Chapter 8

So we be, so be ye, so be they. Ce sommes mon, ce estes mon, ce sont mon.

And so forth thorow al the tenses and modes of all the tother twayne, as:

I was, I was nat, but I was: so was I. I sayde, Jestoye, non estoye, sy estoie: cestoie mon. Je dysoie,

I dyd nat, but I dyd, non faisoie, sy faisoie,

so dyd I. I had, I had nat, but I had, so had I: ce faisoie mon. Jauoie, non auoie, sy auoie, ce auoie mon: je eus, non eus:

I shall have, I shall nat, but I shall, so shall I. jaray, non aray, sy aray, ce aray mon.

Which thre wordes shall serve you to any verbes signifieng either _doing_ or _suffryng_.

EXAMPLE FOR NEGATION.

I am nat: but I am. I am nat: no more I am. Je ne suis pas: sy suis. non suis: ce ne suis mon.

I do nat: but I do. I do nat: no more do I. Je ne fay pas: sy fay. non fay: ce ne fay mon.

I have nat: but I have. I have nat: no more have I. Je nay pas: sy ay. non ay: ce nay mon.

Thou hast nat: but thou hast. thou hast nat: no more hast thou. Tu nas pas: sy as. non as: ce nas mon, etc.

Touchyng the conjugation interrogative, as,

Am I: do I: have I: or no, Suis je: fays je: ay je: ou non,

ye shall answere, _ouy_, _nenny_, _non_: and to the interrogation negatyve, as,

Am nat I, do nat I, have nat I, Ne suis je pas, ne fay je pas, nai je pas,

ye shal answer as is said before in thexample of the negation, wherfore this is sufficient for this present rule.

Another conjugation of these two verbes in latyn _uado_ and _eo_, whiche both verbes of one signifycation signifyeth in englyssh, _I go_, the which _go_ is defectyve in the frenche tonge, wherfore the tone must helpe the other.
