Seene and allowed.; De canibus Britannicis. Part 1. English	Caius, John, 1510-1573.; Fleming, Abraham, 1552?-1607.	1576 (1576)	STC 4347; ESTC S113247	32,086	62

replenished and whē they haue fed themselues full of fleshe then returne they to the water from whence they came But albeit so much be graunted that this Beauer is a dogge yet it is to be noted that we recken it not in the beadrowe of Englishe dogges as we haue done the rest The sea Calfe in like maner which our country mē for brenitie sake call a Séele other more largely name a Sea Vele maketh a spoyle of fishes betwéene rockes and banckes but it is not accounted in the catalogue or nūber of our Englishe dogges notwithstanding we call it by the name of a Sea dogge or a sea Calfe And thus much for our dogges of the second sort called in Latine Aucupatorij seruing to take fowle either by land or water ¶ A Diall pertaining to the second Section Dogges seruing the disport of fowling● are diuided into Land spaniele Setters called in latine Canes Aucupatorij Water spaniels or finders called in latine Canes Aucupatorij The fisher is not of their number but seuerall The thirde Section of this abridgement NOwe followeth in due order and conuenient place our Englishe Dogges of the thirde gentle kinde what they are called to what vse they serue and what sort of people plant their pleasure in thē which because they néede no curious canuastings and nye syfting wee meane to bee so much the briefer Of the delicate neate and pretty kind of dogges called the Spaniel gentle or the comforter in Latine Melitaeus or Fotor THere is besides those which wée haue already deliuered another sort of gentle dogges in this our Englishe soyle but exempted from the order of the residue the Dogges of this kinde doth Callimachus call Melitaeos of the Iseland Melita in the sea of Sicily which at this day is named Malta an Iseland in deede famous and reno●med with couragious aud puisaunt souldiours valliauntly lighting vnder the banner of Christ their vnconquerable captain● where this kind of dogges had their principall beginning These dogges are litle pre●ty proper and fyne and sought for to satisfie the delicatenesse of daintie dames and wanton womens wills instrumentes of folly for them to play and dally withall to try●●e away the treasure of time to withdraw their mindes from more commendable exercises and to content their corrupted concupiscences with vaine disport A selly shift to shunne yrcksome ydlnesse These puppies the smaller they be the more pleasure they prouoke as more méete play fellowes for minsing mistrisses to beare in their bosoms to kéepe company withal in their chambers to succour with sléepe in bed and nourishe with meate at bourde to lay in their lappes and licke their lippes as they ryde in their waggons and good reason it should be so for coursnesse with fynenesse hath no fellowship but featnesse with neatenesse hath neighbourhood enough That plausible prouerbe verified vpon a Tyraunt namely that he loued his sowe better then his sonne may well be applyed to these kinde of people who delight more in dogges that are depriued of all possibility of reason then they doe in children that be capeable of wisedome and iudgement But this abuse peraduenture raigneth where there hath bene long lacke of issue or elsewhere barrennes is the best blossome of bewty The vertue which remaineth in the Spainell gentle otherwise called the comforter NOtwithstanding many make much of those pretty puppies called Spaniels gentle yet if the question were demaunded what propertie in them they saye which shoulde make them so acceptable and precious in their sight I doubt their aunswere would be long a coyning But seeing it was our intent to trauaile in this treatise so that the reader might reape some benefite by his reading we will communicate vnto you such coniectures as are grounded vpon reason And though some suppose that such dogges are fyt for no seruice I dare say by their leaues they be in a wrong boxe Among all other qualities therfore of nature which be knowne for some conditions are couered with continuall and thicke clouds that the eye of our capacities can not pearse through thē we find that these litle dogs are good to asswage the sicknesse of the stomacke being oftentimes thervnto applyed as a plaster preseruatiue or borne in the bosom of the diseased and weake person which effect is performed by theyr moderate heate Moreouer the disease and sicknesse chaungeth his place and entreth though it be not precisely marcked into the dogge which to be no vntruth experience can testify for these kinde of dogges sometimes fall sicke and somtime die without any harme outwardly inforced which is an argument that the disease of the gentleman or gentlewoman or owner whatsoeuer entreth into the dogge by the operation of heate intermingled and infected And thus haue I hetherto handled dogges of a gentle kinde whom I haue comprehended in a triple diuisiō Now it remaineth that I annex in due order such dogges as be of a more homely kinde A Diall pertaining to the thirde Section In the third section is cōtained one kind of dog which is called the Spaniell gentle or the cōforter It is also called A chamber cōpanion generally called Canie delicatus A pleasaunt play fellow generally called Canie delicatus A pretty worme generally called Canie delicatus The fourth Section of this discourse Dogges of a course kind seruing for many necessary vses called in Latine Canes rustici and first of the shepherds dogge called in Latine Canis Pastoralis Dogges of the courser sort are These two are the principall The shepherds dogge The mastiue or Bandogge THe first kinde namely the shepherds hounde is very necessarye and profitable for the auoyding of harmes and inconueniences which may come to men by the meanes of beastes The second sort serue to succour against the snares and attemptes of mischiefous men Our shepherdes dogge is not huge vaste and bigge but of an indifferent stature and growth because it hath not to deale with the bloudthyrsty wolf sythence there be none in England which happy and fortunate benefite is to be ascribed to the puisaunt Prince Edgar who to thintent that the whole countrey myght be euacuated and quite cleered from wolfes charged commaunded the welshemē who were pestered with these butcherly beastes aboue measure to paye him yearely tribute which was n●te the wisedome of the King thrée hundred Wolfes Some there be which write that Ludwall Prince of Wales paide yéerely to King Edgar three hundred wolfes in the name of an exaction as we haue sayd before And that by the meanes hereof within the compasse and tearme of foure yeares none of those noysome and pestilent Beastes were left in the coastes of England and Wales This Edgar wore the Crowne royall and bare the Scepter imperiall of this kingdome about the yeere of our Lorde nyne hundred fifty nyne Synce which time we réede that no Wolfe hath bene seene in England bred within the bounds and borders of this countrey mary there haue bene diuers brought ouer from
