for that purpose and easiest to be indued and alwaies may bee prouided warme for her to feede vpon Then you must prouide some of the distilled water of the hearbe called Mint-ryall and as often as you feed giue some of it with her meate vntill you see and perceiue she doth mend which soone will be if you obserue well this order and manner of diet for otherwise that being neglected and carelesly handled all the medicines or other appliments in the world will doe no good at all Contrariwise this water is special good for this purpose and with good ordering will strengthen the weakenes of the stomacke drie vp all superfluous humours that was cause of the same and at an instant will stay the casting of the gorge and make her keepe her meate CHAP. XXI A verie good Medicine for a Hawk that is stuffed in the head with colde TAke Rosemary leaues and drie them and make them into fine powder also take the powder of halfe a scoare cloaues and mingle them well together with clarified and preserued butter out of rose-Rose-water and browne suger-candie and giue it vnto your Hawke in pellets in the morning and bee sure to keepe her very warme vntill she be well which will quickly be for this is a very speedy and sure medicine As I haue heretofore shewed you how necessary it is that euery Falconer do know what aileth his Hawk whē she is amisse certainly what is her disease so likewise ought he to be as skilful to know the vertue operation of such things as he shall giue vnto her for curing of the same For otherwise he may trauel as a blind man without a guide and runne on quite contrarie doing hurt vnto that the which he intended to doe good vnto as for example I haue heard of some men that would giue worme-wood in a pellet or knot vnto his Hawke at a night with her supper but for what purpose I haue not certainly vnderstood neither will I giue any consent or aduice so to do as to giue it at that time with meate or any other time on a full gorge for the nature of it is cleane repugnant and contrary it is a thing in taste very bitter and full of iuice and it cannot chuse but be offensiue and distastefull vnto the Hawke in the time of her digestion and may cause a crasie Hawke to cast before her due time and euen to throw vp her meate and all as most certainly I haue seene it done Therefore as it is a thing very medicinable and powerfull for those things for which by nature it serueth being rightly giuen so also it is as vnmedicinable and hurtfull if it be otherwise vsed wherefore vnderstand you thus much of the vertue and operation of the same this weede here spoken of and called by the name of worme-wood it is of force to loosen scowre and purge grosse and abounding humours from the stomack and is meetest to bee giuen with stones when your Hawke hath cast in the morning and is through empty and especially after a great gorge that she hath stood long on and that you feare surfering on the same for it doth mightily refresh the stomacke and body after large feeding it killeth wormes in the same and resisteth rottennesse and this obseruation ought to be held in any thing that is giuen vnto those poore Birds the griefe should be certainely knowne in all things accordingly for remedie thereof You may perceiue this disease oft-times by croking or hatling in the gorge or throate To wash your Hawks meate in hearhow●d or woodbine water is also very good CHAP. XXII A very good water to giue vnto anie Hawke that is perceiued to bee subiect vnto drought and heate in the stomacke or else where inwardly TAke about an ounce and a halfe or two ounces of french barley and wash it well in faire water and put it into a pipkin or posnet with some reasonable store of faire water and let that boyle three or fowre wa●mes and no more then cleanse away that water and put to it as much more and let that boile euen so long also then throwe that away then the third time put to it at the least a quart of faire water and let that boile halfe an hower or vntill it come vnto a pint then straine that through a linnen cloath from the barley and put into it as much suger candie as will make it indifferent sweete and let them boile a little together then after when it is colde as often as you do feed your Hawke giue some of it with your meate vnto her for three or fowre daies together and no more for it wil not last and therefore then you must prouide you of new after this manner so long as you shall haue cause to vse it which will not be long for certainely I haue seene it with one making and vsing to coole and recouer a very hot and drie Hawke that would not by any meanes be filled full of flesh or thriue in a long time before CHAP. XXIII Of the frowne AS concerning the frownce or heate or both so termed that is thought to proceed from forth the bodie of the Hawke but cannot be directly knowne vntill triall be made by the Faulconer in the cure therof when as if he do then duly obserue he may with iudgement finde out the originall cause and place from whence it doth proceed and so to vse a certaine meanes for remedie thereof As for example when you doe find your Hawkes mouth and throat to be continually froathy and furred with white then you may thinke and mistrust the same to proceed out of the inner parts and therefore must needs be said out of the body neuerthelesse as there is seuerall places that thorough distemperature therein may seeme vpward such and the like annoiance so also you must out of your iudgement and skill vse sundrie meanes for remedy as occasion shall serue And first for the stomacke which is the pannell and is neerest vnto you easiest to be searched to begin withall it is therefore most meetest and for triall of that place and to be thoroughly resolued whether that infirmity of heat shewing and appearing in the mouth doe grow from thence or no vse no other thing but stones out of faire water morning or euening as you shall find your Hawke orderly to cast them as if shee vse to sit long in the morning before shee doe cast then leaue of that time and prouide for the night to let her alwaies haue them and assure your selfe that in good time they will purge and cleanse that place of all superfluous heat or other humors that were gathered in the same and the fume and annoiance thereof will be gone the which will shew and be manifested in the mouth and throat for they will be clearely clensed of the same but if you doe not find this order and meanes to be answearable to your expectation very suddenly
