### Couertis or couert federis

The first bene also federis that cloos (oppon the sozcellis, and) thossome be calde the couertis or the couert federis, and so aft the federis be calde that bene neget ouer the long time federis, and the fagd federis (oppon the Wynges)

### Bache federis.

The federis (oppon the backe half) be called the backe federis.

### Behe Clape Nares Sere

The Beke of the halke is the upper parte that is crooked. The neder parte of hist keke is calde the clope of the halke. The Hoolis in the halkes beke kene called the Nares. The yolow be twene y. Beke in y. eyghen is calde y. Sere

### Crynettis.

The first be oon an halke long smale blake federis: like his, is absolute the serre in thossome: be cald Crinettis of y. halke

### Sore aage.

We shall consider that the first yere of an halke be; then she be cald Bralbicher or Eyesh, that first yere is calde his fore age, and aft that yere she is cald a fore halke, for

and the shape that yere. With good fedying she is likely to endu
re longe.

### To Reclayme an hawhe.

If ye Break Reclaym yolke halke ye moste departe oon me
in. ij. melis. ontoyme that she break come to Rec;
layme, and than she break come to Reclayme encree her melis
euerp nap better and better. And or she come to the Reclame
make her that she folow not. For though she be hele Reclaymed
hit may hapen that she break folow: so long in to the Eyre,
that ye shall neither se his nor see his.

And iff podre halke shall flye to the partich, looke that ye Enfayme her or she flye. Whither she be Bralbicher or Eyes Or melved halke.

### Why an hawhe is called an Eyes.

On halke is cald an Eyes of his Eyghen, for an halke that is brought up under a Eustard or a Guttocke: as moste be: path wateri Eyghen. For than that be disclosed and the pit in ferme tyft that be full summpo. ye shall analve thym by that wateri Eyghen. And also his looke break not to so quiche as a Bralbicheris is, and so be cause the best knawlege is by the Eygh, that be cald Eyeses.

T Ye map also tinalke an Eyes, bi the palene of the seves
of her leggce of the seve ouer the boke. And also by the tapyn;
tye that be (upon her tapit and her wengys)liche tapynpres com

C what a tapnt is.

A Tapnt is a thynge that gooth ouerhaste the sedris of
the Wynges, and of the tapit lyke as and? it Were o'etyn With
Wormys, and it begynth first to breed at the body, in the penne
and that same penne shtt frete a sonder, and falle a Wap thuz;
wol theffame tapnte and? then is the halke disparagid for all
that yere.

Also she may be calde an aspare halbke of sharpenesse
of hir cagme. and of hir lokpny quickly. and also of hir flepny
For she is moost asper and sharpe in all thynge that belong
unto hir of any other halbkes

She may be also callid a spare halbke for. ij. Resones. oon
is the spanith goshalkpes and tercellyps toth. siche as ben in

The reward for how many.

When you have found us by strength and done her to do
The hunter shall reward you then with the code
With the fruit of your and the sides and with the bellies all
And all thy physics with the Bombe use only the salt
The punchie also: yeue him noon of thy.
With reward when one of them is salt
With all good hunters the halow . it is all
Then the loppes of the hare looke ye not forget
But bring him to the kechyn for the lordis moste
And of this like hare speke be no more.

Wiche beeles shall be layne a wich stripte

And to speke of the bestes when that be layne
Hoe many be stripte and how many be layne
Alt that were layne and talow and Rounge leue me
Shalt be layne sofe the hare for he shall stripte be
And all that beith greece: and piles thereupon
Euer shall be stripte when that be vondoon
Of the yeve manner play: thus ye shall say.

Wiche beeles shall be tride with the lymer.

My dce sonnys echeon nolb wile I yoll lewe
Hoe many maner beeles as with the lymere
Shalt be experience in wyth or in felde
Hooth the hart and the bucke and the boore soild
And all other beeles that hunten shall be
Shalt be sought and founde with matche so fre
Say thus I yoll tolle: my childe: so tolle

Not certainly of all the signs the Wych are found in arms as of flowres leues and other meruelrys tokenys. I cannot declare here: Her be so many. But ye shall know also generally that for all charges the Wych lyghly any man may see in his maps: ye have rules sufficient as he leues, to dysfemne and bla se any of the men: and it be so that ye be not in othe place to have any of the signs: to swyfe in the dysfemning. (Her ye may not ouerrun swyfe the forsoyd rules: but diligently have theyn in your maps: and be not to fult of confaitis. For ye that Wilt huntij paires i oon othere: or oon while on: an other while an other lightly he loses both. Therefore take heed to the rules. If so be that they be not a general wetrine: yet shall that man profane for thes sciences greatly.

Werte ye Wele theps questiones here nobly folowyng.

Of noord to a question I will proceed, and that is thes Whethyr charmys of the grauntyng of a prynce or of othe lordys at better or of sych dignyte: as armys of a manif propag auctorite take. When that it is leesult to every nobility man to take to him armys at his pleasure. For the Wych questio on it is to be known that, if the maner of Wyse we have armys.

The first maner of Wyse we have othere alene armis the Wych be here of othere fadys or of othere moodys or of othere preedyces for thes. The Wych maner of Wyng is common and famous in the Wych I will not stonde long. For that maner is best puyt

The second maner we have armes by othere meriteys as wepe playnly it appearith by the addiction of thazmys of Francke to thazmys of England getyn by that moost nobility man prynce Edward the first getyn some of Lyng Edward the thirte p'tyme Lyng of England after the taking of Lyng John of Francke i the latek of Septerz. The Wych certain addiction was leesult and rightwyfli doon, and on the second maner of Wyse mpight a poore arche have taken a prynce or sum nobility lordz. As so thazmys of that prysone: by him so take rightwyfli he may put to him and to his payres.

On the thirde maner of Wyse we have armys the Wych We keve by the grauntyng of a prynce or of sum other lordys.

And ye most known that thos armys the Wych we have of the grauntyng of a prynce or of a lord by refayne no question wyth that he verith thos same. For Whi the prynce wyll not: that is a question to ask yet. Whi he gaue to any man sech an armes as it is playn in the lade of nature and Cuytik. For that same that pleses the prynce has the strength of lade. But if any man bave thos armys afore: for that Wyng the Wych is myne With a rightwyf tipt With othe deseruping map not to take from her the prynce map not to hit rightwyfli.

The fourth maner of Wyse we have thos armys the Wych we take on othere alene auctorite. As in theys daps open ly we se. Hold many poore men by thayr grace favourie labour or deseruping: as made nobles. Sum by thepr prudens. Sli hi thes mahod. Sli bi thy strength. Sli bi thy coniig. Sli bi od utayys

And of thes men mony by theyr albne autorite haue take az;
mys to be borne to theym and to ther tapris of whom it nedys
not here to rchyrse yce namys. Nei the lees armys that be so token
they may lefully and freely beer. Bot yit they be not of so grete
dignpte and autorite as thoos armys the Wich ar grauntyt cap
by aw by the autorite of a pryncce or of a lorde. Yet armys bi
a manmys propur auctorite take : if an other man haue not bor
ne theym afore : be of strength enough.

And it is the oppynon of moni men that an herwod of armis
may grue armys. Bot I say if any spych armys be borne by a
ny herwod groupn that thoos armys be of no more auctorite then
thoos armys the Wich be take by a manmys albne auctorite.
