When a Substantive is governed of a Substantive in the Genitive Case then generally the Particle of comes in the English between the Substantives Immoderate desire of wealth is the destruction of many a man The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and a Crown of glory is the end of a religious life Hope of impunity is a cause of sin and rewards of vertue are encouragements unto well-doing The wrath of a King is as the roaring of a Lion and the rebellion of Subjects is as the sin of witchcraft Peace of mind and tranquillity of spirit is in the heart of the righteous but horrour of soul and terrour of conscience is in the breast of the wicked Prayer is the key of the day and the lock of the night it opens the one it shuts the other †Note 2. Sometimes the two Substantives have not of between them but the former hath s added to the end of it which if the word be not of the Plural Number is a termination or sign of a Genitive Case When the former of the two Substantives hath s added to it then the latter is to be made into Latine first and the former which hath s added to it is to be of the Genitive Case as The Kings heart is in the Lords hand who guid eth it to his own glory and the peoples good Gods commands are to be kept by men and mans promises are to be performed to God A womans mind like the wind and tide is often changing and seldom continues the same long Cato 's wisdom is to be preferred before Caesar 's power and Pomponius 's go dness before Pompey 's greatness Diana 's anger was Actaeon 's death and Helen 's beauty was Troy 's destruction Rome 's greatness was the worlds burden and its own ruine †Genitives Plural as well as Singular have sometimes s added to them as Winters Thunder is old mens wonder It is Carters luck sometimes to overthrow and Gamesters fortune sometimes to lose The Fisher-mens trading is better than the Butchers in time of Lent but the Butchers better than the Fishers all the year beside †Sometimes instead of s added to one of the two Substantives that govern one another the Particle his or her is set between them especially after Proper names as Charles Rushworth his Book and Henry Hall his Inkhorn and Edmund Ellis his Pen are all together in my Study Martha Hubbard her Cow and Anne Hacket her Ew and Jane Marshall her Lamb feed-all together in one Close †When this

So primùm and confestim And thus much of the Particles which are elegantly used together with others Now as these are not all the Particles whereof there be Elegant uses so neither are these all the Elegant uses that are made of these Particles there being as many more besides these so very much more observable and nothing less elegant than what is here said of these All I intended herein was to give the Learner such a taste of these Delicacies as might wher his Phansie to a moâ—e eager desire after a fuller knowledge of them Notwithstanding even these few well digested will have such influence upon all his Exercises as that no one of them will be without some savoury relish of pure Roman Eloquence Only I must caution the Teacher that he patiently bear with and gently correct his Scholars mistakes in these things which until he be well versed in them he will for want of judgment and experience be apt to fall into And this is all I shall say for the present of the Elegancies of the Particles CHAP. IX Of the Idioms of English and Latine EVery Language hath its Idiotisâ—s and Proprieties Phrases and Forms of speaking peculiar to it self which cannot be rendred word for word into any other Language but with much barbarity and baldness of expression Thus however it is in English and Latine insomuch that either way to be nimium fidus interpres to stick too close to the Verbal Translation will betray a man into ridiculous absurdities Therefore to take the Learner off again from his nice insisting on Verbal Translating and remedy those inconveniencies that come by his sticking too close thereto it will be necessary to acquaint him with the Idiotisms of both the English and Latine and shew him how to express himself in either Language according to the respective Proprieties thereof The one Precept in order to this is To heed the Sense more than the Words and to fit the expression thereunto That being well rendred whether into English or Latine whose sense is clearly and fully expressed in the Language whereby it is rendred though the words be more or fewer than were in that whence the Translation was made Observation indeed hath the main stroke in this business Yet sundry Helps may be administred And for the ease of the Master and profit of the Scholar I shall set down such as I either conceive or have found beneficial in this case One may be for the Teacher to observe unto him all the elegant Idiotisms that accidentally occur in his Lectures and Exercises and cause him to set them down in a Book and often to review them and repeat them Another may be to put him to learn such Latine Authors as are so translated into English as that the propriety of both Languages is heeded unto and observed by the Translator allowing him the use of the Translation Such are Tully's Offices translated by Mr. Brinslie Terence's Comedies by Mr. Bernard Corderius's Colloquies by Mr. Hoole c. and Janua Linguarum by Mr. Robotham A third may be to give him a Catalogue of English Idiotisms barbarously translated and together with them by way of correction the elegant translation of them and labour to make him understand the ridiculous barbarity of the one and propriety and elegancy of the other after this manner Send me word Bar. Mitte mihi verbum Send me word Eleg. Fac me per literas certiorem I am short of money Bar. Brevis sum pecuniae I am short of money Eleg. Deficit me pecunia Of this nature Corderius composed a whole Book styled De corrupti sermonis emendatione which may be usefully perused by any Learner or young Teacher of the Latine Tongue A fourth may be for the Teacher first to read over himself every English that his Scholar is to make into Latine and to observe what Idiotisms occur in that and advertise the Learner of them and shew him how to vary the English Phrase into such other expression as is capable of an Elegant Verbal Translation But the fifth and that which I ever found most beneficial is to give the Learner to Translate some Englishes composed all or most of Idiomatical expressions such as cannot without most ridiculous barbarity be translated word for word into Latine and to shew him and make him understand the ridiculous barbarousness of his own verbal Translations and to furnish him instead thereof with the proper and elegant expressions When he hath gone over in translating any one such English which would be of some pretty length then cause him to be very exact in giving readily without book phrase by phrase the corrected Latine for the English and the English for the Latine Also make him construe the Latine verbatim so far as it may with good sense be done it were not amiss to make him translate it word for word as far as may be for this will help him still more to the understanding of the English Phrase and teach him how to resolve such English Phrases into other words and expressions of like import and much facilitate the whole work After that cause him to translate it over again getting new Phrases for every expression and if there be no new supply which it is rare but there will be let him vary what he hath so as that it may seem new And let him do again all the same with this second Translation which he did with the former And last of all cause him looking upon and reading his English unless which is better he can say it without book to give for every English expression both several Latine Translations Then proceed to another and still to another of the same nature so long as there shall be need or reason This Exercise as it is of all others the most difficult so also the most profitable It is not imaginable what a strange alteration to the better it will in short time produce in all the Scholars performances And therefore I do most seriously above all others recommend it from my own experience unto the practice of others For the help of the Scholar in this work there are of late sundry Books come forth viz. Mr. Clarks Phraseologia Puerilis Mr. Willis's Anglicisms Latinized and last of all my own Idiomatologia Anglo-Latina or English Latine Phraseologie in which if the Learner should be put to get every day one Head of Phrases so perfectly at least as that looking only on the English he can give the Latine for it and looking only on the
