44 A treat if e of 



simple words, that is of Turne which in Latine soundeth Vertere, and of 

 spefe yrhich. is Teru, or spede for' the Englishe word inclineth closer to 

 the Italian imitation : Yeruv.ersator, Turnspet. He is called also VYanpe, 

 of the naturall noise of his voyce FT'an, which he maketh in barcking. 

 But for the better and the redyer sounde, the vowell, u, is channged 

 into the cosonant, p, so y for waupe we say wappe. And yet I wot well 

 that Nonius boroweth his Bauhari of the natural voyce Bau, as the 

 Grcecians doe their [iol^nv of wau. 



Now when yon vnderstand this that SaUare in Latine signifieth 

 Bansare in Englishe. And that our dogge therevpon is called a dannser 

 and in the Latine Saltator, you are so farre taught as you were desirous 

 to learne, and now suppose I, there rematneth nothing, but that your 

 request is fully accomplished. 



The \\iading \p of tliis worke, called the Supplement, &c. 



THus (friend Gesner) you haue, not only the kindes of our countrey 

 dogges, but their names also, as well in latine as in Englishe, 

 their offices, seruices, diuersities, natures properties, that you can 

 demaunde no more of me in this matter. And albeit I haue not 

 satisfied your minde peradueture (who suspecteth al speede in the per- 

 formaunce of your requeste employed, to be meere delayes) because I 

 stayde the setting fourth of that vmperfect pamphlet which, fine yeares 

 ago, I sent to you as a priuate friende for your own reeding, and not to 

 be printed, and so made common, yet I hope (hauing like the beare lickt 

 ouer my younge) I haue waded in this worke to your contentation, which 

 delay hath made somewhat better and liuriocci (p^otri^s;, after witte more 

 meete to be perused.
