[Footnote 152-1: From the anxiety here expressed for a hawk, we

may judge of the attention which was paid to the diversion of

hawking. Latham, in his book of Falconry, says that a goshawk is

the first and most esteemed kind of hawk; that a sore hawk is from

the first taking of her from the eyry till she hath mewed her

feathers. The tassel, or tiercel, is the male of the goshawk, so

called because it is a tierce or third less than the female; it

appears here, that a ‘grosser,’ or dealer in foreign fruits, etc.,

sold hawks.--F.]
