when he runneth into a Warjcen, ox fetcheth a courfe 

 about a Coney -hptou^h^ he hunts not after them, he 

 no ways affrights them., he (hews no fpight againft 

 them i but diffcmbring friendQiip, and pretending fa- 

 vour, piiTeth by with filence and quietncfs, marking 

 their Holes diligently, wherein he feldom is deceived. 

 When he cometh to a place where there is a certainty
