Primula Veris: A Brighter Gem, Æsop's Cock never found, Teaching (ne'r taught yet) Speech's perfect ground. Or, The Third Part Of Calverleys Notes: Which Notes (after Discovery of the wonderous Mistakes, needless Difficulties, and Prolixity of the Common Grammar) initiate a Method which may Be a Glory to the Nation, And an Encouragement to the Learning Youth of Europe: Then All must learn this true Distinction's glance, Else Babes will jear us for our Ignorance

sample: As if your Word be a thing, it is a Noun; if it signifie the Action of any thing it is a Verb; if it be neither Noun nor Verb, then it is an Adjunct, the signification whereof shews what kind of Adjunct it is: do so by every Word in that or any other Sentence, & it makes thee (hitherto grievous) labor and doubts in parsing, a very sport.
