1 04 The hooie of Hunting 



came with him. And if he perceiue that they were choyfe hounds 

 and fuche as will not hunt chaunge, then ought he to blowe as 

 loude as he can for other hounds, and to call in helpe. And if one 

 come in, then let him fbllowe the hound es which mainteined the 

 chace, and vncouple his houndes of relay, blowing and hallow- 

 ing all the way as he goeth, and blemifhing againil or ouer the 

 Slot or viewe of the Deare. 



A huntefman on horfebacke fhoulde be circumfpede in thefe 

 things, for fometimes fome frefhe Deare may rowze before the 

 houndes vpon a fodeine, by reafon of the noyfe of the houndes 

 and huntfmen, the which may be a great hurt : and peraduenture 

 fhall feeme to be emboft alfo, efpecially when Deare are in pride 

 of greace : But if he perceiue that the fure houndes of the kennell 

 hunt it not, and that he heare not them come after in ful cry, 

 then ought he not to caft of his relayes, but only to marke 

 which way he fleeth, and to blemifh at the laft thicket where 

 he fawe him enter, or at the laft place where he had him in 

 viewe, to the ende that if he heare the houndes at default, he 

 may go and tell them that the Hart which pafled by his 

 relay, was fallowe, browne, or according as he fawe 

 him, and that he bare fuch and fuch a heade, 

 &c. And thereby they may iudge and 

 gefTe, whether it were the cafFt Deare 

 or not, and may goe to feeke 

 him againe, beginning 

 then at the blemiflies 

 which he made 

 vpon his laft 

 viewe.
