The Beasts of Warren, are three, viz. Hares, Coneys, Roes.
Note, The Hart and Hinde before spoken of, though they are of one kind, yet, because their Seasons are several, are esteemed distinct Beasts; and in the Hart is included the Stag, and all red Deer of Antlier.
And because I reckon it the most necessary part of the Hunter to understand the Names, Degrees, Ages, and Seasons of the aforesaid different Beasts of Forest or Venery, Chace, and Warren; I shall therefore, in the next place, present him with these following
Beasts of Forrest, &c.
The Hart, the first Year is called a Hinde-Calf, 2 A Knobber, 3 A Brock, 4 A Staggard, 5 A Stagg, 6 A Hart.
The Hinde, the first Year a Calf, 2 A Hearse, 3 A Hinde.
The Hare, the first Year a Leveret, 2 A Hare, 3 A Great Hare.
The Wild-Boar and Woolf, being no English Chace, I omit.
