THis Engine is called a fall or trappe to take Buzardes
and Kytes, which is after this sort, ye shall set a hur∣dell
on the ground where ye thinke good. Which hurdell is
holden vp before with a crooked sticke, and that crooked

sticke holden vp with a forked stick put vnder him, which forked sticke must stand loose on the ground, without the neather bridge or forked sticke. Also in setting vp the nea∣ther end of the crooked stick that holdes vp the hurdell, must be made small and slightly put into the clift of the forked bridge and sticke: which forked sticke is made fast, and tide with two thréedes to the ground, vnder the backe of the hurdell, as ye may easely perceiue: and when yee doe tile or set it vp, it shall be good with the crooked stickes end, to let the bridge stande a handfull hie from the ground, and put therein the ende of your crooked sticke as tickle as yée can, that when any thing comes to take the baite and treades it downe, the hurdell falles suddenly on them.
