CHAP. IIII.
Of the difference betwixt the Warren and clapper conie.
THe Warren conie hath a redder and thinner haire, a swi••ter and slen∣derer bodie, she is also more watchfull and wild, hauing a pleasanter flesh, and lesse ingendring melancholie than the clapper conie: for the clapper conie lacking libertie, cannot runne not exercise her bo∣die, and so becommeth more familiar and tame, more grosse, fuller of haire, more heauie and drowsie, and therefore lesse pleasant: againe, if it happen by chance that shee come into the Warren amongst wilde ones, she is by and by deuoured of Foxes or other beastes, enemie vnto her, hauing neuer beene acquainted with the the assaults and enimities of the said beastes before. As concerning other matters,* 1.1 both of them are better to be eaten young and small, than when they are great. Their braine is good to asswage the paine that young children doe endure in the breeding of their teeth: notwithstanding, such as would preserue their memorie must beware and e••te as little thereof as they can possibly, because it furthereth forgetfulnesse. The fat of conies is much more to bee commended than any other part, because it is better than any other helpes to make liniments of for the reines which are grieued with the grauell or the stone.
