pube tenus up to the groin.
How many are ambiguous or of both cases? Four. Which? In in, sub under, super above, and subter underneath: but generally with different signification.
When do they receive the accusative case? While we signify motion to a place, that is, when we signify that we or anyone are going to a place, are, or are about to go: as, Itur in antiquam syluam One goes into the ancient forest. Postésque sub ipsos nituntur gradibus And afterward they climb up to the steps themselves.
When do they serve the ablative case? While we signify rest, or motion in a place: that is, when we signify that we or anyone are in a place, or have been, or will be: as, Stans celsa in puppi Standing on the high stern. And, Arma sub aduersa posuit radiantia quercu He placed the shining weapons under the opposite oak.
Super above, what force does it have? Although it is naturally placed before the accusative case, and that when it signifies place, it is yet mostly joined to the ablative, as also subter underneath: as, Gemina super arbore fidunt They sit on the twin tree. And, Ferre iuuat subter densa testudine casus It helps to bear misfortunes under the dense tortoise shell. Outside this form, when the preposition Super about signifies, that is, that mention is made of someone, it is only of the ablative case: as Multa super Priamo rogitans, super Hectore multa Asking much about Priam, much about Hector: that is, about Priam, and about Hector.
In in, what force does it have? It also then only serves the accusative case, when it signifies "against" or "towards": as, In adulterum, & in desertorem durus, pius in patrem Harsh towards an adulterer and towards a deserter, dutiful towards a father.
How many are the inseparable prepositions, that is, which are not located in speech outside composition? Seven. Which? Di-, dis-, re-, se-, am-, co-, con-. How? For we say, Diminuo I diminish, distraho I draw apart, recipio I receive back, secubo I sleep apart, amplector I embrace, cohæreo I stick together, congredior I gather together.
D E C O N I V N C T I O N E OF THE CONJUNCTION.
What is a Conjunction? An indeclinable part of speech, which connects and arranges the parts and clauses of speech.
Whence is it called a conjunction? From "conjoining," in that it conjoins the expression. For if anyone says, "Ego tu eamus" I you let us go, the expression disagrees. If you interpose Et and, and say, "Ego & tu eamus" I and you let us go, it begins to cohere.

F I G V R A FIGURE.
