To flee with the Merlyne at the. Partridge.
IF you will flée with the Merlyne at Partridge, chuse the formall, which is the larger, for they onely will proue good thereunto. And in trayning or making the Iacke, you should but loose your time. When you haue made the formall Mer∣line to the lure, in maner before described, and that shée will likewise abide the hoode, you must make her a traine with a Partridge, if you can get any, if not, then with some other liue bird, in such order as hath béene set downe to trayne o∣ther hawkes. And if shée foote and kill it, then reward her, suf∣fering her to take her pleasure on it, &c. This being done, you may straightwayes flee with her the wild Partridge: and if shée take it at the first flight (which seldome hapneth,) or if shée flée it, to mark and take it at the second flight, being retry∣ued by the Spaniels, féede her vpon it with a reasonable gorge, chéering her with your voyce in such sort, that she may know the same. But if she proue not hardy at the first traine, then you shall doe well to proue her with another train, before you flée with her at the wild game. But if at the second traine she proue not hardy, it is a token that shee is cowardly, and nothing worth. (∵)
