Of the Hawke that holdeth not her wings vp so well as she should do, but lol∣leth them.

IF a Hawke that is newly taken be set straightwayes vpon a pearch or vpon the fist of one that hath no skill to vse her, shée ouerheates herselfe with bating, and afterward catcheth such cold vpon it, as she cannot recouer or trusse her winges close to her again, nor bée able to flée well. Mallopin saith, that to remedie this mischiefe, you must take of the best vinegar y^t is to bée gotten, & with your mouth spirt it vpon, and betwixt her feathe as till she be throughly wet, taking good héede that none of it come in her nares, and afterward set her by the fire or in the Sun, seruing her so two or thrée dayes together. And if shée recouer do nothing else to her, but if shée recouer not, let her bath, eyther of pleasure or of force, and shée will trusse vp her wings to her by meane of striuing with herselfe. Then let her be set very warme by a fire or in the Sunne: for if shee should chill vpon it, shée woulb become worse than before.
