¶ The fyrst Concorde
¶ The verbe presonal and hys nominatyfor vocatyf case must agree in two accidentes. Noumbre & person. as Ego amo. O virgili ama
Here is to be noted that if I shal make an englysshe in latyn. I mustre herse it tyll I haue it perfytly & see how many verbes be in the same reason. and yf ther be put one. he is the principal verbe thēne must I put before hym thys questyon who or what. & that worde that answereth to the questyon. shal be the nominatif or vocatyf to the v (er)be. as the mayster techeth this worde techeth is the verbe who. or what techeth the mayster. this worde mayster. here answereth to this questyon. and therfore it shal be nominatyf case as magister docet. And lyke wyse of the vocatyfe. as [Page] Virgyll loue. Virgili ama
¶ If onythynge cometh after the v (er)be I must put before the verbe thys questyon. whom or what. and that worde answereth to thys q̄stion whom or what shal be the accusatyf case mooste commenly as The mayster techet me. whom or what doth he thechet? me. this worde me. answereth to this question. whō or what. and therfore it shalbe the accusatif case to the verbe. as magister docet me. Virgyll loue God. Virgili ama deum.
But and yf the worde that foloweth the v (er)be may conueniently answere to thys questyon of whom. or of what. it shal be put in the ablatyf case wyth one of these preposicyons A. ab. abs. De. E. Ex. as I am bete of the maystre. Vapulo a preceptore
Two noīatyf cases singuler with a coniunctiō coputlatyf &c. wyll haue a verbe plurel al way. Excepte the reason be figuratyf. vt planiꝰ post pacebit. as Iohannes I Robertus currunt.
One nominatyf case singuler wyth an ablatyf ca se hauynge this preposicyon Cum. bytwyxt them if they be coupled to some sentence. be of the same strenghte. as Petrus cum Paulo coronabuntur in celis Oratores cum poeta loquuntur
A nowne of multitude in the nomīatif case singuler is of the same strenght. as Turba strauerunt vestimenta sua in via
When I haue two noīatifes cases one of the fyrst ꝑson & an other of the secound. else of the thyrde the v (er) be shal alway acce [...]de with the nominatyf case of the [Page] first person. as Ego & tu sumus. Viretego stan [...]us
Also if I haue a noīatif case of the secounde ꝑsone & an other of the thyrde the verbe shal accorde with ye nominatyf case of the secounde. and not of the thyrde as Tu & frater tuus estis discipuli.
¶ The secounde concorde
The adiectyf & the substātyf must agree in. iij. acci dentes. gēdre. noūbre. & case. as vir doctus legit
Here is to be noted that two substātyues singuler with a coniunctyon copulatyf comynge bytwene. or else hauynge this p̄posicion cū wyll haue an adic [...]tyf plurel. as Iohānes & robertus sedent scribentes. Petrus cum paulo sunt [...]oromandi in celo.
¶ And whan I haue two substantyues cominge togydre one of the masculyne gendre. and an other of the feminyn. or of the neuter ioyned with an adiectyf than shal the adiectyf agre wyth the substantif of the masculyne in gendre. and lyke wyse it is bytwyxt the feminyne and the neutre. as Ego & soror me a sumus albi. soror tua & iumentum estis pulchre For lyke as the fyrst persone is more worthy then the secounde. or the third. so is the masculine more worthy then the feminyn or the neutre
Also whē so euer I haue a nowne or a pronowne adiectyf. I must put to thys questyon. who. whome. or what. after hym. & then alway the worde that answere the. shal be the substātyf. as moch breede much what breede. my gowne. my what gowne
¶ If the adiectyf be a partitiple. thys questyō muste goo byfore. as growynge trees. who or what growen [Page] trees.
Here is generally to be noted that all wordes that stande as one persone. muste euer be put in one case and al that be in une case. stande as one ꝑsone. Ther fore it is comynly sayde. that all yt longeth to one thynge shal be put in one case. as My fader a man loueth me a chylde. Pater meus vir. diligit me puerū. My moder a wooman loueth me a chylde. Mater mea mulier diligit me puerum
¶ The thyrde concorde
The thyrde is bytwyxt the relatyf of substaunce, and his antecedēt. the which muste euer agree in. iij. accidentes Gendre. noumbre. and persone. howe be it he may discorde wyth the verbe somtyme in perso ne. as Equus quem video currit
Here is to be vnderstande that there be two maner of relatyues. One of substaunce. And one of accydence. The relatyf of substaunce requireth a substā tyf for his antecedentes. as Qui. Ille. Ipse. Sui. Is. and Idem. The relatyf of accidence reherseth an adiectyf for hys antecedent. as Talis. Qualis. Tantus. Quantus.
Also whan I haue a relatyf of substaunce. I shal put after hym this question who. whom. or what. & that worde that answereth to this question shall be ye anteredent to the relatyf. as Virgyll is dede ye whych was a poete. The which what. Virgyll. Thys word Virgyll answereth to the questyon. and therfore it is hys antecedent
This relatyf Quiis knowē by these signes. that [Page] who me. or the which
Whan ther cometh a nomiatyf case bitwyxt the relatif and hys next verbe. than shal the relatif be suche case as the verbe wylle haue after hym as Ego quem p [...]eceptor docet aduerto.
And whanne noo nominatyf case. & cetera. The relatyf shal be the nominatyf case to the v (er)be as Ego qui sedeo scribo
It is to be noted also. that the relatyfe may agree wyth hys antecedent in .iiij. Gēdre. Case. Noumbre and persone. as Homo monetur. Idē homo currit
(Whan hys worde that comythe in a reason if I may put thys englyssh the whyce in hys place it shall be made by thys relatyf Qui if not so that it reporte ony thynge a fore sayde bysom pronoune relatyfe, if hyt betokyng schewyne by Ille. illa. illud. Or some other pronownes demonstratiues. and whanne it be tokeneth a thynge. as willed to be done by. Vt and a thynge as tellynge the cause by ꝙ or quia or other casuall coniunctions
Coniunctions copulatyries and disiunctyues dubitatyue and interrogatyues wyl ioyne comonly lyke Case. Gendre. Noumbre. Mode. and Tens
Also two antecedentys singuler with an E [...] coniunction copulatyf comynge bitwene. will haue a relatyf plurel. as Iohannes & Robertꝰ quos ego docui non discunt delige [...]er
Whāne I haue a relatyf comynge bitwene two substanyues of dyuerse gendres longyng both to one thynge. If the substantyf that foloweth be appelatyf. [Page] thenne the relatyf may accorde wyth eyther of theym indifferently. as in Gendre. as Eo Oxoniam. que vel qui est locus studendi.
But and if the substantyf that foloweth be a now ne propre. the relatyf shall accorde wyth the latter alway in gendre. as Est locus incarcere quod tul [...]ia [...]ū appellatur
Whāne there be many verbes in a reason. euer more the fyrst verbe shalbe the princypall verbe Excepte he come sone aft (er) one of these signes That whome. or the whyche. or ony of these. If. But. whenne. after that. before that. although. Sith. Excepte or other lyke. Or else after ony of these latyn wordes. Si (quam)uis. &ce. Or else after ony of these signes To. or To be as To loue. or to be loued
¶ Here is to be noted. that where as manye verbys be in a reason. that verbe is princypalle that ma keth the reason persyte
Also where as be many verbys. one verbe at the lest wyse cometh bytwyxt the forsade signes. and the principalle verbe. as the boke that I begynne to write yf it were ended shulde profyte chyldre muche. Liber quem incipio scribere. si perfieretur multum pro desset pueris
A pronowne relatyf may nat be sett in that same rea son. that his antecedente is in. But euermore he maketh a reason imperfyte in hymselfe
¶ A pronowne relatyf maybe sett in one reason with his antecedent. as Patrem sequitur sua proles. Sua cui (que) satis placebant. dominum [...] dabunt
¶ Strēnght of compulynge case
The verbe of substance. and all that be of lyke englyssh wyll haue suche case after them. as they haue before them. as I am a man. Ego sum vir
The same strenght hath all v (er)bes vocatyues. as Nominor. Appellor. Nuncupor. &ce. I am called thomas. Ego vocor thomas. Also appareo. sedeo. wyth other lyke
And generally all verbes may couple lyke case whenne the worde that goeth before the verbe & the worde that cometh after the verbe longe both to one thynge. as Iaicꝰ nō seder iudex in causis ecclesiasticis
¶ Note wele.
A▪ nominatyf else a vocatyf may nat stonde with oute a verbe finite set oute. or vnderstonde
Nor lyke wyse a verbe finite wythout a nomina tif or vocatyf case
A verbe is called finite in al modes. Excepte the ī finityf. Also euery Infinityf mode may haue an accu satif case set byfore hym expressyd or vnderstonde. as for such maner of spech. Cui nunc cognomeē Iulo. Is more after vse than crafte
Nor an aduerbe may nat stonde wythout a verbe. Not a coniuncuō wyth oute two clauses. and two verbes set ou [...]e. as Ego lego. & tu legis. Or vnderstō de. as Lego virgilium & ciceronem for lego virgilium & lego ciceronem
Nor two clauses. or two verbes withoute a cōiū ctyon. Excepte that one be an Infinityf mode, or else [Page] ioyned with a relatyf
Nor a preposicyon without a case. Not an adiectyf without a substantyf. Nor a relatyfe withoute some worde rehersed. of ye reason afore. the which may be called the antecedent
Not a relatif without a verbe diuerse from the v (er)be of the antecedent. yf the relatyf be a nowne
Whan wordes must be construed togydre betokenynge thynges that be as one persone. they must agree in as many accydentes as they may
A persone is called in gramer. the beer. the doer. the sufferer. the hauer. the thynge that is had. that. yt groweth to. as auauntage.. or hurt. angre. or plesure. Also pryce. tyme. instrumente. & other lyke
Accidentes I calle. Case. Gendre. Noūbre Persone. Mode. & Tens. &c
This infinityf mode Esse. when he cometh after ony of these v (er)bes. Volo soleo. cupio. incipio. disco. or ony other lyke standynge personally wyll haue after hym a nominatyf case. after the use of greekes what so euer be vnderstond afore. as Volo esse rex. Soleo esse amicus. Cupio esse doctus. Disco esse pater. &c.
But and if the verbe that cometh afore esse be impersonall. the worde that foloweth shall somtyme be the datyue case. Licet mihi esse bono. Placet tibi esse regi
¶The wythspe kynge though it be approued by the vse of Greekes. and latyns. yit it is nat after the crafte
Nownes of the cōparatyue degre wil haue after [Page] theym an ablatif case, whā this signe than. foloweth theym. as I am wyser than these Sum doctior ijs. And a genityf whan this signe of foloweth theim. as This is the wyser of yout [...]yne. Hic est doctior vestrum duorum
The superlatyue wyl haue a genityf plurell of all wordes. excepte the nowne of multitude. of whome he is contente. wyth a genityf case singuler. as Virgilius erat doctissimus poetarum. Troiane gentis fortissimus erat Hector
Euerry verbe is construed with case after his significacyon. Therfore if it be nat englysshed after hys constructyon. it is nat englysshed after his significacyon Wherfore these verbes Noceo and placeo. and such other the wyth haue after theym adatyue case. must haue these englysshes I do greue. I do plesure. and contrary wyse [...]edo and offendo. I hurte and offende rather than I do hurte. or offence. and lyke wyse in one verbe. as Vaco tibi. I take hede to the.Vaco doctrine. I lacke konnynge But where it is harde to englyssh theym after their constructyon.

¶ De gerundiuo in Dum
Whē the englyssh of ye infinitifmode cometh after a reason & telleth the cause of ye reason. It may be put in the gerūdyf in Dū. with this p̄posicyon ad byfore hym. as I come to lerne grāmer. Venio ad discendū grāmaticam Also I may haue a gerundyf in dū with these preposicyons In ob propter. or ante. as in these examples. and all other lyke. as Vado in capiē dum hostem vel ad si placet. Ego venie ob te vel propter [Page] te redimendum. Virgilius Nam (que) ante domā, dum ingentes tollent animos
Also I may haue a gerundyf in Dum. wyth thys preposicyon Inter. whan so euer I haue ony of these englyssh wordes. whan whyles. or aslonge put be fore a cōiunctif moode. as whyles thou playest. thou forgetest moch thyng Inter ludendū. multa de discis Virgilius.

Whan the euglyssh of the Infinityf mode foloweth this englyssh. It is it may be put in a gerundyf in Dum with this v (er)be est. set imꝑsonally. & that that semeth to be the noīatyf shalbe the datyf. as The kynge it is to fyght. Regi pugnandum est
Also whā I haue this englyssh must. where as it semeth to be made by thys v (er)be Oportet. It maybe made lyke wyse. as I muste nedys cost goo to towue Mihi eundū est in oppidum
After al such verbes that betokē callyng shewynge. mouynge. or rest. I shal euermore haue a gerundyf in Dum. & neuer the Infinityf mode. as Vocaui te ad currendū. nō currere. Surgo ad audiendū. nō audire. Sto ad pre dandū. non predari

But such for the most parte. wyl haue the gerū dyf & leue the infinityf mode.
[Page] The gerundyf is knoween fro the ꝑticyple in dus. by that yt it betokeneth the doynge of a thyng withoute ony respecte of the tyme. as Sum or oc [...]patus in docendo pueros. or in docendis pueris
The ꝑricyple in Dus betokeneth a thinge to be done in tyme to cōme. as Chremes est exotandus a me

Such adiectyues Dignꝰ. indignꝰ. iocundꝰ. letꝰ. tristis. be enioyned better to the infinityf mode thā to ye gerundyf. vt Tues dignꝰ habere opes. Tues dignꝰ honorari.

(Also the particyple in Dus. goth somtyme in to the strength of a nowne. and than he betokeneth as much. as Dignus digna dignū. with an infiuitif. mode [Page] of the passyf significacyon. vt Iste liber est legēdus id est dignus legi vellectu. &c.
There is a difference bytwixte the fyrst supyne & the particyple in Rus. For the fyrste supyne cometh after the verbe that betokeneth mouynge & he hym silfe signifieth bodely dede
But the particyple of the fyrst future moste cōmenly cometh after verbes that betoken rest. and he nouther betokeneth mouynge nor bodely dede. But al ō ly a tyme to come vncerten.
