The Vulgar Latin reads thus, Doth the Hawk feather her self, ¹or get her feathers by thy wisdom? Our Translation runs to the use of her feathers, this to the groweth of her feathers; as if it had been said, D•th the Hawk get her feathers by thy wisdom, or hast thou set her feathers so exactly in her wings? This reading may be taken two ways. First, Dost thou make the Hawks feathers grow at first, dost thou plant those feathers in her wings? surely, no. Secondly, Dost thou renew the Hawks feathers? When the Hawk hath mewed or least her feathers (as they who are acquainted with Hawks know their natural custom is) dost thou cause them to grow again? surely, no, thou didst neither at first plant her wings with feathers, nor when she hath cast her feathers, dost thou cause those feathers to renew; that's a good reading: But I shall keep to our own. Doth the Hawk fly by thy wisdom?
