Of the swelling in the legges or thighes.
SOmetime a hawke hath her legs swellen, and sometime her thighes & not her legs: & that cōmeth eyther by ouer-laboring her selfe in fléeing, or by ouermuch seazing her prey, and by taking colde vpon it. Also by like labour and bating, the humors being stirred within her, droppe downe to her thighes & legs, and thereof commeth this swelling.
Wherefore first let your hawke be scowred with the pylles made of Lard, Marow, Sugar & Saffron, then roste nine or ten egs hard in their shels, & when they be cold againe, take the yolks of them, & breake them with your hand in an yron possenet ouer the fire. Thē take an yron Laddle, and stir them

handsomely without ceasing, and when ye see them become blacke that yée would thinke they were mard and burnt, boile them still: which done, gather them together and presse out the oyle of them, then heate them againe as before to presse out as much oyle of them as is possible, and put it vp in a glasse. And when yée mind to vse it for the said disease, ye must take ten drops thereof, put thereto thrée drops of vineger, and thrée of Rose-water, and mingle them well together. This me∣dicine is singular good against all swellinges of their thighes, legs & feet, and moreouer it supplyeth and mollifieth their sinewes. But first yée must anoint the swellinges with a litle Adiantum, and afterward with your oyle prepared as afore∣said till your hawke be cured.
