Afterwardes when all the huntsmen be come together, the•…•… shall make their sundry reports, and present their few•…•…y •…•…hings vnto the Prince or master of the game in field, one after another, euery man rehearsing what he hath seene. And when the Prince or other chiefe hath hard them and seene their •…•…ewmishings, he or she may then chose which of the Hartes he will hunt, and which he or she thinkes most likely to make him or hir best sport. And telling his or hir minde to him that harbored the Hart, the same huntsman shall go backe to his blemishes immediatly. But for the better declaration and liuely exmessing of all these things, I haue here set in portrayture as well an assembly, as also the pee∣senting of a report made by a huntsman to a Prince vpon sight of Slot, view, entrie, portes, abatures, fewmishings, and such o∣ther tokens. For the better encouraging of suche huntesmen as painefully do rise easely and late, to make their Lorde and Ma∣ster pastime, I haue set it downe in suche termes as I can, desi∣ring all Masters of •…•…enerie and olde huntesmen, to beare with my boldnesse in vttering of my simple knowledge.
