friends tigether knit and quiet in one Of my selfe I doe mine office not doubting but that I teach you that which serueth to the continuing benefit and commoditie of euery one in generall being ready willingly to doe what your will is This profitable Oration and no lesse necessary saying of the King greatly pleased all the assembly and all the crew of the Souldiers cried aloud desiring that that which the King had so wisely spoken might bee as diligently done So there was sent into the campe of the Verbes for Ambassadours certaine of the wisest and chiefest of the Nounes who hauing first made without much difficulty a truce finally came in such agrement with the king of Verbes and his greatest Lords that three personages should bee chosen which should bee exactly seene and haue vnderstanding in all customes rules and termes of Grammar and that to their award and arbitrament by solemne oath being sworne thereto both parties should hold them and their rest without any contradiction Great was the difficultie and much more was the disputation to whom the charge should bee giuen to make the treatie of the peace Many procured meanes to haue the same office on them and to diuers was the voice giuen and other againe tooke it from them In the end it was agreed by Priscian Linacrus and Despauterius that Lilius should haue the charge and authority to knit and make sure the Articles of the peace who being sent for came to the campe and hauing there heard the reasons on both sides and diligently waighed all the businesse In the end pronounced this sentence To the Kings of Grammar to their Gentlemen to their Citizens and all Students good happe and commoditie bee that which now is discussed Whereas wee were deputed to take away the contentious disorders to put apart all the slanders wrongs and domages that heretofore haue come vpon the Kings of Grammar and their souldiers all which wee reuoke take away and blot out which if they may not bee forgotten at the least our decree is that they bee neuer hereafter more spoken of Item That henceforth when a solemne Oration commeth to bee made that both the Kings of Grammar in good agreement with their subiects come together as Verbe Noune Pronoune Participle Aduerbe Coniunction Preposition Interiection Item Wee appoint that in common and familiar speach the Noune and the Verbe only doe beare the burden taking for their helpe whether of them they will but to leaue the other by to the end that being put too often in worke they bee not molested Item Wee ordaine that the Noune serue to the Verbe and when hee goeth formest as touching the case ought also to be gouerned of the Verbe but in speach that the Noune bee before the Verbe and the same being after ought therefore to gouerne the Noune touching his Case but concerning his Persons and Numbers the Verbe ought to giue● place to the Noune Pronoune or Participle Item Wee appoint the Participle beare remembrance of the Nounes and the Verbe and haue the gouernment of the Verbe before him first and that of the Noune after him last Furthermore we permit the Verbe where neede is to make an O●ation himselfe alone in the first and second Person and also in the third Person in certaine Verbes of action always notwithsta●ding vnder the authoritie of the Noune but not expressing the sa●e This sentence was giuen and published in the presence of both parties and it pleased very well all the assembly and hath since euer beene obserued of all the inhabitants of Grammar Also the Vniuersities haue approued it The Vniuersitie of Paris obseruing the rest craued then for her Students that they might pronounce Nounes and Verbes at their pleasure and that without any regard of the quantitie of sillables But because betweene the Relatiues and Antecedents betweene the Adiectiues and the Substantiues betweene the word gouerning and gouerned betweene the determined and also betweene perfect speach and imperfect was an old quarrell striuing whether of them were chiese and greatest It was also concluded to ioyne them in vnitie that the Relatiue of substance identitiall should agree in Gender Number and Person with his Antecedent Item That the Adiectiue should obey to his Substantiue in Case Gender and Number and that the gouerned word should follow the gouerning and that the Relatiue of the accident should onely represent the Antecedent in such accident or propertie in what manner the referred and the referrent agreed by rule of diuersitie with the Anticedent and that the speach imperfect should depend vpon the perfect and the specifying of the specified and betweene two Adiectiues two substantiues two Verbes of the Infinitiue mode two perfect speaches and betweene two imperfects to bee no bond of seruice Furthermore the said William Lillie would that betweene sayings and doings might bee made a peace and agreement but the aduice was that if that discord were once taken away the Barbor-surgeons and Tauerne-keepers would haue little to doe wherefore they left that thing euen as they found it All students of Ignorance with these bussards of Barbary Ignoramus and Dulman his Clearke were by commandement exiled for euer out of all Grammar and all false Latine was euer after confiscated to their vse The Barbarous were chased bayond the Alpes into their Cities and Borrough-townes But the Ignorant through the fauour of some Princes are bred not onely in and thorow Italie but also in Rome the mother of good letters and there whether shee will or no doe they continue among whom there are some being purueied of fatt Prebends are obserued so dull-headed and doltish that if yee aske them Amo quae pars They will say parlate Italiano chio vt intenda so much in assery they surpasse in ignorance the great Mules whereon they are so highly got vp Moreouer there was giuen irrecouerable power to the deputed by the strong and firme counsell of them all to search out to punnish and exile as monsters of nature all euill-fauoured corrupters of Grammar as halfe Latins halfe Greekes and they to doe all things that they thought to bee profitable to the honor and aduancement of all good letters And to the end that they might the easier and more lightly execute their charge there were commanded forthwith certain Rules to be drawne vp which were accordingly done and now there is peace on both sides euery one knowes his place as you may more at large perceiue by the Orders established where I leaue you FAREWELL A Lamentation vpon the Con●lagration of the Muses Habitation Or a
