saying, _laughyng, redyng, frieng,
_dire, rire, lire, frire,_ etc.
say, laugh, rede, frye;
which make in their present, _dis, ris, lis, fris;_
sayeng, _je lis, tu lis, il list, nous lisons, vous lises, ilz lisent._
Also there ben others endyng in _ore_, as _clore_, shitte, with all his
compost, that is to saye, _disclore_, unshitte, _forclore_, shitte out,
etc. whiche do make in their present, _clos, declos, forclos,_ etc. and
for cause that rules ben infinites, and that they ben more necessary for
the teacher than for the lernar, I suppose that those above sayd ben
sufficyent for the indicative present.
It is to be noted that in the frenche tongue is but two cojugacions: the
first shal be discerned and knowen by the first persone plurel nombre of
the present in the shewynge moode, for where the sayd fyrst persone hath
no _s_ in the seconde sillable before his termination or ende, than it
is of the
we love, we have, we bette, we gyve, first, as in these verbes, _aymons,
auons, batons, donons,_ with such lyke; and where there is an _s_
begynning the last syllable of the forsayd fyrst persone, than it is of
the second, as in these verbes, _baisons, taisons, brisons, faisons,
disons, lisons, pensons,_ etc.
