To draw the Goshawke out of the Mewe.
ABout the beginning of October, if you perceiue your Go∣shawke faire mewed, and hard penned, then giue her ey∣ther chickens, or Lambes hearts, and Calues hearts, by the space of 20. dayes together, to skowre her, and to make her slise out the slimy substance, and glytte out of her pannell, and to enseame her (as Falconers tearme it.) That being done, one euening you may draw her out of the mew, and new furnish her with Iesses, belles, & Bewets, and of all other things that shall bée néedefull. And when you haue féeled her, keepe her so séeled two or thrée dayes, vntill she will be gently hooded. And thereof a Falconer ought to haue a speciall regard. For com∣monly all mewed hawkes are as coy to bée hooded, as when they were first taken. But when you haue won her to abide the hoode gently, then in an euening by candle light you may vnséele her, and the next day you may goe about to shew her the fist and the gloue. And as I haue before aduised you to deale with Haggarts, or hawkes new taken from the Cage, you shall not forget to let her tyre and plume morning and e∣uening, giuing her somtimes in the morning, when her gorge is emptie, a little Sugar Candie, for that will helpe her mar∣uailously to endew. Sometimes also when shée is emptie in gorge and panell, you shall giue her skowrings of Aloes Ci∣catryne, Cloues and Stauesaker, wrapped in a little péece of cotton, or in towe, or linnen cloth. But hereof shall hée written more plainely in the treatise of medicines.
