A MONSIEUR le COLONEL BULLAR.

MONSIEVR,

LA grandeur de vostre naissance, & de vos actions vous ayant élevé à un poinct de gloire, ou l'envie, (qui va jusques sur les thrones) ne sçauroit atteindre. Iecroirois ne pouvoir entreprendre d'en publier les advantages, sans en ternir le lustre; fi je ne scavois qu'il est également impossible d'en relever, & d'en obscurcir l'éclat. Cette connoissance me pourroit servir d'excuse & de justification, si j'avois assez de temerité pour en dire quelque [Page]chose. Mais cette entreprise ne pouvant avoirautre effect, que de me convaincre absolument de foiblesse, & de presomption; je laisseray parler les histoires de la noblesse de vostre race, & l'Allemagne s advoüant vostre redevable de la plus belle partie de sa gloire, ne veut pas m'admettre a partager l'honneur de faire vostre éloge. Mais vous n'avez pas besoin de panegyrique, le simple recit des belles choses, que vous avez faictes en parlera avec plus dénergie, que toutes les plus sçavantes plumes du Monde. Et ce seroit en quelque façon profaner vos actions heroïques, que de les mettre au rang de celles, qui demandent, ou qui peuvent souffrir des loüanges. l'Allemagne, n'est pas seule, qui peut en dire des nouvelles, & quoy que durant tant d'années vous y ayez faict ce qu'elle ait jamais veu de plus illustre, elle n'a pas veu ce que vous avez faict de plus glorieux. Vous avez combatu pour ses interests, [Page]lors que ceux de vostre Patrie vous ont permis de porter vos armes dans des païs estrangers: Mais dés que vous luy avez esté necessaire, vous n'avez plus eu d'autre but, que ses advantages, & n'avez cherché d'autre gloire, que celle, qui pouvoit s'acquerir dans l'execution de ses entreprises & dans l'advancement de ses desseins. Les services, que vous luy avez rendus sont de la nature de ceux, dont le bruit s'estend par toute la terre. Mais c'estoit encore trop peu pour la splendeur de vostre nom, vous l'avez porté jusques dans le nouveau Monde, ou vous avez eu la voix de toute l'Armée. Mais je m'apperçois, que je commence a m'égarer, & que voulant vous suivre dans le chemin de la gloire, je suis en peril de me perdre dans celuy de la confusion. C'est ce qui m'oblige a demeurer entierement dans les termes de l'admiration & du silence que je ne rompray, que pour [Page]vous supplier de combler, un nombre infiny de faveurs, dont vous m'avez honoré & en France & icy, par la protection de cét ouvrage, il ne doit rien apprehender, si vous luy donnez un azile chez vous, & les traicts les plus injurieux de l'envie ne pourront rien contre luy, si vous le recevez à l'ombre de vos lauriers. Cette generosité avec laquelle, vous obligez les étrangers & la quantité des graces, que vous m'avez si liberalement prodiguées me font esperer, que vous ne me denierez pas la faveur de m'accorder la liberté de me dire avec respect,

Vostre tres humble, tres fidele, & tres redevable Serviteur CLAUDIUS MAUGER Professeur és Langues.

To the right Honourable COLONEL ANTHONY BULLAR.

Sir,

THe greatness of your birth and actions hath raysed you to a degree of glory, whither envie it self (which attends upon Thrones) can not aspire. I should believe I could not undertake to publish those advantages without darkening their lustre, if I did not know that it is equally impossible to illustrate and obscure their splendour. That knowledge might serve me both for my excuse and my justification, if I had rashnesse enough to speak of them. But that undertaking can produce no other effect, then absolutely to convince mee of weaknesse and presumption. I will leave it to Histories, to relate the noblenesse of your race, and Germany who must confesse that shee owes you for the greatest part of her glory, will not admit me to share in the honour of writing your Elogy: But you need no Panegyrick, the plain recitall of those brave actions you have done, will expresse them with more efficacy then the most skilfull pens of the world: And it were in some sort to profane your [Page]heroïque actions, to rank them with those which require or can tolerate commendations. Nor is it Germany alone that can tell those wondrous actions, although that during those years which you spent there, she never saw any thing more illustrious; yet she never saw the more glorious things which you have done: you fought for their interests, when those of your own Country permitted you to carry your armes into forreigne nations; but as soon as you was needfull to them, you had no other aime but their advantage, and sought for no other glory, then that which might be acquired in the execution of their enterprizes, and in the advancement of their designes. The services you have rendred them, are of the nature of those whose fame is displayed over the whole Earth: But this is yet too little for the glory of your name, you have carried it to the new World, where you have had the applause of the whole Army: But I see that I begin to stray, and seeking to follow you in the path of glory, I am in danger to loose my self in that of confusion; 'tis this which obliges me wholly to the termes of Admiration and silence, which I will not break but to intreat you to accomplish that vast number of favours with which you have honored me both in France and here, by the protection of this work: it need [Page]not fear any thing if you allow it an asylum with you, and the most injurious darts of envie can not hurt it, while you shelter it under the shades of your laurells. That generosity with which you oblige strangers, and the numerous favours, which you have already so freely conferred upon mee, make me hope, you will not deny mee the favour of this liberty to speak my self,

Sir

your must humble, most faithfull, and most obliged Servant Claudius Mauger P. L.

Erudito Lectori Extraneo.

Non is sum (erudite Lector) qui me unum in praemunienda extraneis ad linguam nostram via, & Theseum praedicare, & caeteros in eadem disciplina coecutiisse velim. Certe haec (quae nonnullorum fuit) futilis jactantia, etsi à rationibus meis non esset aliena, à modestia tamen mea satis abhorruit. Aucupentur itaque scioli nostrates benevolentiam peregrinorum, & eorum candori suarum buccinatores laudum, fucum faciant; mihi neque est cordi, animi tui aciem perstringere (Amice lector) neque plura, quam reipsa peti possint ex hac lucubr a tiuncula, adjument a polliceri; tu pro tua aequitate, & sapientia judicabis. Si tamen placet de ratione instituti nostri navataeque in hoc libello operae certior fieri, habe paucis. Cum diuturna nos experientia docuisset, quid tyronibus linguae nostrae plus facesseret negotii, quid deinde in libris passim editis in lucem redundaret, quid obscuritatem & tenebras legentibus afferret, quid curtum & claudicans esset; haec potissimum, & aliae nos impulere causae, ut quod arduum crat, & longis obsitum difficultatibus iter, peregrinis compendiosum expeditumque concinnaremus, suo quaeque ordine, nec vulg ari methodo digessimus, praecept a nulla non idoncis illustravimus exemplis, quae & singula, quò sensus caeteris innotesent nationibus, Latinitate donavimus. Quae irrepsere mende, & si quae oculorum aciem subterfugerint, tu ipse pro tuo acumine & benignitate corrige.

Vale.

Learned Reader.

THree years since, I presented you a Grammar entituled (the true Advancement) which hath been very well received, & according to the custome, I added some Dialogues I made in French, which would have more enriched it, if the English had been answerable to my French; but I could not then do it, and the Corrector of the Presse undertook it: Besides that, a sickness hindered me from correcting it my self, and obliged me to put my interests into the hands of a Friend, who betrayed my expectation, and corrected it not exactly, although my copy was perfect: This which I now present you is exactly corrected, I have not borrowed the hand of another, but I my self have attended three times a day at the presse, (although against my particular interests, chusing rather to embrace those of this noble Nation, which hath done me such unexpressible courtesies) that I might correct it according to the expectation of those, who will honour it with their reading. I present you the Dialogues all new, and the English Phrase Verbatim, to make known the meaning of every word, with a fine discourse upon the State of France, as it is now governed; I have added the Latine, for to render it generally usefull to strangers, who come to see Troynovant, which is this day accounted one of the most glorious Cities of the World.

I had thought for your greater advantage, to have fitted the writing to the Pronunciation, but having found that I could not do so, without an absolute totall subverting of the foundations of the Language, [Page]I had rather teach you to read and speak together, then to shew you how to speak, without being able to read, or to read without knowing how to speak. They might say neverthelesse that it would prevent many difficultyes, if we did write as we speak.

If we should write the French as you write the English, to make you pronounce (nous) it ought to be written (noos) which is wholly repugnant to the French tongue, and cannot be done without involving you into a World of difficultyes, as (Ran) for (Rends) may as well signify (Rang) order, as (Rends) a Reddo, (Grace) for (Gras) or (Graces.) Grace in the singular number, signifies (Favour) or Pardon, & (Gras) signifies (fat;) & thousands of other equivocall words which would so become ridiculous. And which is more, take away but one letter the accent is lost: 'Tis true, we may sometimes take away the (s) onely to facilitate our Language to strangers, but it is upon condition that we put an accent in its place, which implyes its necessity.

Having therefore maturely considered, that I was more obliged to make you follow the rules of the French Academy, and of the most learned pens of France, then my own Caprichio's and those fancies which I should innovate my self, teaching you to speak French without being able to read any other book then that I should present you with: but our Language, which is so highly esteemed of all strangers, for its noble Etymologies of Greek and Latine will not suffer it self to be so dismembred by the ignorance of those which professe it, not having one letter which doth not distinguish one word from another, the singular number from the plurall, the [Page]Masculine Gender from the foeminine, or which makes not a syllable long or short, as when you, your selves say bread (panis) & bred (educatus,) you pronounce not the (A;) yet it is necessary for the distinction, you pronounce (not, nat) and people (peeple) and a thousand other words. I conclude then that it is not by an ill grounded reverence which we bear to Antiquity that we pare not the skin of our Language; but we are obliged to it by an absolute necessity: And seeing till now no man hath dared to give it the last stroke, I would not be so impertinent as to give Laws where I ought to receive them. I have therefore conformed my self to the most skilfull writers, and will give you nothing but what they all approve, and the other Masters of the Languages; amongst the which I reckon Master Penson, & Master Festeau, who are good Masters and many others,

Farewell.

Pour Mademoiselle Marie Crane.ILlustre & sçavante merveille,
Enqui nature a mis ce qu'elle a de plus beau,
Celuy qui faict le jour par son divin flambeau,
Ne veit jamais vostre pareille.
Minerve dont l'Antiquité,
Revera la science autant que la beauté,
Cede à vostre merite extréme.
Si son sçavoir fut glorieux,
C'estoit un ouvrage des Dieux:
Mais vous, vous ne devez le vostre qu'à vous mesme.

Pour Mademoiselle Isabelle 
de Colladon.L'Astre dont les regards firent vostre naissance,
Dép artit largement ses plus riches thresors
Lors que pour vous former & l'esprit & le corps,
Il versa dessus vous sa plus douce influence.
La beauté, la vertu, l'esprit, le jugement,
Dont il vous a pourveu si liberalement,
Vous mettent à bon droict dans le rang des merveilles.
Mais les langues sur tout, dont vous avez le prix,
Font advoüer à tous, qu'avecque les abeilles
Vous goustez les douceurs des roses & des lys.

Pour Mademoiselle Elisabeth Crane.Stance.
SOus un Astre divin vous pristes la naissance,
Il détourna de vous toute fatalité,
Vous ouvrant le chemin de la felicité,
Respandit dessus vous sa plus douce influence.
Lon voit un Ange en vous dépeint naifuement;
Cet éclat si brillant, ce sainct deportement.
Ces traicts si delicats, sur un si beau visage,
Nous doivent assûrer de la faveur des Cieux,
De laisser parmy nous habiter ces bas lieux,
Vn si bel abbregé, de leur divin ouvrage.

Pour Mademoiselle Elisabeth Hatton.NOble rejetton d'une tyge,
Qui peut bien disputer les roses & les lys,
De chanter vos vertus flambeau des beaux esprits?
C'est à quoy, mon dévoir m'oblige:
Mais si vostre extréme sçavoir
Qu'on ne sçauroit vanter, sans un divin pouvoir
Ne veut pas permettre à ma muse
De Chanter l'ouvrage des Dieux,
Cest qu'il vous est peu glorieux
De souffrir les défauts d'une plume confuse.

Pour Mesdemoiselles Ieane 
& Elc: Hatton.BEaux rejettons d'une naissance,
Qui faict honneur à l'Albion,
Le haut éclat de vostre nom,
Qu'on peut bien traicter d'excellence,
A precedé les conquerans,
Sans jamais souffrir de dommage:
Quoy que le fiel d'un méchant âge
Renversast les plus triomphans.
Lon peut bien voir vostre noblesse
Sur un front, si Majestueux,
Ou les faicts les plus glorieux
De vos peres brillent sans cesse.

A Monsieur Mauger Professeur de Blois.

C'Est en vain médisans diseurs de bagatelle,

Que vous vantez si fort vos escrits empruntez.

Respectez les Autheurs, qui vous les ont prestés,

Sans oser avec eux aller en paralelle.

Si MAUGER, par sus vous en nostre art le plus rare,

A déja hautement à Blois gaigné le prix

Parmy les Professeurs, & les plus beaux esprits;

Suivrez vous le chemin du Malheureux Icare.

A. Pronunciationis regulae.	A. The rules of pronounciation.
A Pronunciatur aperto ore, & aliquando breviùs, aut longiùs tamen sonat: nimirùm ante g E X G. âge longius, quando solum est littera & non Syllaba, longius ut (aa,) sed in Syllaba, brevius ut ba, nè dicas (baa.) ante p. brevius căpable, ante b longius pāble; comparāble, ante t, breve băttu: (am) (an) (em) (en) am, an sonant em en, em, en, ut, am, an, apud Aulicos, ame sonat âme. a ante (ou) perdit sonum, (o) eliditur ut paon, dic pan, (ai) ante duplex ll retinet suum sonum ut (paille) ai ante alias consonantes ut é ut pallais pallés. a ante l, est longius Cāles, ante duo, ss, brevius.	A Is pronounced with an open mouth; notwithstanding some time it is longer some time shorter. For example, before g as two aa, âge say aage. When a is but a letter all alone, it is pronounced longer then when it is joyned to an other vowell; for being alone as (aa), before p it is shorter, as capable, before b longer as pāble. before t. it is short (saoul,) dic sous, ante on retinet as bättu; am, an, change their sound with em en, so em en, with them. patiēmment, patiammant, enlever, anlever, embellir ambellir, but if i be before, it keepeth its old sound as parisien, do not say parisian a before ou in the same syllable is lost, saoul say sous. a, before on is pronounced and the o is lost paon, pan. Ai, as é, ai before two ll, keepeth its old sound bailler, a before l, is longer Gales.
Au sonat o, autant otant ant e, m, brevius (Camu) excipe âme. ante os 1 cbaos a, o, simul audiuntur. ante d, brevius, malăde, salăde. a ante ff brevius, ăffaire. ante pp brevius, apporter. ai ante g a sonat solito more & i dat liquefactionem syllabae gaigner nunc gagner gaillard, ay ut é parleray parleré.	Au as (o) when it is the part of a syllable; as do (dau) otherwise o is owe — if it be well pronounced. an before (m) (n) shorter Camu, ante os it keepeth its old sound, chaos. both a and o pronounced. before b is short; mălăde salade; before two pp, short apporter. ai before (g) is pronounced as it was before, gaigner gagner gaillard: ay as é parleray parleré.
Ante, r brevius. arriver, a in quibusdam verbis sonat ut e, nempe in Charete, guitarre: sed nunc scribuntur Cherete, guiterre.	A before rr, shorter arriver, in some words its sounds like e, as Charete, guitarre, but now these words are written as they are pronounced.
E.	E.
Galli habent tria genera (e) unum masculinum, aliud foemininum, tertium verò apertum.	The French have three sorts of (e) one masculine, the other foeminine and the third open.
(E) Masculinum sonat distinctè, & vocatur masculinum, ob sonum masculinum dignoscitur & notatur accentu, ut beauté, dic beautay,	E Masculine soundeth distinctly and clearely; and is called Mascul: for its masculine sound it is known and mark't with an accent, as beauté beautay.
Secundum foemininum, & secum suam etymologiam fert, ob sonum admodum debilem; vix enim auditur; & si inveniatur in ultima syllaba non ferè pronunciatur; ut pere sonat per. non tamen ut Latini pronunciant per praep: sed paululùm longius. Ut pēr. ut Angli pron: come com & non pron: ultimam fere litteram sic etiam Galli.	The second is called foem. and bringeth with it its Etimology, because it is pronounced with a weak sound, specially if it be found in the latter end of a word; as pere say per, not as the word pair pronounce it as in come you do not pronounce the (e) but you say com.
Tertium est apertum & ut paucis absolvam pronunciatur ut (e) in (domine.)	The third is called an opem e; this is pronounced between the masculine and foeminine, and is pronounced as the Latinn (c) in Domine.
Em ut jam dictum est sonat am. patiemment patiammant.	Em as wee have said already. like am, as in the word patiemment patiamment.
En sonat an, additur etiam (e) in quibusdam verbis ut meliùs: fi verba desinant in ger in infinitivo, ut je mangeay, je gageay nous gageons nous mengeons fit authoritate gallica.	En sound as an, wee adde e in some verbes for to render the pronounciation the sueeter as mengeons and not mangons, and thar by the French authority.
Reperitur e apertum ante has literas p l, n, s, t, r f c g h; deputer denier, derober, &c.	E open is found, before these letters p, l, n, s, t, v, f, c, g, h; députer, dénier.
In tertia persona verborum pluralis numeri si (e) praecedat (nt) non audiuntur, v: g: Ils parlent, loquuntur. dic ils parle.	Observe that in the third person plurale of verbs, if e be put before nt, nt are not pronounced as ils parlerent say ils parlere.
Ei, ut é, peine péne. E in fine dictionis si praecedat i sonat ut aliud i, ravie, dic ravii.	Ei as é, peine péne, e in the later end of a word if i be before it, is sounded like an other i ravie ravy.
I.	I.
Pronunciatur ut apud Latinos, Germanos, Italos, Batavos: sed apud Anglos sonat ut nostrum (e) sed debent illud pron: ut (ee) vel ut pronunciant nunc in celeberrimis suis universitatibus, (tibi) (mihi.)	Is sound as do's the Latins Germans, Italiens, Hollanders: but the English pronounce it as our (e) but it must be pronounced as they do in their most famous universities. tibi, mihi.
Observa 2. i ante duplex ll in quibusdam substantivis pronunciari cum liquefactione, ponendo linguam sub palato, fille ferè ut Itali pronunciant gli figle (figliololo) gentille, excipe omnia nomina composita ex voce ville, quemadmodum infinitum eorum numerum in Gallia habemus. Quae hanc normam spernunt. Ut Barneville, longueville contranuille.	Observe 2. that i being sound before a double ll. is sound with a kind of liquefaction putting the tongue under the palat as the word fille, gentille. But you shall except all these words that are derived from this voice ville, having almost all the names of our French Villages ended in ville, as longueville, Barneville. these words do not follow that rule.
Observa 3. i nunquam recte poni, inter duas vocales sed (y) ut ayant non ajant, nisi sit consonans.	Observe thirdly that i a vowell is never put between to vowels but in stead of it (y) as ayant, not ajant.
O.	O.
Multa de häc litterâ dicenda mihi videntur, cum magnum sit discrimen inter Gallos ipsos propter reformatam à Cardinale Riccoloco pronunciationem & fusius dicerem, nisi longior in tradendis regulis viderer paucis absolvam.	I have many things to say concerning that letter O, because there is so great a contest among the French men themselves: some part of the pronounciation having been reformed by Cardinall Richelieu; and least I should be to tedious unto you, I will explain it in few words.
Ois nunc pron: in quibusdam locis és, sed non in omnibus: attente audiant Tyrones linguae Gallicae.	Ois in some substantives is pronounced és, but in all words, let the beginner of the French tongue hear.
Primo ois, sonat és: in omnibus imperfectis sive indicativi sive optativi verborum. Ie parlois, Ie parlés I'aïmerois, I'aimerés.	1. Ois sound as és in all imperfects tenses of verbs, both of the indicative and optative. For example, Ie parlois I did speak say Ie paarlés. Ie parlerois I should speak Ie parlerés.
Secundò in aliquibus substantivis in fine dictionis. ut François Françés, Hollandois, Hollandés. Excipe Artois non Artés.	2. In some substantives words of many syllables, as François say Francés. Hollandois, Holland. Except (Artois) do not say Artés. Danois Suedois melius sonant quam Danés Suedés.
Tertiò oi retinet suum sonum, in omnibus monosyllabis, ut (fois,) bois.	3. Oi is pronounced as it was formerly in all the words of one syllable as fois, bois, Blois.
Quartò ois in omnibus infinitivis verborum tertiae conjug: ut avoir, pouvoir, nè dicas pouver, avér.	4. Oi in all the infinitive moods of the verbs of the third conjugation as pouvoir avoir, do not say pouver.
Quintò in omnibus substantivis desinentibus in, (r) espoir, pouvoir potestas, & no espér, pouver.	5. In all substantives ending in oir, as espoir, do not say espair.
Sexto Oy abhorret, ab illa regula foy, loy, moy, toy, ne dicas fé, lé, mé, té,	6. Before (y) oy is alwayes pronounced as formerly, as moy, toy, soy, loy, &c. do not say mé tay, &c.
Septimò ante x non observat regulam, loix, ne dicas lés.	7. Before x also loix, not lês.
Octavò, ante n Coin.	8. Before n coin.
Nono, in prima syllaba vix vel nunquam pron: és poisson, poison, foison, boison, moisson, &c. Excipe, soible, dic féble, Blois ne dicas Bles.	9. In the first syllable of words it keepeth its old sound, as poisson, except, foible say feble.
Decimò, si quae nomina desinant in quois, sequuntur, veterem pron: Objicietur in veteribus authoribus scribi Ie parloy; [Page 7]non ita nunc, Ie parlois.

TYROCINIUM LINGUAE GALLICAE DE ARTICULIS.

CAPUT I.

GAlli duos solù habent articulos in usu: In Nominativo singulari, le, la; le inseruit nominibus masculinis: ut le Roy; la verò foemininis ut la Reine, In Nominativo plurali unicum adhibent pro utroque genere; ut, les Roys, les Reines. Sic declinatur nomen masculinum.

Singulariter.

Le Roy Nominativus. Hic Rex.
Du Roy Genitivus. hujus Regis.
Au Roy Dativus. huic Regi.
Le Roy Accusativus. hunc Regem.
ô Roy Vocativus. ô Rex.
Du Roy Ablativus. ab hoc Rege.

Pluraliter.

Les Roys Nominativus. Hi Reges.
Des Roys Genitivus. horum Regum.
Aux Roys Dativus. his Regibus.
Les Roys Accusativus. hos Reges.
ô Roys Vocativus. ô Reges.
Des Roys Ablativus. ab his Regibus.

[Page 16]

Exemplum nominis foem.

Singulariter.

La Reine Nomin. Haec Regina.
De la Reine Genit. hujus Reginae.
A la Reinc Dativ. huic Reginae.
La Reine Accus. hanc Reginam.
ô Reine Vocat. ô Regina.
De la Reine Ablat. ab hâc Reginâ.

Pluraliter.

Les Reines Nomin. Hae Reginae.
Des Reines Genit. harum Reginarum.
Aux Reins Dativ. his Reginis.
Les Reines Accus. has Reginas.
ô Reines Vocat. ô Reginae.
Des Reines Ablat. ab his Reginis.

Si verò occurrat nomen masculinum incoeptum à vocali, aut ab h, litterâ mutâ; ob euphoniam, vitandae asperitatis causâ, quam duarum vocalium concursus afferret; mutuò accipiendus est articulus nominativi, & interponendus his duabus vocalibus, ne sonum rudiorem edant: cave igitur dieas, l'homme, du homme, verùm,

l'homme. Hic homo.
de l'homme. hujus hominis.
à l'homme. huic homini.
l'homme. hunc hominem.
ô homme. ô homo.
de l'homme. ab hoc homine.
l'Empereur. Hic Imperator.
de l'Empereur. hujus Imperatoris.
à l'Empereur. huic Imperatori.
l'Empereur. hunc Imperatorem.
ô Empereur. ò Imperator.
de l'Empereur. ab hoc Imperatore.

[Page 17]Pluralis numerus retinet suum articulum, les, des, aux, les, des.

Si ita contingat, nomen incoeptum à vocali, aut h mutâ, articulum indefinitum sibi vendicat: ut, l'Empereur, de l'Empereur; quia articulus indefinitus praecedit articulis ipsis: ut, de l'ame. H, est muta, si reperiatur in vocibus, quae derivantur à Latinis: ut, homo, homme; si verò in vocibus propriè Gallicis occurrat, est littera, & pronunciatur: ut, honte, hameau: ne dicas in genitivo de le hameau, sed du hameau; & sic de aliis.

Propria virorum nomina, mulierum, & ut uno absolvam verbo, omnium rerum facie virili aut muliebri pictarum, quaeque etjam brutis animantibus non insita à naturâ imponuntur, ita declinantur: ut,

Pierre,
Pierre,
de Pierre,
ô Pierre,
à Pierre,
de Pierre.
Bucephal, de Bucephal, &c.

Lingua Gallica non abhorret à caeteris vernaculis linguis in applicatione articulorum nominativi utriusque numeri; id quod exemplis illustrabo. Itali dicunt il ré: Angli, the King.

Attamen observandum est, si Angli interrogentur per quaestionem quà, in propriis Provinciarum, & Regnorum appellationibus tacere articulum: v. gr. Par où passerez-vous? quà transibis? Angli respndent, par France, Anglicè, by France: caveant igitur ab isto Anglicismo. Si verò Galli respondeant huic quaestioni, in propriis provinciarum appllationibus, quarum incognita illis est vernacula significatio, tacent articulum: v. g. Pour aller à Londres, je passay par Kent: est provincia Angliae.

De Articulis Nominativi hactenùs satis. Pauca de Articulo Genitivi delibabo.

Duplex est apud Gallos Articulus Genitivi, Definitus, & indefinitus.

DEfinitus dicit aliquid certum & particulare: v. g. I'ay leu un Arrest du Parlement de Paris, Decretum legi Senatus Parisiensis: C'est le commandement de la Reine de France, Reginae Galliarum est imperium. Quòd si rem non definiamus nominatim, sed gencratim tantùm dicendo persequamur, dicendum exit, I'ay leu [Page 18]un Arrest de Parlement, Senatus-consultum legi: quia non magis praedicatur de Senatu Parisiensi quàm de Senatu Rothomagensi. Rem faciet liquidiorem exemplorum varietas: à la battaille de Norlinghen un Cavalier fut blessé d'un coup de pistolet, praelio ad Norlinghen, equestris stlopi ictu sauciatus est: Le Mareschal de Gassion fut blessé d'un coup de mousquet, Gassionius Mareschallus castrorum Praefectus, missâ catapultâ graviter vulneratus fuit. Si verò significare etiam velimus, v. g. quo tormento aliquis vulneratus sit; sic Gallicè dicendum exit, Vn homme fort considerable receut un coup du canon qui estoit braqué sur la contrescarpe du fossé, vir quidam perspectissimae virtutis, tormenti globo ex aggere fossae excusso, vulneratus est: Il m'a donné un coup de l'espée qu'il gaigna à la battaille de Lens, Illo me caecidit ense, quem pugnâ ad Lincium commissâ assequutus est.

CAPUT II. De Applicatione indefiniti.

SI nomen adjectivum praeponatur substantivis, utendum est articulo indefinito: ut, c'est un Prince de grande esperance, magnae expectationis est Princeps.

Si illud tamen clarè definiamus, licèt praecedat substantivo, definito utimur: v.g. Ce tombeau enferme les cendres du grand Henry de Mommorency, In hoc reclusi cineres sepulchro magni Henrici Momorantii asservantur. Si verò praeponatur nomini substantivo pronomen, eodem utendum est articulo; ut, LOUIS XIV. triomphera de nos ennemis, LUDOVICUS decimus-quartus triumphum de hostibus nostris referet.

Indè excipies pronomina absoluta, quae definitum sibi vendicant articulum. Haec vox, Meilleur, si occurrat in comparativo gradu, indefinitum sibi poscit articulum: v. gr. Nous avons de bon vin, il ne s'en boit point de meilleur, generosum valdè nobis est vinum, nec usquam suavius bibitur. Sed si reperiatur in superlativo gradu, sibi definitum vendicabit: v. gr. Arristote étoit un des meilleurs philosophes qui ayent jamais esté, unus ex praestantissimis omnis memoriae Philosophus extitit Aristoteles.

Plus, in comparativo gradu requirit indefinitum: v.g. La France produit de plus brave hommes que l'Espagne, Gallia longè praestantiores, [Page 19]quàm Hispania, viros procreat. In superlativo verò petit definitum: v.gr. Cét homme est un des plus considerable de ce siecle, hic vir inter hujus saeculi clarissima lumina numetandus est.

Ante haec adverbia ponitur articulus indefinitus: nempè, fort, si, assez, beaucoup, tant, trop, aussi: v.g. Alexandre le grand estoit d'assez belle taille, Alexander magnus staturâ satis ad dignitatem apposita erat: Il estoit suivy de tantde braves gens, fortissimos habuit comites, & quamplurimos: Il formoit de si genereux desseins, & generosa omnia erant quae meditabatur consilia.

Praepositiones volunt articulum indefinitum antè se: ut chés, aprés, contre, environ, à l'entour, auprés: v. g. Ie viens de chés vous, venio ex aedibus tuis: Ie hcurtè à la porte d'aprés la vôtre, fores pulsavi, quae proximae sunt tuis.

Datur idem articulus materiae, ex qua aliquid componitur: v.gr. Cheval de bronze, equus ex aere Corinthio: Toison d'or, vellus aureum: Escu d'or, nummus aureus. Si verò materiam velimus exprimere, utendum erit definito articulo: v. g. Ce manteau est fait de la laine, que j'ay achétée cette semaine, hoc pallium factum est ex lanâ, quam hâc hebdomadâ emi.

Post adverbia quantitatis ponitur idem articulus: v. gr. Pompée avoit beaucoup de courage, Antioque trop peu de coeur, Neron trop d'inpudence, Pompeius magno & exelso fuit animo: Antiochus molli & enervato: Nero impudentia insigni. At verò si adverbium quantitatis occurrat in aliis rebus, quae possunt frangi sine corruptione alterius partis, si definiamus aliquid tale, & non aliud, utendum est articulo indefinito: v. gr. Donnez-moy un peu du vin que nous beûmes hier, da mihi parùm vini, sed de codem quod heri bibimus.

Adjectiva copiae & egestatis, eundem volunt articulum: v. gr. Cette Tour est pleine de munitions de guerre, munitissima haec est Turris, & omni commeatuum genere refertissima: Cét homme est pauvre d'esprit, non multùm ille homo abundat ingenio.

Si nomen substantivum propriis regnorum ac provinciarum appellationibus praeponatur, utendum est indefinito: v. gr. Royaume de France: Province de Picardie: Duc de Bourgongne, &c. Cour de Parlement. dic Cour des Aydes, non Cour d'Aydes, Supremi ordinis curia: Causis patrimonii Regii disceptandis consessus.

Sic Adjectiva laudis: ut, digne de loüange, laude dignus.

Substantiva qualitatis eundem requirunt articulum: v. gr. Le Mareschal de Gassion estoit homme de coeur, Mareschallus Gassionius [Page 20]vir fortissimo, & generoso in periculis animo fuit.

Illa nomina quae dicunt privationem, aut defectum, pari gaudent articulo: v. g. Eclipse de Soleil & de Lune, Solis eclipsis & Lunae.

Datur idem articulus post verbum manquer: ut, manquer d'argent, carere pecuniâ.

Ante numeros reperitur idem articulus: v.g. le Roy d'Espagne perdit vne armée de dix mille hommes à Rocroy, decem millia hominum ad Rocrojam fusa sunt.

Eundem petunt articulum nomina artium liberalium, si haec vox, Maistre, praecedat: v. g. Maistre de musique. Scientiarum: ut, Regent de Philosophie, Philosophiae professor. Instrumentorum musicorum: ut, Ioüeur de violon.

Si definiamus, utendum est articulo definito: ut, c'est le maistre de la musique du Roy, symphoniae Regiae est magister.

Ne dicas maistre de dance, verùm maistre à dancer: maistre en fait d'armes. Alia enim dicendi ratio usum obtinuit apud aulicos & liberaliores.

Nomina propria urbium pari gaudent articulo: ut, Blois de Blois. Inde tamen excipienda sunt haec nomina, quae sequuntur, quae definitum sibi vendicant articulum: ut, la Capelle, la Bassée, le Pont-l'Evesque, le Ponteau de mer, le Havre de Grace, le Pont de l'Arche, le Mans, la Fléche, la Rochelle, la Haye. Sic, la Haye, de la Haye: le Mans, du Mans, &c.

Dieu, si significet verum Deum, requirit indefinitum: ut, c'est le commandement de Dieu.

Si verò agamus de falsis illis divinitatibus, quas colebant Pagani, utendum erit definito: ut, le Dieu Iupiter: du Dieu Iupiter, si definiamus talem Deum, & non alium.

Nomina quae sequuntur, eodem gaudent articulo: propria virorum, mulierum, Deorum, daemonum bonorum aut pravorum: ut, Gabriel, de Gabriel: Marie, de Marie: Michel, de Michel: Belzebuth, de Belzebuth: Quibus addes propria, quae brutis animantibus, non illis à naturâ insita, imponuntur: ut, Bucephal, de Bucephal.

Articuli volunt ante se indefinitum: ut, de l'argent.

Force duplicem habet significationem: aliquando significat violentiam, aliquando multitudinem. Si significet violentiam, requirit indefinitum: ut, à force d'hommes le Roy a pris Bourdeaux, Rex non nisi egregia militum virtute, Burdegalas ad deditionem [Page 21]coëgit. Si verò significet multitudinem, est adjectivum: ut, force femmes: force soldats, multi milites.

Haec verba, orner, nerichir, vestir, couvrir, gaudent eodem articulo: v.g. vne maison ornée de tapisserie, peristromate decorata domus: vne femme vestüe de soye, sericis vestibus ornata mulier: couverte de terre, terrâ cooperta.

Nomen modi, quo aliquid fit, sumit indefinitum: ut, la mer est agitée de tempestes, turbidis tempestatibus turbatur atque commovetur mare: Il a fait cela de guét à pens, hoc fecit deditâ operâ: Il brusle de desir, desiderio ardet: Il meurt de faim, fame perit, & propè enectus est: enflé de gloire, tumidus superbiâ.

Adjectiva cupiditatis eundem observant: ut, ambitieux de loüange, laudis referendae perquàm avidus: envieux de gloire, gloriae cupidus.

Nomen mensurae: ut, un, boisseau d'avéne, avenae modus.

Adjectiva formae: ut, beau de visage, pulcher vultu.

Bien, quantitativè sumptum poscit definitum.

Nomina mensium & dierum poscunt eundem articulum: ut, de Ianuier, de Mardy.

Articulus unitatis sibi eundem vendicat: ut, I'ay receu une lettre d'un de mes amis.

Animadverte, à poni in Dativo, quando non definimus aliquid tale, aut aliud: ut, I'ay communiqué ma maladie à des Medecins; non magis praedicatur de Medicis Blesarum, quam de Medicis Turonum.

Sed si definiamus, utendum erit definito: ut, I'ay communiqué ma maladie aux Medecins de Blois.

CAPUT III. De Articulo Definito.

CAetera verò nomina definitum volunt articulum: ut, Le Seigneur, du Seigneur, &c.

Si fiat fractio alicujus rei, sine corruptione alterius partis, utimur articulo Genitivi: v.g. Donnez moy du pain, cedo mihi panem. sed si totum petamus, dicendum erit, Donnez moy le pain qui est sur la table. Si verò Adjectivum, ut superiùs dixi, praeponatur nomini cujus partem aliquam petimus, utendum eritarticulo indefinito: ut, Donnez moy de bon pain. [Page 22]Ludus qui recreat aures, sibi Genitivum poscit: ut Ioüer de la musette.

Omnis alius ludus, Dativum assumit: ut, Ioüer à la boule, ludere globis.

CAPUT VI. De Adverbiis Motus.

GAlli tria habent motus Adverbia, sive tres, ut Latini, quaestiones: nempè Où, id est, ubi, vel quò: D'où, id est, unde: par où, id est, quà. Animadvertendum est, si interrogeris per où, esse respondendum, sive de quiete, sive de motu, in dativo; si de propriis urbium nominibus agatur, cam articulo indefinito: v.g. Où allés-vous? à Paris, quò vadis? proficiscor Parisios. De quiete, Où demeurés-vous? à Londres, ubinam terrarum habitas? Londini.

Inde excipies illa propria urbium nomina, de quibus dictum est infrà: nimirùm la Rochelle, &c. quae propria nomina sibi vendicabunt definitum articulum: ut, il va à la Rochelle, &c.

Si verò agatur de propriis Regnorum, aut Provinciarum appellationibus, utimur praepositione En: ut, Où allés-vous? en France: en Normandie: en Languedoc, &c. Animadverte praetereà, si Pronomen Nomini praeponatur, eandem esse adhibendam praepostionem: v.g. Il va en mon jardin: en ma maison: en son écurie, petit domum, &c.

Observa secundò, praepositionem istam en, non cadere in articulum le; itaque si occurrat, utendum esse articulo dativi: ut, I' iray au Iardin, & non en le Iardin.

Si quaestio fiat per où, in his Provinciarum appellationibus, utere praepositione dans: ut, Anjou: Poictou: Perigor: Dauphiné. ut, Il est allé dans le Poictou, le Dauphiné, &c.

In caeteris aliis nominibus utendum est articulo Dativi: ut, aller aux champs: au Sermon.

Si haec vox, Ciel, sumatur pro Paradiso; requirit articusum definitum: ut, son ame est au Ciel, ejus anima est in coelis.

Enfer, & Purgatoire, volunt praepositionem En: ut, Il est en enfer: en Purgatoire.

[Page 23]

CAPUT V. De Quaestione d'ou: Id est, Vnde.

SI quaestio fiat per Vnde, id est, d'où: Gallicè respondendum est in Genitivo: v.g. Unde venis? d'où venés-vous? Ie viens de la maison, venio domo: Ie viens de la ville: Ie vien des champs, venio ex urbe: venio rure.

Si verò agatur de propriis urbium, suburbiorum, oppidorum, ac pagorum appellationibus; utendum est articulo indefinito: ut, Ie viens de Rome, venio Româ: de Clery: de Chyverny: de Vienne.

Inde excipies, la Rochelle, & illa urbium nomina, de quibus jam dictum est, quae sibi articulum definitum vendicant: ut, Ie viens de la Rochelle, venio Rupellâ, &c.

Hoc proprium suburbii nomen excipitur, nempè le Fois, Fagus: ut, Ie viens du Fois: Suburbium est Blesense.

A propriiis Pagorum appellationibus excipiuntur, la Chaussée, la Chapelle Vendomoise, la Chapelle blanche, & alia quae componuntur.

In propriis Regnorum nominibus, utendum est articulo indefinito: v.g. Il vient de Pologne, de France, d'Angleterre.

In propriis Provinciarum, Ducatuum, atque Comitatuum appellationibus, ponendus est articulus indefinitus: ut, Ie viens de Normandie, de Tyrol, de Picardie. Potest tamen poni articulus definitus: sed non tam accuratè excipiuntur ab illa regula, le Languedoc, Tectosagi: la Beausse, Vadicassius Occidentalis ager: le Dauphiné, Delphinatus: le Limosin, Lemovices: le Perigor, Petrocorii: le Poictou, Pictones; quae definitum poscunt articulum, poriùs quàm indefinitum: ut, Ie viens du Poictou, venio ex Pictonensi solo.

Si verò nomen adjectivum, aut pronomen substantivo praeponatur, utendum erit articulo indefinito: ut, Ie viens de ma maison, venio ex aedibus meis: Il revient de sa métairie, redité sua villa.

Si haec vox, Ciel, significet Paradisum, alio gaudet articulo: v.g. Dieu est descendu du Ciel, Deus descendit de coelo. Enfer assumit potiùs definitum, quàm indefinitum: ut, le diable sort à tous [Page 24]momens des ensers, pour tourmenter les pecheurs, praevaricator angesus singulis momentis, peccatores excruciaturus, ex inferis egreditur.

CAPUT VI. De Quaestione quà: Id est, par où.

SI quaestio fiat per quà, id est, par où; respondendum est in nominativo, repetendo articulum: v.g. Quà transibis, par où passeresvous? Par la fenestre, per fenestram.

In propriis urbium, oppidorum, suburbiorum, pagorum, nostra non abhorret lingua à caeteris aliis vernaculis: utuntur enim non secùs ac Galli, praepositione par: v.g. Quà transibis? par où passeres-vous? par Blois, Blesis: Angli dicunt, by Blois.

In propriis nominibus Regnorum & Provinciarum, Ducatuum, Comitatuumque reperimus articulum: ut, par où passer ésvous? par la France: par le Dannemarc, &c.

Non repetimus tamen articulum in illis, quorum non satis est nota nobis vernacula appellatio: ut, quà transibis? Par Kent: est Provincia Angliae: Suffolx: Norfolke.

CAPUT VII. De Gradibus Comparationis.

TRes enumerantur, ut apud Latinos: positivus, comparativus, & superlativus. Positivus est nomen adjectivum: ut fort. Comparativus sibi poscit ante se plus: ut plus fort. Semper post comparativum sequitur, que: v.g. Le Roy de France est plus puissant que le Roy d' Espagne, Rex Galliarum est potentior Rege Hispaniae. Cave igitur ne incidas in communem & vulgarem linguae imperitis atque insolentibus Gallicae errorem, & more Latinorum dicas, Petrus est fortior Ioanne, Pierre est plus fort de Iean; verùm que Iean.

Bon, manvais, non admittunt plus; sed meilleur, pire. Petit, dicitur plus petit, ou moindre; le plus petit, ou le moindre.

Sic distinguimus superlativum gradum; si fiat comparatio, addimus [Page 25]articulum ante plus: ut, Ciceron estoit le plus grand orateur de son temps, Cicero eloquentissimus totius sui temporis orator extitit. At verò si nulla fiat comparatio, tacemus articulum: v.g. Alexandre estoit, tres-vaillant, fortissimus fuit Alexander, armisque acerrimus.

Si fiat comparatio, superlativus gradus regit genitivum: ut, C' est le plus sçavant homme de tous, hic vir omnium est litteratissimus.

CAPUT VIII. De Apostrophe.

HAe tres vocales, a, e, i, sequente alia vocali, eliduntur. a solùm eliditur in articulo la; ut, l'ame, & non ante alias vocales: i solùm patitur elisionem in si particulâ, ante il: ut, s'il vous plaist: eliditur e, in monosyllabis: ut. que, me, te se. &c. ut qu'il: non eliditur e, in ce, si apponatur virgula, aut si sumatur pro celà; alioquin eliditur ante verbum substantivum: ut, c'estoit.

In dissyllabis, e, solùm eliditur pronunciando, & non scribendo. Inde excipe quelqu'un, chacqu'un: quelqu'une, chacqu'une: puis qu'il.

CAPUT IX. De Formatione Pluralis Numeri.

FOrmatur pluralis numerus, si addantur hae litterae, s, x, aut z: tamen z rarò reperitur in usu; sed illius loco ponitur s, notando e accentu: ut, aimés.

Omnia igitur nomina volunt s, in plurali, si excipias ea quae desinunt in al, quae volunt x: ut, animal, animaux.

Quae desinunt in ail, habent vulgò x: ut émail, èmaux.

Inde excipe Bocal: attiraïl: maïl: serraïl: naval: bal: cal: poictral, quae sibi vendicants, & non x: Ciel, Cie [...]x, Genoüil: vér üil capiunt x: ut, véroux, &c. Vieïl, viéux: Artificiel, artificieux: Vniversel, universaux.

Quae desinunt in eau, eu, volunt x: ut, seu, feux: beau, beaux: [...]eil, yeux.

EFoemininum non solum maximam extraneis affert difficultatem, verum etiam peritioribus in linguâ edocendâ magistris, qui nondum hactenus, licèt diu hanc difficultatem agitare conati sint, eam aperire linguam addiscentibus potuêre.

CAPUT II. De Pronominibus.

GAlli dividunt pronomina in personalia, demonstrativa, possessiva, relativa, & indefinita.

Personalia sunt haec: je, moy, tu, toy, il, luy, nous, vous, eux, ils. Ie, moy, unicum illud interse statuunt discrimen, quòd je, tanquam persona inserviat verbis: ut, je parle, ego loquor; moy verò solum participio praesentis: ut, moy aimant. Si fiat interrogatio, personam postponimus verbo: ut, seray-je cela? parleray-je? an loquar &c.

Ie, debet semper adhaerere suo verbo: tamen in temporibus compositis verborum, si negationes aut pronomina occurrant, interponuntur personae, & signo. Per signum intelligimus verba auxiliaria, ex quibus componuntur tempora composita: v.g. je ne vous ay pas dit cela, non tibi hoc dixi; cave dicas, j'ay ne vous pas dit cela.

[Page 31]Observa, si duae negationes & pronomen occurrant in his temporibus, primam negationem praecedere pronomini; pronomen verò signo, & ultimam negationem participio: ut, je ne vous ay pas aymé, ego non te dilexi. Moy, ponitur absolutè: ut, qui a fait cela? c'est moy, & non, c'est je. Haec tamen dicendi ratio abhorret à mortuis, ut ajunt, linguis; dicunt enim Latini, ego sum. Moy, dicitur per admirationem: ut, vous avez sait cela; moy! si velimus exprimere me in accusativo Latinorum, vertendum est, moy, in me: ut, ille me amat, il m'ayme. Imperativus retinet, moy; ut, donnez moy, da mihi.

Tu, toy, idem inter se statuunt discrimen, ac moy je; Tu est persona quae inservit verbis, & non removetur à suo verbo: Toy, solum inservit participio praesentis: ut, toy parlant: te amat, il t'ayme. Si exprimas, mihi, tibi, in dativo, moy, toy, vertuntur, in me, te; ut, tibi dixit, il t'a dit, &c.

Il, luy; il est persona: ut, il parle, ille loquitur: luy, solum praeponitur participio praesentis: ut, luy aimant.

Si fiat interrogatio, postponimus personam: ut, parlerat-il? qui a fait cela? luy! oüy luy: c'est luy que j'ay veu, ille ipse est quem vidi; luy, igitur ponitur absolutè facta interrogatione. Imperativus modus retinet, luy: ut, donnez luy, da illi.

Observa, luy, poni in dativo pro utroque genere absque interrogatione; v.g. allez chez Monsieur, & luy dites, eas ad Dominum, & dicas illi; pro foeminino: eas ad Dominam, & dicas illi, allez chez Madame, & luy dites: facta vero quaestione, ne dicas pro foem. luy, sed elle: ut, à qui avez vous donné cela? à elle. Cui hoc dedisti? illi. Exprimimus illum, illam, illud, Gallicè le, la; illi verò per luy, absque interrogatione: v.g. illum video, je le vois: illam tueor, je la deffends: illud exopto, je le veux. Exprimimus illos, illas, illa, per les: v.g. illas vidi, je les ay veües: illos amavi, je les ay aimez. Elle, & elles, inserviunt verbis loco nominativi: ut, elle parle, illa loquitur: elles parlent, illae loquuntur.

Eux, & leur, discrimen inter se statuunt; leur, ponitur, quando exprimimus Gallicè, illis, sine interrogatione: v.g. dediillis, je leur ay donné: dixi illis, je leur ay dit. Eux ponitur si fiat interrogatio: ut, à qui avez vous donné cela? à eux, à elles; alioquin pro utroque genere: ut, je leur ay donné. Nous, vous, sunt personae verborum, & quando patiuntur, praecedunt verbis: v.g. ille nos amat, il nous aime: vos jubet hoc facere, il vous commande, &c. Factä [Page 32]interrogatione postponimus, nous, vous; ferons nous? ferez vous? si exprimamus, nobis, dicendum erit, nous; vobis, vous: ut, nobis dixit, ilnous a dit. si exprimamus, me, te, se, post praepositiones, dicendum est, moy, toy, soy: v.g. chez moy, luy, toy, &c, contre toy, &c. Moy, toy, soy, luy, elle, sibi articulum indefinitum vindicant: ut, moy, de moy, à moy, de moy, &c.

Demonstrativa.

CE, cét, cette, celuy, celle: masculinum genus admittunt, ce, & cét; ce, ante consonantem: ut, ce cheval, hic equus, cét, antc hmutam, aut vocalem: v.g. cét homme, cét enfant; & articulum sibi poscunt indefinitum: ut, ce, de ce, à ce, &c. Celuy celle, eundem sibi vendicant articulum: celuy, & celle, requirunt post se relativum: ut, celuy que vous aimez: celle quei'ay veüe; cave dicas, elle que i'ay veüe: luy qui ayme Dieu sera sauvé, ut ajunt Angli, he which loveth God shall be saved. Celuy cy, celuy là, discrimen illud inter se statuunt: quod, celuy cy, denotat aliquid proximè nobis adhaerens: celuy là, aliquid magis remotum tamen, ce, cela, differunt; quòd, ce, praecedat semper que: v.g. ce que je vous ay dit, est vray: quod tibi dixi, verum est.

Ce, praecedit verbo substantivo, pro utroque numero si referatur ad supradictum verbum: v.g. ce sont mes amis, amici mei sunt: c'est bien la raison, ratio postulat. Facta interrogatione, ce, postponitur substantivo: ut, quel homme est ce? Contrà si ad adjectivum referatur, utendum est cela: ut, cela est utile, hoc est utile: c'est beau, non dicitur.

Il, ce, discrimen illud inter se statuunt; quod, ce, proprie demonstrat actionem hominis, c'est bien raisonné; sed, il, particula essentiam rei aut qualitatem ostendit: ut, il est bien fait, il est bien vestu.

Ceux, requirit relativum post se: ut, ceux qui aiment Dieu, illi qui amant Deum: & non eux qui aiment Dieu, seront sauvez: illi qui diligunt Deum, salvabuntur.

[Page 33]

CAPUT III. De Pronominibus Possessivis.

MOn, ton, son: meus, tuus, suus: ma, ta, sa: mea, tua, sua. Observa, ma, ta, sa, verti in, mon, ton, son, sequente vocali, vitandae asperitatis causâ, quam duarum vocalium concursus afferret: cave igitur dicas, ma ame; verùm, mon ame, anima mea: tmespée, tuus ensis: son amante, &c. In plurali, mes, tés, ses; ses, pro pronomine possessivo sumitur: ut, ses amis. Ces, est pronomen demonstrativum: ut, hi homines, ces hommes.

Exemplum pronominis possessivi: Rex jubet suos milites pugnare, le Roy commande à ses soldats de combaitre.

Mien, tien, sien, ponuntur vulgò absque substantivo, & assumunt articulum: ut, j'ay recen une lettre de mon amy, accepi unam epistolam ab amico meo; respondebit alius, & moy une du mien. Dicitur tamen. un mien amy: un sien amy: un tien amy.

Nostre, vostre, si jungantur substantivis, in plurali capiunt, nos, vos: ut, nos amis, vos amis. Absque substantivo sequuntur regulam: ut, les nostres, les vostres, & definitum sibi vendicant articulum: ut, j'ay receu une lettre de nostre amy, accepi epistolam ab amico nostro; respondebitur, & moy une du vostre, &c.

Leur, capit s, in plurali, si velimus exprimere, suos, suas, sua: ut, principes administrant suos populos, les Princes gouvernent leurs peuples.

CAPUT IV. De Pronominibus Relativis.

HAec relativa, le, la, les, pónuntur, si velimus exprimere Latinè illum, illam, illud, illos, illas, illa, ut superius dixi: v.g. amo illum, je l'aime: je la vois, illam video: illos verberavi, je les ay battus, &c.

Qui, que, in hoc differunt, quòd, qui inserviat verbis, loco nominativi: ut vidi unum hominem, qui mihi dixit hoc verbum, j'ay veu un homme qui m'a dit cette parolle. Si vero exprimamus, quem, [Page 34]quam, quod; quos, quas, quae; ante verbum activum ponendum est, que, pro utroque genere: ut, pater quem amo, le pere que j'aime: mulier quam deperibat, la femme qu'il amoit: mulieres quas vidi, les femmes que j'ay veües. Post praepositionem remanet, qui, licèt exprimamus, quem, quam, quod, &c. v.g. contra quem, contre qui: apud quem, chez qui, & Si vero fiat interrogatio; quem petitis? qui demandez vous? id est, quel homme demandez vous?

Quel, & lequel; laquolle, & quelle, differunt; quòd, quel, ponatur factâ interrogatione, sine comparatione: ut, quel homme a fait cela? Si fiat comparatio simul & interrogatio, additur articulus: v.g. lequel des deux a fait cela? uter amborum hoc fecit?

Quelle & laquelle eandem observant regulam. Sic distinguimus, qui, & lequel, vel laquelle. lequel eleganter ponitur initio periodi, repetendo supradictum substantivum: ut, lequel homme dit, &c. Si antea de tali homine fuerit sermo, laquelle idem observat, ac lequel. Dont ponitur loco duquel, vel de laquelle, desquels desquelles: v.g. l'espée dont vòus m'avez blesse, quo me caecidisti ense, &c.

Y est particula relativa; non declinatur, & ponitur loco praepositionum, referens locum vel rem: v.g. nous y sommes enclins, huic rei propensi sumus: v.g. va t-il à Paris? il y va: petitne Parisios? petit reverà.

Galli abhorrent à caeteris vernaculis idiomatibus non solum, sed à mortuis, ut aiunt, linguis: utuntur enim auxiliari, I'ay, pro substantivo je suis, si velint narrare aliquid praeteritum: v.g. il y avoit: I tali dicunt, era; Latini, eràt; Angli, there was: & haec phrasis cùm differt ab aliis linguis, propriè est Francismus.

En relativa denotat personam: v.g. qu'avez vous receu de vostre Maistre? quid accepisti à Domino? i'en ay receu quatre pistolles, accepi ab eo quatuor philip picas.

Denotat rem: v.g. que croyez vous de cela? quid de hoc credis? ie n'en croy rien, nihil omnino credo.

Denotat portionem: v.g. avez vous de ce pain là? i'en ay.

Denotat locum: v.g. venez vous de Paris? i'en vieus. Il y en a, id est, Il y a des personnes. In quâ ratione loquendi abhorremus à caeteris vernaculis linguis & à Latinis: dicunt enim Latini, sunt homines: Itali, so [...]o homini. Tout le monde m'en veut, id est, tout le monde est fasché contre moy.

En refertur ad partem aut quantitatem alicujus rei: ut, avez vous appris la musique? i'en ay appris une partie. Denique utimur en, [Page 35]quando fugimus repetitionem: v.g. avez vous des valets? suntne tibi servi? i'en ay.

CAPUT V. De Pronominibus Indefinitis.

CHaque & chacun, statuunt illud discrimen interse, quòd chaque jungatur substantivo; ut, chaque iour: chacun verò, raro praecedit substantivo.

Quelque & quelqu'un idem inter se ponunt discrimen: quelque jungitur substantivis; ut, quelqu' homme: quelqu'un, absque substantivo. Haec pronomina vendicant sibi articulum indefinitum: ut, quelqu'un, de quelqu'un, à quelqu'un; quelque, de quelque, à quelque, &c.

Personne, si significet neminem, sumit semper negationem ne: ut, personne ne l'aime, nemo illum diligit. Il & on differunt, quòd il inserviat verbo impersonali: ut, il saut, oportet. On, est vocabulum quo utimur, si velimus tacere nominativum: ut, on dit cela, hoc dicitur; vel quando authorem alicujus nuntii pervulgati non novimus: ut, qui dit cela? on le dit.

CAPUT I. De variis Verborum Temporibus, ac primum de praesenti.

PRaesenti utimur tempore, non secus ac Latini, caeteraeque uti solent nationes. Hoc unum discrimen, quod verbum substantivum in praesenti saepe vim habeat futuri: v. gr. Si Gallicè velimus exprimere, (Crastinus illucescet veneris dies) quod Latini per futurum tempus, nos etiam per praesens possumus; atque adeò rectè dicetur, il est demain Vendredy. Quâ loquendi ratione ut à caeteris abhorremus linguis, sic cum Graecâ, cujus est cum nostrâ in plerisque singularis affinitas, videmur nonnihil consentire. Commode enim futurum infinitivi, vel participiorum, vel per Aoristos, vel per praesens reddideris, adjuncta particula [...]: ut, quid facturum ejus patrem putatis? [...], pro [...]?

CAPUT II. De Imperfecto.

OBservabis primò, illud tempus habere aliquid commune cum imperfecto primo optativi: v.g. si les Princes Chrestiens embrassoient religieusement les interests des Venitiens, le Turc ne prendroit pas la Candie; si (prout è religione foret) conjunctis viribus opem suppetiasque Venetis afferrent Principes Christiani, nunquam profectò Turca Cretâ potiretur.

Secundò, utimur hoc tempore, si impedimentum afferatur actioni: v.g. le Roy d' Espagne conspiroit la perte des Provinces unies, mais la haute sagesse des Illustres Senateurs à coupé pié à ses desseins; [Page 38]Provinciis societatis inter se vinculo conjunctis extremam Rex Hispaniae moliebatur pernitiem, sed Illustrissimi atque sapientissimi praesides singulari sua prudentia consilium odorati pari faelicitate fregerunt.

Utimurillo tertiò, si probandae veritatis causa testes simus: v.g. I'estois à Paris, quand on tendit les chaisnes; Parisiis tum forte aderam, cùm omnis viarum aditus injectis & explicatis catenis praeclusus est. I'estois à Gravelinne, quand son Altesse Royale y donnoit ses ordres; Gravelingae in obsidione fui, cùm omnia ad nutum praepositi Serenissimi Aurelianensis Ducis regebantur.

Quartò, si agatur de actione longa quae dicat habitum: v.g. Alexandre le Grand, ayant essuyé les travaux de la guerre, alloit à la chasse; defunctis belli laboribus, interdum levandi animi causa, venationi operam dabat Alexander magnus. Sed si semel hoc contigerit, utendum est definito.

Quintò, post actionem brevem si sequatur que, vel qui: v.g. I'ay veu aujourd'huy un homme qui alloit aux champs; vidi hodie hominem rus petentem: il me dit hier qu'il alloit à la Messe; mihi dixit herise ire ad Sacrum.

Sextò, si fuerimus in eadem Provinciâ, in quâ res gesta sit: ut, I'estois en Languedoc, quand le Duc de Momorency fut decapité; in Tectosagensi solo tum aderam, cùm Henricum Momorantium plecti capite Rex jussit.

Septimò, si sermo sit de egregiis alicujus virtutibus, qualitatibus: v.g. Elisabeth Reyne d' Angleterre estoit tres-vertueuse, avoit esprit; Elisabetha Anglorum Regina eximia erat virtute praedita, ingenioque valebat.

Octavò, si sermo fiat de aetate defuncti hominis: v.g. Henry le Grand estoit agé de 54 ans, quand il mourut; annum jam quintum & quinquagesimum agebat Henricus maguus, cùm è vivis discessit.

Nonò, si agatur de inconstantia alicujus hominis: v.g. Ce Gentilhomme que vous connoissiez l'année passée, demeuroit tantost au Faux-bourg, tantost à la Ville; vir ille quem noveras anno praeterito, mox in urbe, mox in suburbio habitabat: il changeoit tous les iours de dessein; singulis diebus consilium mutabat.

Decimò, observandum est, particulam si, rejectam ab imperfecto primo optativi Latinorum, in praeteritum imperfectum indicativi rejici: v.g. Si la vertu regnoit, le vice seroit abbatu: quod Latini exprimunt per imperfectum subjunctivi; nos per imperfectum [Page 39]indicativi propter si: v.g. Si reguaret virtus, jaceret vitium: ne dicas, si la vertu regneroit, ut dicunt Angli, if vertue should reigne. Observabis igitur si, non admitti apud Gallos in praesenti optativi: ne dicas, si habeam, si i'aye; sed rejiciatur si in praesens indicativi, si i'ay. Si occurrat in imperfectis, in imperfectum indicativi rejiciatur: si haberem, si i'avois, & non si i'aurois. Tamen si fiat dubium, poterit occurrere in imperfecto primo: ut, ie ne sçay pas s'il me seroit cette grace, nescio vtrum hanc mihi gratiam concedere vellet. Particula si eleganter ponitur in plusquam perfecto secundo optativi: v.g. Si j'eusse eu, si habuissem. sed in plusquam perfecto primo, nisi fiat dubium, ne dicas si fuerim, si i'aye esté, sed si i'ay esté: caveant Angli, ne dicant si ie parleray, sed si ie parle.

Utimur praeterito imperfecto post lors que, tandis que, pendant que, durant que i'estois, &c.

CAPUT III. De Praeterito Perfecto.

GRaeci praeter praeteritum perfectum habent Aoristum, hoc est definitum praeteritum; ita etiam Galli, quod eorum linguae copiam & ornatum ostendit, duplex adhibent praeteritum pro rei significandae varietate: aliud est enim certum s& definitum, quo declaratur quo tempore res gesta sit; ut anno millesimo sexcentissimo, &c. cùm impetus faceret in Gallias Iand-Vverdus, totiusque Regni cladem temere meditaretur, captus fuit; dic Gallicè, le Ceneral Iean de Werd voulant innonder la France par ses armes, fut pris l'an mil six cens, &c. Quia tempus exprimitur quo res gesta sit. Si vero certum tempus nolis exprimere, utere indefinito: v.g. Le Roy Louis XIV. à veu toutes les plus celebres Villes de son Royaume, Ludovicus decimusquartus celeberrimas sui Regni urbes perlustravit.

[Page 40]

CAPUT IV. Quando utendum Definito.

DE finito utimur primò, si exprimatur tempus quo res geste sit: v.g. Le Roy assiegea Bourdeaux le 16. de Septembre 1650. Rex obsidione cinxit Burdegalas decimo sexto Septembris die anno 1650.

Secundò, quando narramus fabulam, si agatur de actione brevi. Alexandre le Grand rangea sous l'obeyssance de son Pere en son absence les Provinces revoltées, &c. Seditionem moventes rebusque novis studentes Provincias fregit Alexander Magnus, patrisque Imperio adjecit, &c.

Tertiò, si agatur de actione brevi extincti hominis: v.g. Louys XIII. prit la Rochelle. Ludovicus decimus tertius Rupellam ad deditionem coëgit. Licèt tempus non exprimatur, non possumus uti indefinito, si agatur de extinctis hominibus; sed poteris eleganter dicere, Louys XIV. a pris Bourdeaux, Ludovicus decimus quartus Burdegalas ad deditionem coëgit; quia tunc regnabat.

CAPUT V. Quando utendum Indefinito.

PRimò, utendum est indefinito, quando non exprimimus tempus: ut, Le Roy Louys XIV. a dessait les troupes Espagnolles devant Rocroy, praelio ad Rocroiam Hispanorum Regis copias delevit & fusit Ludovicus decimusquartus. Si agatur de aliquo subjecto non extincto, alioquin utendum esset definito: v.g. Le Mareschal de Chastillon fut tué à Charenton, praelio ad Charantonium Mareschallus Castilionius castrorum praefectus occisus est.

Secundò, si fiat demonstrativa temporis declaratio: v.g. Nous sommes allés de pis en pis ce siecle, cs'etan, ce mois, cette sémaine; in deterius ruimus hoc saeculo, hoc anno, hoc mense, hachebdomada. Quoties denique utimur pronomine demonstrativo, licèt [Page 41]tempus praeteritum sit à ducentis saeculis, si ita continge ret.

Tertiò, si exprimamus actionem eodem ipso die quo gesta sit: v.g. I'ay esté aujourd'huy à la Messe, ad fui hodie Sacro.

Utimur eodem tempore ante depuis: v.g. Nous avons ésté malheureux depuis deux ans, à duobus annis infortunati fuimus.

CAPUT VI. De plusquam perfecto, futuro, & Imperativo.

DE his temporibus & modo non quidquam moveam, cùm usitato Latinorum more illis utamur, nec discrimen cum aliis linguis, habere ullum videantur: tamen cave, ne dicas, si i'aimeray, ut aiunt Angli, if I will love; sed si i'ayme: in Imperativo, ne postponas personam verbo, nisi fiat quaestio: ut, aimésvous? amasne? vel in reciprocis: ut, levés-vous, surge. Sed noli imitari Anglos, qui dicunt, love thou, aime-toy; & Italos, qui dicunt, parli iu: sed simpliciter, parle.

CAPUT VII. De Optativo Modo.

QUoties ista Gallicè exprimuntur, utinam, etsi, dummodo, cùm, dum, ita ut, ne, toties utendum est optativo. Signa optativi sunt, encoreque, moyennantque, pourveuque, de sorteque, affinque, de peurque, iaçoitque: ut, utinam amem, Dieu vüeille que i'aime. Triplex est particula que; affirmativa, conditionalis, & adverbialiter sumpta. Affirmativa regit indicativum: ut, Ie croy que vous estes mon amy, credo te amicissimum meum esse. Sed si inseratur aliquod dubium in fide nostrâ, dicimus, ie crois que Monsieur soit mon amy. Si sit conditionalis, regit optativum. Si adverbialiter sumatur, regit indicativum: ut, ie croy qu'il viendra.

Utimur praesenti optativi, non secus ac Latini: ut, licèt habeam, encore que i'aye.

[Page 42]

CAPUT VIII. De Imperfectis Optativi.

GAlli duo adhibent imperfecta, quae unum & idem sunt apud Latinos: v.g. Haberem, utinam haberem; quae reddunt Gallicè, i'aurois & i'eusse. Illud igitur inter se statuunt discrimen, quòd primum rejiciat signa optativi: v.g. Ne dicas, pleust à Dieu que i'aurois, nec, affinque i'aurois; sed sic corrige, affinque i'eusse, pourveuque i'eusse. Secundum igitur imperfectum signa supra dicta admittit, nempe, Dieu vueilleque, moyennantque, de sorteque, de peurque, &c. Ne haberet, de peur qu'il eust, affin qu'il eust; & non affin qu'il auroit. De praeterito perfecto non quid quam moveam, cùm usitato Latinorum more, eo utamur.

Duo sunt etiam plus quam perfecta, quae idem etiam inter se statuunt discrimen: v.g. Primum non agnoscit signa, aliud admittit. Ne dicas, Dieu vueille que i'aurois eu; sed Dieu vueille que i'eusse eu. Futuro utimur, usitato Latinorum more.

CAPUT IX. De Infinitivo.

TRia sunt potissimum, quae docent quandonam utendum sit hoc modo. Primo, quando nomen substantivum, aut adjectivum vim habens substantivi, reperiuntur inter duo verba, quorum ultimum est in infinitivo, utendum est de: v.g. I'ay dessein d'aller à Paris, proficisci Parisios mihi proposui: il est impossible de faire cela, hoc facere impossibile est. Denique, si Latini utantur gerundio in di, v.g. Habeo desiderium te videndi, i'ay desir de vous voir; Hoc inesse discriminis mihi videtur, quòd aequè latè pateat ultima illa loquendi formula, ac prima; nimirùm, i'ay un dessein à vous communiquer: nec enim potes usurpare, nisi cùm de re illa communicanda nullam adhuc fecisti mentionem: v.g. Si occurrat tibi amicus, poteris tunc quidem dicere, i'ay un dessein à vous communiquer; Id quod Latini ita exprimunt, Habeo aliquid tibi communicandum: Ne dicas, i'ay quelque chose de [Page 43]vous communiquer. Sed, si ipse prior intulisset mentionem de eadem ip sa re, non posses dicere, i'ay dessein de vous dire cela, v.g. Sed dicendum erit, c'est cela que i'ay à vous dire, tantùm permutandus erit ordo vocum. Quidnam intersit inter utriusque sententiae sen sum, satis patet, aliud esse, cùm dicitur, Hoc habeo tibi communicandum consilium, &, Est mihi consilium de re aliqua tecum agere. Cùm enim dicis hoc consilium, nominatim aliquid significas; cùm verò dicis habeo rem tibi dicendam, nihil denotas post haec verba. Si sequatur aliud verbum, utimur de: v.g.

S'abstenir, abstinere.
Apprehender, timere.
Charger, jubere.
Desister, desistere.
Continüer, pergere.
S'efforcer, conari.
Differer, differre.
Permettre, permittere.
Protester, contestari.
Refuser, recusare.
Souhaitter, exoptare.
Se soucier, curare.
Prier, orare.
Commander, jubere.
Supplier, supplicare.
Contraindre, cogere.
Persuader, persuadere.
Dissuader, dissuadere.
Forcer, compellere.
Empescher, impedire.
Detourner, deturbare.
Divertir, divertere.
Coniurer, conjurare.
Conuier,
Inviter, invitare.
Conseiller, consilium praebere.
Deffendre, defendere.
Enjoindre, imperare.
Exhorter, hortari.
Proposer, proponere.
Promettre, polliceri.
Asseurer, affirmare.
Presser, urgere.
Haster, festinare.
Resoudre, resolvere.
Serepentir, poenitere.

v.g. Te oro ut hoc facias, ie vous prie de faire cela: te cogar hoc facere, te vous contraindray de faire cela, &c. Si postponantur verbo sustantivo hae voces, aise, fasché, marry, ioyeux, content, en peine; oportet uti de: v.g. Ie suis aise de cela, &c.

Observa, si duo verba occurrant, simpliciter ponendum esse infinitivum: ut Latini, volo legere, ie veux lire. Observa, si Latini utantur post verba motus supino, nos uti infinitivo simp liciter: v.g. Eo visum: ne dicas, ie vay de voir; sed, ie vay voir. Simpliciter utimur verò à post haec duo verba, commencer, & apprendre: v.g. Ie commence à monter à cheval; i'apprends à dancer: & post quaedam adjectiva utilitatis: ut, cela est propre à faire, &c.

Post haec verba utimur à, s'accoustumer, s'addonner, s'assuietir, [Page 44]s'amuser, s'apprester, s'attacher, condamner, destiner, entendre, s'employer: v. g. Ie m'addonne à lire la Theologie, Theologiae operam do, &c. Utimur pour, si Latini utantur ad: ut, ad habendum, pour avoir; & si Angli ponant, for to: v. g. For to go, pour aller.

Secundò, si Latini exprimant aliquid per conjunctionem vt, ut amaret, &c. pour aimer.

Tertiò, si Latini utantur gerundio in di, cum his vocibus, gratia, velcausa: v. g. Amandi causa, pour aimer; faciendi gratia, pour faire, &c.

CAPUT X. De Participio Praesentis.

PArticipium praesentis semper desinit in ant: v. g. Aimant, amans; lisant, legens; enseignant, docens, &c.

Praesentis participium non mutatur pro utroque genere, nisi loco adjectivi sumatur: ut, les gazoüillemens du Rossignol rendent une charmante harmonie, Lusciniae garritus concentum suavem reddunt.

Participium praeteriti mutatur in voce passiva in verbis reciprocis, & neutris passivis, & concordat in genere & numero cum suo nominativo: v. g. Elle est aimée, amatur; elle s'est levée, surrexit; elle est venüe, venit.

Participium praeteriti non mutatur in voce activa, nisi occurrat relativum patiens, que, inter substantivum & participium: ut, la mere que i'ay aimée, mater quam amavi; homines quos vidi, les hommes que i'ay veus.

Secundò, mutabitur si occurrant la, les: ut, vidi illam, ie l'ay veüe; verberavi illos, ie les ay battus; illas salutavi, ie les ay salüées.

Tertiò, si nous, vous, occurrant inter substantivum & participium: ut, nos remuneravit, il nous a recompenses; vos oravit, il vous a priés: si vous, nous, efferantur ad foemininum genus; dic, il nous a aimées.

Me, te, eandem observant regulam: il m'a aimée; il t'a veüe; si de foemina agatur. Si sequatur aliquod verbum participium, non mutatur; dic enim, ie ne les ay iamais entendu parler, nunquam eos loquentes audivi.

[Page 45]

CAPUT XI. De verbis Auxiliaribus.

DIcuntur auxiliaria, quia auxiliantur temporibus septem verborum; ut in caeteris linguis vernaculis legere est: Itali enim-utuntur iisdem verbis, non secus ac Galli: v. g. Ho amato, havevo amato, &c. Angli, I have loved, I had loved. Verbum i'ay, auxiliatur primo auxiliaribus ipsis: ut, i'ay eu, habui, i'ay esté; secundo verbis activis: ut, i'ay eu, habui, i'ay esté; secundo verbis activis: ut, i'ay aymé, amavi; tertio verbis simpliciter neutris.

Verbum substantivum ie suis, auxiliatur verbis neutris passivis, reciprocis, & passivis: v. g. Ie me suis levé, ie suis aimé, ie suis venu; surrexi, amor, veni.

CAPUT I. De Formatione temporum omnium verborum, sive regularium, sive irregularium.

PRima desinit in er, secunda in ir; tertia in oir; quarta in re.

Formabis praesens indicativi ab infinitivo, si tollas r: v. g. Parler, ie parle; aimer, aime.

Imperfectum primum, à futuro, si mutes ray, in rois: bastiray, bastirois.

Praeteritum imperfectum secundum formatur à secunda persona praesentis indicativi singularis numeri, addendo se: bastis, bastisse. Praesens etiam optativi habet bastisse; sed statuunt inter se illud discrimen, quod, bastisse in praesenti optativi, habeat penultimam brevem, baslisse secundum vero, imperfectum, longam, bastisse.

Participium praesentis, à prima persona pluralis numeri indicativi, mutando ons in ant: bastissons, bastissant.

[Page 47]

CAPUT III. De Formatione tertiae & quartae conjugationis.

PRaesens tertiae formatur ab infinitivo mutando evoir in ois: recevoir, reçois.

Participium participii praesentis, à prima persona pluralis numeri, mutando ons in ant: rendons, rendant; recevant.

SYNTAXIŚ.

SUbstantivum & adjectivum, (ut apud caeteras linguas) concordant in genere, numero, & casu: v. g. Homme vertueux, femme [Page 48]vertueuse, vir virtute praeditus, mulier virtute praedita. Adjectivum vulgò praeponitur substantivo: ut, bon soldat, egregius miles, adjectiva colorum postponuntur illi: v. g. vin blanc, vinum album, chapeau noir, pileus niger: dic vin vieux, vinum vetus; vin nouveau, vinum novum. Denique, si addatur adjectivum, nouveau, rebus à natura productis, aut scientia elaboratis, postponatur sub stantivo: v. g. prunes nou velles, herbes nouvelles, pruna nova, herbae novae; livre nouveau, liber novus.

Relativum cum suo praecedente concordat in genere & numero: ut, Deus quem amo, Dieu que i'aime. Que est illud relativum quod exprimunt Latini per quem, quam, quod, & dicitur patiens. Qui est nominativus verborum: ut, est mihi amicus qui bonus est, i'ay un amy qui est bon.

Unumquodque verbum suo gaudet nominativo: ne usitato Lat inorum more illum subaudias, nec à verbo removeas, nisi in temporibus compositis: ut, iene vous ay pas dit cela, non tibi hoc dixi. In aliis temporibus solum pronomen interponitur verbo, & nominativo: ut, ie vous aime, te amo. Cave etiam ne verbum ponas in fine periodi, ut Latini, sed initio; & observa diligenter actionem sequi passionem: ut, i'aime Pierre, amo Petrum: ne dieas, Pierre i'aime. Et postpone semper adverbium verbo: ut, ie ly diligemment, lego diligenter, Prima persona apud Latinos semper secundae praecedit: ut, ego & Petrus hoc fecimus: sed dic Gallicè, Pierre & moy nous avons fait cela; ne dicas, Pierre il a fait cela, sed Pierre a fait cela.

Si duo substantiva occurrant simul diversa significantia, ponatur ultimum in genitivo: ut, l'Ambassadeur du Roy, Regis legatus: caveant Angli ab ista phrasi, the Kings Ambassadour, le Roy Ambassadeur; sed dicant, l'Ambassadeur du Roy, the Ambassadour of the King.

Opus substantivum nomen rei postulat in genitivo: ut; i'ay besoin d'argent, mihi opus est pecunia.

Verbum attacher regit dativum: ut, il est attaché à son opinion, vir ille sententiae tenax est. Dégouster regit genitivum: ut, il est dégousté des lettres, litterarum fastidiosus; il est coupable de paresse, inertiae reus est.

Haec Adjectiva, conforme, semblable, commun, survivant, contraire, regunt dativum: v. g. il est conforme à la raison, est rationi conformis; il est semblable à un autre, alterius similis est; cela est commun à tous, hoc est omnibus commune; la vertu est contraire au vice, virtus vitio contraria est.

[Page 49]

CHAP. I. Of Articles.

THe French make use of two Articles onely. In the Nominative case singular they use le and la. Le serveth Nominatives os the Masculine Gender; as, le Roy the King: and la serveth Nounes of the Faeminine Gender; as, la Reine, the Queen. But in Nominatives Plurall they use but one Article onely forboth Genders: as, les Roys, Kings, les Reines, Queens.

A Noune of the Masculine Gender is thus declined.

Singulariter.

Le Roy Nominative The King.
Du Roy Genitive Of the King.
Au Roy Dative To the King.
Le Roy Accusative The King.
ô Roy Vocative O king.
Du Roy Ablative From the King.

Pluraliter.

Les Roys Nominative The Kings.
Des Roys Genitive Of the Kings.
Aux Roys Dative To the Kings.
Les Roys Accusative The Kings.
ô Roys Vocative O Kings.
Des Roys Ablative From the Kings.

An Examplle of Nounes of the Faeminine Gender.

Singulariter.

La Reine Nomin. The Queen.
De la Reine Genit. Of the Queen.
A la Reine Dativ. To the Queen.
La Reine Accus. The Queen.
ô Reine Vocat. O Queen.
De la Reine Ablat. From the Queen.

Pluraliter.

Les Reines Nomin. The Queens.
Des Reines Genit. Of the Queens.
Aux Reines Dativ. Tō the Queens.
Les Reines Accus. The Queens.
ô Reines Vocat. O Queens.
Des Reines Ablat. From the Queens.

But when a Noune of the Masculine gender begins either with a Vowell, or with the mute letter H, to avoid the harshnesse of sound, which would otherwise be caused by the meeting together of two Vowels, you must borrow the Article of the Nominative Case, and insert it betwixt the two Vowels, that it so may render the sound the lesse harsh, and unpleasing. Take heed therefore that you say not, l'homme, du homme; but,

l'homme. the Man.
de l'homme. of the Man.
à l'homme. to the Man.
l'homme. the Man.
ô homme. O Man.
de l'homme. from the Man.
l'Empereur. the Emperour.
de l'Empereur. of the Emperour.
à l'Empereur. to the Emperour.
l'Empereur. the Emperour.
ô Empereur. O Emperour.
de l'Empereur. from the Emperour.

[Page 51]The Plurall number retains its own Articles, les, des, aux, les, des.

If a Noun begin with a Vowel, or with the mute letter H, it requireth an Indefinite Article: as, l'Empereur, de l'Empereur; because an Indefinite Article goes before the Articles themselves: as, de l'ame. His a Mute letter, when it is found in such words as are derived from the Latine: as, homme, homo: but in those words that are purely French, it is a Letter, and is to be pronounced: as in these words, honte, hameau, you must not say in the Genitive Case, de l'hameau, but du hameau; and so in the rest.

All Proper Names of Men and Women, and, in a word, of all things bearing the shape and figure of Men or Women, as also whatsoever are not naturall to brute Beasts, but are imposed upon them, are declined in this manner: as for example,

Pierre,
Pierre,
Bucephal,
de Pierre,
ô Pierre,
de Bucephal,
à Pierre,
de Pierre.
&c.

The French Tongue differs not from other vulgar Tongues in the use of the Articles of the Nominative of both Numbers, as I shall illustrate unto you by some examples. The Italians say, il Ré; the English, the King.

But here you are to observe that the English, if you ask them any question by the Particle quà, that is, which way; in the proper Names of Provinces, and Kingdoms, alwayes suppresse the Articles: as for example, Par où passeréz-vous? the English answer thus, by France; as if we should say in French, par France. But you must take heed of this Anglicisme. Yet if the French answer this question in the proper Names of such Countries, the vulgar signification whereof is unknown to them, they also omit the Article: as for example, Pour aller à Londres, ie passay par Kent.

Thus much may suffice touching the Articles of the Nominative Case. We shall now say something of the Article of the Genitive.

The English never put the Article to Nouns of dignity: as, my Lord President; we saying, Lord the President, Monsieur le President, &c.

They say, Henry the fourth, and we fay, Henry fourth without an Article.

[Page 52]They never put an article to proper names of Kingdoms or Provinces: as, France; we say la France, the France.

They put not the article of the nominative in these compounded words, Frenchman, Englishman; we say, les François, les Anglois.

Observe again, that when the English speak of things by themselves, they suppresse the article: as, Wine is dear in France: we say in French, the wine is dear in France: meat is cheap in England, la viande est a bon marché en Angleterre: and a Frenchman puts alwayes the article, unlesse in proper names.

The French have a two-fold Article for the Genitive Case.
A Definite, and an Indefinite.

THe Definite Article denotes some certain and particular thing: as for example, I'ay leu un Arrest du Parlement du Paris, I have read a Decree of the Parliament of Paris; C'est le commandement de la Reine de France, It is the Command of the Queen of France. If it doth not particularly specifie what it speaks of, but that we speak in a Generall Way only, we must then say, I'ay leu un Arrest de Parlement, I have read a Decree of Parl. for it seems not to be meant any more of the Parliament of Paris, then of that of Roan. Some variety of examples will make the businesse yet a little clearer: A la Battaille de Norlinghen un Cavalier fut blessé d'un coup de pistolet, At the Battel of Norlinghen a Horseman was shot with a pistoll; Le Mareschal de Gassion fut blessé d'un coup de mousquet, Marshall Gassion was hurt by a Musket-shot. And if we would signifie, for example, with what sort of Gunne any one was wounded, we must speak it in French after this manner; Vn homme fort considerable receut un coup du canon, qui estoit braqué sur la contrescarpe du fossé, A certain very Eminent person was shot with a Canon that was planted upon the Works: Il m'a donné un coup de l'espée qu'il gaigna à la bataille de Lens, He wounded me with the sword that he got at the Battell of Lens.

[Page 53]

CHAP. II. Of the Indefinite Article, and the use thereof.

IF the Adjective be put before the Substantive, you must then use the indefinite article: as, C'est un Prince de grande esperance, It is a Prince of very great hopes.

Yet if the adjective be of speciall notation, although it be put before the substantive, we notwithstanding use the definite article: as for example, Ce tombeau enferme les cendres du grand Henry de Mommorency, This Tombe incloseth the ashes of the great Henry of Mommorency.

So likewise if a Pronoune be put before a Noune substantive, we are to use an indefinite article: as, Lovis XIV. triomphera de nos ennemis, Lewis XIV. shall triumph over our Enemies.

You are here to except all pronouns absolute, which all require an article definite to be joyned with them.

The word Meilleur, if it be used in the Comparative degree, requires an indefinite article: as for example, Nous avons de bon vin, il ne s'en boit point de meilleur, We have very good Wine; there is no better drunk. But if it be used in the Superlative degree, it requires an article definite: as for example, Aristote etoit un des meilleurs Philosophes qui ayent jamais esté, Aristotle was one of the best Philosophers that ever were.

Plus, in the Comparative degree requires an indefinite article: as for example, La France produit de plus braves hommes que l'Espagne, France bringeth forth much gallanter men then Spain. But in the superlative it must have a definite article: for example, Cet homme est un des plus considerables de ce siecle, This man is one of the most excellent persons that this Age hath produced.

The indefinite article is used before these adverbs following; fort, si, assez, beaucoup, tant, trop, aussi: as for example, Alexandre le grand estoit d'assez belle taille; Alexander thé Great was of a stature large enough: Il estoit sui oy de tant de braves gens; He had so many gallant men that followed him: Il formoit de si genereux desseins; All his Undertakings were so Noble.

[Page 54]Prepositions require an indefinite article before them; as namely, chéz, aprés, contre, environ, à l'entour, auprés: as for example, Ie viens de chés vous, I come from your house; I'ay heurté à la porte d'aprés la vôstre, I knockt at the next door to yours.

The same article is also attributed to the matter whereof any thing is made: as, Cheval de bronze, A horse of brasse; Toison d'or, A golden fleece; Escu d'or, A Crown of gold. But if we would expresse the matter it self, we must then use the definite article: as for example, Ce manteau est faict de la laine, que i'ay achetée cette semaine; This Cloak is made of the Wool that I bought this week.

The indefinite article is also put after adverbs of quantity: as for example, Pompée avoit beaucoup de courage, Antioque trop peu de coeur, Neron trop d'impudence; Pompey was a man of great courage, Antiochus was a weak-spirited man, Nero was a very impudent person. But if an adverb of quantity be found in other things, which may be divided without any injury to the other part; that is, if we specifie such a certain thing, and not any other, we must then make use of the definite article: as for example, Donnez moy un peu du vin que nous beûmes hier, give me a little of the Wine that we drank of yesterday.

Adjectives that signifie Plenty, and scarcenesse, will also have an indefinite article: as, Cette Tour est pleine de munitions de guerre, This Castle is well furnished with all manner of warlike Ammunition; Cét homme est pauvre d'esprit, This man had no great store of wit.

If a Noune substantive be put before the proper names of Kingdoms, or Countries, we must use the indefinite article: as for example, Royaume de France, The Kingdom of France; Province de Picardie The Province of Picardy; Duc de Borgogne, The Duke of Burgundy. Yet we do not say, Courd' Aydes, but Cour des Aydes: This is a Court in France, where all Causes that concern the Revenue of the Crown are heard.

Adjectives of praise will likewise have an indefinite article: as, Digne de lo [...]ange, worthy of praise.

Substantives of quality require the same article also: as for example, Le Mareschal de Gassion estoit homme de coeur, Marshal Gassion was a man of very great courage.

Nouns which denote privation, or defect, will likewise have [Page 55]the same article: as for example, Eclipse de Soleil, & de Lune, an Eclipse of the Sun and Moon.

The same article is used after the Verbe Manquer: as, Manquer d'argent, to want money.

The same article is also put before Nouns of Number: as for example, Le Roy d'Espagne perdit une armée de dix mille hommes à Rocroy, The King of Spain lost an Army of ten thousand men at Rocroy.

All Nouns denoting any of thè liberall Arts require the same article, if this word Maistre, Master, go before them: as, Maistre de Musique, Master of Musick: so likewise of the Sciences: as, Regent de Philosophie, Professor in Philosophy: as also of Musical Instruments: as Ioüeur de Violon, a Violist.

But if we point at any one particular Person, we must then use the definite article: as, C'est le maistre de la Musique du Roy, this is the Master of the Kings Musick.

You must not say, Maistre de dance, but Maistre a dancer: Maistre en fait d'armes. For this manner of speaking hath now obtained among Courtiers, and all the more ingenious fort of people.

The proper names of Cities will have the same article: as Blois, de Blois. Yet notwithstanding these proper names following are to be excepted, for they must all have an article definite; as, la Capelle, la Bassée, le Pout l'Evesque, le Ponteau de mer, le Havre de grace, le Pontde l'Arche, le Mans, la Fléche, la Rochelle, la Haye. Thus we say, la Haye, de la Haye; le Mans, du Mans, &c.

Dieu, if it be meant of the true God, will have an indefinite article: as, C'est le Commandement de Dieu, This is the will of God. But if we speak of those false Gods, whom the heathen worshipped, we must then use the definite: as, le Dieu Iupiter, du Dieu Iupiter; if so be we would expressely signifie this God, and no other.

The proper names following, both of men, women, Gods, Spirits good and bad, will have the same article; as, Gabriel, de Gabrie; Marie, de Marie; Michel, de Michel; Belzebuth, de Belzebuth. To which you may also adde all proper names which are given to brute beasts, and were not naturall unto them; as Bucephal, de Bucephal.

Articles will have an indefinite article before them: as, de l'argent.

[Page 56] Force, hath a two-fold signification: sometimes it signifies Violence, and sometimes it denotes a Multitud of any thing. If it signifie Force, or Violence, it must have an indefinite article: as, à force d'hommes le Roy a pris Bourdeaux, the King took Bourdeaux only by the notable and signall valour of his Souldiers. But if it signifie a Multitude, it is then an adjective: as, Force femmes, many women; Force soldats, many souldiers.

These Verbs, orner, enrichir, vestir, couvrir, must have the same article: as for example; Vne maison ornée de tapisserie, A house hung with Tapestry; Vne femme vestuë de soye, a woman cloathed in silk; couverte de terre, covered with earth.

A Noun, that signifieth the manner how any thing is done, will have an indefinite article: as, la merest agitée de tempestes, the Sea grows rough with tempests; Il a fait cela de guet à pens, he did this purposely; Il brusle de desir, he burns with desire; Il meurt de faim, he is perishing for want of meat; Ensté de gloir, puffed up with pride.

Adjectives that signifie desire, will have the same article: as, ambitieux de loüange, desirous of praise; envieux de gloire, greedy of glory.

So likewise nouns of measure: as, Vn boisseau d'avene, a bushel of Oates.

Also adjectives that signifie forme: as, Beau de visage, of a comely countenance.

Bien, when it is taken quantitatively, requires a definite article.

The names of moneths and daies will have the same article: as, de Ianuier, de Mardy.

The article of unity requires the same also: as, I'ay receu une lettre d'un de mes amis; I have received a letter from a friend of mine.

Note that à is put before the Dative case, when we do not particularly specifie some certain thing: as, I'ay communiqué ma maladie à des Medecines, I have made known my disease to the Physicians: which is no more to be undersood as spoken of the Physicians of Blois, then of those of Tours.

But if we do determinately specify the thing, we are then to use the definite: as, I'ay communiqué ma maladie aux Medecius de Blois.

[Page 57]

CHAP. III. Of the Definite Article.

ALl other Nouns will have a definite article; as, Le Seigneur, du Seigneur, &c.

If there be a division of any thing, without any breaking of the other part, we use the article of the genitive case: as for example; Donnez moy du pain, give me some bread. But if we ask for the whole loaf, we must then say, Donnez moy le pain qui est sur la table. But if an adjective (as we said before) be put before a Noun-substantive signifying the thing, part whereof we desire; we must then use the indefinite article: as, Donnez-moy de bon pain, give me some good bread.

Playing, if it be meant on Musicall Instruments, requireth the genitive case: as, Ioüer de lamusette, to play on the Bagpipes.

All other Playing must have a dative case: as Ioüer à la boule, to play at bowles.

CAPUT IV. Of Adverbs of Motion.

THe French have three Adverbs of Motion, or as the Latines speak, three Questions: namely Ou, that is, Where, or Whether; D'ou, that is, Whence; par ou, that is, Which way. And here you are to note, that if the question be asked by oú, if it be meant of abiding or motion, you must answer by the dative case; but if it be made touching the proper names of Cities, you must then use the indefinite article: as for example; Où alles vous? à Paris; Whether go you? to Paris: If of abiding any where, Où demeuresvous? à Londres: Where dwell you? at London.

Note that you are here to except those proper names of Cities before set down; namely la Rochelle, &c. all which proper names require a definite article: as, Il va à la Rochelle, &c. He goes to Rochell.

[Page 58]But if we speak of the proper names of Kingdoms, or Provincés, we then use the Preposition en: as, Oû allés vous? en France; en Normandie; en Languedoc, &c. Note moreover, that if a Pronoune be put before the noune, the same preposition is likewise to be used: as for example; Il va en mon iardin, en ma maison, en son écurie, &c.

Observe secondly, that this preposition en is never joyned with the article le; where this therefore is to be used, you must take the article of the dative case: as, I'iray au Iardin; and not, en le iardin.

If the question be made by Où, in these proper names of Countries, you must use the preposition dans; as Anjou, Poictou, Perigor, Dauphiné: for example, Il est allé dans le Poictou, le Dauphiné, &c.

In all other nounes we must use the article of the dative case: as, aller aux champs; au sermon.

If this word Ciel be taken for Paradise, it requireth a definite article: as, son ame est au Ciel, his soul is in Heaven.

Enfer, and Purgatoire must have the preposition En: as, Ilest en enfer, en Purgatoire.

CHAP. V. Of the Question, D'oú; that is, Whence.

IF the question be made by d'oú, that is, Whence, From what place; you must answer in French by the genitive case: as for example; D'où venes-vous? Whence come you? Ie viens de la maison, I come from home; Ie viens de la ville, I come from the Citie; Ie viens des champs, I come out of the Country.

But if we speak of the proper names of Cities, Suburbs, Towns, or Villages, we use the indefinite article: as, Ie viens de Rome, I come from Rome; de Clery; de Chyverny; de Vienne.

Only you must remember still to except la Rochelle, and those other names of Cities before spoken of, all which require a definite article: as, Ie viens de la Rochelle, I come from Rochell, &c.

This proper name of a Suburb is also excepted, namely, le Fois, the Beech-tree: as, Ie viens du Fois: a part of the Suburbs of Blois is thus called.

[Page 59]Among the proper names of Villages these are excepted; la Chausee, la Chappelle Vendomoise, la Chapelle blanche; and all others which are compounded.

In the proper names of Kingdoms we must use the indefinite article: as for example; Il vient de Pologne, de France, d'Angleterre, he comes from Polonia, from France, from England.

In the proper names of Provinces, Dukedomes, and Counties, you must likewise use the indefinite article: as, Ie viens de Normandie, de Tyrol, de Picardie. Notwithstanding we may here use a definite article. But these following are (though not so rightly) excepted from the former Rule; namely, le Languedoc, la Beausse, le Dauphiné, le Limosin, le Perigor, le Poictou; (all which require a definite article, rather then an indefinite:) as, Ie viens de Poictou, I come from Poictou.

So likewise if a noune adjective ora pronoune be put before a substantive, we must use the indefinite article: as, Ie viensde ma maison, I come from my house; Il revient de sa métairie, he returns from his Farme.

If this word Ciel signifie Paradise, it will have a definite article: as for example; Dièu est descendu du Ciel, God is come down from Heaven. Enfer also will rather have a definite, then an indefinite article: as, le diable sort à tous momens des enfers, pour tourmenter les pecheurs, the Devill goes every moment out of Hell, to torment sinners.

CHAP. VI. Of the Question, par où; that is, Which Way.

IF the question be made by paroù, that is, Which Way; we must answer in the nominative case, by repeating the article: as for example; Par où passerés vous? Which way will you passe? Par la fenestre, through the Window.

In the proper names of Cities, Towns, Suburbs, and Villages, the French Tongue differs not from the use of all other vulgar tongues, for as well the French, as all others, in this case use the preposition per, by: as for example; Par où passerés-vous? Which way will you go? par Blois, by Blois.

In the proper names of Kingdoms, Provinces, Dukedomes, [Page 60]and Counties, we also repeat the article: as, Par où passerés-vous? par la France, par le Dannemarc, &c.

Yet we do not repeat the article, in speaking of those places, whose vulgar appellations are not so well known unto us: as for example; Par où passerés-vous? Which way will you go? par Kent, Suffolk, Norfolk; by Kent, Suffolk, Norfolk, which are English Counties.

CHAP. VII. Of the Degrees of Comparison.

THe French, as the Latines, have three Degrees of comparison: the positive, the comparative, and the superlative. The positive is a noune adjective: as for example; Fort, strong. The comparative requires plus to be put before it: as, plus fort, stronger. After the comparative there alwayes follows que: as for example; Le Roy de France est plus puissant que le Roy d'Espagne, the King of France is more powerfull then the King of Spaine. You must therefore take heed, that you fall not into that vulgar errour, (which those that are not very skilfull in the French tongue, are very apt to fall into,) and speak as the Latine doth; Petrus est fortior Ioanne, Pierre est plus fort de Iean: but you must say, que Iean.

Bon good, and Mauvais evill, do not admit of plus before them: but you must say, Meilleur, better; Pire, worse. In the word Petit, small, you may either say, plus petit, or, moindre; and, le plus petit, or, le moindre.

The superlative Degree is thus distinguished: If it be in the comparative Degree, first, you then put an article before plus: as for example; Ciceron estoit le plus grand Orateur de son temps, Cicero was the greatest Oratour of his time. But if there be not the comparative, we then suppresse also the article: as for example; Alexandre estoit tres vaillant, Alexander was a most valiant man.

If there be a comparative in the businesse, the superlative Degree then governs a genitive case: as, C'est le plus sçavant homme de tous, this is the most learned man of all.

[Page 61]

CHAP. VIII. Of an Apostrophe.

THese three vowels, a e i, if a vowell begin the following word, are cut off. A is cut off only in the article la; as, l'ame, but not if it go before any of the other vowels. I is cut off in the particle si only, when it comes before il; as, sil vous plaist E is cut off in Monosyllables; as, que, me, te, se, &c. as qu'il: yet e is not cut off in ce, when it is accented, or if it be put for cela: otherwise it is cut off, when it goes before a verbe substantive, as, c'estoit.

In words of two Syllables e is cut off only in pronouncing, but not in writing. But we must here except quelqu'un, chacqu'un; quelqu'une, chacqu'une; puis qu'il.

Of the forming of the Plurall Number.

THe plurall number is formed, by adding one of these three Letters, s x or z: yet z is very seldome used; but instead thereof you have s, and the e before it is accented: as, aimés.

All nounes therefore will have their termination in s in the plurall number, except those which end in al; for their plurall will be in x: as, animal, animaux.

Those nounes that end in ail, have commonly x in the plurall number: as, émail, émaux.

But we must hence except, Focal, attiraïl, maïl, serraïl, naval, bal, ca, poictral, all which will have s in the plurall, and not x. Ciel makes Cieux; so Genoüil, véroüil, genoux, veroux, &. Vieïl, vieux; Artificiel, artificieux; universel, universaux.

Those nounes that end in eau, or eu, will have v: as feu, feux; beau, beaux: So oeïl, yeux.

[Page 62]

CHAP. I. Of the Genders of Nounes.

THe French have three Genders onely; the Masculine, the Feminine, and the common Gender.

All nounes which end in any of these letters following, b, c, d, f, g, h, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, x, y, z, are of the Masculine gender: which I shall illustrate by some examples; as namely, plomb, lead, bléd, wheat, oeuf, an Egge, sang, blood, estomach, the stomack, sel, salt, renom, renoun, garçon, a Boy, champ, a field, cocq, a cock, rubis, a rubie, bonnet, a night-cap, choix, choise, nez, a Nose.

E Foeminine doth not only very much perplexe all Forrainers, but even the most skilfull French Masters themselves also; who, though they have long laboured to clear the difficulties in this particular, have not yet been able to make all things so clear herein to those that are learners of the Language, as they should have done. I therefore for my part, though I confess my self by farre the most unlearned of all the rest, do first of all affirme, that all nounes ending in e, if they be pure French words, are of the Foeminine gender: which I shall make clear by these examples following.

Balance, a Ballance; Arquebuse, an Harquebuss: banniere, a Banner: branche, a Bough; harangue, an Oration; charge, a Burthen; bride, a Bridle; caracole, the riding the Ring; digue a ditch, or bank.

Nounes that end in ege, age, iege, rade, amme, asme, eme, esme, oire, arre, erre, are of the masculine gender; except guitarre.

[Page 64]Among those that end in age, you must except all those nounes that are derived from the Latine: as, rage, rage; plage, image, cage, page, &c. So likewise marge, a margine.

From the Generall Rule, of those nouns that are of the fem. these following are to be excepted: bransle, a sudden shock; masque, a Visard; coffre, a Coffer; cuivre, Copper; date, the date of a Letter; desastre, a disaster; greffe, a Clerks Office. To which you must adde the infinitive moods of verbs: as, le boire, &c. that, although they be pure French words, are of the foem.

Those nouns which end in e foeminine, are of the foeminine gender, if so be they be derived from Latine words of the foeminine gender: as, mere, a Mother, from the Latine word Mater.

All nouns which are derived from such Latine words as are either of the masculine, orneuter gender, are of the masculine gender in French: as, Pere, from Pater, a Father; Theme, from Thema a Theme.

Hence are to be excepted, Asperges, Sparagus; auge, a trough; estudes, Studies; haleine, breath; dentelle, Needle-work, angoisse, anguish: all which are of the foeminine gender.

Nouns which end in ée, are of the foeminine gender; as, Armée, an Armie: except those which descend from Latine words that are of the masculine gender; as, Athée, an Atheist: and also the proper names of Men; as, Pompée, Pompey.

Those nouns that end in é, with an accent over it, that is, if they be pure French, or are derived from the participle of the preterfect. Tense of the Latine, are of the masculine gender: as, aimé, loved; costé, a side.

But if they come from Latine words that end in tas, they are then of the foeminine gender: as, bonté, from bonitas, goodnesse.

Those that end in a are of the masculine gender: as, un fa.

Adjectives that end in e foeminine, are of the Common gender: as, honneste homme, an honest man; femme honneste, an honest woman.

Nouns that end in ion, that are descended from Latine verbals ending in io, are of the foeminine gender: as, Consideration, Consideration.

The infinitive moods of verbes, as also adjectives, or pronouns, [Page 65]that have no substantive joyned with them: as, Le manger, Le mien, Le nostre, Le haut. So likewise the proper names of Gods, Men, Angels, both good and bad, are of the Masculine Gender.

The names of Dignities and Arts, both Mechanicall and Liberall, as also all Offices belonging to men, are of the Masculine Gender: as, Pape, the Pope; Boulanger, a Baker; Musicien, a Musician; Conseiller, a Counseller.

The names of Windes, Moneths, and Daies, are also of the Masculine gender.

The names of Rivers follow the Gender of their termination; as do also the proper names of Kingdoms, or Provinces.

The proper names of Women, and of Goddesses, are of the Foeminine Gender.

The names of Dignities, and of Arts, whether Liberall or Mechanicall, if they belong to women, are likewise of the Foeminine gender: as, l', Abbesse, la Conseillere, &c.

The proper names of Cities are of the Masculine gender, unlesse the word Ville be put before them: as, Londres est beau. But if this word, Ville, go before, you must then say, la ville de Londres est belle; and not, la ville de Londres est beau.

The names of Fruits are of the Foeminine gender, excepting those, whose Termination is in one of those Letters, where of we have before spoken; as, Melon, a Melon: or such as come from Latine words of the masculine gender; as Concombre, a Cowcumber.

The names of Moneths in composition are of the foeminine gender: la my-Septembre. Those nouns that end in u, y or i, are of the masculine; as, Festu: except Vertu, Glu. Those that end in ean au ay eu ou, are of the foeminine gender: as, Couteau, a Knife, &c.

[Page 67]Those that end in ie, are of the foeminine gender: as, Voirie; the Laistall, or common dunghil of a Town.

CHAP. II. Of Pronouns.

THe French divide their pronouns into pronouns Personall, Demonstrative, Possessive, Relative, and Indefinite.

The pronouns personall are these: Ie, moy, tu, toy, il, luy, nous, vous, eux, ils.

Ie and Moy, have only this difference betwixt them: that Ie serves as a person to Verbs; as, Ie parle. I speak; but Moy serves only the participle of the present tense; as, Moy aimant, I loving.

If a question be askt, we then put the person after the Verb: as, feray ie cela? Shall I do that? parleray-ie? Shall I speak?

Ie ought alwayes to be joyned to its Verb: yet in the compounded tenses of verbs, if any negatives or pronouns come in the way, they are put betwixt the person and the signe. By the signe I mean the auxiliary Verbs, of which the compound tenses are made up. As for example, Ie ne vous ay pas dit cela, I did not tell you this: take heed that you say not, I'ay ne vous pas dit cela.

Observe, that if two negatives and a pronoune come together in these tenses, the first negative is to be put before the pronoune, and the pronoune before the signe, and the last negative before the participle: as, Ie ne vous ay pas aym, I loved thee not at all. Moy is put absolutely: as, quia fait cela? Who did that? c'est moy, 'Twas I: not c'est le. Yet this manner of speaking was never used by the Latines; for they alwaies said, Ego sum. Moy is used also by way of admiration: as, vous avez fait cela, you have done this: Moy! what, I! If you would expresse the Latine accusative Me, you must turn Moy into Me; Il m'ayme, He loves me. The Imperative mood retaineth Moy: as, donnez moy, Give it me.

Tu and Toy have the same difference betwixt them, that Ie & Moy have. Tu, is the person that serveth verbs, and is never found [Page 68]without its Verbe. Toy serveth only to the participle of the present tense: as, Toy parlant, thou speaking.

If you would expresse the datives, mihi, tibi, you must then turn Moy and Toy, into Me, Te: as Il t'a dit, He told thee.

Likewise in Il and Luy, Il is the person; as, Il parle, He speaketh: Luy is put onely before the participle of the present tense; as, Luy aymant, He loving.

If a Question be asked, we alwaies put the person after the Verbe: as, parlera t-il? Will he speak? qui a fait cela? luy? Who did that? He? o [...]y luy, yes He; C'est luy que i'ay veu, this is the man that I saw. Luy therefore is put ablolutely, when a Question is asked.

The Imperative mood retaineth luy: as, donnez luy, Give it him.

Observe that luy is put in the dative case for both Genders, except a Question be made: as for example, allez chez Monsieur, & luy dites, &c. Go to such a Gentleman, and tell him, &c. allez Madame, & luy dites, &c. Go to such a Lady, and tell her. &c. But if a Question be askt, you must not then use luy for the foeminine gender, but elle: as, à qui ave? vous donné cela? à elle; To whom gave you that? to her. We expresse the Latines illum, illam, illud, in French, by le, la; but illi by luy; unlesse a Question be askt. For example; Illum video, I see him; in French, Ie le vois: illam tueor, I defend her, ie la defends: illud exopto, I desire that, Ie le veux. We expresse illos, illas, illa, by les: as, illas vidi, I saw those women, Ie les ay veües: illos amavi, I loved those men Ie les ay aymez. Elle & Elles, serve for nominative cases to Verbs: as, elleparle, she speaketh; elles parlent, they speak.

Eux and leur, have also this difference betwixt them, that leur is used, when we would expresse in French the Latine dative, illis, without an Interrogation: as for example, dedi illis, I gave it them, Ie leur ay donné: dixi illis, I told them, Ie leur ay dit. Eux is put when there is an Interrogation: as, à qui av [...]z vous donné cela? à eux, à elles. or otherwise, for both genders you may use leur: as, Ie leur ay donné.

Nous and Vous are persons of Verbs, and when they suffer, they go before the Verbe: as for example, Il nous aime, He loveth us; Il vous commande, &c. He commandeth you to do this. If a Question be askt, they are then put after the Verbe: as, serons nous? [Page 69]ferez vous? If we would expresse the Latines nobis, you must use nous; and for vobis, say vous: as, nobis dixit, he told us, il nous a dit. If you would expresse their me, te, se, after prepositions, you must say, moy, toy, soy: as for example, Chez moy, toy, luy, &c. Contre toy, &c.

Moy, toy, soy, luy, elle, require an indefinite article: as, Moy, de moy, à moy, moy, de moy, &c.

Of Pronounes Demonstratives.

THe pronounes demonstrative are these; Ce cét cette, celuy, celle. Of these, ce and cét, are belonging to the Masculine gender. Ce is used when the word following begins with a Consonant; as, ce cheval, this Horse: Cét is put before such words as begin either with the Mute letter H. or with a vowell; as for example, cét homme, cét enfant: and both of them will have an indefinite article; as, ce, de ce, à ce, &c. Celuy and celle will have the same article also.

Celuy and celle require a relative after them: as, Celuy que vous aymez; celle que i'ay veüe: you must take heed that you say not, elle que i'ay veüe: Luy qui ayme Dieu sera sanvé, as the English speak, He that loveth God shall be saved.

Celuy cy and celuy lá have this difference betwixt them; that celuy cy denotes something that is next us; but celuy lá, that which is further off.

Ce and cela differ in this; that ce alwaies goes before que: as for example, Ce, que je vous ay dit est vray, That which I told you is true.

Ce goes before the Verbe substantive, and serves for both numbers, if so be it be referred to the said Verbe: as for example, Ce sont mes amis, These are my friends: c'est bien la raison, It is very good reason. If a Question be askt, ce is put after the substantive: as, quel homme est ce? what man is this? If it have reference to an adjective, we must then use cela: as, cela est utile, This is profitable. We do not say, c'est beau.

Il and ce have this difference betwixt them; that ce properly denotes the Action of a man; as, c'est bien raisonné: but the particle Il sheweth the essence, or quality of a thing; as, Il est bien fait, Il est bien vestu.

[Page 70] Ceux requireth a relative after it: as, ceux qui ayment Dieu, seront sauvez, They who love God, shall be saved: we must not say, Eux qui ayment Dieu, &c.

CHAP. III. Of Pronounes Possessives.

THe pronounes possessives are these; Mon, ton, son, Mine, thine, his, Masculine: Ma, ta, sa, Mine, thine, his, foeminine.

Observe that Ma, ta, sa, are turned into Mon, ton, son, if so be the word following begin with a vowell; only for avoiding the harshness of sound, which would be caused by the coming together of two vowels. Take heed therefore that you do not say, ma ame, but, mon ame, My soul; ton espée, Thy sword; son amante, &c. In the plurall number we say, mes, tes, ses. Ses, beginning with an S, is a pronoune possessive; as, ses amis, His friends: but Ces with a C, is a pronoune demonstrative; as, Ces hommes, these men.

An example of the pronoune possessive may be this: Le Roy commande à ses soldats de combaure, the King commandeth his Souldiers to fight.

Mien, tien, sien, are commonly put with out a substantive, and assume an article to themselves: as, I'ay receu une leure de mon amy, I have received a Letter from my friend; and another perhaps will answer, & moy une du mien, and I one from mine: yet we do also say, un mien amy, un tien amy.

Nostre and Vostre, if they be joyned to substantives in the plurall number, are turned into Nos and Vos: as, Nos amis, Our friends; Vos amis, Your friends. But with out a substantive, they follow the ordinary rule; as, les nostres, les vostres: and they also require a definite article; as, I'ay receu une letue de nostre amy, I have received a Letter from our friend: and another may answer, & moy une du vostre, &c.

Leur taketh it to selfs in the plurall, when we would expresse the Latines, suos suas sua: as, les Princes gouvernent leurs peuples, Princes govern their people.

[Page 71]

CHAP. IV. Of Pronounes Relatives.

THese relatives, le, la, les, are put when we would expresse the Latines illum, illam, illud, illos, illas, illa, as we have formerly said: as for example, Ie l'ayme, amo illum, I love him; Ie la vois, illam video, I see her; Ie les ay battus, illos verberavi, I have beaten them.

Qui and Que differ in this, that Qui serveth to verbs in place of a nominative: as, I'ay veu un homme qui m'a dit cette parolle, I saw a man who said unto me thus. But if we would express the Latines quem, quam, quod, quos, quas, quae, we must then put que before a verbe active, and so it will serve for both genders: as, le pere que j'aime, the Father whom I love; la femme qu'il aimoit, the woman that he loved; les femmes que i'ay veües, the women that I saw. But after a preposition, you must use qui, although you would expresse the Latines quem, quam, quod, &c. as for example; Contre qui, contra quem, against whom; Chez qui, apud quem, with whom, or, at whose house. So likewise if a question be askt: as, qui demandez vous? quem petitis? whom seek ye?

Quel and Lequel differ in this, that Quel is used when there is a question askt, with out any comparison; as, quel homme a fait cela? who did this? But if there be both a comparison and a question made too, you must then adde the article: as for example, lequel des deux a fait cela? which of the two did this?

Quelle and Laquelle have the same difference betwixt them.

Qui also is in like manner distinguished from Lequel or laquelle. Lequel is elegantly put in the beginning of a sentence, if you repeat the aforesaid substantive: as, lequel homme dit, &c. and if there have been mention before of any such person, laquelle is used in the same manner that lequel is.

Dont is put instead of Duquel, or de laquelle, desquels, lesquelles: as for example, l'espée dont vous m'avez blesse, the sword wherewith you have wounded me, &c.

Yis a particle relative, which is not declined, and is put in place of a proposition, signifying either the place, or thing [Page 72]spoken of: as for example, Va-t-il á Paris? il y va. Doth he go to Paris? yes, he goeth thither.

The French language differs not only from all the Modern, but from the ancient languages also; for they use the auxiliary verbe I'ay, for the verb substantive Ie suis, when they mean to signifie any thing that is past: as for example, il y avoit; the Italians say, Era; the Latines, Erat; the English, There was. And this manner of speech which is so much different from that of all other vulgar Tongues, is properly a Francisme.

En is a Relative which denotes the person: as for example, Qu'avez vous receu de vostre maistre? What have you received from your Master? I'en ay receu quatre pistolles, I have received of him four pistolls.

It also denotes the thing: as for example, Que croyez vous de cela? What do you believe of this? Ie n'en croy rien, I believe nothing at all of it.

It denotes also a part of any thing: as, avez vous de ce pain la? i'en ay.

It denotes likewise the place: as for example, venez vous de Paris? Come you from Paris? I'en viens, I come from thence: Il yen a, that is to say, Il y a despersonnes. In which manner of speaking, the French differs from all other vulgar languages, & from the Latine too: For the Latines say, Sunt homines, the Italians, Sono homini. Tout le monde m'en veut, that is to say, Tout le monde est fasché contremoy.

En is referred also to a portion or quantity of any thing: as, avez vous appris la musique? i'en ay appris une partie.

Lastly, we use En, when we would avoid the repeating of any thing: as for example, avez vous des valets? Have you any Servants? I'enay, yes, I have,

CHAP. V. Of Pronounes Indefinite.

CHaque and chacun differ in this; that Chaque is joyned to a substantive; as, Chaque iour: but Chacun is seldome put before any substantive.

Quelque and quelqu'un are in like manner differenced: for quelque [Page 73]is joyned to substantives: as, quelqu'homme; but quelqu'un is put without a substantive.

These Pronounes do also require an indefinite article; as quelqu'un, de quelqu'un, a quelqu'un; so quelque, de quelque, à quelque, &c.

The word Personne, if it signifie no man, hath alwaies a negative joyned with it: as, Personne ne l'aime, no body loves him.

Il and On differ in this; that Il serveth verbes Impersonalls; as, Il faut, oportet, it ought, &c. On, is a word which we use, when we would suppresse the nominative; as, On dit cela, This is said: or when we know not the Author of some common report; as, Qui dit cela? Who saies this? On le dit, It is so reported, or it is the common report.

CHAP. I. Of the forming of Nounes substantives of the foeminine Gender.

Nounes substantives of the foeminine Gender are made by adding to the Masculine the letter e only: as, Charpentier, a Carpenter; Charpentiere, a Carpenters Wife: Conseiller, a Counseller; in the foeminine gender you must say Conseillere.

Those words that end in ien must have a double n: as for example, Chien, a Dog, Chienne, a Bitch. Those that end in on must have ne added to them: as, Guenon, a he Ape, Guenonne, a she Ape. Prince and Comte will have sse added to them: as, Prince, a Prince, Princesse, a Princesse; Comte, a Count, Comtesse, a Countesse.

[Page 74]Those that end in eur must have euse: as, Menteur, a Lier; for the Foeminine, you must say Menteuse: Procureur a Proctor, or Attorney, in the Foeminine Procureuse. Here are to be excepted Acteur, Empereur, Electeur, Ambassadeur, Tuteur, Inventeur, Amateur, Protecteur, Conservateur, which: will have for their foeminines Actrice, Imperatrice, Electrice, Ambassadrice, Tutrice, Inventrice, Conser vatrice, Protectrice. Vengeur and pecbeur will have Vengeresse, pecheresse: Gouverneur, and serviteur, make gouvernante, servante.

Those that end in eau are turned into elle: as, Macquereau, a Pimpor Pandar, Macquerelle a Bawd.

Tesmoin, Autheur, Possesseur, Accuseur, Successeur, are not changed at all, but serve for the Masculine gender as well as the feminine. But Dieu, a God, will have Deesse, a Goddesse; Roy, a King, Reyne, a Queen; Nepveu, a Nephew, Niepce, a Niece; Levrier, a Greyhound dog, Levrette, a Greyhound bitch; Fils, a Son, Fille, a Daughter; Loup, a he-Wolf, Louve a she-Wolf; Nourrissier, a Man-Nurse, Nourrice, a Woman-Nurse.

CHAP. II. Of Nounes Adjectives of the Foeminin gender, which are formed of Adjectives Masculine.

ALI Adjectives ending in e are of the Common gender: as, honneste, honest; facile, easie.

Those Nounes that end in é, with an Accent, take unto them e foeminine: as for example, hebeté, Dull, hebetée. Adjectives that end in on take ne to them: as, Bon, good, bonne: if they end in e, they take to themselves che; as, blanc, white, blanche.

You must here except Grec, Turc, Public; Grecque, Turque, Publique.

Those that end in g will have in the foeminine gender. ve: as, long, longue, long. Benin takes in a g also: as, Benigne, Courteous.

Those that end in d take e unto them: as, grand, great, grande. But here you are to except crud, raw, nud, naked, which make in the foeminine crüe, nüe. Vert, green, will have verte: you must not say verde.

[Page 75]Those that end in i and y will have e added: as, amy, a Friend, amie; ioly, Jolly, iolie.

Those that end in il have le added to them: as, gentil, gentle, gentille.

If they end in s, e is added: as, courtois, curteous, cour [...]oise. You must here except bas, gras, gros, expres, espais, frais, tiers; to all which you adde another s: as, grasse, &c.

Those that end in f, turn f into ve: as for example, chetif, wretched, chetive.

Those that end in t, have te added: as, net, clean, nette. Here you must except Prudent and Patient, which take unto them an e only; and especially those others that end in ent and ant.

Courtaut, noiraut, rustaut, fourdaut, change t into de: as, Courtaude, &c.

Those that end in u have e added to them: as, menu, small, menüe. Those that end in x have se added: as, heureux, happy, heureuse. You must here except doux, sweet, douce; faux, false, fausse; roux, ruddie, rousse. Nouveau, if the word following begin either with a vowel, or with the mute letter H, turns the last syllable into el: as, nouvelan, a new year; nouvelhoste. Neuf and nouveau, which both signifie the same thing, have yet this difference betwixt them; that nouveau is used in speaking of such things as are produced by Divine Providence, as are the fruits of the Earth, and all Plants and Herbs; it is used also of such things as are done by knowledge in any of the liberal Arts and Sciences: as, livre nouveau, a new Book; air nouveau, a new Aire (in Musick:) Neuf is used in speaking of any thing wrought by the hand of an Artificer, or Handicraftsman: as, table neufve, a new table; chapeau neuf, a new Hat.

[Page 76]

CHAP. I. Of Verbes and their severall Tenses: and first of the Present Tense.

WE use the Present Tense in the same manner that the Latines and all other Ntions use it: in this onely we differ from them; that the Verb Substantive in the present tense hath often with us the power and force of the future: as for example, if we would render this in French, Crastinus illucescet, Veneris dies, To morrow will be Friday; we should say, Il est demain Vendredy. In which manner of speaking, as we differ from most other Languages, so do we seem something to agree with the Greek; with which our Language hath in many things very great Affinity. For there you may very aptly expresse the future tense of the infinitive mood, or of participles, either by the Aorists or by the present tense, if you but only adde the particle àv: as for example, [...] (for [...]) [...]; What do you think his Father will do?

CHAP. II. Of the Preterimperfect tense.

YOu are to observe in the first place, that this Tense hath something common with the first preter-imperfect tense of the optative mood: as for example; Si les Princes Chrestiens embrassoient [Page 77]religieusement les interests des Venitiens, le Turc ne prendroit pas la Candie, If the Princes of Christendome (as their religion bound them to do) had joyned together in the assistance of the Venetians, the Turk had never taken Candie.

Secondly, we use this tense, when an Action meets with any Impediment: as for example; le Roy de Espagne conspiroit la perte des Provinces unies, mais la haute sagesse des illustres Senateurs a coupé pié à ses desseins, the King of Spain conspired the ruine of the united Provinces; but the great Wisdome of those Illustrious States-men happily prevented his designes.

Thirdly, we use it when we give witnesse of any truth: as for example; I'estois à Paris quand on tendit les chaisnes, I was at Paris when the streets were all chained up; I'estois à Gravelinne, quand son Altesse Royale y donnoit ses ordres, I was at Graveling when all things were ordered as it pleased the Duke of Orleans.

Fourthly, when we speak of any long Action which seems to imply a habit or constant practise: as for example; Alexandre le grand, ayant assuyé les travaux de la guerre, alloit à la chasse, Alexander the Great, when he had made an end of any fight with his Enemie, usually went a hunting. But if we speak of a thing that happened but once only, then we must use the definite preterperfect tense.

Fifthly, we use this tense when we speak of some short action, where either Que or Qui follow: as for example; I'ay veu auioud'huy un homme qui alloit aux champs, I saw a man to day that went into the Countrey; Il me dit hier qu'il alloit à la Messe: He told me yesterday, that he was going to Masse.

Sixthly, if it be in the same Province in which a thing was done: I'estois en Languedoc, quand le Duc de Mommorency sut decapité, I was in Languedock when the Duke of Mommorency was beheaded.

Seventhly, it is used when there is mention made of any notable vertues or Qualities of any person: as for example; Elisabeth Reyne d' Angleterre estoit tres vertueuse, avoit esprit, Elizabeth Queen of England, was a very vertuous woman, and a woman of excellent Parts.

Eighthly, if we speak of the Age of any person that is dead: as for example; Henry le grand estoit agé de 54 ans quand il mourut, Henry the fourth of France was four and fifty years of age when he died.

[Page 78]Nithly, When we speak of the inconstancy of man: as for example; Ce Gentilhomme que vous connoissiez l'année passée, demeuroit tantost au fauxbourg, tantost dans la Ville, The Gentleman that you were ac quainted with last year, lived sometimes in the Suburbs, and sometimes in the City; Il changeoit tous les iours de dessein, He changed his mind every day.

Tenthly, You are to observe, that the particle Si, which in Latine is usually joyned with the Prerterim perfect tense of the subjunctive mood, is with us joyned with the Preterimperfect tense of the indicative mood: as for example; Si la vertu regnoit, le vice seroit abbatu: Which the Latine expresseth, not as we do by the Preterimperfect tense of the indicative mood, but by the Preterimperfect tense of the subjunctive mood, thus; Si regnaret virtus jaceret vitium. You must take heed that you do not say, Si la vertu regneroit, as the English do, If vertue should reigne, &c. You are therefore to take notice, that Si is never in French joyned with the present tense of the optative mood, but alwaies with the present tense of the indicative: for we do not say, Si i'aye, If I have, but, Si i'ay. And so likewise if it to be joyned with a preterimperfect tense, it must be that of the indicative mood: as, Si i'ayois, if I had, and not, Si i'aurois. Yet if we speak doubtfully of any thing, we may joyne it with the preterimperfect tense of the optative mood: as, ie ne sçay pas s'il me feroit cette grace, I know not whether he would do me this favour or not. The particle Si is elegantly put in the preterplu perfect tense of the Optative mood: as for example, Si i'eusse eu, If I had had, &c.

But we do not say in the preter perfect tense of the optative (unlesse we speak doubt fully) Si i'aye esté, If I have been; but, s i'ay esté. Englishmen must take heed that they say not, si ie parleray; but, Si ie parle.

We use the preterimperfect tense also after lors que, tandis que, durant que, pendant que, durantque i'estois, &c.

CHAP. III. Of the Preterperfect Tense.

THe Greeks, besides their preterperfect tense, have also an Aorist, that is to say, a definite preterperfect tense. In like [Page 79]manner the French also, (such is the copiousnesse and Elegancy of their Language) have a twofold preterperfect tense, which they use according as the variety of the thing they are to express shall require. The one of these is of a certain, and definite signification, and declares the time when any thing was done: as for example; le Generall lean de Werd, voulant inonder la France, par ses armes, fut pris l'an mil six cens, &c. Generall Iohn de Werd, purposing to overrunne all France with his Army, was taken in the year 1600. Where you see the time is exprest, wherein this thing was done.

But if you purpose not to denote the particular time when such a thing was done, you must then use the indefinite preterperfect tense: as for example; le Roy Louis XIV. a veu toutes les plus celebres villes de son Roy aume, King Lewis XIV. hath taken a view of the most famous cities of his Kingdom.

CHAP. IV. In what cases the Definite Preterperfect Tense is to be used.

VVE use the definit e preterperfect tense, first, when we would expresse the time when any thing was done: as for example; Le Roy assigea Bourdeaux le 16 de Septembre 1650. The King sate down before Bourdeaux the 16 of September 1650.

Secondly, when we tell any Story, where the Action was not long in doing: as, Alexandre le Grand rangea sous l'obeyssance de son Pere en son absence, les Provinces revoltes, &c. Alexander the Great reduced those Provinces, that had revolted in his Fathers absence.

We use it, thirdly, when we speak of any short Action of a person that is dead: as for example, Louis 13 prit la Rochelle, Lewis 13 took Rochell. And although we do not expresse the time when any thing was done, we must not use the indefinite preterperfect tense, if so be we speak of those that are dead: But you may elegantly say, Louis 14 a pris Bourdeaux, Lewis the fourteenth hath taken Bcurdeaux, because he still reignes.

[Page 80]

CHAP. V. When the Indefinite Preterperfect Tense is to be used.

FIrst, we use the indefinite preterperfect tense, when we expresse not the time when a thing was done: as, Le Roy Louys XIV. a défait les troupes Espagnolles devant Rocroy, K. Lewis XIV. defeated the Spanish Forces at the Battel of Rocroy. But this is to be understood, if we speak of any person now in being; for otherwise we must use the definite: as for example; Le Mareschall de Chastillon fut tué à Charenton, Marshall Chastillon was slain at Charenton.

Secondly, if there be a demonstrative Declaration of the time: as for example; Nous sommes allés de pis en pis ce siecle, cét an, ce mois, cétte sémaine; We are grown worse and worse in this Age, this year, this Moneth, this Week. We use it likewise, as often as we use any Pronoune Demonstrative; although the thing spoken of had been done two hundred Ages before, if it were possible.

We use it, thirdly, if we speak of any Action the same day that it was done: as for example; I'ay esté aujourd'huy à la Messe, I have been at Masse to day.

Lastly, we use the said tense before depuis: as for example; Nous avons esté malheureux depuis deux ans, We have been unhappy these two years.

CHAP. VI. Of the Preterpluperfect, and of the Future Tenses: as also of the Imperative Mood.

I Shall not need to say much of these Tenses, and Mood; being vve use them in the same manner that the Latines do; neither is there any difference betvvixt ours and all other Languages, in this particular. Yet you must take heed that you say not, si i'aimgray, if I vvill love, as the English speak; but, si i'ayme.

[Page 81]In the Imperative mood you must not put the person after the Verb; nor in any other case, except there be a Question askt: as, aimés-vous, Do you love? or in the Imperatives in Reciprocalls: as, leves-vous, Rise you up. But you must not imitate the English, who say, Love thou; in French, aime toy; nor yet the Italians, who say, parli tu, speak thou: but you must barely say, parle, and no more.

CHAP. VII. Of the Optative Mood.

AS often as we expresse any of these Latine words, Vtinam, etsi, dummodò, cùm, dum, ita ut, ut ne, we must use the optative mood. Now the Signes of the optative mood are these; encoreque, moyennantque, pourveuque, de sorteque, affinque, de peurque, jaçoitque: as, Vunam amem, God grant I love, Dieu vüeille que j'aime. The particle que is threefold; Affirmative, Conditionall, and Adverbial. When it is affirmative, it governs an Indicative Mood: as, Ie croy que vous estes mon amy, I believe that you are my Friend. But if there be any doubt in our beliefe of the thing, we then say, Ie crois que Monsieur soit mon amy, I suppose the Gentleman to be my Friend. If it be conditionall, it requires an Optative Mood. When it is taken adverbially, it governs the Indicative Mood: as, Ie croy qu'il viendra, I believe that he will come.

We use the present Tense of the optative mood no otherwise then the Latines do: as, licét habeam, although I have, encoreque i'aye.

CHAP. VIII. Of the Preterperfect Tense of the Optative Mood.

THe French have two Preterimperfect Tenses in the Optative Mood; both of which have the self-same signification [Page 80]with the Latines preterimperfect tense optative: as to instance in Haberem, which the French render by j'aurois, and j'eusse. Only there is this difference betwixt these two, that the former of them rejecteth the Signes of the optative mood: as for example, you must not say, pleust à Dieu que j'aurois, nor affinque j'aurois; but thus, affinque que j'eusse, pourveuque que j'eusse. The second therefore of these preterimperfect tenses admits the said Signes of the optative; namely, Dieu vueille que, moyennantque, de sorteque, de peurque, &c. Ne haberet, in Latine, is rendred by the French, de peur qu'il eust: Vt haberet, is with them, affinqu'il eust. you must not say, affin qu'il auroit. I shall say nothing of the preterperfect tense, because it is used by the French in the same manner as it is by the Latines.

They have also two preterpluperfect tenses, which are in the same manner differenced, as preterimperfect tenses are: as for example, the former of them admits not the Signes of the optative, but the other doth. Therefore you must not say, Dieu vueille que j'aurois eu; but, Dieu vüeille que j'eusse eu, Would to God I had had, &c.

We use the Future Tense in like manner as the Latines do.

CHAP. IX. Of the Infinitive Mood.

THere are three things especially, which give us notice when we are to use this Mood. The first is, when a noune substantive, or a noune adjective, that hath the force of a substantive, cometh betwixt two Verbs; for in this case the latter Verb must be the infinitive Mood, and usually hath the particle de joyned with it: as for example; I'ay dessein d'aller à Paris, I have a purpose of going to Paris; il est impossible de faire cela, It is impossible to do this. Also you use the infinitive mood, joyned with de, where the Latines use the Gerund in di: as for example; Habeo desiderium te videndi, I have a desire to see thee; the French say thus, j'ay desir de vous voir. But here we are to note, that this other way of speaking, namely, j'ay un dessein à vous communiquer, alth ough it be of as large extent as the former; yet we cannot [Page 81]make use of it, save only where there hath no mention as yet been made of the thing that is to be communicated. As for example; if we meet with a Friend by chance, you may then say to him, j'ay un dessein à vous communiquer; which the Latines expresse thus, Habeo aliquid tibi communicandum, I have somewhat to communicate unto you: But you must not here say, j'ay quelque chose de vous communiquer. But if your Friend had first himself mentioned the businesse, you cannot then say, j'ay dessein de vous dire cela; but you must say, c'est cela que j'ay à vous dire; changing only the order of the words. Now that there is much difference betwixt these two manners of speaking, I have this to communicate unto you, and, I have something to communicate unto you, is very evident. For when you say, I have this to communicate, &c. you seem to denote some particular thing: but when you say, I have something to communicate, &c. you expresse nothing particularly.

If another Verb come after any of these Verbs following, we use the particle de: as for example,

S'abstenir, to abstain.
Apprehender, to apprehend.
Charger, to charge.
Desister, to desist.
Permettre, to permit.
Protester, to protest.
Refuser, to refuse.
Souhaitter, to desire.
Se soucier, to take care.
Prier, to pray.
Commander, to command.
Supplier, to supply.
Contraindre, to constrain.
Persuader, to persuade.
Dissuader, to dissuade.
Forcer, to force.
Empescher, to hinder.
Detourner, to avert.
Divertir, to divert.
Continuer, to continue.
S'efforcer, to endeavour.
Confirmer, to confirme.
Differer, to defer.
Conjurer, to conjure.
Convier to invite.
Inviter to invite.
Conseiller, to counsell.
Deffendre, to defend.
Enjoyndre, to enjoyne.
Exhorter, to exhort.
Proposer, to propound.
Promettre, to promise.
Asseurer, to assure.
Presser, to presse.
Haster, to hasten.
Resoudre, to resolve.
Se repentir, to repent.

As for example; Ie vous prie de faire cela, I desire you do to [Page 84]this thing; Ie vous contraindray de faire cela, I will compell you to do this. If any of these words following come after a Verb substantive, you must use de also: as for example; Ie suis aise de cela, &c. Observe, that if two Verbs come together, the infinitive must be put down simply: as, Ie veux lire, I will read. Observe moreover, that where the Latines use a Supine after Verbs of motion, we use the infinitive without any addition: as for example, eo vijum, I go to see; you must not say in French, Ie vay de voir, but, Ie vay voir. After these two following Verbs, we use à; namely, Commencer, and apprendre: as for example; Ie commence à monter à cheval; j'apprends à dancer: And so likewise after certain adjectives that signifie profit; as, cela est propre à faire, &c.

We use à after these Verbs following; viz. S'accoustumer, s'addonner, s'sassuietir, s'amuser, s'apprester, s'atlacher condamner, destiner, entendre, s'employer: as for example; Ie m'addonne á lire la Theologie, I study Divinity. Where the Latines use ad, we use pour: as, ad habendum, pour avoir. So where the English say, for to, we likewise use pour: as, For to go; we say this, pour aller.

Secondly, we use the infinitive mood in all places, where the Latines expresse any thing by the Conjunction, ut; as for example; Vt amaret, pour aimer.

Thirdly, we use it where the Latines use the Gerund in di, with either of these words, gratia, or causa: as, Amandi causa, pour aimer; faciendi gratia, pour faire, &c.

CHAP. X. Of the Participle of the Present Tense.

PArticiples of the Present Tense alwayes end in ant: as, Aimant, loving; lisant, reading; enseignant, teaching, &c.

The participle of the present tense is never changed in either gender, unlesse it be put in the place of an adjective: as, les gazoüillements du Rossignol rendent une charmante harmonie, The singing of the Nightingale yields a very pleasant harmonie.

[Page 85]The participle of the preterperfect tense is changed in the passive voice, in reciprocall Verbs, and neuter-passives, and it agreeth with its nominative case in gender and number: as, Elle est aimée, She is loved; Elle s'est levée, She is risen; Elle est venüe, She is come.

The participle of the preterperfect tense changeth not in the active voyce, unlesse it meet with a relative signifying suffering: as, la mere que i'ay aimée, the Mother whom I loved; les hommes que i'ay veus, the men that I saw.

Secondly, it changeth, whensoever it meeteth with la, or les; as, je l'ay veüe, I saw her; Ie les ay battus, I beat them; Ie les ay salüées, I saluted them,

Thirdly, if nous, or vous come betwixt a substantive and the participle; as, il nous a recompensés, he hath rewarded us; il vous a priés, he intreated you. If vous or nous have reference to the foeminine gender, you must say, il nous a aimées.

Me and te observe the same rule; as, il m'a aimée; il t'a veüe, if it be spoken of a Woman. If any Verb follow the participle, it is not changed: For we say, Ie ne les ay iamais entendu parler, I never heard them speak.

[Page 121]

CHAP. I. Of the forming of the Tenses of all Verbs, both Regular, and Irregular

THe first endeth in er, the second in ir, the third in oir, the fourth in re.

You forme the Present Tense, of the first Conjugation, by taking from the infinitive, r: as for example; Parler, je parle; aimer, aime.

The Preterimperfect Tense is formed from the first person of the Indicative Plurall, by turning the last letter save one into i: as, Dançons, dançois.

The first definite is formed from the Infinitive, by turning er into ay: as from the infinitive souper, is made the definite, je soupay.

The indefinite is formed also from the infinitive, by taking away r, and putting an accent over the é: as, Parlé. The Auxiliary Verb joyned with the participle of the preterperfect tense passive is of the same use in French, that it is in other languages, in making up the seven Tenses.

The future tense is formed from the infinitive, by adding ay, as, de ieuner, déieuneray.

The second person of the Imperative Mood is formed from the second person of the indicative, by taking away s: as, poussés, pousse.

The present tense of the optative mood is the same with the present tense of the indicative, if you but adde i in the first and second persons of the plurall number: as, for parlons, parlés; you have parlions, parliés.

The first imperfect tense is formed of the future tense of [Page 122]the optative mood, by changing ray into rois: as, danceray, dancerois.

The second is formed from the second person singular of the definite preterperfect tense, by adding se: as, parlas, parlasse.

The participle of the present is formed of the first person of the plurall number, by turning ons into ant: as, aimons, aimant.

CHAP. II. Of the forming of the Tenses of the second Conjugation.

THe present tense is formed from the infinitive Mood, by turning r into s: as, ravir, je ravis.

The preterimperfect tense is formed from the first person plurall, by changing n into i: as, finissons, finissois.

The definite is made from the infinitive, by changing r into s: as, ravir, je ravis.

The participle of the preterperfect tense passive, (which joyned with the auxiliary Verb, serves to make up the whole seven tenses) is formed of the infinitive, by taking away r: as, bastir, basti, or basty.

The future tense is formed of the infinitive, by adding to it ay: as, ravir, raviray.

The second person of the imperative Mood is formed from the second person of the present tense of the indicative Mood, by taking away s: as, bastis, basti, or basty.

The present tense of the optative Mood is formed from the second person of the indicative Mood, and present tense, by adding se: as, bastis, bastisse.

The first preterimperfect tense is formed from the future, by changing ray into rois: as, bastiray, bastirois.

The second preterimperfect tense is formed from the second person singular of the present tense of the indicative Mood, by adding se: as, bastis, bastisse. The present tense of the optative Mood is also, bastisse: but there is this difference betwixt them, that in bastisse of the present tense in the optative Mood the last [Page 123]syllable but one is short, bastisse; but in the second preterimperfect tense it is sounded long, bastisse.

The participle of the present tense is formed from the first person plurall of the indicative Mood, by changing ons into ant: as, bastissons, bastissant.

CHAP. III. Of the forming of the Tenses of the third, and fourth Conjugations.

THe present tense of the third Conjugation is formed of the infinitive, by changing evoir, into ois: as, recevoir, reçois.

The present tense of the fourth Conjugation is formed from the infinitive, by changing re into s: as, vendre, vends.

The preterimperfect tense of the third Conjugation is formed from the first person of the plurall Number, by changing ions into ois: as, receuions, receuois; vendions, vendois.

The preterperfect definite of the third Conjugation is formed of the infinitive, by changing evoir into eus: as, concevoir, conceus.

The definite of the fourth Conjugation is formed from the first person plurall by changing ons into is: as, rendons, rendis.

The future tense of the third Conjugation is formed from the infinitive, by changing oir into ray: as, devoir, devray.

The future tense of the fourth Conjugation is formed from the infinitive, by changing re into ray: as, rendre, rendray.

The imperative is formed from the second person singular of the indicative Mood, by taking away s, and turning i into y: as, reçois, reçoy; prend, prends, or pren.

The present tense optative of the third Conjugation is formed from the second person of the indicative Mood, present tense, by taking away s and adding ve: as, reçois, reçoive: and it is conjugated as j'aime.

The present tense optative of the fourth conjugation is formed from the infinitive, by taking away r: as, rendre, rende: & it is likewise conjugated as j'aime.

[Page 124]The first preterimperfect tense is formed from the future, by changing ray into rois: as, receuray, receurois; rendray, rendrois.

The second preterimperfect tense is formed from the definite, by adding se: as, receus, receusse; rendis, rendisse.

The participle of the present tense is formed from the first person plurall, by changing ons into ant: as, rendons, rendant; recevons, recevant.

The Syntaxis.

THe substantive and adjective (as well in French, as in all other Languages) agree in case, gender, and number: as for example; Homme vertueux, a vertuous Man; Femme vertueuse, a vertuous woman.

The adjective is commonly placed before the substantive: as, bon soldat, a good Souldier. But adjectives of Colour are put behind it: as for example; Vin blane, white Wine; chapeau noir, a black Hat. So likewise we say, Vin vienx, old Wine; Vin nouveau, new Wine.

Lastly, if the adjective nouveau, be joyned with any thing that is either produced by nature, or contrived by the Art of man, it is put behind the substantive: as for example, prunes nouvelles, new Plummes, Horbes nouvelles, new Herbs; Livre nouveau, a new Book.

The relative agrees with its antecedent in gender and number: as Dieu que j'amé, God whom I love. Que in French is that relative, that the Latines express by quem, quam, quod; and is termed, the suffering Relative. Qui serves for a nominative case to Verbs: as, j'ay un amy qui est bon, I have a Friend who is a good man.

Every Verb must have its nominative case: which is never to be left out, and understood, as the Latines use; neither is it to be parted from its Verb, except it be in the compound tenses: as, je ne vous ay pas dit cela, I did not tell you that. In all other tenses the Pronoune only is put betwixt the nominative case and the Verb: as je vous aime, I love you. You must take heed also that you place not the Verb in the end of a Sentence, as the Latines do, but alwaies in the beginning: and note diligently also, that passion follows action: as j'ame Pierre, I love Peter; you must not say, Pierre j'ame. You must alwaies put the Adverb after the Verb: as, Ie by, diligemment, I read diligently.

[Page 125]The first person in Latine is alwaies put before the second; as, Ego & Petrus hoc fecimus: but in French you must say, Pierre & moy nous avons fait cela: you must not say, Pierre il a fait cela; but Pierre a fait cela.

If two substantives come together, that are of different significations, the latter must be put in the genitive case: as l'Embassadeur du Roy, the Kings Embassadour: the English must take heed that they say not as they do in their Language, le Roy Ambassadeur, the Kings Embassadour: but they must say, l'Ambassadeur du Roy, the Embassadour of the King.

This Phrase, j'ay besoin, I have need of, must have a noun substantive of the genitive case after it: as j'ay besoin d'argent, I have need of Money.

The Verb Attacher requires a dative case; as il est attaché à son opinion, he is wedded to his own opinion.

Dégoster, will have a genitive: as il est degousté des lettres, he is a despiser of learning; Il est coupablé de paresse, he is guilty of idlenesse.

These adjectives following, conforme, semblable, commun, survivant, contraire, govern a dative case: as, Il est conforme à la raison, he is conformable to reason: il est semblable à un autre, he is like to another: cela est commun à tous, this is common to all: la vertu est contraire au vice, Vertue is contrary to Vice.

Certaine Francismes.

THe French differ in these kinds of speaking following from all other Nations: As for example; Il fait beau temps, il fait mauvais temps, il fait chaud, il fait froid, ily a des hommes, ily va de vos interests, comment vous portés vous? ily avoit. You must take heed that you speak not as the Dutch do, il a dit contre moy, but say, il m'a dit.

We also use this Auxiliary Verb j'ay, instead of je suis. If we would expresse these Latine words, sunt homines, we must say, ily a des hommes. Ce sont des amis; that is, ceux dont ie parle sont mes amis. Comment vous va? that is, How goes it with you?
