b eundi . a Peritus b jaculandi . a Gnarus b bellandi . WHen ye have an English of the participle of the present tense , with this signe of or with , coming after a noun adjective , it shall in Latine making be put in the gerund in do : as , a Defessus sum b ambulando . I am weary of walking . Also the English of the participle of the present tense coming without a substantive , with this sign in or by before him , shall in Latine making be put in the gerund in do : as , Caesarb dando , b sublevando , b ignoscendo , gloriam a adeptus est . b In apparando totum hunc a consumunt diem . And the same gerund in do is used either without a preposition , or with one of these prepositions , A , ab , de , è , ex , cum , in , pro : as , Deterrent a à b bibendo . a Ab b amando . Cogitat a de b edendo . Ratio bene scribendi a cum b loquendo conjuncta est . THe English of the infinitive mood , coming after a reason , and shewing the cause of a reason , may be put in the gerund in dum : as , Dies mihi ut satis sit a ad agendum , vereor ; I fear that a whole day will not be enough for me to do my business . The gerund in dum is used after one of these prepositions , Ad , ob propter , inter ante : as . a Ad b capiendum hostes . a Ob ( vel a propter ) b redimendum captivos . a Inter b coenandum . a Ante b damnandum . And when ye have this English must or ought in a reason , where it seemeth to be made by this verb oportet , it may be put in the gerund in dum , with this verb est set impersonally , and then the word , that seemeth in the English to be the Nominative case , shall be put in the Dative : as , a Abeundum est b mihi , I must go hence . Supines . THe first Supine hath his active signification , and is put after Verbs and Participles , that bet●ken moving to a place : as a Eo b cubitum . b Spectatum a admissi , risum teneatis amici ? The latter Supine hath his Passive signification , and is put after Nouns Adjectives : as , Dignus , indignus , turpis , foedus , proclivis , facilis , odiosus , mirabilis , optimus , and such like . And the same Supine may also be turned into the Infinitive mood passive ; as it may be indifferently said in Latine , a Facile b factu , or a Facile b fieri , Easie to be done . a Turpe b dictu , or a Turpe b dici , Vnhonest to be spoken . The Time. NOuns that betoken part of time be commonly put in the ablative case : as , b Nocte a vigilas . a Luce a dormis . But nouns that betoken continual term of time , without ceasing or intermission , be commonly used in the accusative case : as , b Sexaginta annos a natus . b Hyemem totam a stertis . Space of Place . NOuns that betoken space between place and place , be commonly put in the accusative case : as , b Pedem hinc nè a discesseris , Go not thou a foot from this place . A Place . NOuns Appellatives , or names of great places , be put with a preposition , if they follow a verb that signifieth In a place , To a place , From a place , or By a place : as , a Vivo in Anglia . a Veni ● per Galliam bb in Italiam . a Proficiscor b ex urbe . In a place , or At a place , if the place be a proper name of the first or second declension , and the singular number , it shall be put in the genitive case : as , a Vixit b Londini . a Studuit b Oxoniae . And these Nouns , Humi , domi , militiae , belli , be likewise used : as a Procumbit b humi bos . b Militiae a enutritus est . b Domi bb bellíque otiosi a vivitis . But if the place be of the third declension , or the plural number , it shall be put in the dative , or in the ablative case , as , a Militavit b Carthagini , or bb Carthagine . b Athenis a natus est . Likewise we say , b Ruri , or bb Rure a educatus est . To a place , if the place be a proper name , it shal be put in the accusative case without a preposition : as , a Eo b Romam . Likewise , a Confero me b domum . a Recipio me b rus . From a place , or By a place , if the place be a proper name , it shall be put in the ablative case without a preposition : as , a Discessit b Londino . a Profectus est b Londino ( vel per Londinum ) Cantabrigiam . Domus and Rus be likewise used : as , a Abiit b domo . b Rure reversus est . Impersonals . A Verb impersonal hath no nominative case before him ; and this word it or there is commonly his signe : as , Decet , It becometh . Oportet b aliquem esse . There must be some body . But if he hath neither of these words before him , then the word that seemeth to be the nominative case , shall be such case as the verb impersonal will have after him : as , b Me a oportet , I must . b Tibi a licet , Thou mayest . Interest , refert , and est for interest , require a genitive case of all casual words , except Meâ , tuâ suâ , nostrâ , vestrâ , and cujâ , the ablative cases of the pronouns possessives : as , a Interest b omnium rectè agere . b Tuâ a refert teipsum nôsse . Certain impersonals require a dative case : as , Libet , licet , patet , liquet , constat , placet , expedit , prodest , sufficit , vacat , accidit , convenit , contingit , and other like . Some will have an accusative case onely : as , Delectat , decet , juvat , oportet . Some beside the accusative case will have also a genitive , as , bb Nostri b nosmet , a poenitet . b Me bb civitatis a taedet . a Pudet b me bb negligentiae . a Miseret b me bb tui . b Me bb illorum a miserescit . Verbs impersonals of the passive voice , being formed of neuters , do govern such case as the verbs neuters which they come of : as , a Parcatur b sumptui , Let cost be spared . Because we say , a Parcamus b pecuniae , Let us spare cost . A verb impersonal of the passive voice hath like case as other verbs passives have : as , a Benefit multis b à principe . Yet many times the case is not expressed , but understood : as , Maximâ vi a certatur ; subaudi b ab illis . When a deed is signified to be done of many , the verb being a verb neuter , we may well change the verb neuter into the impersonal in tur : as , b In ignem posita est , a fletur . A Participle . PArticiples govern such cases , as the verbs that they come of : as , a Fruiturus b amicis . a Consulens b tibi . a Diligendus b ab omnibus . Here note that participles may four manner of ways be changed into nouns . The first is , when the voice of a participle is construed with another case then the verb that it cometh of : as , ● Appetens b vini , Greedy of wine . The second , when it is compounded with a preposition , which the verb that it cometh of cannot be compounded withal : as , Indoctus , innocens . The third , when it formeth all the degrees of comparison : as , Amans , amantior , amantissimus . Doctus , doctior , doctissimus . The fourth , when it hath no respect , nor express difference of time : as , Homo laudatus , A man laudable . Puer amandus , id est , amari dignus , A child worthy to be loved . And all these are properly called nouns participials . Participles when they be changed into nouns require a genitive case : as , a Fugitans b litium . a Indoctus b pilae . a Cupientissimus b tui . b Lactis a abundans . These participial voices , Perosus , exosus , pertaesus , have alwayes the active signification , when they govern an accusative case : as , a Exosus saevitiam , Hating cruelty . b Vitam a pertaesus , weary of life . The Adverb . ADverbs of quantity , time , and place , do require a genitive case : as , a Multùm b lucri . a Tunc b temporis . a Ubique b gentium . Certain adverbs will have a dative case , like as the nouns that they come of : as , Venit a obviàm b illi . Canit a similiter b huic . These datives be used adverbially , Tempori , luci , vesperi : as , Tempori surgendum . Vesperi cubandum . Luci laborandum . Certain adverbs will have an accusative case of the preposition that they come of : as , a Propiùs b urbem , a Proximè b castra . Where note that propositions , when they be set without a case , or else do form the degrees of comparison , be changed into adverbs . The Conjunction . COnjunctions Copulatives & Disjunctives , and these four , Quàm , nisi , praeterquam , an , couple like cases : as , a Xenophon & b Plato fuêre aequales . And sometimes they be put between divers cases : as : a Studui b Romae & bb Athenis . Est a liber b meus & bb fratris . a Emi fundum centum b nummis & bb pluris . Conjunctions Copulatives and Disjunctives , most commonly joyn like moods and tenses together : as , a Petrus & Joannes b precabantur & bb docebant . And sometimes divers tenses : as , Et b habetur & bb referetur tibi à me a gratia . The preposition . SOmetimes this preposition In is not exprest , but understood , and the casual word nevertheless put in the ablative case : as , Habeo te b loco parentis ; id est , a in b loco . A Verb compound sometime requireth the case of the preposition that he is compounded withall : as , a Exeo b domo . a Praetereo b te insalutatum . a Adeo b templum . The Interjection . CErtain interjections require a nominative case : as , a O festus b dies hominis . Certain a dative : as , a Hei b mihi . Certain an accusative : as , a Heu b stirpem invisam . Certain a vocative : as a Proh sancte b Jupiter . And the same Proh will have an accusative case : as , a Proh Deûm atque hominum b fidem . FINIS .

Saepe recognoscas tibi lecta , animóque revolvas ; Si dubites , nunc hos consule , nunc alios . Qui dubitat , qui saepe rogat , mea dicta tenebit ; Is , qui nil dubitat , nil capit inde boni . Disce puer quaeso , noli dediscere quicquam , Nè mens te infimulet conscia desidiae . Sísque animo attentus : quid enim docuisse juvabit , Si mea non firmo pectore verba premas ? Nil tam difficile est , quod non solertia vincat : Invigila , & parta est gloria militiae . Nam veluti flores tellus nec semina profert , Ni sit continuo victa labore manûs : Sic puer , ingenium si non exercitet , ipsum Tempus & amittit , spem simul ingenii .

Sunt quos delectat ( Studio virtutis honestae Posthabito ) nugis tempora conterere : Sunt quibus est cordi , manibus , pedibúsve sodales , Aut alio quovis sollicitare modo : Est alius , qui se dum clarum sanguine jactat , Insulso reliquis improbat ore genus . Te tam prava sequi nolim vestigia morum ; Nè tandem factis praemia digna feras . Nil dabis aut vendes , nil permutabis emésve , Ex damno alterius commoda nulla feres .
