Another way to scowre by medicine.
* 1.1TAke Aloes Cicotrine, and graines of Filander, otherwise called Stauesaker and Cassia Fistula, as much of the one as of the other to the mountaine of a bean together, and when yée haue beaten it into powder, put it into a Hennes gut of an inth long, tied fast at both ends: then conuey it into her in the morning, so as shée may put it ouer, and that must bée after shée hath cast, if shée had any casting at all. Then set your hawk by the fire or in the Sunne, and féed her with a quicke chicken, or some other liue warme meat two howres after, as is said afore: and so your hawkes shall be kept in good plight and state. And it is to be noted that you must not giue so much to
a Goshawke, for they bée not of so strong and churlish nature and mettell as other hawkes are: & much lesse to a Sparow∣hawk, because shée is not able to brooke so strong a medicine as the Goshawke is. And therefore you must beare in minde that your giuing of the said things to your hawkes must be according to their natures and strengthes, by the good discreti∣on of such as through their noble disposition doe place their care, pleasure and minds vpon such things.
Notes
* 1.1
Stancsaker is called Fi∣lander, be∣cause it loues a man, and wil cleaue to him like the burre.
