WHen your Hawke will kill a traine lustily, and bold∣ly, then may you goe into the field to finde a wilde Hearon at siege, and when you haue found her, win in as nie to her as you can, and goe with your Hawke vnder the wind, where hauing first loosed her hoode in a readinesse, as soone as the Hearon leaueth the siege, off with her hoode, and let her flée: and if shée clime to the Hearon, and beat her so that shée bring her down, runne in apace to rescue her, thrusting the Hearons bill into the ground, and breaking her wings & legges (as is aforesaide) féede her and reward her vpon your hawking gloue, in manner before declared. But if your hawk should fayle to beate downe the hearon, or doe giue him ouer, then shall you flée the Hearon no more with her, vnlesse it be with some other make hawke, which is well entred, and in good fléeing. And thereby the vnskilfull hawke séeing that o∣ther Hawke flée at the Hearon, and bind with her, will take courage and flée eake with that other make-Hawke, eyther little or much, and if they kill the Hearon, then should they be fedde and rewarded together while the quarrey is hot, ma∣king them an Italian Soppa as before said. And by this means the coward hawke may be made bold and perfect: But if it chance that any lusty roysting hawke will flée the Hearon of herselfe without trayn, or the Shoueler, the Falconer should let her foote it, plume and breake it vntill shée find blood, and should giue her the Soppa, as Falconers do tearm it, for so they will become much bolder, and the better Hearoners also. But hee that will worke surelie to enter his Hawke at the Hearon, let him helpe her by any practise or means that he can deuise: and these bee the means and preceptes to make a Falcon a good Hearoner.
