How to mah$ a Soar-Falcon or Haggard /</'// her Gav;c at the &&y frfl; 



IF (he be well lured, flieth a good Gate, and ftoopeth well,, then cad off a WeM 

 quarried Hawk and let her ftoop a Fowl on Brook or Plafh, and watch her till 

 fheput it to the plunge 5 then takedown your Mal^c-Haiv/^ reward her, hood her, 

 and fet her : So you may make ufe of her if need require. 



Then take your Hawk unentred, and going up the wind half a Bow-fhot, loofeher 

 Hood, and foftly whittle her off your Fill:, until (he have rouzed or mewted : Then 

 let her fly with her Head into the wind, having fir ft given notice or warning to the 

 company to be in readinefs againft the Hawk be in a good Gate, and to (hew water, 

 and to lay out the Fowl. 



When {he is at a good pitch, andcovering the Fowl, then notifie that all the com* 

 pany make in at once to the Brook upon the Fowl, to land her : If your Falcon ftrike, 

 ftoop or trufs her Game, run in to help her, and crofting the Fowls Wings, let her take 

 her pleafure thereon. 



If (he kill not the Fowl at firft ftooping, give her then refpite to recover her Gate. 

 When (he hath got it, and her Head in, then lay out the Fowl as aforefaid, until you 

 land it atlaft 5 not forgetting to help her as fcon as (he hath (eized it, giving alio her 

 due Reward. You (hall do well always to have a quick Duck in readinefs, that if 

 the Hawk kill not the Fowl (looped you may feel and throw it up to her being at her 

 pitch.

Remedy for a Hawks taking Stand in a. Tree. 



N the firft place you muft chufe fuch places where are no Wood or Trees, or as lit-* 

 tie as may be. If you cannot avoid it, then have two or three live Trains, and 

 give them to as many men, placing them conveniently for to ufe them. When there- 

 fore your Hawk hath (looped, and endeavours to go to Stand, let him to whom the 

 Hawk moft bends caft out his Train-Duel^ feel'd : If the Hawk kill her, reward her 

 therewith. If this courfe will not remedy that fault in her by twice or thrice fo doing,, 

 my advice is then to part with the Buzzard.
