A13821	The historie of serpents. Or, The second booke of liuing creatures wherein is contained their diuine, naturall, and morall descriptions, with their liuely figures, names, conditions, kindes and natures of all venemous beasts: with their seuerall poysons and antidotes; their deepe hatred to mankind, and the wonderfull worke of God in their creation, and destruction. Necessary and profitable to all sorts of men: collected out of diuine scriptures, fathers, phylosophers, physitians, and poets: amplified with sundry accidentall histories, hierogliphicks, epigrams, emblems, and ænigmaticall obseruations.

so_o they_o may_v be_v both_o annoy_v at_o home_n and_o abroad_o i_o will_v therefore_o begin_v with_o the_o dog_n who_o be_v a_o notable_a enemy_n to_o the_o serpent_n as_o i_o myself_o have_v see_v many_o in_o england_n for_o he_o will_v earnest_o seek_v they_o out_o with_o nose_n and_o foot_n both_o in_o water_n dunghill_n and_o hedge_n and_o when_o he_o have_v find_v any_o one_o he_o will_v

snatch_v it_o up_o again_o and_o shake_v it_o about_o his_o ear_n as_o before_o and_o so_o never_o give_v over_o till_o it_o appear_v dead_a but_o they_o seldom_o kill_v they_o only_o they_o
