beyonde the seas for gréedynesse of gaine and to make money for gasing and gaping staring and standing to sée them being a straunge beast rare and seldom séene in England But to returne to our shepherds dogge This dogge either at the hearing of his masters voyce or at the wagging and whisteling in his fist or at his shrill and horse hissing bringeth the wandring weathers and straying shéepe into the selfe same place where his masters will and wishe is to haue thē wherby the shepherd reapeth this benefite namely that with litle labour and no toyle or mouing of his féete he may rule and guide his flocke according to his owne desire either to haue them go forward or to stand still or to drawe backward or to turne this way or to take that way For it is not in Englande as it is in Fraunce as it is in Flaunders as it is in Syria as it is in Tartaria where the shéepe follow the shepherd for héere in our country the shéepherd followeth the sheepe And somtimes the straying shéepe when no dogge runneth before them nor goeth about beside them gather themselues together in a flocke when they héere the shéepherd whistle in his fist for feare of the Dogge as I imagine remembring this if vnreasonable creatures may be reported to haue memory that the Dogge commonly runneth out at his masters warrant which is his whistle This haue we oftentimes diligently marcked in taking our iourney from towne to towne when wée haue hard a shéepherd whistle we haue rayned in our horse and stoode styll a space to see the proofe and triall of this matter Furthermore with this dogge doth the shéepherd take sheepe for the slaughter and to be healed if they be sicke no hurt or harme in the world done to the simple creature Of the mastiue or Bandogge called in Latine V●llaticus or Cathenarius THis kinde of Dogge called a mas●yue or Bandogge is vaste huge stubborne ougly and eager of a heuy and hurthenous body and therfore but of litle swiftnesse terrible and frightfull to beholde and more fearce and fell then any Arcadian curre notwithstāding they are sayd to haue their generation of the violent Lyon.

The Gasehounde called in latine Agasaeus hath his name of the sharpenesse and stedfastnesse of his eyesight Ey which vertue he compasseth that which otherwise he cannot by smelling attaine As we haue made former relation for to gase is earnestly to viewe and beholde from whence floweth the deriuation of this dogges name Of the Grehounde The Grehounde called Leporarius hath his name of this word Gre which word soundeth Gradus in latine in Englishe degree Because among all dogges these are the most principall occupying the chiefest place and being simply and absolutely the best of the gentle kinde of houndes Of the Le●yner or the Lyemmer This dogge is called a Leuyner for his lyghtnesse which in latine soundeth Leuitas Or a Lyemmer whsch worde is borrowed of Lyemme which the latinists name Lorum and wherefore we call him a Leuyner of this worde Leuitas as we doe many things besides why we deriue and drawe a thousand of our tearmes out of the Greeke the Latine the Italian the Dutch the French and the Spanishe tounge Out of which fountaines in deede they had their originall issue How many words are buryed in the graue of forgetfulnes growne out of vse wrested awaye and peruersly corrupted by diuers defaultes we wil declare at large in our booke intituled Symphonia vocum Britannicarum Of the Tumbler Among houndes the Tumbler called in latine Vertagus is the last which commeth of this worde Tumbler flowyng first of al out of the French fountaine For as we say Tumble so they Tumbier reseruing one sense and signification which the latinists comprehende vnder this worde V●ertere So that we sée thus much that Tumbler commeth of Tumbier the vowell I chaunged into the Liquid L after the maner of our speache Contrary to the French and the Italian tounge In which two languages A Liquid before a Vowell for the most part is turned into another Vowell As may be perceaued in the example of these two wordes Implere plano for Impiere piano L before E chaunged into I and L before A turned into I also This I thought conuenient for a taste The names of such Dogges as be contained in the second Section AFter such as serue for hunting orderly doe follow such as serue for hawking and fowling Among which the principall and chiefest is the Spaniell called in Latine Hispaniolus borrowing his name of Hispania Spaine wherein wée Englishe men not pronouncing the Aspiration H Nor the Vowell I for quicknesse and redinesse of speach say roundly A Spaniell Of the Setter The second sort of this second diuision and second section is called a Setter in latine Index Of the worde Set which signifieth in Englishe that which the Latinistes meane by this word Locum designare the reason is rehersed before more largely it shall not neede to make a new repetition Of the water Spaniell or Finder The water Spaniell consequently followeth called in Latine Aquaticus in English a waterspaniell which name is compounde of two simple wordes namely Water which in Latine soūdeth Aqua wherin he swymmeth And Spaine Hispania the country frō whence they came Not that England wanteth such kinde of Dogges for they are naturally bred and ingendred in this country But because they beare the generall and common name of these Dogges synce the time they were first brought ouer out of Spaine And wee make a certaine difference in this sort of Dogges eyther for some thing which in theyr voyce is to be marked or for some thing which in their qualities is to be considered as for an example in this kinde called the Spaniell by the apposition and putting to of this word water which two coupled together sounde waterspaniell He is also called a fynder in Latine Inquisitor because that by serious and secure seeking he findeth such things as be lost which word Finde in English is that which the Latines meane by this Uerbe Inuenire This dogge hath this name of his property because the principall point of his seruice consisteth in the premisses The names of such Dogges as be contained in the thirde Section NOw leauing the suruiewe of hunting and hauking dogs it remaineth that we runne ouer the residue whereof some be called fine dogs some course other some mungrels or rascalls The first is the Spaniell gentle called Canis Mel●taeus because it is a kinde of dogge accepted among gentles Nobles Lordes Ladies c. who make much of them vouchsafeing to admit them so farre into their company that they will not onely lull them in theyr lappes but kysse them with their lippes and make them theyr prettie playfellowes Such a one was Gorgons litle puppie mencioned by Theocritus in Siracusis who taking his iourney straightly charged commaunded his mayde to sée to his Dogge as charely and warely as to his childe To call him in alwayes that he wandred not abroade as well as to rock the babe a sléepe crying in the cradle This puppitly and peasantly curre which some frumpingly tearme fysteing hounds serue in a maner to no good vse except As we haue made former relation to succour and strengthen quailing and quamming stomackes to bewray bawdery and filthy abhominable leudnesse which a litle dogge of this kinde did in Siciliae As Aelianus in his .7 booke of beastes and .27 chapter recordeth The names of such dogges as be contained in the fourth Section OF dogges vnder the courser kinde wée will deale first with the shepherds dogge whom we call the Bandogge the Tydogge or the Mastyue the first name is imputed to him for seruice Quoniam pastori famulatur because he is at the shepherds his masters commaundement The seconde a Ligamento of the ●and or chaine wherewith he is tyed The thirde a Sagina Of the fatnesse of his body For this kinde of dogge which is vsually tyed is myghty grosse and fat fed I know this that Augustinus Niphus calleth this Mastinus which we call Mastinus And that Albertus writeth how the Lyciscu● is ingendred by a beare and a wolfe Notwithstanding the self same Author taketh it for the most part pro Molosso A dogge of such a countrey The names of such dogges as be contained in the fifte Section OF mungrels and rascalls somwhat is to be spoken And among these of the VVappe or Turnespet which name is made of two simple words that is of Turne which in latine soundeth Vertere and of spete which is Veru or spede for the Englishe word inclineth closer to the Italian imitation Veruuersator Turnspet He is called also VVaupe of the naturall noise of his voyce VVau which he maketh in barcking But for the better and the redyer sounde the vowell u is chaunged into the cōsonant p so that for waupe we say wappe And yet I wot well that Nonius borroweth his Baubari of the naturall voyce Bau as the Graecians doe their 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of wau Now when you vnderstand this that Saltaro in latine signifieth Dansare in Englishe And that our
