the Random fighting Cock, as a Bull-Dog does 

 from a Maftiff; this Sort of Cocks, to aniwer 

 their Defign in Fighting, ought to be furnifh'd 

 with Strength fuitable to it, and fomevvhat of 

 more Bone than the former, for as thp other 

 excells by A&ivity, fo thefe require Strength in 

 a particular Manner, to accomplifh their End : 

 It is obferyable in this Sort of Cocks, that they 

 are never in a Hurry, and feldom known to fpar, 

 but keep their Ground and Hand it fairly Blow 

 for Blow, always coming in a Place where' they 

 are lure to do Execution. Mr Bojlom 1 ^ who I 

 made mention of in the Second Error, . was as fa- 

 mous for his Dttck-tvingsof this exaft Kind, as Mr 

 Hen e age was for his Dog-Kennels, which excel- 

 led differently ; and it may not be amifs to ob-. 

 ferve, that the Sixfcore Guineas which was 

 fought for three Years together at Lincoln, by 

 Subfcription, was won every Year by his Fowl, 

 bat indeed they were Cocks form'd on Purpofe 

 for that Bufinefs, having Strength to go tho- 

 rough with their Battles, aqd a Death Blow en- 

 tail'd upon the Family. . The original Cock, 

 caird by the Name of the Old Duck-wing, he 

 had from Smith of Teter borough, which 

 muft be allowed by all that knew him, to be as 

 fine a Cock as England ever bred : He fought 

 four Years together at Lincoln^ Horfe Races, be- 

 fides other Times ; and in the eighth Year of his 

 Age, almoft blind, and gouty footed, he beat a 

 fine, frelh Cock, in few Blows ; and what was 

 very remarkable in him, he never fought with- 

 out either breaking or bending Sfflifb's Weapons
