Of the nature and properties of a Foxe 

 and a Badgerd. Chap. 66 



185 



AS you haue two kyndes or more of euery other chace by di- 

 jf\.uer{itie of names : fo of thefe vermyne there are Foxes and 

 theyr Cubbes, and Badgerdes and theyr Pigges : the female 

 of a Foxe is called a Bitche, and he himfelfe a Doggefoxe : 

 the Female of a Badgerde is called a Sowe, and the male 

 a Badgerde or a Borepygge of a Badgerde. Yet fome will 

 not alio we this difference : but I can prooue it by good rea- 

 fon and by the diuerfities of colour, nature, and proportion.
