I Will now write somewhat of the Sparowhawke, for that shée is in her kind, and for that game that her strength will giue her leaue to kill, a very good hawke, and much vsed in Fraunce. And besides, he that knowes wel how to manne, re∣clayme, and flée with the sparowhawke, may easily knowe how to kéepe, and deale with all other Hawkes. Moreouer, it is a Hawke that serues both winter and summer, with great pleasure, and the game that shée fléeth is ordinarie, and common to be had, and shée will generally flée at all kinde of game more then the Falcon, or then any other kinde of hawke will. And the winter Sparowhawke, if she proue good, will kill the Pye, the Iaw, the Chough, the Woodcock, the Thrush, the black-birde, the Felfare, and sundry other sortes of birdes.
