CHAP. LXIX.

To purge birds that feed vpon Hempe-seed.

BIrds that eate Hempe-seede, shal take for to purge them the seedes of me∣lons husked, and herbes (as you shall thinke good) namely Succorie, Beets, Lettuses, Scariole, and Mercury, which is principally good for the Linnet, but giue them what herbs you please; for they are very good to 〈…〉〈…〉 to purge them: yea, and though they haue no need to be purged, yet you 〈◊〉〈◊〉 not cease continually to be giuing of them some, giuing then furthermore, amongst▪ either earth or drie mort•••• in their cage, to the end they may eate of it, or dust themselues in it at their pleasure and conuenient time, which is very wholesome for them: and likewise you must giue them some Sugar, as you haue beene taught be∣fore. You shall perceiue when the bird would moute by the feathers in her cage, and then you shall besprinkle her lightly with wine, as wee haue already spoken before. Some birds mout in the end of Iulie, and others in the end of August. Those which are taken in the nest begin to mout as soone as they be bred, and their mouting conti∣nueth a moneth. You shall besprinkle them with wine at the least twice a weeke, to cause them to mout the sooner.
