[Sidenote: Heroner is a long-winged hawk for the heron.] Heroner yo{u} expounde a certeyne kynde of hawke, whiche is true, for a gowshawke, sparrowe hawke, tassell, &c. be kyndes of hawkes. But this heroner, is an especiall hawke (of anye of the kyndes of longe winged hawkes) of moore accompte then other hawkes are, because the flighte of the Herone ys moore daungerous than of other fowles, insomuch, that when she fyndeth her selfe in danger, she will lye in the ayre vppon her backe, and turne vpp her bellye towardes the hawke; and so defile her enymye with her excrementes, that eyther she will blinde the hawke, or ells with her byll or talons pierce the hawkes brest yf she offer to cease vppon her. [Sidenote: The Hyppe is the berye of the sweet bryer or eglantine.] The Hyppe is not simplye the redde berrye one the Bryer, vnlest yo{u} adde this epithetone and saye, the redde Berrye one the swete Bryer, (which is the Eglantyne,) to distinguyshe yt from the comone Bryer or Bramble beringe the blacke Berye, for that name Bryer ys comone to them boothe; when the Hyppe is proper but to one, neither maye yt helpe yo{u} that yo{u} saye the redd Berye, to distinguyshe yt from the Blacke, for the blacke berye ys also redde for a tyme, and then may be called the redde Berye of the Bryer for that tyme. [Sidenote: Nowell meaneth more than Christmas.] Nowell yo{u} expounde Christmasse, whiche ys that feaste and moore, for yt is that tyme, whiche is properlye called the Advente together with Christmasse and Newe yeres tyde, wherefore the true etymologye of that worde ys not Christmasse, or the twelve dayes, but yt is godd with us, or, oure Godde, expressinge to vs the comynge of Christe in the fleshe, whiche p{er}adventure after a sorte, by the figure synecdoche, yo{u} may seeme to excuse, placinge ther xþemas (_Christmasse_) a p{ar}te of this tyme of Nowell for all the tyme that Nowell conteynethe. for in the same worde is conteyned sometyme xx, but for the most p{ar}te thirtye dayes before Christmesse, aswell as the Christmesse yt selfe, that woorde being deduced as hathe Will{iel}m{u}s Postellus in Alphabet. 12 Linguarum, from the hebrue worde Noell: for thus he writethe: ‏‏ נאלnoel, sonat deus noster sive Deus nobis advenit, solitaq{ue} est hec vox cantari a plebe ante xþi ({Christi}) natalitia viginti aut triginta dies quodam desiderio. [Sidenote: Porpherye is a peculiar marble, not marble in common.] Porpherye you expounde marble, w{hi}che m{ar}ble ys genus, but porpherye is species, for as there is white and grey marble, so ys there redde marbell, whiche is this porpherye, a stone of reddish purple coolor, distincte or enterlaced with white veynes as yo{u} may see in the great pillars entringe into the royall exchange or burse in Cornhill.
