Sir Cary Reynolds referred to the pastime of bear-baiting as a "Brutish Exercise," in support for A Bill for More Diligent Resort to Churches on Sundayes, 1601 citing an incident in 1583 where "the House of Paris Garden fell down, as they were at the BearBaiting, Jan. 23. on a Sunday, and Four Hundred Persons sore Crushed; yet by God's Mercy, only Eight were Slain outright."
