 tend, or a Wind Haver ; there muft two, 

 one to calry the Hawk, and. the other to take

 you find a Parcel of Wood-Larks, which 

 lie commonly in Failure, or common Sort 

 of Ground, or by the Gravel-Pits, get as

 the Line and another at the other End, 

 till vou come at the Place^where they are, 

 holding your Hawk up as you go. I have

 Hawk, that they have been taken up by

 and make a Spot v/hich. Vvdll caufe him ta
