Take a knyfe and cutt the hede and the necke from the body of the
partrich. and stripe the skynne a way from the necke. and yeue that same
to the hawke. and couer the body of the fowle with a bonett or an hatt.
and lay thessayd hede and the necke theruppon. and if she wiƚƚ forsake
the fowle that she plumyth on. and com to the rewarde. then preuyli take
a way the partrich. and rewarde yowre hawke with the Brayne. and the
necke. Beware that she eete no bonys. for that is eueƚƚ to endewe. and
it wiƚƚ make hir vnlusty: for to flye. And thus ye most serue hir of as
many as she sleth. bot let hir rewarde be the lasse. for ellis she may
be sone fuƚƚ goorged. and then she may flye no more a grete while.

And whan yowre hawke hath sloyne a fowle. and is rewarded as I haue
sayde. let hir not flie in no whise tyƚƚ y^t she haue Reioysed hir. that
is to say. tyll she haue sewed. or snyded her beke. or ellys rowsed her.
and whan she hath done any of theys. or aƚƚ. go and retriue moo and she
wiƚƚ nym plente.
Whan ẏowre hawke hath nomme a fowle how ẏe shall do that ẏe rebuke not
the hawke.
Lerne wele oon thyng. and beware therof. whan yowre hauke hathe nomme a
partrich. stonde a goode way of. and come not to nygh her. and dryue a
way yowre houndys for rebukyng of hir. for many hawkys loue noon
howndys. and also many howndys wiƚƚ benymme theym theyre gamme from ther
fote. and that is parlous. and whiles yowre hawke plumith cumme softely
towarde hir. alway nere and nere. and if she leue plumyng. and loke
vppon yow. stonde styƚƚ and cherke hir. and whistyƚƚ hir. tyƚƚ she plume

layserly: faƚƚ oppon yowre kneys. and preuely while she plumyth sett
