The water Spaniell consequently followeth, called in Latine Aquaticus, in English a waterspaniell, which name is compounde of two simple wordes, namely Water, which in Latine soũdeth _Aqua_, wherein he swymmeth. And _Spaine_, _Hispania_, the country frõ whence they came, Not that England wanted such kinde of Dogges, (for they are naturally bred and ingendred in this country.) But because they beare the generall and common name of these Dogges synce the time they were first brought ouer out of Spaine. And wee make a certaine difference in this sort of Dogges, eyther for some thing which in theyr voyce is to be marked, or for some thing which in their qualities is to be considered, as for an example in this kinde called the Spaniell by the apposition and putting to of this word water, which two coupled together sounde waterspaniell. He is also called a fynder, in Latine _Inquisitor_, because that by serious and secure seeking, he findeth such things as be lost, which word _Finde_ in English is that which the Latines meane by this Verbe _Inuenire_. This dogge hath this name of his property because the principall point of his seruice consisteth in the premisses. The names of such Dogges as be contained in the thirde Section. Now leauing the suruie we of hunting and hauking dogs, it remaineth that we runne ouer the residue, whereof some be called, fine dogs, some course, other some mungrels or rascalls. The first is the Spaniell gentle called _Canis Melitæus_, because it is a kinde of dogge accepted among gentles, Nobles, Lordes, Ladies, &c. who make much of them vouchsafeing to admit them so farre into their company that they will not onely lull them in theyr lappes, but kysse them with their lippes, and make them theyr prettie playfellowes. Such a one was _Gorgons_ litle puppie mencioned by _Theocritus_ in _Siracusis_, (43) who taking his iourney, straightly charged & commaunded his mayde to see to his Dogge as charely and warely as to his childe: To call him in alwayes that he wandred not abroade, as well as to rock the babe a sleepe, crying in the cradle. This puppitly and peasantly curre, (which some frumpingly tearme fysteing hounds) serue in a maner to no good vse except, (As we haue made former relation) to succour and strengthen quailing and quammning stomackes to bewray bawdery, and filthy abhominable leudnesse (which a litle dogge of this kinde did in _Sicilia_) As _Ælianus_ in his .7. booke of beastes and .27. chapter recordeth. The names of such dogges as be contained in the fourth Section. Of dogges vnder the courser kinde, wee will deale first with the shepherds dogge, whom we call the Bandogge, the Tydogge, or the Mastyue, the first name is imputed to him for seruice _Quoniam pastori famulatur_, because he is at the shepherds his masters commaundement. The seconde a _Ligamento_ of the band or chaine wherewith he is tyed, The thirde a _Sagina_, Of the fatnesse of his body.
