The figure of another Monster.
THe famous learned man George Fabricius, shewed me this shape of a monstrous beast (the fi∣gure * 1.1 whereof see p. 12.) that is fit to be joyned to the story of Satyres. There was (said he) in the Territory of the Bishop of Saltzburgh, in a forrest called Fannesburgh, a certain four-footed beast, of a yellowish-carnation colour, but so wild that he would never be drawn to look upon any * 1.2 man, hiding himself in the darkest places, and being watched diligently, would not be provoked to come forth so much as to eat his meat, so that in a very short time it was famished. The hinder legs were much unlike the former, and also much longer. It was taken about the year of the Lord, One thousand five hundred thirty, whose image being here so lively described, may save us further labour in discoursing of his main and different parts and proportion.
