 not to affright her with anything when you unliooJ her, 

 and when you perceive her to be acquainted with com- 

 pany, and that she is sharp set, unhood her, and give

 ing her a bit or two on the lure as she sitteth on your 

 fist ; afterwards take the lure from her, and so hide it 

 that she see it not ; and when she is unseized, cast the
