As for Austins amplification of the affectionate nature of an Hen above other creatures; we may consider that Austins Tractates on John, are of the nature of Sermons, and therein the ancients do accommodate themselves to popular amplifications. It is true we do not know Sparrows, Swallows, Storks, Doves, to be Mothers, but when we see them in their nests; but what is the true reason hereof? Is it not because their young ones are wild, and as soon as they are apt to fly, one flies one way, and another flies another way, they come together no more; it is not so with chickens which are tame creatures, and we see the carriage of the Hen towards them, we do not see the carriage of other fowls towards their young ones.

Yet we read not the like of a Hen, as of a Stork, that when her nest was on fire, out of a desire to save them with her wings from the fire, hath not forsaken her young ones till she was burnt her self; And we have seen also how a Hen hath sometimes pecked her young ones, and driven them from her, when they would have roosted under her.
