wings at the down-come, as from the fist, and aforehead, and will flée all other kinds of greater fowles, as those which are tearmed birds of Paradise, fowles more large then the Hearō. Moreouer shée is good to flée the shoueler, a fowle like the Hearon, but somewhat lesse, the wilde Goose, and such o∣therlike fowles, and therefore is excellent at the riuer or brook. If you take the Falcon Gentle an eyesse, you may boldly flée the Crane with her, but if shée be not an Eyesse, shée will ne∣uer be so hardy as to venture on the Crane. And therefore being an Eyesse, and neuer séeing, nor knowing any other lesse fowle then the Crane, if you cast her off to the Crane, she forthwith thinketh it to be a fowle fit for her, and by meane thereof fléeth the Crane very well, and becommeth a very good Crane fléer, for hawks commonly proue eyther cowards, or hardie after they are first quarred.
