together, put thereto larde that is neyther restie, nor ouer sal∣ted, and stéepe them a night and a day in thrée of foure chan∣ges of water, and then wash the Larde throughly in faire li∣cour. That done, take Sugar clarified and the marow of a Béefe. Of the things aforesaid, take as much of the one, as of the other, so as you may make fiue or sixe balls of the big∣nesse of a beane. Then mingle the said mixtures, and the powders together, and euery morning giue your hawke one of the balles till all be spent: and as is said afore, set your hawke by the fire, or in the Sunne, & féed her not by the space of an howre or twaine after: at which time you shall giue her eyther a Hens legge or some small birds, or a Rat, or some Mice. And in the morning when shée hath well indewed, giue her foure or fiue cloues of Maces lapped in a little flesh, or in the skinne of a henne, or in pullets of Cotton. And so may you cauterize her before the said medicine after the maner that I haue shewed before in the former receit of the Snayles, so you draw her meate in milke or in fresh butter.
