Of the Hawke that hath her legge or thigh broken.

TAke Firre or Frankinsense, pill off the barke of it, & beat it into powder, and mingle it with the white of an egge: & if yée can, put in also a little Sanguis Draconis, & make a plai∣ster of it. Then deplume your hawks thigh, and lay the play∣ster to the broken place, taking good héed that ye bind it not too straight for feare of fluxe and repaire of accidents to the place, for so yée may do her great harme. And for want of Firre, or Frankinsence, take the barke of an Oke: for Firre is not to bée had in many places. Afterward renew your playster e∣uery fiue or sixe dayes, till your Hawke be throughly whole, alwayes cutting her meat to her as aforesaid, and keeping her hooded. And if it bee broked beneath the thigh, lay the same playster to it, taking good héed that yée binde it not too hard: for in so doing yée may make her foot to wither away, and mortifie the member, which is a very great negligence. For Hawkes are daintie birdes, and daintily to bée dealt withall.
