LONDON: Printed by Henry Hills, for Thomas Cockerill, at the Three Leggs, over against the Stocks-Market. 1682.
AFter various Essays, and several Methods, proposed to facilitate the Teaching and Learning of the Latin Tongue, this Little Piece adventures to present it self to thy View; not to challenge Preheminence of All that have gone before, but to submit it self to the impartial Scrutiny of thy Candid Judgment, which it the more boldly craves, as due to a Minor; being the Issue of some Years Observation, whereby (without Impeachment of any preceding Overtures in this kind) Experience hath sufficiently confirmed, That short Rules, and pat Examples, Instruct better and faster than long winded Notions and perplex'd intricate Sentences, too difficult to be comprehended by Children: for the Benefit of whom these ensuing Collections are principally intended. The Age we now live in expects a more early Product, and quicker Improvement of Youth than heretofore, not to say (tho' dearly experimented to the great Trouble and Dissatisfaction of many Teachers in this Kingdom) a laudable Advancement of such to a competent Knowledge in that Language, as our Predecessors deemed either altogether uncapable thereof, or, by reason of their tender years, unfit to be taken into their Tuition. And indeed it seems almost impossible, at least extremely difficult, to satisfie those craving Expectations by circuiting in the old obscure Rote of the Common Grammar, whose Compilers have freely expressed themselves, in their Introduction, so far from attributing a compleat Perfection or Self-sufficiency to that Model, that they declare it imposed, not with Intent to put a stop to the Industry of succeeding Generations, in tracing out a more exact Method, or accommodating the same to different Ages and Capacities, but to prevent the grand Inconveniencies of worse; there being then so much Distraction in the Multiplicity of Forms, that it occasioned great Confusion. Now as their sagacious Fore-sight suggested hopes of further Improvement of their Labours by Posterity, [Page] so we trust no unprejudiced person will charge this small Breviary of what was then delivered, with envious Suggillation or Pragmatic Novelty, since it seems only to design a Confirmation of their well-grounded Presages, That from those very Foundations a more Expedite Way would one day be found out to lay them. How far this Elementary And if this find Acceptance, a Greek Grammar may be produced much easier than any that hath been yet Extant. performs that Task, I conceive it not a proper undertaking to indeavour here to determin, since it is now become the Object of Common Censure, and may be approved or disliked, used or rejected at pleasure. Much less shall I go about to direct the Intelligent how it ought to be used, being so plain and easie, that every one that can read English, and understand Common Sense, may at first sight discern how to proceed, and by due Advertence Instruct himself and others. I shall only add, that if it hath gained the least Advantage to the Ends proposed, it must be acknowledged due to the afore-cited Preface, which gave the first occasion of farther search into these Particulars. The whole is left to thy Discretion to imbrace what thou thinkest useful, to Correct what thou findest amiss, and to Supply what thou apprehendest wanting, a service likely to prove no less beneficial to the tender and more indocile Infantry in Public Schools, than grateful to their Instructors, whose Obligations will bind them to return deserved Thanks for the Favor.

An Adverb sheweth the Circumstances of signification in other words; as How? When? Where? Whither? Whence? How long? How oft? How much? After what manner? Whether or no? Why? and other like circumstances; and ends commonly in o, e, um, or ter in Latine; In English for the most part in ly. Others are best known by use, and so are Conjunctions, which differ in use not from Adverbs, only they are joined to a Subjunctive Mood. An Interjection is a word of Passion, as [...]eu! alas! voWo!

Construction or Syntax hath two general Parts, Agreement and Government.
IN Latin Speech there are 3 Agreements or Concords between the
I. Nominative Case and the Verb.
II. Substantive and the Adjective.
III. Antecedent and the Relative.
I. The Nominative Case hath a, an, or the, (and sometimes no sign before it, but (most commonly) cometh before the Verb with which it agrees in Number and Person, as, Praceptor legit, vos negligitis. Frater studet. Pater dormit.
- 1. A Genitive Case or a Gerund in di; as Facundia Ciceronis celebratur. Studium discendi me tenet.
- 2. An Adjective or Participle; also Conjunctive or Relative Clauses; as, vir doctus studiis addictus, si gloriam appctat, & sceleratos oderit, merito amatur.
- 1. A question be asked, as Amas tu? Venitne Rex?
- 2. The Verb be of the Imperative Mood; as Amito ille. Legat petrus. Taceant coeteri.
- 3. The Signs It or There, nor or neither, come before the English of the Verb; as Est liber mcus, venit quidam.
II. A Noun Adjective cannot stand by it self, but must have a Substantive [expressed or understood] with which it agrees in Number, Case and Gender; as Amicus certus magni nomin [...]s cum ingenti Satellitio bue venit. Homo armatus. Rara avis. Ager colendus. Meus berus.
III. The Relative rehearseth another word going before, (called the Antecedent) with which it agrees in Gender, Number and Preson; and is always placed first in the sentence; such are which [Page 50] whom, what, whose, who and that put for which
- 1. The Nominative Case to the Verb when there cometh no other between it and the Verb; as vir sapit, qui tacer. Qui nocent, docent.
- 2. Such Case as the Noun, Verb. Participle or Adverb, which after, or the Preposition next before it do govern, when the Nominative Case comes between it and the Verb; as Hîc est, quem tu quoeris, Ancilla est, quam accersisti. En marcum, cui studeo, cujus causâ boec scribo. Hi sant libri, quibus utor. Quod statui, saciam. Illam, quem tu colis, amo, prae quo ceteri sordent.
N. B. The Substantive is often understood, and then the Adjective supplies its place, and may be the Nominative Case to the Verb, or Substantive to another Adjective, or governed of another word in the sentence; and if Things be joined with it, or understood, it shall be put in the Neuter Gender, and may govern a Genitive case; as Omnes mortales sunt miseri. Semperavar us eget. Minimum hinc acceler lucri. Pauca inveniuntur his similia. Quantum babes nummorum tantum & fidei.
To find the Nominative Case to the Verb. Substantive to the Adjective or Antecedent to the Relative, you must ask the Question Who or What, and the word that answereth, shall be the Nominative Case Substantive or Antecedent.
The Adjective [in English] stands before the Substantive; The Substantive follows the Adjective.
All casual words are governed of the word that goes next before them [in plain sense] according to the sign; (by which the Case is known) or of some Preposition. Except they have which, who, whom, what, whose, and that for which joined with them, for then they are governed of the word following.
To confirm this general Rule, take these following; Any Substantive is governed of another of the same Case going next before by Apposition, if both belong to one thing; as Tullius Orator. Naso Poeta. Domirus Deus Creator Mundi, novi Simonem virum egregium, patrem tuum, Lydiae fratrem.
- The Nominative Case is governed of the Verb when
- 1. It is an Adjective, which agrees with the Nominative Case before the Verb, in Number, Case and Gender; as Loquor frequens Taceo multus. Scribo rarissimus.
- 2. It follows.

- 2. Adjectives.
- 1. Signifying desire, knowledg, remembrance, ignorance, forgettirg, care, fear, and such like passions of the mind; as, Cupidus auri. Peritus belli. Ignarus omnium. Dubius mentis. Memor praeteriti. Immemor sui. Metuens tui.
- 2. Ending in ax, and derived of Verbs; as, Aulax animi. Protositi tenax. Pecuniarum petax.

Except that meus, tuus, suus, noster, vester bumanum belluinum, and such like are used in the Nominative Case; as, Hic codex est meus, nostrum est pati. Humanum est irasci.
- 6. Impersonals, Interest and refert; as, omnium interest, Parvi refert; except meâ, tuâ, suâ, nosirâ, vesirâ, cujâ; as meâ interest, tua refert, &c. in the Ablative Cafe.
- 4. Adverbs of Quantity, Time and Place, with Instar; as multum lucri. Tunc temporis. Ʋbique locorum. Instar omnium.

I. Vowels five a, e, i, o, u,
II. Consonants all the rest which are twofold.
- 1. Mutes b, c, d, f, g, p, q, t, j and v, Consonants.
- 2. Semivowels.
- 1. Liquids four l, m, n, r.
- 2. Double Consonants two, x, z.
N. B. S is a Letter of a peculiar validity, and not reducible to [Page 60] any of the foregoing sorts, and y, k, and z, are Greek Letters, never used in Latine words.
H, is no Letter but only a note of Breathing.
A Letter or Element is the most simple or least part of which a word is compounded. Of Letters are made Syllables
A Syllable is a perfect and articulate sound, consisting of one Letter or more.
The Quantity of Syllables is twofold
1. Long marked thus ā, ān, ās, pān, &c.
2. Short, marked thus, as lĕ╌gĕ╌re.
Of Syllables are made feet.
A foot is the joining together of two Syllables or more, according to their quantity and the use of Poets.
Of Feet two sorts are most usual.

2. A Spondee, consisting of two Syllables, both long, as vīr╌tūs cāu╌tē fōr╌nāx.
A Verse is the Collection of a certain number of Feet, according to proper Ruler. Of Latin Verses the two most usual sorts are these.
1. A long or Heroick Verse, consisting of six feet, the four first Dactylls or Spondees, the fifth usually a Dactyl, the sixth always a Spondee.
2. A short or Elegiac Verse, consisting first of two feet either Dactyls or Spondees, and then a long syllable, next two Dactyls and a long Syllable.
The last Syllable of a Verse is always common.
To know what Syllables are long, and what short take these directions.
