and rayseth and stirreth hir courage, making hir prowde and ramage. So that she leeseth the eagernesse of hir appetite, and remembreth it not, thinking on nothing else but to soare and gadde abroade, whereby she may be easily loste. Furthermore, towardes the euening she cānot soare so far away from you, (although she should soare) as she would do in the heate of the daye, bycause the night will enforce hir to go to the perche and stande. Also to enter your Sparowhawke, it shall be beste to seeke out some champaygne countrie, farre from the wooddes, and let hir be vnhooded when the Spaniels be vncoupled, then if the Partridge spring, and she bate, cast hir off, if they spring neare you. And if she kill, reward hir (vpon the grounde) of the heade, braynes, necke, and breaste of the Partridge. When she hath fedde, take it from hir, and vnseaze hir, and gette vpon your horse a good waye from hir. Then whistle and call hir, and if shee come vnto you, rewarde hir better. Aboue all things, you muste take good heede that she fayle not hir firste flyghte at greate birdes, leaste shee turne tayle, and accustome hir selfe to smaller game.

If you finde that she haue most minde to flee Larkes, lette hir flee them, and rewarde hir on them. For there is no flyghte pleasaunter than the flyghte of the Sparowhawke at the Larke. And for as muche as the fleshe and bloude of Larkes is hotte and burning, it shall bee good when you flee the Larke, to gyue your hawke washte meate twyce in a weeke, and plumage very often. But gyue hir no plumage that daye that shee hath washte meate, nor the daye that she batheth. When there is a knotte of good companie mette togither, and euery man hath his Sparowhawke, if one of thē see his Sparowhawke flee whē another is also from the fiste, there beginneth the pastime, & yet they may flee togither. But it is a pleasure to take a Larke lowring, or clyming. Or if a Sparowhawke haue beatē downe a Larke, or that ye Larke be
