Englijhe Dogges. 



Both which kyndes are tearmed of the Latines by one common name 

 that is, Canes Venatici, hunting dogges. But because we Englishe men 

 make a difference betweene hunting and fowleing, for that they are 

 called by these seurall wordes, Venatio 8f Aucupium, so they tearme 

 the Dogges whom they vse in these sundry games by diners names, as 

 those which serue for the beast, are called Venatici, the other which are 

 Tsed for the fowle are called Aucupatorij.

 Sagax, the Gredems by thys word ix^tunu of tracing or chasing by y 

 foote, or ilvuXxTw of the nostrells, which be the instrumentes of 

 smelling. Wee may knowe these kinde of Dogges by their long, 

 large, and bagging lippes, by their hanging eares, reachj-ng downe 

 both sydes of their chappes, and by the indifferent and measurable 

 proportion of their making. This sort of Dogges we call Leuararios 

 Hariers, that I may comprise the whole nuber of them in certaine 

 specialties, and apply to them their proper and peculier names, for 

 so much as they cannot all be reduced and brought vnder one
