Your Mew muft have a Portal to convey in thij 

 Hack, a thing whereon the meat is ferved. I necc 

 not prefcribe the manner how to make it, fince it is i 

 thing fo generally known akcady. I 



You ought to keep one fet-hour in feeding i for 0' 

 will fhe mew fooncr and better: when Ihe hath fee 

 and gorged her felf, then remove the Stick from th 

 Hack on which the meat was fattened, to keep her fron 

 dragging if into the Mew. 



In the opinion of moft, it is better Mewing at th 

 Stock or Stone, which muft be performed thus : Mak 

 choice of a Ground-room remote from noife or con 

 courfe of people, and therein fet a Table of wha 

 length you think is moit convenient for the numbe 

 of your Faulcons, and of about fix foot in breadth 

 with thin Boards aloqg the fides and ends, about fou 

 fingers high from the fuperficies of the Table, whicl 

 muft ftand on Treffels about three foot high from th 

 ground. Let this Table be covered indifferently thic! 

 with great Sand mixt with fmali Pebbles, in the midi 

 whereof place a pyramidal Free-ftone about a yard ii 

 height, unto which rye your Faulcon, Gerfaulcon, Mer 

 lin or Mylion : then take a fmall Cord of the bignel 

 of a Bow-ftring, and put it through a Ring or Swive 

 and bind it about the Stone in fuch fort that the Swi 

 vel may go round the Stone without let or hindrance 

 and thereunto tye the Leafe of your Harvkc 



Here note, that if you mew more than one Haw. 

 in one Room, you muft fet your Stones at that di 

 ftancc, that when they bate they may not crab one a 

 nother. 



The rcafon of placing this Stone is, becaufe th' 

 Faulcon delights to fit thereon for its coolnefs fake, anc 

 the little gravelly ftones the Hawk^ fi»cquently fwal- 

 lows to cool her within. The Sand is ncct ffary tc 

 prefcrve their Feathers when they bate, and their Mew-
