Of the hawke that can neyther cast vp her meat nor endew it as she ought.

ANother mischief is wont somtimes to light vpon hawks namely, that by taking ouer-great gorges, they can ney∣ther indew nor cast it againe, & also that many times a hawke soareth away with her prey, and féedeth so gréedily vpon it by reason shée was kept ouer eager and sharpe, that she can ney∣ther get it vp nor downe, and thereupon falleth in daunger of death. Wherfore all men ought to vse discretion in feeding their hawks, that they ouer-gorge them not.

M. Cassian saith, that for remedy thereof, yée must set cleane water in a vessell before your hawke, & let her houze thereof at her plasure. And if she list not: then take the quan∣tity of a beane of Porke, of the fattest of it, and two parts lesse of powder of Pepper, with a little salt brayed very small, and when ye haue mingled them altogether, make a little bal of it

as bigge as a beane, and put it in your Hawks beake, so as she may receiue it. Then set her by the fire, or in the Sun, and you shall sée her cast her gorge. But let not the hawke bée too poore to whome you intend to allow this pill, for if shée bée too low, shée will hardly beare it.
