The boo he of Hunting I j 



we may coniedure that (by the grace of God) all good huntf- 

 men fliall follow them into Paradife. To returne vnto my 

 former purpofe, this kind of Dogges hath bin disperfed tho- 

 rough the Countries of Hennault^ Lorayne^ Flanders^ and Bur- 

 gonye^ they are mighty of body, neuerthelelTe, their legges are 

 lowe and fliort, likewiie they are not fwift, although they be 

 very good of fent, hunting chaces whiche are farre ftraggled, 

 fearing neyther water nor colde, and do more couet the cha- 

 ces that fmell, as Foxes, Bore, and fuche like, than other, by- 

 caufe they finde themfelues neyther of fwiftnefTe nor courage 

 to hunte and kill the chaces that are lighter and fwifter. The 

 Bloudhoundes of this colour prooue good, efpecially thofe that 

 are cole blacke, but I make no greate accompte to breede on 

 them, or to keepe the kinde, and yet I founde once a Booke 

 whiche a Hunter did dedicate to a Prince of Lorayne^ whiche 

 feemed to ]oue Hunting much, wherein was a bJafone which 

 the fame Hunter gaue to his Bloudhound called Soygllard^ 

 which was white. 



My name came firjl from holy Huberts Race 

 Soygllard my Sire^ a hound of jingtlar grace. 



Wherevpon we may prefume that fome of the kind proue 

 white fometimes, but they are not of the kind of the Grejfyers 

 or Bauxes which we haue at thefe dayes.
