Noun substantive or a Verbe substantive is put in the Genitive or in the Ablative Example God who is a Spirit of wisedom unsearchable of infinite glory of holinesse incomparable of Justice uncorrupted hath not revealed himself in the books of the Philosophers Though many of them were men of sharp wit rare judgement and of great understanding Aristotle himself a man of vast knowledge of rare gifts was blinde in the matters of God Deus qui est inscrutabilis sapientiae Spiritus infinitâ gloriâ sanctitatis haud comparandae Justitiâ integrâ haud revelavit se in libris Philosophorum quamvis illorum non pauci fuerint acri ingenio viri raro judicio summi intellectus Aristoteles ipse vir stupendae scientiae dotum rararum dotibus raris in rebus divinis caecutiebat RULE XI Adjectives that signifie knowledge ignorance remembrance forgetting care carelesnesse fear boldnesse desire loathing or disdain also Comparatives and Superlatives with the signes Of or Among govern a Genitive case Likewise Nouns of number with these Adjectives consors particeps partaker exors not partaker and certain Adjectives in ans and ax and ens impos and compos insuetus insolitus insolens Example I am mindfull of Simonides who ignorant of the definition of God and guilty of his ignorance likewise uncertain of the question propounded by King Hiero and no lesse fearfull of error did aske a dayes respit Then he not carelesse of the Kings command nor prodigall or lavish of his wit but still unskilfull of the solution did demand two dayes longer that he might satisfie the King desirous of the businesse and greedy of the mystery Simonides not hungry of fame nor ambitious of honor but disdainfull of vain glory and not thirsty of praise did demand three dayes longer that he might be sure of the answer Simonides still doubtfull of the definition and weary of the search though he had not been sparing of his labour nor niggard of his paines answered The more I search the harder the matter is For indeed this is the deepest of the questions which the wit of the learnedest of men cannot resolve by the light of nature Men by the light of nature are void of understanding but those who are exercised and well seen in the Scriptures are not culpable nor guilty of such ignorance those that are not unaccustomed to these divine oracles are privy to that mysterie and partakers of that knowledge but others are not innocent of many errors in this point nor voide Memor sum Simonidis qui definitionis Dei ignarus suaeque ignorantiae reus pariterque quaestionis ab Hierone Rege propositae incertus nec minus erroris timidus diei spatium postulavit Tunc autem regii mandati haud negligens nec ingenii profusus aut prodigus sed solutionis adhuc imperitus biduum amplius postulavit ut regi negotii cupido mysterii avido satisfaceret Simonides famae haud famelicus nec ambitiosus honoris sed inanis gloriae fastidiosus nec laudis sitibundus triduum insuper postulavit ut certus esset responsi Simonides Definitionis adhuc dubius investigationis fessus laboris licet parcus non fuisset nec operae tenax respondit Quò magis scrutor eo difficilior res est Profectò enim haec est quaestionum asperrima quam doctissimi hominum ingenium lumine naturae solvere nequit Homines luce naturae sunt mentis impotes qui autem Scripturarum periti callentes sunt talis ignorantiae non sunt manifesti conscii qui non sunt insueti insoliti divinorum illorum oraculorum mysterii illius non sunt nescii participes sunt illius cognitionis alii autem multorum errorum hac in re non sunt insontes exortes RULE XII The english of these Pronouns genitives Of us Of you are made in latin by the first genitive plural Us by nostrum You by vestrum when they go after partitives interrogatives comparitives and superlatives Example That knowledge of God which none of us can obtain by the light of nature no not the wittiest or the subtlest of us is this God is that one spiritual and only perfect essence whose being is of himself and receives it of none in which one essence there are three persons the Father the Sonne and the holy Ghost and these three are one not confounded nor is the substance divided The Father is the first person of that blessed Trinity having being nor beginning of any but of himself The Sonne is the second person of the Trinity having his being of his Father alone and the whole being of his Father by an eternall and incomprehensible generation The holy Ghost is the third person proceeding and equally sent forth from the Father and the Sonne by an inward and unconceivable inspiration Tell me now ye Philosophers which of you hath understood these things none of you truly no not the learnedest of you Illa Dei cognitio quam nemo nostrum lumine naturae adipisci potest ne perspicacissimus quidem nostrum aut nostrum sagacissimus haec est Deus est illud unum ens spirituale summè perfectum cujus esse est a seipso a nullo accipit in quo uno ente tres sunt personae Pater Filius Spiritus sanctus hi tres unum sunt nec confunduntur nec substantia dividitur Pater est prima persona beatae illius Trinitatis esse nec initium ab ullo habens nisi a seipso Filius est Trinitatis persona secunda esse suum a patre solo habens totumque patris esse aeternâ haudque comprehendenda generatione Sanctus spiritus est tertia persona à Patre Filio procedens ex aequo missa internâ eaque haud concipienda inspiratione Dicite amabò Philosophi quis vestrum haec intellexit nemo vestrum sane ne doctissimus quidem vestrum RULE XIII The english of these Pronouns primitives Of me Of thee Of him Of her Of them Of us Of you are made in latin by their possessives Meus Tuus Suus Noster and Vester when there cometh a Noun or Participle after them and that Noun or Participle so following them must be put in the Genitive case and the Pronoun must agree with the Substantive going before Example In these divine mysteries if the minde of us aspiring to know much doth prie too farre it is dangerous Therefore let us bridle the thoughts of us high-flying let us curbe our presuming wit lest the senses of us conceiving be amazed and the understanding of us searching be dazled As for you that are curious your overworking brain and the fancie of you overbusie shall never be the more satisfied In divinis illis mysteriis si mens nostra aspirantium multa cognoscere ulterius quām par est scrutetur periculosum est Itaque nostras sublime volantium fraenemus cogitationes nostrumque arrogantium moderemur ingenium ne nostri concipientium sensus
THE SURE FOUNDATION Or certain Principles of CHRISTIAN RELIGION By short Examples applied to every Rule of SYNTAXIS to illustrate the same By PAUL SALOMEAU Schoolmaster at East-Sheene in the County of Surrey Non trepidat de successu inventionis suae qui probatis eam experimentis comprobavit LONDON Printed by A. M. and are to be sold by Henry Seile at his Shop over against St Dunstans Church 1653. TO The very Hopefull young Gentleman Mr SEIMOUR SHIRLEY Sonne and Heir to the Right Honourable Sr ROBERT SHIRLEY Baronet Paul Solomean dedicated this little Book as a memoriall of his thankfulnesse and reverend love to his Honourable Father and Mother Beseeching God Almighty to prosper and inrich them in this life with Honour Health and Wealth filling their hearts with Graces necessary unto salvation To the Friendly READER Friendly Reader AFter that I had been called to the laborious employment of teaching youth I gave my self wholly to study how to make easie and plain unto the youth committed to my charge those hard principles of Grammar and withall to furnish them with wholsom instructions divine or morall remembring the grave exhortation of the Prince of the Roman Orators Tully wherein he misheth his son Mark to ioyn the Eloquence of speech to the knowledge of Philosophy This method I have followed in all my grammaticall exercises and sometimes I have joyned some divine precepts sometimes some morall This Treatise which I offer thee is one of them which twenty six years experience in teaching dares to maintain to be the easiest surest and nearest way to attain unto the knowledge of the Latine tongue or any other else if so handled I pray take it in good part from him whose study is the publike good PAUL SOLOMEAU THE SURE FOUNDATION The first Exercise Of the Concords and of Verbs which do govern a Nominative In which is treated Of the Scriptures RULE I. The Verbe Personal must be put in the same number and person as the Nominative or Vocative which answereth to the question Who or What made by the Verbe Example GReat without doubt is the Scriptures authority for whatsoever humane subtilty hath invented doth yeild unto them The pure service of God is shewed only in them the way also unto salvation is delivered in them Nothing is commanded in them but goodnesse nothing is promised but happinesse True Philosophie is found in them for they shew us the cause of all things There good-manners are taught for by them mans life is ordered to piety and holinesse Logick also is therein contained for the light of the reasonable soul doth proceed from them SUmma est proculdubiò Scripturarum authoritas illis enim cedit quicquid excogitavit humana perspicacitas Purus Dei cultus in illis solis monstratur via etiam ad salutem in illis traditur In illis nihil praecipitur nisi bonitas nihil promittitur nisi felicitas Vera in illis invenitur Philosophia illae enim rerum omnium causam indicant Mores ibi docentur boni per illas enim hominis vita ad pietatem sanctitatem componitur Logica etiam in illis continetur Rationalis enim animae lumen ab illis proficiscitur RULE II. The Nominative of the Pronouns Primitives I Thou He We You They is seldom expressed in Latin but when we have a further meaning which is called emphasis or when divers persons are expressed which is called discretio Example When it is question of salvation thou oughtest not to prefer Luther nor Calvin Thou oughtest not to extoll the Councill of Nice nor he that of Trent nor another that of Ariminum We must beleeve these divine testimonies onely If thou doest think otherwise I do differ from thee for I have learned to attribute unto them that honour and fear as firmely to beleeve that their authors have not erred Cum de salute agitur haud tu Lutherum praeferre debes nec ego Calvinum Nicenum haud tu concilium extollere debes nec ille Tridentinum nec alter Ariminense Divinis illis testimoniis solis est credendum Tu si aliter sentias ego a te dissentio hunc enim ego honorem timorem illis tribuere didici ut ferme credam illarum authores non erravisse RULE III. Many Nouns or Pronouns singular having a Conjunction copulative between them will have a Verbe plurall which Verbe plurall must be of the most worthy person which is the first but if there be no Nominative of the first person the Verbe must be in the second person when one of the Nominatives is of the second and the other of the third If they be both of the third person the Verbe also shall be of the third person Example Thou and I ought not to neglect them thou and I ought rather to make much of them for as Saint Paul and Saint Peter have taught us they are divinely inspired Illas negligere tu ego non debemus has potius maximi pendere tu ego debemus Ut enim Divus Paulus Divus Petrus docuerunt nos sunt divinitus inspiratae RULE IV. A Noune Pronoune or Participle Adjective must be put in the same case gender and number as the Substantive which answereth to the question Who or What made by the Adjective Example The holy Scriptures are a shining lampe The readie cure of a wounded heart They do contain a most excellent language and a most powerfull word Sanctae Scripturae sunt lampas ardens vulnerati cordis praesens remedium eximium complectuntur sermonem verbum efficacissimum RULE V. Many Nouns substantives singular or Pronouns having a Conjunction copulative between them will have an adjective or relative plurall which adjective or relative plurall shall be of the most worthy gender which in things apt to have life is the masculine but the neuter in things that have no life yea though the substantives or antecedents be of the masculine gender or of the feminine and none of them of the neuter Example Aristotle and Plato though learned have not treated of so excellent things The skill and knowledge sf all the Philosophers are vaine if they be compared to them The eloquence also and power of Orators are weaker then the power of the Scriptures Moses and Job were better versed in the things of nature then Aristotle Orpheus and Pindarus are not to be compared to Solomon and the Songs and Verses of David are more comfortable then those of Tirtaeus Aristoteles Plato docti licet de rebus tam eximiis non egerunt Philosophorum ars scientia omnium vana sunt ad illas comparata Eloquentia etiam oratorum facultas facultate scripturarum sunt infirmiora Moses cum Jobo erant peritiores rerum naturalium quā Aristoteles Orpheus Pindarus Solomoni non sunt comparandi Psalmi etiam versus Davidis Tirtaei versibus sunt amoeniora RULE VI.
