awrye and peniersly corrupted by diuers defaultes? we wil declare at large in our booke intituled, Simphonia vocum Britannicarum.
Of the Tumbler.
Among houndes the Tumbler called in latine Vertagus, is the last, which commeth of this worde Tumbler flowing first of al out of the French fountaine. For as we say Tumble so they Tumbier, reseruing one sense and signification, which the latinists comprehende vnder this worde Vertere, So that we see thus much, that Tumbler commeth of Tumbier, the vowel, I, chaunged into the Liquid L, after ye maner of our speache, Contrary to the French and the Italian tounge. In which two languages, A Liquid before a Vowell for the most part is turned into another Vowell, As, may be perceaued in the example of these two wordes, Implere & plano, for Impiere & piano, L, before, E chaunged into, I, and L, before A, turned into I, also. This I thought conuenient for a taste.
The names of such Dogges as be contained in the second Section.
AFter such as serue for hunting orderly doe follow such as serue for hawking and fowling. Among which the principall and chiefest is the Spaniell, called in Latine Hispaniolus, borrowing his name of Hispania Spaine, wherein wee Englishe men not pronouncing the Aspiration H, Nor the Vowell I, for quicknesse and redinesse of speach say roundly A Spaniell.
Of the Setter.
The second sorte of this second division and second section, is called a Setter, in latine Index, Of the worde Set which signifieth in Englishe that which the Latinistes meane by this word Locum designare, ye reason is rehersed before more largely, it shall not neede to make a new repetition.
