present of the indicatyve or shewyng mode, of the verbes folowyng.

away, and makyng the _e_ a consonant, ye shall have the present of the
indicatyve, as in these wordes: _parler, appeller, appaiser, appuier_,
etc.; puttyng _r_ away, ye have: _parle, appelle, appaise; appuie:_
sayeng, _japelle, tu appelle, il appelle, nous appellons, vous appelles,
ilz appellent._ Ye shall neverthelesse except some verbes defectyves, as
_aller_ that do make, _je voy, tu vas_, in the present, and such lyke.
Also all suche as have _d_ in the last syllable, ye shall leave all the
letters commynge after the _d_, and shall adde _s_, or _z_ to it: ye
shall have the plurell nombre of them, as in those wordes _tordre,
mordre, prendre, attaindre, auaindre_, and such lyke, puttynge _s_ or
_z_ to the _d:_ ye shall have _tordz, mordz, prendz, attainz, auaindz:_
