NOunes, Pronounes, and Participles are de∣clin'd with six Endings, which are called Cases, both in the Singular and Plural Number. The Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, Vocative, and Ablative.
The Nominative is the first Case, and properly nameth the thing, as Liber a Book.
The Genitive is Englisht with this Sign of, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Libri of a Book.
The Dative with this Sign to, or for, as Libro to or for a Book.
The Accusative hath no sign.
The Vocative calleth or speaketh to, as O Liber O Book, and is commonly like the Nomina∣tive.
But in the Neuter Gender the Nominative, Accusative, and Vocative, are like in both Num∣bers, and in the Plural end alwayes in a.
The Ablative is Englisht with these Signs, in, with, of, for, from, by, and such like, as d•…•… Libro of or from the Book, pro Libro for the Book And the Ablative Plural is alwayes like the Dative.
Note, that some Nouns have but one ending throughout all Cases, as Frugi, nequam, nihil; and all words of number from three to a hundred, a•…•… quatuor four, quinque five, &c.
Some have but one, some two, some three Cases only, in the Singular or Plural, as use will best teach.
