Anatomy of Abuses

Beare-baiting

What Christen heart can take pleasure to see one poore beast to rent, teare, and kill another, and all for his foolish pleasure? And although they be bloody beasts to mankind, & seeke his destruction, yet we are not to abuse them, for his sake who made them, & whose creatures they are. For, notwithstanding that they be evill to us, & thirst after our blood, yet are thei good creatures in their own nature & kind, & made to set foorth the glorie & magnificence of the great God, & for our use; & therefore for his sake not bo be abused.

Cockfighting, Hawking and Hunting

I never read of any in the volume of the sacred Scripture that was a good man, and a Hunter.
