For some of them do prey vpon the foule, by stooping downe from their winges, and so seazing on the foule with their foote, doe breake in sunder with their beakes the neck bone, being of more force and strength in that part, then in the foot or tallons. And this sort of Hawkes do neuer vse to plume or the vypon the fowle whom they haue seazed, vntil such time as they per∣ceiue it to leaue busking and bating in the foote: of which kind and qualytie are,
- 1 The Eagle.
- 2 The Mylion.
- 3 The Gerfalcon.
- 4 The Falcon.
- 5 The Merlin.
- 6 The Hobbie.
- 7 The Ma∣tagasse.
Now that other sort which I speake of, doe slay their prey and game by maine force of wing, at randon & before heade, not stouping at all from their wings, as the other Hawkes do, whome I made mention of before. And thiefe Hawkes haue their chefe force and strength in the foote, and not in the ieake, and therefore no sooner doe seaze vpon the prey, but presentlie they giue themselues to plume and tire thereon Of this sort are,
- 1 The Goshawke.
- 2 The Tiercel of the Goshawke.
- 3 The Sparowhawke.
Thus farre haue I made a generall diuision of all kindes of Hawkes that doe liue by prey: and again (as you sée) haue di∣uided those kinds into two parts. Wherefore now doe I pur∣pose to deale more specially in the matter, and more particu∣larly to procéede to the natures of enerie of them, to yéeld you a more perfect knowledge, and light therein.
