WHen a Falcon hath learned to féede, and to know the call of her Kéeper: then to make her hardy, you shall suffer her to plume a pullet or good great chicken. And you shal goe into some close place, where shée may not sée ouermuch light, as before said, where loosing her hood, in a readinesse you must haue a liue pullet in your hand, & knéeling on the ground, luring and crying aloud vnto her, make her plume and pul the pullet a little. Then with your teeth drawing the strings, vn∣hoode her softly, suffering her to plume and plucke it with her beake twice or thrice more, cast out the pullet vpon the ground before her. Then must you with raysing or holding down your fist, encourage her vntill she leape down vpon the Pullet, and seaze it. Then when shée beginneth to breake it, and to take blood, you shall lure & cry aloud vnto her, and encourage her by all the means that you can, féeding her vpon the ground. And therewithall you shal take her vp gently and nimbly with the pullet in her foot, whereon let her plume, and féed now and then a little. Then hoode her gently, and at last giue her tyring of a wing, or a foot of the said pullet.
