T His Dog is little beholding in Hunting to his Nofe 

 or Snielling, but to iharpnefs of Sight altogether, 

 by the vcrtue whereof it makes excellent fport with the 

 fox and Hare, 



This Dog will chufe and fcparate from amongfl a 

 great Flock or Herd, and fuch a one will it take by 

 eledion , as is not lank or lean , but full, far, and 

 round. 



If a Beaft be wounded and go adray, this Dog will 

 fcek after it by the Ikadfallnefs of the Eye ; if it hap^ 

 pen to return, and be mingled with the tefidue of the 

 Herd, this Dog will foon fpy it out, leaving the 

 relt untouched : and after he hath fet fure light upon 

 it, he feparateth it from the company \ and having 

 fo done , never ceafeth till he hath wearied it to 

 death. 



This Dog is called in Latine ^gafeiis, becaufe the 

 beams of the Sight are fo ftedfallly fetled , and un- 

 movcably faltned. Thefe Dogs are much ufed in the 

 Northern part? of England, much more than in the 

 Southern \ and on Champion ground rather than in 

 bulhy and woody places : Horfemen ufe them more than 

 Footmen. 



If it happen fo at any time that this Dog take a wrong 

 way, the Mafter making fome ufual fignc, and familiar 

 token, he returneth forthwith, and taketh the right 

 and ready courfe, beginning his Ghafeafrefh, and wirh 

 a clear Voice, and a fwift Foot, followeth the Game 

 with as much courage and nimblenefs as he did at tlie 

 Hrlf.
