in_o the_o end_n of_o october_n because_o of_o the_o winter_n and_o cold_n which_o then_o begin_v to_o reign_v and_o for_o that_o milk_n and_o other_o nouriture_n which_o be_v most_o meet_a for_o they_o do_v then_o begin_v to_o fail_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v then_o very_a hard_a if_o they_o be_v whelp_v in_o such_o season_n that_o they_o shall_v escape_v death_n for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o winter_n have_v overtake_v they_o before_o they_o have_v force_v to_o endure_v the_o cold_a and_o though_o they_o do_v escape_v yet_o will_v they_o be_v small_a and_o weak_a another_o unmeet_a season_n for_o whelp_n be_v in_o july_n and_o august_n because_o of_o the_o vehement_a heat_n and_o the_o fly_n flea_n and_o other_o vermin_n which_o then_o will_v torment_v they_o but_o the_o best_a season_n to_o have_v whelp_n be_v in_o march_n apryll_n and_o may_n when_o the_o time_n be_v temperate_a and_o the_o heat_n not_o over_o great_a also_o it_o be_v the_o right_a time_n which_o nature_n

therefore_o think_v good_a according_a to_o my_o fantasy_n to_o give_v understanding_n of_o mean_n how_o to_o preserve_v they_o first_o if_o they_o be_v whelp_v in_o winter_n you_o shall_v take_v a_o barrel_n or_o a_o pipe_n well_o dry_v and_o knock_v out_o the_o head_n at_o the_o one_o end_n thereof_o afterwards_o put_v straw_n therein_o and_o set_v it_o by_o a_o place_n where_o there_o be_v ordinary_o a_o good_a fire_n then_o turn_v the_o open_a end_n towards_o the_o fire_n to_o the_o end_n the_o whelp_n may_v have_v the_o air_n thereof_o and_o you_o shall_v feed_v the_o dam_n with_o good_a pottage_n or_o broth_n make_v with_o beef_n or_o mutton_n then_o when_o the_o whelp_n begin_v to_o lap_n you_o shall_v accustom_v they_o also_o unto_o pottage_n but_o such_o as_o have_v no_o salt_n therein_o because_o salt_n do_v make_v they_o dry_a and_o cause_v they_o to_o become_v maungie_a unto_o the_o which_o disease_n they_o be_v subject_a when_o they_o be_v whelp_v in_o winter_n also_o you_o shall_v put_v in_o their_o pottage_n much_o sage_a &_o other_o hot_a herb_n and_o if_o peradventure_o you_o see_v that_o their_o hair_n do_v fall_v you_o shall_v then_o anoint_v they_o with_o oil_n of_o walnut_n &_o honey_n mingle_v together_o &_o keep_v they_o in_o their_o tun_n or_o which_o as_o clean_o as_o you_o can_v and_o change_v their_o straw_n every_o day_n and_o when_o you_o perceive_v that_o they_o begin_v to_o go_v you_o shall_v have_v a_o net_n make_v of_o strong_a thread_n lace_v with_o a_o thong_n and_o fasm_v about_o the_o tun_n or_o pipe_n even_o as_o they_o cover_v a_o swysser_n drum_n so_o that_o you_o may_v keep_v they_o from_o go_v out_o and_o that_o other_o dog_n do_v not_o bite_v they_o or_o that_o they_o be_v tread_v upon_o or_o mar_v with_o man_n foot_n and_o you_o must_v make_v this_o pipe_n or_o ton_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o it_o may_v be_v open_v when_o you_o will._n and_o as_o touch_v other_o whelp_n which_o be_v breed_v in_o summer_n they_o must_v be_v put_v in_o some_o fresh_a place_n whether_o other_o dog_n come_v not_o ordinary_o and_o you_o shall_v lay_v under_o they_o some_o hardle_z or_o watle_a with_o straw_n thereupon_o lest_o the_o cold_a or_o moistness_n of_o the_o earth_n do_v annoy_v they_o and_o that_o straw_n must_v also_o be_v often_o change_v they_o ought_v also_o to_o be_v in_o some_o dark_a place_n because_o the_o fly_n shall_v so_o least_o annoy_v they_o and_o therewithal_o it_o shall_v be_v also_o good_a to_o anoint_v they_o twice_o a_o week_n with_o oil_n of_o nut_n mingle_a and_o beat_v with_o saffron_n bruise_a to_o powder_n for_o that_o ointment_n do_v kyil_v all_o sort_n of_o worm_n and_o recomforte_n the_o skin_n and_o the_o sinew_n of_o dog_n and_o keep_v they_o from_o bite_v of_o fly_n and_o punayse_n and_o sometime_o you_o must_v also_o anoint_v the_o bitch_n in_o like_a manner_n and_o put_v there_o to_o the_o iupce_n of_o berue_v or_o wild_a cresseys_n for_o fear_n lest_o she_o fill_v her_o whelp_n full_a of_o flea_n and_o forget_v not_o to_o nourish_v she_o with_o pottage_n as_o be_v before_o rehearse_v when_o the_o whelp_n shall_v be_v fifteen_o day_n old_a you_o must_v worm_n they_o and_o eight_o day_n after_o you_o may_v cut_v off_o one_o joint_n of_o their_o tail_n in_o such_o form_n and_o manner_n as_o i_o will_v prescribe_v hereafter_o in_o the_o

will_v do_v in_o may_n or_o in_o april_n because_o they_o be_v heavy_a then_o and_o can_v stand_v up_o so_o long_o then_o may_v you_o choose_v out_o a_o forest_n wherein_o the_o relay_n be_v of_o

you_o may_v give_v two_o couple_n of_o hound_n to_o lead_v in_o liame_n and_o when_o the_o hound_n have_v unlodged_a the_o heart_n they_o may_v go_v fair_a and_o soft_o and_o not_o weary_a their_o
