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.
