The order how to make your Terriars. 
ay (20U must make a Trench of seuen yards long, two foote broade within, 
“jf and then make a crosse Trench ouer the same of fiue yards long, and 
® so little crosse Trenches in the same of an ell long so conueyed, that 
one run into another, couer al your Trenches with Clods or Turffes, and leaue 
foure holes open at the ends thereof for ayre. Then put in your Foxe Cub, 
and at the same hole put in one of your Terriars, and when the same hath 
found the Cubbe, you may helpe him with another, and if you finde those too 
weake you may put in the other couple also: but you must make sure that 
your Terriars at the first be well eased and kill the Cubbe. By that time your 
Terriars have kild halfe a dosen Cubbes in this sort in the earth, they will 
fight very boldly : and being thus made will prooue excellent good. But you 
must beware that you fight them not if they bee bitten, till they be whole 
againe. And you must have speciall care in the seeking out a right kinde of 
them : for there is great difference in the breede of your Terriars, and great 
choise to be made of them, both for their hardie fighting and swift running.

Hound being thus well chosen to breede upon, your man must be very carefull 
in the time of the Braches pride that no other dogg come to her but one, and 
he must serue her but three times. 
_A Brach is nine daies entergellying, nine daies full proude, and nine daies in 
drying up : all which time she must bee kept with meate and water very care-
