_Mecoacana_, leave us not. This Verbe is here compounded of three: first, _Ma_, is abbreviated from the word _mani_, which signifieth no or not, as likewise _manchucu. Co_ or _coh_, signifieth wee or us, and as in the rules before I have observed, is put here before the Verb; which causeth the _n_ to be cut off from the verb, which otherwise should have beene _nacana_, of _nucana_, I leave, _nacana_, thou leavest, _inrucana_, he leaveth, and so forth.

_Chipam catacchihi_, in our being tempted. This is another great elegancy in that tongue to use a Verbe Passive for a Noune, and to add to it a Preposition; as here, _chipam_, which signifieth in; and putting to the Verbe the Particles wherewith the Nounes are varied and declined. _Nutacchih_, signifieth I tempt. The Passive is _quintacchihi_, I am tempted; from whence _nutacchihi_, signifieth my being tempted, or my temptation; _atacchihi_, thy temptation, _rutacchihi_, his temptation, _catacchihi_, our temptation.

_Coaveçata china unche tsiri._ Deliver us from all evill things. _Inveça_, as I have noted before, signifyeth to deliver. _Co_ is the first person Plural put before the Verbe, as I observed in the rule above, and in that Conjunction or compound _macoacana. China_ is a Preposition, signifying above or from. _Unche_, signifieth all, which is undeclinable. _tsiri_, is an Adjective properly undeclinable also or unvariable, in Gender, Case, and Number; as are all Adjectives in that tongue. It signifieth evill or bad; as _tsiri vinac_, an evill man, _tsiri ixoc_, a bad woman, _tsiri chicop_, a bad or evill beast; so likewise in the Plural number it is the same. Without a Substantive it is as the Newter Gender, as _malum_ for _malares_, signifying an evill thing, or evill things. The Substantive that is formed from it, is _tsiriquil_, which signifieth evill or wickednesse. _Voronquil_, signifieth the same.

_Mani quiroz_, not good: this is put for a further expression of evils to be delivered from whatsoever is not good. _Mani_, as I noted before, signifieth not. _Quiro_, is as _tsiri_, an Adjective, signifying good or a good thing, and is undeclinable, unvariable in both numbers. _Quiro vinac_, a good man, _quiro ixoc_, a good woman, _quiro chicop_, a good beast; so likewise in the plural number, _quiro vinac_, good men. The Substantive that is derived from this Adjective, is, _quirohal_, goodness. _Chiohal_, signifieth the same. _quirolah_, is very good, _tsirilah_, very bad, where _lah_ is added at the end of an adjective, it puts the same aggravation as _valde_ in _Latin_.
