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 aymé, 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.

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.
