re, and wash
the Sore with Water and Salt, or Brine.

For the _Pip_; visit the mouth, and examine what hinders your _Cocks_,
_Hen_, or _Chicks_ feeding, and you'll find a white thin Scale on the
Tip of the Tongue, which pull off with your Naile, and rubbing the
Tongue with Salt, will cure it.

For the _Flux_; proceeding from eating too moist Meat, give them
Pease-Bran scalded, will stop it.

For the _Stoppage of the Belly_, that they cannot mute; Anoint their
Vents, and give them either small bits of Bread or Corn, steep'd in
Urine of Man.

For the _Eyes_, I have spoken before, and refer you to that; and for
other Infirmities, let Practise be your Directory.

And now I have one Word of Advice to him that is a Lover (or would be
so) of this _Royal-Sport_; and then have done: _Come not to the Pitt
without Money in your Breeches, and a Judgment of Matches_; +Done+ and
+Done+ is _Cock-Pitt_ +Law+, and if you venture beyond your Pocket, you
must look well to it, or you may loose an Eye by the Battle.

Thus much for _Cock-Fighting_.

Of Fowling.

This is a Recreation so full of _Variety_; that it would take up a great
many _Words_ and _Time_ to discover it; but varying indeed from this
Design, I shall not dilate on its several parts, but as succinctly as
may be, give you some methodical _Instructions_, as may make a man
capable of the _Active_ as well as _Passive_ part of this Pleasure, and
without the one he cannot have the other.

Now then the _Ingenious Fowler_, like a Politick and sagacious Warrior,
must first furnish and store himself with those several Stratagems and
Engines, as suit with the diversities of _Occasion_ (_i. e. Time_,)
_Place_, and _Game_; or else he cannot expect the _Conquest_.

And first of _Nets_, which must be made of the best pack-thread, and for
taking _Great Fowl_, the Meshes must be large, two Inches at least from
point to point, the larger the better; (provided the Fowle creep not
through;) two Fathom _deep_, and six in _Length_, is the best and most
manageable Proportion; Verged with strong Cord on each side, and
extended with long Poles at each end made on purpose. But for small
_Water-Fowle_; Let your Nets be of the smallest and strongest
Pack-thread, the Meshes so big, as for the great Fowle, about two or
three foot deep: Line these on both sides with false Nets, every Mesh a
foot and half Square. For the _Day-Net_, it must be made of fine
Pack-thread, the Mesh an inch
