An Observation.

IF a man doe well, he should neuer take the Falcons out of the Eyrie, till time they be fully summed & hard penned, or if hée do happely commit that errour, hée should not man her, but presently cause her to be conueighed and placed in an Ey∣rie that most doth resemble the Eyrie of a Hawke, if hée may conueniently come by any such, and there bréed her, and feede her with good flesh, such as the flesh of Pullets, Chickens, Pigeons, and such like, for otherwise her wings will not grow to any perfection, and her legs and other parts would quicklie be broken & waxe crooked, and her traine feathers, and for the most part, all her long feathers and flags be full of taints.
