Of the Harrier ^»^ Terrier. 



TH« Hanier in Latine is called Leverarius^ or Sagax > 

 by the Greeks, Ichncuten^ of tracing or chafing by 

 the Foot. 



Nature hath endewed rhis Creature with an admi- 

 rable gift of Smelling, and is bold and courageous in the 

 purfuit of his Game. There are feveral forts of them, 

 and all differ in their Services *. fome are for the Harc^ 

 the Fox^ the lf^olf\ the Hart^ the Buck, the Badger^ the 

 Otter^ the Polecat, the IFcjJle^ the Coney^ &c. fome for 

 one thing, fome for another. 



As for the Coney ^ we ufe not to hunt, but take it 

 fomctimes with a Net, fometimes with a Ferrety and 

 fometimes with a Lurcher or Tumbler. Among the fe- 

 veral forts oi Haniers^ there are fome which are apt to 

 hunt two divers Bearts, as the Fox fometimes, and other- 

 whiles the Hare ■■, but they hunt not with that good 

 fuccefs and towardnefs, who flick not to one fort of 

 Game. 



The 'terrier hunteth the Fox and the Badger or Grey 

 onely : And they are called Terriers , becaufe they 

 ( after the manner and cutiom of Ferrets in (earching 

 for Corny s ) creep into the ground, and by that 

 means affright, nip, and bite the Fox and the Badger^ 

 in fuch fort, that either they tear them in pieces with 

 their Teeth , (being in the bofome of the Earth) or 

 elfe hale and pull them by force out of their lurking 

 Angles, dark Dungeons , and clofe Caves i or at the 

 leait, through conceived fear, drive them out of thciy 

 hollow Havbours, infomuch, if they are not taken by 

 Wet orothcrwifc, they are compelled to prepare for 



flight,
