of y e voyce the which all thynges do vnderstande and y e Rustykes in theyr demonstration and to speake more euydēt they are concordinge vnyformal in speche vulgar and latyn In suche dyctions I demaunde none other ymages But put that same that y e sayd dyction soūde and all the syllables of suche dyctions may be by good mention collocate easyly For in y e body of man I haue sounde ymages of cases so that the head is the case Iuuima The ryght hande the genityfe The lyft hande y e datyue The ryght fote the accusatyue the lyfte fote the vocatyue And the bely or stomake the ablatyue And for the synguler nōbre I set a fayre mayden naked And for the plurell the same mayde well arayed and rychely or her that I wolde be remembred of Or I wyll collocate some thynge or a man yf it be some thynge as bread I wyll collocate a mayden all naked in the place touchynge y e bread with her ryght fote And yf I wyll collocat any dyctiō I set a man constytued in offyce or dygnyte as a Bysshop I collocat a Bysshop in the place smytynge y e bare erth with his ryght fote And yf thou consyder dylygently these thynges O ryght swete reder thys mention wyll shew very goodly vnto the and thus I was accustomed for to collocat these dyctions THe .vii. conclusyon is that we may collocat dyctions by soūde of the voyce Iestures of the body of the symilytudes and of their ymages I vse it ofter for I set my frende for the dyction I knew a doctour that had alway in his mouth communication of y e law spekynge of the tyme of appellations Thys doctour of law sayde he coulde say all the lawe by herte or rote only I than wyllynge to collocat the sayd lawe I set thys dolour that alway hytteth laughters by the Iestes of the body are set y e ymages whan any Iestures be made in the dyction I make my frēde for this worde spolio the whiche dyspoyleth another And for this worde Rapio I set my frende rauysshynge somewhat by force by symylytude I set the ymages whan I fynde y e thyng at the dyction semblable letters howbeit that they are vnlyke in sygnyfycation whan I colloke well for this worde cano THe .viii. conclusyon is for the lordes Iurisconsultes a lawyers And I wyll begyne to speake of the volumes of the cyuyll lawe And whan I wyll gyue these thynges to the places I take y e colours of y e couerynges as for F. veteri a blacke skynne For y e Code a grene skynne For a volume a skynne of varyable colour For the instytutions a lytell boke And y e autentyke a Notary hauynge a great Instrument For y e autentike I set a mayden hauynge a pryuylege For the boke of feodes I set some castell For the decret autentyke I sette an olde man wrytynge in the place by cause y e auctorytees of holy fathers is in it For y t decretalles a bysshop syttynge in a chayre For clementynes a mayden named Clemence For the syxt an instrument so called in Itally wherof Ouyde wryteth Altera pars staret pars altera duceret orbet For y e conmētatours of the lawe I set thē that haue lyke name But I take the ymage of y e glose of the doctryne by my selfe of me fyrst gyuen in y e collocacions of dyctions And I haue for the Dygestes fayre Iunipera gyuynge a harp to a florentyne that he maye synge the Iester of Rome The allegations of y e decrete shalbe thus collocated for a mayden is set for y e allegation And this mayden maketh a cloth or a cedule And set for the question y e fayre Iunipera beatynge her mayde And for the consyderation I set a preste consecratynge the hoost And for Penaunce I set Iunipera shryuyng her to me of her lyght synnes THe .ix. conclusyon shalbe that I wyll shew how placꝭ ought to be gyuen to y e rubrysshes of eche lawe set two ymages for y e same as I am wont for yf I wyll remēbre me of the rubrysshe of transaction I set Thomas hauyng frogges or the gest of the body I feyn two men that wolde nat of longe tyme cease theyr contension and debate and gyuynnge eche to other tokēs of peace That is the fayre ymage of the rubryshe of the transactions But the pryncyples of the lawes where as chapyters be set in place by alphabete or sounde of voyce symylytude or gestures of the body wherof is spokē afore and playnly ynoughe THe .x. is in collocatynge argumentes For the whiche I am accustomed to set two images The fyrst is the gest of y e body as yf one sayd thus The testamēt a vayleth to none but yf it be made with .vii. witnesses Therfore I feyne the testatour to haue made this testamēt before two wytnesses and a rynge that sealeth the sayde testamente The seconde ymage is it that collogateth two other diction more princypall of the argument Take here of an example thou Iurisconsul of this phylosophres wote my meanynge Whan in the act the wyll is demaunded of any he ought to ꝓcede Here be sondry wordes but it suffyseth to collocat set the wyll fro procedynge And than we may say by and in memory y e other partyes of the argument of the collocation of two or thre dyctions The other thynges we shall recyte elegantly beleue this y t the mayster hath experymēted it ryght well THe .xi. conclusyon and thus I haue the ymages vnto the nō of a C. whiche are .x. I haue also .ix ymages of the nombre begynninge from one to y e nōbre .x. The whiche I haue dyuyded on the fyngers of men I haue gyuen to the fyrst fynger of the ryght hande for the fyr●t nōbre or for one The seconde for y e secōde or for two And so I procede to y e .iiii. fynger of the left hande And bycause that these thynges may the better be retayned in mynde I saye the fyrste fynger of the ryght hande to be of the Gelfes The seconde of the Gelbilayts The thyrde of the Iewes the forth of the rynges The v. of the eares And so of the lefte hande I call the fyrst fynger of the Gelfes for Gelfes be estemed ryche and of great estymation the seconde of the Gelbelayts And the thyrde of the Iewes For yf ye poynt to a Iewe with that fynger he wyll loke away fyersly And who that wyll knowe the cause shall fynde it euydent Therfore I call the forthe and the .v. euen so for the nombre of a M. I haue set here yf any nōbre be to me ꝓposed easyly to haue the ymage of the same The conclusyon is suche yf any shulde aske yf that in one selfe place he ought to set many thynges I answere thus yf I wolde put the thynges in places that are ꝓposed to me of other bycause that I ought forthwith to reherce the sayde thinges proposed I wyll collocat onely in the place the ymages of one thynge But yf I dyspose to set in places the thynges that I rede ī my bokes so that I maye recyte by herte in remembrynge them I doubt nat to set very often in one place the ymages of many thynges THe .xii. conclusyon shalbe very propre That is I wyl make and shewe in what maner ought to be made the ymages of nombres for all nombres that we can thynke I haue onely founde .xx. ymages And therfore I wyll descrybe them chyefly For y e nombre of .x. I take a great crosse of golde or syluer for the nombre of .xx. I take the symylytude of y e lettre of yren or of wood vnioyned to any thynge that is rounde For we shall wryte the nōbre of .xx. in y e carde or scroll in this maner or for .xxx. and y e symilytude of this fygure is coniunct in thys maner to the thynge Therfore I shall fynde some examples whiche I wyll set wherby the reder maye vnderstande in the more easyly although it be of a rude wyt or conclusiō yf I wyl say ii.q.iii I must haue a g●lfe in the place holdynge in his ryght hande a crosse and a Iewe that with all his strengths seketh to take it fro hym by vyolēce of that made fro the ryghthande Yf I wyll say .ii. Corinthios .iiii. I wyll feyn the Gebelyn in the place that shall holde a curtayne in his ryghthande shewynge it to a fayre mayden whiche shall receyue it in her ryghthande for the fourth fynger I wyll set a mayden maryed And so I collocat and set for the. iiii and .ix. nombre yf I wyll remembre me of penaunce in the .iiii. dystynction I wyll colloke an olde preeste and nat yonge to whom Iunipera shal shryue her fautes And she shall do a woūderous thynge for she shall absolue the preste holdynge her ryght hande ouer his head and so of the other And bycause that this be nat that processe let vs here make an ende of the art of memory artificyall and preceptes of whome all thynges is cōprised simplycytyuely at y e lest so explycityuely to leaue any thynge that I promysed to wrytte in this place to Iudge an vtyle thynge herī in place to set in y e .v. place a hande of gold In the .x. a crosse gylted in y e .xv. a hāde of syluer And in the .xx. y e ymage of y e same nombre And this my doctryne teacheth for to do in all other thynges Thus endeth the art of memory other wyse called the Phenix Translated out of french in to englyshe by Roberte Coplande And Impryted at London in Fletestrete at the sygne of the George by Wyliyam Myddylton
