bumes, vous butes, ilz burent._
Example of _is:_ as _je feis, tu feis, il feist, nous fismes,
vous feistes, ilz firent._
of _ins:_ as _je uins, tu uins, il uint, nous uimmes,
uous uintes, ilz uindrent._

vous donnastes, ilz donnerent._
THE PRETERIT INDIFFYNITYVE.
Ye shall ever fourme the preterit indiffynityve with the thre persons,
both singuler and plurell nombres of this verbe (have) in the present
tensis, saying, _jay ayme_, I have loved; _tu as ayme_, thou hast loved;
_il a ayme, nous auons, uous aues, ilz ont ayme;_ and likewise of all
other verbes with the sayd have, as _jay dit, jay bu, jay lu, jay fait._
OF THE FORMATION OF THE PRETER PLUS PARFYTE.
The preterit most parfect is ever formed with the preterit imperfyte of
the foresayd verbe (have) as the indiffynityve is with the presente,
sayeng I have done, thou haddest done, that is to say, _jauoie dit,
jauoie ayme, jauoie bus, jauoie requis;_ and so thorowe the thre
persons, never chaungynge the terminacion of the verbe, as _jauoie dit,
tu auois dit, il auoit dit, nous auions dit, uous auies dit, ilz auoient
dit;_ and so of all other lyke.
THE FUTUR OF THE INDICATYVE.
Ye shall understande that all maner verbes in generall ben termyned in
their thre persons synguler and plurell nombres after this wayes: _ray,
ras, ra: rons, res, ront_, so that ye shall take the verbe in the
present, and put the _s_ away at the later ende, if it be of the seconde
or the fyrst conjugacion, and adde therto the foresayd terminacyon: as
in this worde _dis_, I saye; ye shall take awaye _s_ and adde _ray_,
sayeng _diray, diras, dira, dirons, dires, diront. Jaimeray, tu aymeras,
il aymera, nous aymerons, uous aymeres, ilz aymeront_. There be some
verbes must have more addicion, as _dors_, I slepe, whiche must have
_mi_, added unto it, sayeng, _dormiray_, and _boy, drinke,_ which
sygnify I drinke; ye shal nat say _boiray_, but _buueray_, I shall
drinke; and so of some other, as _doy_, ought; and _metre_, I put. How
be it they be all termined with the above sayd termination.
