meer substitute besides that sic and such other Adverbs as have no representative power either of Noune or Verb dare not aspire to that eminence 2. The conformed Adverbs of this use are numberless in regard of the nearness of this notes relation to the word of Being But the governance is ever on the same account as Pridie Calendarum i. e. Priori die Calendarum being there genitively governed as the latter of two Substantives Or if I say Pridie calendas It will be the same as Dics prae or antc calendas i. e. the day just or directly before And therefore is Calendas governed accusatively the straightness of the motion in the space between its extreams being so noted by the proposition 2. The second sort of Adverbs are alwaies expressed along with the Qualities they so explicate as Valde bonus minis longus egregie impudens c. and therefore do they not govern at all the command of the Officer being so excluded by the presence of the Lord. 3. The other speciously governing Adverbs are generally a sort of dethroned Adjectives so officiating in order to their like manifestation of the accidents of the Verb as while Adjectives they did of the Substantive And therefore do we say Similis cantus but similiter c. nit and doth our Author note that canit similiter buic quia saith he Dativum adm●tunt nominum unde deducta sunt And so of the rest according to the respective casual governance of the Noune or Verb whence they proceed Their pretended governance of Verbs our Author mentions with so many Interdum's as evinceth its subjection to the reason of the delivery neither can I understand his conjunction of similaty and dissimilary Cases Moods and Tenses otherwise The Proposition I confess our Author himself somewhat seemeth to promote to a governing state while he teacheth that Praepositioni accidit casuum regimen but he adds S●ve constructio As it he had said Earum regimen si vis constructionem 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. e. orationis structuram appelles That being the end of their position before other parts as hath been fore-shewed Part 2. c. 2. And that I may not seem either to expound our Author or contradict such as positively affirm the said governance altogether on my score I find tacitly ratified by my fore-quoted Countrey-man Joannes Davidas Rhaesus known in England by name of Doctor Davies and in Italy by a Tract he there writ in the Florentine Idiome de structu●á Latini Sermonis who in his Institutiones Cym●aecae or Latine Welsh-Grammer where he mentions these governances hath no such word as Regunt but nectuntur u●ctunt serviunt respectively discoursing of the Adverb Conjunction and Preposition The same I also find in Dr. Taylor 's viz. The first joyned the second joyning and the third serving As for the Interjection To ascribe it a regular governance were to confound it with a Parenthesis And therefore doth our Author note it ad Placitum O fostus dies O fortuna●os nimium O formose puer c It rather governing its concomitant Mute and so from an imperfect scarce worded voice becoming the most absolute ornament of Speech As those who have received their education from the sedulous Lectures of Academick Professors can amply witness And recommend as worthy of ingenious consideration and publick Were not these gestures in most Countries singular and therefore best attainable by observation of their attractive effect on the attention of respective Auditories As I remember once merrily hinted at by a no less grave than ingenions Preachet in Leyden who to satisfie the importunity of a young Divine of his acquaintance having lent him an elaborate and in that very place often approved Sermon to be delivered by this Candidate In order to his admission into the Pastorship but not taking had no shift to disabuse my new Levite other than by perswading him That the fault lay in his own forgetfulness that he had not borrowed his Bow as well as his Fidle Both indeed proceeding from the same root As may be instanced by a Bowler Whom we shall ever see shouldering puffing stamping or drawing back as the condition of his cast seems devious But if he finds it equally running its right measured ground Then he either directly followeth or stedfastly look's on as in his posture of confidence That these Gestures though accompany'd with or proceeding from never so strong incinations of an unfascinating mind can either take from add to or otherwise direct the motion once passed the Gamesters hand I shall not suspect Yet having often laugh'd at them in others and endeavour'd to forbear them my self but with more i●ksomness than success I cannot but think them natural Especially while I observe the same comparably to hold with the Orator And that according to the perfection of his language Which as it doth least multiply its attendants with these notes or that I may not causlesly vary from our Authors language parts of Speech so requireth is fewer outward signs for its ornament For example The Latine Adverbial note Olim signifying a rassed as well as future time The note cum used both fo an Adverb Conjunction and Preposition As it serves either to declare the signification of a Verb to joyn sentences or else as a preposited badge to the Ablative case of a word of Being Whereas in vulgar languages its sense is expressed by notes severally differing according to the said respective imployments And hence probably comes it that the Spanish Reel or French Shrugge be not yet fashonable among the Italians whose discourses they render no less magnetick by the interjection of certain nodds stops and change of countenance which the word Blush being too young I want expression for The Flavour is still the Flavour Other than as we say of the Flavour of Wine that they are becoming the gravity of an Italian Whether there be any Books writ on this subject I am not certain But observe that before the use of Bandstrings this gravity hath been emulated by the English The noble Chaucer as he encomiat's the deportment of the Arabian Envoy in the Tartarian presence thus singing Accordant to his woords was his chere The Squier Tale As teacheth art of speech hem that it lere CHAP. 2. Of the Pronoune with the Arts from it proceeding I Conclude with the note of the Nodd the Pronoune which our Author calls A part of Speech much like to and indeed is the same with a Noune although it differeth from his Noune Adjective in that it denotes a personal Being and from his Substantive first in respect that this personality is neither proper nor appellative and secondly in that it imply's number I THOU and H E. Under which be comprehended the other twelve and to whom is added the officious Relative as the Gentleman Ipocrifat in Herauldrie Wherefore our Author adds that it is used in shewing or rehearsing viz. The Pronoune in shewing as
