Of Aloes Cicotrina, wherewith you must make scowrings for your Hawkes.

I Tell you further that to maintaine your Hawkes in good plight, & to kéepe them from all diseases, you must euery 15 dayes, giue them the mountenance of a beane of Aloes Cico∣trine which must bée put into them, wrapped vp in a little of the flesh, or of the skinne of a Henne, to the intent that the tast of the Aloes which is very bitter, bée not felt of them. And whē your hawke hath swallowed it downe, beare her vpon your fiste, the better to cause her to kéepe that which is giuen her, which done, let her afterward cast vp the water & slime which shée hath in her body: and take vp the rest of the Aloes againe which shée hath cast, and let it not be lost, for it is good and wil serue for another time. Then set your hawke in the Sunne

or against the fire hooded, and féede her not till two howres af∣ter, at which time you shal giue her a reasonable gorge of some liue birde or fowle. And the said medicine must bée giuen in the morning after that the hawke hath cast.
