The gentlemans recreation in two parts : the first being an encyclopedy of the arts and sciences ... the second part treats of horsmanship, hawking, hunting, fowling, fishing, and agriculture : with a short treatise of cock-fighting ... : all which are collected from the most authentick authors, and the many gross errors therein corrected, with great enlargements ... : and for the better explanation thereof, great variety of useful sculptures, as nets, traps, engines, &c. are added for the taking of beasts, fowl and fish : not hitherto published by any : the whole illustrated with about an hundred ornamental and useful sculptures engraven in copper, relating to the several subjects.
Blome, Richard, d. 1705.
To cause an Ewe to love her Lamb, or any others Lamb.
TAke a little of the Glean of the Ewe, and force her to eat it, or at least to chew it in her Mouth, and she will fall to love it. But if an Ewe hath cast her Lamb, and you would have her to take another Ewes Lamb, take the Lamb that is Dead, and with it rub and dawb all over the Live Lamb, and so put it to the Ewe, and she will take it naturally, as if her own, provided it be not too old.
