THis engine or latch, is called a dogge latch, almost like
the other afore, but that his two pillers or postes are
set fast in the ground, and there must be also a hole made
within the latch on the inside of the banke or hill side, where
the latch must be set: and therein yee may baite it with
what baite ye will, for a dogge or other Vermine. Also
vpon the vpper side of the latch, there is notches made one
by an other all ouer. Then is there a barre in the toppe
which runnes vpon a pinne, and runnes into euery notch,
and holdes downe the latch, so that the sayde latch cannot
rise, what soeuer be within it will holde him fast there, be
it dogge, or other vermine: there is also a weight hanging
at the end of the latch, to make it fall more quickly.
