How to make a hawke know hir feeding.

WHen your Hawke feedeth eagerly, and knoweth your whistle and your voyce, then may you teach hir to know hir feeding, and to bate at it in this wise. You should with your right hande shewe hir meate, crying and lewring to hir aloude, and if shee bate or strike at it, then must you quickly and hand∣somely let hir foote it and feede on it for three or foure bittes: and do thus oftentimes, to the ende she may the better know hir fee∣ding. And afterwards feede hir, and giue hir euerie night (with∣out intermission) some casting eyther of feathers, or of cotton, with two Cloues, somtimes cut in foure peeces, and put into the casting, or a little Aloes wrapped vp in the Cotton, according as the Falconer shall see that it is requisite. For such castings make a Hawke cleane and eager. (∵)
