A Devise and Remedie for you, when the Eagle doth molest and hinder your game in Hawking.

FInde the meanes to gette an Eagle, and séele vp her eyes, but yet in such sort, as she may haue a little sight to aspire and clime to her mountée, into whose tuell and fundament, conuey a little Assa fetida, and sow vp the place. Then tye to her legges, eyther a wing, a péece of flesh, or a redde cloth, which the other Eagles may coniecture to be flesh, and so let her slye. For then will shée in her flight, for her owne safety and assurance, pull downe all the other Eagles from their stately gate and pitch, which otherwise she would neuer doe, were it not for the paine of that which is conueighed into her tuell.
