When you shall hunt the Roe, you shall say, He crosses and tresones before the houndes, or if you say, he doubles, it is not much amisse, although by the lawes of sir Tristram it is hardly permitted, you shall not say, This is a great Roebucke, but a faire Bucke, and a faire Doe. Dressing of the Ro is called the Herdlenge of a Roe by the termes of Venerie which you shall performe in this sort: you shall lay
the head betwene the two farther legges: then take the two hinder legges, and crossing them put them on the two contrary farther legges, fastning them by the loosning of the former ioynts, onely taking out the bowels with the blood, and cutting off the feete wherewith you shall reward your hounds, diuiding ech foote into foure peeces with your fawchon or woodknife, and putting them amongest the bowels and blood: And this of the Roe is tearmed a Re∣warde.
