p. 1ACCEDENCE Commenc't GRAMMAR.

LAtin Grammar is the Art of right understanding, speaking, or writing Latine, observd from them who have spoken or written it best.

Grammar hath two Parts: Right-wording, usually call'd Etymologie, and right-joyning of words, or Syntaxis.

Etymologie, or Right-wording, teacheth what belongs to every single word or part of Speech.

p. 2Of Latin SPEECH are Eight General Parts:

Declin'd.

Noun

Pronoun

Verb

Participle

Undeclin'd.

Adverb

Conjunction

Preposition

Interjection

DEclin'd are those Words which have divers endings; as Homo a man, hominis of a man; Amo I love, amas thou lovest. Undeclin'd are those words which have but one ending, as bene well, cum when, tum then.

Nounes, Pronounes, and Participles, are declin'd with Gender, Number, and Case; Verbs, as hereafter in the Verb.

Of Genders.

GEnders are three, the Masculin, Feminin, and Neuter. The Masculin may be declin'd with this Article Hic, as hic Vir a Man; The Feminin with this Article Haec, as haec Mulier a Woman; The Neuter with this Article Hoc, as hoc S…um a Stone.

Of the Masculin are generally all Nounes belonging to the Male kind, as also the Names of Rivers, Months, and Winds.

Of the Feminin, all Nounes belonging to the Female kind, as also the names of Countries, Cities, Trees, some few of the two latter excepted: Of Cities, as Agragas and Sulmo, Masculin; Argos, Tibur, Praen…ste, and such as end in um, p. 3Neuter; Anxur both. Of Trees, Oleaster and Spinus, Masculin; but Oleaster is read also Feminin, Cic. Verr. 4. Acer, siler, suber, thus, robur, Neuter.

And of the Neuter are all Nouns, not being proper Names, ending in um, and many others.

Some Nouns are of two Genders, as hic or haec dies a Day; and all such as may be spoken both of Male and Female, as hic or haec Parens a Father or Mother; some be of three, as hic haec and hoc Pelix Happy.

Of Numbers.

WOrds Declin'd have two Numbers, the Singular, and the Plural. The Singular speaketh but of one, as Lapis a Stone. The Plural of more then one, as Lapides Stones; yet sometimes but of one, as Athenae the City Athens, Literae an Epistle, aedes aedium a House.

Note that some Nounes have no Singular, and some no Plural, as the nature of thir signification requires. Some are of one Gender in the Singular; of another, or of two Genders in the Plural, as reading will best teach.

Of Cases.

NOunes, Pronounes, and Participles are declin'd with six Endings, which are called Cases, both in the Singular and Plural Number. The Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, Vocative, and Ablative.

The Nominative is the first Case, and properly nameth the thing, as Liber a Book.

The Genitive is Englisht with this Sign of, … Libri of a Book.

The Dative with this Sign to, or for, as Libro to or for a Book.

p. 4The Accusative hath no sign.

The Vocative calleth or speaketh to, as O Liber O Book, and is commonly like the Nominative.

But in the Neuter Gender the Nominative, Accusative, and Vocative, are like in both Numbers, and in the Plural end alwayes in a.

The Ablative is Englisht with these Signs, in, with, of, for, from, by, and such like, as d… Libro of or from the Book, pro Libro for the Book And the Ablative Plural is alwayes like the Dative.

Note, that some Nouns have but one ending throughout all Cases, as Frugi, nequam, nihil; and all words of number from three to a hundred, a… quatuor four, quinque five, &c.

Some have but one, some two, some three Cases only, in the Singular or Plural, as use will best teach.

Of a Noune.

A Noune is the Name of a thing, as Manus a Hand, Do… a House, Bonus Good, Pulch…r Fair.

Nounes be Substantives or Adjectives.

A Noun Substantive is understood by it self, as homo a man, domus a house.

An Adjective, to be well understood, requireth a Substantive to be joyn'd with it, as bonus good, parvus little, which cannot be well understood unless somthing good or little be either nam'd, as bonus vir a good man, parvus puer a little boy; or by use understood, as honestum an honest thing, boni good men.

p. 5The Declining of Substantives.

NOunes Substantive have five Declensions or forms of ending thir Cases, chiefly distinguisht by the different ending of thir Genitive Singular.

The first Declension.

THe first is when the Genitive and Dative singular end in ae, &c. as in the Example following.

This one word familia joyn'd with pater, mater, filius, or filia, endeth the Genitive in as, a… pater familias, but somtimes familiae: Dea, mu…, equa, liberta, make the Dative and Ab…ative plural in abus; filia and nata in is or abus.

The first Declension endeth alwayes in a, unless in some words deriv'd of the Greek: and is always of the Feminin Gender, except in names attributed to men, according to the general Rule, or to Stars, as Cometo, Planeta.

Nounes, and especially proper Names derived of the Greek, have here three endings, as, es, e, and are declin'd in some of thir Cases after the Greek form. Aeneas, acc. Aenean, voc Aene…. Anchises, acc. Anchisen, voc Anchise or Anchisa, …bl. Anchise. Penelope, Penelopes, Penelope, Penelopen, voc. abl. Penelope. Somtimes following the Latin, as Marsya, Philocteta, for as and es; Philoctetam, Eriphylam, for an and en. Cic.

p. 6The second Declension.

THe second is when the Genitive Singular endeth in i, the Dative in o, &c.

Note that when the Nominative endeth in us, the Vocative shall end in e, as Dominus ô Domine, except Deus ô Deus. And those following, Ag…us, lucus, vulgus, populus, chorus, f…vius, e or us.

When the Nominative endeth in ius, if it be the proper name of a man, the Vocative shall end in i, as Georgius ô Georgi; hereto add filius ô fili, and genius ô geni.

All Nounes of the Second Declension are of the Masculin or Neuter Gender; of the Masculin, such as end in ir, or, or us, except some few, humus, domus, alvus, and others deriv'd of the Greek, as methodus, antidotus, and the like, which are of the Feminin, and some of them somtimes also Masculin, as atomus, phaselus; to which add f…us the name of a disease, grossus, pampinus, and rubus.

Those of the Neuter, except virus, pelagus, and vulgus (which last is sometimes Masculin) end all in …, and are declin'd as followeth:

Some Nouns in this Declension are of the first Example Singular, of the second Plural, as p. 7Pergamus the City Troy, Plur. Haec Pergama; and some names of hills, as Maenalus, Ismarus, haec Isma ra; So also Tartarus, and the Lake Avernus; others are of both, as sibilus, jocus, locus, hi lo…i, or haec loca. Some are of the Second Example Singular, of the first Plural, as Argos, Caelum, Plur. hi Caeli; others of both, as Rastrum, Capistrum, Filum, Fraenum; Plur. fraeni or fraena. Nundinum, & Epulum, are of the first Declension Plural, Nundinae, Epulae; Balneum of both, balneae or balnea.

Greek proper names have here three endings, os, on, and us long from a Greek Diphthong. Haec Delos, hanc Delon. Hoc Ilion. The rest regular, Hic panthus, ô panthu, Virg.

The third Declension.

THe third is when the Genitive singular endeth in is, the Dative in i, the Accusative in om and somtimes in im, the Ablative in e, and somtimes in i, the Nom. Acc. Voc. Plural in es, the Genitive in um and somtimes in ium, &c.

p. 8This third Declension, with many endings, hath all Genders, best known by dividing all Nounes hereto belonging into such as either increase one syllable long or short in the Geni…ive, or increase not at all.

Such as increase not in the Genitive are generally Feminin, as Nubes nubis, Caro carnis.

Except such as end in er, as hic venter ventris, and these in is following, natalis, aqualis, lienis, …rbis, callis, caulis, collis, follis, mensis, ensis, fustis, funis, panis, penis, crinis, ignis, cassis, fascis, to…is, …iscis, unguis, vermis, vectis, postis, a…is, and the Compounds of assis, as centussis.

But Canalis, finis, clunis, restis, sentis, amnis, cor…is, linter, torquis, anguis, hic or haec; To these add …epres.

Such as end in e are Neuters, as mare, rete, and two Greek in es, as hippomanes, cacoëthes.

Nounes encreasing Long.

Nounes encreasing one syllable long in the Genitive are generally Feminin, as haec pietas pietatis, virtus virtutis.

Except such as end in ans Masculin, as dodrans, quadrans, sextans; in ens, as oriens, torrens, bidens a pick-axe.

In or, most commonly deriv'd of Verbs, as …or, clamor; In o, not thence deriv'd, as ternio, senio, ser…o, temo, and the like.

And these of one syllable, sal, sol, ren, splen, as, bes, pes, mos, flos, ros, dens, mons, pons, sons, grex.

And words deriv'd from the Greek in e…, as lichen; in er, as crater; in as, as adamas; in es, as lebes; to these, hydrops, thorax, phaenix.

But scrobs, rudens, stirps the body or root of a tree, and calx a heel, hic or haec.

p. 9Neuter, these of one syllable, mel, sel, lac, sar, ver, cor, aes, vas vasis, os ossis, os oris, rus, thus, jus, crus, pus. And of more syllables in al and ar, as capital, laquear, but halec hoc or haec.

Nounes encreasing Short.

Nounes encreasing short in the Genitive are generally Masculin, as hic sanguis sanguinis, lapis lapidis.

Except, Feminin all words of many syllables ending in do or go, as dulcedo, compago, arbor, hyems, cuspis, pecus, pecudis: These in ex, forfex, carex, tomex, supellex: In ix, appendix, histrix, co…endix, filix. Greek Nounes in as and is, as lampas, iaspis: To these add chlamys, bacehar, syndon, icon.

But margo, cinis, pulvis, adeps, forceps, pumex, vamex, imbrex, obex, silex, cortex, onix and sardonix, hic or haec.

Neuters are all ending in a as problema, in en, except hic pecten, in ar as jubar, in er these, verber, iter, uber, cadaver, zinziber, laser, cicer, siser, piper, papaver; somtimes in ur, except hic furfur, in us as onus, in ut as caput; to these, marmor, aequor, ador.

Greek proper names here end in as, an, is and eus, and may be declin'd some wholly after the Greek form, as Pollas pallados palladi pallada; others in some Cases, as Atlas, acc. Atlanta, voc. Atla. Goramas, plur. garamantes, acc. garàmantas. Pan panos pana Phyllis phyllidos, voc phylli, plur. Phyll…des, acc. phyllidas. Tethys, tethyos, acc. tethyn, voc. tethy. Neapolis, neapolios, acc. neapolin. Paris, paridos or parios, acc. parida or parin. Orpheus orpheos orphei orphea orpheu. But Names in eus borrow somtimes thir Genitive of the Second p. 10Declension, as Erechtheus, erech…hei. Cic. Achilles or Achilleus, Achillei; and somtimes their Accusative in on or um, as Orpheus Orpheon, Theseus Theseum, Perseus Perseum, which somtimes is formd after Greek words of the First Declension Latin, Perseus or Perses, Persae Persae Persen Persae Persa.

The fourth Declension.

THe fourth is when the Genitive Singular endeth in us, the Dative Singular in ui, and somtimes in u, Plural in ibus and sometimes in ubus.

The fourth Declension hath two endings, us and u; us generally Masculin, except some few, as haec manus, ficus the fruit of a tree, acus, porticus, tribus: but penus and specus hic or haec. U of the Neuter, as gelu, genu, veru; but in the Singular most part defective.

Proper Names in os and o long pertaining to the Fourth Declension Greek, may belong best to the fourth in Latin, as Androgeos, Gen. Androgeo, Acc. Androgeon. Hic Athos, hunc Atho, Virg. Haec Sappho, Gen. Sapphus, Acc. Sappho. Better Authors follow the Latin form. as Dido didonis didonem. But Iesus Iesu Iesu Iesum Iesu Iesu.

The fifth Declension.

THe fifth is when the Genitive and Dative Singular end in ei, &c.

All Nounes of the fifth Declension are of the Feminin Gender, except dies hic or haec, and his Compound meridies hic only.

Some Nounes are of more Declensions then one, as vas vasis of the third in the Singular, of the second in the Plural vasa vasorum. Colus, laurus, and some others, of the second and fourth. Saturnalia saturnalium or saturnaliorum saturnalibus, and such other names of feasts, Poēmata poēmatum, Poëmatis or poëmatibus, of the second and third Plural. Plebs of the third and fifth, plebis or plebei.

The declining of Adjectives.

A Noun Adjective is declin'd with three Terminations, or with three Articles.

An Adjective of three terminations is declin'd like the first and second Declension of Substantives joyn'd together after this manner.

In like manner those in er and ur, as sacer sacra sacrum, satur satura saturum: but unus, totus, solus, alius, alter, ullus, uter, …ith their compounds p. 12Neuter, uterque, and the like, make thir Genitive Singular in ins, the Dative in i, as Unus una unum, Gen. unius, Dat. uni, in all the rest like bonus, save that olius maketh in the Neuter Gender aliud, and in the Dative alii, and somtimes in the Genitive.

Ambo and duo be thus declin'd in the plural only. Nom. Voc. Ambo ambae ambo.

Gen. amborum ambarum amborum.

Dat. Abl. Ambobus ambabus ambobus.

Acc. ambos or ambo, ambas ambo.

Adjectives of three Articles have in the Nominative either one ending, as hic, haec, & hoc felix; or two, as hic & haec tristis, & hoc triste; and are declin'd like the Third Declension of Substantives, as followeth.

p. 13There be also another sort which have in the Nominative Case three Terminations and three Articles, as hic acer, hic & haec acris, hoc acre. In like manner be declined equester, volucer, and some few others, being in all other cases like the Examples beforegoing.

Comparisons of Nounes.

ADjectives, whose signification may increase or be diminish't, may form Comparison, whereof there be two degrees above the positive word it self, The Comparative, and Superlative.

The Positive signifieth the thing it self without comparing, as durus hard.

The Comparative exceedeth his Positive in signification, compar'd with some other, as durior harder; and is formd of the first Case of his Positive that endeth in i, by putting thereto or and us, as of duri, hic & haec durior, & hoc durius; of dulci, dulcior dulcius.

The Superlative exceedeth his Positive in the highest degree, as durissimus hardest; and it is formd of the first case of his Positive that endeth in is, by putting thereto simus, as of duris durissimus, dulcis dulcissimus.

If the Positive end in er, the Superlative is formd of the Nominative case by putting to rimus, as pulcher pulcherrimus. Like to these are vetus veterrimus, maturus maturimus; but dexter dextimus, and sinister sinisterior sinistimus.

All these Nouns ending in lis make the Superlative by changing is into limus, as humilis, sunilis, facilis, gracilis, agilis, docilis docillimus.

All other Nounes ending in lis do follow p. 14the general Rule, as utilis utilissimus.

Of these Positives following are formd a different sort of Superlatives; of superus, supremus and summus; inferus, infimus and imus; exterus, extimus and extremus; posterus postremus.

Some of these want the Positive, and are form'd from Adverbs; of intra, interior intimus, ultra ulterior ultimus, citra citerior citimus, priden… prior primus, prope propior proximus.

Others from Positives without Case, as nequam nequior nequissimus.

Some also from no Positive, as ocior ocissimus. Some want the Comparative, as novus novissimus, sacer sacerrimus.

Some the Superlative, as senex senior, juvenis junior, adol…scens adolescentior.

Some ending in us, frame thir Comparative as if they ended in e…s, benevolus, maledicus, magnificus magnificentior magnificentissimus.

These following are without Rule, Bonus melior optimus, Malus pejor pessimus, Magnus major maxi…, Porvus minor minimus; Multus plurimus, multa plurima, multum plus plurimum.

If a Vowel come before us, it is compared with magis and maximè, as pius, magis pius, maximè pius; idoneus, magis and maximè idoneus. Yet some of these follow the general Rule, as Assiduus assiduissimus, strenuus strenuior, exiguus exiguissimus, tenuis tenuior tenuissimus.

Of a Pronoun.

A Pronoun is a part of Speech that standeth for a Noun Substantive, either at present or before spoken of, as ille he or that, hic this, qui who.

p. 15There be Ten Pronounes, Ego, tu, su…, ille, pse, iste, hic, is, qui and quis, besides their Co… pounds, egomet, t…e, hic…e, idem, quisnam, aliq…, and such others. The rest so call'd, a… …, …uus, suus, noster, vester, nostras, vestras, cuj… and cujas, are not Pronouns, but Adjectives …hence deriv'd.

Of Pronounes such as shew the thing present are called Demonstrotives, as ego, tu, hic; and such as refer to a thing antecedent or spoken of before are called Relatives, as qui who or which.

Quis, and often qui, because they ask a question, are called Interrogatives, with their Compounds ecquis, numquis.

Declensions of Pronouns are three.

Ego, tu, sui, be of the First Declension, and be thus declin'd.

From these three be deriv'd meus, tuus, suus, noster, vestor, nostras, vestras, (which are called p. 16Possessives) whereof the former five be declin'd like Adjectives of three Terminations, except that meus in the Vocative Case maketh mi, m…, meum; Nostras, Vestras, with three Articles, as hic & haec nostras & hoc nostrate, vestrate. In other Case… according to Rule.

These three, ille, iste, ipse, be of the Second Declension, making thir Genitive singular in ius, their Dative in i; and the former two be declin'd like the Adjective alius, and the Third like unus before spoken of.

Sing.

Nom. ille illa illud, Gen. illius, Dat. illi.

Nom. iste ista istud, Gen istius, Dat. isti.

Nom. ipse ipsa ipsum, Gen ipsius, Dat. ipsi.

These four, hic, is, q… and quis, be of the third Declension, making thir Genitive singular in jus, with j consonant, and be declin'd after this manner.

Of iste and hic is compounded istic istaec, istoc or istuc. Acc. istunc istanc, istoc or istuc. Abl. istoc istac istoc. Plur. istaec only.

In like manner quivi…, quilibet, and quicunque the Compounds.

Sing. Nom. Quis, qua or quae, quid. Gen: &c. like qui. So quisquam, quisnam, Compounds.

Of Quis are made these Pronoun Adjectives, Cujus cuja cujum, whose: and hic & haec cujas and hoc cujato, of what Nation.

Quisquis is defective, and thus declin'd.

Of a Verb.

A Verb is a part of Speech, that betokeneth being, as Sum I am, or doing, as Laudo I praise: and is declin'd with Mood, Tense, Number and Person.

Moods.

THere be four Moods, which express the manner of doing: the Indicative, the Imperative, the Potential or Subjunctive, and the Infinitive.

The Indicative Mood sheweth or declareth, as Laude I praise.

The Imperative biddeth or exherteth, as Lauda praise thou.

The Potential or Subjunctive is Englisht with p. 18these Signs, may, …, might, would, could, should; Or without … … Indicative, if a Conjunction go … …llow. As Laudem. I may or …an prais… … … when I praised. Ca…, si prae… … … bewar'd if I ha… …

The … is englisht with this sign To, a… Laudare to praise.

Tenses.

THe… be three Tenses which express th… time of doing: The Present, the Preterit o… past, and the Future.

The Present Tense speaketh of the time tha… now is, as Laudo I praise.

The Preterit speaketh of the time past, and i… … by three degrees: the Preterimperfect, the Preterperfect, and the Preterpluperfect…

The Preterperfect speaketh of the time n… perfectly past, as Laudabam I praised or did praise.

The Preterperfect speaketh of the time perfectly past, as Laudavi I have praised.

The Preterpluperfect speaketh of the time mor… then perfectly past, as Laudaveram I had praised.

The Future Tense speaketh of the time to come as Laudabo I shall or will praise.

Persons.

THrough all Moods, except the Infinitive, there be three Persons in both Numbers, as Sing. Laudo I praise, laudas thou praisest, lauda… he praiseth; Plur. Laudamus we praise, laudati… ye praise, laudant they praise. Except some Verb… which are declin'd or form'd in the Third Person only, and have before them this sign, It; a… Taedet it irketh, oportet it behoveth, and are called Impersonals.

p. 19The Verb which betokeneth being, is properly this Verb Sum only, which is therefore call'd a Verb Substantive, and formd after this manner.

Indicative.

Pres. sing. I am. Sum, es, est, Plur. sumus, estis, sunt.

Pret. imp. I was. Eram, eras, erat, Pl. eramus, eratis, erant.

Pret. perfect I have been. Fui. fuisti, fuit, Plur. suimus, fuistis, fuerunt or fuere.

Pret. plup. I had been. Fueram, fueras, fuerat, Pl. fueramus, fueratis, fuerant.

Future. I shall or will be. Ero, eris, erit, Pl. erimus, eritis, erunt.

Imperative.

Pres. sing. I may O… can be. Sim, sis, sit, Pl. simus, sitis, sint.

Preter impers I might or could be. Essem or forem, es, et, Pl. essemus, esse tis, essent or sorent.

Preterperfect I might or could have been. Fuerim, ris, rit, Pl. rimus, ritis, rint.

p. 20Preterplup. with a conjunction. Si If I had been. Fuissem, es, et, Pl. emus, etis, ent.

Future Si If I shall be or shall have been. Fuero, ris, rit, Pl. rimus, ritis, rint.

Infinitive.

Pres. and preterimperf Esse, to be.

Preterperfect, & pret. pluper. Fuisse, to have or had been.

Future Fore, to be hereafter.

In like manner are form'd the Compounds: Absum, adsum, desum, obsum, praesum, prosum, possum; but possum somthing varies after this manner.

Indicat. Pres. Sing. Possum, potes, potest, Plur. possumus, potestis, possunt. The other are regular, pot…ram, potui, potuer…m, potero.

Imperative it wants.

Potent. Pres. Possim, &c. Preterimperfect, Possem.

Infin. Pres. Posse. Preterit. Potuisse.

Voices.

IN Verbs that betoken doing are two Voices, the Active and the Possive.

The Active signifieth to do, and always endeth in o, as Doceo, I teach.

The Passive signifieth what is done to one by another, and always endeth in or, as Doceor I am taught.

From these are to be excepted two sorts of p. 21Verbs. The first are called Neuters, and cannot take or in the Passive, as Curro I run, Sodeo I sit; yet signifie somtimes passively, as Vapulo I am beaten.

The second are call'd Deponents, and signifie actively, as Loquor I speak; or Neuters, as Glorior I boast: but are form'd like Passives.

Conjugations.

VErbs both Active and Passive have four Conjugations, or forms of declining, known and distinguisht by thir Infinitive Mood Active, which alwayes endeth in re.

In the first Conjugation, after a long, as Laudare to praise.

In the second, after e long, as habere to have.

In the third, after e short, as legere to read.

In the fourth, after i long, as audire to hear

In these four Conjugations, Verbs are declin'd or formd by Mood, …ense, Number, and Person, after these Examples.

Of Verbs Defective.

VErbs called Inceptives ending in sco, borrow thir Preterperfect Tense from the Verb whereof they are deriv'd, as tepesco tepui from tepeo, ingemisco ingemui from ingemo; as also these Verbs, cerno to see, vidi from video, sido sedi from sedeo, fero tuli from tulo out of use, in the Supine p. 35latum, tollo sussuli sublatum from suffero.

These want the Preterperfect Tense.

Verbs ending in asco, as puerasco; in isco, as satisco; in urio, except parturio, osurio: these also, vergo, ambigo, ferio, furo, polleo, nideo, have no Preterperfect Tense.

Contrary, these four, Odi, caepi, novi, memini, are found in the Preterperfect Tense only, and the Tenses thence deriv'd, as odi, oderam, oderim, odissem, odero, odisse, except memini, which hath memento mementote in the Imperative.

Others are defective both in Tense and Person, us Aio, ais, ait, Plur. aiunt. The Preterimperfect aiebam is intire. Imperative, ai. Potential, aia…, aiat, Plur. …iamus, aiant.

Of a Participle.

A Participle is a part of Speech, partaking with the Verb from whence it is deriv'd in Voice, Tense, and signification, and with a Noun Adjective in manner of Declining.

p. 36Participles are either of the Active or Passive Voice.

Of the Active Two. One of the Present Tense ending in ans, or ens, as laudans praising, habens, legens, audiens, and is declin'd like faelix, as hic haec and ho… habens, Gen. habentis, Dat habenti, &c. Docens docentis, &c. But from eo, euns, and in the compounds iens euntis, except ambiens ambientis. Note that some Verbs otherwise defective, have this Participle, as aiens, inquiens.

The other of the Future Tense is most commonly formd of the first Supine, by changing m into rus, as of laudatum laudaturus to praise or about to praise, habiturus, lecturus, auditurus; but some are not regularly formd, as of sectum secaturus, of jutum juvaturus, sonitum sonaturus, partum pariturus, argutum arguiturus, and such like; of sum, futurus: This, as also the other two Participles following are declin'd like bonus.

This Participle, with the Verb Sum, affordeth a second Future in the Active Voice, as laudaturus sum, es, est, &c. as also the Future of the Infinitive, as laudaturum esse to praise hereafter, futurum esse, &c.

Participles of the Passive Voice are also two, one of the Preterperfect tense, another o… the Future.

A Participle of the Preterperfect Tense, is formd of the latter Supine, by putting thereto s, as of laudatu laud…us praisd, of habitu habitus, lectu lectus, auditu audit….

This Par…iciple joyn'd with the Verb Sum, supplyeth the w…nt of a Pre…erperfect and Preterpluperfect …ense in the Indicative …od passive, and both them and the Future of the Potential; as also p. 37the Preterperfect and Preterpluperfect of the Infinitive, and with ire or fore the Future; as laudatus sum or sui I have been praisd, Plur. laudati sumus or suimus we have been praisd, laudatus eram or fueram, &c. Potential, laudatus sim or …uerim, laudatus essem or fuissem, laudatus ero or fuero, Infinit. laudatum esse or fuisse to have or had been praisd; laudatum ire or fore to be praisd hereafter.

Nor only Passives, but some Actives also or Neuters, besides thir own Preterperfect Tense, borrow another from this Participle; Caeno Caenavi and Caenatus sum, Juravi and …uratus, Potavi and potus sum, Titubavi and tituba…us, Car… car…i cassus sum, Prandeo prandi and pransus, Pateo p…tui and passus sum, Pla…eo placui pla…tus, Sues…o suevi suetus sum, Liber libuit and libitum est, Licet li…uit licitum, Pudet puduit puditum, Piget piguit pigitum, Taedet teduit p…rtaesum est, and this Deponent Me…eor m…rui and meritus sum

These Neuters following, like Passives, have no other Preterperfect Tense, but by this Participle, Gaudeo g…isus sum, fido fisus, audeo ausus, fio fact… soleo solitus sum.

These Deponents also form this Participle from Supines irregular; Labor lapsus, patior passus, perpetior perpessus, fateor fassus, conf…eor, diffiteor diffessus, gradior gressus, ingredior ingressus, fati…or fessus, metior mensus, utor usus, ordior to spin orditus, to begin orsus, nitor nisus and nixus, …iscor ultus, irascor iratus, reorratus, obliviscor oblitus, fruor fructus or fruitus, miserior misertus, tuor and tueor tuitus, loquor locutus, sequor secutus, experior expertus, paciscor pactus, …anciscor nactus, apiscor aptus, adipiscor adeptus, queror questus, proficiscor profectus, expergiscor experrectus, comminiscor commentus, nascor natus, morior mortuus, orior ortus sum.

p. 38A Participle of the Future Passive is formd of the Gerund in dum, by changing m into s, as of laudandum laudandus to be praisd, of habendum habendus, &c. And likewise of this Participle with the Verb Sum, may be formd the same Tenses in the Passive, which were form'd with the Participle of the Preterperfect Tense, as laudandus sum or fui, &c.

Infinit. Laudandum esse, or fore.

Of Verbs Deponent come Participles, both of the Active and Passive form, as loquor loquens locutus locuturus loquendus; whereof the Participle of the Preter Tense signifieth somtimes both Actively and Passively, as dignatus, testatus, meditatus, and the like.

Of an Adverb.

AN Adverb is a part of Speech ioynd with some other to explain its signification, as valdè probus very honest, benè est it is well, valdè doctus very learned, benè mane early in the morning.

Of Adverbs, some be of Time, as hodiè to day, Cras to morrow, &c.

Some be of Place, as Ubi where, ibi there, &c. And of many other sorts needless to be here set down.

Certain Adverbs also are compar'd, as Doct… learnedly, doctiùs doctissimè, fortiter fortiùs fortissimè, saepe saepius saepissime, and the like.

p. 39Of a Conjunction.

A Conjunction is a part of Speech, that joyneth Words and Sentences together.

Of conjunctions some be Copulative, as … and, quoque also, nec neither.

Some be Disjunctive, as aut or.

Some be Causal, as nom for, quia because, and many such like.

Adverbs when they Govern Mood and Tense, and joyn Sentences together, as cum, ubi, postquam, and the like, are rather to be call'd Conjunctions.

Of a Preposition.

A Preposition is a part of Speech most commonly, either set before Nouns in Apposition, as ad patrem, or joyn'd with any other words in Composition, as indoctus.

These six, di, dis, re, se, am, con, are not read but in Composition.

As Adverbs having Cases after them, may be call'd Prepositions, so Prepositions having none, may be counted Adverbs.

Of an Interjection.

AN Interjection is a part of Speech, expressing some passion of the mind.

Some be of sorrow, as heu, hei.

Some be of marvelling, as papae.

Some of disdaining, as vah.

Some of praising, as euge.
