This grammar had an English part and a Latin part, as in the authorized grammar, and the objection was to the omission of matter which had customarily been appended to the Latin part. It would have been printed by Wolfe, who had a monopoly on grammars, and dwelt in Paul's Churchyard.
But wherever Hayne got his information, he says that the revision of the grammar occurred in 154S, and quotes an edition of 1546 which was of the final revised form. We have seen that this revision was after r544. The correct date is thus between 1S44 and 1546, and may well be 1545 as Hayne says. It will be remembered that in this year King Henry reformed the Primer with A.B.C.22Quite likely, the next textbook above, the authorized grammar, also received its final touches at the same time. Here we are to remember that Prince Edward had a volume containing an A.B.C. of 1543, a first part of the grammar of 1542, and a second part of 154o. The three are closely connected, and are likely all to have been given a final polishing together in 1545.
