fore _Luring_ (or any Flight) it
is requisite to Bathe your _Hawk_ in some quiet and still shallow Brook,
or for want of that in a Large Bason, shallow Tub, or the like, lest
being at liberty, you lose your _Hawk_, (whose Nature requires such
Bathing) and make him range. Now to make him know his _Lure_, is thus:
Give your _Hawk_ to another, and having loosned in readiness his
Hood-strings, and fastened a _Pullet_ to the _Lure_, go a little
distance, cast it half the length of the string about your Head, still
_Luring_ with your Voice, unhood your _Hawk_, and throw it a little way
from him; if he stoop and seize, let his plum the _Pullet_, and feed on
it upon the _Lure_: Then take him and Meat on your Fist, Hood him and
give him the Tiring of the Wing, or Foot of the said _Pullet_.

Having Manned and _Lured_ your _Hawk_ before you bring him to his
Flight, one thing is to be observed and done, called in the _Faulconers
Dialect_, _Enseaming_, which is to cleanse him from Fat, Grease, and
Glut, know by his round Thighs, and full Meutings; and thus you may do
it: In the Morning when you feed him, give him a bit or two of Hot-meat,
and at Night very little or nothing. Then feed him Morning and Evening
with a _Rook_, wash't twice till the Pinions be tender; then give a
Casting of Feathers as his Nature will bear; and once in two or three
dayes give him a Hens-neck well joynted and washt: Then a quick Train
_Pigeon_ every Morning; and after by these and his own Exercise, he has
broken and dissolved the Grease, give him three or four _Pellets_ of the
Root of _Sallandine_, as big as a Garden Pease, steept in the Sirup of
_Roses_; and you have done this part of your Duty.

To Enter your _Hawks_, for _Partridge_ or Fowl, Lay an old Field
_Partridge_ in a Hole, covered with something, and fasten to it a small
_Creance_ (_i.e._ a Fine small long Line of strong and even-wound
Packthread fastned to the _Hawks_ Leash when first Lured,) and
uncoupling your ranging Spaniels, pluck off the Covering of the Train
_Partridge_ and let it go, and the _Hawk_ after it; and as soon as he
has slain it, reward him well with it. And thus to make him fly at Fowl,
feed him well with the Train of the Fowl you would have; doing
afterwards as above.

The Fault of _Hawks_ differ according to their Nature and Make.
Long-Winged _Hawks_ faults are thus helped. If he used to take stand,
flying at the River, or in Champaign Fields, shun flying near Trees or
