i8o The hooke of Hunting 



accoumpte ferrettyng one of the coldeft and vnpleafanteft chaces 

 that can be followed. Yet thus muche I haue thought meete to 

 write of it, following mine Audhor : and bicause in deede it fee- 

 meth to be a kinde of Venerie, at the leaft he that hath a good 

 warreyne of Conies, a good Douehoufe, and good fifhepondes, 

 fhall neede the leflTe to go into the Foreft or Chafe for Beefe or 

 Bacon, for thefe three are good neighbours. 



Of the hunting of the Foxe and 

 Badgerd. Chap. 6 s 



NOw to fpeake of Fox houndes and Terryers, and how you 

 Ihould enter them to take the Foxe, the Badgerd, and fuche 

 like vermine : you mufte vnderftand that there are fundrie fortes 

 of Terriers, whereof wee hold opinion that one forte came out 

 of Flaunders or the low Countries, as Artoys and thereabouts, 

 and they haue crooked legges, and are fhorte heared mofte com- 

 monly. Another forte there is which are fhagged and ftreight 

 legged : thofe with the crooked legges will take earth better 

 than the other, and are better for the Badgerd, bycaufe they 

 will lye longer at a vermine: but the others with ftreyght 

 legges do ferue for twoo purpofes, for they wyll Hunte a- 

 boue the grounde afwell as other houndes, and enter the 

 earthe with more furie than the others: but they will not 



abide
