OF THE IMPERATIVE, WHICHE SIGNIFYETH COMMAUNDYNG.

The imperative for the most parte is ever lyke the verbe present tensis

of the indicatyve moode, leavyng the fyrst persone and puttyng the

pronowne after the verbe, for it differs nat: save in the thyrde persone

synguler, and plurell nombre of some verbes, as _jay_, whiche doth make

in the thirde person synguler, _il a_; and the thirde persone of the

imperatyve is _quil ayt_, or _ayt cil_, ou _celuy_; and lykewyse of

_scay_. But of the moste parte of others, it is lyke the present,

leavyng the fyrst persone, whiche is nat in the imperatyve synguler

nombre, as in this verbe _jaime_, _tu aime_, _il aime_, _nous aimons_,

_uous aimes_, _ilz aiment_; which his present is that is a lyke in the

imperatyve, leavynge the fyrst persone, sayeng _aime tu_, _aime cil_,

_aimons nous_, _aimes uous_, _quilz aiment_; puttyng ever the pronowne

after the verbe.

The sayde imperatyve hath two futures, the tone affyrmatyve, and the

tother negatyve, whiche have evermore these frenche wordes going before

do, kepe, se,

every person: _faitz_, _garde_, _voy_,

Se that thou speke; loke that he move nat;

as in this example: _Voy que tu parle_; _garde quil ne se meuue_;

_prenons garde que nous ne mouuons_, _que vous ne mouues_; _prenez garde

quilz ne se meuuent_; and lykewise of the affyrmative, leavyng this

worde _ne_.
