to_o the_o high_a benefit_n of_o all_o they_o that_o be_v diligent_a student_n in_o this_o part_n of_o god_n creation_n of_o the_o buff_n abuffe_n be_v call_v in_o greek_a tarandos_fw-mi and_o in_o

in_o common_a with_o a_o buff_n yet_o my_o reason_n why_o the_o polonian_a tur_o can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o buff_n be_v because_o the_o head_n and_o mouth_n differ_v from_o those_o beast_n

whereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o ancient_n do_v confound_v a_o buff_n with_o a_o elk_n and_o a_o rangifer_n for_o in_o the_o description_n of_o a_o elk_n they_o vary_v divers_a time_n mistake_v

as_o well_o as_o in_o a_o elk._n the_o chief_a author_n of_o this_o opinion_n have_v be_v sir_n thomas_n eliot_n and_o georgius_n agricola_n with_o who_o i_o will_v not_o contend_v nor_o with_o any_o other_o man_n that_o can_v give_v better_a reason_n for_o pliny_n make_v a_o buff_n to_o be_v a_o beast_n proportion_v betwixt_o a_o hart_n and_o a_o ox_n of_o which_o sort_n be_v not_o a_o rangifer_n as_o shall_v be_v manifest_v and_o if_o it_o be_v yet_o can_v it_o never_o appear_v that_o a_o rangifer_n do_v change_v colour_n like_o a_o buff_n as_o also_o we_o will_v make_v more_o evident_a so_o then_o distinguish_v a_o buff_n from_o a_o rangifer_n and_o presume_v that_o the_o poloman_n thuro_n or_o tur_o be_v a_o buff_n we_o will_v proceed_v to_o his_o description_n the_o head_n of_o this_o beast_n be_v like_o the_o head_n of_o a_o hart_n and_o his_o horn_n branch_v or_o ragged_a his_o body_n for_o colour_n the_o most_o part_n like_o a_o wild_a ox_n his_o hair_n deep_a and_o harsh_a like_o a_o bear_n his_o hide_n
be_v so_o hard_a and_o thick_a that_o of_o it_o the_o scythian_n make_v breastplate_n which_o no_o dart_n can_v pierce_v through_o his_o colour_n for_o the_o most_o part_n like_o a_o ass_n but_o when_o he_o be_v hunt_v or_o fear_v he_o change_v his_o hue_n into_o whatsoever_o thing_n he_o see_v as_o among_o tree_n he_o be_v like_o they_o among_o green_a bough_n he_o seem_v green_a among_o

because_o we_o see_v that_o the_o face_n of_o man_n and_o beast_n through_o fear_n joy_n anger_n and_o other_o passion_n do_v quick_o change_v from_o ruddy_a to_o white_a from_o black_a to_o pale_a and_o from_o pale_a to_o ruddy_a again_o now_o as_o this_o beast_n have_v the_o head_n of_o a_o hart_n so_o also_o have_v it_o the_o fear_n of_o a_o hart_n but_o in_o a_o high_a degree_n and_o therefore_o by_o secret_a operation_n it_o may_v easy_o alter_v the_o colour_n of_o their_o hair_n as_o a_o passion_n in_o a_o reasonable_a man_n may_v alter_v the_o colour_n of_o his_o face_n the_o

creature_n cover_v with_o hair_n that_o change_v colour_n another_o reason_n force_v i_o to_o yield_v hereunto_o be_v that_o in_o the_o sea_n a_o polypus-fish_n and_o in_o the_o earth_n among_o creep_a thing_n a_o chamaeleon_n do_v also_o change_v their_o colour_n in_o like_a sort_n and_o fashion_n whereunto_o it_o may_v be_v reply_v that_o the_o chamaeleon_n and_o polypus-fish_n be_v peel_v or_o bare_a without_o hair_n and_o therefore_o may_v more_o easy_o be_v verse-coloured_n but_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n impossible_a in_o nature_n for_o the_o hair_n to_o receive_v any_o tincture_n from_o the_o passion_n but_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o same_o nature_n can_v multiply_v and_o diminish_v her_o power_n in_o lesser_a and_o small_a beast_n according_a to_o her_o pleasure_n and_o reserve_v a_o operation_n for_o the_o nail_n and_o feather_n of_o bird_n and_o fin_n and_o scale_n of_o fish_n make_v one_o sort_n of_o divers_a colour_n from_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o may_v and_o do_v as_o forcible_o work_v in_o the_o hair_n of_o a_o buff_n as_o in_o the_o skin_n of_o a_o chamaeleon_n add_v so_o much_o more_o force_n to_o transmute_v they_o by_o how_o much_o far_o off_o they_o stand_v from_o the_o blood_n like_a as_o a_o archer_n which_o set_v his_o arm_n and_o bow_v high_a to_o shoot_v far_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v worthy_a observation_n that_o as_o this_o

behove_v therefore_o the_o hunter_n of_o boar_n to_o be_v very_o wary_a and_o therefore_o the_o ancient_n ordain_v that_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v wear_v a_o rough_a garment_n of_o a_o brown_a

with_o a_o very_a strong_a head_n and_o skin_n and_o beside_o they_o cover_v themselves_o with_o dry_a dirt_n as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o coat_n of_o male_a to_o blunt_v the_o weapon_n and_o therefore_o he_o run_v willing_o either_o without_o dread_n or_o fear_v upon_o the_o hunter_n in_o which_o encounter_n if_o he_o receive_v not_o a_o deadly_a wound_n he_o overthrow_v his_o adversary_n except_o he_o fall_v flat_a on_o the_o ground_n for_o the_o boar_n tooth_n can_v cut_v upward_o but_o downward_o therefore_o if_o the_o hunter_n be_v a_o footman_n he_o must_v seat_v himself_o near_o some_o tree_n and_o then_o also_o provide_v that_o if_o he_o miss_v the_o boar_n he_o may_v easy_o climb_v into_o the_o buy_a and_o so_o save_v himself_o but_o if_o the_o swine_n that_o be_v raise_v be_v a_o female_a she_o will_v all_o to_o tear_v and_o bite_v the_o hunter_n with_o her_o tooth_n if_o she_o get_v he_o within_o her_o clatche_n wherefore_o for_o the_o more_o speedy_a end_n of_o the_o hunt_n
