AlhaHoHtide is the chiefeft feafon for hunting thele 

 wild Goats^ obferving very well before you hunt, the- 

 advantages of the coalts, the rocks and places where the 

 Coats do lie. 



Having thus done, fet nets and toils toward the ri- 

 vers and bottoms , for you cannot expeft your hounds 

 Ihould follow a Goat down every place ot the moun- 

 tain?. 



Alfo it will be needful that fome ftand on the top of 

 the rocks, and throw down itones as they fee occailon. 

 Where the Goat goeth down to the fnnall brooks or wa- 

 ters in the bottom, there place your relays, and let the 

 relays never tarry till the hounds come in which were 

 call off: and this is your belt help i for a man can nei- 

 ther toilovv on foot nor horfe-back.
