wolf_n where_o store_n be_v do_v follow_v one_o she_o wolf_n even_o as_o dog_n follow_v a_o bitch_n but_o she_o will_v never_o be_v line_v but_o only_o with_o one_o she_o will_v suffer_v many_o to_o follow_v she_o and_o will_v carry_v they_o after_o she_o sometime_o eight_o or_o ten_o day_n without_o meat_n drink_n or_o rest_n and_o when_o they_o be_v overweary_v than_o she_o suffer_v they_o all_o to_o take_v their_o ease_n until_o they_o rout_n and_o be_v fast_o on_o sleep_n &_o then_o will_v she_o awake_v the_o wolf_n which_o seem_v most_o to_o have_v follow_v she_o and_o that_o oftentimes_o be_v the_o foul_a &_o worst_a favour_v because_o he_o be_v overweary_v and_o lank_a he_o will_v she_o awake_v and_o tyce_v he_o away_o with_o she_o far_o from_o the_o rest_n and_o suffer_v he_o to_o line_v she_o there_o be_v a_o common_a proverb_n which_o say_v that_o never_o wolf_n yet_o see_v his_o sire_n for_o indeed_o it_o happen_v most_o common_o that_o when_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o wolf_n do_v awake_a and_o miss_v the_o female_a they_o follow_v they_o by_o the_o send_v and_o find_v they_o oftentimes_o together_o they_o fall_v upon_o that_o wolf_n and_o kill_v he_o for_o despite_n but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o great_a store_n than_o one_o dog_n wolf_n and_o one_o bitch_n in_o a_o place_n than_o this_o proverb_n fail_v yea_o or_o sometime_o also_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o wolf_n be_v so_o long_o ere_o they_o do_v awake_a and_o follow_v that_o they_o can_v so_o quick_o dispatch_v or_o kill_v he_o according_a to_o their_o desire_n and_o then_o also_o it_o fail_v their_o whelp_n be_v able_a to_o engender_v within_o twelve_o month_n &_o when_o their_o whelp_n be_v a_o year_n old_a than_o they_o part_v from_o their_o sire_n &_o from_o their_o dam_n yea_o sometime_o soon_o but_o not_o before_o their_o tooth_n be_v cast_v &_o shoot_v out_o again_o for_o they_o cast_v tooth_n first_o when_o they_o be_v half_a year_n old_a &_o when_o they_o be_v come_v up_o again_o they_o never_o cast_v more_o all_o their_o life_n time_n then_o they_o depart_v from_o their_o dam_n when_o those_o tooth_n be_v come_v out_o again_o &_o grow_v hard_o &_o they_o seek_v their_o adventure_n &_o pray_v for_o then self_o &_o if_o they_o chance_v to_o meet_v their_o sire_n or_o dam_n at_o any_o time_n after_o they_o will_v fawn_v upon_o they_o &_o lick_v they_o &_o seem_v in_o their_o kind_n great_o to_o rejoice_v a_o good_a example_n for_o sundry_a evil_a dispose_v child_n which_o become_v ungrateful_a to_o their_o parent_n which_o bring_v they_o up_o careful_o since_o the_o brute_n beast_n can_v teach_v they_o their_o duty_n only_o by_o you_o instinct_n &_o motion_n of_o nature_n also_o when_o a_o dog_n &_o a_o bitch_n of_o they_o do_v company_n once_o together_o they_o will_v not_o light_o part_v in_o sunder_o for_o though_o they_o pray_v in_o diverse_a place_n yet_o at_o night_n they_o will_v meet_v again_o or_o at_o the_o lest_o once_o in_o two_o day_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a and_o they_o bear_v meat_n unto_o their_o whelp_n together_o but_o the_o dog_n will_v first_o eat_v his_o fill_n and_o then_o carry_v the_o rest_n unto_o his_o whelp_n but_o the_o bitch_n bear_v the_o prey_n unto_o her_o whelp_n before_o she_o eat_v any_o thereof_o herself_o and_o if_o the_o dog_n like_o it_o and_o have_v not_o satisfy_v his_o hunger_n before_o he_o will_v take_v it_o both_o from_o she_o and_o the_o whelp_n and_o feed_v his_o fill_n thereon_o first_o after_o he_o will_v leave_v the_o rest_n for_o they_o to_o feed_v on_o if_o there_o be_v any_o and_o if_o there_o be_v not_o let_v they_o starve_v for_o he_o if_o they_o will_v so_o that_o he_o make_v not_o account_n of_o any_o thing_n until_o his_o belly_n be_v full_a but_o the_o bitch_n do_v oftentimes_o beguile_v he_o she_o leave_v the_o prey_n far_o from_o their_o den_n and_o if_o she_o perceive_v that_o the_o dog_n be_v go_v then_o bring_v she_o it_o to_o her_o whelp_n but_o if_o the_o dog_n be_v there_o &_o perceive_v that_o she_o have_v bring_v nothing_o he_o smell_v to_o her_o mouth_n &_o her_o lip_n if_o she_o have_v nothing_o in_o deed_n than_o he_o beat_v she_o but_o if_o he_o smell_v by_o she_o that_o she_o have_v pray_v he_o constrain_v she_o to_o show_v it_o unto_o he_o or_o else_o hunt_v back_o himself_o by_o the_o counter_a of_o her_o foot_n and_o so_o find_v it_o out_o some_o hold_n opinion_n that_o the_o bitch_n wash_v herself_o all_o over_o because_o the_o dog_n shall_v not_o smell_v whether_o she_o have_v pray_v or_o not_o but_o that_o i_o dare_v not_o swear_v on_o a_o book_n some_o heavy_a wolf_n will_v never_o help_v their_o bitch_n to_o feed_v their_o whelp_n but_o if_o it_o be_v in_o a_o place_n where_o there_o be_v no_o store_n of_o wolf_n as_o no_o more_o but_o he_o and_o his_o make_n than_o he_o know_v by_o the_o smell_n that_o the_o whelp_n be_v he_o and_o help_v the_o bitch_n to_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o to_o feed_v they_o but_o uncurtuous_o as_o i_o say_v before_o wolf_n be_v fat_a when_o they_o have_v small_a whelp_n for_o they_o feed_v not_o only_o upon_o their_o own_o provision_n but_o also_o upon_o that_o which_o their_o make_n &_o their_o whelp_n shall_v eat_v also_o they_o go_v nine_o week_n with_o whelp_n and_o sometime_o three_o or_o four_o day_n long_o &_o go_v salt_n but_o once_o in_o a_o year_n some_o hold_n opinion_n that_o a_o bitch_n will_v not_o have_v young_a whelp_n nor_o engender_v as_o long_o as_o her_o own_o dame_n be_v alive_a they_o have_v whelp_n in_o all_o respect_n like_v unto_o our_o dog_n sometime_o more_o &_o sometime_o less_o for_o doubtless_o both_o the_o fox_n &_o the_o wolf_n be_v but_o a_o kind_n of_o wild_a mastyfe_n and_o wild_a cur_n they_o be_v of_o great_a force_n especial_o in_o their_o forepart_n they_o bite_v sore_o and_o dangerous_o for_o sometime_o they_o will_v kill_v a_o cow_n or_o a_o bullock_n and_o they_o will_v round_o carry_v a_o sheep_n a_o goat_n or_o a_o good_a porkine_n in_o their_o mouth_n &_o never_o touch_v the_o ground_n with_o it_o &_o will_v run_v so_o fast_o away_o with_o it_o that_o unless_o horseman_n or_o mastiff_n dog_n do_v stay_v they_o they_o will_v hardly_o be_v overtake_v either_o by_o the_o herdsman_n or_o by_o a_o other_o creature_n they_o pray_v upon_o all_o kind_n of_o thing_n and_o will_v feed_v upon_o any_o carrion_n or_o any_o vermin_n they_o live_v not_o long_a nor_o above_o xij_o or_o fourteen_o year_n at_o most_o when_o he_o have_v feed_v upon_o any_o vermin_n or_o serpent_n as_o he_o do_v often_o then_o run_v he_o wonderful_o fast_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o i_o have_v see_v a_o wolf_n be_v empty_a outrun_v four_o or_o five_o brace_n of_o the_o best_a greyhound_n that_o may_v be_v find_v for_o there_o be_v no_o beast_n which_o run_v fast_o than_o he_o and_o he_o hold_v marvellous_o also_o when_o he_o be_v hunt_v with_o hound_n he_o fly_v not_o far_o before_o they_o and_o unless_o he_o be_v course_v with_o greyhound_n or_o mastiff_n he_o keep_v the_o covert_n like_o a_o boar_n or_o a_o bear_n &_o especial_o the_o beat_a way_n therein_o most_o common_o he_o pray_v by_o night_n but_o sometime_o also_o by_o day_n when_o he_o be_v hungry_a some_o wolf_n will_v pray_v upon_o dear_a goat_n and_o swine_n and_o send_v as_o fresh_o and_o as_o tender_o as_o a_o hound_n some_o also_o will_v eat_v a_o dog_n if_o they_o catch_v he_o and_o foam_n of_o they_o kill_v child_n and_o man_n sometime_o &_o then_o they_o never_o feed_v nor_o pray_v upon_o any_o other_o thing_n afterward_o when_o they_o have_v once_o be_v flesh_v &_o nuzzle_v therein_o but_o die_v sometime_o for_o hunger_n such_o wolf_n be_v call_v warwolue_n because_o a_o man_n have_v need_v to_o beware_v of_o they_o they_o be_v so_o crafty_a that_o when_o they_o assail_v a_o man_n they_o flee_v upon_o he_o &_o lay_v hold_v on_o he_o before_o he_o perceive_v they_o but_o if_o he_o perceive_v they_o first_o than_o they_o assail_v he_o so_o subtle_o that_o he_o shall_v hardly_o escape_v their_o tooth_n and_o can_v marvellous_o defend_v themselves_o from_o any_o weapon_n that_o a_o man_n have_v for_o his_o defence_n there_o be_v two_o cause_n which_o make_v they_o fetch_v upon_o mankind_n one_o be_v that_o when_o they_o be_v old_a &_o feeble_a &_o that_o their_o tooth_n begin_v to_o fail_v they_o then_o can_v they_o not_o carry_v their_o prey_n as_o they_o be_v wont_v so_o that_o they_o learn_v with_o more_o ease_n to_o pray_v first_o upon_o child_n which_o they_o meet_v or_o espy_v which_o pray_v can_v neither_o make_v resistan●…e_n nor_o be_v needful_a to_o
