For this kinde of dogge which is vsually tyed, is myghty, grosse, and fat fed. I know this that _Augustinus Niphus_, calleth this _Mastinus_ (which we call Mastiuus.) And that _Albertus_ writeth how the _Lyciscus_ is ingendred by a beare and a wolfe. Notwithstanding the self same Author taketh it for the most part _pro Molosso_. A dogge of such a countrey. The names of such dogges as be contained in the fifte Section. Of mungrels and rascalls somwhat is to be spoken. And among these, of y^e _VVappe_ or _Turnespet_, which name is made of two simple words, that is, of _Turne_, which in latine soundeth _Vertere_, and of _spete_ which is _Veru_, or _spede_, for the Englishe word inclineth closer to the Italian imitation: _Veruuersator_, Turnspet. He is called also VVaupe, of the naturall noise of (44) his voyce _VV_au, which he maketh in barcking. But for the better and the redyer sounde, the vowell, u, is chaunged into the cõsonant, p, so y^t for waupe we say wappe. And yet I wot well that _Nonius_ boroweth his _Baubari_ of the natural voyce _Bau_, as the _Græcians_ doe their βάυζειν of wau. Now when you vnderstand this that _Saltare_ in latine signifieth _Dansare_ in Englishe. And that our dogge therevpon is called a daunser and in the latine _Saltator_, you are so farre taught as you were desirous to learne, And now suppose I, there remaineth nothing, but that your request is fully accomplished. The winding vp of this worke, called the Supplement, &c. Thus (Friend _Gesner_) you haue, not only the kindes of our countrey dogges, but their names also, as well in latine as in Englishe, their offices, seruices, diuersities, natures, & properties, that you can demaunde no more of me in this matter. And albeit I haue not satisfied your minde peraduẽture (who suspectest al speede in the performaunce of your requeste employed, to be meere delayes) because I stayde the setting fourth of that vnperfect pamphlet which, fiue yeares ago, I sent to you as a priuate friende for your owne reeding, and not to be printed, and so made common, yet I hope (hauing like the beare lickt ouer my younge) I haue waded in this worke to your contentation, which delay hath made somewhat better and δευτέραι φροντίδες, after witte more meete to be perused.
