 or alive i it dead, put them in fuch a ftifFpofture as if 

 they were living and feeding*, then at Sun-rifing take 

 a quantity of Twigs, as many as you think fit, let 

 •them be fmall, fbut I judge Wheaten-ftraws are bet-

 your Pigeons are placed, and you (hall find fuch fport

Hen you have found any Carrion on which 

 CroTvs, Pits, Kites, Sec. are preying upon, o- 

 ver night fct your Lime-twigs every wliere about the 

 Carrion , but let them be fmall, and not fet too thick i 

 if othcrwifc, being fubtilc Birds, they will fufpedtfome 

 danger or nnfchicf deligncd againlf them. When you 

 perceive one to be fad, advance not to him prcfently i 

 for moll: commonly when they arefurcly caught, they 

 are not fenliblc thereof. 



You may take them another way, and that is by 

 joynhig to a Packthread fcveral Noofes of Hair up and 

 down the Packthread, and peg it down about a yard 

 from the Carrion : for many tiroes when they have 

 gorten a piece of FlelTi, they will be apt to run away to 

 feed by thcmfelves i and if your Noofes be thick, it is 

 two to one but fome of the Noofes catch him by the 



Lcgs^
