A13820 The historie of foure-footed beastes Describing the true and liuely figure of euery beast, with a discourse of their seuerall names, conditions, kindes, vertues (both naturall and medicinall) countries of their breed, their loue and hate to mankinde, and the wonderfull worke of God in their creation, preseruation, and destruction. Necessary for all diuines and students, because the story of euery beast is amplified with narrations out of Scriptures, fathers, phylosophers, physitians, and poets: wherein are declared diuers hyerogliphicks, emblems, epigrams, and other good histories, collected out of all the volumes of Conradus Gesner, and all other writers to this present day.

use_v of_o clean_a beast_n for_o food_n and_o nourishment_n and_o therefore_o for_o the_o enrich_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o table_n of_o man_n it_o be_v necesary_a to_o know_v not_o only_o the_o
