2 A _Pricket_, 3 A
_Sorrel_, 4 A _Sore_, 5 A _Buck of the first Head_, 6 A _Great Buck_.

The _Doe_, the first Year a _Fawn_, 2 A _Teg_, 3 A _Doe_.

The _Fox_, the first Year a _Cub_, 2 A _Fox_.

The _Martern_, the first Year a _Cub_, 2 A _Martern_.

The _Roe_, the first Year a _Kid_, 2 A _Gyrl_, 3 a _Hemuse_, 4 A

As for the _Beasts of Warren_, the _Hare_ being spoken of before, little
or nothing is to be said. The _Coney_ is first a _Rabbet_, and then an
_Old Coney_.

Thus much for their Names, Degrees, and Ages: Now let us next observe
their _proper Seasons_ for Hunting.

The _Hart_ or _Buck_, beginneth _fifteen_ Days after _Mid-Summer-Day_,
and lasteth till _Holy-Rood-Day_.

As for the _Terms of Art_ appropriated to Hunting, as the Huntsmans

you to the second thing I proposed, _viz._ The _Rules And Measures_ we
are to learn and observe in the aforementioned Sports or Chaces; and in
this we must begin with the _Pursuers or Conquerors_ of these Chaces,
namely;

_Of Hounds._

There are several kinds of _Hounds_, endued with Qualities suitable to
the Country where they are bred; and therefore consult his _Country_,
and you will soon understand his _Nature_ & _Use_: As for instance, The
_Western_ Counties of _England_, and Wood-land, Mountainous Countries,
as also _Cheshire_, and _Lancashire_, breed the _slow-Hound_; a large
great Dog, tall and heavy. _Worcestershire_, _Bedfordshire_, and ma
