ouer night with the best meat you can get that shee may put it kindly away and be empty betimes in the morning and then giue her the scowring as earely as may be and set her on a hot brick wrapped in a double woollen cloath and so keepe her at the least three houres or vntil shee craueth for her meat when as you must giue her a little and often of the best hot meat you can get and neuer without some of the aforesaid water with it and so order and diet her with good and nourishing feed and continuall warmth vntill shee bee able to returne to her accustomed diet againe CHAP. VIII A scowring to be giuen vnto any Hawke that is full of flesh and strong and is perceiued to be imperfect and vncleane within TAke a quarter of a pound of fresh butter and put vnto it a sawcer full of white vineger and boile them with a soft fire and also clarifie and skim it well then put into it three or foure brused cloues one branch of rew one branch of wormewood one flash or two of saffron and a pretty peece of suger candy Then boile al these together a good space and when you haue so done take out the rew the wormewood the cloues and the saffron then when it is cold dreane away what is left of the vineger and of the remainder make you pellets which being roled vp in browne suger candy giue two of them as big as reasonable Acornes vnto your Hawke after that manner and at such time as I haue shewed you before If you feare any bruse you may ad a ilttle mummy and if you find not this medicine to be of sufficient force in the working then the next time take of allowes the quantity of a fetch vnwashed and of the clearest and purest in shew and conuay it very curiously into the midest of a pellet and so giue it vnto your Hawke and it will passe gently away with the rest and purge downeward to your liking This scowring is good to be giuen vnto any Hawke that hath beene continued in foule and disordered feed and hath surfetted on the same for it strengtheneth the heart and purgeth humors from the stomack and mightily refresheth the same and bowels after large feeding it killeth wormes in the body and resisteth rottennesse also t greatly respecteth the head CHAP. IX Another scowring to be giuen vnto a Hawke that is but in a resonable estate of body and is perceiued to bee vncleane and fowle within Take forth the rosemary the cloues the mace whē they are boiled then after when it is almost cold put in the powder of rew TAke a quantity of fresh butter and be sure it be perfect sweet and boile it ouer a chafing-dish by it selfe and skim it well then put into it two or three branches of rosemary two or three cloues a little mace a little saffron in powder and a pretty peece of browne suger candy then boile all these together againe a good space and in the cooling put in a little of the powder of rew and mingle them all well together Then take forth the rosemary and the cloues and when you would vse it role it vp with suger candy into pellets You may giue some aloes by it selfe hansomly convaied into a bit of meat that it be not tasted till it be in the stomacke and it is a very good thing but otherwaies I haue knowne it to kill diuers Hawks and feare not to giue one or two of them vnto your weake and impouerished Hawke in the morning betimes and in that manner as I haue appointed before for the same and also for the manner of her diet and feeding when her houre is come and if you doe thinke or assuredly find that this scowring is not of force to worke your will then take of Alowes washed as much in quantity as of the other vnwashed and conuay it into the midst of a pellet and so bestow it on your Hawke for although being washed it is not so violent in the scowring yet is it meet for your crasie Hawke and is of operation and vertue to strengthen her stomacke the more Also it is an enemy to all putrifaction and defendeth the body from corruption this scowring is good to purge gently it strengtheneth the heart and concocteth raw humors of the stomacke it preserueth the lights and remoueth obstructions or stoppings and suddainely breedeth health and lustinesse CHAP. X. Another excellent scowring to bee giuen vnto any Hawke of any kinde high or low or of what estate soeuer that is perceiued to haue infirmity within her inward parts also for any cold or stuffing in the head TAke a good quantity of fresh butter well boiled and clarified and then well washed in the best rosewater and there close kept and preserued vntill you haue occasion to vse it when as you must take it forth and put into it the powder of halfe a dozen cloues the powder of two or three chewdes of saffron and as much of the powder of rew as the shales of one small nut will containe then temper and mingle them all very well together with good store of browne sugercandy and so keep it close in a boxe vntill you haue need to vse it and then if you be disposed you may giue your Hawke very often of it in pellets without offence or feare and feed her within an houre or lesse after it for I haue had Hawkes both long winged and short that would haue eat it very eagerly with their meat and it would presently make them very full hawtie and proud This scowring sweetly perfumeth the body it wasteth and consumeth winde it openeth and purgeth the head it makes humors fit to passe away it comforteth the heart and stomacke it is good for difficulty of breathing shortnesse of breath which proceeds of cold and it is a good remedy against the pantas or the stopping of the lights or longs and it is also a present remedy for the cray CHAP. XI An excellent scowring to giue vnto a full Hawke after shee hath beene lured and her grease heat and stirred in her before shee be thorowly inseamed TAke the powder of rosemarie the powder of box leaues of equall portions and a little of the powder of horehound and mingle them all very well together with sweet clarified butter and browne suger-candy and giue a pellet or two of the same vnto your Hawke at night as you haue beene directed and this will purge and scowre the pannell and other inward parts of grease and all other loose humors and your Hawke shall insearne to your liking without any danger CHAP. XII Signes of inward sicknesse and the cure WHen you doe perceiue your Hawke to sit broodely and crowching with her feathers displaied and open and withall doe as it were start or ierke with her legge or foot as sometimes a Hawk will doe when shee is touched on her pannell with ones
condition of their griefes they are much a like yet a difference there is and also some hope of recouerie if they be taken in time The Crampe may bee taken at any time of the yeere when the Hawke hath been flowne and is perfectly inseamed and cleane onely with taking cold after hard flying and toyling therefore beware how you doe set your Hawkes in colde places at such times for more euils do growe thereon then is imagined or thought on also her body inwardly may be possessed of the same and euen foundered as it were or frettized with the like and this one way may the Crampe be taken And for the Crocke that infirmity also may be taken at any time thorough ill vsage but if you haue obserued it it hath been most oftenest taken after their immediate drawing before they be throughly inseamed and cleane as with taking colde after they haue bated and het their greace and with spowting and washing after they haue stirred and het themselues or with ouer streining them in that case and by striuing and through negligence hanging by the heeles Also after in the time of loosing being loaden with belles a metled Hawk may with great labour in seeking to prey take the same infirmity but if it bee not in greace it will soonest be recouered Againe otherwise they may haue these infirmities ioined together and then the vse of their ioints will be taken from them and they will onely lie downe whereas then there is seldome or neuer any remedy but death for it is in the highest degree of both the diseases And if you will looke backe towards the middest of this book whereas I haue aduised you to beware how you do spowte or wash your metled Hawkes newly taken from the mew there shall you finde necessarie instructions how to preuent such euils and preserue your Hawkes from the like and other inward infirmities and so much of the nature and condition of these sundty diseases CHAP. XXVII For the Crampe IF you be well assured when your Hawke doth take the Crampe that she is cleane and perfectly inseamed and ftee from greace then must you resolue and indeauour your selfe to cure her with continuall moderate heate outwardly the which you must prouide and prepare for her in this sort Take a large brasse pot and fill it with faire water into the which put two or three good handfull of sage both red and white and also as much Polopody of the O●ke and boile them in the pot the which you must couer with woollen cloathes very thicke for otherwise your Hawke will be hot too soone or colde too soone which must not be but a temperate heate ought to be kept continually with the Hawke lying on it also it is meete that you do giue one cloue of garlicke euerie morning for one weeke together to the end to open her pipes and vaines and to expell the inward colde from thence that hath possessed or benummed her and if you mistrust any greace to be in her that hath been ouer-heat then her body will be much windie inwardly and it wil be good for you to purge and consume that away The Rue wasteth and consumeth ●●●de it cutteth and digesteth tong humours the worm-wood purgeth and cleanseth them awaie and other grosse and tuffe humours as euill possessors of the same place and doth increase that disease for the which take a little of the leafe of Rue and as much of the worm-wood exceedingly shred with a sharpe knife and mingle it with sweet-butter and a little suger-candy and when you would vse it make it into pellets and giue one or two of them vnto your Hawke two or three mornings in the weeke and with this course wel obserued and vsed make no doubt but it will mend and make sound your Hawke Also do you take out of the pot often times some of the Polopode and sage in their fuming heate and lay it before the Hawke that shee may taste it at her nares so long as it smoakes for it is a very speciall thing against that disease CHAP. XXVIII To recouer and cure a Hawke that hath taken the Crock in her flying time through any kinde of accident WHen your Hawke hath taken the crocke thorough any misfortune as I make no question but you haue seene a Hawk to scratch off her hood and sitting abroad would so bate and striue in her lease that before shee cold be conueniently taken to the fist hath euen crockt againe and againe all which proueth that through such accidents and disordered occasions yourcoie Hawkes may come by the like diseases And for cure thereof the best remedy that euer I could find to be ioined with rest and ease is the spirit of wine the which you must prepare and make in this fashion Take halfe a pint of claret wine or more or lesse as you shall see cause for the quantity you meane to make and put it into a seruice dish of siluer if you haue it or otherwise into a dish of the best pewter that you can get and couer it with another dish of equall proportion and bignesse very close Also into the same you must put a little sugercandy three or fowre thin slices of the whitest ginger as many browsed cloues and boile all these on a chafing-dish ouer a soft fire which you must keepe with temperate blowing and now and then take off the vppermost dish and with a feather strike the moisture that hangeth theron into some thing wherein you may keepe it safe and alwaies when you doe feede your Hawke giue her a little of it with her meate being sure to giue her quiet rest and warmth withall and this will recouer her without all doubt but if she haue taken this disease before shee be inseamed then is it so much the more dangerous yet neuerthelesse if the Crampe haue not also ioined with it and ceazed on her and taken away the vse of her externall parts she may with good vsage bee recouered and brought to health againe The which to effect looke a little back and there you shall finde a scowring made of Rue and Worme-wood with some other things the which you must purge your Hawke with all at such times and so often as you are there directed for it serues for both the infirmities when they be taken in greace or as if they were vnited in one Hawke together As you do boile your wine you ought to haue knowledge and perseuerance when the heart and spirit thereof doth fade or decay the which to vnderstand is as that do die so the strength thereof ceaseth to yeeld anie more plentifull store of moisture and then you must prouide you of new wine and other things to increase your store withall And as this thing is speciall good for any Hawke that hath taken this forenamed disease by ouerstriuing or streining her selfe or other misfortune so is it also as good to be giuen vnto any sicke or
