for_o it_o draw_v a_o hawk_n from_o her_o place_n if_o well_o fly_v how_o to_o continue_v and_o keep_v a_o hawk_n in_o her_o highflying_a if_o your_o hawk_n be_v a_o stately_a highflying_a hawk_n you_o ought_v not_o to_o engage_v she_o in_o more_o flight_n than_o one_o in_o a_o morning_n for_o often_o fly_v bring_v she_o off_o from_o her_o stately_a pitch_n if_o she_o be_v well_o make_v for_o

and_o very_o fond_a of_o the_o lure_n some_o will_v have_v this_o highflying_a falcon_n seldom_o to_o kill_v and_o not_o to_o stoop_v yet_o if_o she_o kill_v every_o day_n although_o she_o stoop_v

to_o come_v ready_o to_o and_o love_v the_o lure_n be_v a_o art_n high_o commendable_a because_o it_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o great_a labour_n and_o industry_n so_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o save_v many_o a_o hawk_n which_o otherways_o will_v be_v lose_v irrecoverable_o mark_v this_o by_o the_o way_n that_o some_o natural_o highflying_a hawk_n will_v be_v long_o before_o they_o be_v

may_v proceed_v from_o two_o cause_n in_o the_o first_o place_n she_o may_v be_v too_o sharp_a set_v and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n it_o may_v be_v she_o be_v fly_v untimely_a either_o too_o soon_o

after_o this_o manner_n as_o often_o as_o she_o fish_v in_o that_o fashion_n beside_o to_o correct_v this_o error_n the_o falconer_n ought_v to_o consult_v the_o nature_n and_o disposition_n of_o his_o hawk_n and_o shall_v careful_o observe_v which_o fly_v high_a when_o in_o good_a plight_n and_o which_o best_o when_o they_o be_v keep_v low_o which_o when_o sharp_a set_v and_o which_o on_o

for_o know_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o hawk_n be_v different_a so_o be_v the_o time_n to_o fly_v each_o one_o for_o to_o fly_v a_o hawk_n in_o her_o proper_a time_n and_o to_o fly_v she_o out_o of_o it_o be_v as_o disagreeable_a as_o the_o flight_n of_o a_o gerfaulcon_n and_o a_o buzzard_n therefore_o the_o ostrager_n must_v fly_v his_o hawk_n according_a to_o their_o nature_n and_o disposition_n

can_v endure_v hard_a weather_n say_v some_o but_o my_o experience_n have_v find_v it_o otherwise_o the_o reason_n that_o may_v be_v allege_v be_v this_o first_o she_o travel_v far_o as_o a_o

other_o falcon_n do_v they_o be_v of_o shape_n like_o other_o falcon_n but_o as_o to_o mould_n they_o be_v of_o three_o sort_n large_a middlesized_a and_o little_a some_o long-shaped_n some_o
