LONDON Printed by J. C. for N. C. OF FISHING The Introduction ANGLING is an excellent Art which as it pleads great Antiquity so the knowledge thereof is with much difficulty to be obtained and indeed it bears some similitude to Poetry in this that as it is said Poeta nascitur non fit so ought the Piscator or Fisher-man to have a natural inclination unto the Art of Angling or his knowledge therein will be always dull and imperfect not but that it may be much heightned by practice and experience Now he that intends to be his Crafts-master in this harmless Pastime or Recreation must not onely diligently search and enquire into the mysteries and depths of this Art but must also be furnished as aforesaid with a natural propensity thereunto attended with observation and Patience And having gotten by observationand practice a competent knowledge or having conquer'd the difficulties of Angling it will then not onely prove pleasant but profitable and be like Vertue a Reward to it self Now that I may farther commend this ingenious profession be pleased to take notice of the Antiquity thereof some saying it is as ancient as Deucalion's Flood Some attribute it to the invention of one Belus the first Author of vertuous Recreations Others say that Seth left the knowledge of Angling to his posterity ingraven on brazen Pillars with the first Rudiments of the Mathematicks and other useful Arts by which means they were preserved from perishing in the universal Deluge Divers are the opinions of men concerning the Antiquity of this Art let it suffice that certainly it is older than Christ's Incarnation for both Job and the Prophet Amos make mention of Fish-hooks and consequently there must be Anglers then in those days The next thing that offers it self in the commendation of this Art is the benefit of Contemplation which is acquired hereby which is a thing according to the opinion of some learned Cloister'd men to be preferred before Action because say they it makes us mortals the nearer to come to the Creator by way of imitation for he is all Contemplation of his own infinite Power Goodness
