_Of Hawks there are two sorts._

The Long-Winged Hawks.

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

The Short Winged Hawks.

_Eagle_ and _Iron_.
_Goshawk_ and _Tiercle_.
_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 _Tiercle_, at the _Partridge_, or _Hare_.
_Sparrow-Hawk_, at the _Partridge_ or _Black-Bird_.

And the

_Musket_, at the _Bush_.

Your _Hawk_ watch, and keep from Sleep, continually carrying him upon
your Fist, familiarly stroak him with a Wing of some Dead Fowl, or the
like, and play with him; Accustom to gaze, and look in his Face with a
Loving, Smiling, Gentle Countenance; and that will make him acquainted,
and familiar with Men.

Having made him familiar, the next thing is to _Bring him to the Lure_,
(which the _Faulconer_ makes of Feathers and Leather, much like a Fowl,
which he casts into the Air, and calls the _Hawk_ to) which is after
this manner. Set your _Hawk_ on the Perch, unhood him and shew him some
Meat within your Fist, call him by _Chirping_, _Whistling_, or the like,
till he comes, then Feed him with it; if he comes not, let him Fast, and
be sharp set: Short-winged _Hawks_ are properly said to be called, not
_Lured_. Make him bold, and acquainted with Men, Dogs, and Horses, and
let him be eager and sharp-set, before you shew him the _Lure_, knowing
his _Luring_ Hours; and let both sides of the _Lure_, be garnished with
warm and bloody Meat; let him likewise know your Voice well; so that
being well acquainted with Voice, and _Lure_, the Hearing of the one, or
sight of the other, makes him Obedient; which you must reward by
Feeding, or punish by Fasting. But be
