Of the Hawke that careth away her owne feet

THis inconuenience hapneth to Merlions in chiefe, aboue all other hawkes, and to few or none else that I can read of. Master Cassian saith, it is a kind of Formica which maketh them to eate their féet in that order. For remedy hereof, make your hawke a collet of Paper to conuey about her necke, so as she may not touch her féet. Afterward, take an Oxe gal, mingle it with a reasonable good quantity of Aloes, and an∣noint your hawkes féet therewith twice or thrice a day, foure or fiue dayes, and it shall doe her pleasure, and preserue her frō this euill. If that doe her not good, then by Master Cassians aduice, take Swines dung, and putting it on a Tyle, set it to the fire or in an ouen, bake it till ye may force it into powder. Which done, wash your Hawkes féet with the purest & stron∣gest vineger that ye can find, afterward bestow her féet in the same pouder, doing so twice or thrice a day for 14. or 15. daies till she be throughly recured.
