Magnum IN PARVO. THE English Guide TO THE LATIN TONGUE: OR A Brief System OF ALL The most necessary RULES FOR THE Initiating of YOUTH IN THE Rudiments of Grammar. LONDON, Printed for R. Royston, at the Angel in Amen-Corner, Bookseller to His Most Sacred Majesty, 1675. A Few Words TO THE READERS. THe Author is no professed Grammarian, nor indeed so much as a Pretender to any extraordinary skill in the learned Languages; but being sensible that his mean abilities can never encourage him to hope for any such Preferment in the Church wherein he is an unworthy Minister, as may enable him to give his Children Education abroad, he resolves they shall not want the best he can afford them at home; and that he may not rob himself of too much of that time which he is bound to improve another way, to the best advantage of the Congregation wherewith he is entrusted, he hath composed this short Grammar, for the greater ease (as to him seemeth) both of Teacher and Learner: His only design of printing it being to save himself the labour of transcribing it so often as Children will be apt to sully and blur it before they can perfectly learn it. If any man else shall think it useful to him for the like service, it may not be amiss to tell him, that Examples of the Rules of Syntax are not therefore omitted because they are thought useless; but partly to lessen the charge of printing, yet chief, because in teaching, the Author useth to give his Scholar an English Sentence, explaining the Rule by it, and giving him Latin Words, shows him how to turn it into Latin by his Rule, and here he always makes choice of the English of such Words as are expressed in the Rules concerning Nouns and Verbs, omitting no one Word necessary to be observed, but bringing it into one or other of those Examples. By this course the Learner hath in a short time a Paper of Latin Sentences, which he often reads instead of Lessons usually taught, and reaps this considerable advantage by it, that whereas in reading an Author, he shall often have occasion of exemplifying and repeating the same Rule many times in a Lesson, and other as necessary Rules not once in a quarter of a year; by going over his Paper of Examples he shall have occasion to repeat and call to mind every Rule in his Grammar once a Week for some time; and afterwards, when he reads Authors, this will be a more profitable Exercise for the first Morning Part, as 'tis called, then (as the Custom is) to repeat so much of his Grammar by Heart. If any dislike this way, he may follow his own; and may, if he please to be at no farther trouble, furnish himself with store of Examples to every Rule from the most approved Authors out of Mr. Farnaby's Systema Grammaticum, and the little Grammar of Ger. Jo. Vossius, to which too I acknowledge myself indebted for a great part of what is here done. THE English Guide TO THE LATIN TONGUE. A Sentence is made of Words, a Word of Syllables a Syllable of Letters. There be Nineteen Latin Letters, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, i, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, x. K, y, z, are Greek Letters, and h is no Letter, but a Note of Aspiration. Letters are either great or small, The great are called Capital. Proper Names, Sentences, and Verses all Begin with Letters Capital. There be five Latin Vowels, a, e, i, o, u. Y is a Greek Vowel. There be fourteen Consonants, b, c, d, f, g, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, x, I and V in the beginning of a Syllable before a Vowel are Consonants. There be four Liquids, l, m, n, r, and eight Mutes, b, c. d, f, g, p, q, t. Three are called double Consonants, x, z, and j, when set between two Vowels. Of Vowels are made Dipthongs; there be four proper Dipthongs, ae oe, au eu, and four improper Dipthongs, ai, ei, oi, vi. A Syllable is either but one Vowel, as a, e, i, o, or a Vowel with one or more Consonants sounded together, as ab, abs. C before e or i, sounds like s. G before e or i, sounds like j Consonant. Ti before a Vowel sounds like si, except after s, or when it gins a word. A Word is either one or more Syllables. A Consonant between two Vowels in a word gins the following Syllable, as ge╌ne╌ra╌tio. If two like Consonants come together, the later gins the following Syllable, as an╌nus. Two unlike Consonants which can begin the first Syllable, may also begin any other Syllable in a Word, otherwise the latter gins the following Syllable. If a Word be compounded or made of two Words, each Part shall have its proper Consonants. A Line must always end with a whole Syllable. A Word is either Primitive, or Derivative, which comes from the Primitive: Again, a Word is either Simple or Compound, made of two or more simple Words. There be eight kinds of Latin Words, Noun, Pronoun, Verb, Participle, Adverb, Conjunction, Preposition, Interjection. Nouns, Pronouns, Verbs, and Participles vary the ending, or are declined; the rest do not. Nouns. A Noun is the name of a thing. Some Nouns be Substantives, and some be Adjectives. A Noun Substantive may have a, a, or the before it, and cannot have the Word thing immediately after it; as a man. A Noun Adjective may have the Word thing immediately after it, and cannot have a, a, or the before it, except a Substantive follow, as good, white. A Noun Substantive is Proper or Common. A Noun Substantive Proper is the Proper Name of some one thing, whereby it is commonly known from others of the same kind, as John, London. A Noun Substantive Common or Appellative, is a Common Name, whereby we call all things of the same kind, as Man, City. Numbers. There be two Numbers, the Singular noting but one, as a man; and the Plural noting more than one, as men. Persons. There be three Persons. The first Person, I, we. The second Person, Thou, ye, and every Vocative Case. The third Person, He, they, and all Nouns, Pronouns, Verbs and Participles, not implying. I, we, thou or ye. Cases. There be six Cases. The Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, Vocative and Ablative. The Nominative is called Casus rectus, the rest are called Casus obliqui. Declension. An English Noun is thus declined. Sing Num.

A Verb is a Word which signifies, to do, to be, or to be done. A Verb Personal is form in all three Persons; a Verb Impersonal in the third Person only. There be four kinds of Verbs, Active, Passive, Neuter and Deponent. A Verb Active or Transitive signifies to do something towards another, and in Latin ends in o, as amo, I love; by adding r, it is made a Passive, as amor. A Verb Passive signifies to be done to by another, and in Latin ends in or, as amor, I am loved; and by losing r is made an Active, as amo. A Verb Neuter signifies an absolute doing, being or suffering, and in Latin ends in o or m; as Sio, I stand, frigeo, I am cold. Sum, I am; it cannot take r to make it a Passive. Sum, forem, existo, are Neuter-Substantives. Vapulo, veneo, sio, liceo, are called Neuter-Passives. A Verb Deponent in Latin ends in or, and signifies either Actively, as Sequor, I follow; or Absolutely, as Morior, I die; or both Actively and Passively, as Osculor, I kiss, or am kissed. Moods and Tenses. Verbs have four Moods. 1. The Indicative Mood, declaring or showing. 2. The Imperative Mood, bidding or commanding. 3. The Potential Mood, implying some possibility. 4. The Infinitive, without Number or Person. Verbs have five Tenses. 1. The Present, noting the time which now is. 2. The Praeterimperfect, noting the time passing not quite past 3. The Preterperfect, noting the time quite past. 4. The Praeter pluperfect, noting a time before another time past. 5. The Future, noting the time to come.

There be four Participles, two Active, and two Passive. Active Participles. 1. A Participle of the Praes. Tense Active, hath its English in ing, as loving, and in Latin it ends in ans or ens, as amans, docens, declined like Adjectives of one ending. jens of eo hath Gen. cuntis: So its Compounds except ambientis. The English of the Participle in ing, with a or the before it, is a Noun Substantive; with a Preposition before it, commonly a Gerund. 2. A Participle of the Fut. Active, hath the English Sign ready or about to, as ready or about to love; and in Latin ends in rus, as amaturus, docturus, Declined like Adjectives of three end. Passive Participles. 1. A Participle of the Praes. and Praet. Passive hath its English in d, t or n, with the Word being expressed or understood before it, as being loved, taught, slain; and in Latin it ends in tus, sus or xus; as amatus, visus, nexus: Declined as Adjectives of three end. 2. A Participle of the Fut. Passive hath its English in d, t or n, with the Sign to be before it, as to be loved, and in Latin it ends in dus, as amandus: Declined like Adjectives of three end. The English of a Participle Fut. Passive after a Noun or Verb Adjective is the Infinitive Mood or later Supine. Verbs Neuter have ordinarily only the Particles of the Praes. and Fut. in rus. Deponents have usually three Participles, Praes. Praet. and Future in rus. Where the Praeter hath the English having, as secutus, having followed. The Praes. Participle is made of the Imperf. by turning bam into us: The Participle of the Future Active is made of the Supine by turning 'em into urus. The Praet. Participle is made of the same by turning 'em into us The Participle in dus is made of the Present Participle by turning s into dus. Mortuus, moriturus, oriturus, nasciturus, pariturus, sonaturus, arguiturus, cruiturus, are irregular. A Participle compared, or used Substantively is turned into a Noun. Adverbs. Ad Adverb is a Word undeclined, commonly joined with Verbs to explain their signification. Adverbs are of many sorts; as of Place, as Where, here, there, etc. Of Time, as now, hereafter, to day, long ago, etc. Of Number, as often, seldom, once, twice, etc. Of Order, as first, secondly, moreover, etc. Of Ask, as why? etc. Of Affirming or explaining, as yea, truly, to wit, etc. Of Denying, as no, not, &c Of Demonstrating, as lo, behold, etc. Of Exhorting or encouraging, as well done, go to, etc. Of Wishing, as O that, etc. Of Swearing, as in good sooth, etc. Of Doubting, as perhaps, etc. Of Gathering or separating, as together, asunder: Of Excluding, as only: Of Choosing, as rather, etc. Of Diversity, as otherwise, etc. Of Likeness, as as, even as, etc. Of Quantity, as much, little, etc. Of Quality, as well, ill, etc. Of Comparing, as as well as, better, etc. And many more, especially ending in , made of Nouns. Conjunctions. A Conjunction is a Word undeclined, joining Words and Sentences together. There be divers sorts of Conjunctions: as Copulatives, and, also, etc. Disjunctives, either, or, nor, etc. Concessives, although, albeit, etc. Adversatives, but, notwithstanding, etc. Caus●ls, for, because, etc. Conditionals, if, unless, etc. Illatives, therefore, wherefore, etc. Electives, rather, than, etc. Exceptives, except, besides, etc. Dubitatives, whether or no, etc. Diminutives, at least, etc. Expletives, used only for greater Grace of Speech. Ac, at, is't, nam, quare, si, nec, quin, nisi, sin, seu, sed, verum, are Praepositives, used in the beginning of Sentences. Enim, autem, quoque, vero, quidem, are Postsitives set after other Words. Que, ne, ve are Encliticks set at the end of another Word. Prepositions. A Preposition is a Word undeclined commonly set before other Words, either in Apposition or Composition. A Separable Preposition stands before a Word, and governs a Case commonly either Accusative or Ablative, as to, unto, in, into, towards, against, before, after, for, beside, with, by, beyond, under, etc. Inseparable Praepositions are only used in Composition, as am, di, dis, re, se, ve, con. Interjections. An Interjection is a Word undeclined, expressing some Affection or Passion of Mind; as Joy, Evax, io. Exclaiming, O. Flattering, eja. Wondering, papae. Threatening, vae. Lamenting, hei, heu, eheu, ah. Fear, atat. Disdain, him, prob, hui, vah. Calling, heus, eho. Silence, au, st. Loathing, phy. Laughing, ha' ha', he, etc. Adjectives in the Neuter Gender are sometimes used Adverbially. Adverbs may be compared, which come of Adjectives which admit of Comparison. Figures belonging to Words. Prothesis, adds to the beginning, as Gnavus for navus. Epenthesis, adds in the middle, as Alituum for alitum. Paragoge, adds to the end, as Possit for dici. Aphaeresis, takes from the beginning, as conia for ciconia. Syncope, takes from the middle, as Dixti for dixisti. Apocope, takes from the end, as Dic for dice. Draeresis, divides one Syllable into two, as Aulaï for aulai or lae. Crasts or Synaeresis, joins or contracts two Syllables into one, as Thesci for Thesei: Ingení for ingenii. Metathesis, is a misplacing of Letters or Syllables, as pistris for priests. Antithesis or Antistaechon, puts one Letter for another, as faciundum for faciendum. Enallage or Antimeria, puts one kind of Word, Gender, Number, Mood, or Tense for another. Archaismus, is an old worn out way of speaking. Apostrophes, is a a Note, signifying the want of some Letter thus, Egon ' for egone. Hyphen, notes two Words to be joined as if it were one compounded Word, thus ante-malorum. We use the same Note in the end of a Line, when part of a Word ends the Line, and the other part gins the next Line. Accents. There be three Accents belonging to Words; Acute, Grave and Circumflex, but these are seldom expressed in Latin. An Acute Accent is thus marked, dóminus: a Grave thus, doctè: a Circumflex thus, mòs. Monosyllables short, or long by Position, have an Acute Accent. In Dissyllables the former hath an Acute, when the later is short, and the former long by Position; or when both are short. Polysyllables having the last short, have an Acute in the last but two, or antepenultima, as dóminus: if the two last be long, the penultima, or last but one hath an Acute, as Sacérdos. In Dissyllables the later hath a Grave Accent; so have all Syllables which have neither Acute nor Circumflex. Monosyllables long by Nature, have a Circumflex, The former in Dissyllables hath a Circumflex, if it be long by Nature and the later short: So hath the Penultima in Polysyllables if it be long by Nature and the last short. The Compounds of facio and sio, keep the Accent of the simple Verb, as calesácit, calesít. The ●ncliticks, que, ne, ve, cast the Accent on the foregoing Syllable, as laurísque, except que in constant Composition, as úndique. Ablatives in a, Genitives in us, and ergo for causá have a Circumflex, for distinction's sake. Contracted Syllables are circumflexed, and Adverbs are accented to distinguish them from Adjectives of the same ending. Sentences or Syntax of Words. Of Words joined according to Rule is made a Sentence. Concordance or Agreement of Words. 1. A Verb Personal must be of the same Number and Person, with the Nom. Case answering to the Question who or what, made with the English Verb. 2. An Adjective must be of the same Case, Gender and Number with the Substantive answering to the Question who or what, made with the English Adjective. 3. The Relative qui must be of the same Cender, Number and Person, with the foregoing Substantive, that may be repeated again after which. Quis, qualis, quantus, quot, quotus, uter, follow the same Rule. 4. More Substantives together noting the same thing, must be the same Case, and the Verb, Adjective or Relative following must agree with the later; except the former be a living thing and the later not, or the former an Appellative, and the later a Proper Name of some Game. Note, any Word or whole Sentence answering to what, may stand for a Substantive of the Neuter Gender and third Person. 5. If no Nom. Case come between the Relative and the Verb, the Verb must agree with the Relative. 6. Look what Case the Substantive that may be repeated after the Relative, aught to be were it so expressly repeated, the same Case must the Relative be. 7. A Collective, or Distributive Singular may have a Verb Plural. 8. Two or more Substantives Singular noting divers things will have a Verb Plural, agreeing with the first rather than the second, and the second rather than the third Person: likewise an Adjective or Relative Plural agreeing with the Masc. rather than Fem. and Fem. rather than Neuter Gender; but if they signify things without life, keep the Neuter Gender. 9 I, we, thou, ye, he, they and men, are seldom expressed in Latin. 10. The Word thing is seldom expressed, but implied in an Adjective of the Neuter Gender. 11. Business, Work, Duty, Part, Property, Office, after the Verb it is, are implied in the possessive my, thy, etc. of the Neuter Gender, or in the Genitive Case of a Substantive after est. 12. The Relative often agreeth with a Pronoun Primitive implied in a foregoing Possessive; as meâ refert, qui, etc. So the Genitive of a Participle Present, and unius, solius, between a Pronoun Possessive and its Substantive may agree with the like implied Primitive; as meâ unius operâ. Nostros vidisti flentis ocollos. 13. When my, thy, our, your, &c, may have own added; they are made by Possessives. If they cannot have own, or may be explained by of, for or towards me, thou, etc. they are made by the Genitive of Primitives or Demonstratives. 14. If him, her, them may have self or selves added, they are made by the reciprocal sui, if they may not admit self or selves, they are made by Demonstratives. The Nominative governed. 15. A Noun or Pronoun without a Sign of an Obliqne Case, after a Verb Substantive, or a Verb Neuter of Gesture, after most Passives, (except rogor, exoror, poscor, doceor) after O of rejoicing, commending or deriding, and Heu of bewailing, is the Nom. Case: After en or occe, the Nom. or Accusative. The Genitive governed. 16. A Substantive answering to the Quaestion whose or whereof after another Substantive, or to the Question what after no or none made by nil or nihil, or an Adjective put Substantively in the Neuter Gender, as this, that, much, little, etc. is the Gen. C●se. If this Gen. signify the Owner or Possessor, it may be turned into an Adjective Possessive. 17. Of, before an Adjective and Substantive speaking to the praise or dispraise of a thing, after a Noun or Verb Substantive, notes a Genitive or Ablative. 18. Of, after Verbals in axe, Participials in ns or us, Adjectives of Desire, Knowledge, Remem●rance, Care, Fear, or their contraries, also after Partitives, Interrogatives, Distributives, Indefinites, Comparatives, Superlatives and ●r●●n●l●▪ or after Compos, im●●●, ●nops, consors, exhorts, particeps; or after the Impersonals, pudet, piget, poenitet, taedet, miseret, notes a Genitive Case. Pertaesus may have an Accusative. 19 A Noun or Pronoun after Satago, misereor, miscresco, interest, refert, is the Genitive: after miseror an Accusative. But me, thou, him, her, us, you, whom, after refert and interest, are made by these Ablatives Fem. Meà, tuà, suà, nostrà, vestrâ cujâ. 20. Much, little, less, greatly, etc. before Interest or refert, are made by the Genitives, tanti, quanti, magni, parvi, pluris, etc. or by Adverbs. 21. Of, after Adjectives of guilt, or Verbs of accusing, condemning, acquitting, notes a Gen. of the Crime, and sometimes of the Punishment. Note. The general Words of Crime, as crimen, scelus, peccatum, may be the Ablative; The special Names of Crime, as furtum, stuprum, etc. may also be the Abl. with the. Uter, ullus, alius, alter, ambo, neuter, uterque, and the Superlative Degree, are used after such Words in the Ablative only. 22. A Noun or Pronoun after Verbs of Remembering or forgetting, if it signify a Person, is the Gen. or Accusative. Memini to mention hath an Abl. with de. 23. Much, little, less, so much, how much, greatly, not a rush, etc. after Verbs of esteeming, are made by the Genitives, Tanti, quanti, magni, maximi, parvi, minoris, minimi, pluris, plurimi, nihili, stocci, nauci, assis, hujus, teruncii, etc. So we say, A●qui, bom consulo, or facio. A●s●imo, admits the Ablatives, magno, permagno, parvo, nihilo. We say also, Pro nihilo habeo, duco, puto. 24. In or at with a Proper Name of a City, Town, or less Place of the first or second Decl. and Sing. Number, is the Genitive.

Two Words noting Person and thing, after Sum, do, duco, verto, puto, imputo, habeo, and some others, may be both Datives. The Datives, Mihi, tibi, sibi, are often redundant. The Accusative. 34. A Noun or Pronoun answering to the Question whom or what, after a Verb Active or of a Transitive signification, or after En, ecce of upbraiding, and O of exclaiming, is the Accusative Case. A Verb Absolute may have an Accus. sometimes an Abl. of like signification with its own; as I live a life. 35. The Person and thing after celo, and Verbs of teaching or ask are both Accusative, one of which may also be the Abl. with a Preposition.

The Passives, doccor, rogor, moneor, poscor, have an Accus. of the thing. 36. The measure, distance or space, and also length of time answering to the Question how long? are the Accus. sometimes Ablative; and the measure sometimes Genitive. 37.

The Vocative. 40. The Vocative is used in calling or speaking to, either with O, heus, him, or without. The Ablative. 41. A Noun signifying the Cause why; the Instrument wherewith, the Manner how, the Price whereat, the Part wherein, the Disease whereof, or Quality wherewith, the Time when or wherein, the Measure or Degree of Excess whereby, the Game whereat, and these, by Birth, Kindred, Parentage, Descent, Nation, Name, Nature, Degree or Quality; by or at command, entreaty, request, persuasion, advice, counsel; at first sight, etc. are the Ablat. Case. Note, the Cause, manner or part may admit a Preposition. The Part affected is sometimes a Genitive, and in Poets an Accusative. Tanti, quanti, pluris, minoris noting price, are used only in the Gen. Valet hath an Accus. of price. 42. Then after a Comparative if it be not made by quàm, notes an Ablative. Comparatives may have before them these Ablatives, or rather Adverbs, tanto, quanto, aliquando, hoc, eo, quo, multo, paulo, minimo. 43. In or at with a Proper Name of a City, Town or private place, of the Plural Number only, or third Decl. or Rus the Country; From, by, through, with any Proper Name of City, Town or private place, Home or Rus the Country, note an Ablative.

L●ber, immunis, vacuus, purus, nudus, inops, orbus, extorr●, exul, have an Abl. with a or ab. 47. The matter of which a thing is made or consists is the Abl. with ex or de. The Person of, by, or from whom we hear, inquire, learn, understand, buy, hire, conjecture, remove, dissent, are discant, is an Ablative with a, ab, abs, e or ex. 48. The Person or thing of which after mereor with e'en ma●e, etc. is the Abl. with de. 〈…〉 or doer of or by which, after a Pa●●● or Neuter-Passive, is an Ablative with a, ab, or ●●s 5● A Noun o● P onoun joined with a Participle as Casat ●●g●●●, or two Substantives with being between them, as A●●sius being Emperor; not agreeing with or governed of any other Word, are both Ablative, called the A●●●tive absolute. 51. These Prepositions have an Ablative. A, ab, abs, of, by or from. Absque, without. Coram, before, or in presence of. Cum, with. De, of, concerning. E●●ex, of, out of. Pra, before, in comparison of. Pro, for before. Since, without. In, in or among. Sub, under. Super, of, concerning. Tenus, up to, is set after an Abl Singular. Clam, hath an Abl. or Accus. Palam, an Ablative. Many Verbs have an Abl. by virtue of the Preposition they are compounded withal, which Preposition is also sometimes repeated. Before a Vowel, j Consonant, l or r, we use ab or ex. ● fore t, q. we use abs. Before any other Consonant, we use a or e. Moods. 52. A Verb immediately following a Verb, Adjective or an Accusative after a Verb, is the Infinitive Mood. 53. The Conjunction that with a Nom. Case between two Verbs, being cast away, turns the N●● into the Accus. and the following Verb into the Infinitive Mood. That is a Conjunction when it cannot be turned into which. 54. The Infinitive of Verbs which may have a Nom. after them, will have the same Case after it which it hath before it. But Esse and Fieri having before them a Dative after datur, licet, expedit, and such like, may have either Dative or Accusative after them. 55. Participles, Gerunds and Supines govern the same Cases as the Verbs they come of. 56. Of, with the English of the Participle in ing, or the English of the Infinitive Active after Adjectives governing a Genttive Case, is the ●creind in di. 57 The English of the Participle in ing, with the sign of an Ablative Case, is a Gerund in do, with or without a Preposition. 58. The English of the Participle in ing with to or for, after Words requiring an Accus. with ad, or after the Actor, Matter or Inf●rnment of Action, is the ●●●●nd in dum with ad. The Gerund in dum is also used with ob, propter, ante, inter, circa. 59 Mus. or ou●●● between a Nom Case and its Verb, turns the N●●. into the Dat. and the Verb into a Gerund in dumb with est. 60. A Gerund with an Accus. following may be turned into a Participle in dus; and put both Words into the Genitive, if it be a Gerund in di; into the Dat or Abl. if a Gerund in do; and into the Accus. if a Gerund in dum. The Accus. Pl. after di, may be turned into the Gen. Pl. 61. The English of the Infinitive Active, or Participle in ing, after Verbs of moving to a place, is the former Supine. The English of the same Participle after Verbs of moving from a place, is the later Supine. 62. The English of the Infinitive Passive after fas, nefas, opus, indignus, dignus, foedus, turpis, facilis, and such like, is the later Supine. 63.
