AN APPROVED TREATISE OF Hawkes and Hawking Diuided into three Bookes The first teacheth How to make a short-winged Hawke good with good conditions The second How to reclaime a Hawke from any ill condition The third teacheth Cures for all knowne griefes and diseases By EDMVND BERT Gentleman LONDON Printed by T. S. for Richard Moore and are to be sold at his shop in S. Dunstans Church-yard 1619. TO THE RIGHT HONOVRABLE HENRY Earle of Oxenford Viscount Bulbecke Lord Sanford and Scales and Lord Great-Chamberlaine of ENGLAND MY Honourable Lord I neuer affected flattery if I had I should now haue beene much disappointed for your noble worth exceeds what I can say To particularize your honourable Titles or here to blazon your excellencies were needlesse and shall rather be printed in my faithfull heart then published by my ruder pen especially vpon the dedication of so slight a subiect Sir I haue long waited for opportunity this great while whipt occasion on whereby I might tender some open testimonie of my loue before I dye which may remaine as a perpetual memoriall of my euerdeuoted seruice To that end my Lord I haue runne backe into my younger yeares to summon the delights of my able youth together with the fruits of my more experienced age comprised within a few leaues to attend your Lordships leasure and humbly to craue your Honours patronage To arrogate to my selfe by an immoderate commendation of the Worke were poore to derogate too much from it through modesty were as silly Therefore not to be excessiue in the one nor too liberall in the other I would with your honourable fauour doe you thus much to vnderstand As for the subiect it is not waighty being but a Treatise of sport and to attend and to giue place to your Lordships honourable affaires and more serious imployments but as for the handling of the Subiect I dare and will boldly say and auerre it is good Nay I will submit my selfe to partiall censurers vpon due triall and bazard my reputation vpon true iudgement My Lord I frame not my wauering surmizes vpon probabilities of sic dicunt but I ground my constant opinion vpon certainty of probatum est Nor can I quote any Author but my selfe and out of my owne industrious experiments I first extracted my owne conclusions I reape no mans haruest but plough with my owne Heifer In fine I here dedicate to your Lordship the delights of my Childe-hood the pleasures of my youth the experiments of my age my faithfull though painefull labours my fruitfull though slight indeauours myselfe my continuall seruice and obseruance to your truely-noble Selfe humbly requesting your Honour not to be ashamed to Patronize that which your seruant is not afraid to present And that shall crowne my poore indeauours and giue my labours an eternall sufficit and make me euer rest Your Lordships humbly deuoted EDMVND BERT To the friendly Reader FRiendly Reader I did neuer purpose to publish in common these my labours but to haue giuen them priuately to whom they are dedicated and to whom I stand deuoted but being discouered to some of my friends and by them made knowne to many of the rest there importunities and earnest perswasions haue made mee put it to the presse whereby I shal be sensured of such as haue lest Iudgement but let it answere for it selfe I haue not set down any thing so erronious but being well examined it will proue iudicious and although this subiect hath already beene dealt withall and well handled by a Gentleman of good experience whose good and probable discourse might be a meanes to hinder my proceeding herewith yet a great many gentlemen to whom the goodnesse of my hawkes haue beene knowne to be such as that they could not be bettered doe strongly inforce it that my Skill Art knowledge must be in the same degree In truth I haue not kept any hawke aboue three yeeres but I haue put them off for much money besides many thanks and much loue I had for a Goshawke and a Tarsell a hundeed Marks both solde to one man within sixteen moneths I know there are many of good experience will ouerlooke this my booke and some that are young professors and some that would learne to professe but whatsoeuer he be that vndertaketh this profession I will wish him an able body a quicke spirit and most of all an earnest loue and delight thereunto to such a man a hawke will quickly teach knowledge but of him that wanteth wit shee will make a foole and of a dull-spirit a true pack-horse If these good properties shall be wanting in a man he is hardly to be made a good Austringer and it will be hard for him to make a good hawke I would I were able to deliuer plainely what I vnderstand I will set downe as familiarly as I can the best instructions I am able but knowledge and vnderstanding louing practitioner must be gotten by thy diligent and carefull obseruing thy hawke in her sundry passions and sudden toyes such vigelance such diligence and such carefulnesse will worke such an apprehension in thee as in a little time thy knowledge and vnderstanding will bring forth such effect as that thou wilt be able to preuent all her ill intendments I cannot set downe what thy experience will teach thee but I rest to giue thee fullersatisfaction by conference then I haue herein or can possibly publish Farewell From my house at Collier-Row neere Rumford Thine to his power
