Of the vse of this tence, and what may thereby be learned.
First note, that adding the Participle of what Verbe soeuer vnto this tence, you frame a tence, which although some Grammarians haue made no mention of, yet is so necessary, and so often vsed of good Italians, both in speaking and writing, as I am perswaded, that no man can truely speake or write without it; or that it is a second, vndoubted, most certaine and determined Preterpluperfect tence of all Actiue or Transitiue Verbes, as for example.
| Io hẻbbi pagáto. | Nói hauémmo scrítto. |
| Tù hauẻsti saltáto. | Vói hauéste lẻtto. |
| Lúi hẻbbe godúto. | Lóro hẻbbero dormíto. |
Secondly, you may learne by this tence to know, that whereas the first Preterperfect tences of the Indicatiue moode of most Italian Verbes, of the second and third coniugations are somewhat difficile, vncertaine, and irregular, that it is but in three persons, that is to say, in the first and third singular, and in the third plurall, yet are they not so vncertaine, but that if you finde only the first person singular, which doth euer end inI, as Hẻbbi. Sẻppi. Tácqui. Nácqui. Víddi. &c. change that I. into E. and vndoubtedly you haue the third person singular, as Hẻbbe. Sẻppe. Tácque. Nácque. Vídde. and to the third person singular addingRo, you haue infallibly the third person plurall, as Hẻbbero, Sẻppero, Tácquero, Nácquero, Víddero. &c. wheras the other three persons, to wit, the second singular, and the first and second plurall of this tence are euer regular, and keepe one certaine termination, and may be framed by the Infinitiue, as thus, Take Re, from the Infinitiue moode, and adde Sti, vnto the rest you haue the second person singular, as Hauésti, Sapésti, Tacésti, Nascésti, Vedésti, and likewise take Re. from the Infinitiue, and vnto it adde Mmo, you haue the first person plural, as Hauémmo, Sapémmo, Tacémmo, Nascémmo, Vedémmo. And likewise take Re, from the Infinitiue, and thereunto adde Ste, as thus, change the last I. of the second person singular of this tence into E. you haue the second person plurall, as Hauéste, Sapéste, Tacéste, Nascéste, Vedéste. Yet remember that this tence is not so strictly vncertain but that it may for a shift be made regular, as those of the first coniugation, as thus, Hauéi, hauésti, hauétte, Hauémmo, Hauéste, Hauéttero, and so Tacéi, Tacésti, Tacétte, Tacémmo, Tacéste, Tacéttero, Godéi, Godésti, Godétte, Godémmo, Godéste, Godéttero, &c.
