together and then put in your heare that it be as déepe as you will haue it For to make Russet heare TAke a pint of strong Lée and halfe a pound of Sote and a little Iuice of Walnut leaues and a quart of Allom put them altogether in a Pan and boile them well and when it is cold put in your heare till it be as darke as you will haue it To make your heare browne TAke strong Ale and Sault and mingle them together and put your heares two daies and two nights and they will bee a perfect colour For to make a tawny colour TAke Lime and water and put them together and then put your heares therein foure or fiue houres then take them out and put them into a Tanners Ose one day and it will be as fine a tawny colour as can be for your purpose The sixt part of your heare you shall keepe still white for lines for the double hooke to fish for the Trout for small lines to lie for the Roche and the Dace When your heare is thus collected you must knowe for which waters and which seasons they shall serue the greene cullour for all cleare waters from Aprill vntill September The yellowe cullour in euery cleare water from September to Nouember For it is like the Weedes and other kinde of grasse that is broken in the Riuer The russet cullour serueth all the Winter vntill the ende of Aprill as well in Riuers as in Pooles or lakes The browne cullour serueth for the water that is blackish in Riuers or other waters the tawny cullours for those riuers or waters that be heathy or morish Now you must make your lines after this order First you must haue an inscrument for the twisting of your line Take your heare and cut off a handfull at the ende because it is not strong enough then turne the top to the tayle ouer each alike and make it into three parts and knit euerie part by himselfe and knit the other end altogether then put that end fast into your instrument into the clift and make it fast with a wedge fower fingers shorter then your heare then twine your warpe one way alike and fasten them in three cliftes alike straight then take that out at the other end and let it twine that way that it desireth then streine it a little and knit it for vndoing and that is good So when you haue so manie links as will suffice for a line to make it long enough then must you knit them together with a water knot or a Dutch knot and when your knot is knit cut of the voyde shore endes a strawe breadth from the knot thus shall your lines be fayre and euen and also sure for any maner of Fish The finest practise is in making your hockes and for the making of them you may haue your seuerall kinde of tooles that you may doe them artificiallie A semy clam of yron a bendor a payre of long and small tongues and a knife somewhat hard and thicke an Anuild and a little hammer And for a small Fish you shall take the smallest quarrell Needles that you can find of Steele and you shall put the Quarrell in a fyre of Charcole till it bee of the same cullour that the fire is then take it out and lay it to coole and you shall find it well alayd to file then rayse the beard with your knife and make the poynt sharpe then alay him againe or else hee will breake in the bending then bend him as hée will serue for your purpose you shall make them of great Needles as shoomakers Needles Taylers needles or imbroderers Needles but looke that they will bowe at the point or els they bee not good and when you haue beaten flat the end of the hooke fyle him smooth that it fret not the line the put it into the fire and giue it an easie red heat then suddainly quench it in water and it will bée hard and strong And for to haue knowledge of your Instruments that bee necessarie without the which you are not able to accomplish your desire that is your Hammer Knife Pynson Claem Wedge File Wrest and a Needle When you haue made your hookes then you must set them on according to their strength and greatnesse First take small red silke and if it bee for a great hooke then double it and twist it and for a small hooke let it be single and therewith fret the line where as you will haue the hooke stand a strawe breadth then set to your hooke and fret it with the same thred the two partes of the length that it shall bee fret in all and when you come to the third part then turne the end of your line vp again double to the other third part then put your thred in at the hole twise or thrise and let it goe each time about the yeard of your hooke then wette the hooke and drawe and looke that your line lie euermore within your hookes and not without and then cut of the lines end and the thred as nigh as you can sauing the fret So yee knowe with how great Hookes you shall angle to euery fish now I will tell with how many heares you shall angle for euerie fish First for the Menowe with a line of one heare For the waring Roche the Bleake the Gogion and the Ruffe with a line of three heares For the Dace and the Roch with a line of three heares For the Pearch the Flounder and Bremet with a line of foure heares For the Cheuin the Breame the Tench and the Eele with sixe heares For the Troute and the grasing Barble and the great Cheuin with nine heares For the great Troute with twelue heares For the Salmon with fifteene heares and for a Pyke with a chalke line made in the colour aforesayd armed with a line as you shall heare hereafter When I speake of the Pyke your Lines must bee plumed with lead and the nearest plumbe to the Hooke bee a foote of at the least and euery plumbe of the quantitie of the bignesse of the line There be thrée maner of plumbes for a ground line renning and for the slote set vpon the ground line lying ten plumbs all ioyning together on the ground line renning nine or ten small the flote plumbe shall be heauie that the first plucke of any fish may pull it into the water and make your plumbes round and smooth that they sticke not on stones and wéedes THen you shall make your slotes in this manner Take a peece of a Corke that is cleane without holes and bore it through with a small hote yron and put thereinto a quill or pen euen and straight alwaies note that the greater the hole the bigger the pen and shape it great in the middest and small at both ends and especiallie sharpe in the nether end and make them smooth on a Grindstone and looke that the flote for one heare be no bigger then

linnen cloath and anoynt the sore fower daies with Balme and afterwards with Pampilion till it be whole The frounce commeth when a man feedeth his Hawke with Porke or Horse flesh foure daies together For default of hot meat the diseases of the Rye commeth How the Cray commeth THe Cray commeth of washt meate which is washt with hot water for lacke of hot meate and it commeth of threds which is in the flesh that the Hawke is fed with and though yée picke the flesh neuer so cleane ye shall find threds therein When your Hawke shall bathe her EVery third day let your Hawke bathe her during Sommer if it bée faire weather and once in a weeke in Winter if it bee warme and not els and when you bathe your Hawke euer giue here some hote meate vnwashed although shée bee a Goshawke How you shall make your Hawke flie with a good courage in the morning IF you will haue her flye in the morning feede her the night before with hote meate and wash the meate in Vrine and wring out the water cleane and that will make her haue a lustie courage to flie after the best maner How you shall guide your Hawke if she be full gorged and that you would gladly haue a flight IF your Hawke bée full gorged and that you would speedelie haue her flie take fower cornes of wheate and put them in a morsell of flesh and giue it her to eat and she will quickly cast all that is within her and after that she hath cast looke that you haue some hot meat to giue her A medisine for the Rye TAke Dasie leaues and stampe them in a Morter wring out the iuyce and with a pen put it into the Hookemares once or twise when the Hawke is smal gorged and anon after let her lyre and she shall be as whole as a fish Also and you giue your Hawke fresh Butter or Marrow of Hogges that is in the bone of the leg of Porke it will make her cast water at the mares but it wil make her hawty and prowd A medisine for the Cray TAke and chafe the fundament of your Hauke with your hand and warme water a good while and after that take the pouder of Saxifrage or els the powder of Rewe and a quantitie of May butter and temper them well together then put it in a little Boxe and stop it close and euery meale when you feede your Hauke annoint her meat therewith and for the loue of the ointment shée will eat her meat the better This experiment will kéepe her from the Cray and many other sicknesses that oft ingender in Haukes Also take the whole heart of a Pig and féed her therewith two daies and it will make her whole Also take Porke and put it into whote Milke and féed your Hauke therewith and that will make your Hauke mute after the best manner And Porke with the Marrow of the Leg of Porke will make her doe the like Also vse her to fresh butter and it will doe the same Also one or two meales of a Pigs liuer whot will make her mute but let her not haue too great a gorge thereof for it is a perrilous meate Also take the white of an Egge and beate it that it bée as thin as water put the same in the vessell and stéepe the meat therein all a day before you giue it her and at night féed her therewith and that which shall be for her dinner the next day let it lie in stéepe all night but in any wise sée that you haue fresh whites of Egges and if her féeding be of Porke it is the better This is proued The perfect and kindly tearmes for a Faulkner belonging to Haukes THe first is hold fast at all times and especially when shée baiteth it is called baiting for shée baiteth with her selfe most often causelesse The second is rebate your Hauke to your fist and that is when your Hauke baiteth the least mouing that you can make of your fist she will rebate againe on your fist The third is féed your Hauke and not giue her meate The fourth she sniteth or sueth her beake and not wipeth The fist your Hawke iouketh and not sléepeth The sixt she proyneth and not pecketh and she proyneth not but when she beginneth at her legges and fetcheth moisture like Oile ather taile and bawmeth her féet and stroketh the feathers of her winges through her beake it is called the note when shée fetcheth such oile A Hawke would neuer be let of her proyning for when she proyneth her selfe she is lustie and of good liking and when she hath done she will rouse her selfe mightily and sometime she countenanceth as she picketh her and yet she proyneth her not and then you must say she reformeth her feathers and not picke her feathers The seuenth your Hawke colieth and not becketh The viii rouseth and not shaketh her The ninth she stretcheth and not claweth nor scratcheth The tenth she mantelleth and not stretcheth when she putteth foorth her legges from her one after another and her wings follow her legges then she doth mantell her and when she hath mantelled and bringeth foorth her winges together ouer her backe you must say she warbleth her winges and that is a tearme fit for it The xi your Hawke mutesseth or mutteth and not shiteth The xii you cast your Hawke vpon the Perch and not set her vpon the Perch For speciall tearmes belonging to Hawkes when you shall haue any cause to commend them for diuers of their properties FIrst you must say she is a fayre Hawke a huge Hawke a long Hawke a short thicke Hawke and not to say a great Hawke Also she hath a large beake or a short beake and not call it a bill and a huge head or a small head fayre seasoned You must say your Hawke is full gorged and not cropped and your Hawke putteth ouer and endueth and yet she doth both diuersly How your Hawke putteth ouer SHe putteth ouer when shée remooueth her meate from her gorge into her bowelles and thus ye shall know when she hath put it ouer she trauersseth with her bodie and specially with necke as a Craine doth or other bird When you shall say she endueth and embowelleth SHe neuer endueth so long as her bowelles be full at her féeding but assoone as she is fed and resteth she indueth by little and little and if her gorge and her bowelles in any thing stiffeth you shall say she is embowelled and haue not fully endued and as long as ye may find anie thing in her bowelles it is very dangerous to giue her any meat Marke well these tearmes SAy your Hawke hath a long wing a fayre long taile with sixe barres out and standeth vpon the seuenth This Hawke is interpened that is to say where the feathers of the winges be betwéene the bodie and thighes this Hawke hath an huge leg or a flat leg or a round leg or a fayre infered leg To know

with misféeding shee will haue the frounce and many other diseases that bringeth to souce Thus by proofe this is not the best disport and game of the sayd foure In my opinion the game of Fouling is the simplest for in Winter in cold weather the Fouler can doe no good but in the hardest and coldest weather which is greeuous for when he would goe to his ginnes hee cannot for colde manie a deuise hee maketh and yet in the morning his fortune is hard when hee is wet vp to the waste Manie discommodities I could shewe but for offending I let them passe Then sith it is so that Hawking Hunting and Fouling bee so laborous that none of them may bee a meane to a merrie spirit which is the cause of long life vnto the sayings of the wise in his Parables doubtlesse then it must followe that fishing with the Angle is most delectable for all other are troublesome and laberous For in some kinde of fishing it maketh the Fisher through wet and so colde that many and sundrie times there insueth diuers infirmities through the same But the Angler hee hath no colde no disease no impediment except it bee through himselfe for hee can lose but a Line or a Hooke at the most which hee may make againe at his owne leisure as he shall be taught hereafter So then is not his losse greeuous if the fish breake away with his Hooke that is the most for and he faile of one hee hitteth of another and if hee quite faile yet hee hath his wholesome walkes his pleasant shades the sweete ayre the excellent smelles of the sweete Medowe flowers which maketh him hungrie hee heareth the melodious Harmonie of Birdes and other Foules which hee thinketh is better then the noise of Hounds the blast of Horns or all the cry that Hunters Faulkners or Foulers can make and if the Angler doe take fish then hath hée a mercy spirit and a glad heart But who so will vse this exercise hee must rise carely which is profitable to man for the health of his bodie For as the olde English Prouerbe is who so dooth rise carely shall be holie healthie and happie Thus I haue shewed in this Treatise that this disport and game of Angling is the very meane to induce a man to a merrie spirit And to the content of all those that haue delight in these exercises I haue collected this Treatise following which you may vse at your pleasure IF you will bee perfite in this art of Angling you must first learne to make your Implements that is to say your Rod and your Lines of diuers colours This done you must know how you must angle and in what place of the water how déep and at what time of the day and for what maner of Fish and what weather how many impediments there be in fishing and speciallie in Angling and what baite belongeth to euerie fish euerie time of the yeare And how you shall make your baites breede where you shall finde them and how you shall keepe them for the most part How you shall make your Hookes of Steele and of Osmonde some for the Dub some for the Flote and for the ground And here I will teach you how you shall make your Rod you shall cut it betweene Michalmas and Candlemas of an ell and a halfe long beeing the arme of a great Hasell Willow or Aspe and beth him in a whote Ouen and set it euen and straight and let it cole a moneth then take a corde and bind it fast about and binde it to a fourme or to a peece of square timber then take a Plummers wyer that is euen and streight and sharpe the one ende and heate it in the fire and Charcole and burne the hole quite through in the pith beginning at both endes and goe on too the middle you may burne the hole with a Bird broch but let the last broch bée bigger then any of them before then let it lie and coole two daies vnbinde it and let it lie in the smoke or the roufe of a house till it bee through drie In the same season cut a yard of greene Hasell and beth it euen and straigh and let it drie with the staffe and when it is drie make it fit for the hole in the staffe vnto the halfe length of the staffe and to fill the other halfe of the crop take a faire shute of Black thorne Crab tree Medler or els of Iuniper cut in the same season and well bethed and straight and set them fit together so that the crop may enter all into the sayde hole then shaue your staffe and make it Tapar wise then hoope the staffe at both endes with long hoopes of yron or latten after the cleanliest maner and a pike in the nether end fastened with a running wyer to take in and out of your staffe and set your crop a handfull within your vpper end of your staffe in such wise that it bee as biggethere as in anie other place aboue then arme your staffe downe to the fret with a Line of sixe heares and dubble the Line and fret it fast on with a peece of a bowe And thus you shall make you a staffe to walke with and no man may knowe whether you haue such Implements about you It will bée very light and nimble to fish with at your pleasure and is alwaies very ready and necessarie AFter you haue thus made your Rod you must learne to colour your Lines of heare after this manner You must take of a white Horse taile the longest heares you can get and the bigger and rounder it is the better it is depart them in sixe parts and colour euery part by himselfe in diuers colours as yeallowe greene tawnie browne russet or duskie colour And for to make your heare take a good creene colour you must take a quart of Ale and put into it halfe a pound of Allom and put your heare and all together in a little pan and let them boyle sofly halfe an hower then take out your heare and let them drie then take a pottle of faire water and put it into a pan and two handfulles of Wexen and presse it with a Tyle stone and let it boyle softly the space of an hower and when it is yeallowe on the skumme put therein your heares with halfe a pound of Copperous beaten into powder and let it boyle the space of going of halfe a mile and then set it downe and let it coole the space of fiue or sixe howers then take out the heare and drie it and it will bée the best greene for the water that can bee and the more that you put of Copperous to it the better it will be For to make your heare yeallowe DResse it as before with Allom and after with Oldes or Waxen with Copperous or Verdigreace To make another yeallow TAke a pottle of small Ale and stampe thereinto three handfulles of Walnut leaues and put it

will be alwaies heauie and this is the remedie Take a quantitie of the rednesse of Hasell and a little of the powder of Rosen of Pepper somewhat of Ginger and make thereof with fresh grease thrée pellets and hold your Hawke to the fire and when she féeleth the heate make her swallow the thrée pellets by force and knit her beake fast that shée cast it not out againe and this doe thrée times and shée shall be safe Also take Alisander and the Rootes of Primroses and the root Grongnaulles and séeth them in Butter and giue her thrée morselles euery day vntill shée bée whole and looke that she be void when ye giue the medisine Hovv you shall take your Hauke from the aire VVHo so taketh his Hawke from the aire it behoueth him to be wise in bringing her easely and to kéepe her from colde and from hurting of her bones for they bée tender and shée must haue great rest and they must haue as cleane ayre as can bée and alwaies giue her cleane and hot meate and giue her a little and often and chaunge her meate often and cut her meate into small morselles for they should not lyre on bones and then when she beginneth to pen and plumeth and palketh and picketh her selfe put her into a close warme place where no vermin may come into her and let the place be sure from wind and raine and then shée will preue her selfe and euermore giue her good hot meates for it is better for a man to féede his Hawke while shée is tender with meate and to make her good with some cost then to féede her with euill meates to make her vnthriftie with little cost and looke when she beginneth to ferme then giue her baiting A Medisine for vvormes in an Hauke vvhich sicknesse is called the sylanders BEware of this sicknesse the remedie for it is this Take an hearbe that is called Neppe and put it into the gut of a Capon or of an Hen and knit it with a thred and let her receiue it whole and she will be whole and safe Thus you shall know when your Hawke hath wormes in her bellie looke when shée hath casted and then yée shall finde one or two about her casting place if she hath ben with any A Medisine for an Hawke that casteth wormes at her fundament and vvhat vvormes they be TAke the bymaile of yron mingle it with the flesh of Pork giue it two daies to the Hawke to eat she shal be whole A Medisine for an Hauke that hath a sicknesse called the Aggersteyne WHen you see your Hawke hurt her féet with her beake and pulleth her taile then shée hath the Aggersteyne For this disease take the dung of a Doue and the dung of a Shéepe and strong vineger and mingle them softly in a brasen basen and mingle them will together to serue for thrée daies after and giue her flesh of a Culuer with honey and with powder of Pepper and set her in a dark place nine daies and when you sée new feathers on her taile wash her with Verose nine daies and she will be whole A Medisine for an Hauke that hath the Crampe in her vvings and hovv it commeth TAke a white loafe of bread somewhat colder then it comes out of the Ouen and holde the Hawke softly for hurting and cut the loafe almost through and display her wing easely and hold it betwéene the two parts of the loafe and let it be held so the space of halfe an houre and it will helpe her The Crampe commeth to an Hawke by taking colde in her youth therefore it is good for an Hawke to kéep her warme whether she be young or old Let not your Hauke be put into mevv to fat but in this maner as follovveth if you loue her KEepe her well and put her not late in mew for who so for couetousnesse of flying loseth the time of his Hawkes mewing and withholdeth her too long from it hée may after put her to mewe at aduenture for then a part of her mewing time is past Who so putteth his Hawke in mew in the beginning of Lent if she be kept as she ought to be she should be mewed in the beginning of August Hovv you shall dispose and ordaine your mevv SEt and dispose your Mewe in this maner so that no Wesell nor Polcat nor no other Vermine nor that it bée windie or cold nor that it be ouer hot let one part of it stand towards the Sunne so that the most part of the day the Sunne may come to it Also you must tooke that shée bée not troubled with noyse or the singing of men and that no man come to her but only hée that féedeth her you must let her haue a féeding stocke in her mewe and a long string to bind her meate or els shée will carrie her meate about the house and beray it with dust and paraduenture shée will hide it till it stincke and then feede on it which if shée should doe it would bée her death And therfore when it is bound to the féeding stocke then shée will neither at feeding neither at lyring nor at liking nor at rising hurt her selfe and when she hath fedde take away that she leaueth and looke that shée haue fresh at euery meale for of stale and euill meates shée will ingender many diseases and looke that you neuer goe to the mewe but when you carrie her meate or water to bathe her Suffer no raine to wet her at any time if you may and as for her baiting that will nothing hinder her mewing The maner hovv a man shall put his Hawke into the Mevv and is proued ONe thing you must beware of that shée haue no sicknesse before you put her in Mew for as I haue prooued a sicke Hawke shall neuer mewe well but though shée mewe shée shall not endure but when shée is great and fat for at the bating of her estate shée will no longer endure Sometime without any medisine many men deuise how they might mewe their Hawkes for some put them in at high estate and some when they be very low and some when they are emptie and leane but it makes no matter for that if she bée whole neuerthelesse you shall heare mine aduise as I haue séene and proued Whosoeuer putteth a Goshawke a Tercell or Sparrehawke into Mewe so high that shée may bée no higher shée will hold her long ere shée lose and leaue any feathers and who so putteth her into mewe leane it will bée long ere shée remount and who so putteth her in mew too leane and hungrie if shée haue meate at her will shée will eate too much because of hunger and shée is likely to kill her selfe therewith as hath béene often séene but who so will haue his Hawke indure and mew kindly my counsell is that shée bée neither too high nor to lowe nor in destresse of hunger but as shée should best flie but take héede the

Rewme that Haukes haue VVHen you sée your Hawke close her eyes and shake her head giue her Larde of a Gote the first day and the second day giue her Epaticke with the flesh of a Chicken and she shall be whole A medisine for Haukes that be drie and desire to drinke to keepe them moist TAke the iuice of Horehound and wet the Hawkes meat therein and féed her therewith once or twise and she shall be whole A medisine for diseases in the Entrailes TAke yolkes of Egges rawe when they bée well beaten together put to it Spanish Salt and as much Honey and wet therein thy Hawkes meate and feed her therewith thrée daies together and if shee make deintie in eating of it then make her of force to swallow three or foure morselles a day and presently she shall be whole Yet I will tell you another thing Take Honey at the change of the Moone and a sharpe Nettle and make thereof small powder and when it is well ground take the breast bone of an Hen and another of a Culuer and make it small with a knife and doe away the skinne and put powder thereon and all hote with the powder féed her thrée daies and she will be whole For sicknesse of swelling IF a Fellon bee swolne in such sort that a man may heale it the Hawke shall not die Thus a man may helpe her and lengthen her life but the Hawke will be very eger and gréeuous of sicknesse therefore ye must take the root of comfort and of Suger like much then seeth it in fresh greace with the third part of Honey and then draw it through a fayre cloath and then oft giue it to the Hawke and she shall be whole A Medisine for Blaynes in Haukes mouthes called frounces THe frounce is a fearefull disease and draweth her to death and withholdeth her strength and it commeth of cold for cold doth a Hawke much harme To cure her take Fennell Mariall and Serses alike much and séeth them and straine them through a cloth and sometimes wash her head therewith and put some on the roufe of her mouth and she shall be safe A Medisine for an Hauke that casteth her flesh SEeth Raysons in water and weete her flesh therein when it boyleth A Medisine for the Agrum WHen you see your Hawke haue blobbed chéekes then she hath this disease called Agrum therefore take a Néedle of Siluer and heate in the fire and burne the narrelles throughout then annoint it with oile Oliue A Medisine to make a Hauke fat TAke a quantitie of Porke and Honey and Butter alike much and purged greace take away the Skinne seeth them together and annoint the flesh therewith and she will encrease mightily For botches that grow in a Haukes iavv CVt the botches with a Knife and let out the matter and clense it with a siluer Spoone or els fill the hole with the powder of Arne Melit burned into powder and vpon the powder doe a little cloth bespred with hot waxe and so it will away A medisine for an Hauke that vvill not come to reclayme TAke fresh Butter and put into it Suger and put it in a cleane cloath and reclaime her to that and kéepe it in a boxe and put it into your bag A Medisine for Haukes that be refrained VVHen you sée your Hawke to Neese and to cast water thorow her Nostriles then doubtlesse shée is refrained for this disease take the greines of Chaflegre and of pepper and grind it well and temper it with strong vineger and put it to the roufe of her mouth and giue her flesh to eate and shée shall be whole A Medisine for Haukes that haue paines in their Croppes TAke fayre Morfumum and powder of Gilouer and mingle them together and giue it her to eat and if shée hold it past the second day after she shall be whole A medisine for the stone in the fundament VVHen your Hawke cannot mute then she hath this disease called the Stone and for this sicknesse you shall take the heart of a Swine and the greace of a Swine and cut it with the flesh of the heart and she shal be whole A medisine for the drie Frounce FOr this sicknesse take the root of Polipode that groweth vpon Okes and séeth it a great while then take it from the fire let it stand till it be luke warme then wash your Hawkes flesh therein thrée times when you feed her and it will helpe her A medisine for wormes called the Angules TAke pressure of a Lambe that was eyned before his time and make thereof thrée morselles and put it into the gut of a Culuer and féed her therewith and looke that the Hawke be emptie when you giue her the medisine and take the iuyce of Dragons and fill the gut of a Pigion and then cut it as the Hawke may swallow it and knit his beake for casting it vp againe and giue her the ballocks of a Bucke as hote as they be int●●t and make powder of the pissell and cast it vpon the flesh and and she shal be whole Proper tearmes vsed in keeping of Haukes AN Hawke tyreth féedeth gorgeth beaketh rouseth endueth muteth percheth and iouketh

commonly she doth that before she warbleth her The names of Sparhawkes as Ostregers and Speruiters haue determined THere is a question asked whether a man shall call a Spere or a Sparrehawke or an Asper Hawke and Ostregers and Speruiters say shee may bee called all three names for these reasons shée may bee called a Sparrehawke for of all Hawkes that there are shée is most spere that is to say most tender to kéepe For the least misoieting and euill tending of her killeth her and shée may bée called an Asperre Hawke of sharpnesse of her courage and of her looking quicke and also of her flying For she is most aspere and sharpe in all thing that belong vnto her Of all Hawkes she may may bee called a Sparralike for two reasons one is shée spareth

together so make them softer then past and annoint the red worme therewith both for this fish and for others and they will bite much the better thereat all times of the yeare The Pearch is a deyntie fish and passing wholesome and a great and earnest biter In march the red worme the Bob vnder the Cowturde In Aprill and May the Slowthorne worme and the Codworme In Iune the bait that breedeth in an old fallen Oke and the great Canker In Iuly the bait that breedeth on the Ozier leafe and the Bob that breedeth on the dunghill and the Hawthorne worme and the Codworme In August the red worme and Maggots and all the yeare after take the red worme for the best The Roch is an easie fish to take and if he be fat and penned then is hee good meate and his baites are these In March take the red worme In Aprill the Bob vnder the Cowturde In May the baite that breedeth in the Oken leafe and the Bob on the dunghill In Iune the baite that breedeth on the Ozier and the Codworme In Iuly the House spies and the baite that breedeth on an Oke and the Notworme and Mathewes maggots vntill Michalmas and after that the fat of Bakon The Dace is a gentle Fish and is verie good meate in March his haite

Grub on the dunghill In Iuly take house spies and the flies that breede in Pismyre hils the Codworm and Magots till Michaelmas and if the water be cleare you shall take fish when other shall take none and from that time forth do as you would do for the Roch for commonly their biting and baites be alike The bleake is but a feeble fish yet is he holsome His baite from March till Michaelmas bée the same that I haue written for the Roche and the Dace sauing all the sommer you may angle for him with a house flie and in Winter season with Bacon and with other baites as hereafter you shall learne The Ruffe is a very good and a holsome fish and a frée biter but subtill withall and you must angle for him with the same baites and the same seasons of the yeare as I haue tolde you of the Pearch for they bée like in fish and féeding sauing the Ruffe is lesse and therefore you must haue the smaller baytes The Flounder is a holsome fish and frée but a subtill byter in this manner for commonly when he sucketh his meate hée feedeth at the ground and therefore you must angle for him with a ground line lying and hée hath but one manner of bayt and that is a red worme and that is most chiefe for all manner of Fish The Gogin is a good fish of his bignesse and he biteth well at the ground and his baites for all the yeare is the red worme Codworme and Magots and you must angle for him with a flote and let your baite bee neare the bottome or els vpon the ground The Menowe when hée shineth in the water is bitter and though his bodie bee but little yet hée is a rauenous biter and eger and you shall angle for him with the same baites that you doe for the Gogion sauing they must be small The Eele is a quesie fish and a rauenor and a deuourer of the broode of fish and the Pike is also a deuourer of fish I put them both behind all other fish for to angle For the Eele you shall find the hole in the ground of water and it is blewe and blackish there put in your hooke till it bee a foot within the hole and your bait shall be a great angle with a Menowe The Pyke is a good fish but that hée is a deuourer of all fish aswell of his owne broode as of other and therefore I loue him the worse and for to take him ye shall doe thus Take a Rock or a fresh Herring and a wyer with a hooke in the end and put it in at the mouth and downe by the ridge to the taile of the Herring and then put the line of your hooke in after and draw the hooke into the cheeke of the fresh Herring then put a plumbe of leade on your line a yarde from your booke and a flote in the midway betweene and cast it in a pit where the Pykes vse and this is the best and surest way to take and thrée manner of taking of him there is Take a Frosh and put it on your hooke betweene the skinne and the bodie in at the necke on the backe halfe and put on the flote a yard thereto and cast it where the Pyke haunteth and you shall haue him Another way Take the same baite and put it in safe tied and cast it into the water with a Corke and you shall not faile of him And if you minde to haue good sport then tie your cord to a Goose foot and you shall see good haling betweene the Goose and the Pyke who shall haue the hetter Now you knowe with what baites and in what seasons of the yeare you shall angle for euery kinde of fish now I meane to tell you how you shall keepe and feede your quicke baites You shall keepe them all in generall and euerie one seuerall by himselfe with such things as they are bred in and as long as they be quicke and newe they be fine but when they be in a slough or dead then they are nought Out of these bée excepted three broodes that is Hornets Humble bées and Waspes which you shall bake in bread and dip their heades in blood and let them drie Also except Maggots which when they bee bred great with their naturall feeding you shall feede them furthermore with Sheepes tallowe and take heede that in going about your disports you open no mans gates but that you shut them againe Also you shall not vse this sport craftelie for couetousnesse to the increasing and sparing of your money only but principally for your solace and for the maintenance of your bodily health For when you purpose to goe on your disports in fishing you will not desire greatly manie persons with you which might let you of your game and then your minde may bee well giuen to the seruing of God as in prayer or otherwise and in so doing you shall eschewe and auoyde manie vices as Idlenesse which is the principall leader to vice and it is commonly séene that it bringeth diuers to their vtter destruction Also you must not bee too desirous of your game but with discretion that you marre not other mens game and your owne too as too much at one time which you may lightly doe if in euery poynt you fulfill this present treatise but when you haue a sufficient messe to content your selfe for that time Also you shall apply your selfe to the nourishing of the gaine and in destroying of such thinges as shall be the deuourers of it FINIS
