How to make a Hawke know her feeding.

WHen your Hawk féedeth eagerly, and knoweth your wistle and your voyce, then may you teach her to know know her feeding, & to bate at it in this wise. You should with your right hand shew her meat, crying and luring to her aloud and if bate or strike at it, then must you quickly and hand∣somely let her foote it, and féede on it for thrée or foure bits: and doe thus oftentimes, to the end she may the better know her feeding. And afterwards feede her, and giue her euery night (without intermission) some casting eyther of feathers, or of cotton with two cloues sometimes cut in foure peeces, and put into the casting, or a little Aloes, wrapped vp in the Cotten, according as the Falconer shall see that it is requisite. For such castings make a Hawke cleane and eager. (∵)
