Excerpt from New Method of Learning With Facility the Latin Tongue, Vol. 2 of 2: Enlarged With Variety of Solid Remarks, Necessary Not Only for a Perfect Knowledge of the Latin Tongue, but Likewise for Understanding the Best Authors; Extracted From the Ablest Writers on This Language; With a Treatise on Latin Poetry Construction, by the Greeks called syntax, is nothing more than a fit composition and arrangement of the parts of speech. It is divided into simple or regular, and figurative or irregular. The regular is that which follows the natural order, and resembles greatly the manner of speaking in vulgar languages. The irregular or figurative is that which recedes from this common usage in order to follow some particular turns and forms of speaking, which have been studied by authors, for the sake of conciseness and elegance. Construction is divided into two forts, one of concord, and the other of government. The syntax of concord is when the parts agree among themselves in some thing, and is of four forts. 1. That of the substantive with the adjective; deus sanctus. 2. That of the relative with the antecedent; deus qui est. 3. That of the nominative with the verb; ego amo. And these concords ought to be attentively considered in discourse; for there is no adjective that hath not its substantive, nor relative that hath not its antecedent, nor verb that hath not its nominative, either expressed or understood. 4. To these three concords we add another, which is that of the accusative with the infinitive; me amare: supplicem esse victori. But in Greekish phrases; the nominative is frequently joined to the infinitive. The syntax of government is when one part of speech governs another: which is done, either according to the force of some preposition expressed or understood, or according to the property and nature of each case. 1. The genitive of itself always denotes the possessor, or that one thing is said of another, as liber Petri, Peter's book: vulnus Achillis, the wound of Achilles, whether it be taken actively for the wound which he made, or passively for that which he received. Wherefore this cafe is always governed by another substantive, though frequently understood; which has occasioned a multitude of false or useless rules, as hereafter we shall make appear.
