CHAPTER III 
DRIVING 
‘Tue Driving of Partridges is more delightful than 
any other way of taking them ; the manner of it is 
thus :—make an Engine in the form and fashion of a 
Horfe, cut out of Canvas, and stuff it with ftraw or 
fuch light matter ; with this artificial Horfe and your 
Nets you mutt go to the haunts of the Partridges, and 
having found out the Covie and pitcht your nets 
below, you muft go above and taking advantage of 
the Wind, you muft drive downward ; Let your Nets 
be pitcht flope-wise and hovering. Then, having 
your face covered with fomething that is green, or of 
a dark blue, you muft, putting the Engine before you, 
ftalk towards the Partridges with a flow pace raising 
them on their feet, but not their wings, and then they 
will run naturally before you. If they chance to run 
a by way, or contrary to your purpofe, then cross 
them with your engine, and by fo facing them, they 
will run into that track you would have them. Thus
