THe traynes which you vse to giue soare Goshawkes and Nyasses, are not so requisite for a haggart. For the Soare∣hawkes and Nyasses when they are made to the fist, & to seaze a pullet vpon the ground, wil then abide & neuer soare away, and may immediatly be flown withall at a Partridge, so that you beare a liue traine Partridge with you to serue her if néed be, as hath been heretofore declared in entring of other hawks.
And the principal point of consideration is, that you encourage any hawke well at the first. In fléeing with a Goshawke, it hapneth oftentimes that fléeing in the snow, and killing their prey vpon the ground, they fill their belles with snow, so that the Falconer canot tell where to finde them. At such times then, fasten a bell vpon the two couert feathers of your Hawkes Stearne or Trayne, and that aloft neare to her rumpe. For so doe the Falconers of Dalmatia vse at all times of the yeare to flée with their Hawkes. And it is a good meane to know at all times where, and what is become of your Hawke.
