To make a Hawke inward at the River, when shee raketh out.

IF it chance that your Hawke rake out with a fowle, and cannot recouer it, and in the end giues it ouer, and comes in againe directly vpon the man, then shall you doe well to cast her out a séeled Ducke. And if shée stoope it, or trusse it, crosse the wings, & suffer her to take her pleasure, rewarding her, and giuing her the heart, braines, tongue, and liuer, with a legge or two, according as you sée occasion. And for default of a quicke Ducke, take her downe to the dry lure, and let her plume a pullet, and feed her vpon it. Thus doing, your hawke will learne to giue ouer a fowle that rakes out, and hearing the Kéeper lure, shée will learne the better to hold in the head, and to make backe againe to the riuer.
