Of Hawking,

I shall not insist on any large _Encomiums_ of this Recreation, only
that it is a most _Princely and serious Pleasure_; nor shall I amuse you
with subtle and nice _Distinctions_, and things no way material; But
will inform you with what is meerly necessary for the right
_Understanding and Use_ of this Noble Art. I shall begin then with
_Hawks_, their _Names_ and _Flights_.

_Of Hawks there are two sorts._

The Long-Winged Hawks.

_Faulcon_ and _Tiercle-gentle_.
_Gerfaulcon_ and _Jerkin_.
_Saker_ and _Sakaret_.
_Lanner_ and _Lanneret_.
_Barbary Faulcon._
_Merlin_ and _Jack_.
_Hobby_ and _Jack_.

The Short-Winged Hawks.

_Eagle_ and _Iron_.
_Goshawk_ and _Tiercel_.
_Sparrow-Hawk_ and _Musket_.

There are others too of inferiour sort as,

_Ring-Tail._
_Raven_ and _Buzzard_.
_Forked Kite._
_Hen-driver_, &c.

And as the _Age_ of these _Hawks_ is, so we name them, as

The First Year a _Soarage_.
The Second Year an _Intermewer_.
The Third Year a _White Hawk_.
The Fourth Year a _Hawk of the First Coat_.

Thus much for their _Names_, now we come to speak of the _Flights_ of
these _Hawks_; which are these

The _Faulcon-Gentle_, for _Partridge_ or _Mallard_.
_Gerfaulcon_, will fly at the _Herne_.
_Saker_, at the _Crane_ or _Bittern_.
_Lanner_, at the _Partridge_, _Pheasant_ or _Choofe_.
_Barbary-Faulcon_, at the _Partridge_ only.
_Merlin_ and _Hobby_, at the _Lark_, or any small Bird.
_Goshawk_ and _Tiercel_, at the _Partridge_, or _Hare_.
_Sparrow-Hawk_, at the _Partridge_ or _Black-Bird_. And the
_Musket_, at the _Bush_.

Thus much for their several proper _Flights_, we are now come to their
_Manning_, the Method of which being generally one and the same (though
it has been the Labour of some to spend much Time, and many Words in
treating of the various wayes of _Manning Hawks_, and yet comes all to
one effect) I shall in short (according to the Design of this _Epitome_)
lay down this Rule: That you watch, and keep them from Sleep,
continually carrying them upon your _Fist_, familiarly stroak them with
a Wing of some Dead _Fowle_, or the like, and play with them; Accustome
to gaze, and look in their Face with a Loving, Smiling, Gentle
Countenance; and that will make her acquainted, and familiar with Man.

Having made them familiar, the next thing is to _Bring them to the
Lu
