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

superfluity and aboundance of that naturall moistnes and glut which would if it were not corrected staied and kept in order breed and cause to grow in her many infirmities Likewise this her example may giue aduice vnto all Faulconers that when they haue taken these poore birds from their liberty and as it were from themselues into their owne custody that then they be not sparing of their best indeuours towards them but be alwaies diligent and watchfull to order and gouerne them according to their naturall kind and inclination vsing them louingly and kindly and giuing them their dues rightly and in due time For as whatsoeuer it be that is performed in good order and at conuenient seasons is likely to prooue succesfull in the end so that which is vndertaken rashly without order Then wee should haue no need to vse any medicines at al and at a time vnfitting seldome or neuer comes to good nor deserues any commendation but rather the indiscretion and folly of such hare-braind and witlesse attempters will be scorned at and despised by euery vnderstanding and skilfull Faulconer And to conclude this point as there is nothing more hurtfull to mans life then to follow the counsell of an vnskilfull Phisician so likewise there is nothing doth sooner cast away and destroy your Hawke then to commit her to the custody of a Keeper that wants art and discretion I haue not hitherto set downe any thing which I haue receiued either by aduice or instruction from any man this thirty yeares but out of mine owne practise and experience neither out of any booke written or printed although I neuer met with so vaine a one but I could find in my selfe a will and desire to read it though all my profit by it after were to blesse me from being of his humor that writ it And so likewise shall I my selfe be contented to haue this my paines and labour perused and by them more auncient and experienc't then my selfe both censured and corrected Thus haue I written and discoursed of the Haggard Faulcon gentle First of the manner of her life or course of liuing while shee is abroad in the open aire either here in England or els where during the time of her wildnes all which I haue spoken by that experience which I haue woon and attained vnto not onely by serious obseruations but also by great and continuall labour and industrie which I haue vsed in seeking to find and take them And I haue likewise shewed you the meanes how to vse them at the instant when by cunning and subteltie you haue beguiled and taken them and how by skill and art euer after to order and gouerne them changing by your wit and watchfull diligence their naturall timeritie and wildnes into loue and gentlenes Further you haue been taught how you may by skill teach them to flye and make them pliant and seruiceable for your vse and pleasure And lastlie those whose selfe conceits doe not hinder them from being rul'd by reason may here be sufficientlie instructed how to keep and maintaine them in health without any medicine scowring or other inward appliments vnlesse it be by such meanes and remedies as nature and kind hath taught them for the helping and curing of those griefes and infirmities which they are subiect vnto Notwithstanding being certainely perswaded that these my friendlie admonitions being grounded vpon the absolute truth of vnfallible experience will not rellish nor tast kindlie in the stomacke of many yong men neither will it sincke into the heads of such whose working braines are neuer at quiet till like vnto the experienc't Phisician they haue tried conclusions though it be with the losse of their poore patients liues I doe intend therefore partlie for the satisfaction of such but especiallie for the helpe and instruction of all those who shall haue Hawkes come into their hands that by former bad vsage are made subiect vnto manie infirmities hereafter to set downe in the most exact manner my skill and experience will permit such and so many kinds of medicines and scowrings as I haue found by mine owne practise being produced to vse them by the foresaid occasions haue wrought effectually in curing all diseases incident to Hawkes inwardlie together with a rehearsall of such accidentall imperfections as I haue obserued to come and grow vpon a Hawke with their seuerall remedies how to cure them outwardlie But before i doe proceed any further in the same it will not bee amisse that I doe speake a little of one other kinde of Hawke in particular and shew you of the excellency of her nature and disposition and how shee ought to be ordered and gouerned according to the same CHAP. XVI Of the Ger-Faulcon THe Ger-Faulcon is the Hawke I now intend to write on A Bird stately braue and bewtifull to behold in the eye and iudgement of man more strong and powerfull then any other vsed Hawke and many of them very bold couragious valiant and very venterous next vnto the slight Faulcon of whose worthinesse I haue already sufficiently discoursed The Haggard of that kinde is most commendable meetest to be accompted on fittest to be dealt with all and easiest to bee made for any pleasure that can bee thought vpon for the which any of that kinde hath been vsed and to reclaime and make her fit to bee set to the lure You must take the same course that I haue set downe for the Slight-Faulcon being sure to make her very gentle and familiar with you in the house and abroad before you enter or set her to it which with pains and gentle vsage will quickely bee gained for they are for the most part very kinde and louing Hawkes and will suddenly bee reclaimed and made to loue the man After which time that shee shall come to be lured loose and to other things then would she first of all be taught to come vnto the pelts of hennes fowle Hearnes or any such like things so it be dead for thereby she will not be ouer hot or eager of it neither must you suffer het to touch anie part of the flesh to draw as yet her loue from your voice and your hand but to spend onely her time on that in pluming all this time you must be close by her about her and on your knees vsing your voice vnto her with her dinner or supper cleane drest and washt giuing still vnto her some part thereof in bits with your hand that from thence onely she may be satisfied and in that to be her whole delight accounting the other in her foote but as a stand or means to stay her by you while she receiues her full reward and welcome at your hands and in vsing this course often vnto her shee being a Hawke of neuer such strength and ablenesse to carry it will in the end so reclaime and winne her to your selfe that shee will quite forget the same Shee will forget her ovvne strength and after
