THis engine is called a whippe spring, made and set
to take Buzardes and kites, and commonly set by a
bush side, it may also be set in a plaine, the spring must be
of some growing poale, or some rodde set fast in the ground
where ye thinke best. There is also two stakes set halfe
a yeard a sunder fast in the ground, and that stake with a
crooke, must stand towardes the looce of the spring, and tild
with a clicket, which clicket aboue must stay vnder the
crooke: and the neather end there of must stand in the nicke
of the end of the bridge, which hath a hooke at the other end
about the other stake, which bridge must stand thrée inches
from the ground, and thereon spread your line as ye sée,
with a shooe buckle to slide soone. Then baite your bush side
made some what hollow that she can come no way to the
batte but ouer the bridge: which baite may be a Conies
head, or some eats flesh. Thus much for the spring.
