all other panes of the maine Land ^ and in many 

 Ilandcs , feeing wee rauil not regarde the naturall 

 order of generation, but the boimtie of the Creator 

 On the other part * I will no thold it for a thing incre 

 dible , that they have carried fomeofthefcbeaftcsfor 

 the pfeafureof hunting : for thatwe often fee^Princes 

 and great menkeepe and nourifh in their cages, (onely 

 for their pleafure and greatnefle ) both Lyons , Beares, 

 .and other fevage beaftes , efpeeially when they arc 

 .brought from farre Countries : but to fpeake tfiat of 

 Woolves, Foxes and other beafts which yeeld no pro* 

 fite,and have nothing rare and excellent in them,but to 

 hurtthecattell^andtofay alfo that they have carried 

 them by fea for huming^ruefy it is a thing that hath no 

 fenfe. Who can imagine, that in ia long a vayage,meiv 

 would take the paynes to carrie Iroxes to Few, eTpcci^

 the have carried Tygers and Lyons? Truely it were a 

 thing worthy the laughingat , to thinke fo. It was fuf- 

 ficient, (yea, very much ) for men^driven againft thek

 to efcape the danger of the Sea with they r owne lives, 

 without bufying themfelves to carrie Woolves-and 

 Foxes, and to nourifh them at Sea. Jf thefe beafts then 

 came by Sea , wee muftbeleeve it was by fwimming r 

 which may happen ir^fome Hands not farre diftant 

 from others, or fpm the may ne Land, the which wee 

 cannot denie, feeing the experience wee have, and? 

 that wee fee thefe beaus, beeing preft to fwimme day 

 and night without wearinefle, andfo to efcape. But 

 this is to be vnderftood in final Straights and paflagcs: 

 for in- our Ocean, they would moeke at fuchfwin>
