Tense and signification Q. What taketh a participle both of a Nowne of a verbe R. Number and figure Q. How many sorts or kinds of Participles haue yee R. There be foure kindes of Participles That is to saye one of the Present tense Preter tense First Future tense in rus Latter Future tense in dus Q. Howe knowe yee a Participle of the Present tense R. A Participle of the Present tense hath his english ending in ing and his latine in ans or ens Q. Whereof is it formed R. Of the first person singular of the Preterimperfect tense of the Indicatiue mode Q. Howe R. By changing the last sillable into ns as Amabam chaÌ„ge bam into ns and it is amans auxiliabar chaunge bar into ns and it is auxilians Q.

By putting s to the latter supine as of Doceo the latter supine is Doctu to the which I put s and so is made the Participle Doctus except Moâ—uâ—us Q. How many kindes of verbes may haue a Participle of the preter tense R. Three properly that is a verbe Passiue Deponent Common Yet some verbes Newters haue also a Participle of the Preter tense Q. What if these verbes lacke Supines R. Then there can be no Participle of the preter tense nor of the future in rus and the Passiue whose Actiue lacketh Supines can haue no preterperfect tense Q. Why so R. Because the Preterperfect tense of the Passiue is made of the Participle of the Preter tense and the verbe Sum es fui Q. Howe know yee a Participle of the future in dus R. A Participle of the Future in dus is englished like the Infinitiue mode Passiue and in latine endeth in dus Q. Whereof is a Participle of the future in dus formed R. Of the genitiue case of the Participle of the preseÌ„t tense Q. Howe R. By chaunging the last sillable which is tis into dus as amo the Participle of the present tense is amans y e genitiue case amantis change tis into dus so is made amaÌ„dus Q. Howe many kindes of verbes may haue a Participle in dus R. Two properly that is a verbe Passiue Common But some verbes Newters haue also a Participle in dus As also the verbe Deponent hath if hee gouerne an Accusatiue case after him Q. What accidentes hath a Participle R. Eight first the two generall accidentes Forme and Figure Secondly Number Thirdly Gender Case and Declenson which hee boroweth of a nowne Tense and Signification which hee borroweth of a verbe Q. What Participles be there of the Primitiue forme R. None for all Participles be deriued of some verbe Q. What Participles be deriued of a verbe Actiue R. Two one of the Present tense Future in rus Q.

Why doctus is a Participle formeth coÌ„parisoÌ„ as doctus doctior doctissimus ergo a Participle formeth coÌ„parison R. When any Participle formeth comparison hee is not counted a Participle but a nowne Q. Howe manye waies may Participles bee turned into nownes R. Foure waies namely when they 1 Are compounded with such wordes as the verbes which they come of cannot be compounded withall when they 2 Gouerne an other case then the verbe doth whereof they be deriued 3 Forme the degrees of comparison 4 Haue no manifest difference nor respect of time Q. What doe yee call the Participles when they be changed into Nownes R. I call them Participiall nownes Q. How many sortes of Participiall nownes be there R. Two Some properly so called which be participles indeed but be chauÌ„ged into nownes after one of the manners aforesaid as Armatus doctus sanctus acutus argutus sapiens monitus and such like Vnproperly so called which haue the shew of Participles but indeede are nownes because they be deriued of no verbe suche are togatus tunicatus laruatus personatus annulatus barbatus loricatus and such like Of an Aduerbe Q. Which is the first of your 4. partes of speech vndeclined R. An Aduerbe Q. What is to be considered in an Aduerbe R. Three things the Definition That is to tell
Concord R. When an Adiectiue commeth betwene two Substātiues of diuers Genders it may indifferently accord with either of them Q. Which is the third exception for the second concord R. This the Substantiue is not alwayes a casuall woord but sometime a whole sentence sometime a peece of a sentence sometime an Infinitiue mode and sometime an Aduerb with a Genitiue case Q. What case gender and number shall the Adiectiue be when any of these is his Substantiue R. He shalbe such case as they are accounted to be and if it haue respect but to one thing as one sentence or one peece of a sentence it shalbe the Newter Gender and singular number but if it haue respect to moe thinges then one or to more sentences or more peeces of sentences it shall be the Newter Gender and plurall Number Q. How wil ye find out the substantiue to the Adiectiue R. Put the question who or what to the English of y e Adiectiue and the worde or wordes in the sentence that answere that question is the Substantiue to it Q. How many things may be substantiue to the adiectiue R. Whatsoeuer is nominatiue case to the verbe the same may be Substantiue to the Adiectiue The third Concord Q. Which is the rule of the third Concord R. This the Relatiue agreeth with his Antecedent in three thinges that is Gender Number Person Q. Is the Relatiue alwayes the same gender number and person that his Antecedent is R. Not alwayes for I haue here the same three exceptions that I haue in the first Concord and in the second Q. Which is the first exception for the third Concord R. When I haue moe Antecedentes then one of the singular number comming together with a Coniunction copulatiue betweene them then the Relatiue shall bee put in the plurall number and agree in gender with the Antecedent of the most worthy gender Q. What meane yee by Antecedent R. The Antecedent is any such worde as goeth in the sentence before the relatiue and is rehearsed againe by the Relatiue Q. Which is the second exception for the thirde concord R. When a Relatiue commeth betweene two substantiues or antecedentes of diuers genders it may indifferently accord with eyther of them yea though they bee both of diuers numbers also Q. Which is the third exception for the third concord R. The Antecedent is not alwayes a casuall worde but sometime a whole sentence sometime a peece of a sentence sometime an Infinitiue mode sometime an Aduerbe with a genitiue case Q. What gender number and person shall the Relatiue be when he hath any of these Antecedentes R. If he haue respect but to one thing one sentence or one peece of a sentence he shalbe the Newter gender singular number and third person but if he haue respect to moe then one hee shalbe the Newter gender plurall number and third person Q. How many things may be antecedent to the Relatiue R. Whatsoeuer is nominatiue case to the verbe the same may be Antecedent to the Relatiue Q. How will yee finde out the Antecedent to the Relatiue R. Put the question who or what to the English of the Relatiue and the worde or wordes in the sentence that aunsweareth the question is the Antecedent Q. How shall I order the case of the Relatiue R. The Relatiue for his case alwayes supplieth the place of a Substantiue and must be aunsweared to seuerally as a Substantiue Q. Haue yee none other rules for the case of the Relatiue then yee haue for substantiues R. Yes I haue two speciall rules for the case of the Relatiue but they are all one in effect with the rules of Substantiues Q. Which is the first rule for the case of the Relatiue R. When there commeth no nominatiue case betweene the Relatiue the verbe the Relatiue shalbe the nominatiue case to the verbe Q. Which is the second rule for the case of the Relatiue R. When there commeth a nominatiue case betweene the Relatiue and the verbe then the Relatiue shall not be the nominatiue case to the verbe but shall be gouerned of the verbe or of some other worde in the same sentence Q. What meane you by shalbe gouerned R. To be gouerned is to be such case as the verbe or any other part of speech will haue after him Q. Then if the Relatiue be not nominatiue case to y e verb must he not follow the verbe or some other worde in the same sentence whereof he is gouerned R. No forsooth he must indeed be such case as the verbe or some other word in the same sentence will haue after him but the Relatiues qui qualis and quantus be set before the verbe and not after Q. Howe so R. For it is the nature of these Relatiues to stand before y t woorde whereof they be gouerned Q. Doth no words els stand before the words which they be gouerned of but the Relatiue R. Yes for the substantiue which is ioyned with y e Relatiue doth follow the nature of the Relatiue Q. Shew me an example of this R. If the Relatiue be ioyned in like case gender and number with a Substantiue if there come also an other Substantiue both the Relatiue and the Substantiue with which he is ioyned shall be the genitiue case and yet shal stand before the other Substantiue as Scaeuola nobis exposuit Lelii sermonem de amicitia cuius disputationis sententias memoriae mandaui Q. Shew me how standeth this with your rule R. Here I haue Cuius disputationis sententias wheras the Relatiue cuius agreeth in Case Gender and Number with disputation is both which in order are placed before the other Substantiue sententias yet are the genitiue case because the latter of two substantiues comming together must be the genitiue case Q. But if the Relatiue be not Nominatiue case to y e verbe what case must he then be R. If he be not Nominatiue case to the verb then looke what case any nowne substantiue shoulde be being gouerned of the same worde the same case must the Relatiue be and by the same rule Q. How wil ye know of what word y t Relatiue is gouerned R. By putting for the Relatiue the same case of hic haec hoc so construing the sentence For then y t case of hic haec hoc which is put for the Relatiue will in construing follow the word that the Relatiue is gouerned of Q. In what order are the rules for the construction of euery part of speech to be considered R. In such order as y e parts of speech be rehearsed in myne Accidence The rules for the construction of 1 Nownes Substantiues 2 Nownes Adiectiues 3 Pronownes 4 Verbes Personalles 5 Gerundes 6 Supines 7 Verbes Impersonalles 8 Participles and so foorth in such order as the partes of speech be rehearsed in myne Accidence Q. What order keepe ye in the placing of these rules R. The rules for euery part of speech stand according
to the order of the cases 1 First the rules for y e nominatiue case if the part of speech gouerne a nominatiue case after him 2 Secondly the rules for the Genitiue case 3 Thirdly the rules for the Datiue case 6 Fourthly the rules for the Accusatiue case 7 Lastly the rules for the Ablatiue case Q. Why leaue ye out the rules for the vocatiue case R. For the vocatiue case is not gouerned of any other parte of speech except an Interiection Q. Then how knowe yee when to put a worde in the Vocatiue case R. This one rule is sufficient for it Whensoeuer I call or speake to anye thing or person it is the Vocatiue case Q. Howe will yee finde out the rule for any worde in a sentence to know why he is put in the nominatiue Genitiue Datiue Accusatiue or Ablatiue case R. First I must looke what part of speech the word is which I haue to seeke out secondly of what worde he is gouerned thirdly what parte of speech that worde is whereof he is gouerned lastly I must looke what case my worde is so shall I turne to the rules that be for that part of speech for that case Q. Shew me it by example R. If my word be a substantiue the genitiue case and gouerned of a nowne Adiectiue then I turne to the rules y t I haue for Adiectiues that gouerne a genitiue case If my worde be a Substantiue the genitiue case gouerned of a verbe then I turne to my rules for verbes which gouerne a genitiue case Then I consider of what signification y e worde is whereof he is gouerned and so I take the rule that agreeth to that signification Q. But how wil yee knowe of what woorde the same case which you seeke is gouerned R. That must bee learned by diligent marking howe the sentence is construed Q. Why so R. Because euery case is gouerned of that worde which goeth next before him in the naturall construing of a sentence Q. What meane yee by construing R. Construing is the right placing of euery word y t is written in a sentence in the naturall order of speech giuing to euery word his proper signification in english Q. Shew me howe R. Virtutis comes est inuidia This sentence is construed thus Inuidia enuy est is comes y t companion virtutis of vertue Q. If ye haue a sentence giuen to be construed what order wil ye keep in englishing and placing of euery word R. Diuers men teach diuersly but this way is playne and not vnprofitable If there be any vocatiue case in the sentence I take that first Secondly the Nominatiue case or that which is put in steede of the nominatiue case and to him I adioyne any woord that hangeth vppon him Then take I the verbe Personall Then the Aduerb After this the cases in their owne order The Accusatiue case next after the verbe and that whiche hangeth vppon him then the Genitiue and so the Datiue and last the Ablatiue Q. What if there be not al these kinds of words in y t sētēce R. Then take so many of them as be in it and in this order and alwayes take heede that ye put that case next after the verb which y t verb doth properly gouerne after him thē the other cases in order The Accusatiue case goeth before the Infinitiue Mode the Infinitiue comes after any other mode The Adiectiue and the Substantiue must be construed togither except one of thē doth passe ouer his signification into some other worde Q. May this order be alwayes kept R. No forsooth for it is broken many times by the cases of Relatiues Interrogatiues Infinitiues Genitiues of partition and by some Coniunctions c. Q. If you haue an english giuen to be made in latine what must you doe R. First I must looke out the principall verbe in the sentence Q. Howe will ye finde out the principall verbe R. It is alwayes the first verbe except the first verbe bee the Infinitiue mode or haue before it a Relatiue or a Coniunction Q. What will yee doe when yee haue founde out the principall verbe R. Then I must seeke out his Nominatiue case Q. What seeke yee out after the Nominatiue case R. After I haue made the verbe and his Nominatiue case I consider what part of speech euery worde in the sentence is beside these and then I ioyne them in suche order as I doe in construing of a sentence and so make euery one of them into latine For the Genders of Nownes Q. Howe will yee finde out the genders of a Nowne R. I haue certayne rules in Latine verses for the Genders of nownes Q. Howe will yee seeke out the Gender of a Nowne by these rules R. First I must looke whether it bee a proper name or a common Q. What if it be a proper name R. Then I haue two generall rules for his gender Q. Which be they R. The first is this Propria quae maribus tribuuntur mascula dicas c. The second is this Propria faemineum referentia nomina sexum Faemineo geneti tribuuntur Q. Howe will yee knowe whether it bee a proper name or no R. If it be a proper name it is one of these ten As proper names of Gods Men. Fluddes Moneths Windes And these be all the masculine gender Goddesses Women Cities Countreis Ilandes these bee all y e feminine gender for the most part Q. Be not all those latter fyue the feminine gender aswell as all the first fiue be the masculine R. No for certaine names of Cities be excepted Q. What gender be those that be excepted R. These two of the masculine gender Sulmo Agragas these of the newter gender Argos Tibur Preneste This one Anxur which is sometime the masculine sometime the newter Q. What if your nowne be no proper name R. Then I must looke whether it be not the name of a tree Q. What if it be the name of a tree R. Then I haue this rule for him Appellatiua arborum erunt muliebria vt alnus Q. What gender must your nowne be by this rule R. The feminine Q. Be all names of trees the feminine gender R. No. Q. Then howe will ye knowe the gender of such Nownes as do not agree with the rule R. All suche nownes as doe not agree with the rule eyther be rehearsed by name strayght after the rule or els there is some speciall rule of exeception set downe for them Q. What nownes haue ye excepted from this rule R. Two of the Masculine gender Pinus and Oleaster fiue of the Newter gender Siler Suber Thus Robur and Acer Q. What if your nowne be neyther proper name nor name of a tree R. Then he is a nowne common or a nowne appellatiue Q. Howe will yee seeke out the gender of a nowe appellatiue R. First I must looke in his genetiue case whether it doth encrease or no. Q. Why so R.
many thousandes of woordes But all woordes that bee vsed in speeche are called by one of these eight tearmes in Grammar Q. Which be those eight tearmes which yee call the eight partes of speeche R These 1 Nowne 2 Pronowne 3 Verbe 4 Participle 5 Aduerbe 6 Coniunction 7 Preposition 8 Interiection Q. Can there bee no fewer then eight termes which doe conteine in them all sorts of wordes R. Yes it were more easie to say there are but 4. a Nowne a Verbe an Aduerbe a Coniunction Q. How so R. Because a Pronowne a Participle may very wel be referred to a Nowne a Preposition and Interiection may well be referred to an Aduerbe Q. What is y e first differēce amōgst these 8. partes of speech R. Forsooth y t first 4. be declined y t latter 4. be vndeclined Q. What meane yee by declined and vndeclined R. That worde in Grammar is saide to be declined which maye bee chaunged in the last letter or sillable into other letters or syllables And that whiche cannot bee so chaunged is sayde to be vndeclined Q. Be those first foure declined all in one manner R. No. For some of them bee declined with cases and some with moodes and tenses Q. How many partes of speech be declined with cases R. These three Nowne Pronowne and Participle And a verbe onely is declined with modes and tenses Q. What were the first difference among woordes if there were but foure partes of speech R. This. Some be wordes that haue number in them as a Nowne a verbe Some be wordes y t haue no nūber in them as an aduerbe and a coniunction Q. What is to be considered in euery part of speech R. These 3. things 1 what it is which is called the definitiō 2 what parts it hath which is called the diuision 3 what thinges chance vnto it which is called the accidēts Q. Then first what is a nowne R. Any worde that betokeneth the name of any thing is a nowne Or thus The name of any thing that may bee seene felt hearde or vnderstanded is a nowne As a booke Q. Is thy booke a nowne R. The thing it selfe which is called a booke is not a nown but this woorde booke which is the name of the thing is a nowne for a nowne signifieth nothing els but a name Q. Why doest thou put this difference betwixte the thing and the name of the thing R. For that in Grammar which teacheth the true order of speech wee haue to consider nothing but the very woordes that be spoken so that thinges which bee signified by these wordes perteyne nothing to Grammar and therefore no kinde of thing is a nowne but the worde which is the name of any thing that is a nowne Q. Howe many sortes of nownes haue ye R. Two some be called Substantiues and Adiectiues Q. Howe knowe you a nowne substantiue R. A nowne substantiue is a name that standeth by himselfe Q. Howe can a nowne whiche is but a woorde stande by it selfe Q. I knowe that no worde can properly stande by it selfe but is a borrowed speeche and I meane an other thing by it Q. What meane ye by standeth by him selfe R. That is to say requireth not an other word to be ioyned with him Q. Tell me this more plainely R. A nowne substantiue is a perfect worde and a name so certaine that I knowe certainely what thing it nameth although there be no other worde ioyned with it So that when I say it standeth by it selfe I meane I can vnderstande by it selfe the thinge that it signifieth although there be no other worde ioyned vnto it Q. Haue ye any speciall marke whereby to know a nowne substantiue R. Yea forsoth Any woorde that may aptly and properly haue before his Englishe this signe a. or the. is a nowne substantiue as A citie the citie Q. Howe many sortes of nownes substantiues haue ye R. Two for some be called Proper and Common or appellatiue Q. What call yee a nowne proper R. A proper name is a nowne which is proper to the thing that it betokeneth that is to say whiche doeth signifie some one speciall thing Q. Howe many sortes of proper names haue yee R. Tenne as proper names of 1 Godds 2 Men. 3 Floodes 4 Monethes 5 Windes 6 Goddesses 7 Women 8 Cities 9 Countreys 10 Ilandes Q. What call yee a common name or a nowne appellatiue R. A nown common is that whose signification is common to moe that is which betokeneth all things of that force Q. Shewe mee examples of a proper name and of a common name R. Edouardus is a proper name and signifieth but one man so called But A man is a common name and signifieth all men So Londinum the Citie of London is a proper name because it is the name but of one Citie so called But vrbs a Citie is a common name because euery Citie is called a Citie but euery citie is not called London Q. Nowe howe knowe ye a nowne Adiectiue R. A nowne adiectiue is a name that cannot stande by him selfe Q. What meane ye by that R. That is to say requireth an other woorde to be ioyned with him Q. Tell me this more playnely R. A nowne adiectiue is the name of a thing but so doubtfull and vncertaine as I knowe not certainely what thing it nameth except there be some other worde ioyned vnto it so that when I say it can not stande by it selfe I meane that I cānot perfectly vnderstand what thing it belongeth vnto excepte there bee a substantiue ioyned vnto it as Good Q. Why do ye not knowe that good is the name of a thing R. Yes I know that when you say good you meane something but I knowe not what thing ye call good except ye put some other worde vnto it as a good horse a good boy Q. Haue ye any speciall marke whereby to know a nowne adiectiue R. Yea forsooth In English any name with which I may aptly ioyne this worde thing is a nowne adiectiue as a good thing Q. This is inough for the diuision of a nowne Now what meane ye by the Accidents R. The Accidents be certayne properties falling or belonging to all the partes of speeche generally or to euery seuerall part of speeche particularly and thereof my booke is called an Accidence or the Accidents Q. Why so R. For that is as I take it the booke that teacheth all the accidents that is to say all such thinges as fall or belong to all the partes of speeche Q. Howe many sortes of accidents haue yee R. Two sortes for some bee generall and belong to all partes of speeche as forme and figure particular whereof some belong to 1 the foure partes of speech that be declined as number 2 Three of those y t bee declined as case gender declenson to al nownes pronownes and participles 3 Euery seuerall part of speeche as all the rest Q. Howe many accidents belong to a nowne
What it is Diuision That is to tell What partes or sortes it hath Accidents That is to tell What things chance or fal vnto it Q. What is an Aduerbe R. An Aduerbe is a part of speech ioyned both to verbes and nownes to make playner or fuller their signification Q. How many sortes of Aduerbes haue yee R. Aduerbes are not deuided into partes but in respect of their accidentes Q. Then what accidents hath an Aduerbe R. The two generall accidentes Forme Figure And two speciall accidentes Signification and Comparison Q. Of what forme be Aduerbes R. Some Primitiue as heri cras Deriuatiue as docte pulchre Q. Of what figure be Aduerbes R. Some Simple as prudenter Compound as imprudenter Q. Of what signification be Aduerbes R. Aduerbes be of diuers significations Tyme Place Some be of Number Order Asking or doubting Calling Affirming Denying Swearing Some be of Exhorting Flattering Forbidding Wishing Gathering together Parting Some be of Choosing A thing not finished Showing Doubting Answearing Some be of Chaunce Likenes Quality Quantity Comparison Q. How many sortes of comparisons be in an Aduerbe R. Three the comparison which is called 1 Perfect which hath al the degrees of comparison formeth them all out of himselfe by a certeyne rule 2 Anomala which formeth not the degrees of comparison out of him selfe 3 Defectiua which lacketh some degrees of comparison Q. What rules haue yee to forme the perfect comparison R. The positiue of such aduerbs as make a perfect comparison end in e or in er The comparatiue is like the newter gender of the comparatiue in nownes adiectiues and the superlatiue is made of the superlatiue of nownes adiectiues by chaunging the termination of the masculine gender into um or e as docte doctius doctissime fortiter fortius fortissime Q. What aduerbes make comparison without rule R. Such as bee formed of nownes that make comparison without rule as bene melius optime and prepositions that are chaunged into aduerbes Q. What aduerbes make the defectiue comparison R. Such as be formed of adiectiues that make the defectiue comparison and some speciall aduerbs which must be learned by reading Of a Coniunction Q. Which is the seconde of the foure partes of speech vndeclined R. A Coniunction Q. What call you a Coniunction R. A Coniunction is a part of speech that ioyneth wordes and sentences together Q. Howe many things chaunce to a Coniunction R. 4. That is to say forme figure power and order Q. Of what forme be Coniunctions R. All Coniunctions be primitiues Q. Of what figure be Coniunctions R. Some be Simple as Nam Compound as Namque Q. What meane yee by power R. I meane signification Q. Howe many seuerall significations be in a coniunction R. 13. For some bee Copulatiues Disiunctiues Discretiues Cawsalls Interrogatiues Condicionalls Illatiues Exceptiues Aduersitiues Redditiues Diminitiues Electiues Expletiues Q. What meane yee by order R. The ordering of coniunctions in sentences for some bee 1 set before as nam quare ac ast atque et aut vel nec neque si quin quatenus sin seu siue ni nisi set after as quidē quoque autem vero enim 2 que ve ne called encliticae coniunctiones quod accentum in praecedentem syllabam inclinent 3 set indifferently sometime before sometime after such are almost all other coniunctions Of a Praeposition Q. Which is the thirde of your parts of speech vndeclined R. A preposition Q. Howe knowe you a preposition R. A preposition is a part of speech most commonly set before other partes of speech either in apposition or in composition for he is called a preposition a praeponendo that is to say of setting before Q. Is a preposition then alwaies set before the other parts of speech with whome he is ioyned R. Not alwayes for these foure Cum. Tenus Versus Vsque may be set after the case whiche they gouerne sometime penes also as Quibuscum Pube tenus Angliam versus Ad occidētē vsque me penes Q. Howe many thinges chance to a preposition R. This one thing especially gouerning of cases Q. What cases do prepositions gouerne R. Some gouerne an Accusatiue case onely an Ablatiue case onely both an Accusatiue and an Ablatiue an Ablatiue and a Genitiue Q. How many prepositions gouerne an Accusatiue case R. These 32.

Which gouerne an Ablatiue case and a Genetiue R. Tenus gouerneth an Ablatiue case both in y e singular number and in the plurall He gouerneth a Genitiue case also but that must euer be the plurall number Crure tenus Cruribus tenus Crurum tenus but not Cruris tenus Q. Doe all prepositions gouerne cases R. No forsooth these 6. Am. Di. Dis. Re. Se. Con. are neuer foūd aloue w t cases but alwaies cōpounded w t other wordes Q. Be your other prepositions neuer found alone without cases R. Yes forsooth but then they be Aduerbes Q. Howe so R. For prepositions when they bee set alone without their case or when they forme comparison bee not prepositions but are changed into Aduerbes Of an Interiection Q. What is the last part of speech R. An Interiection Q. Howe knowe ye an Interiection R. An Interiection is a part of speeche which betokeneth some sodayne affection or passion of the minde in an vnperfect voyce Q. Howe many thinges chance to an Interiection R. This one namely signification Q. What significations hath an Interiection R. So manie as there bee motions or passions of the minde Q. Tell me the seuerall significations of an Interiection R. Some be of mirth sorrowe dread marueyling disdayning shunning praysing scorning exclamation cursing laughing calling silence Of
Construction Q. Which is the third part of Grammar R. Syntaxis Q. What meane ye by this R. It is a Greeke worde compounded of Syn and Taxis in Latin it is interpreted Constructio or Coordinatio in Englishe Construction or framing together Q. What is Construction R. It is the due ordering or framing together of woordes in speeche Q. Howe many sortes or maners of Construction haue ye R. Two that is to say the perfect naturall or vsuall construction figured or fined Construction Q. Which of these partes do ye learne in your Accidence R. The first part which I called the perfect or natural construction Q. Howe many thinges are to bee considered for the due framing together of wordes according to the perfect or naturall construction R. Two that is to say Three speciall agreementes of wordes which we call the three concordes And the three rules for the particuler construction of euery part of speech by him selfe Q. Which be your three agreementes of wordes or your three concordes R. The 1 Betweene the nominatiue case and the verbe 2 Betweene the Substantiue and the Adiectiue 3 Betweene the Antecedent and the Relatiue Q. Why be they called Concordes R. Because they doe concorde that is to say agree mutually together in some speciall accidents so that the three latter cannot stande perfectly in speech without the three former Q. What tearmes haue ye for them in Grammar R. The three former that is the Nominatiue case the substantiue and the Antecedent bee called Subiecta as it were the pillers or vpholders or vnder setters of the other The latter three that is to say the verbe the Adiectiue the relatiue may be called Adiecta which we may terme in Englishe the weakelings or the wauerers or the leaners because they bee of them selues wèake and wauering except they do as it were leane to their pillers or vndersetters Q. Howe do these Adiecta agree with their Subiecta R. I haue for euery one of these Concordes or agreements certaine proper rules to showe howe they doe agree together The first Concorde Q. Which is the rule for the first Concorde R. A verbe personall agreeth with his Nominatiue case in two things that is in number and person Q. Must the verbe Personall then allwayes be the same number and person that his nominatiue case is R. No forsooth not alwayes for I haue three exceptions Q. Which be they R. The first is this when I haue moe Nominatiue cases then one comming together with a coniunction copulatiue betweene them although they be all the singular number yet my verbe must be put in the plural number but it must bee suche person as the moste woorthie Nominatiue case is Q. Which call ye the most worthie nominatiue case R. The Nominatiue case of the first person is more woorthie then the seconde and the nominatiue case of the second person is more worthie then the thirde Q. Which is your second exception R. When a verbe commeth betweene two Nominatiue cases of diuers numbers it may indifferently accorde eyther with that which goeth before him or with that which commeth after him so that they bee both of one person Q. Which is the thirde exception R. This. The Nominatiue case to the verbe is not alwaies a casuall worde but sometime a whole sentence sometime a peece of a sentence sometime an Infinitiue mode sometime an Aduerbe with a Genitiue case Q. What call you a casuall woorde R. Such a word as is declined with cases namely a nowne a pronowne and a participle Q. Howe can a whole sentence a peece of a sentence an infinitiue mode or an Aduerbe with a Genitiue case be Nominatiue case to the verbe R. When they stande for the Nominatiue case they bee taken altogether as it were a Substantiue and may be supposed to bee declined altogether like hoc nihil indeclinabile Q. Why so R. Because nothing can bee the Nominatiue case to the verbe but a substantiue or that which is taken as a substantiue Q. Why the relatiue may bee the Nominatiue case to the verbe and yet he is no substantiue R. The Relatiue as touching his case standeth for a substantiue and is alwayes aunsweared to in his case seuerally as a Substantiue Q. May not an adiectiue be nominatiue case to the verbe R. Yes but then he must be put alone without a substantiue in the Newter gender and so supply the place of a substantiue Q. What number and person shall the verbe bee when a whole sentence a peece of a sentence an Infinitiue mode or an Aduerbe with a genitiue case is the nominatiue case to the verbe R. If it haue respect but to one thing it shalbe the singular number and the thirde person If it haue respect to moe things then one it shalbe the plural number 3. person Q. In making and construing Latine where shall I put the Nominatiue case R. For the most parte before the verbe but sometime after the verbe Q. When is the Nominatiue case put after the verbe R. At 3 times when We aske a question the verbe is the Imperatiue mode the signe it or there commeth before y e english of y e verbe Q. How will ye find out the nominatiue case to the verbe R. Put the question who or what with the englishe of the verbe the word in the sentence that answeareth that question is the nominatiue case Q. Howe many thinges may bee the nominatiue case to the verbe R. Fiue that is to say a 1 Casual worde y t is either a Substantiue Relatiue 2 Whole reason or sentence Substantiue Relatiue 3 Clause or peece of a sentēce Adiectiue standing for a substantiue 4 Infinitiue mode of a verbe Adiectiue standing for a substantiue 5 Aduerb with a genitiue case Adiectiue standing for a substantiue Of the second Concord Q. Which is the rule of the second Concord R. The Adiectiue whether it be nowne pronowne or participle agreeth with his substantiue in 3. things that is Case Gender and Number Q. Why haue ye more Adiectiues then of nownes R. Yea forsooth Very many nownes be adiectiues Al Pronownes sauing Ego tu sui be adiectiues All Participles be adiectiues Q. Is an Adiectiue alwayes the same Case Gender and Number that his Substantiue is R. Not alwayes for I haue 3. such exceptions as I haue in the first Concorde Q. Which is the first exception for the second Concord R. Many Substantiues singular with a Coniunction Copulatiue comming betweene them will haue an Adiectiue plurall which Adiectiue shall agree with the Substantiue of the most worthy gender Q. Which is the Substantiue of the most worthy gender R. The Substantiue of the Masculine gender is more worthy then y e feminine the substantiue of the feminine gender is more worthy then the Newter Q. Is this euer true R. Nay for in things not apt to haue life the Newter gēder is most worthy Q. Which is the second exception for the second
R. 7. First the 2. generall accidents Forme Figure Secondly the generall accidents of the foure partes declined which is Number Thirdly these foure Case Gender Declenson Comparison Q. What call ye forme R. Forme is that Accident which in Latin is called species whereby I discerne whether the woorde bee sprong of it selfe and therefore called a primitiue or whether it be drawen or deriued out of an other worde and so called a deriuatiue for all wordes be eyther the primitiue or deriuatiue forme Q. Howe many sorts of nownes haue yee of the primitiue forme or that be called primitiues R. 18 Substantiues 10. 1 Corporale 2 Incorporale 3 Absolutum 4 Generale 5 Speciale 6 Homonymū or aequiuoc◠7 Synonimum 8 Collectiuum 9 Ad aliquid 10 Temporale Adiectiues 8. 1 Interrogatiuum 2 Infinitū or Indefinitū 3 Relatiuum 4 Redditiuum 5 Nume Cardina Ordinale Distributi 6 Partiti 7 Vniuer 8 Particu Nomina in riu◠plus plex Q. How many sortes of nownes haue ye called deriuatiues R. 16. Whereof some bee Substantiues 8. 1 Denominatiuum 2 Contentiuum 3 Ficticium 5 Verbale 5 Patrium 6 Gentile 7 Patronimi 8 Diminitiuū Adiectiues 8 1 Possessiuum 2 Materiale 3 Locale 4 Participiale 5 Gerundiuum 6 Aduerbiale 7 Comparatiuū 8 Superlatiuum But of verbals some be substantiues some be adiectiues their terminations for the most part be these Tus sus bundus io tor trix menxus bilis vra Q. What call ye figure R. Figure called in Latine Figura is that accident whereby we discerne whether a worde be altogether of him selfe and that is saide to bee the simple figure or whether it bee mingled with some other woorde and such a worde is saide to bee either the compound figure or the double compound figure Q. And are these 2. accidents common to all wordes R. Yea forsooth for there is no worde but that he is eyther Primitiue or Deriuatiue Simple or Compound Q. Nowe what call ye number R. Number is an accident whereby I discerne whether ye speake of one thing or of moe Q. Howe many numbers haue yee R. Two the Singular w t speaketh of one as lapis a stone Plural w t speaketh of mo then one as lapides stones Q. What call yee a case R. A case is euery seuerall ending of a nowne pronowne and participle when it is declined Q. What meane ye by declined R. Declined that is to say altered broken or chaunged from the first name of the worde into other terminations Q. What meane you by terminations R. A termination is the ende of a worde eyther in the last letters or in the last syllables Q. Howe many cases haue yee R. Sixe the Nominatiue Genitiue Datiue Accusatiue Vocatiue Ablatiue Q. Hath euery nowne all these sixe cases or seuerall portions as ye call them R. Yea if it be a perfect nowne Q. Why haue ye some nownes that be vnperfect R. Yea and those we cal heteroclita whereof be 3. sortes 1 Variantia which do vary somwhat from the common sorte of nownes 2 Deficientia whiche doe lacke somewhat that commonly nownes haue 3 Redundantia whiche haue something more then commonly nownes haue Q. What meane ye by the nominatiue case R. It might be called the name It is so called a nominando that is of naming for it is the very first name of euery nowne pronowne and participle it is not properly a case but is so termed onely for plaine teaching it is called in Latine rectus and so is the vocatiue for the moste part and all the other cases bee called obliqui casus Q. What is the reason of these names R. Rectus casus signifieth the right case and the nominatiue case is so called because it setteth downe rightly the very name of euery thing as homo Obliquus casus signifieth a crooked or bended case and so be all other cases called because their terminations are as it were bent and crooked away from the nominatiue As hominis homini hominem homine c. Q. Howe knowe ye the nominatiue case R. The nominatiue case in the naturall order of speeche commeth before the verbe and if I ioyne with the verbe this qustion who or what the woorde that answereth to that question is the nominatiue case As The Maister teacheth Question Who teacheth Answere The maister Q. Howe knowe yee the genitiue case R. The genitiue is knowne in Latine by the terminations of the declensons and in Englishe hee hath this signe of before him and aunswereth to the question whose of whome or whereof as The learning of the Maister Q. Howe knowe you the datiue case R. In Latine by the termination in Englishe it hath commonly this signe to before him and answereth to this question To whome or To what as I giue a booke to the Maister Q. Howe knowe yee the Accusatiue case R. The Accusatiue case in order of speeche followeth the verbe and if ye ioyne the question whome or what with the verbe the worde that answereth the question is the accusatiue case As I loue the Maister Q. Howe knowe ye the vocatiue case R. In Latine by the termination In Englishe by calling or speaking to Q. For if I call or speake to any person I must put the name of the person to whom I speake in the vocatiue case as Master I loue you Q. Howe knowe ye the ablatiue case R. In Latine by the termination of the declenson and in Englishe it hath commonly one of these signes before it In with through for from by or then Q. This is sufficient for the cases what call ye Gender R. Gender is an accident of a nowne whereby wee make difference of natures in the names of thinges considering whether the woorde signifie the Male kynde or the Female Q. Howe many Genders haue ye R. Mine accidence rehearseth 7. but in deede there are but three Q. Which be those seuen R. The 1 Masculine 2 Feminine 3 Newter 4 Common of two 5 Common of three 6 Doutfull 7 Epicaene Q. You say there are but 3. genders in deede which be they R. The Masculine Feminine Newter Q. What are the rest if they be not properly genders R. A mixture or mingling of genders Q. What meane yet by Masculine Feminine and Newter R. Masculine betokeneth the male kinde Feminine betokeneth the female kinde Newter signifieth neyther male nor female and vnder those 3. wordes are all kynde of natures comprehended Q. Howe is euery gender discerned from other R. Euery proper gender hath his proper article Q. What call yee an Article R The marke whereby we discerne the gender Q. How many articles haue yee R. Three Hic Haec Hoc Q. Why this Hic Haec Hoc is a pronown signifieth this R. It is true Hic Haec Hoc is a Pronowne and then it signifieth this but when it is declined with a Nowne it is onlie an article that is to say the marke of a gender and hath no signification at all Q. Then
which is the proper article of the Masculine gender R. The Masculine gender is declined with this article hic as hic vir a man Q. Which is the article of the Feminine R. Haec Q. Which of the Newter R. Hoc Q. You say there are but three genders in deede and they haue their proper articles What then Haue those other which ye numbred among the genders no articles R. They be not properly genders and therefore they haue no proper articles But as they be a mixture or mingling of genders so doe they borrowe their articles of the three proper genders Q. Howe so R. The common of two is both the masculine gender and the feminine and therefore hee hath both their articles hic and haec The common of three is both the masculine the feminine and the newter and therefore hee borroweth all their articles hic haec and hoc The doutfull gender is eyther the masculine or the feminine and therefore he hath hic or haec Q. What article hath the Epicene gender R. The Epicene gender may haue any article according to the nature of the woorde But all nownes of the Epicene gender be eyther names of foules or of fishes or of wylde beastes And because these nownes doe in one word signifie two kindes that is the male the female Therefore wee say suche a worde is the Epicene gender that is the common or mingled gender Q. Why so R. Because that in any such one worde what article soeuer it hath is vnderstood two natures the male and the female As Vulpes the hee foxe and the shee Passer the cock sparrow y t hen Halec the male hearing y t female Q. How will you finde out the gender of a nowne R. By certaine rules in latine verses set downe in my booke of the latine Grammar Q. This is sufficient for gēders what call yee declenson R. It is the breaking of the first name of a worde into diuers other terminations which we call cases Q. Howe many Declensons of nownes haue yee R. Fiue Q. Howe will yee knowe what Declenson a nowne is R. By the termination or ending of the genitiue case singuler Q. Howe endes the genitiue case singular of euerye declenson R. The genitiue case singular of the first Declenson endeth in ae second Declenson endeth in i thirde Declenson endeth in is fourth Declenson endeth in us fifth Declenson endeth in ei Q. What call yee this breaking of nownes into cases R. I call it declining of nownes Q. Howe endes the vocatiue case singular of the firste declenson R. Like the nominatiue except nownes in as which do make their vocatiue in a as Nominatiuo Thomas vocat Thoma Q. How endes the Datiue case plurall of the first declenson R. in is Q. what in all nownes R. No. For these two nownes filia and nata doe make the datiue and the ablatiue case plurall in is or in abus As Datiuo his filiis vel siliabus And these foure nownes Dea Mola Equa Liberta doe not make the datiue and the ablatiue case plurall in is but onely in abus as Datiuo Deabus Mulabus Equabus Libertabus Q. How ends the vocatiue case singular in the 2. declenson R. For the most part like the nominatiue Q. Doeth it not alwayes ende like the nominatiue R. No forsooth Q. When doth it not ende like the nominatiue R. When the nominatiue endeth either in vs or in ius Q. Howe endeth the vocatiue when the nominatiue endeth in vs R. When the nominatiue endeth in vs the vocatiue shall ende in e. Q. What in all nownes R. Yea forsooth Except this woorde Deus which maketh the vocatiue case Deus also And filius whiche maketh the vocatiue fili Q. How ends the vocatiue when y t nominatiue endeth in ius R. When the nominatiue endeth in ius the vocatiue shall end in i if the word be a proper name of a man as Terentius vocat Terenti otherwise it endeth in e. Q. You sayde that all Nownes which haue their nominatiue in vs doe make their vocatiue in e except Deus filius How say ye to Manus doth he make his vocatiue case Mane R. No. For manus is a nowne of the 4. declenson And this rule is onely for nownes of the second declenson Q. Doe all other nownes in vs of the seconde declenson except Deus make their vocatiue in e. R. Nay These 6. nownes agnus lucus vulgus populus chorus fluuius make their vocatiue in e or in vs. Q. How endes the vocatiue case in all other declensons R. The vocatiue case in all declensons generally endes like the nominatiue both in the singular number in y e plurall Q. Hoc regnum tegni what declenson is it R. The seconde because the genitiue case singular endeth in i. Q. What is his nominatiue case plurall R. Regna Q. Why how endes the nominatiue case plurall of the second declenson R. in i. Q. Then why doe yee not say nominatiue haec regni R. Because it is a nowne of the newter gender Q. And what then R. All nownes of the newter gender of what declenson soeuer haue the nominatiue the accusatiue and the vocatiue alike both in the singular number and in the plurall And those three cases in the plurall number end alwayes in a as well in substantiues as in adiectiues of the newter gender Q. Is there no nowne substantiue nor adiectiue of the newter gender but that he makes the nominatiue the accusatiue and the vocatiue case plurall in a R. None except these two nownes ambo duo And they doe not make these three cases plurall in a. but in o and therfore I say pluraliter ambo ambae ambo not amba Of Adiectiues Q. This is sufficient for substantiues Nowe howe many sortes of adiectiues haue yee R. So many as I had of substantiues For some be proper some be common And some be Primitiue some bee Deriuatiue And some be simple and some be compound Q. What accidentes hath an adiectiue R. All those which a substantiue hath and one more Q. Whiche is that R. Comparison Q. Why doeth not a sudstantiue make comparison R. No forsooth For comparison is onelie proper to adiectiues although in some Authors are read some few words of the cōparatiue degree drawne out of substantiues yet it is vnproper For no substantiue doeth properly forme comparison but by abuse Q. Are all the accidentes in an adiectiue as they bee in a substantiue R. Forme Figure Number and case be the same and in the same manner in an adiectiue that they were in a substantiue but there is some difference in the genders and in the declyning Q. What genders hath an adiectiue R. Euery perfect adiectiue hath in euery case both in the singular number and in the plurall all the three proper genders That is to say the Masculine the Feminine y t Newter Q. Howe will yee finde out these three genders in euerye case of
an adiectiue R. If there be three terminations of the adiectiue as bonus bona bonum the first termination is the Masculine gender the second is the feminine and the thirde is the newter If there be but two terminations as hunc hanc foelicem hoc foelix then the former termination as foelicem is both the Masculine and the Feminine and the latter termination as foelix is the Newter If there be but one termination as hic haec hoc foelix or Datiuo bonis then that one termination is both the Masculine the Feminine and the Newter in what case soeuer it bee Q. Howe chaunce yee sayde there were but two terminations when ye reckoned hunc hanc foelicem hoc foelix are there no wordes but two R. Yes but because hunc hanc hoc are but articles that is to say signes of the gender therefore I must not reckon them nor any one of the articles in what case soeuer it be for any parte or termination of the Nowne so that beside the articles there are no moe terminations in that case but foelicem foelix Q. What difference is there in declining of adiectiues R. Forsooth some be declined with three terminations in euery case without any articles and some be declined with three articles Q. How be nownes adiectiues of 3. terminations declined R. Nownes adiectiues of 3. terminations in the masculine gender be declined like nownes substantiues of the Masculine gender in the second declenson that is to say like Dominus or Magister In the Feminine gender like a nowne of the first declenson as Musa In the newter like a nowne of the Newter gender in the second Declenson as Regnum Q. How be nownes adiectiues of 3. articles declined R. Like nownes substantiues of the Masculine Feminine and newter gender in the 3. declenson Q. Be all adiectiues declined in this manner R. All sauing these eyght vnus totus solus vllus alius alter vter and neuter And their compoundes whiche make their genitiue case singular in ius and their datiue in i in all other cases they are declined like nownes adiectiues of three terminations Of Comparison Q. We haue past ouer sixe of the accidentes of a Nowne which is the seuenth R. Comparison Q. What call yee comparison R. It is in english the altering of the signification of a word by degrees into more or lesse In latine it is the altering of a word into other terminations whereby the worde doeth signifie more or lesse Q. How many parts of speech doe forme comparison R. These foure a Nowne Participle Aduerbe Preposition Q. Are yee sure that all these foure partes of speeche dot make comparison R. I cannot say that they all properly doe forme cōparison so long as they be taken for those partes of speech Q. Why so R. For a Participle when hee formeth comparison is accounted to bee a nowne adiectiue And a Preposition whē he formeth comparison is counted an Aduerbe Q. Well then doe all nownes adiectiues and all Aduerbes forme comparison R. No forsooth Q. Which then R All such nownes and aduerbes whose signification may be increased or diminished That is to say made more or made lesse as harde harder hardest Q. How many sortes of comparison haue yee R. These foure a comparison that is called 1 perfect 2 anomala without rule 3 defectiua lacking 4 abusiua not in vse Q. Which call yee a perfect comparison R. That which hath all the degrees of comparison and is formed after some certaine rule Q. What meane yee by a degree of comparison R. Euery word in the adiectiue or aduerbe that altereth the signification by more or lesse is called a degree Q. Howe many degrees of comparison be there R. Three The Positiue Comparatiue Superlatiue Q. What meane yee by the Positiue R. The Positiue degree is y t very first word of y e adiectiue or Aduerbe that formeth comparison as durus harde Q. Why here is no signification encreased by more or lesse R. It is true For the positiue doth signifie a thing absolutely without excesse that is to say it hath no respect of comparison with any other worde neither doeth it encrease his signification by more or lesse and therefore it is vnproperly called a degree of comparison Q. What call yee the comparatiue degree R. That which signifieth somewhat more then the positiue as durior harder Q. What call yee the Superlatiue degree R. That which exceedeth the positiue in the highest degree that is which signifieth more then his positiue in all respectes As Durissimus hardest of all Q. And howe many rules haue ye to forme these degrees R. I haue onely one rule to forme the comparatiue degree And three to forme the superlatiue Q. Howe forme ye the positiue R. The positiue is not formed at all But is the very first worde of the adiectiue or aduerbe out of whiche the comparitiue and superlatiue degree is formed Q. Which is the rule to forme the comparatiue degree R. This The comparatiue degree is formed of the first case of his positiue that endeth in i by putting to or or vs as Durus harde the genitiue case is Duri put to or and it maketh Durior put to vs and it maketh Durius and so the comparatiue degree of Durus is hic haec durior hoc durius Q. Which is your first rule for the superlatiue degree R. This. The superlatiue degree is formed of the firste case of his positiue that endeth in i. by putting thereto s. and simus As Durus the genitiue case is Duri put to s. and it maketh Duris and then put to simus and it maketh Durissimus and that is the superlatiue degree Q. Is the genitiue alwayes the first case in i R. Yea forsooth in adiectiues of three terminations but in adiectiues of three articles the datiue is the first case in i. Q. What is your seconde rule to forme the superlatiue degree R. This. If the positiue do ende in er then the superlatiue degree is not formed of the first case of his positiue that endeth in i but of the nominatiue case of the positiue that endeth in er by putting thereto rimus As to Nominatiuo pulcher I put rimus and so the superlatiue degree is pulcherrimus Q. What is your thirde rule to forme the superlatiue degree R. The thirde rule is for these sixe adiectiues that ende in lis humilis similis facilis agilis gracilis docilis Q. Is it not for all adiectiues that ende in lis as well as for these sixe R. No. For all other adiectiues in lis except these sixe doe forme their superlatiue degree according to the first rule as vtilis maketh vtilissimus Q. But howe do these sixe forme the superlatiue degree R. Of the nominatiue case in lis by chaunging is into limus as humilis change is into limus and there is the superlatiue degree humillimus Q. Be here all the rules for
They be so called of Gens a countrey or nation because they properly betokē pertayning to countries or nations to sects or factions as Nostras signifieth of our countrey or sect or faction and so vestras of your countrey c. Q. This is for the forme what meane ye by figure R. It is the generall accident whereby is considered whether the worde be simple or compounde Q. Howe many pronownes be simple R. All those fifteene before rehearsed Q. Howe many sortes of compounde Pronownes haue ye R. Fiue sorts For Nownes as Cuiusmodi Pronownes as Isthic Egomet Aduerbes as Idem of Is and Demum Eccum of Ecce hic Illum Some be compounded with Prepositions as mecum tecum secum these sillables ce as hicce cine as hiccine met as egomet te as tute pte as meapte Q. This is sufficient for the generall accidentes What speciall accidentes hath a Pronowne R. All the same that a nowne hath sauing one Namely Number Case Gender Declenson and Person Q. And are these in the same manner in a Pronowne as they are in a Nowne R. Number case Gender are y e same in a Pronowne that they be in a nowne But y e declensons do somewhat differ Q. How many declensons of Pronownes haue yee R. Foure Q. What Pronownes are of the first Declenson R. The three substantiues Ego Tu Sui be of the first Declenson and haue the genitiue case in i. Q. What Pronownes be of the second Declenson R. These fiue ille ipse iste hic and is be of the second declēson and haue the genitiue case in ius and the Datiue in i. Q. Your Accidence rehearseth sixe R. It is true for the Relatiue qui is numbred amongest them because hee is declined much like vnto them but as I sayd before it is doubted whether he be a nowne or a Pronowne Q. What Pronownes be of the thirde Declenson R. The fiue Possessiues and be declined like nownes adiectiues of three terminations Sauing that meus in the Masculine gender of the vocatiue case singular maketh not mee but mi tuus suus and vester doe lacke the vocatiue case Q. What Pronownes be of the fourth declenson R. The two Gentiles Nostras Vestras and they be declined altogether like nownes adiectiues of 3. articles Q. Your Accidence rehearseth 3. R. It is true for Cuias is ioyned with them because hee is called a Gentile declined as they be But Cuias is a meere Nowne no Pronowne Q. This is sufficient for Declensons But doth not a Pronowne forme comparison R. No not properly Q. Why Ipse and tu be Pronownes and they forme comparison as Ipse ipsissimus Tu Tuissimus Ergo a Pronowne also formeth comparison R. Indeede these wordes are to be founde in some writers But this comparison in Pronownes is vnproper and out of vse although suffered sometimes in the Poets Q. Well then the last accident of a Pronowne is person what call yee person R. Person is the name of any thing or creature whiche is sayde to doe or suffer any thing as well in thinges that haue no life as in liuing creatures Q. Doeth not person also chaunce to a Nowne R. No not properly Q. Why the name of euery thing is a nowne and you saye that the name of euery thing is a person therefore euery Nowne is a person R. It is true euery Nowne substantiue euery Pronowne substantiue whatsoeuer supplieth the place of a substantiue in Grammar is a person Q. Why doe ye not say then that person belongeth as well to a Nowne as to a Pronowne R. Because there is no such speciall difference of persons in nownes as there is in Pronownes For euery nowne is of the third person Q. How many persons be there R. Three Q. Howe knowe yee the first person R. The first person is a worde that speaketh of himselfe as I We And hath no more wordes in Latine of the first person properly but Ego and Nos Q. How know yee the second person R. The seconde person betokeneth somewhat that is spoken to as Thou Yee And hath no more words of y t person properly in Latine but Tu Vos and euery vocatiue case Q. Howe knowe yee the thirde person R. The thirde person betokeneth somewhat that is spoken of as He They And so all nownes Pronownes Participles are of the third Person except Ego Nos Tu Vos and euery vocatiue case Q. To what vse serue these persons in speech R. They be alwayes referred to some verbe and I can forme no verbe in any moode or tense except the Infinitiue but I must alwayes haue with it one of these persons Q. Why so R. For these persons in Pronownes be like to articles in nownes For as I ioyne some of them with the nowne in declining it So I ioyne some of these persons with the verbe in forming it Q. Which be the persons y t yee vse in forming of verbes R. These Singular 1 Ego I. plurall 1 Nos We. 2 Tu. thou 2 Vos Yee 3 Ille hee 3 Illi They. Of a Verbe Q. Which is the thirde parte of speeche R. A verbe Q. What is to be considered in a verbe R. Three thinges His Definition Diuision Accidentes Q. What is a verbe R. A word that signifieth any thing which any thing or creature may be may do or cause to be done is a verbe Or thus A verbe is a part of speech that betokeneth doing suffring or being And is alwayes formed with mode and tense Q. To what vse serueth a verbe in speech R. To make the speeche perfect For there can bee no speech without a verbe Q. Why so R. For as in a Nowne bee comprehended all wordes that signifie the name of any creature that may doe may suffer or may be any thing So a verbe comprehendeth al words that signifie the doing suffering or beeyng of any suche creature Q. Howe many sortes of verbes haue yee R. Two That is to say Personall and Impersonall Q. What call yee Personall R. That which is formed with Persons Q. What call yee Impersonall R. That which is formed in y t third person singular throughout all modes and tenses without any persons And haue cōmonly before them in English this signe it or there Q. How many sorts of verbes Impersonals haue yee R. Two One of the Actiue voyce ending in t. Another of the Passiue voyce ending in tu◠Q. How many kindes of verbes Personals haue yee R. Of verbes personals there be fiue kindes Actiue Passiue Newter Deponent Common Q. Howe shall I knowe of what kinde my verbe is R. By his Voyce Termination Declining Q. What meane yee by voyce R. I call voyce the signification of the verbe Q. How many sortes of voyces be there in verbes R. Three Actiue Passiue Newter But we will make no difference betweene Actiue and Newter Q. What meane yee by Actiue voyce R. Actiue signifieth
doing And so a verbe of the Actiue voyce is a worde that signifieth to doe somewhat Q. Howe will yee knowe which verbe is the Actiue voyce R. Any verbe is the Actiue voyce which hath not before his english any signe of a Passiue Q. How will yee know which verbe is the Passiue voyce R. Any verbe is the Passiue voyce which hath before his english any of these signes of the Passiue Q. Which be the signes of the Passiue R. These am are art is was were wert be or bene Q. Which kinde of verbes haue the Actiue voyce which haue the Passiue R. A verbe Actiue-hath alwayes the Actiue voyce A verbe passiue hath alwaies the Passiue voyce Some verbes newters haue the Actiue voyce and some haue the Passiue A verbe Deponent hath alwayes the Actiue voyce a verbe Common hath both the Actiue and the Passiue voyce Q. What meane ye by termination in verbes R. I meane the latter end of the verbe in the last letter Q. How many terminations haue yee in verbes R. Three For some verbes ende in o. or m. Q. How many sortes of verbes end in o R. Two A verbe Actiue and a verbe Newter Q. Howe many kindes of verbes end in or R Three A verbe Passiue a verbe Deponent a verbe Common Q. How many kinds of verbes end in M R. A few verbes Newters as Sum. Forem and their Compoundes Q. Nowe what meane yee by declining of verbes R. I meane the rehearsing of the first and second person of the preterperfectense of the infinitiue mode of y e gerundes supines of the participles Q. And how many sortes of declynings be there in verbs R. Generally two For all verbes for the most part bee declined either like y e verbe Actiue or like the verbe Passiue Q. How know yee a verbe Actiue R. A verbe Actiue endeth in o hath the Actiue voyce by putting to this letter r may be made a Passiue Q. How is he declined R. Thus. His first worde endes in o as Amo Doceo Lego Audio His second worde ends in as es or is as amas doces legis audis The third word in declining of verbes is y e preterperfectense endes in i as amaui docui legi audiui His 4. worde in declining is the Infinitiue mode and endes in re as amare docere legere audire Then followeth 3. gerundes ending in di do dum as amandi amando amandum docendi docendo docendum legendi legendo legendum audiendi audiendo audiendum Then two Supines the first ending in um and the other in u as amatum amatu doctū doctu lectum lectu auditum auditu Then a Participle of the Presentense in ans or ens as amans docens legens audiens Lastly a Participle of the first Future tense in rus as amaturus docturus lecturus auditurus Q. How know yee a verbe Passiue R. A verbe passiue endeth in or hath alwayes the Passiue voyce and by putting away the letter r he may bee made an Actiue Q. How is he declined R. Thus his first worde endes in or as amor doceor legor audior his second worde ends in ris or re as amaris vel amare doceris vel docere legeris vel legere audiris or audire the third word in declining is alwayes the Preterperfectense and is made of the Participle of the Pretertense and the verbe Sum es fui as Amatus sum vel fui Doctus sum vel fui Lectus sum vel fui auditus sum vel fui the fourth worde in declining is the Infinitiue mode and endes in i as amari doceri legi audiri Then followeth a Participle of the Pretertense as amatus doctus lectus auditus and lastly a Participle of the latter Future tense as amandus docendus legendus audiendus Q. How knowe yee a verbe Newter R. He endeth alwayes in o or m and hath for the most parte the Actiue signification But some verbes Newters haue the Passiue voyce and he cannot take r to him and become a Passiue Q. How is hee declined R. Altogether like a verbe Actiue sauing that some verbs newters haue their Preterperfectense like the verbe Passiue and such be called Newter Passiues Q. How many sortes of verbes Newters haue yee R. Three for some bee called Substantiues Absolute or Intransitiue Transitiue Q. Which call ye a verbe Substantiue R. Such a verbe as onely signifieth being as Sum forem fio and existo Q. What meane yee by Absolute or Intransitiue R. Such a verbe as hath an absolute or perfect sence in his owne signification without any woorde ioyned after him as aegroto I am sicke curro I runne Q. What meane yee by a verbe Transitiue R. Such a verbe as hath not a perfect sence in his owne signification but must be made vp by some worde comming after him as viuo vitam I liue a life of this sort are Actiues and Deponentes as amo magistrum I loue the maister loquor verbum I speake a worde Q. How know yee a verbe Deponent R. A verbe Deponent endeth in or like a Passiue but hee hath the Actiue voyce and cannot put away the letter r and so become an Actiue Q. How is a verbe Deponent declined R. Altogether like a verbe Passiue till after the Infinitiue mode and then with Gerundes and Supines like a verb Actiue sauing that he must haue three Participles one of the Presentense one of the Pretertense and one of the future in rus Q. How know yee a verbe Common R. He endeth alwayes in or and hath both the Actiue and the Passiue voyce but he cannot put away r and become an Actiue Q. How is a verbe Common declined R. Altogether like a verbe Deponent sauing that he must haue all the foure Participles Q. Now tell me what accidentes hath a verbe R. First the two generall Accidentes R. For all verbes bee eyther the Primitiue or Deriuatiue Forme Simple or Compound Figure And then the generall accident of the 4. declined partes which is Number Q. How many sortes of Primitiues be there R. There is no difference of Primitiues Q. How many sortes of Deriuatiues haue yee These 7. for the moste parte 1 Inchoatiues 2 Frequentatiues 3 Desideratiues 4 Imitatiues 5 Diminutiues 6 Denominatiues 7 Aduerbials Q. What call yee figure in a verbe R. The same that was in a nowne For all verbes be eyther the simple figure as facio The compound figure as terrefacio Or the double compounde figure as perterrefacio Q. These be the generall accidents But which be the speciall accidentes of a verbe or how many things chaunce specially to a verbe R. These fiue 1 Kinde 2 Mode 3 Tense 4 Person 5 Coniugation Q. What meane yee by the kinde of verbes R. The seuerall sortes of verbes which wee spake of in the diuision of a verbe Q. What call yee mode R. Mode is the maner of speeche that is vttered when any creature is
Howe shall I finde out the Infinitiue moode R. It is alwayes the fourth worde in declining a verbe Q. Howe shall I finde out the second person R. It is alwayes the second worde in declining the verbe Q. Howe many tenses be in euery mode R. Euery mode hath all the fiue tenses except the Imperatiue mode which hath no more but the present tense and as some say the future tense Q. How know you a verbe of any coniugation R. The first coniugation hath a long before re and ris The second coniugation hath e long before re and ris thirde coniugation hath e short before re and ris fourth coniugation hath i long before re and ris Q. Which call yee the Coniugation anomala or without rule R. That which although it hath all modes tenses numbers and persons that ought to be in a verbe yet it is not formed after any of the examples of the 4 per fect coniugations Q. Howe many coniugations haue yee of those that be called anomala or without rule R. So many as there be verbes without rule for euery one of them hath a coniugation proper to himselfe and must be learned by vse without rule Q. Howe many such verbes haue ye R. These are y e most commō Sum. Possum Volo Nolo Malo Edo fio fero feror and eo and queo be in some tenses anomala Q. Howe be eo and queo anomala R. For eo makes Ibam and queo makes quibam in the preterimperfect tense of the Indicatiue mode and eo makes ibo and queo makes quibo in the future tense of the Indicatiue mode but in all other modes and tenses they be formed like verbes in o of the fourth coniugation sauing that they make their gerundes eundi eundo eundum queundi queundo queundum Q. Which is the coniugation that you call defectiua or lacking R. That which lacketh some modes tenses numbers and persons Q. How many coniugations haue yee of verbes called defectiua R. So many as there be verbes Defectiues Q. Which be those R. These be the most common aio ausim salue aue vale cedo faxo forem quaeso insit inquio vel inquam and these foure odi caepi memini and noui be in some tenses defectiues Q. What tenses do these foure verbes odi caepi memini and noui lack R. They lacke all present tenses and preterimperfect tenses the future tense of the indicatiue and of the infinitiue mode Q. What tenses haue odi caepi memini and noui R. They haue no more tenses then the preterperfect tense of the indicatiue mode and such tenses as be formed of the preterperfect tence of the Indicatiue mode Q. What tenses be formed of the preterperfect tense of the Indicatiue mode R. Of the preterperfect tense of the indicatiue mode be formed preterpluperfect tense of y e indicatiue mode preterperfect tense of the optatiue mode preterpluperfect tense of the potētial mode future tense of the subiūctiue mode preterperfect tense of y e infinitiue mode preterpluperfect tense of ye infinitive mode Q. Tell me howe R. The preterpluper tense of y e indicat is formed by changing y e last vowel of y e preterper into e putting to ram preterperfect optatiue potent rim future subiunc ro The preterpluperfect of the optat potent subiunct is formed by keeping still s and sem preterperfect of the infinit of the last vowell of y e preterper which is i and putting to s se preterpluper Q. What is the coniugation of verbes called Abusiua R. That neither is formed according to the order of the foure coniugations neyther is in vse among writers but was abused by olde Poets for the verse sake As perduint for perdant Q. What call ye forming of verbes R. It is like that which I call declining of nownes for it is the breaking of the first name of the verbe into his seuerall modes and euery mode into his seuerall tenses and euery tense into his seuerall persons Q. Howe is a verbe formed R. It is better learned by vse and example then by rule therfore I haue in my Accidence for euery one of the foure perfect coniugations a seuerall example as well for the verbe in o as for the verbe in or according to the which I must forme all other perfect verbes Q. Which be the examples of your 4. perfect coniugations R. The example of the first coniugation is Amo and his passiue Amor. The example of the second coniugation is Doceo and his passiue Deceor The example of the thirde coniugation is Lego and his passiue Legor The example of the fourth coniugation is Audio and his passiue Audior Q. May any verbe be formed according to one of these foure examples R. Yea any perfect verbe sauing that there is some difference in the preter perfect tense and supines Q. Howe shall I finde them out R. We haue certayne rules for them in Latin verses wherof we shall speake more by them selues Q. Howe shall ye forme your verbes that be called Anomola defectiua and abusiua R. Euery one of them must be learned with vse seuerally by them selues because wee haue neyther rules nor examples for them Q. Howe be verbes Impersonalls formed R. In the third person singular onely throughout all modes and tenses as well in the Actiue voyce as in the Passiue Q. Which call yee Gerundes R. They be certayne voyces in verbes belonging to the Infinitiue mode ending in di do and dum as amandi amando amandum Q. Why be they called Gerundes R. Some say a gerendo morem Because they serue both for nownes and for verbes Q. Howe so R. They serue verbes for that they haue the signification of verbes both Actiue and Passiue they serue nownes because they haue the forme of nownes and of some bee declined like nownes Q. How be Gerundes declined like nownes R. Nominat caret Genitiuo Amandi of louing or of being loued Datiuo caret Accusatiuo Amandum to loue or to be loued Vocatiuo caret Ablatiuo Amando in louing or in being loued Q. What meane yee by Supines R. The Supines bee also two seuerall voyces perteyning to verbes whereof the first endes in um and is englished like the Infinitiue mode Actiue as amatum to loue and the latter endes in u and is englished like the Infinitiue mode Passiue as amaru to be loued ¶ Linacer thinketh that both these shoulde be called participiall verbes because they take part with a verbe as signification and part with a nowne as case and Declenson Of a Participle Q. Which is the fourth part of speeche R. A Participle Q. What is to be considered in a Participle R. Three things his Definition That is to tell What it is Diuision What parts or kindes it hath Accidents What things fall or belōg to it Q. What is a Participle R. A Participle is a part of speech deriued of a verbe and taketh some part with a
For I haue three speciall rules referred to the genitiue case of a nowne common whereby I may learne his gender Q. Which be they R. The first is Nomen non crescens Genitiuo seu caro carnis c. The seconde is Nomē crescentis penultima si Genitiui syllaba accuta sonet c. The thirde is Nomen crescentis Penultima si Genitiui fit grauis c. Q. What maner of no wnes belong to your first rule R. All such as doe not increase in the Genitiue case Q. When are nownes sayd to increase in the genitiue case R. When they haue mo syllables in the Genitiue case then they haue in the Nominatiue Q. What gender then must those nownes bee by this rule which doe not increase in the Genitiue case R. All those whiche doe agree with the rule be the feminine gender Q. Did you not say that all nownes which do not increase in the Genitiue case doe agree with the rule R. No forsooth I sayde in deede that all nownes which doe not increase in the genitiue case do belong to the first rule but all they doe not agree with the rule Q. What difference do ye put betweene these two wordes belonging and agreeing R. I count all those to belong to the rule whiche bee of the same sort of nownes that the rule is made for though they bee not the same gender whiche the rule appointes them to bee but I count none to agree with the rule but suche as both bee of the same sortes of Nownes that the rule is made for also be the same gender that the rule appointes them to bee Q. Then what gender bee those nownes that be excepted from this first rule R. First some of the Masculine gender contayned in this note of exception Mascula nomina in a dicuntur multa virorum c. and in this note Mascula in er ceu venter in os vel vs vt logos annus Secondly some of the newter Gender contayned in this note Newtrum nomen in e si gignit is c. Thirdly some of the doubfull gender contayned in this note of exception Incertigeneris sunt talpa et dama canalis c. Lastly some of the common of two conteyned in this rule of exception Compositum a verbo dans a commune duorum est c. Q. Haue ye not also some of the feminine gender excepted contayned in this note Feminei generis sunt mater humus domus c. R. No forsooth this is no exception from the first rule for all these nownes in this exception be the feminine gender and do agree with the first rule but these be excepted from the seconde rule of exception Mascula in er ceu venter in os vel in vs. c. Q. Howe so R. For whereas he had made that rule that nownes which ende in er os or vs were the masculine gender he founde these nowns so ending to be the feminine gender therefore hee put them heere in an exception from that rule Q. What maner of nownes belong to your seconde rule R. All suche nownes as doe encrease in the genitiue case and haue the last syllable sauing one lifted vp sharpe in sound as virtus virtutis Q. What Gender bee those nownes that belong to this rule R. All those that doe agree with the rule bee the feminine gender Q. And what gender are those that are excepted R. Some be of the Masculine gender contayned in this note of exception Mascula dicuntur monosyllaba nomina quaedam And in this Mascula sunt etiam polysyllaba c. And in this Mascula in er or et os c. Some be the newter gender contained in this note Sunt neutralia et haec monosyllaba nomina c. Some be the doubtfull contayned in this note Sunt dubia haec python c. Some be the common of two contayned in this note Sunt commune parens c. Q. What maner of nownes belong to your thirde rule R. All such as doe increase in the genitiue case and haue the last syllable sauing one pronownced flatte or pressed downe as Sanguis Sanguinis Q. What gender bee those nownes whiche belong to this rule R. All those that doe agree with the rule bee the masculine gender Q. What gender be those that be excepted R. Some of the femenine gender contayned in this note of exception Faemineigeneris sit hyperdissyllabon in do Some of the newter gender contayned in this note Est neutrale genus signans rem non animatam c. Some of the doubtfull contayned in this note Sunt dubil generis cardo margo c. Some of the common of two contained in this note Communis generis sunt ista vigil pugil c. For the praeterperfect tenses of simple verbes Q. Howe will yee seeke out the preterperfect tense of a verbe R. I haue certaine rules in latine verses for the forming of them Q. Howe will ye finde out the preterperfect tense of a verb by those rules R. First I must looke whether the verbe be simple or compounde Q. Why so R. Because the preterperfect tense of a compounde verbe is most commonly made of the preterperfect tense of the simple verbe of which he is compounded Q. What if your verbe be simple R. Then I must looke whether he endes o or in or Q. Why so R. Because the preterperfect tense of verbes in or be formed of the latter supine of verbes in o. Q. What if your verbe ende in o R. If the verbe ende in o and be eyther of the first the second or the fourth Coniugation I shall finde out his preterperfect tense by that rule which is made for the termination of the seconde person singuler of the presentense of the indicatiue mode or by the rules of exception Q. What is the termination of the seconde person singular in the present tense of the Indicatiue mode in verbes of the first Coniugation R. As. Q. What is the rule for this termination R. As in presenti perfectum format in aui Q. Do all verbes of the first Coniugation make their preterperfect tense in aui R. All sauing those which be excepted after this rule Q. What is the termination of the second person singular in the second Coniugation R. Es. Q. Which is the rule for this termination R. Es in praesenti perfectum format ui dans Q. Doe all verbes of the second Coniugation make their preterperfect tense in ui R. All sauing those that be excepted eyther by name or by some speciall rule Q. How many special rules of exception haue ye for verbs of this coniugation R. These two l. vel r. ante geo si stet geo vertitue in si And Veo fit vi c. Q.

verbes of the 4. Coniugation make their preterperfect tense in iui R. All sauing those that bee here specially excepted after this rule Q. What if your verbe be the third Coniugation how wil ye then finde out his preterperfect tense R. If my verbe be the thirde coniugation then I shall finde out his preterperfect tense by the speciall rule whiche is made for the termination of the first person singular in the present tense of the Indicatiue mode Q. Which is the termination of the first person singular R. There be as many terminations of the first person singular almost as there bee letters Q. Which be they R. These Bo Co Do Go Ho Lo Mo No Po Quo Ro So Sco To Vo Xo Cio Dio Gio Pio Rio Tio üo Q. Haue ye a rule for euery one of these terminations R. Yea forsooth Q. What is the rule for Bo R. Bo fit bi vt lambo lambi Q. Do all words that ende in bo make their perfect tense in bi R. All sauing those which be after specially excepted Q. And is this the order in euery termination R. Yea forsooth For the preterperfectense of compound verbes Q. If your verbe bee a compounde howe will ye finde out his preterperfectense R. If the verbe be compounde I haue this generall rule for his preterperfect tense Preteritum datidem simplex et compositiuum Q. Why is the preterperfect tense of the verbe compounde the same that the preterperfect tense of the simple is alwayes R. No forsooth not alwayes for the compoundes of manye verbes be afterwardes excepted by certayne speciall rules Q. What verbes be those whose compoundes do alter from this generall rule R. Some compound of Plico a plico compositum c. Olco quamuls vult oleo simplex c. Pungo Composita a pungo c. Do. Natum a do quando est c. Sto Natum a sto stas c. Q. What other exception haue ye from this generall rule R. I haue three rules wherein diuers verbes be excepted Q. Which is the first exception from the generall rule of compounde verbes R. The first rule is of certain verbes whose cōpounds chāge the first vowel of their present tense of their preterperfectense into e Verba haec simplicia presentis c. among which are specially noted Some compoundes of Pario pario cuius nata peri duo Pasco a pasco paui tantum c. Q. Which is the second exception from the generall rule of compound verbes R. The second rule is of certeine verbes whose compounds change their 1. vowel into i Haec habeo lateo c among which are specially noted Some compoundes of Cano a cano natum praeteritum per ui c Placeo a Placeo sic displiceo c. Pango Composita a pango c. Maneo A maneo mansi minui dant c. Some compoundes of Scalpo Composita a scalpo calco c. Calco Salto Claudo Composita a claudo c. Quatio Lauo Q. Which is the last exception from the generall rule of compound verbes R. The last rule is of some verbs whose compounds change the first vowell of their present tence but not of the preterperfectense into i Haec si componas ago c. After which be specially noted Some compoundes of Ago sed pauca notétur namque suum c. Vtque ab ago c. Rego A rego sic pergo c. Facio Nil variat facio c Lego A lego nata re se c. For the Supines of simple Verbes Q. How wil ye finde out the supine of a simple verbe R. By the rule that is made for the termination of his Preterperfectense Q. Which be the terminations of the Preterperfectense R. There be almost as many terminations of the Preterperfectense as there be letters Q. Rehearse them R. Bi Ci Di Gi Li Mi Ni Pi Qui Ri Si Psi Ti Vi iii Xi Q. What is the rule for Bi R. Bi sibi tum format c. Q. Doth all those verbes whose Preterperfectense end in bi make their supines in tum R. All sauing those that hereafter are specially excepted Q. And is this the order for all the other terminations R. Yea forsooth For the Supines of compound Verbes Q. How will yee seeke out the Supine of a verbe Compounde R. I haue this generall rule for the Supines of verbes pounde Compositum vt simplex formatur quodque Supinum Q. Doe all compounde verbes forme their supines in the same manner that their simples doe R. All sauing a fewe that bee specially afterwarde excepted
