10 THE COMPLETE ANGLER. PART I, 



dude this part of my discourse, pray remember these 

 wonders were done by birds of the air, the element in 

 which they, and I, take so much pleasure. 



There is also a little contemptible winged creature, an 

 inhabitant of my aerial element, namely, the laborious 

 Bee, of whose Prudence, Policy, and regular Govern- 

 ment of their own commonwealth, I might say much, 

 as also of their several kinds, and how useful their honey 

 and wax is both for meat and medicines to mankind; 1 but 

 I will leave them to their sweet labour, without the least 

 disturbance, believing them to be all very busy at this 

 very time amongst the herbs and flowers that we see 

 nature puts forth this May morning. 



And now to return to my Hawks, from whom I have 

 made too long a digression ; you are to note, that they 

 are usually distinguished into two kinds; namely, the 

 long-winged, and the short-winged Hawk: of the first 

 kind, there be chiefly in use amongst us in this natiom 



The Gerfalcon and Jerkin, 



The Falcon and Tassel-gentel, 



The Laner and Laneret, 



The Bockerel and Bockeret, 



The Saker and Sacaret, 



The Merlin and Jack Merlin, 



The Hobby and Jack: 

 There is the Stelletto of Spain, 



The Blood-red Rook from Turkey, 



The Waskite from Virginia: 

 And there is of short-winged Hawks, 



The Eagle and Iron, 



The Goshawk and Tarcel, 



ing of both is. that the Holy Spirit descended, as a Dore uses to descend upon 

 any U.inc, hovering, aod overshadowing it. Virfe Whit^y on Luke in. 22.
