Of a_ PARTICIPLE.
A Participle is a _Part of Speech_, which partaketh of a _Verb_ and a
_Noun_. When it has a Relation to Time it may be considered as a
_Verb_; but when it is joined to a _Substantive_ or admits of
_Comparison_, it may be considered as an _Adjective_.
When the _termination_ of the _Participle Passive_ is not formed by
adding the Syllable _ed_ to the _first Person_ of the _Indicative Mood
Present Tense Singular_; or when the _Termination_ of the _Participle
Passive_ differs from the _Termination of the Preter Tenses_, the
_Verb_ becomes _irregular_; but in all other Respects is conjugated as
the regular Verb; as I abide, thou abidest, &c.
_Pres. Tense._ _Preter._ _Participle Passive._
