[NOTE DU TRANSCRIPTEUR:

Vu que ce livre n'est qu'une partie d'un ouvrage beaucoup plus
important, nous avons cru bon de dévier des normes PG et conserver la
structure et numérotation des pages. Ceci a pour but de faciliter la
recherche des objets mentionnés à l'index, au lexique et la table des
matières. Les références aux pages 1 à 890 ne pourront pas être trouvées

AVIS DE L'ÉDITEUR.

L'auteur de cette Grammaire ayant apporté un soin extrême à marquer la
prononciation pár l'accent, on a dû s'attacher à reproduire
scrupuleusement les accents du texte original.

Mais il faut savoir que Du Guez, par un système particulier, emploie
l'accent placé _sous_ la voyelle. Nous avons reporté l'accent au-dessus,
conformément à l'usage moderne.

Cette substitution a d'autant moins d'inconvénient, que nulle part Du
Guez n'emploie l'accent supérieur; par conséquent, il n'y a point de
confusion à craindre. C'est un très-petit détail dont il suffit que le
lecteur soit averti.

A PROLOGUE FOR AN INTRODUCTORY.

The thynges that directely expressed maye nat be ought to be declared
Les choses qui a droit exprimer ne se peuuent doibuent estre declareez

by syncopation of sylence, by cause that by sylence one doth answer to
many
par sincopacion taciturne, pour ce que par  silence on respond a
pluisieurs

thynges. Syncopation is none other thyng but abreviation of length, and
prolixite
choses.  Sincopation nest  aultre chose  quabreuiacion de prolixite, et
prolixite

is superfluitie of wordes  in declarying a thyng.  Wherfore in all
est superfluite de paroles en declarant une chose. Pourquoy en toutes

workes  one ought to be shorte. We shall begynne this boke than in the
name
oeuures on doibt estre brief. Nous commencerons ce liure doncques ou
nom

of God  all   mighty  and shall ende it with the helpe of hym, procedyng
by the
de Dieu tout puissant et  lacheuerons  a     laide diceluy,    procedant
par le

counsayle of Orace, whiche is  as shorte as possible shalbe.
conseil   dOrace,   qui est le plus brief que possible sera.

Page 899

HERE FOLOWETH THE FYRST BOKE OF SEVYN RULES FOR TO REDE
AND TO PRONOUNCE FRENCHE TREWLY.

THE FYRST
is howe the fyve vowels, that is to saye _a_, _e_, _i_, _o_, and _v_,
shalbe sounded in redyng french.

Ye shal pronounce your _a_, as wyde open mouthed as ye can; your _e_,
as ye do in latyn, almost as brode as ye pronounce your _a_ in englysshe;
your _i_, as sharpe as can be; _o_, as ye do in englyssh, and _v_ after
the Skottes, as in this worde _gud_. These fyve uowels be consonantes
when they receyve nat their full sounde, as in this worde _jamais_ the
fyrst _a_ is a uowell, and the seconde is a consonant.

Example of _e_, as _déité_ and _magesté_, where bothe _ees_ of _deite_ be
uowels, and the fyrst of _magesté_ is a consonant and the seconde is a
uowell. Wherfore ye shall understande that the moste parte of _ees_ in
french be consonantes, save fewe with suche wordes as come out of latyn.
Example of
             me,   the,  hym,   that,   of,   the,  do,      to say,
to put,   oure,     your,

consonantes _me_, _te_, _se_,  _que_,  _de_, _le_,  _faire_, _dire_,
_mectre_, _nostre_, _vostre_,

wher is never a uowel. All the _ees_ that shalbe uowels in this present
boke shalbe marked as the dyptong is in latyn, thus _é_.



THE SECONDE RULE.

Also in redyng frenche ye shall leave the last letter of every worde
unsounde, endyng in _s_, _t_, and _p_, save of the same worde wherupon
ye do pause or rest, for if ye do pronounce every worde by hymselfe,
that is to say, restyng upon the same, ye ought for to pronounce and
sounde him thorowe. And if any word endyng with an _s_, have the next
worde folowyng begynning with a uowell, than shall ye sounde the said
_s_, lyke a _z_,

                      never   others

as in these wordes _jamais aultres_ ye shal rede _jamaiz aultre_, as it
were but one worde, but if the next worde commyng after the _s_ be a
consonant, than shall the said _s_ remayne unsounde, as in these wordes
_jamais narés_, (never shall ye have) the _s_ of _jamais_ shall nat be
sounde. Provyded alwayes, as is sayde before, that ye do nat pause nor
rest upon the worde, for so doyng ye must sounde it parfitely.



THE THYRDE RULE.

Whan one worde doth ende with a uowell, and the next folowyng after

Page 900

begyn with another, than the fyrste shalbe unsounde, as in these wordes,
but in you
    I me have  I the have  I him have
             _que en uous_,
ye shall rede _quen uous_, and _je me ay_,  _je te ay_, je le ay_,
ye shall rede                  _je may_,    _je tay_,   _je lay_,
and so of all suche lyke, excepte some wordes whiche be nat used in
Fraunce, as _tu as_, _thou hast_. Where bothe uowels must be sounde,
howbeit the Picardes sounde it after the sayd rule, sayeng _tas_ for
_tu as_, _tes_ for _tu es_, thou arte. And if ye fynde two _ees_
endynge and begynnynge a worde, ye shall leave the tone, as in these
         it is with the well
wordes, _il te est      bien_, ye shall rede _il test bien_.
And of _e_, and _a_, as in these wordes _que a_, but te, ye shall rede
_qua_. Of _e_, and _o_, as in these wordes, _que on_, but one, ye shal
rede _quon_. Of _a_ and _o_, as in these wordes, _pourra on_, may one,
ye shall rede _pourran_. And in lyke maner of all other of that
termynation.



THE FOURTH RULE.

An _s_, in the begynnynge of a worde hath his full sounde, as dothe
                                  wyse     wylde
appere by these wordes folowyng, _sage_, _sauuage_, _sapient_, _etc._
but in the myddes beynge eyther before a consonant or a uowell, shall be
sounded
                       I sayde  I dyd     I brake   I holde peace.
lyke a _z_, as in these wordes
                      _disoie_, _faisoie_, _brisoie_, _taisoie_, _etc._



THE FYFTH RULE.

Whan _st_ dothe come togider in a worde hauing a uowell before it, than
the sayde _s_ shall remayne unsounde, but it shall encreace the sounde
of
                                     to wast  to taste  to haste,
the sayde uowell, as in these wordes _gaster_, _taster_, _haster_,
ye shall rede                        _gaater_, _taater_, _haater_.

       myne hoste come agayne anone
 And _mon hoste reuenes tantost_: ye shall rede
     _mon hoote reuenes tantoot_: ye shall nevertheles except al those
that be nyghe the
            to protest  to shewe
latyn, as _protester_,  _manifester_, _contester_, to withstande: and
suche lyke, whiche must have the sayd _s_, well and parfitly sounded and
pronounced, for it is nat possyble to fynde a rule so generall and
infallible to serue for euery worde as was said aboue in the prologue.



THE SIXT RULE.

There is in french dyuers wordes, whiche for denotation or signifycation

Page 901

of plurarite dothe ende with an _s_, or with a _z_, for without he same
they be synguler nombre, as these wordes and such lyke
       worde  fyste     write      a lefe
       _mot_, _puing_, _escript_, _feullet_,
whiche be all synguler nombres: and if ye do adde a _z_, at the latter
ende of them, than are they plurell nombres, as _motz_, _puingz_,
_escriptz_, _feulletz_: and than shall ye nat sounde the letter before
the sayd _z_, redynge _mos_, _puins_, _feullés_. And lyke wise whan a
worde hath a _p_, or _b_, in the myddes endyng the syllable, ye shall
leaue them unsounde, as in these wordes and

             dewtie     dette     to write
suche lyke, _debuoir_, _debte_,  _escripre_: ye shal rede
            _deuoir_,  _det_,    _escrire_.
But whan they do begyn the worde or the syllable, than shall they be
pronounced,
                 putte away     debated    to breke
as these wordes, _deboute_,    _debatu_,  _debriser_, _etc._



THE SEVENTH RULE.

There is two maner of wordes harde for to be pronounced in french.
The fyrst is written with a double _ll_ whiche must be souned togider,
as
_lla_, _lle_, _lly_, _llo_, _llu_,  as in these wordes,
         gave     cutte     gader     lefe     bayly     fayle
       _bailla_, _tailla_, _ceulle_, _feulle_, _bally_, _fally_,

  white        knele      a tymer hamer   full of leaves
_moullet_,  _engenoullet_,  _mallot_,        _feullu_,    _houllu_.

The seconde maner harde to pronounce ben written with _gn_, before a
uowell, as _gna_, _gne_, _gni_, _gno_, _gnu_. As in these wordes
wan      dyd     blede    lyne     combe    vyne    scabbe   felowe
_gagna_,     _saigna_, _ligne_,  _pigne_, _uigne_,  _tigne_, _compagne_,

  swell     wanton      wanton
_laigne_,  _mignon_,  _mignarde_,

ye shal except many wordes that be so written and nat so pronounced,
endyng specially in _e_, as
     worthy    swanne   hyghe corage
    _digne_,  _cigne_,  _magnanime_, _etc._
They that can pronounce these wordes in latyn after the Italians maner,
as (_agnus_, _dignus_, _magnus_, _magnanimus_) have bothe the
understandyng and the pronouncynge of the sayde rule and of the wordes.
Ye shall fynde many suche among the nownes, uerbes, and adverbes that
herafter be folowynge, the whiche shall have the double _l_, thus
written _ll_, besyde the word and _gn_, besyde the tother.

Pronownes devyded by the sixe articles of declynation, both synguler and

dit, il (elle) se dit;_ where _me, te, se,_ serve

_Ta mere, ta seur, ta maistresse, ta cousine:_
_Sa mere, sa seur, sa maistresse, sa cousine:_

Example howe the pronowne masculyne shal be applyed as

FORMATYON OF THE INDICATYVE PRESENT TENSE.

Here after foloweth the maner, howe one shall make and fourme the
present of the indicatyve or shewyng mode, of the verbes folowyng.

The maner to fourme the present of the verbes infynityve mode, here
after folowynge, is: that all those that ende in _er_, puttyng the _r_
away, and makyng the _e_ a consonant, ye shall have the present of the
indicatyve, as in these wordes: _parler, appeller, appaiser, appuier_,
etc.; puttyng _r_ away, ye have: _parle, appelle, appaise; appuie:_
sayeng, _japelle, tu appelle, il appelle, nous appellons, vous appelles,
ilz appellent._ Ye shall neverthelesse except some verbes defectyves, as
_aller_ that do make, _je voy, tu vas_, in the present, and such lyke.

Also all suche as have _d_ in the last syllable, ye shall leave all the
letters commynge after the _d_, and shall adde _s_, or _z_ to it: ye
shall have the plurell nombre of them, as in those wordes _tordre,
mordre, prendre, attaindre, auaindre_, and such lyke, puttynge _s_ or
_z_ to the _d:_ ye shall have _tordz, mordz, prendz, attainz, auaindz:_
howbeit that ye shall nat sounde the sayde _d_, accordynge to the sixte
rule in the begynnyng of this worke.

Also all those that doth ende in _ir_, as _tenir, uenir_, with all them
that be dirivate of them: as _contenir, maintenir, soubstenir, preuenir,
reuenir, paruenir, deuenir_, and such lyke, must be all ended in _iens_,
as _tiens, viens, contiens,_

Page 931

_maintiens, soubstiens, preuiens, reuiens, paruiens, deuiens._ Sayeng:
_je tiens, tu tiens, il tient, nous tenons, vous tenes, ilz tienent._
There is another sorte endyng in _ir_, as _conuertir, assoupir,
appourir, attendrir, benir, bannir_, etc. the whiche chaungynge the _r_
in _s_, ye have _conuertis, assoupis, appouris, benis, bannis;_ sayeng:
_je bannis, tu bannis, il bannist, nous bannissons, vous bannisses, ilz
bannissent;_ and lykewyse of the tothers. Also there must be many
except, as _consentir, assentir, mourir, querir, dormir,_ whiche do make
their present: _je consens, je assens, je meurs, je quiers, je dors, tu
dors, il dort, nous dormons, vous dormes, ilz dorment._

Also there is two other that doth ende in oir, the tone hath an _a_, in
the penultyme syllable, as _auoir_ and _scauoir;_ whiche do make _ay_
and _scay_ in the present. The tother maner hath lyke termynation
without an _a_, as _apperceuoir, deuoir, pouruoir, concepuoir,
decepuoir,_ whiche do make their present, _japercoy, je doy, je pouruoy,
je concoy, je decoy;_ how be it _ualloir_ and _uolloir_ must be except
which do make in the present _je vaulz_, and _voulloir, je veulz, tu
ueulz, il ueult, nous uoulons, uous uoules, ilz ueulent._

Also there is another sorte endynge in _e_, in the infinitive, as

                                saying, _laughyng, redyng, frieng,
                                _dire,   rire,      lire,  frire,_ etc.

                               say, laugh, rede,  frye;
which make in their present,  _dis,  ris,  lis,   fris;_

sayeng, _je lis, tu lis, il list, nous lisons, vous lises, ilz lisent._

Also there ben others endyng in _ore_, as _clore_, shitte, with all his
compost, that is to saye, _disclore_, unshitte, _forclore_, shitte out,
etc. whiche do make in their present, _clos, declos, forclos,_ etc. and
for cause that rules ben infinites, and that they ben more necessary for
the teacher than for the lernar, I suppose that those above sayd ben
sufficyent for the indicative present.

It is to be noted that in the frenche tongue is but two cojugacions: the
first shal be discerned and knowen by the first persone plurel nombre of
the present in the shewynge moode, for where the sayd fyrst persone hath
no _s_ in the seconde sillable before his termination or ende, than it
is of the

we love, we have, we bette, we gyve, first, as in these verbes, _aymons,
auons, batons, donons,_ with such lyke; and where there is an _s_
begynning the last syllable of the forsayd fyrst persone, than it is of
the second, as in these verbes, _baisons, taisons, brisons, faisons,
disons, lisons, pensons,_ etc.

Page 932

Ye shal note lykewyse that in the indicative mode ye have for the moste
parte, foure preterites, that is to say, the imperfect, parfect and
indiffinitive with the plusperfect, whiche ben communely founde in all
verbes save in them that ben defectives, as it apereth by this verbe,
                I say,  thou sayest,
                _je dis,   tu dis,_

wherfore the preterit imperfyte is:
                I dyde say;
                _je disoie;_
the perfect,
                I sayde
               _je deis;_
the indiffynitive,
               I have sayd;
               _jay dit;_
the plusperfect,
               I had sayd.
               _jauoie dit._

Nevertheles for the most part there is no difference in englysshe
betwene the perf. and imperf. that is to say, betwene _I dyd say_, and
_I sayd:_ but bycause it is otherwise in french, I must use the said
difference.

OF THE FORMATION OF THE PRETERIT IMPARFYTE.

Ye shall forme the preterit imperf. in all verbes of both conjugations
by the fyrst person plurell nombre, turnyng this syllable _ons_, whiche
is in every verbe, in _oie_ for the fyrst conjugation: and _sons_ in
_soie_, in the second, soundynge _s_, lyke a _z_, as _zons, zoie._

Example for the fyrst conjugation as in this verbe _aymons_, whiche is
the fyrst person plurell nombre of _jaime_, chaungyng this syllable
_ons_ in _oie_, ye have _aimoie;_ of _auons_, ye have _auoie;_ of
_donnons, donnoie_.

Example for the seconde conjugation, as in these worde: _baisons_,
turnynge the last syllable, whiche is _sons_ in _soie_, ye have of
_brisons, brisoie;_ of _faisons_, _faisoie;_ of _disons, disoie;_ and
the seconde persone shall termyne in _ois_, the thirde in _oit;_ the
fyrst plurell nombre in _ions_ for the fyrst, and _sons_ for the
seconde, as it shall appere clerely in the conjugations herafter
folowing, and this rule is infallyble for all preterites imparfyte.

OF THE PRETERIT PARFYTE.

The preterit parfyte, as well of the fyrst as of the seconde conjugation
hath dyvers termynations, but there is four speciall, that is to say in
_us_, in _is_, in _ins_ and in _ay_.

Example of  _us:_ as _je bus, je fus, je leus, je congneus,_ etc.
        of  _is:_ as _je escripuis, je deis, je mis, je feis._
        of _ins:_ as _je tins, je prins, je uins, japrins._
        of  _ay:_ as _jaimay, je donnay, je baisay, je prisay,
                      je laissay._

Page 933

And so the verbe that ende in _us_ shalbe, _je bus, tu bus, il but, nous
bumes, vous butes, ilz burent._

Example of _is:_ as _je feis, tu feis, il feist, nous fismes,
                    vous feistes, ilz firent._
        of _ins:_ as _je uins, tu uins, il uint, nous uimmes,
                     uous uintes, ilz uindrent._
        of _ay:_ as _je donnay, tu donnas, il donna, nous donnasmes,
                     vous donnastes, ilz donnerent._

THE PRETERIT INDIFFYNITYVE.

Ye shall ever fourme the preterit indiffynityve with the thre persons,
both singuler and plurell nombres of this verbe (have) in the present
tensis, saying, _jay aymé_, I have loved; _tu as aymé_, thou hast loved;
_il a aymé, nous auons, uous aues, ilz ont aymé;_ and likewise of all
other verbes with the sayd have, as _jay dit, jay bu, jay lu, jay fait._

OF THE FORMATION OF THE PRETER PLUS PARFYTE.

The preterit most parfect is ever formed with the preterit imperfyte of
the foresayd verbe (have) as the indiffynityve is with the presente,
sayeng I have done, thou haddest done, that is to say, _jauoie dit,
jauoie aymé, jauoie bus, jauoie requis;_ and so thorowe the thre
persons, never chaungynge the terminacion of the verbe, as _jauoie dit,
tu auois dit, il auoit dit, nous auions dit, uous auies dit, ilz auoient
dit;_ and so of all other lyke.

THE FUTUR OF THE INDICATYVE.

Ye shall understande that all maner verbes in generall ben termyned in
their thre persons synguler and plurell nombres after this wayes: _ray,
ras, ra: rons, res, ront_, so that ye shall take the verbe in the
present, and put the _s_ away at the later ende, if it be of the seconde
or the fyrst conjugacion, and adde therto the foresayd terminacyon: as
in this worde _dis_, I saye; ye shall take awaye _s_ and adde _ray_,
sayeng _diray, diras, dira, dirons, dires, diront. Jaimeray, tu aymeras,
il aymera, nous aymerons, uous aymeres, ilz aymeront_. There be some
verbes must have more addicion, as _dors_, I slepe, whiche must have
_mi_, added unto it, sayeng, _dormiray_, and _boy, drinke,_ which
sygnify I drinke; ye shal nat say _boiray_, but _buueray_, I shall
drinke; and so of some other, as _doy_, ought; and _metre_, I put. How
be it they be all termined with the above sayd termination.

Page 934

OF THE IMPERATIVE, WHICHE SIGNIFYETH COMMAUNDYNG.

The imperative for the most parte is ever lyke the verbe present tensis
of the indicatyve moode, leavyng the fyrst persone and puttyng the
pronowne after the verbe, for it differs nat: save in the thyrde persone
synguler, and plurell nombre of some verbes, as _jay_, whiche doth make
in the thirde person synguler, _il a_; and the thirde persone of the
imperatyve is _quil ayt_, or _ayt cil_, ou _celuy_; and lykewyse of
_scay_. But of the moste parte of others, it is lyke the present,
leavyng the fyrst persone, whiche is nat in the imperatyve synguler
nombre, as in this verbe _jaime_, _tu aime_, _il aime_, _nous aimons_,
_uous aimes_, _ilz aiment_; which his present is that is a lyke in the
imperatyve, leavynge the fyrst persone, sayeng _aime tu_, _aime cil_,
_aimons nous_, _aimes uous_, _quilz aiment_; puttyng ever the pronowne
after the verbe.

The sayde imperatyve hath two futures, the tone affyrmatyve, and the
tother negatyve, whiche have evermore these frenche wordes going before
               do,      kepe,    se,
every person: _faitz_, _garde_, _voy_,
                     Se that thou speke;  loke that he move nat;
as in this example:  _Voy que tu parle_; _garde quil ne se meuue_;
_prenons garde que nous ne mouuons_, _que vous ne mouues_; _prenez garde
quilz ne se meuuent_; and lykewise of the affyrmative, leavyng this
worde _ne_.

THE OPTATYVE.

After the olde grammer was wonte to be all one with his preterit imperf.
but we shall make hym different from hym, puttyng before the verbe this
worde _oh_, or _je vous prie_, sayeng, _oh que je boiue_, _je te prie
que tu boiue_, etc.

The sayd optatyve hath thre preterites, that is to say, imperf.,
parfyte, and plusperf., puttynge alwayes _a ma uoullente_, or _plust a
Dieu_ before the verbe. The preterit imperf. is moost termyned in _usse,
inse_, and in _asse_, whiche may serve lykewyse for the present, as in
these verbes: _Pleust à Dieu que jaimasse_; _a ma uoullente que tu me
congneusse_; _pleust a Dieu que tu prinsses courage_. The parfyte is
moche lyke the preterit indiffynityve of the indicatyve, as a _ma
uoullente que jaie aimé_. The plus perfyt hath ever this verbe _jeusse_
(I had) before hym, as _jeusse aimé_, _jeusse dit_, etc. His presente
doth serve for his future, addyng either _tantost_ or _demain_, sayeng
_pleust a Dieu que je uoise demain auec uous; a ma uoullente que
deuiegne bon, a ma uoullente quil soit tantost corrige_.

Page 935

THE SUBJUNCTIVE OR CONJUNCTIVE.

The conjunctive is lyke the optative in his present and preterittes,
save that we say in stede of _pleust a Dieu, a ma uoullente; sy, come,
quant,_ or _ueu_, sayeng for the present, _sy je fuisse maintenant,
comme jay congneu, quant jeusse sentu._

The sayd conjunctyve hath two futures, the tone hath alwayes this worde
_mais_, goyng before the verbe, as _mais que je soie joieulz_, etc.

The tother is borowed of the potenciall mode, and hath for his
termynation, _roy, rois, roit: rions, ries, roient_, as _jaimeroie, tu
aimerois, il aimeroit, nous aimerions, uous aimeries, ilz aimeroient;_
and likewyse of all others. The termination of the infinityve shall
appere in the verbes here after folowyng, wherfore in eschewyng
prolixite, I will no further speke of it. The preterit must ever have
this verbe infynityve moode: _auoir_, before hym, as _auoir parlé, auoir
dit, auoir mordz_, etc.

The gerundyve is formed of the infinityve, and of the participle present
tensis, as _de parler, pour conferer, en communicant_, etc. The
overthrowen or supins which ben called _reuerses_, ye shall ever put the
preterit parfit or the second futur of the conjunctive before him,
sayeng: _je te uoulsisse_, or _je te uouldroye bien aimé de Dieu_, etc.

A RULE FOR TO MAKE PARTICIPLES, ADVERBES AND NOWNES OF THE VERBES
FOLOWYNGE.

All maner verbes infinitive mode endyng in _er_, takyng the _r_ away, ye
have the preterit masculin, and addyng an _e_ to the _é_ that remaine,
ye have the participle feminin of the preterit tensis, as in this verbe
_enseigner_, take away the _r_, ye have _enseigné_, which is masculin,
and addyng another _e_ to it, ye have _enseignée_, which is the preterit
feminin, soundyng the first _e_ as a uowel, and if ye adde _ment_ to it,
ye shal have _enseignement_, which is an adverbe, and puttyng both _es_
away, and addyng _ant_, ye have the participle present, whiche is
_enseignant_, and this rule is generall for the termination.

Also all verbes endyng in _ir_, as _uenir_, and such as come of him must
al change _ir _in _u_ for the preterit masculyn, and addyng an _e _to
the sayd _u_ for the feminin. Exemple for the masculin, if ye take _ir_
away from _uenir, tenir, souuenir, soubstenir, maintenir_, and adde _u_
for it, ye shall have, _uenu, tenu, souuenu, maintenu_, and addyng an
_e_ to it, ye shall have the feminin, whiche

Page 936

be, _uenue, tenue, souuenue, maintenue_, etc. and if ye put away the
sayd _u_ and _e_, and put _ant_ for it, ye shall have the participle
present tensis, as _uenant, tenant, souuenant, maintenant_. There ben
other verbes ending in _ir_, whiche must chaunge the _r_ in _e_ for the
feminin, and without the _e_ for the masculin, as _benir_, take away the
_r_, ye have _beny_, which is preterit masculin, and adde an _e_ to it,
ye have _benie_, whiche is the feminin, and lykewyse of _bannir, banni,
bannie; rauy, rauie_, and adding _ssant_ to the masculin, ye have
_banissant, benissant, rauissant. Mourir_ and _querir_ must be excepted:
for _mourir_ hath _mort_ for his masculyn, and _morte_ for the femynyn,
and _querir, quis_ and _quise; mourant_ and _querant_ for the participle
present tense.

Also those wherof the infynityve termyne or ende in _tre_, or in _dre_,
the _e_ beyng a consonant, as _batre, abatre, combatre, rabatre,
debatre: pendre, fendre, deffendre, tendre, rendre, uendre_, must all
chaunge _re_ in _u_ for the masculyn, sayeng _batu, abatu, combatu,
pendu, fendu, deffendu, uendu, tondu_, addyng an _e_ to it for the
femynyn, sayeng _batue, uendue, fendue, tondue_; ye must except
_prendre_ with all his dirivatives, and make _pris, prise; repris,
reprise; compris, comprise; mespris, mesprise_. There ben other that
ende in _e_, as _mectre_, with all that of hym ben diryvate; whiche must
folowe the sayd rule, as _permis, permise; mis, mise; demis, demise;
commis, commise; promis, promise; remis, remise; compris_, etc. and
bycause they be noted for the most parte among the Catalogue of verbes,
and howe ye shall fourme lykewyse both nownes and adverbes: and also
that it is harde for to fynde a rule generall and infallyble, I do here
termyne the sayde rules.

Here consequently foloweth the conjugations wherof the fyrst shalbe
tourned in one tens, synguler nombre and plurell, sixe and thirty maner
awaye, every person sixe maner wayes, that is to say, the affyrmatyve
thre wayes and the negatyve lykewise; as whan I say: I have, which is
affyrmation or grauntyng, if ye do turne it, ye shall have, have I. And
if ye put this worde, why, before it, ye shall have a questyon, as: why
have I, and lykewyse of the negation or denying, whiche is, I have nat;
turne it, ye have, have nat I: and puttyng why before it, ye have a
question, whiche is: why have nat I. And in lyke maner thorowe every
persone synguler and plurell; and so shall it be sixe and thirty wayes
in one tens, and this rule is generall for every verbe.

Also there is another maner, whiche shall serve for every verbe
lykewyse, and shalbe turned in one tens an hundred and eyght wayes, with
thre pronownes, that is to say: me, the, hym.

Example for the fyrst persone: I have me, I have the, I have hym. And

Page 958

we tourne it, we shall have: have I me, have I the, have I hym. Than
puttyng why before it, we shall have: Why have I me, why have I the, why
have I hym; and this is nyne wayes in the affyrmatyve.

Nowe, if ye do lykewise in the negatyve, ye shall have other nyne wayes,
as whan ye say: I have nat me, I have nat the, I have nat him, and
tournyng it, ye have: have I nat me, have I nat the, have I nat hym; and
puttyng why before, I have: why have nat I me, why have nat I the, why
have nat I hym. And doynge lykewise of the seconde persone and the
thyrde, and consequently with the plurell nombre, ye shall have syx
tymes eightene variable and sondry wayes, which do amount to an hundred
and viii wayes in one tense, and may be lykewise of every verbe; and if
ye do take but the fyrste worde of every persone, ye shall have a syngle
conjugacion, as: I have, thou hast, he hath: we have, ye have, they
have, etc.




Page 959

Here after foloweth the fyrst conjugation whiche is sixe and thyrty wayes
  in the presente, and lykewyse of every preteryte and future,
    in every tense and mode, except all the imperatyves the
      present of the optatyves. And bycause we can nat specifye
        by our wordes any of our dedes, signyfyeng action,
          without this verbe (have) we shall begyn with
            the same, addyng to it a worde or two for
              to shewe an example, howe one may
                make dyverse and many sentences
                 with one worde, and percon-
                   sequent come shortely
                      to the french
                        speche.

THE PRETERIT PARFET.

With my wyll that I have knowen, that thou hast,    that he hath,
A ma uoullente que jaye cogneu,  que tu aye cogneu, quil ayt cogneu,

that we have,          that ye have,         that they have knowen.
que nous ayons cogneu, que uous ayez cogneu, quilz ayent cogneu.

The subjunctive present and thre preterites is lyke the optative,
puttyng before the verbe, _ueu_, or _come_, etc.

THE FYRST FUTURE OF THE CONJUNCTYVE.

Whan  I  shall  knowe,  thou shall,  he shall know:
Mais que je cognoisse,  que tu,      quil cognoisse;

we shall,              ye shall,             they   shall   know.
que nous cognoissons,  que uous cognoisses,  quilz cognoissent.

THE   SECONDE   FUTURE.

we shulde,               ye shulde,             they  shuld  know.
que nous cognoistrions,  que uous cognoistriez, quilz cognoistroient.

                to know.                  to have knowen.
THE INFINITIVE, cognoistre. THE PRETERIT, auoir cogneu.
              to know,
THE GERUNDIF, a cognoistre,

                           I   the wyshe

cogneu.

And so ende this conjugation.

  instrument wherby we do expresse by our wordes all verbes passives,
    fewe except, and all that we do suffre, the whiche may be turned

THE INFINITYVE, estre.  THE PRETERIT, avoir esté, GERUNDIF, pour estre,
in beyng.
en estant, etc.

And thus finishe this conjugation.


Also it is to be noted that there ben certayne answeres bothe in the
affyrmatyon, and negation of a thyng: as whan one doth say, _I am_: and
they may say, _ye be nat_: where he may answere agayne, _I am_: and the
other grauntyng the same shall say, _so are ye_. And lykewise whan one
doth affirme a thyng by way of negation: as whan he doth say, _I am
nat_, if any wyll deny the same, he shall saye, _ye be_, and if he wyll
graunt unto it, he shall saye, _no more are ye_. For example of the
whiche I wyll make therof a conjugation full requisyte and necessary to
the frenche tonge. But ye shall understande that thre verbes onely shall
serve you to this purpose: that is to say, _have_, _do_, and _am_: for
if one say _I am_, ye may say, _ye be nat_: _I have_, _ye have nat_: and
_I do_, _ye do nat_: the whiche thre ben principall in this rule.

THE INDICATIVE OF AFFIRMATION.

I am,                 thou art,                 he is.
Je suis,              tu es,                    il est.

I am nat,             thou art nat,             he is nat.
Non suis,             non es,                   non est.

But I am,             But thou arte,            but he is.
Sy suis,              Sy es,                    sy est.

So am I,              So arte thou,             so is he.
Ce suis mon,          ce es mon,                ce est mon.

We be,                ye be,                    they be.
Nous sommes,          uous estes,               Ilz sont.

We be nat,            ye be nat,                they be nat.
Non sommes,           non estes,                non sont.

Page 994

But we be,               but ye be,             but they be.
Sy sommes,               sy estes,              sy sont.

So we be,                so be ye,              so be they.
Ce sommes mon,           ce estes mon,          ce sont mon.

And so forth thorow al the tenses and modes of all the tother twayne,
as:

I was,     I was nat,    but I was:    so was I.       I sayde,
Jestoye,   non estoye,   sy estoie:    cestoie mon.    Je dysoie,

I dyd nat,     but I dyd,
non faisoie,   sy faisoie,

so dyd I.         I had,    I had nat,    but I had,   so had I:
ce faisoie mon.   Jauoie,   non auoie,    sy auoie,    ce auoie mon:
je eus,  non eus:

I shall have, I shall nat,  but I shall,     so shall I.
jaray,        non aray,     sy aray,         ce aray mon.

Which thre wordes shall serve you to any verbes signifieng either
_doing_ or _suffryng_.

EXAMPLE FOR NEGATION.

I am nat:          but I am.       I am nat:     no more I am.
Je ne suis pas:    sy suis.        non suis:     ce ne suis mon.

I do nat:          but I do.       I do nat:     no more do I.
Je ne fay pas:     sy fay.         non fay:      ce ne fay mon.

I have nat:        but I have.     I have nat:   no more have I.
Je nay pas:        sy ay.          non ay:       ce nay mon.

Thou hast nat:     but thou hast.  thou hast nat:  no more hast thou.
Tu nas pas:        sy as.          non as:       ce nas mon, etc.

Touchyng the conjugation interrogative, as,

Am I:         do I:        have I:     or no,
Suis je:      fays je:     ay je:      ou non,

ye shall answere, _ouy_, _nenny_, _non_: and to the interrogation
negatyve, as,

Am nat I,         do nat I,        have nat I,
Ne suis je pas,   ne fay je pas,   nai je pas,

ye shal answer as is said before in thexample of the negation, wherfore
this is sufficient for this present rule.

Another conjugation of these two verbes in latyn _uado_ and _eo_, whiche
both verbes of one signifycation signifyeth in englyssh, _I go_, the
which _go_ is defectyve in the frenche tonge, wherfore the tone must
helpe the other.

The futur is lyke the present as:

Je prie a Dieu quil ne me chaille,   ou quil me chaille.

The subjunctif is lyke the optatif.

                    I shulde nat care,    thou shuld nat care,
THE SECONDE FUTURE: Il ne me chauldroit,  il ne te chauldroit,

he shuld nat care.

THE INFINITIVE:  Il ne peult chaloir.

Note that if ye leve this worde, _ne_, whiche is before every pronowne,
it is affirmative, and if ye do put it unto the sayd pronowne it is
negative.

Another conjugation of two verbes together, that is to say, _I serche_
in englishe, and because I wyll eschewe prolixite, I wyll touche but the
synguler nombre of every tense.

I  seke,    all one,    thou,                  he,
Je cerche,  je quiers,  tu cerche, tu quiers,  il cerche, il quiers,

we serche,                     ye

THE PRETERIT PLUS PARFET.     Jauoie cerché, ou quis.

               I shall serche.

THE IMPERATIVE.  Cerche toy,  ou quiers toy, querons nous,
                                               cerchons nous,

                   Loke that thou serche nat.

                    Wold to God that I dyd serche.

                                                              je quisse.

                      With my wyll that I have sought.
THE PRETERIT PARFET.  A ma uoullenté que jaie cerché ou quis.

THE PRETERIT PLUS PARFET. O se jeusse cerché ou quis,  se tu eusse,

if he had, etc.
sil eust, etc.

The subjunctif is lyke the optatif, with his thre preterites.

                   Whan I shall serche,
