6. Heis as obedient as he is conlfant or faith- 
ful ; he will learn to do any thing, he will go into 
the Shambles, and fetch meat, pluck hairs off from 
ones head, &c. Plutarch hith, that in a Comedy 
a£fed at Rome^hQ faw a that feigned his /lla- 
Ber had poyfoned him, and as foon as he had ta- 
ken it, all his body would lhake and tremble, but 
that would abate by degrees, and at laft would 
ftretch himfelf, and never move at all ; his Ma- ! 
tter cometh to him, and biddeth him rife, he then i 
hearing him ftirreth one part, and then another, ' 
untill at laft he came to himfelf again ; all which 
he did fo cunningly, that Cafar and all the reft of 
the Speftators were moved with no lefs laughter 
than admiration ; not long after that he would 
draw himfelf up altogether, as if he were going 
to dye, and would lye without any motion at all, 
fuffering himfelf to be dragged out by the heels, 
as if he had been dead ; but in a little while after 
he recovered himfelf again, to the admiration of 
the Spectators; when he is hunting, or at any other 
time he will come at his Mafters call, although he 
hath a good prey before him ; he hath a greater' 
refpeCl: for his Mafter than for himfelf , his actions 
are all for the good of his Mafter *, when he is hun- 
ting, he will bring the prey to his Mafter, and he 
himfelf is content witirthe bones, nay, is content 
without them, if his Mafter will not give them 
him*
