Englijhe Dogges. 41 



awrye and peniersly corrupted by diuers defaultes ? we wil declare at 

 large in our booke intituled, Simphonia vocum Britannicarwm. 

 Of the Tumbler. 

 Among houndes the Tumbler called in latine Vertagus, is the last, which 

 commeth of this worde Tumbler flowing first of al out of the French 

 fonntaine. For as we say Tumble so they Ttimbier, reseruing one sense 

 and signification, which the latinists comprehende vnder this worde 

 Vertere, So that we see thus much, that Tumbler commeth of Tumbier, 

 the vowel, I, chaunged into the Liquid L, after y'= manor of our speache, 

 Contrary to the French and the Italian tounge. In which two languages, 

 A Liquid before a Voicell for the most part is turned into another 

 Vowell, As, may be perceaued in the example of these two wordes, 

 Implere S( piano, for Imjnere <Sf piano, L, before, E chaunged into, I, 

 and L, before A, turned into I, also. This I thought conuenient for 

 a taste. 



The names of such Dogges as be contained in 

 the second Section. 



AFter such as serue for hunting orderly doe follow such as serue for 

 hawking and fowling. Among which the principal! and chiefest is 

 the Spaniell, called in Latine Hispaniolus, borrowing his name of 

 Hispania Spaine, wherein wee Englishe men not pronouncing the Aspira- 

 tion H, Nor the Vowell I, for quicknesse and redinesse of speach say 

 roundly A Spaniell. 



Of the Setter. 

 The second sorte of this second division and second section, is called a 

 Setter, in latine Index, Of the worde Set which signifieth in Englishe that 

 which the Latinistes meane by this word Locum designare, y^ reason is 

 rehersed before more largely, it shall not neede to make a new repeti- 

 tion.
