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.

which dare onely meete lions when other Horsses dare not abide the sight of lyons other being on foote do set the Nets Three of them being placed in the snares remaine to vnderprop the Nets with staies and stakes one in the middle all the rest in both the bendinges or turninges of the same so that he which is in the middle can heare both the other at the farther endes some setting round about in warlike manner holding pitchy fire-brands in their right hands and bucklers in their left for with those they make a very great noyse and clamor and with shewing their fire-brandes put the wilde beastes in an incredible feare Therefore when all the Horse-men being spred abroade inuade the beastes and and the footemen likewise doe follow with a great noise the lyons being terrified with the crying out of the hunters not daring to resist giue place and aswell for feare of fire as of the men they runne into the nets and are taken like as fishes in the night time by fire are compelled and driuen into the nets of the fishers The third The third manner of hunting is done with lesser labour that is foure strong men armed with shields and fortified all ouer with thonges of leather and hauing helmets vpon their heades that onely their eyes noses and lips may appeare with the brandishing of their firebrands rustle in vpon the lyon lying in his den he not bearing this indignation with a gaping and open-wide mouth the lightning or burning of his eyes being inflamed breaketh foorth into a great roaring and with such celeritie rustleth vpon them as if it were some storme and tempest they with a firme and constant courage abide that brunt and in the meane while that he coueteth to catch any of them in his teeth or clawes another of them prouoking him behinde doth smite him and with a loude noise or clamour doth vexe him then the lyon in hast leauing the first which he had taken in his mouth turneth backe his mouth vnto the hinder each of them in seuerall parts doe vex him but he breathing foorth warlike strength runneth here and there this man he leaueth that hee snatcheth vp on high at the length being broken with long labour and wearied foaming in his mouth he lyeth downe straight vpon the ground and now being very quiet they binde him and take him from the earth as if he were a Ramme I doe also finde that lions are intricated in snares or traps bound vnto some poste or pile nigh vnto some narrow place by which they were wont to passe But Pliny saith that in times past it was a very hard and difficult manner to catch lyons and that the chiefest catching of them was in ditches In the mountaine Zaronius in Affricke the strongest men doe continuall hunt lyons the best of which being taken they send them vnto the King of Fesse and the King ordereth his hunting in this manner in a very spacious fielde there are little hutches built of that height as a man may stand vpright in them euery one of these is shut with a little gate and within standeth an armed man the lyon being raysed and forced to that place the dores being open then the lyon seeing the dores open runneth with great force which being shut againe hee is prouoked to anger Afterward they bring a Bull to combate with him where beginneth a cruell fight in which if the Bull shall kill the Lyon the honour of that day is finished but if the Lyon ouercome him all the armed men which in number are almost twelue come foorth to fight against the lyon Some of them hauing boare speares of sixe cubits long but if the armed men shall seeme to ouercome the Lyon the King commaundeth the number to be diminished and if on the contrarie Leo Afer the armed men be ouercome the King with his Nobles sitting in an high place to see the hunting kill the Lyon with Crosse-bowes but it commeth often times to passe that euery one of them is slaine before the lyon The reward of those which combate with the lyon is ten golden Crownes together with a new garment neither are any admitted vnto this fight except they are of a most praegnant and vailorous strength and borne in the mountaine Zalag but those which doe first of all prouoke and giue on-set to the lyons are borne in the mountaine Zaronius To conclude this discourse of the hunting of lyons If it fortune that hee be followed with men and dogges Pliny yet in the plaine fieldes hee neuer mendeth his pace as some writers affirme oftentimes turning about and looking vpon his pursuers as it were to dare their approchment and to giue defiance vnto all their pretences yet hauing gotten the thickets he looketh to his safetie with his best celeritie and speede so wisely tempeering his feare before his foes that it may seeme a boldnesse and so politiquely when he thinketh no eye seeth him no longer dissembleth with himselfe but runneth away like a fearefull Hart Aristotle Albertus or Hare laying downe his eares and striking his taile betwixt his legges like a curre-dogge seldome times looking behind him but most irefully vpon those that come before him especially if he receaue from them any wound wherevnto Horace alluded saying Quid vt nouerca me intueris aut vt petita ferro bellua In his course he spareth no beast that he meeteth but falleth vpon it like a mad-dogge except swine for he is afraid of their bristles and if a man doe not attempt to wounde him he will snatch at him and ouerthrow him but doe him little harme according to these verses of Ouid Corpora magnanima satis est prostrasse leoni Pugna suum finem cum iacet hostis habet He obserueth most vigilantly the hand that woundeth him and laboureth to take reuenge for the euill turne and so it remaineth in his minde till opportunitie send him his aduersaries head as may appeare by this story following When Iuba King of Moores the father of him which when he was a child was brought in triumphe trauailed through the wildernesse with an army of soudiers to represse certaine rebels in one part of his dominion which had shaken off his gouernement and to settle them againe in their first allegiance There was a noble yoong souldier in his traine of the race of the nobilitie and not only very strong but also well experienced in hunting and by the way he with other of his fellowes met with a Lion at whom he presently cast a dart and gaue him a sore wound but not mortall after the wound receaued the lyon went away guiltie of his hurt and the yoong men did not prosecute him but went forward on their iourney After a whole yeare the King returned homeward the same way and his company that he carried with him among whom was this yoong gallant that wounded the lyon The lion hauing recouered his hurt and hauing his denne neere

recited in the last chap. make such a plaister as may couer al the sore place and binde it fast on that it may not fall off renewing it euery day once vntil the sore leaue running and beginneth to wax dry then wash it euery day once with strong water vntill it be cleane dryed vp but if this sorance be but in breeding there is no raw flesh then it shal suffice to anoint it with Sope two or three daies and at the three daies end to wash them with a little Beefe broath or dish water Of Frettishing FRettishing is a sorance that commeth of riding a horse til he sweat and then to set him vp without litter wher he taketh suddenly cold in his feet chiefely before Markham it appears vnder the heele in the hart of the foot for it will grow dun and wax white and crumbly like a Pomys also in time it wil show by the wrinckles on his hoofe and the hoofe wil grow thicke and brickle he wil not be able to tread on stones or hard ground nor well to trauel but stumble and fal the cure is thus Take and pare his feet so thin as may be then rost two or three Egs in the Embers very hard being extream hot taken out of fire crush them in his foot and then clap a piece of leather theron and splint it that the Egges may not fal out and so let him run and he will be sound Of sorances or griefes that be common to all foure feet HItherto we haue declared vnto you the causes signs and cure of all such griefes as are properly incident either to the forelegs or hinder legs now therefore we speake of those griefes that be common to them both and first of windgals Of Windgalles THe windgall called of the Italians Galla is a bladder full of corrupt ielly Blundevile whereof some be great and some bee small and do grow on each side of the ioynt and is so painfull and especially in summer season when the wether is hot and the waies hard as the horse is not able to trauell but halteth downe right They come for the most part through extreame labor and heat whereby the humors being dissolued doe flow and resort into the hollow places about the neather ioynts and there be congealed and couered with a thin skin like a bladder They bee apparant to the eie and therefore neede no other signes to know them The cure whereof according to Martin is thus Wash them with water and shaue off the haire scarifie them with the point of a rasor and dresse them with Cantharides in the selfesame manner as the splent in the knee was taught before and annoint them afterward with butter vntil the skin be whole And if this will not heale it then draw them with a hot iron like a ragged staffe That done slit the middle line which passeth right downe through the windgall with a sharpe knife beginning beneath and so vpward the length of halfe an inch to the intent you may thrust the ielly out at that hole then lay vnto it a little pitch and rozen molten together and made lukewarme and put a few floxe on it and that will heale him And you may dry vp the windgall in such manner as heere followeth First chop off the haire so far as the windgall extendeth and hauing striken it with a fleame thrust out the ielly with your finger Then take a peece of red wollen cloath and clap it to the place and with a hot broad searing iron seare it so as the iron may not burne through the cloth which is don to dry vp the humors Then hauing taken away the cloth lay vnto the place a peece of shoomakers waxe made like a flat cake about the breadth of a testorn and with your iron not made ouer hot streek softly vpon it too and fro vntill the said wax be throughly melted into the sore Wherupon lay a few flox and let him go Which flocks will afterward fall away of their owne accord Of Windgals WIngals are easie to cure they be little swellings like blebs or bladders on either side the ioint next vnto the feuter-locks as wel before as behind and they come through the occasion of great trauell Markham in hard grauelly or sandy waies The cure is Take Pitch Rozen and Mastick of each like quantity melt them together and with a stick lay it round about the horses legs and whilest it is hot lay flocks theron the nature of this plaister is neuer to come away whilst there is any windgall on the Horses legs but when they are dried vp then it will fall away of itselfe Of wrinching the neather ioynt THis commeth many times by treading awry in some cart root or otherwise The signs be these The ioynt will be swollen and sore and the horse will halt The cure whereof according to Martin is thus take of Dialthea halfe a pounde and as much of Neruall Mingle them together and anoint the sore place therewith chafing it well with both your hands that the oyntment may enter continuing so to do euery day once vntill the oyntment be all spent and let the horse rest But if this will not preuaile then wash it with warm water and shaue away all the haire sauing the fewter-lock Scarifie it and lay to it Cantharides and heale it as you do each splent in the knee Of enterfering BIcause enterfering is to be holpen by shooing wee purpose not to speake of it vntill we come to talke of the order of paring and shooing all manner of hooues Another of Enterfering ENterfering is a griefe that commeth sometimes by ill shooing and somtimes naturally when a horse trots so narrow that he hewes on leg vpon another it appeareth both before and behind betweene the feete against the fet-lockes and there is no remedy but shooing him with shooes made thin and flat on the outside and narrow and thicke within Of the shakell gall IF a horse be galled in the pasterns with shakell locke pasterne or halter anoint the sore place with a little Hony and Verdigrease boiled together vntill it looke red which is a good ointment for all gallings on the withers and immediatly strow vpon the ointment being first laid vpon the leg a little chopt flax or tow and that will stick fast continuing so to do euery day once vntill it be whole Of hurts in the legs that commeth by casting in the halter or collar ●●undevile IT chanceth many times that a Horsse hauing some itch vnder his eares is desirous to scratch the same with his hinder foote which whilest he reacheth too and fro doth fasten in the coller or halter wherewith the more that he striueth the more he galleth his Legges and many times it chanceth for that he is tyed so long by means wherof being laid and the halter slack about his feet rising perhaps or turning he snarleth himselfe so as he is not able to
