¶ De hoc vulgaris signo &c
Whanne soeuer there comyth a propre name of a place or towne after thys englisshe signe at. It shall be put in the genitif case. so that it be the singuler noū bre. and the fyrst declinson. or the secounde. as I lerne grammer at Oxforde. Disco grammaticam Oxonie. I dwelled a whyle at yorke Manebam aliquam diu Eboraci
But and if the forsayde propre name be ye thyrde de¦clynson or the plurel noūbre. It shall be put in the ab¦latyf case wythoute a {pre}posicyon. as Thou waste bor¦ne at Chartage. Tu eras Thartagine natus. Thou dyddest studye at athenys. Studuisti athenis
Moreouer I may take an accusatyf case. or else an ablatyf of ye forsayde nownes. wyth a {pre}posicyon of a conueniēt significacyō. as Manes apud chartaginē and so of al other. as sum apud Londonias
