betwéene Michaelmas and Candlemas of an ell and a halfe long being the arme of a great Hasell Willow or Aspe and beth him in a hot Ouen and set it euen and straight and let it coole a month then take a cord and binde it fast about and binde it to a forme or to a péece of square timber then take a Plummers wyer that is euen and straight and sharpe the one end and heate it in a fire of Charcole and burne the hole quite through in the pith beginning at both ends and goe on to the middle you may burne the hole with a Bird-broch but let the last broch be bigger then any of them before then let it lye and coole two dayes vnbinde it and let it lye in the smoake or the roofe of a house till it be through drie In the same season cut a yard of gréene Hasell and deth it euen and straight 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 crope take a fayre shute of blacke Thorne Crab trée Medler or else 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 said hole then shaue your staffe and make it Taper-wise then hoope the staffe at both ends with long hoopes of yron or latten after the cleanliest manner and a pike in the neather-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 be as bigge there as in any other place aboue then arme your staffe downe to the fret with a Line of sixe haires and double the Line and fret it fast on with a péece of a bowe And thus you shall make you a staffe to walke with and no man shall thinke that you haue such Implements about you It will be very light and nimble to fish with at your pleasure and is alwaies very readie and necessary AFter you haue thus made your Rod you must learne to colour your Lines of haire after this manner You must take of a white horse tayle the longest haires you can get and the bigger and rounder they are the better it is depart them into sixe parts colour euery part by himselfe in diuers colours as yealow gréene tawnie browne russet or duskie colour And for to make your haire take a good gréene colour you must take a quart of Ale and put into it halfe a pound of Allom and put your haire and all together in a little Pan and let them boyle softly halfe an houre then take out your haires and let them drie then take a pottle of faire water and put it into a Pan and two handfuls of Waxen and presse it with a Tyle stone and let it boyle softly the space of an houre and when it is yealow on the scumme put therein your haires 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 houres then take out the haire and drie it and it will be the best gréene for the water that can be and the more that you put of Copperous to it the better it will be For to make your haire yealow DResse it as before with Allom and after with Oldes or Waxen without Copperous or Verdigrease To make another yealow TAke a pottle of small Ale and stamp thereinto thrée handfuls of Walnut leaues and put it together and then put in your haire till it be as déepe as you will haue it For to make Russet haire TAke a pinte of strong Lée and halfe a pound of Sote and a little iuyce of Walnut leaues and a quart of Alom put them altogether in a Pan and boyle them well and when it is cold put in your haire till it be as darke as you will haue it To make your haire browne TAke strong Ale and Salt and mingle them together and put your haires two dayes and two nights and they will be a perfect colour For to make a tawnie colour TAke Lime and Water and put them together and then put your haires 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 haire you shall kéepe still white for lines for the double hooke to fish for the Trout and for small lines to lie for the Roch and the Dace When your haire is thus collected you must know for which waters and which seasons they shall serue the gréene colour for all cleare waters from Aprill vntill September The yealow colour in euery cleare water from September to Nouember For it is like the Wéeds and other kinde of grasse that is broken in the Riuer The russet colour serueth all the Winter vntill the end of Aprill as well in Riuers as in Pooles or Lakes The browne colour serueth for the water that is blackish in Riuers or other Waters the tawny colours for those Riuers or Waters that be heathy or moorish Now you must make your lines after this order First you must haue an instrument for the twisting of your line Take your haire and cut a handfull at the end because it is not strong enough then turne the top to the tayle ouer each alike and make it into thrée parts knit euery 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 foure fingers shorter then your haire then twine your warpe one way alike and fasten them in thrée clifts alike straight then take that out at the other end and let it twine that way that it desireth then straine it a little and knit it for vndoing and that is good So when you haue so many 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 off the voyd shore ends a straw breadth from the knot thus shall your lines be fayre and euen and also sure for any manner of Fish The finest practise is in making your hookes and for the making of them you may haue your seuerall kinde of tooles that you may doe them artificially A séemy clam of yron a bendor a payre of long and small tongues and a knife somewhat hard and thicke an Anuill and a little Hammer And for a small Fish you shall take the smallest quarrell Néedles that you can finde of Steele and you shall put the Quarrell in a fire of Charcole till it be of the same colour that the fire is then take it

out and lay it to coole and you shall finde it well alaide to file then raise the beard with your knife and make the point sharpe then alay him againe or else he will breake in the bending then bend him as he will serue for your purpose you shall make them of great Néedles as Shoomakers Néedles Taylers Néedles or Imbroderers Néedles but looke that they will bow at the point or else they be not good and when you haue beaten flat the end of the hooke fyle him smooth that it fret not the line then put it into the fire and giue it an easie red heat then suddenly quench it in water and it will be hard and strong And for to haue knowledge of your Instruments that be necessary without the which you are not able to accomplish your desire that is your Hammer Knife Pinson Claem Wedge File Wrest and a Néedle 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 be for a great hooke then double it and twist it and for a small hooke let it be single and therewith fret the line whereas you will haue the hooke stand a straw breadth then set to your hooke and fret it with the same thrid the two parts of the length that it shall be fret in all and when you come to the third part then turne the end of your line vp againe double to the other third part then put your thrid in at the hole twise or thrise and let it goe each time about the yard of your hooke then wet the hooke and draw and looke that your line lye euermore within your hookes and not without and then cut of the lines end and the thrid as nigh as you can sauing the fret Thus you know with how great hookes you shall angle to euery Fish now I will tell with how many haires you shall angle for euery Fish First for the Menow with a line of one haire for the waring Roch the Bleake the Gudgeon and the Ruffe with a line of two haires for the Dace and the Roch with a line of thrée haires for the Pearch the Flounder and Bremet with a line of foure haires for the Cheuin the Breame the Tench and the Eele with sixe haires for the Trout and the Grasing Barbell and the great Cheuin with nine haires for the great Trout with twelue haires for the Salmon with fiftéene haires and for a Pike with a chalke line made in the colour aforesaid armed with a line as you shall heare hereafter When I speake of the Pyke your lines must be plumed with leade and the nerest plumbe to the hooke be a foote off at the least and euery plumbe of the quantitie of the bignesse of the line There be thrée manner of plumbes for a ground line renning for the flote set vpon the ground line lying ten plumbes all ioyning together on the ground line renning nine or tenne small the floate 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 flotes in this manner Take a péece of a Corke that is cleane without holes and bore it through with a small hot yron and put thereinto a quill or pen euen and straight alwayes note that the greater the hole the bigger the pen and shape it great in the middest and small at both ends especially sharpe in the nether end and make them smooth on a Grindstone and looke that the flote for one haire be no bigger then a Pease for two haires as a Beane for twelue haires as a Walnut and so euery line must haue according to his portion All manner of lines that be not for the ground must haue flotes and the renning ground line must haue a flote and the lying ground line must haue a flote NOw I haue taught you to make your haires hereafter I meane to shew you the Art of Angling You shall vnderstand that there is thrée manner of anglings the one is at the ground for the Troute and other Fish an other is at the ground at the Arch or stang where it ebbeth and floweth for Bleake Roch and Dace the third is with a flote for all manner of Fish the fourth with a Menowe for the Trout without plumbe or flote the fift is renning in the same for the Roch and Dace with two haires or one haire and a flye the sixt is a dubbed hooke for the Troute or Grayling And for the first and principall poynt in Angling looke that you kéepe you from the sight of the Fish either stand close on the land or behinde some Bush for if he sée you then your sport is marde for he will not bite and looke that you shadowe the water as little as you can for it is that which will make him be gon for if the fish be fraide he will not bite a good while after For all manner of Fish that féede by the ground you must Angle for them to the bottome so that your hooke shall runne and lye on the ground and for all other Fish that féedeth aboue you shall Angle for them at the middest of the water or aboue the midst or below the middest whether ye will for the greater the Fish the nearer he lieth to the bottome of the water and euermore the smaller the Fish the more he swimmeeh aboue The third good poynt is when the Fish biteth that you be not too hastie to smite nor to take for you must abide till the bayte be farre in the mouth of the Fish and then tarry no longer and this is for the ground and for the flote when you sée it pulled into the water or else caried softly vpon the water then smite and looke that you neuer ouer-smite the strength of your line for breaking and if it be your fortune to smite a great Fish with a small line then you must leade him in the water and labour him there till he be drowned and ouerc●●e then take him as well as you can and euer take héede that you straine him not ouer the strength of your line and as much as you can let him not goe past your lines end from you but kéepe him euer vnder your Rod and hold him as straight as your line will sustaine and beare his leapes and his plunges as well as you can with your Crope and your hand Here I will declare vnto you in what place of the water you shall angle either in Poole or standing water and according to the deepenes of the said water THere is no great diuersitie in any place of a Poole so it be déepe for it is a prison to all fishes and therefore the sooner taken but in the Riuer the best Angling is where it is déepe and cleare by the ground as grauell or clay without

within an Oke and Oke apples and make iuyce of them and wet her flesh therein that she eateth and féede her thrée or foure times and it will make her leaue that A Medicine for an Hawke that hath the Tanie A Hawke that hath the Tanie a man may soone know if he take héede for this is her manner she will pant more for one baiting then some will doe for thrée or foure and if she should flye a little while she would almost lose her breath whether she be fat or leane and she 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 and somewhat of Ginger and make thereof with fresh greace three 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 she cast it not out againe and this doe thrée times and she shall be safe Also take Alisander and the Roots of Primroses and the roote Grongnaulles and séeth them in Butter and giue her thrée morsels euery day vntill she be whole and looke that she be empty when ye giue the medicine How you shall take your Hawke from the Erye VVHo so taketh his Hawke from the Erye it behoueth him to be wise in bringing her easily and to kéepe her from cold and from hurting of her bones for they be tender and she must haue great rest and they must haue as cleane ayre as can be 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 morsels for they should not tyre on bones and then when she beginneth to pen and plumeth and pruneth and picketh her selfe put her into a close warme place where no Vermine may come in to her and let the place be close from winde and rayne and then she will some her selfe and euermore giue her good hot meates for it is better for a man to féede his Hawke while she is tender with good 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 some then giue her bathing A Medicine for wormes in a Hawke which sickenesse is called the Fylanders BEware of this sickenesse the remedie for it is this Take an herbe that is called Neppe and put it into the gut of a Capon or of an Hen and knit it with a thréed and let her receiue it whole and she will be whole and safe Thus you shall know when your Hawke hath wormes in her belly looke when she hath cast and then ye shall finde one or two about her casting place if she hath within her any A Medicine for an Hawke that casteth wormes at her fundament and what wormes they be TAke the lymayle of yron and mingle it with the flesh of Porke and giue it two daies to the Hawke to eate and she shall be whole A Medicine for an Hawke that hath a sicknesse called the Aggersteyne VVHen you sée your Hawke hurt her féete with her beake and pulleth her tayle then she 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 brazen bason and mingle them welll 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 darke place nine dayes and when you sée new feathers on her tayle wash her with Verose nine daies and she will be whole A Medicine for an Hawke that hath the Crampe in her wings and how it commeth TAke a white Loafe of bread somewhat colder then it comes out of the Ouen and hold the Hawke softly for hurting and cut the Loafe almost through and display her wing easily 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 cold in her youth therefore it is good for an Hawke to kéepe her warme whether she be young or old Let not your Hawke be put into mewe to fat but in this manner as followeth if ye loue her KEepe her well and put her not late in mew for who so for couetousnes of flying loseth the time of his Hawkes mewing and with-holdeth her too long from it he may after put her in mew 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 which is the best time of all other How you shall dispose and ordaine your mew SEt and dispose your mew in this manner so that no Wesell nor Pole●t nor no other Vermine annoy it nor that it be 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 looke that she be not troubled with noyse or the singing of men that no man come to her but onely he that féedeth her you must let her haue a féeding stocke in her mew and a long string to binde her meate or else she will carry her meat about the house and beray it with dust and peraduenture she will hide it till it stinke and then féede on it which if she should do it would be her death And therefore when it is bound to the féeding stocke then she will neyther at féeding neyther at tyring nor at lighting downe nor at rising hurt her selfe and when she hath fed take away that she leaueth and looke that she haue fresh at euery meale for of stale and euill meats she will ingender many diseases and looke that you neuer go to the mew but when you carry her meat or water to bath her Suffer no rayne to wet her at any time if you may and as for her bathing that will nothing hinder her mewing This mew would notwithstanding the warmth and closenesse haue a conuenient place from some window built aboue a yard outward and at least a yeard and a halfe square which would be onely lathed of an indifferent widenesse without any loome so as the ayre might fréely come in thereat for this must be the place where your Hawke in the heate of Summer may weather her selfe which is as comfortable as any meat whatsoeuer Besides your mew must neuer be without store of Hawkes stones of all fises of sand grauell and gréene tuffes for it is both wholesome and naturall for a Hawke to féede vpon the gréene grasse yet they must be often changed and so must the water in which she batheth the tubbe being large and not aboue fiue inches in depth at
