THE SUBJUNCTIVE OR CONJUNCTIVE.

The conjunctive is lyke the optative in his present and preterittes,

save that we say in stede of _pleust a Dieu, a ma uoullente; sy, come,

quant,_ or _ueu_, sayeng for the present, _sy je fuisse maintenant,

comme jay congneu, quant jeusse sentu._

The sayd conjunctyve hath two futures, the tone hath alwayes this worde

_mais_, goyng before the verbe, as _mais que je soie joieulz_, etc.

The tother is borowed of the potenciall mode, and hath for his

termynation, _roy, rois, roit: rions, ries, roient_, as _jaimeroie, tu

aimerois, il aimeroit, nous aimerions, uous aimeries, ilz aimeroient;_

and likewyse of all others. The termination of the infinityve shall

appere in the verbes here after folowyng, wherfore in eschewyng

prolixite, I will no further speke of it. The preterit must ever have

this verbe infynityve moode: _auoir_, before hym, as _auoir parle, auoir

dit, auoir mordz_, etc.

The gerundyve is formed of the infinityve, and of the participle present

tensis, as _de parler, pour conferer, en communicant_, etc. The

overthrowen or supins which ben called _reuerses_, ye shall ever put the

preterit parfit or the second futur of the conjunctive before him,

sayeng: _je te uoulsisse_, or _je te uouldroye bien aime de Dieu_, etc.

A RULE FOR TO MAKE PARTICIPLES, ADVERBES AND NOWNES OF THE VERBES

FOLOWYNGE.

All maner verbes infinitive mode endyng in _er_, takyng the _r_ away, ye

have the preterit masculin, and addyng an _e_ to the _e_ that remaine,

ye have the participle feminin of the preterit tensis, as in this verbe

_enseigner_, take away the _r_, ye have _enseigne_, which is masculin,

and addyng another _e_ to it, ye have _enseignee_, which is the preterit

feminin, soundyng the first _e_ as a uowel, and if ye adde _ment_ to it,

ye shal have _enseignement_, which is an adverbe, and puttyng both _es_

away, and addyng _ant_, ye have the participle present, whiche is

_enseignant_, and this rule is generall for the termination.

Also all verbes endyng in _ir_, as _uenir_, and such as come of him must

al change _ir _in _u_ for the preterit masculyn, and addyng an _e _to

the sayd _u_ for the feminin. Exemple for the masculin, if ye take _ir_

away from _uenir, tenir, souuenir, soubstenir, maintenir_, and adde _u_

for it, ye shall have, _uenu, tenu, souuenu, maintenu_, and addyng an

_e_ to it, ye shall have the feminin, whiche
