are two maners of curing of it The one is by Incision and that other by Receipt He that wil make incysion must first looke howe many va●…es and arteries doe come from any parte of the bodye vnto the

water woulde haue made it colder and moyster and yet would also nourishe them better also if they should be neare vnto warennes they might breake out and be drawne to hunting amysse after Coneys Therefore it shall be beste to bryng them vppe abroade wyth mylke breade and all sortes of pottages and you shall vnderstande that to bring them vppe in Uillages of the countrey is muche better than to bryng them vppe in a Butcherie for as muche as they are not closed vppe and that they maye goe out when they will to seede and to learne the tracke of a chace Also bycause they are accustomed vnto the colde the rayne and all euill weather and are not so soone subiecte to runnyng after tame beastes when they are ordinarily bred amongest them on that otherside if they be bred in butcheries or shambles the fleshe and bloude they should eate would heate their bodyes in such sorte that when they should become greate and that they should runne in chace two or three raynye dayes they woulde marfounder them selues and would not fayle to become maungie and to be subiecte vnto madnesse and to runne after tame beastes bycause in the Shambles they feede ordinarily on bloud and neyther learne to questnor to hunte any thing at all To conclude I neuer sawe dogge come to good perfection especially to become a good haryer which was fed and brought vp in the Shambles In vvhat time men ought to vvithdravve their VVhelpes from their Nursse and vvhat kynd of bread and flesh is best to giue vnto them Chap. 11. IT shal be good to withdraw the whelpe from his nource when he is tenne moneths olde and to keepe them all together in kennell to th ende they may vnderstand and know one an other There is great difference to see a kennell of houndes nourished togither and all of one age and another of houndes gathered here and there bicause those whiche are brought vp togither do better vnderstand eche other and keepe closer togither in Crie than those whiche are gathered from sundrie places When you haue brought your whelpes to kennell you must hang clogges or billets of woodde aboute theyr neckes to teache them to go coupled the bread which should be giuen them should be a third parte of wheat a thirde of Barley or Otes and a thirde of Rie bicause beyng so mixed it keepeth them fresh and fatte and healeth or preserueth them from sundrie diseases whereas if it were all Rie it might make them skoure too much and if it were all wheate it would binde them too much the whiche would cause many diseases and therefore it is best so to mire one with an other Men must giue fleshe to their houndes in winter especially those whiche are leane and hunte the Harte but you should not feede haryers with fleshe for diuers considerations for if you do they will become fleshly and gyuen to hunte great beastes of chace and will make none accompt of the Hare and the Hare also doth often conueye hyr selfe amongst the heardes of tame beasts to be thereby ridde of the dogges and by that meanes the houndes might chaunce to leaue theyr chace and to runne after the tamer beasts But Buckhoundes and such as hunt the Harte will not so easily do it bicause the Bucke or Harte is of greater sent than the Hare in such sorte that his fleshe is vnto them more delicate and more greedely desired thā any other The best flesh that you can giue Houndes and that will beste set vp a weake hounde are horseflesh asse and mules fleshe as for beefe eyther oxe or cowes fleshe and suche like the fleshe is vnto them of a more soure substance You should neuer suffer your houndes to feede vpon any flesh vntill it be fleyed to the ende they may haue no knowledge neither of the beast nor of his heare I allow and prayse pottage made of Mutton Goates fleshe and the heades of beeues for such leane houndes as are variers And it shall not be amisse sometime to mingle therewith some brimstone the whiche may warme them Hereof I will more amply deuise in the treatie of receyntes How a Kennell ought to be situate and trimmed for Houndes Chap. 12. A Kennell ought to be placed in some orientall parte of a house where there may be a large courte wel playned being fourescore paces square according to the commoditie and abilitie of the Lorde whiche oweth it but the greater and larger that it is the better it will be for the Houndes bicause they shall haue the greater pleasure to play themselues and to skōmer through the middest of it were meete and good to haue a little chanell of good fountayne water neare vnto the whiche you shall lay a great trough of stone to receyue the course of the sayde water the whiche trough shal be a foote and a halfe high to the end the houndes may drinke thereat the more easily and that trough musfe be pearced at the one ende to let out the water and to make it cleane when you would In the highest place of the Courte it shal be good to buylde the kennell or lodging for the Houndes in the whiche you must haue two chambers whereof the one shal be larger than the other and in the same should be a chimney great large to make a fire when neede shall require The gates and windowes of the chāber must be set and situate agaynst the rising of the Sunne and the South the chamber should be raysed three foote higher than the leuell of the ground and in the floore you shoulde make two gutters and holes to the ende the filthinesse and vryne of the Houndes may thereby auoyde the walles ought to be well whited and the plankes well mortised and ioyned and so shall spyders fleas punayses and such like the lesse breede and remaine therein You must alwayes leaue them some little dore or wicket to go out into the courte when they would skommer or ease themselues then must you haue in the chamber little bodsteades which shal be raysed a good foote frō the groūd and therwithal let euery bedsteade haue vnder it a roller to remoue it where you will when you would make the place cleane and againe that when they come frō the chace and that it were needefull to warme them you may rolle thē as neare the fire as you wil also those bedsteads must be couered with hurdels or plankes pearced to the end that when the hounds do pisse the vrine may drayne to the groūd You must also haue another chāber wherin the Hūte may withdraw himself keepe his hornes cowples and other things necessarie I thought not needefull to speake of sumptuous chābres that which Princes cause to be made for their hoūds wherin there be closets stoues other magnificences for asmuch as that hath seemed vnto me to be more anoyance than profitable for the houndes for when they are accustomed to such heates beyng so tenderly and

and then after let them couple them vp agayne fayre and gently for if one do roughly handle a young hound at the firste couplyng he will not easily come agayne to the couplyng another time When they are coupled vp agayne they must leade them to their Kennell and giue them meate leauing alwayes some bread in their baskettes for suche as shal be of faynt appetite their strawe must be chaunged three or foure times in a weeke at the least and the Hunte must wreath wispes vpon little stickes and pricke them in the grounde to make them pisse It is a thing certayne that if you rubbe ouer a wispe or suche like thing with Galbanum all your houndes will not fayle to come and pisse agaynst it and if perchance there be no fountayne nor brooke within the courte of your Kennell then must you put their water in troughes of stone or of woodde as I haue rehearsed before the whiche muste be changed and refreshed euery day twyce Also in extreeme heate Houndes are oftentimes combred with lice fleas and other vermine and filthie things and for remedie thereof you muste washe them once a weeke in a bath made with hearbes as followeth First you must haue a great kettle holding tenne great pots or small buckettes full of water then take tenne good stalkes of an hearbe called Veruyne and wilde Cresseyes and asmuch of the leaues of Sorell Marioram Sage Rosemarie and Rewe and lette them boyle well altogethers casting amongst them twoo handfull of Salte then when all is well boyled togithers and that the hearbes be well consumed therein you shall take them from the fire and let them coole vntill the water be no more than luke warme and therewith washe and bathe your dogges one after another rubbyng them softely with your wispes And all these things are best to be done in great heates thryse in a weeke at the least also sometimes when whelpes are lately brought from their nources out of the villages they will dreade the waters and dare not aduenture to passe through ryuers pooles c. To helpe this the Hunte muste choose out warme and hote dayes in the whiche aboute noone he shall couple vp all his houndes and leade them to the side of some riuer or poole and put of all his clothes then shall he take them one after another and carie them a good way into the ryuer to learne them to swimme and abyde the water when he hath done this two or three times he shall see that his houndes will not feare the water nor will make any difficultie to passe or swimme through the riuers and pondes And in this manner good Huntes shall vse their houndes for if they obserue all these things aboue rehearsed it is not possible but that theyr hoūdes shal be wel entred and ordred And oftentimes it happeueth that houndes do hunte and chase in the rayne and frost and other greuous weather or els do enforce thēselues to passe and swimme through riuers and pooles whē they do so the Hunt ought to make them a good fire and to rubbe and drie them and when they be drie he should frotte and rubbe their bellies to take of the dyrte aud claye whiche may hang therevpon for if they go to kene●… wette and moyled with dyrt they should be in daunger to marfounder and to become mangie oftētimes also in running through the hard champayne or stonie grounde they surbate and beblister their feete and to helpe that the Hunt must first washe theyr feete with water and Salte then take the yolkes of egges heate them wel with vinegre and the iuyce of an hearbe growyng vpon the rockes and called Mouseare then take pitch brused to powder and mingle it with twise asmuche soote and after put your sayde powder amongst the egges and ●…yce of hearbs afore sayd making them all hote togither and alwayes styrring them and you must take good heede that you ouerheate it not bicause the moysture might so be consumed and the substance of the egges woulde waxe harde which woulde marre all but 〈◊〉 shal be sufficient to heate it vntill it be somewhat more than luke warme and herewithall shall you rabbe euery night the feete and foldes betweene the clawes of your houndes with a linen cloute I will stand no longer vpon this poynt hoping to speake thereof more amply in the treatie of receiptes How a man should enter his yong houndes to hunte the Harte and of the quaries and rewardes that he shall giue them Chap. 14. WHen the Hunte hath taught his houndes to know and beleeue the hallow and the sound of his horne then the galloppers prickers and huntsmē on horsebacke seyng their houndes strong enough and aboute seuentene or eightene moneths olde shall then beginne to enter and to teach them and they shall haue them a fielde but once a weeke at the moste for feare least they should marre them for houndes are neuer sufficiently knit in their ioyntes and members vntill they be two yeares old at the least and aboue all things whosoeuer would hunte the Harte at force must vnderstand three secretes The first is that he neuer accustome his houdes to runne a Hinde nor giue them any quarrie or rewarde thereof bycause there is difference betwene the sent of a Harte and a Hynde as you may see by experience that houndes do oftētimes single that one from that other and yet houndes are of such nature that the first beast which a man doth enter them at and that they first take pleasure in and haue bene therewith rewarded they do alwaies remēber it most and thereby you may be sure that if you giue them rewardes or bring them to the quarrie of a Hynde they would desire it more than the Harte The second secrete is that it is not good to enter yong houndes within a toile for there a Harte doth nothing but turne and cast aboute since he cannot runne endlong when the hoūdes are in māner alwayes in sight of him and if afterwards you should runne a Harte with dogges so entred at force and out of a toyle and that the Harte tooke endlong eloygning him self from the houndes they woulde quickly giue him ouer and yet there is another thing whiche dothe more hurte vnto suche hoūdes as are entred into a toyle for if a Harte do turne two or three times before them they take aswell the countrie as the right tracke breakyng their course putting themselues out of breath and neither learne to hunte nor to quest nor to do any other thing but rayse vp their heads still to see the Harte The third secrete is that you enter not your houndes nor beginne to teach them in the morn●…ng if you can chuse for if a man do firste accustome them to the freshe of the mornyng if afterwardes they chaunce to Hunte in the heate of the day they will quickly giue ouer but you may enter them and rewarde them in this manner Firste you
