be_v from_o the_o place_n they_o be_v in_o asia_n be_v a_o hot_a region_n all_o sweet_a scent_n be_v hot_a and_o dry_a yet_o we_o may_v very_o well_o doubt_v of_o this_o reason_n until_o we_o have_v

of_o eagerness_n devour_v and_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a remedy_n for_o he_o speedy_o cure_v he_o 7._o it_o be_v observe_v that_o they_o will_v sleep_v three_o whole_a day_n together_o and_o after_o he_o be_v awake_a he_o roar_v out_o and_o then_o it_o be_v that_o his_o body_n smell_v the_o sweet_a at_o which_o time_n abundance_n of_o creature_n be_v draw_v to_o he_o by_o the_o scent_n of_o his_o body_n 8._o although_o he_o be_v so_o fierce_a and_o cruel_a a_o creature_n yet_o it_o be_v report_v of_o he_o that_o he_o be_v not_o unmindful_a or_o ungrateful_a to_o any_o one_o that_o do_v he_o any_o courtesy_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o which_o we_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o several_a historian_n which_o do_v affirm_v that_o if_o he_o meet_v a_o passenger_n that_o be_v wander_v up_o and_o down_o in_o a_o wood_n and_o can_v get_v out_o again_o if_o he_o have_v former_o show_v any_o kindness_n to_o his_o young_a one_o he_o will_v take_v he_o and_o set_v he_o in_o his_o way_n aelian_a tell_v we_o that_o the_o leopard_n while_o young_a deny_v with_o the_o kid_n it_o be_v report_v that_o a_o certain_a kid_n be_v cut_v to_o piece_n and_o give_v to_o the_o leopard_n to_o eat_v he_o will_v not_o touch_v it_o be_v his_o old_a companion_n although_o man_n oftentimes_o do_v indeed_o devour_v as_o it_o be_v their_o near_a relation_n 9_o if_o at_o any_o time_n he_o have_v touch_v any_o poisonous_a flesh_n he_o immediate_o die_v the_o panther_n have_v a_o inveterate_a hatred_n against_o three_o kind_n of_o creature_n more_o especial_o the_o first_o be_v the_o dragon_n who_o voice_n he_o can_v endure_v neither_o the_o scent_n of_o he_o 2._o he_o have_v a_o inveterate_a hatred_n against_o the_o hyaena_fw-la and_o that_o not_o only_o while_o he_o be_v alive_a but_o after_o he_o be_v dead_a so_o he_o hate_v the_o leopard_n that_o if_o he_o see_v a_o man_n that_o have_v only_o his_o skin_n he_o will_v fall_v upon_o he_o and_o destroy_v he_o it_o be_v affirm_v by_o some_o that_o if_o the_o skin_n of_o a_o hyaena_fw-la and_o a_o leopard_n be_v hang_v up_o both_o together_o the_o hair_n of_o the_o leopard_n skin_n will_v all_o fall_v off_o 3._o he_o be_v a_o great_a

not_o so_o cruel_a as_o the_o male_a for_o she_o have_v a_o very_a large_a heart_n the_o reason_n why_o she_o be_v so_o timorous_a and_o fearful_a if_o at_o any_o time_n she_o do_v any_o mischief_n

a_o more_o fragrant_a and_o odoriferous_a smell_n with_o it_o then_o the_o skin_n of_o a_o male._n 14._o although_o this_o creature_n be_v so_o valiant_a and_o subtle_a yet_o it_o be_v easy_o intoxicate_v with_o wine_n which_o he_o be_v very_o greedy_a of_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o huntsman_n pour_v wine_n into_o the_o water_n that_o he_o drink_v first_o in_o a_o morning_n and_o when_o he_o be_v very_o thirsty_a he_o be_v draw_v with_o the_o scent_n of_o the_o wine_n to_o the_o place_n after_o he_o have_v drink_v it_o fly_v into_o his_o head_n which_o make_v he_o wanton_a sport_v himself_o in_o the_o field_n with_o other_o creature_n until_o at_o last_o they_o be_v tire_v and_o fall_v asleep_a so_o that_o then_o they_o be_v easy_o take_v and_o thus_o we_o have_v show_v the_o several_a property_n of_o this_o creature_n let_v we_o now_o see_v what_o be_v to_o be_v learn_v from_o they_o and_o although_o we_o may_v compare_v they_o to_o all_o cruel_a man_n to_o devil_n etc._n etc._n yet_o we_o will_v first_o take_v notice_n what_o the_o scripture_n say_v thus_o we_o find_v it_o compare_v the_o grecian_a monarchy_n as_o also_o alexander_n the_o great_a who_o be_v a_o chief_a member_n of_o it_o to_o the_o panther_n or_o leopard_n the_o reason_n of_o which_o according_a to_o pererius_n and_o other_o be_v these_o that_o follow_v 1._o as_o the_o panther_n be_v no_o big_a than_o a_o beagle_n yet_o be_v very_o strong_a thus_o we_o see_v that_o alexander_n the_o great_a have_v but_o a_o small_a empire_n yet_o with_o a_o army_n consist_v but_o of_o 40000_o man_n conquer_v the_o eastern_a country_n 2._o as_o the_o leopard_n be_v a_o very_a swift_a creature_n thus_o we_o read_v how_o that_o alexander_n the_o great_a in_o the_o space_n of_o twelve_o year_n have_v get_v the_o whole_a empire_n to_o himself_o for_o at_o twenty_o year_n of_o age_n he_o enjoy_v his_o father_n kingdom_n he_o die_v when_o he_o be_v but_o thirty_o three_o year_n of_o age_n at_o which_o age_n man_n use_v to_o have_v but_o little_a of_o any_o experience_n and_o prudence_n but_o how_o much_o he_o gain_v in_o those_o twelve_o year_n we_o shall_v know_v hereafter_o more_o at_o large_a he_o be_v once_o ask_v how_o he_o bring_v about_o such_o great_a thing_n in_o so_o small_a a_o time_n he_o answer_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d never_o delay_v nor_o procrastinate_v any_o business_n but_o it_o be_v much_o to_o consider_v what_o a_o fiery_a bloody_a empire_n he_o have_v therefore_o apelles_n picture_v he_o carry_v lightning_n in_o his_o hand_n his_o mother_n olympias_n when_o she_o be_v with_o child_n dream_v that_o it_o lighten_v into_o her_o womb_n and_o that_o it_o cause_v a_o great_a flame_n iu_n seventeen_o day_n time_n he_o build_v that_o noble_a city_n of_o alexandria_n seat_v upon_o the_o river_n tanais_n in_o three_o fight_n he_o conquer_v all_o asia_n and_o build_v seventy_o city_n and_o as_o hieronymus_n say_v well_o that_o he_o be_v rather_o famous_a for_o his_o victory_n than_o his_o war_n thus_o we_o read_v in_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n who_o speak_v of_o the_o leopard_n chap._n 7._o v._n 6._o say_v thâ—â—_n dominion_n be_v give_v to_o it_o for_o when_o he_o come_v to_o jerusalem_n and_o meet_v the_o highpriest_n there_o he_o fall_v on_o his_o knee_n and_o worship_v he_o be_v ask_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o will_v so_o debase_v himself_o he_o answer_v that_o he_o do_v not_o worship_n the_o man_n but_o god_n for_o the_o night_n before_o god_n do_v appear_v to_o he_o in_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o highpriest_n and_o promise_v he_o several_a victory_n 3._o as_o the_o leopard_n hunt_v all_o live_a creature_n and_o make_v a_o prey_n of_o they_o so_o the_o dominion_n of_o alexander_n be_v very_o large_a as_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n say_v that_o he_o have_v dominion_n over_o the_o whole_a earth_n thus_o 1_o maccabee_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o go_v even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o he_o have_v overcome_v the_o great_a part_n of_o europe_n all_o asia_n macedonia_n armenia_n ilerica_n albania_n cappadocia_n syria_n egypt_n mount_n taurus_n caucasus_n media_n persia_n india_n and_o indeed_o all_o the_o eastern_a country_n in_o general_a several_a king_n be_v subject_n to_o he_o and_o he_o have_v go_v further_o have_v not_o his_o army_n mutyny_v as_o the_o learned_a have_v observe_v out_o of_o q._n curtius_n come_v from_o the_o east_n to_o babylon_n he_o find_v there_o the_o ambassador_n from_o several_a nation_n not_o only_o from_o those_o which_o he_o have_v conquer_v but_o from_o those_o which_o he_o have_v not_o conquer_v as_o out_o of_o africa_n spain_n france_n italy_n and_o also_o from_o the_o roman_n themselves_o and_o he_o have_v conquer_v the_o whole_a mediterranean_a and_o the_o rest_n have_v he_o live_v a_o little_a long_o 4._o as_o the_o leopard_n have_v a_o most_o sweet_a and_o fragrant_a smell_n thus_o alexander_n be_v not_o only_o civil_a and_o courteous_a to_o all_o and_o happy_a and_o successful_a in_o all_o he_o undertake_v but_o as_o plutarch_n affirm_v he_o have_v a_o sweet_a smell_n come_v from_o his_o body_n he_o be_v of_o a_o hot_a and_o moist_a temper_n we_o will_v not_o now_o speak_v any_o thing_n of_o his_o convert_v the_o barbarous_a nation_n how_o he_o instruct_v they_o how_o they_o ought_v to_o cherish_v and_o nourish_v their_o parent_n and_o not_o to_o destroy_v they_o as_o some_o of_o they_o do_v he_o also_o teach_v they_o to_o abstain_v from_o incest_n it_o be_v
poison_v if_o it_o be_v but_o touch_v with_o his_o horn_n it_o take_v away_o the_o poisonous_a quality_n it_o be_v a_o custom_n in_o old_a time_n among_o rich_a man_n to_o have_v drink_v cup_n make_v of_o the_o unicorn_n horn_n and_o when_o at_o any_o time_n they_o drink_v they_o use_v to_o have_v a_o piece_n of_o the_o horn_n in_o the_o cup_n for_o it_o be_v very_o much_o commend_v by_o physician_n now_o have_v explain_v the_o property_n of_o the_o unicorn_n we_o will_v next_o consider_v what_o we_o may_v learn_v from_o it_o 1._o nazianzen_n in_o his_o 13_o oration_n compare_v the_o philosopher_n and_o the_o unicorn_n together_o for_o 1._o as_o the_o unicorn_n love_v solitude_n so_o he_o who_o addict_v himself_o whole_o to_o good_a learning_n desire_v nothing_o so_o much_o as_o privacy_n and_o retiredness_n 2._o as_o the_o unicorn_n love_v to_o be_v on_o the_o high_a mountain_n so_o wise_a man_n ought_v to_o despise_v and_o sleight_v these_o worldly_a thing_n as_o below_o they_o 3._o as_o the_o unicorn_n hate_v any_o slavery_n or_o servitude_n so_o the_o true_a philosopher_n shall_v be_v servant_n to_o none_o nor_o shall_v he_o dwell_v as_o it_o be_v in_o another_o man_n brain_n take_v up_o and_o change_v his_o opinion_n on_o another_o judgement_n 2._o i_o suppose_v that_o that_o in_o the_o psalm_n be_v unknown_a to_o few_o psal_n 22._o 22._o where_o christ_n be_v compass_v about_o with_o most_o cruel_a enemy_n make_v sad_a complaint_n as_o of_o their_o cruel_a usage_n and_o compare_v they_o to_o lion_n and_o unicorn_n say_v in_o the_o forecited_n place_n save_v i_o from_o the_o lion_n mouth_n from_o the_o horn_n of_o the_o unicorn_n by_o which_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v more_o especial_o the_o cruelty_n of_o those_o who_o crucify_a our_o saviour_n although_o it_o may_v not_o unfit_o be_v apply_v to_o all_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o 1._o as_o the_o unicorn_n be_v a_o very_a cruel_a creature_n so_o the_o enemy_n of_o christ_n be_v strong_a and_o cruel_a 2._o as_o it_o be_v strong_a and_o vigorous_a so_o be_v the_o enemy_n of_o the_o church_n 3._o as_o it_o be_v very_o difficult_a to_o be_v take_v and_o when_o take_v as_o difficult_a to_o tame_v it_o which_o job_n chap._n 39_o 9_o seem_v to_o hint_n to_o we_o say_v will_v the_o unicorn_n be_v willing_a to_o serve_v thou_o or_o abide_v by_o thy_o crib_n can_v thou_o bind_v the_o unicorn_n with_o his_o band_n in_o the_o fâ—rrow_n etc._n etc._n so_o the_o enemy_n of_o christ_n be_v implacable_a 4._o as_o the_o unicorn_n love_v to_o dwell_v in_o solitary_a place_n never_o keep_v company_n with_o any_o other_o creature_n thus_o the_o enemy_n of_o christ_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v reduce_v to_o the_o society_n of_o the_o church_n but_o do_v still_o go_v on_o in_o enmity_n and_o hatred_n against_o it_o 3._o in_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n the_o church_n and_o jewish_a state_n be_v compare_v to_o a_o unicorn_n so_o num._n 23._o 22._o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n bring_v they_o oâ—t_o of_o egypt_n he_o have_v the_o strength_n of_o a_o unicorn_n and_o the_o very_a same_o word_n be_v there_o use_v nâ—mb_n 24._o 8._o like_a to_o which_o we_o have_v deut._n 33._o 17._o his_o horn_n be_v like_o the_o horn_n of_o a_o unicorn_n with_o they_o he_o will_v push_v the_o people_n together_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o the_o family_n of_o joseph_n be_v compare_v to_o the_o horn_n of_o a_o unicorn_n so_o david_n psal_n 75._o prayeâ—_n that_o his_o k_o â—gdom_n may_v be_v exalt_v as_o the_o horn_n of_o a_o unicorn_n and_o in_o general_n we_o may_v resemble_v this_o to_o the_o church_n and_o so_o to_o all_o holy_a and_o pious_a man_n that_o ever_o have_v or_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o without_o doubt_v the_o horn_n be_v a_o emblem_n of_o power_n and_o strength_n as_o also_o of_o defence_n which_o we_o may_v liken_v to_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o to_o his_o presence_n aid_n and_o assistance_n and_o then_o we_o may_v learn_v 1._o as_o the_o unicorn_n horn_n be_v so_o high_a by_o which_o he_o defend_v himself_o against_o all_o injury_n so_o the_o church_n welfare_n and_o safety_n consist_v in_o the_o knowledge_n and_o love_n of_o god_n 2._o and_o as_o his_o horn_n be_v a_o excellent_a antidote_n against_o all_o poison_n so_o the_o knowledge_n and_o love_n of_o god_n be_v a_o excellent_a remedy_n against_o all_o vice_n 3._o as_o the_o chief_a thing_n that_o huntsman_n regard_v in_o a_o unicorn_n be_v his_o horâ—_n so_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o main_a reason_n of_o the_o church_n suffering_n be_v as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v her_o horn_n i._n e._n her_o great_a confidence_n and_o affiance_n in_o god_n 4._o as_o it_o be_v very_o difficult_a to_o take_v the_o unicorn_n alive_a and_o when_o she_o be_v hunt_v take_v great_a care_n of_o â—eâ—_n horn_n thus_o the_o church_n ought_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o her_o affliction_n to_o take_v great_a heed_n lest_o she_o loâ—e_v her_o horn_n i._n e._n her_o knowledge_n and_o love_n of_o god_n these_o head_n of_o inference_n may_v be_v further_o enlarge_v i_o shall_v add_v a_o story_n which_o i_o have_v read_v in_o the_o three_o book_n of_o philip_n declamationes_fw-la where_o he_o say_v that_o he_o see_v the_o church_n picture_v like_o to_o a_o unicorn_n stand_v one_o half_a of_o which_o only_o appear_v but_o immediate_o it_o appear_v in_o his_o full_a proportion_n about_o who_o stand_v divers_a beast_n as_o the_o elephant_n panther_n etc._n etc._n make_v a_o great_a noise_n about_o he_o the_o unicorn_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n stand_v undauntedly_n he_o add_v there_o â—hat_n the_o church_n have_v in_o this_o world_n sometime_o prosperity_n and_o sometime_o adversity_n but_o always_o have_v great_a enemy_n which_o she_o at_o last_o overcome_v by_o the_o way_n here_o we_o may_v take_v notice_n that_o oftentimes_o state_n and_o kingdom_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o horn_n for_o as_o horn_n be_v of_o no_o use_n at_o all_o but_o only_o to_o defend_v the_o body_n so_o king_n and_o prince_n unless_o they_o defend_v the_o church_n be_v useless_a 4._o also_o christ_n himself_o and_o his_o kingdom_n be_v not_o unfit_o compare_v to_o a_o unicorn_n horn_n for_o although_o we_o have_v it_o not_o express_o mention_v in_o the_o bible_n yet_o we_o read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n that_o when_o balaam_n be_v to_o bless_v israel_n he_o take_v many_o similitude_n from_o the_o unicorn_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v learn_v 1._o that_o as_o the_o unicorn_n be_v a_o invincible_a creature_n thus_o the_o church_n shall_v prevail_v against_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n moreover_o as_o the_o unicorn_n with_o his_o horn_n do_v overcome_v all_o other_o creature_n thus_o we_o by_o this_o horn_n of_o christ_n do_v overcome_v all_o the_o temptation_n of_o satan_n and_o of_o wicked_a man_n and_o as_o his_o horn_n be_v a_o sovereign_a remedy_n against_o poison_n so_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o horn_n of_o salvation_n in_o which_o sin_n be_v destroy_v death_n be_v abolish_v and_o overcome_v and_o everlasting_a life_n promise_v to_o all_o believer_n and_o as_o the_o unicorn_n spare_v the_o female_a as_o be_v the_o weak_a thus_o christ_n love_v and_o cherish_v those_o that_o be_v of_o a_o contrite_a heart_n to_o conclude_v as_o the_o unicorn_n pursue_v any_o one_o that_o go_v about_o to_o ensnare_v he_o thus_o christ_n do_v by_o his_o horn_n as_o it_o be_v oppose_v all_o that_o set_v themselves_o against_o his_o gospel_n insomuch_o that_o to_o all_o eternity_n
