the mayle of an Hawke HAwkes haue white mayle Canuas mayle or red mayle and some call red mayle yron mayle which mayle is soone knowne Canuas mayle is betwéene white mayle and yron mayle and yron mayle is very red Plumage and cast your Hauke A Goshawke nor Tercell in their sore age haue not their mayles named but is called their plumage and after the cote it is called their mayle And if your Hawke rewarde to any Hawke by countenance for to flie thereto you shall say cast your Hawke thereto and not flie thereto Noume or fenced AND if your Hawke noume a foule and the foule breake from her she hath discomfited many feathers of the foule and is broken away but in kindly spéech you shall say your Hawke hath noumed or seased a foule and not taken it Wherefore a Hawke is called a Rifler OFtentimes it happeneth with a Hauke that for egernesse when she should noume a foule she seaseth but the feathers and therefore such Hawkes be called Riflers if they doe oft so The names of all the members of your Hawkes with their conuenient tearmes FIrst Cleys behind that straineth the backe of the hand ye shall call them Talons The Cleys within the foot you shall call them her pounses But the Cleys that are vpon the middle stretchers you shall call them the long sengles And the vttermost Cleys you shall call them petty sengles The Key or closer THe long sengles are called the Key of the foot or the closer for what thing soeuer a Hawke streineth is vpon the sengle and the strength thereof fortefieth all the foot Seres of watry or waxy colours YOu shall vnderstand that the skinne about the Hawkes legges and her féet is called the Seres of her legges and her féet whether they be watry or waxy colour are yellow The beame feathers A Hawke hath twelue feathers on her tayle and one principall feather of the same in the midst and in a maner all the rest are couered vnder the said feather and that is called the beame feather of the taile and there is blacke bars ouerthwart the taile and those barres will tell you when she is full summed or full fermed for when she is full barred she standeth vpon seuen and then she is perfect readie to be reclaimed as long as a Hawke standeth vnder the number of seuen barres and she be in her sore age you may say she is not full summed for so long she is but tender penned whether shée bée Brauncher or Eyes and if she be a mewed Hawke and stand within seuen barres you may say she is not full fermed for she is not able to be reclaimed because she is drawne too soone out of the mew for she is not penned no harder then a sore Hawke Brayles or Braylefeathers AN Hawke hath long small white feathers hanging vnder her taile from her bowelles downeward and it is called the Braylefeather and commonly euery G●shawke and euery Tercelles brailes be besprinckled with blacke speckes like armies but for all that they be accounted neuer the better But and a Sparrahawke bée so armied vpon the brailes or Musket you shall say she is degouted to the vttermost braile and it betokeneth great hardinesse Breast feathers Plumage Barbe feathers Pendant feathers THe feathers aboue the former part of an Hawke bée called breast feathers and the feathers vnder the winges are Plumage the feathers vnder the beake be called Barbe feathers the feathers that bée at the ioint of the knée that are hanging and sharpe at the ends those be called the Pendant feathers Flage or flagges feathers THe feathers at the wings next to the bodie be the flages or flagges feathers Beame feathers of the wing THe long feather of the wing are called the Beame feather and the feather that some call the pinion of other foules of an Hawke it is called a sercell and if she bée in mewe the same feather will be the last that she will cast and till that bée casted she is neuer mewed I haue heard some say that she hath cast that first but the other rule is more common and when she hath cast her sercell in mewe then is it time to féed her with washt meat and to begin to ensayme her Ensayme ENsayme of an Hawke is the greace and if that bée taken away with féeding of washt meate as it is declared hereafter she will gender a panell which will be her vtter confusion if she flie therewith and take cold therevpon Couerts or couert feathers THere be feathers vpon the Sercelles and those bée called couert feathers and so al the feathers be called that bée next ouer the beame feathers are the sage feathers of the wings Backe feathers THe feathers vppon the backe halfe bée called backe feathers Beake Clap Nares Sere THe Beake of the Hawke is the vpper part that is crooked the nether part is called the Clap of a Hawke the holes in the Hawkes beake bée called the Nares the yeallow betweéene the beake and the eie is called the Sere Cryuets THere bée long small blacke feathers like heares about the Seres and those be called Cryuets of the Hauke Sore age YOu shall vnderstand that the first yeare of a Hawke whether shée bée a Brauncher or Eyesse the first is called her sore age and all that yeare she is called a sore Hawke and if she escape that yeare with good féeding she is like to endure long To reclaime a Hawke IF you will reclaime your Hawke you must diuide one meale into thrée vntill that she will come to reclaime and when she will come to reclaime make her that she sore not though shee bee well reclaymed it may fall out that shee will sore too high that ye shall neuer sée nor find her And if your Hawke flie to the Partrich looke that ye ensayme her before she flie whether she be a Brauncher Eyesse or mued Hawke When a Hawke is called an Eyesse A Hawke y t is called an Eyesse is for her eyen for a Hawke that is brought vp vnder a Busserd or Puttocke as many haue watrie eyne for when they be disclosed and kept in ferme till they be full summed ye shall know that by her watrie eies and also her looke will not bee so quicke as a Braunchers is and so because the best knowledge is by the eye they be called Eyessed ye may know an Eyesse by the palenesse of the seres of her legges or the sere ouer the beake also by the taintes that bee vpon her tayle and her winges which taintes come for lacke of féeding when they be Eyesses What a Taint is A Taint is a thing that goeth ouerthwart the feathers of the wings of the taile like as it were eaten with wormes and it beginneth first to bréede at the bodie in the pen and the same pen shall fret asunder and fall away through the same Taint and then is the Hawke desperaged for all that yeare Medisines to Ensayme your Hawke TAke the

are woont to feede all that eate of it will fall downe and die but to kéepe them that they die not you must giue them to drinke Oyle Oliue and shortly after they will reuiue againe This is approued Of fouling with Limebush TO speake of Limebush there can bee but little sayd for it is commonly knowne and practised of all both in Winter and Summer In Winter it is vsed with Limebush which we call Bat fouling along by hedges to catch those birds that rest in hedges one to carrie a light and another to beate the hedge as also the Limebush is vsed at house ends Houels or Rickes the Limebush is of little cost and is good for all times of the yeare In Summer you may call Sparrowes with a whistle to your bush There is another pretie way to catch birds with your Limebush if you can get but an Oule set her vpon an hedge and set a bush of two by her of one side of her when the birds espie her they will flutter about her and you shall catch good store of Birds In Winter you haue many other waies good How to foule vvith Nets ALso there is another manner of way to foule which is with Nets but the vse of them is in the night and the darkest night the better and first of fouling with Nets which wée call in England most commonly Birdbaiting and some call it lowbelling and the vse of it is to goe with a great light of Cressets or ragges of linnen dipt in Tailow that will make a good light and you must haue a panne of plate made like a Lanterne to carrie your light in which must haue a great socket to holde a great light and carrie it before you on your breast with a Bell in your other hande of a great bignesse made in manner like to a Cowbel but of greater bignesse and you must ring it alwaies after one order with two to goe with Nettes one of each side of him that carries the Bell and what with the light that so doth amase them and the Bell that so dooth astonish them they will when you come neare them turne vp their white bellies which you shall quicklie perceiue then lay your Nets on them and take them but the Bell must not stint going for if it cease then the Birds wil flie vp if they heare anie more nigh This is a good way to catch Larkes Woodcockes and Partriches and all other land birds To goe vvith a Trammill TO goe a trameling with a Net it is a good way for two may goe abroad with a Tramell and catch store You must haue your Nette seauen yardes of length and fiue in breadth then take a couple of Poules or long roddes so long as your Net is and tie your poles to your Nettes all along the length of your Nettes one of one side and the other of the other side then may you take your poule in your hand and plucke out your poule out of breadth and one goe in one thorow of the land and another in the other thorowe and goe along in lands and carrie your Nette as farre forwards as you can and when they heare you tread then will they flutter vp into your Nette which you shall quickly heare then let downe your Nette to the ground and gripe them and take them from vnder your Nette but if it be in a verie darke night that you cannot see them you should haue a little cloase Lanterne that one may perceiue no light but when it is opened to sée to take them but wée commonly make shift without To set Springes ALso some vse to set Springes which is made with a running knot and a sticke in the ground to yerke vp with an other sticke which the foule must tread one which is in manner like to a trop or running knot which is made of heares which is good to bee set in frost time in springs for Woodcocks and Snipes or any other foule if they come where that springes bee set or you may set them in Lands in the very thorowe for Woodcockes where you know that they haunt and in Summer you may set them in bushes either for Woodcocks or anie other birds and you must looke that the sticke that they treade on bee somewhat round and browne for if it bée white they will feare to tread of it and your nouse must be made of horse heare and the blacker the better The end of Fouling A breife Treatis of Fishing with the art of Angling Wherein is contained the perfect making of all maner of Implements appertaining to that exercise the diuers and seuerall baytes for euery kind of Fish with the best times of the yeare for the taking of them A briefe Treatise of Fishing with the Arte of Angling wherein is conteined the perfect making of all manner of Implements appertaining to that exercise The diuers and seuerall baites for euery kind of fish with the best times of the yeere for the taking of them AS the wise man saith a good spirit maketh a merie and flourishing age and causeth a man to liue long and truly in my opinion these thrée thinges are a medesine and a preseruation for the same The first of them is a merry thought The second is labour not outragious The third is diet measurable The first if a man will euermore bée in a merry thought and haue a glad spirit hée must eschewe all contrarious companie and all places of debate where hee may haue anie occasion of melancholie and hee must eschewe all places of Ryot which is occasion of surfit and sicknesse and hee must drawe him to places of sweete ayre and eate nourishing meates and delectable As nowe I meane to descriue these disportes and games to finde the best of them as truely as I could and although the right Noble and worthie Duke of Yorke late maister of the game hath described this arte of Fishing and the rest of these pleasures and disportes For hunting in myne opinion is laboursome for the Huntsman must follow his hounds sweating full sore hee bloweth till his lips blister and when hée thinkes hee hath a Hare full oft it is a Hedgehog Thus hée chaseth vp and downe and knoweth not sometimes at what He commeth home at night rayne beaten and pricked and his clothes torne all to peeces wetshod and all myrie and some of his hounds lost and some surbated Such griefes and manie other happen vnto the Huntsmen which for displeasing of them that loue it I dare not report thus truely mee thinketh it is not the best game and disport of the foure Hawking is labourous and troubelous for as often the Faulkner loseth his Hawkes as the Hunter his Houndes then is his game and disport gone yea and full often hee crieth and whistleth till he almost loseth his wind his Hawke sometime taketh aboue and giueth no minde nor sight to him for when hee would haue her flie then shee will bathe
