Of Apostumes that breed in Hawkes.

WHen a Hawke hath any Apostume in her body, yée shall know it by the stuffing of her nares, & by her inordinate panting, which accident commeth sometimes by rushing rashly into bushes, or by bating too much vpon the pearch, and moreouer, by ouer frée encounter with her prey. Now when shée is so bruised and chafed, and taketh cold vpon it, Apostums bréed therby, because the mischiefe is not known and looked vnto aforehand. Mallopin in his booke of the Prince, giueth this remedy.

Take the white of an egge well beaten, and the iuyce of Cole∣worts well bruised, as much of the one as of the other, & giue it your hawke in the morning in the small gut of a hen, and set her by a fire, or in the Sun, and at noon féed her with mut∣ton, or with a pullet. The next day take Rosemary dried, and beaten into fine powder, and bestow it vpon her meat reasona∣bly. For other thrée dayes giue her sugar, and thrée dayes next after that plie her again with her said powder, letting her stand warme day and night, and féeding her with good meat: and the likelyhood is great she shall be recouered.
