rir, benir, bannir_, etc. the whiche chaungynge the _r_
in _s_, ye have _conuertis, assoupis, appouris, benis, bannis;_ sayeng:
_je bannis, tu bannis, il bannist, nous bannissons, vous bannisses, ilz
bannissent;_ and lykewyse of the tothers. Also there must be many
except, as _consentir, assentir, mourir, querir, dormir,_ whiche do make
their present: _je consens, je assens, je meurs, je quiers, je dors, tu
dors, il dort, nous dormons, vous dormes, ilz dorment._
Also there is two other that doth ende in oir, the tone hath an _a_, in
the penultyme syllable, as _auoir_ and _scauoir;_ whiche do make _ay_
and _scay_ in the present. The tother maner hath lyke termynation
without an _a_, as _apperceuoir, deuoir, pouruoir, concepuoir,
decepuoir,_ whiche do make their present, _japercoy, je doy, je pouruoy,
je concoy, je decoy;_ how be it _ualloir_ and _uolloir_ must be except
which do make in the present _je vaulz_, and _voulloir, je veulz, tu
ueulz, il ueult, nous uoulons, uous uoules, ilz ueulent._
Also there is another sorte endynge in _e_, in the infinitive, as
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.
