which are good to flee the field, are first entred by the Spani∣els, and as well accustomed to know them by the haire and proportion, as they know their prey by the feathers and flight: and secondarily, they are also entred by customary know∣ledge of their prey, and therefore it is not lightly possible that this kind of pastime should be perfectly handled, vnlesse the dogs and Hawkes be so well acquainted and knowne one to the other, that each of them do loue others, for although na∣turally the Hawke be hardly entred to become familiar with the dogges, and will not lightly, nor at the first loue them, yet maruaile you not thereat, for in the end all field Hawkes will loue them, and become familiar with them, but to bring that to passe, you must continually beare your Hawke amongst Spaniels, and acquaint her with them, that shée may the bet∣ter abide them, and that being doone, the oftener that your Hawke flée the field, the truer you shall find my opinion: and surely you may easily haue good hawks to the field, if you kéepe them in good order and dyet as reason requireth, giuing them vpon their first, second, and third prey, a reasonable good gorge, and afterwards you may withdraw and abate your reward by little and little, to make your hawke the easier forget it, for by that meanes you shall make your hawke know her liue fowle the better, if you reward her with the head and braynes of the fowle taken, and so of euery one which she shall slay, vntill you would giue her a gorge, at time and houre conuenient, and by that meanes, you may haue a good field Hawke vnlesse the fault be your owne.
