A Pronoun is a part of Speech that standeth for a Noun Substantive, either at present or before spoken of, as ille he or that, hic this, qui who.
There be Ten Pronounes, Ego, tu, su•…•…, ille, pse, iste, hic, is, qui and quis, besides their Co•…•…∣pounds, egomet, t•…•…e, hic•…•…e, idem, quisnam, aliq•…•…, and such others.

Of Pronounes such as shew the thing present are called Demonstrotives, as ego, tu, hic; and such as refer to a thing antecedent or spoken of be∣fore are called Relatives, as qui who or which.
Quis, and often qui, because they ask a que∣stion, are called Interrogatives, with their Com∣pounds ecquis, numquis.
Ego, tu, sui, be of the First Declension, and be thus declin'd.
