BEing requested by a friend of mine to put downe in writing the manner and way how to rule and order his Hawke after hee had drawne her out of the mewe And to make her ready and fit to be flown I consider red with my selfe that it would not bee much more labour or amisse for me huuing some spare and idle time to spend euen to begin with her first as she is wilde liuing in the aire And although it hath been affirmed that the waies and coasts of birds and foules of the aire are altogether vncertaine and not to be distinguished in certaine yet doe not I take it to be meant nor spoken generally of all sorts but onelie of such as liue and abide neere men and little feare the sight or conuersation of men for they care not neithrr couet to be constant in their flight nor secure when they doe rest but euen as it happeneth so are they in safety And because the Haggard faulcon is the birde and hawke that in these daies most men doe couet and desire to prepare and make fit for their pleasure And whereas all other hawkes and of all sorts haue heretofore had their particular praise and commendation for the most part bestowed on them by diuerse writers and onely shee that hath euermore deserued the most The Haggard Faulcon hath had either none at all or else the very least Therefore I doe intend here in this treatise to appoint her as she is wilde to be a great part of the subiect of my discourse and so according to my simple vnderstanding to shew of her nature and disposition In her wildnesse And after how to alter and change the same into loue gentlenesse with subiection to the man and so to rule and gouerne her Lathams Faulconry The first Booke CHAP. I. A short Collection of the natures and names of Hawkes but especially of the Hawgard Faulcon WHereas I remember in Turberuile his booke of Hawking amongst others of his collections there is a description of seauen kindes of Faulcons and for the franknesse of her mettall and courage He prefers the Faulcon gentle as chiefe amongst them all and also sets downe his reason why shee is so called which is as he affirmes for her louing condition and behauiour to the man Also he shewes that she is venturous and strong and full of courage able to brooke and endure all times and seasons no weather doth come to her amis and so as from his Author he giues her his absolute commendation and praise The second as he placeth her is the hawgard faulcon otherwise caled the Peregrine faulcon and in the same place is so termed which title hee might as well and as fitly haue giuen vnto the passenger soare faulcon for she is likewise a traueller though not of so long continuance But concerning the Haggard the author of his worke affirmeth amis of her for he affirmeth that she is a very choise and tender hawke to endure winde and boisterous weather And whereas hee there sheweth a difference between them in calling the one a Faulcon gentle and the other a Haggard faulcon I take it his meaning was that eyther the eias or the ramage hawke of the same and one kinde should bee the faulcon gentle and the Haggard faulcon that was taken wilde hauing prayed for her selfe And it must needs be so howsoeuer I know the Tassell gentle is the male and make vnto them both and therefore hee needed not to haue made any such difference betweene them but rather to haue called or termed them Faulcons gentle togeather or slight Faulcons and to haue Preferred placed the Hawgard first in his booke Either ramage or eias which place indeed she far deserueth beyond the other for shee is more able to endure both wind weather all sorts of other extraordinary seasons as I could shewe you more at large But because I haue a great matter to accomplish and performe I will leaue to speake any more of this point or in this place of any of them for it wold but little or nothing at al auail vs to search or know any more of their titles or names thē we doe already but euen to call them by such as in our memories and at this present are most familiar and ordinarily vsed amongst vs. CHAP. II. A perfect description of the Hawgard Faulcon with the manner and course of her life while shee is wilde and vnreclaimed THis Haggard Faulcon slight or gētle which you list to terme her hath for the most part all places both by Sea and Land left vnto her selfe where to rest and haue her abiding where she best liketh there she continueth certaine like a Conqueror in the contry keeping in awe and subiection the most part of all the Fowle that flie insomuch that the Tassell gentle her naturall and chiefest companion dares not come neere that coast where shee vseth nor sit by the place where she standeth such is the greatnesse of her spirit she wil not admit of any society vntill such time as nature worketh in her an inclination to put that in practise which all Hawkes are subiect vnto at the spring time and then she suffereth him to draw towards her Tc cawke but still in subiection which appeareth at his comming by bowing down his body and head to his foot by calling and cowring with his wings as the young ones doe vnto their dam whom they dare not displease and thus they leaue the countrey for the sommer time hasting to the place where they meane to breede While th●se Hawkes heere mentioned bee remaining with vs in the hart of England they doe pray vppon diuers and sundry sorts of foules as brants wild-geese c. but they are especially the Passenger-soare-Faulcons or the yong Hawgards of great mettall and spirit that for want of vnderstanding their owne harme The brants and wilde geese do venture vpon such

euery way as first in her castings they will haue seldome any store of moisture in them but it will be froathy and roping her mutes will be thicker then ordinarie and shee will be often dropping of them and seldome slice from her which is an euill signe shee will seeme to be subiect to the cray and the frownce her foot and Seare wil be of a dead colour and her pounces will shew the like for the I●t and glassie die thereof will be vanished and gone away and shee will be subiect and disposed vnto much bowsing weathering and bathing Neuerthelesse if this vnnatuarall heat haue not seated it selfe or planted it in other secret places about the lights reines or other of those priuy parts in white specks or such setled curnels like vnto the mazels of a swine there is no doubt but it may be recouered The which to effect you must take the distilled water or waters of borage and buglose together into the which put halfe a dozen sliced cloues to infuse and with the same water on or both you must feed with all and giue it once a day vnto your Hawke with her meat affording her quiet rest and ease withall that shee may haue no cause to increase the disease Also you must be sure as I haue already forewarned you to be circumspect in her diet that it may be of light and coole meat and small gorges thereof and this will amend and helpe her for otherwise there is no Hawke of what kinde soeuer whose griefe proceedes of heate but that one great gorge increaseth the same and preuenteth the best meanes or remedy that you can vse for the amendement of the same CHAP. XVI To kill and destroy the wormes in the body to heat and quicken a cold stomacke that doth not disgest and indue well but thorough the same ingendereth Fellanders and other grosse humors and imperfections in the pannell and guts THis remedy which here I doe commend vnto you is an old medicine the which hath beene vsed a long time and many yeeres agoe and surely what obseruation or vse other men haue made of it I know not neither am here able to recite it but for my selfe I haue vsed and obserued it and haue certainely found it to be a most speciall and present remedy for such things as here I doe commend it and whereas it hath beene aduised to be giuen out of oile steeped for the same I cannot commend it because I haue not vsed it but for trial long agoe when as then I dislik't it and euer since haue left it But in this manner I haue often and alwaies secretly vnto my selfe giuen it when I haue gathered by such signes as I obserued that my Hawke hath beene in this sort diseased At that time of the yeere when wormewood is growne vp If shee will not bowse faile not the next morning after she hath cast her garlicke to giue her stones with a spoonefull of faire water and you shall see her to purge her self vpwards of slime and glut verie much and is moistest then must you prouide a glasse full of the iuice thereof and into the same put a score of cloues of garlicke cleane pilled and pierced thorough in diuers places and there preserue them close and when you haue ocassion to vse them take forth one cloue or two and a little drie them outwardly and so giue them vnto your Hawke at a night with her supper vsing this order for a weeke together and faile not to let her haue water offered her in a dish euery morning or otherwise as you find her condition Then leaue of your garlicke and euery night after when you doe giue her her supper role two or three bits of meat in musterd seed and giue her and let her casting be euer of plummage you may bruse the seed a little if you will but I hold it more naturall to giue it whole and it is a thing more precious then euer it hath beene imagined to be giuen vnto any Hawke It purgeth the head helps disgestion warmes the stomacke prouokes appetite and preuailes much against all cold causes of the body and whensoeuer you giue your Hawke any traine newly taken from the field be not curious to let her take her pleasure on the crop The vertue of musterd-seed for there is the musterd seed most naturall and kind and there is no better phisicke And whereas it hath beene euer thought a thing vnpossible at anie time or by anie meanes to kill and destroy the wormes of the backe I dare vndertake that if it be possible for any man to know assuredly when his Hawke hath them and for the number to ghesse what store of them that they shall neuer encrease together nor grow after but that garlicke and wormewood shall forstall and correct them nay altogether destroy and wast them and that Hawke that is vsed often vnto it shall neuer die of them for if it be possible for any Hawke to draw by her breath in and vnto her any poisoned infection to rot and kill her wherefore then should shee not as well thorough the same passage sucke vp that which is of force to destroy the wormes and so preserue her I see no reason to the contrary knowing that the bellowes draweth so farre as vnto themselues sauours both good and ill and from them by dispersed vaines all along that leades vnto the backe and other places whereas those wormes doe lie is way whereby may passe a senting remedy for to destroy that maladie or infection of those wormes These worms are to be found in blancke plumed Hawks neither shall there be in any other place any wormes able to abide or indure it but it will correct and kill them vnlesse it be those which are the least in shew substance but greatest in strength of nature and of whom I haue already spoken in the former part of this booke and shewed there vnto what sort of Hawkes they doe belong by nature and kind doing no hurt at all The lunges doe draw a breath whereby to coole the heart as it doth lie Also the liuer by that same aire preserued is both fresh and faire But when these bellowes doe decay then health from both doth fade away CHAP. XVII Another very good scowring to giue vnto any imperfect Hawk that is perceiued to haue Fellanders or other imperfections proceeding from the weakenesse of the stomacke TAke some clarified butter that hath beene preserued in rosewater In this is loofing and cleansing of humors it comforteth and drieth superfluous humors it killeth wormes and resisteth putrifaction then take the leafe of rew and of wormewood of equall portions and with a sharpe knife mince them very exceeding small together then temper and mingell them together with browne suger candy and when you haue so done and roled and made fit to be giuen then into a pellet you must put a little of the powder of mirrie and
