1 04 The hoohe of Hunting 



came with him. And if he perceiue that they were choyfe hounds 

 and fuche as will not hunt chaunge, then ought he to blowe as 

 loude as he can for other hounds, and to call in helpe. And if one 

 come in, then let him fbllowe the houndes which mainteined the 

 chace, and vncouple his houndes of relay, blowing and hallow- 

 ing all the way as he goeth, and blemifliing againft or ouer the 

 Slot or viewe of the Deare. 



A huntefman on horfebacke fhoulde be circumfpede in thefe 



things, for fometimes fome freflie Deare may rowze before the 



houndes vpon a fodeine, by reafon of the noyfe of the houndes 



and huntfmen, the which may be a great hurt : and peraduenture 



fliall feeme to be emboft aifo, efpecialiy when Deare are in pride 



of greace : But if he perceiue that the fure houndes of the kennell 



hunt it not, and that he heare not them come after in ful cry, 



then ought he not to cafb of his relayes, but only to marke 



which way he fleeth, and to blemifh at the laft thicket where 



he fawe him enter, or at the laft place where he had him in 



viewe, to the endethat if he heare the houndes at default, he 



may go and tell them that the Hart which pafTed by his 



relay, was fallowe, browne, or according as he fawe 



him, and that he bare fuch and fuch a heade, 



&:c. And thereby they may iudge and 



gefle, whether it were the cafFt Deare 



or not, and may goe to feeke 



him againe, beginning 



then at the blemiflies 



which he made 



vpon his laft 



viewe.
