To make a Falcon know the Lure.

AFter that your Falcon hath twice or thrice thus killed a pullet in som secret place, then must you make her know the lure in this wise, Fasten a pullet vnto your lure, and goe a part. Then giue your Falcon to holde vnto some other man, who may draw loose the strings of her hoode in a readines. And when you are gone a little backe from him, take your lure at halfe the length of the string, and cast it about your head once or twice luring with your voyce also. Then let that other vn∣hood your hawke, whiles you throw out the lure not far from your hawke, luring and crying stll vnto her. And if your hawk doe stoope to the lure, and seaze the pullet, suffer her to plume her, coying her, and luring still with your voyce. Then let her féede on the pullet vpon the lure, and afterwards take her vp∣pon your fiste together with her meat, and hoode her suffering her to plume and tyre, as is before said.
