and having made the bottom-end (harp, at the top you 

 muPf falten a very ftrong Loop of about an hundred 

 Hoife-hairs plaited very fa(i together with ftrong Pack- 

 thread, and made To fmooth that it will run and flip 

 at pkafure : Let the Loop be of the juft quantity of 

 the hoop, made Pear -wife as aforcfaid; then hard by 

 this Loop you mull faden a little broad thin Tricket 

 within an Inch and half of the end of the Plant, 

 which muft be made equally (harp at both ends : thruft 

 the bigger Iharp end of the Plant into the ground clofe 

 by th? edge of the water , the fmaller end with the 

 Hoop and the Trickcr mull be brought down to the 

 hrll Bridge, and then (he Hoop made Pear-wife being 

 laid on the Bridge, one end of the Tricker mulf be 

 fet upon the nick of the Hoop, and the other end a- 

 gaina a nick made on the fmall end of the Plant, 

 which by the violence and bend of the Plant (hall 

 make- them Hick and hold together until the Hoop be 

 moved. 1 his done, lay the Swickle on the Hoop in 

 iuch fa(hion as the Hoop is proportioned i then from 

 each tide of the Hoop prick little Sticks, making an 

 impaled path to the Hoop •, and a5 you go farther and 

 farther from the Hoop or Springe , To make the way 

 wider and wider, that the Fowl may enter a good way 

 before it (hall perceive the Fence. By this means the 

 Fowl will be enticed to wade up to the Springe, which 

 IhiU be no fooner toucht, b\it that part of the Bird Co 

 touching will beinlhntly cnfnared: And thus according 

 tothelhengthofthe Plant you Ihall take any Fowl of 

 what bignels foever. 



The Springe forklTer Fowl, as iFoodcock^^ Snipe.Plo' 

 vcr, O'X. is made after the faihion aforefaid, only differ- 

 ing in Urength according untb the bignefs of the Birds 

 you intend to catch. 



Tne main plant or Sweeper you may make ot Wil- 

 low, Ofier,or any ftick that will bend and return to its
