SENTENTIAE PVERILES , TRANSLATED Grammatically : Leading the Learner , as by the hand , to construe right , parse , and make the same Latine ; also to get both matter and phrase , most speedily and surely , without inconuenience .

AT LONDON , Printed by H. L. for Thomas Man , 1612.

TO THE NOble and hopefull yong Lord , Ferdinando , Lord Hastings , son and heire apparant of the right Honourable , the Earle of Huntingdon .

TO promise , is the easiest matter of all other , right Noble Lord : but in things of moment all the difficulty is in performance . How I haue ingaged my selfe to your most honourable Parents , by publike acknowledgement of the bond of my duety , for their many fauours , and by protestation of my desire euer to witnesse my thankfulnesse , in seeking the aduancement of them and their Noble house , it is well knowen to all . Can I then be blamed , if I studie to performe that vnto their worthy progeny , which I cannot to their Honours otherwise ? That as your Lordshippe , with all the Noble offspring of their most renowned family do excell in birth , so you may in all singular learning , wherein true Nobility doth chiefly consist , and whereby you may be admired and honored of all . When Nobility hath all parts of rare wisedome to gouerne it , then is it as the goodliest ship , hauing winde at will , vnder the rule of a skilfull maister , so as it shall euer saile safely , in the middest of most perilous rocks and boysterous stormes . To this ende this hath been my first desire towards your Lordship , that the entry to all good learning may be most easie vnto you , and full of all sweet delight . Though all my schoole labours be yours in this respect , that they haue beene of later yeers , more specially intended for your Lordship aboue others , and proceeded in principally by the fauour of my Honourable Lord ; yet heerin I haue thought it most fit to signifie this duty . Because , howsoeuer it be the least of all my indeauours for your Lordship , yet it is for your entrance into your Latine studies , and the first of those Grammaticall translations , whereof I haue conceiued an vndoubted hope of a perpetuall benefit to come to all Schooles and good learning by them : by setting all the younger sort in the high way , and guiding them by the hand , to goe through all their first vsuall Authors with certainty and double fruit , and that almost in one halfe of the time , which is ordinarily spent in them ; as I trust experience shall prooue to all , and this little book shall giue sufficient tryall . So that your Lordship may haue passed all the difficulty of learning , before you haue felt what any paynes of learning doe meane : and that , that part which hath been wont to be the discouragement of the little ones , may be made vnto them the pleasantest of all ; to their exceeding ioy , with the comfort of all both parents and instructours . Also for the little booke it selfe , which I haue thus made choyse of , to shew the first triall in , according as it was gathered of purpose , for the first enterers into Latin , although it bee small in quantity , yet the worth of it truely knowen , and it rightly vsed , shal be found aboue the weight in the finest gold ; for that there are contained in it , so many wise sentences of most learned men , as shall at the very first giue your Lordship a true taste of all kinde of that wisedome , which shall so much adorne you , and also furnish you with words to expresse the same . Which , after that you are once perfect in the first grounds of Grammar ( as you may soon be , by the plaine direction which I haue laboured to prepare for you , in my questions called the Posing of the Accidence and Grammar ) by the help of this translation , and your oft reading the sentences out of it , you shall haue both matter and phrase to flowe into your remembrance , without either toyling of your minde , or ouercharging of your memory at all . For the manner of the vse hereof , and the rest of this kinde , that your Lordship may reape the benefit of them , and of all my trauells for you , I referre your director vnto that which I haue written in my Grammar-Schoole . These first fruits of my most dutifull affections , being accepted according to my entirest desire towardes your lasting honour , I haue iust cause to hope that by that time that your Lordship shall bee meete to proceede to higher studies , the Lord who hath thus begun , will make all the way to the toppe of all excellent knowledge , as sure , ready , and full of all pleasant allurement vnto you , as euer Noble personage did knowe before . Vntill which time , I shall not faile thorough his gratious assistance , to prosecute the worke by a continued inquiry of all the learnedst and best experienced , of this present , and all ages past ; nor yet to haue vndoubted assurance , of whatsoeuer I shall commend vnto your Lordship . If this dedication shall seeme strange vnto any , by reason of your Lordships tender yeeres , this will bee my iust defence : that as God gaue this speciall experiment of translating Grammatically , and of the benefits thereof together with you , so far forth as I know ▪ so my hope is that it shall growe vp with you , and come to maturity by that time that your Lordship shall be able to iudge of it , by your own experience . In the meane while I shall not be wanting to striue with God by prayer , that he may so blesse you with your hopeful Brother , and all other allied to your Noble house , and to fit you for the best studies , that you may adde to the renowne of all your famous progenitors , & propagate an euerlasting augmentation of all vertue and honour to all that euer succeed you , and be lights to all other of true nobility .

Your Lordships , in all study , and dutifull affection , IOHN BRINSLEY .
