Rules of Construction in English Grammar, Part 16 – Part 23
Verbs gouerning an ablatiue caſe after them.
Verbes with an ablatiue caſe.ALl verbs require an ablatiue caſe of the inſtrument, put with this ſigne with, before it, or of the cauſe, or of the maner of doing: as Ferit eum gladio, He ſtriketh him with a ſword. Taceo metu, I hold my peace for feare. Summa eloquentia cauſam egit, He pleaded the cauſe with great eloquence.
The examples applied.In this rule are thrée examples. In the firſt, Ferit eum gladio, the verbe ferit hath after him this word gladio the ablatiue caſe of the inſtrument, with this ſigne with before it in Engliſh, by this rule.
Taceo metu, in this ſecond example the verb taceo hath after him this word metu, the ablatiue caſe of the cauſe, by this rule.
In the third example, Summa eloquentia cauſam egit, the verbe egit hath after him the ablatiue caſe eloquentia of the maner of doing, by this rule.
An other rule for an ablatiue caſe after verbs.The word of price is put after verbs in the ablatiue caſe: as, Vendidi auro, I ſold it for gold. Emtus ſum argento, I was bought for monie.
The examples applied.In this rule are two examples, in the firſt whereof vendidi auro, the verbe vendidi doth gouern auro in the ablatiue caſe, being a word of price, or a word that ſignifieth the price or value, wherefore the thing was ſold, by this rule.
In the ſecond example, Emtus ſum argento, the verbe emtus ſum hath after him the ablatiue caſe argento, being the word of price, or ſignifieng the value wherefore the thing was bought, by this rule.
Two exceptions from the rule before. The first exception.This former rule hath two exceptions, which are as followeth.
Except theſe genitiue caſes, when they be put alone without ſubſtantiues (for if they hauehave ſubſtantiues they ſhall be put in the ablatiue caſe) Tanti, ſo much, quanti, how much, pluris, for more, minoris, for leſſe, tantidem, for ſo much, tantiuis, for ſo much, quantiuis, for how much ſoeuer, quantilibet, for aſmuch as you list, quanticunque, for how much ſoeuer: as quanti mercatus es hūc equum? for how much bought you this horſe? certe pluris quàm vellem, truely for more than I would.
The examples applied.This exception hath two examples. The firſt is, Quanti mercatus es hunc equum? where quanti a word of price, bicauſe it is put without a ſubſtantiue, is put in the genitiue caſe after the verbe mercatus es, by this exception.
In the ſecond example, Certè pluris quam vellem, the word of price pluris, being put alone without a ſubſtantiue, is put in the genitiue caſe after the verbe mercatus ſum vnderſtood, by this rule.
The ſecond exception.Sauing that after verbs of price, we ſhall alwaies vſe theſe aduerbes in ſtéed of their caſuals: carius, more deare, vilius, better, cheap, melius, better, peius, woorſe, not that theſe words and no other are to be vſed after verbes of price, that is, verbes betokening, buyeng, ſelling, bargaining, and ſuch like, but that when occaſion is offered of ſuch kind of ſpeaking, then theſe aduerbes are to be vſed, and not their comparatiues being nounes adiectiues, vnles their ſubſtantiues be ioined with them, and then they ſhall both be put in the ablatiue caſe.
A note borowed from the latin.Note alſo that after this verbe valeo, betokening the value, or woorth of a thing, the word of price may ſomtimes be put in the accuſatiue caſe.
An other rule for an ablatiue caſe after verbs. Some of the verbes belonging vntounto this rule hauehave ſometimes a genitiue caſe alſo.Verbes of plentie, or ſcarcenes, filling, emptieng, loding, or vnloding, will hauehave an ablatiue caſe; as affluis opibus, thou floweſt in wealth: cares virtute, thou art voide of vertue: expleo te fabulis, I fill thee with tales: ſpoliauit me bonis omnibus, he ſpoiled or robbed me of all my goods: oneras ſtomachum cibo, thou lodest thy ſtomacke with meate: leuabo te hoc onere, I will eaſe thee of this burden.
The examples applied.This rule hath ſixe examples,
in the firſt whereof, affluis opibus, this verbe of plentie affluis hath the ablatiue caſe opibus, by this rule.
Cares virtute, in this ſecond example virtute is the ablatiue caſe after the verb of wanting or ſcarcenes cares, by this rule.
In the third example expleo te fabulis, the verbe of filling expleo, hath after him the ablatiue caſe fabulis by this rule.
Spoliauit me bonis omnibus, in this fourth example bonis is the ablatiue caſe after the verbe of emptieng ſpoliauit, by this rule.
In the fift example oneras ſtomachum cibo, this word cibo is the ablatiue caſe after the verbe of loding oneras, by this rule.
Leuabo te hoc onere. In this ſixt example this word onere is the ablatiue caſe after the verbe of vnloding leuabo, by this rule.
An other rule for an ablatiue caſe after verbs. Some of theſe verbs are ſometimes read with an accuſatiue caſe.Alſo theſe verbs following, with certaine other like, will hauehave an ablatiue caſe: as Vtor, to vſe, fruor, to enioy, fungor, to execute an office, potior, to obtaine, laetor, to reioice, gaudeo, to be glad, dignor, to vouchſaue, or thinke one woorthy, muto, to change, munero, to reward, communico, to make partaker of, afficio, to trouble, proſequor, to purſue, impertio, impertior, to bestow, and ſuch like. And héere is to be marked, that theſe two verbes afficio and proſequor are for the moſt part to be engliſhed accordingly as the ablatiue caſe which they gouerne, will giuegive occaſion: as, afficio te dolore, I make thee ſorie. Proſequor te odio, I hate thee, &c.
An other rule for an ablatiue caſe after verbs.Verbs that betoken receiuing, diſtance, or taking away, wil hauehave an ablatiue caſe with theſe prepoſitions, a, ab, e, ex, or de: as, Accepit literas à Petro, He receiued letters of Peter. Audiui ex nuncio, I heard it of the meſſenger. Longe diſtat à nobis, It is far distant, or far off from vsus. Eripui te è malis, I deliuered thee out of troubles.
The examples applied.This rule hath fower examples. In the firſt Accepit literas à Petro, this word accepit a verbe of receiuing, hath an ablatiue caſe with the prepoſition a, namely à Petro, by this rule.
In the ſecond example, Audiui ex nuncio, the verbe of receiuing audiui, hath an ablatiue caſe with the prepoſition ex, namely ex nuncio, by this rule.
Longe diſtatà nobis. In this third example, the verbe of diſtance diſtat, hath an ablatiue caſe with the prepoſition à, namely à nobis, by this rule.
In the fourth example, Eripui te è malis, the verbe of taking away eripui, hath an ablatiue caſe with this prepoſition è, namely è malis, by this rule.
An exception from the former rule. The examples applied.And this ablatiue after verbs of taking away, may be turned into the datiue: as, Subtraxit mihi cingulum, He tooke from me my girdle. Eripuit illi vitam, He tooke from him his life.
This exception hath two examples. In the firſt, Subtraxit mihi cingulum, the word ſubtraxit, being a verbe of taking away, hath after him the datiue caſe mihi by this exception.
Eripuit illi vitam. In this ſecond example, eripuit being a verbe of taking away, hath after him the datiue caſe illi, by this exception.
An other rule for verbes with an ablatiue caſe.Verbs of comparing or excéeding, may hauehave an ablatiue caſe of the word that ſignifieth the meaſure of excéeding: as, Praefero hunc multis gradibus, I prefer this man by many degrees. Paulo interuallo illum ſuperat, He is beyond the other but a little ſpace.
The examples applied.The examples of this rule are two. The firſt is, Praefero hunc multis gradibus, in which example praefero a verbe of comparing or rather of excéeding, hath after him the word gradibus an ablatiue caſe betokening the meaſure of excéeding, by this rule.
Paulo interuallo illum ſuperat. In this ſecond example, ſuperat a verbe of excéeding, hath after him the word interuallo in the ablatiue caſe, betokening the meaſure of excéeding, by this rule.
The ablatiue caſe abſolute.A noune or a pronoune ſubſtantiue ioined with a participle, expreſſed or vnderſtood, and hauing no other word whereof it may be gouerned, it ſhal be put in the ablatiue caſe abſolute, that is, the ablatiue caſe ſet alone without any word to gouerne him: as, Rege veniente, hoſtes fugerunt, The king comming, the enimies fled. Me duce vinces, I being captaine, thou ſhalt ouercome.
The examples applied.This rule hath two examples. In the firſt, Rege veniente, hoſtes fugerunt, the noune ſubſtantiue rege ioined with the participle veniente héere expreſſed, and hauing no other word to gouerne it, is put in the ablatiue caſe abſolute by this rule.
In the ſecond example, Me duce vinces, the pronoune ſubſtantiue me ioined with the participle exiſtente vnderſtood, and hauing no other word whereof it may be gouerned, is put in the ablatiue caſe abſolute, by this rule.
A note for the yoonger ſort.Where note, that if there be no participle expreſly ſet downe with the ablatiue caſe abſolute, then for the moſt part you are to vnderſtand this participle exiſtens, the which cauſeth alwaies the ſubſtantiue following to be the ablatiue caſe, by the rule of participles gouerning ſuch caſe as the verbe that they come of. And bicauſe that Exiſto will hauehave ſuch caſe after him as he had before him, therefore the participle exiſtens vnderſtood with the ablatiue caſe abſolute before him, doth cauſe the ſubſtantiue following, if there be any, to be put alſo in the ablatiue caſe, as appéereth in this example, Me duce, where the participle exiſtente vnderſtood with the ablatiue caſe abſolute me, cauſeth the ſubſtantiue duce following, to be the ablatiue caſe alſo, by the rule next before in this note alledged: and the like is to be ſaid of all other ſuch ſpéeches.
How to reſolue this ablatiue caſe abſolute.And this ablatiue caſe abſolute may be reſolued, or turned into other Latin by any of theſe words, dum, whileſt, cum, when, quando, when, ſi, if, quanquam, although, poſtquam, after that, and then the ablatiue caſe muſt be turned into the nominatiue caſe, and the participle into the verbe, as in theſe examples, Rege veniente, the king comming, id eſt, that is to ſay, dum veniret rex, whilest, or when the king came. Me duce, I being captaine, .i. This .i. thus ſet in latin with two prickes, ſtandeth for id eſt, that is to ſay.ſi ego dux fuero, or rather extitero, turning the participle exiſtente vnderſtood, into the verbe extitero.
Synecdoche. aegrotat animo. Rubet capillos. diſcrucior animi.Some verbs may hauehave an ablatiue caſe by the figure Synecdoche, and ſomtime a genitiue, and ſomtime an accuſatiue, after ſuch maner as Poets vſe to ſpeake.
Diuers caſes after one verbe. Borowed from the latin.One and the ſame verbe, in diuers reſpects, or by diuers rules, may hauehave diuers caſes, as a double datiue caſe, an accuſatiue caſe, an ablatiue caſe abſolute, the ablatiue caſe of the inſtrument, and ſuch like, whereof in the Latin grammar there is this example: Dedit mihi veſtem pignori, te praeſente, propria manu, He gaue me a garment to pledge, you being preſent, with his owne hand.
The Conſtruction of verbs paſſiues, or what caſe they will gouerne.
An ablatiue after paſſiues, and ſometime a datiue. The participles of verbes paſſiues, hauehave more often a datiue, thē an ablatiue.A Verbe paſſiue will hauehave after him an ablatiue caſe with a prepoſition, or ſomtime a datiue of the doer: as, Virgilius legitur à me, Virgil is read of me. Tibi fama petatur, Let fame be ſought after by thee.
The examples applied.In this rule are two examples, whereof in the firſt, Virgilius legitur à me, the verbe paſſiue legitur doth gouerne the ablatiue caſe of the doer me, with the prepoſition à, by this rule.
In the ſecond example, Tibi fama petatur, the verbe paſſiue petatur doth gouerne the word tibi the datiue caſe of the doer, by this rule.
How theſe paſſiues and ſuch like, may be turned by the actiues.And this ablatiue or datiue ſhall be turned into the nominatiue caſe, and the nominatiue into the accuſatiue, if the ſentence be turned by the actiue voice: as, Ego lego Virgilium, I read Virgill, where me the ablatiue caſe in the ſentence of the rule before, is héere turned into the nominatiue ego, and the paſſiue legitur, into the actiue lego, and the nominatiue caſe Virgilius into the accuſatiue caſe Virgilium.
Verbes paſſiues may hauehave other caſes by the rules of their actiues.Petas tu famam, Seeke thou fame, where tibi the datiue caſe in the former rule is turned into the nominatiue tu, the paſſiue petatur into the actiue petas, and the nominatiue fama, into the accuſatiue famam, by this rule.
Theſe fiue verbs called neuter paſſiues, will hauehave ſuch conſtruction as paſſiues by the firſt rule had: vapulo, to be beaten, vaeneo, to be ſould, liceo, to be ſet at a price, fio, to be made, exulo, to be baniſhed.
The conſtruction of gerunds, or how they are vſed, and what caſes they gouerne.
The caſe of gerundes.GErundes will hauehave ſuch caſes, as the verbes that they come of: as, Ocium ſcribendi literas, Leiſure to write letters. Ad conſulendum tibi, To counſaile thee.
The examples applied.This rule hath two examples, the firſt is Ocium ſcribendi literas, where the gerund ſcribendi doth gouerne literas in the accuſatiue caſe, bicauſe that the verbe ſcribo whereof it commeth, will hauehave an accuſatiue caſe by the rule of verbes tranſitiues, &c.
Ad conſulendum tibi, in this example the gerund …ſulendum hath the datiue caſe tibi, bicauſe conſulo the verb wherof he commeth will hauehave a datiue caſe in this ſignification, by the rule of verbes of giuing or reſtoring, &c.
The gerund in Di to be vſed after certaine ſubſtantiues.When the Engliſh of the infinitiue moode commeth after any of theſe nounes ſubſtantiues,This rule borowed from the latin is ſhorter thus. The gerund in di is put after certain ſubſtantiues, and certaine adiectiues. ſtudium, deſire, cauſa, cauſe, tempus, time, gratia, cauſe, ocium, leiſure, occaſio, occaſion, libido, lust, ſpes, hope, opportunitas, fit occaſion, voluntas, will, modus, maner, ratio, reaſon, geſtus, geſture, ſatietas, fulnes, poteſtas, power, licentia, leaue, conſuetudo, custome, conſilium, counſaile, vis, force, norma, a rule, amor, louelove, cupido, deſire, locus, place, and others like, if the verbe ſhould be of the actiue voice, it ſhall be made by the gerund in di, as when I ſay Ocium ſcribendi, leiſure to write, héere in the Engliſh to write, the Engliſh of the infinitiue moode to write, commeth after the ſubſtantiue leiſure, in Latin ocium, and therefore it is put in the gerund in di, by this rule, and ſo of the reſt.
The gerund in di, after adiectiues. Sometime the genitiue caſe plurall, is put after the gerund in di. The examples applied. Sometime the infinitiue moode is put after Subſtantiues & adiectiues, in ſtead of the gerund in di. Borowed from the latin. The gerund in do. The example applied.And the ſame gerund in di, is vſed alſo after certaine adiectiues: as, Cupidus viſendi, deſirous to go ſee, Certus eundi, determined to go. Peritus iaculandi. skilfull in darting, Gnarus bellandi, cunning in warring.
In all theſe fower examples, after theſe adiectiues, cupidus, Certus, Peritus, Gnarus, theſe words Viſendi, Eundi, Iaculandi, Bellandi, are put in the gerund in di, by this rule.
The gerund in do.
WHen you hauehave the Engliſh of the participle of the preſent tenſe, with this ſign of or with, comming after a noune adiectiue, it ſhall in Latine making be put in the gerund in do, as, Defeſſus ſum ambulando, I am weary of walking, héere in this ſentence is the engliſh of the participle of the preſent tenſe walking, with this ſigne of before it, comming after the adiectiue wearie, and therefore is the ſaid engliſh of the participle of the preſent tenſe with of before it, as namely, of walking, in Latin turned into the gerund in do, faieng, defeſſus ſum ambulando, I am wearie of walking, by this rule.
An other rule for the gerund in do.Alſo the engliſh of the participle of the preſent tenſe, comming without a ſubſtantiue, with this ſign in or by, before him, ſhall in Latin making be put in the gerund in do: as, Caeſar dando, ſubleuando, ignoſcendo, gloriam adeptus eſt, Caeſar by giuing, by helping, by forgiuing, got praiſe and renoume. In apparando totum hunc conſumunt diem, They ſpend this whole day in making readie.
The examples applied.Héere are two examples in this rule, wherof the firſt is Caeſar dando, ſubleuando, ignoſcendo, gloriam adeptus eſt, in the which example being Engliſhed, there is in thrée places the Engliſh of the participle of the preſent tenſe put alone without a ſubſtantiue with this ſigne by, before it, as namely, by giuing, by helping, by forgiuing, and therefore in the Latin it is turned into the gerund in do, ſaieng, dando, ſubleuando, ignoſcendo, by this rule.
In the ſecond example, In apparando totum hunc conſumunt diem, héere in this ſentence being Engliſhed, as appéereth before in the rule, there is the Engliſh of the participle of the preſent tenſe ſet alone without a ſubſtantiue, with this ſigne in before it, namely thus, in preparing or making ready, and therfore in Latin it is made by the gerund in do, apparando, by this rule.
The gerund in do vſed either without a prepoſition, or elſe with certaine prepoſition.And the ſame gerund in do, is vſed either without a prepoſition, or elſe after one of theſe prepoſitions, A, ab, de, ex, cum, in: as, Deterrentà bibendo, they feare them from drinking. Ab amando, from louing. Cogitat de edendo, he thinketh vponupon eating. Ratio bene ſcribendicum loquendo coniuncta eſt, the way to write well is ioined with ſpeaking.
The examples applied.In this rule are foure examples, in the firſt of the which deterrent à bibendo, the gerund in do, bibendo, is vſed after the prepoſition a, by this rule.
Ab amando, in this ſecond example the gerund in do, amando, is vſed with the prepoſition ab, by this rule.
In the third example, cogitat de edendo, the gerund edendo is vſed with the prepoſition de by this rule.
In the fourth example, Ratio bene ſcribendi cum loquendo coniuncta eſt, the gerund loquendo is vſed with the prepoſition cum by this rule. And of the gerund in do vſed without a prepoſition, you had an example before in this ſentence, Caeſar dando, &c.
The gerund in dum.
The gerund in Dum.THe Engliſh of the infinitiue moode comming after a reaſon, and ſhewing the cauſe of the reaſon, may be put in the gerund in dum: as, The example applied.Dies mihi vt ſatis ſit ad agendū, vereor, I feare that a whole day wil not be enough for me to do my buſines, in the Engliſh of this ſentence or reaſon there commeth the Engliſh of the infinitiue mood, namely, to do my buſines, and ſheweth the cauſe of the reaſon, and therfore it is in Latin put in the gerund in dum, agendum, by this rule. But this example more properly belongeth vntounto the next rule, yea and the rule it ſelfe is more hard then that yoong beginners can eaſily vnderſtand the meaning of the ſame.
An other rule for the gerund in dum.The gerund in dum is vſed after one of theſe prepoſitions, Ad, ob, propter, inter, ante: as, Ad capiendum hoſtes, to take the enimies. Ob, vel propter redimendum captiuos, for to redeeme the priſoners. Inter coenandum, whileſt they are at ſupper. Ante damnandum, before they are condemned.
The examples applied.This rule hath fower examples, in the firſt the gerund in dum, capiendum is vſed after the prepoſition ad, by this rule.
In the ſecond the gerund redimendum is vſed after the prepoſitions ob vel propter, by this rule.
In this third the gerund coenandum, is vſed after the prepoſition inter, by this rule.
In the fourth the gerund damnandum, is vſed after the prepoſition ante, by the ſame rule.
An other rule for the gerund in dum.And when ye hauehave this Engliſh must, or ought in a reaſon, where it ſéemeth to be made by the verbe oportet, it may be put in the gerund in dum, with this verbe eſt ſet imperſonally: and then the word which in the Engliſh ſéemeth to be the nominatiue caſe, ſhall be put in the datiue: as, abeundum eſt mihi, I must go hence.
The example applied.In this reaſon or ſentence in Engliſh we hauehave this word must before the word go, whereby it may ſéeme that it is in latin to be made by the verbe oportet, and therefore it is put in the gerund in dum, abeundum, with this verbe eſt ſet imperſonally, and the word I which in the Engliſh, when I ſay, I must go hence, ſéemeth to be the nominatiue caſe, is in Latin turned into the datiue caſe mihi, by this rule, ſaieng abeundum eſt mihi.
A note borowed from the latin.Here is to be noted, that ſomtimes theſe gerunds are turned into adiectiues called gerundiues, bicauſe they come of the gerunds, and when they be thus turned, you ſhall know them by this, that they gouern no caſe, but agrée with their ſubſtātiues in caſe, gender and number, like as other adiectiues do.
Supines, and of their conſtruction, and how they are vſed.
The caſe of ſupines.SVpines do gouerne ſuch caſe, as the verbes that they come of: as, Auditum poëtas, to heare poëts. In which example the firſt ſupine auditum doth gouern poëtas in the accuſatiue caſe by this rule, bicauſe the verbe audio, of which he commeth will hauehave an accuſatiue caſe by the rule of verbe tranſitiues, &c.
The ſignification of the first ſupine.The firſt ſupine hath his actiue ſignification, ſauing that in ſome fewe verbes it ſignifieth paſſiuely: And it is put after verbes and participles that betoken moouing to a place: as Ego cubitum, I go to rest. Spectatum admiſſi, riſum teneatis amici? my friends, being let in to behold ſuch a ſight, can you forbeare laughing?Sometime the infinitiue moode is put after verbes in ſtead of the first ſupine.
The examples applied.This rule hath two examples, in the firſt Eo cubitum, the ſupine cubitum is put after eo a verbe of moouing or betokening moouing by this rule.
Spectatum admiſſi, &c. In this ſecond example the ſupine ſpectatum is put after the participle admiſſi, by this rule.
A note borowed from the latine.Where note that ſometime the firſt ſupine is put abſolutely or alone after the verbe eſt, and doth not follow anie other verbe betokening any moouing at all: as many Grammarians do note, as Ceſſatum eſt ſatis. But vnderunder their correction, I would ſay that in ſuch maner of ſpeaking it were rather a verbe imperſonall, then a ſupine.
The latter ſupine.The latter ſupine hath his paſſiue ſignification, and is put after nounes adiectiues: as dignus, woorthy, indignus, vnwoorthy, turpis, filthy, foedus, foule, procliuis, readie, facilis, eaſie, odioſus, hateful, mirabilis, woonderfull, optimus, best, & ſuch like: as facile factu, eaſie to be done. Turpe dictu, vnhoneſt to be ſpoken.
The examples applied.Héere are two examples, whereof in the firſt Facile factu, the latter ſupine factu ſignifieng paſſiuely, is put after the adiectiue facile, by this rule.
In the ſecond example Turpe dictu, the latter ſupine dictu, ſignifieng paſſiuelie is put after ye adiectiue turpe, by this rule.
The latter ſupine turned into the infinitiue moode paſſiue.And this latter ſupine after nounes adiectiues may be turned into the infinitiue moode paſſiue, as, Facile fieri, Eaſie to be done, Turpe dici, vnhoneſt to be ſpoken.
The Time, or in what caſe words betokening time, ſhall be put after verbes.
Part of time.NOunes that betoken part of time, be commonly put in the ablatiue caſe: as, Nocte vigilas, Thou watcheſt in the night. Luce dormis, Thou ſleepest in the day.
The examples applied.This rule hath two examples. The firſt is Nocte vigilas, where this word nocte ſignifieng part of time, or taken for part of the night, is in conſtruction put in the ablatiue caſe after the verbe vigilas, by this rule.Sometimes, but very ſeldome, the word betokening part of time is put in the accuſatiue caſe.
In the ſecond example, Luce dormis, the word luce ſignifieng part of time, or taken for part of the day, is in conſtruction put in the ablatiue caſe after the verbe dormis, by this rule.
Continuall terme of time.But nounes that betoken continuall terme of time, without intermiſſion or ceaſing, be commonly vſed in the accuſatiue caſe band ſometime in the ablatiue caſe.: as, Sexaginta annos natus eſt, He is threeſcore yeeres old. Hyemem totam ſtertis, Thou ſleepest the whole winter.
The examples applied.There be two examples in this rule. The firſt is, Sexaginta annos natus eſt, in the which this word annos betokening continuall terme of time, is in conſtruction ſet after the verbe natus eſt in the accuſatiue caſe, by this rule.
In the ſecond example, Hyemem totam ſtertis, this word hyemem betokening continuall terme of time, or being taken for the whole winter, is in conſtruction put in the accuſatiue caſe after the verbe ſtertis, by this rule.
Space of place, or in what caſe a word that ſignifieth ſpace of place, ſhall be put after verbes.
Space of place. Sometime the ſpace of place is put in the genitiue caſe, but then this word ſpacium, or iter, or ſome ſuch like is vnderstood.NOunes that betoken ſpace betwéene place and place, be commonly put in the accuſatiue caſe, and ſomtimes alſo in the ablatiue: as, Pedem hinc ne diſceſſeris, Go thou not a foote from this place.
In this one example, the word pedem betokening ſpace of place, is in conſtruction put after the verbe diſceſſeris in the accuſatiue caſe, by this rule.
