you muft call a Singular^ ox Sanglkr^ that hath left the 

 founder four or five years fince. In making of a report, ifl 

 you are asked where the Boar fed the night before, youi 

 may fay, he fed in the corn •, but if in the fields or mea- 

 dows, you mutt then fay, he hath been routing and rvor- 

 ming in fuch a place, or fuch a fern-field. Where note, 

 that whatfoevcrhe feeds on, excepting roots, is called 

 feedings the other is called routings n> or ming^oi /earning:

EoU' Hunting with Hounds at Force, 



^z advifed not to hunt a young Boar of three years 

 old at force \ for he will Itand up as long, if not longer 

 than any light young Veer which beareth but three in the 

 top : but in the fourth year you may hunt him at force, 

 as you do a Hart at ten. 



In the rearing of your Boar^ you need not be afraid to 

 come near him, for he values you not, and will lie ftill, 

 and will not be rear'd by you alone. 



Here note , that if a Boar intends to abide in his 

 den, couch, or fort, then will he make fome croffing 

 or doubling at the entry thereof upon fome high-way 

 or beaten path v by fuch means a huntfman, bein^ 

 early in the woods, may judge of the fubtilty of the 

 Boar^ and accordingly may make preparations for his 

 game. 



If he be a great Boar , and one that hath lain long 

 to rcli:, let him hunt him with good fiore of hounds., 

 and fuch as will liick clofe to him i and let him on 

 horfc-back "be ever amongft them, charging the Boar^ 

 to difcouragc him : for if you hunt fuch a Boar with 

 half a dozen couple of dogs, he will not value them \ 

 and they having chafed him, he will take courage and 

 keep them lUll at bays, running upon any thing he 



feeth
