5. The Dromedary would also be better hunted: I mean the vagrant Rogues, whose whole life is nothing but an exorbitant course: the main begging, the by's filching and stealing: Only they are not so serviceable as the Dromedary; which is a Beast of quick feet, and strange speed. The reason is given by Aristotle, because the extreme heat of Nature doth waste all the unctuosity and fatness, and thereby gives ⟨p. 80⟩greater agility. But these Dromedaries are not swift: Let one charitable Constable amongst a hundred light on him, and give him correction, and a Passport to his (false-named) place of birth, and he will not travel above a Mile a day. Let them alone, and they will traverse their way••; 1which are no ways: for they cannot keep the beaten path: let them be where they will, they are never out of their way. They boast themselves of the brood of Cain• for they are perpetual Runagates. If the Stocks and Whip-post can not stay their extravagancy, there remains only the Gal-house.
