How to helpe a Hawke when shee is froward and coy through the pride of grease.

SOmetimes a Falcon will become very proude and dis∣dainefull by being ouer high kept, in sort that shée shall not nede to bée fedde nor rewarded according as they feede when they prey of themselues at large: and although shée flée and kill, yet as soone as shée hath plumed a little, let her kéeper take a shéepes heart cold, or the leg of a pullet, and whiles the Hawke is busie in pluming, let the Falconer conuey the hart of the shéepe, or the pullets legge into some part of the body of the fowle, that it may take some taste of it: and when the Hawke hath eaten the braynes, heart, and tongue of the fowle then let him take that forth, and call his Hawke with it vnto the fist, let him féede her therewith, and giue her a little of the feathers in the necke of the sayde fowle, to scowre her & make her cast.
