TO make your Falcon a good Hearoner, you must set her very sharpe, and haue a liue Hearon, whereof you shall make your hawk a quarrey in this sort. In the morning when it shall be time to feede your Hawke, if you perceiue that she be very sharpe set, goe to a meadow, and let the Hearon goe after that you haue bruised both his féet and his hill, and hide your selfe behind some bush: and then he which holdeth the Hawke shall vnhood her, the which shalbe vnder the wind. And if your Hawke will not flée at the Hearon, cast out your lure the which you shall hold in a readinesse therefore: but if shée doe seaze on the Hearon, make her a quarrey thereon, giuing her first the heart, and when she hath eaten it, giue the Hearon to him which held the Hawke before, who retyring backe a little shall lure, tossing the Hearon about his head, holding her by one of the legges or winges: then doe you vnhood your hawke againe, and let her flie to him which lureth so with the Hearon, and let him not cast it out vnto her, but stay vntyll shée take and seaze it in his hand as he lureth with it: then despoyle the breast of the Hearon, and let your Hawke féede vpon it, & take the marrow of the bone in the Hearons wing, and giue it your Hawke: and in this doing two or three dayes, you shall now sle your Hawke therevnto, and make her loue the Hearon, the which you shall also bring the sooner to passe, if at the first you inure her with a make Hawk a good Hearoner. Then hauing found the Hearon at siege, you must gette you with your Falcon vp into some high place, into the wind, and let him which hath the Hearoner (that is the make Hawk) put vp the Hearon, and when he hath cast off his Hawke to her, let him marke whether the Hearon doe mount or not, for if she mount, then cast not off your Hawke, nor vnhood her not, but if the Hearon séeme to be discomfited, and that shée fall downe into the water, and that the make Hawke doe stoops her, then vnhood your yong Hawke, and aduance her: if shée bate to bée gone, let her flée to it.
