his clarvjdieth. 2. His greedinefs and cruelty ap-^ 
peareth in this, when he goeth to feek his prey, he 
whetteth and fharpneth his teeth with the HSfh 
Origanum ; he can endure hunger for a long tife^ 
together, but afterwards he will eat very greedily, 
and fometimes too much, but he fpeedily digefteth
