eing alarum'd by the Doggs they will repair to
their Burrows and Kennells, and running into the Bags are taken. Other
Methods there are which are used, but the Common usage makes me omit.

_Of the Martern or wild-Cat._

These two Chaces are usually hunted in _England_, and are as great
Infesters of Warrens, as the two last mentioned Vermine, but are not
purposely to be sought after; unless the Huntsman see their place of
Prey, and can go to it; and if the _Hound_ chance to cross them, sport
may be had. But no Rule can be prescribed how to find or hunt them.

_Of the Otter._

This Creature useth to lye near Rivers in his Lodging, which he
cunningly & artificially builds with Boughs, Twiggs and Sticks. A great
Devourer of Fish, and eatable in some Countries, where they have _good
stomacks_. It is a very sagacious and exquisitely smelling Creature, and
much Cunning and Craft is required to hunt him. But to take him, observe
this in short: Being provided with _Otter-Spears_ to watch his Vents,
and good _Otter-Hounds_, beat both sides of the Rivers banks, and you'll
soon find if there is any. If you find him, and perceive where he swims
under Water, get to stand before him when he _Vents_, (_i. e._ takes
breath) and endeavour to strike him with the spear: If you miss him,
follow him with your Hound, and if they are good for _Otter_, they will
certainly beat every Tree-root, _Bulrush-Bed_, or _Osier-Bed_, so that
he cannot escape you.

_Of the Wild Goat._

This being a _Welsh-Chace_, I thought it not amiss to say something of
it, as not altogether Forreign. The _Wild-Goat_ is as bigg and as fleshy
as a _Hart_, but not so long-legg'd. The best time for hunting them is,
at _All-hollontide_; and having observed the Advantages of the Coasts,
Rocks, and places where the _Goats_ lie, set Nets and Toiles towards the
Rivers and Bottoms; for 'tis not to be imagined, the Doggs can follow
them down every place of the Mountaines. Stand some on the tops of the
Rocks, and as Occasion offers throw down Stones; and place your Relays
at the small Brooks or Waters, where the _Goat_ comes down; but let them
not tarry till the _Hounds_ come in, that were cast off.

_Thus much for Hunting._

Of Racing.

As all _Beasts_ are Subservient to _Man_, and he a Liberty and Power to
Use them, and make them his Instruments, for the Procurement of his
_Profit_, or _Pleasure_; so is there not a Creature more Serviceable to
man in eit
