To be, have, do, love, Being, having, doing,
teach, read, hear. loving, &c. present.
To have been, had, done, Been or having,
loved, taught, read, heard. had, &c. past.
The feminine or endearing inflections of the second persons _thou_ and
_ye_ have been omitted, as needless, since they all agree with the
pronouns _you_ and _ye_, and the only changes are from are and be to
_art_ and _beest_, have to _hast_, were to _wert_, shall and will to
_shalt_ and _wilt_, and might to _mightest_, and do to _dost_; but to
make use of them in the masculine gender, would be depreciating it. And
the participle perfect, being superfluous, it has been likewise omitted;
for as _ing_ the present is compleat, so is _ed_ for the past or the
privative of springs or actions.
