to keepe the houndes backe vntill they be all come about him. 

 And when they are all baying and calling on about him, let him 

 ftand from the rewarde, and fuffer the houndes to eate it. And 

 when they haue almofl eaten it vp, let him whiche holdeth the 

 Deares heade, hallowe and crye, Heere aga'ine boyes^ heere a-

 baye it: and when he hath drawne them al about him baying, he

 then kennell them vp. Confider that it Qiall be beft to kcnnell 

 them immediately, for elfe if they fliould runne about and tra-

 may go to drinke.

 proceede in the Frenche maner. But bycaufe I find it differente 

 from our order in fome poyntes, therefore I haue thought good 

 here to fet downe fuch obferuations of difference as I haue no- 

 ted therein, leaft the reader mighte be drawne in opinion, that 

 the errour proceeded only in my default. 



Firft where he appoynteth the Deares foote to be cutte off, 

 and to bee prefented to the Prince or chiefe, oure order is,
