How to Hood a Harok. 



Having feel'd your Han-J^ fit her with a large eafie 

 JHood, which you muft take off and put on very often, 

 watching her two nights , handling her frequently 

 and gently about the Head as aforefaid. When you 

 perceive (he hath no aveilion to the Hood , unfeel her 

 in an Evening by Candle-light *, continue handling her 

 foftly, often hooding and unhooding her , until fhe 

 takes no offence at the Hood, and will patiently endure 

 handling. 



Take this Obfervatlon by the way , That it is the 

 duty of a Faulconer to be endowed with a great deal of 

 Patience •, and in the next place he ought to have a na- 

 tural love and inclination to Harvlsf » without thefe two 

 Qualifications, all the Profeflbrs of this Art will prove 

 M^r-Harvkr inliead of good Faulconers, 



But to return where I left off: If your fcel'd Haivl^ 

 feeds \vell, abides the Hood and handling without ftri- 

 If ing or biting, then by Candle-light in an Evening 

 xsnfeel her, and with your Finger and Spittle anoint the 

 place where the Seeling-thread was drawn through i' 

 ithen hood her, and hold her on your Fift all night, of- 

 ten hooding, unhooding, and handling her, (troaking 

 her gently about the Wings and Body, giving her fome- 

 times a bit or two, alfo Tiring or Plumage. Being well 

 reclaimed, let her lit upon a Pearch ■■> but every night 

 keep her on the Fill three or four hours , ftroaking, 

 hooding, and unhooding, &c. as aforefaid ; and thus 

 you may do in the day-time, when (be hath learn'd to 

 feed eagerly without tear.
