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.

as_o it_o be_v apparent_a but_o horn_n grow_v out_o of_o the_o scull_n and_o temple_n and_o so_o do_v the_o elephant_n as_o by_o observation_n every_o man_n may_v discern_v last_o as_o nature_n have_v give_v another_o shape_n and_o great_a proportion_n of_o body_n to_o elephant_n then_o to_o any_o other_o beast_n so_o also_o it_o be_v not_o unreasonable_a that_o it_o vary_v in_o the_o place_n of_o
