8o The hooke of Hunting 



haue 4 boye with him, he may leaue his hounde with the boye, 



and place him fomewhere that he may quickly finde him againe 



if he haue neede of him : then let him go to his tree whiche he 



marked ouer night, and let him get vp into it, lookyng into the 



fpring, and if he efpie an Harte whiche like him, then lette him 



marke what head he beareth, and let him not fturre from thence 



untill he fee him go to herbrough. Afterwardes when he feeth 



that he is in the thicke, he muft marke the place whereaboutes he 



entred, by fome little pretie tree or fuche like thing, that beyng 



done he ftiall come downe and go fetche his hounde : but here he 



fliall marke one fecrete: that he go not aboute to herbor an 



Harte an houre at leaft after he fee him go to layre, bycaufe fom- 



times an Harte goeth to layre, at the bordure of the thicket, or 



els will come backe thither to harken or fee if any thing there be 



whiche might. anoy them, as I haue fayde before : and therefore 



the Huntefman fliould not go fo foone. And furdermore if 



in cafting aboute the couert, he heare eyther Pies, layes, or 



fuch birds wondering, then let him withdraw him and itand 



clofe, for that is a token that the Harte is yet on foote, and 



then let him flay halfe an houre longer before he make his 



ringwalke. And when he hath wel and furely herbored 



him, he may go backe to the aflembly and make 



reporte thereof, and defcyfer the Hartes head 



which he hath feene, with all other good 



markes and tokens. And if he haue 



taken vp any of the fewmet, 



he fhoulde put them in 



his home and bryng 



them alfo to the 



aflembly.
