The Runner.

Is a Roape, which is a part that doth belong to the Gar∣net, and the two Bolt-tackles, that before (that comes in the aftermost shrowds of the fore mast) and that Tackle abast (which comes in the fore-mast shrowdes of the maine-mast) it is reeved in a single-block, which is seased to the end of a Pendant, and hath at one end, a hooke to hatch into any thing, and at the other end a double-block, wherein is reeved the fall of the Tackle, or the Garnet, which doth pur∣chase more then the Tackle or the Garnet would doe without it; and therefore, to heavie things they use this; but for light ones, they only use the Tackle with the hooke, which is seised to the standing part of the fall: Over-hale the Runner, that is, pull downe that end which hath the hooke in it, to hitch it into the slings, or the like.
