else other tokens as I have said before. And if 

 he see a hart that hath a well affeted (fashioned) 

 head after the height and the shape and the tines 

 well ranged by good measure, the one from the 

 other, and men ask him what he beareth he may 

 answer that he beareth a great head and fair of 

 beam, and of all his rights, and well opened ; and 

 if a man ask him what head he beareth, he shall 

 answer that he beareth a fair head by all tokens 

 and well grown. And if he see a hart that hath 

 a low head or a high, or a great, or a small, and 

 it be thick set, high and low and men ask him 

 what head he beareth he may answer he bears a 

 thick set head after his making, or that he hath 

 low or small or other manner whatever it be. 

 And if he see a hart that hath a diverse head, or 

 that antlers grow back or that the head hath 

 double beams or other diversities than other harts 

 commonly be wont to bear, and men ask what 

 head he bears, he may answer a diverse head or 

 a counterfeit (abnormal), for it is counterfeited. 

 And if he see a hart that beareth a high head that 

 is wide and thin tined with long beams, if men 

 ask what head he beareth, he shall answer a fair 

 head and wide, and long beams, but it is not 

 thick set neither well affeted. And if he see a 

 hart that hath a low and a great and a thick set 

 (head) and men ask what head he beareth, he 

 may say he beareth a fair head and well affeted.
