¶Whan your hawke hath nomme a foule how ye shall do that ye rebuke not the hawke. ¶Lerne well do thynge: and beware therof. whan your hawke hath nomme a pertryche / stonde a good waye of: and come not to nyghe her / And dryue awaye your houndes for rebukynge of her. For many hawkys loue noo houndys. And also many houndes woll benymme theym their game from their fote. and that is peryllous. And whyle your hawke plumyth: come softly Page  [unnumbered] towarde her alwaye nere and nere. And yf she leue plumynge and loke vpon you: stonde styll & cherke her: and whystyll her. tyll she plume ayen. And thus serue her tyll ye be ryght nyghe her. Thenne softe and layserly falle vpon your knees. And pre¦uely whyle she plumyth: sette your honde & be sure of the gesse And thenne ye may guyde all thyng as ye wyll. And yf ye doo ye contrary she woll for fere cary her game: or lete it goo quycke And that is but losse to you and your hawke also.
