Doues and such like, giuing them aliue, or as soone as they are killed.
But if it so happen, for all this care and good intendaunce, that the casting continue at one selfe stay, and be like euill in shew, then must you néedes giue your Hawke askowring, according to art, such as I will teach you to make hereafter.
If your Hawkes casting be gréene, it is a signe that she is ill affected and diseased in the Liuer, the cure whereof I will referre to a peculiar chapter for the same euil. But know ne∣uerthelesse, that hawkes when they are ramage, diuers times doe cast such like gréene castinges as I speake of, and make such muets, by reason of some wilde fowle, that they haue kil∣led and preyed vpon at their owne pleasure, or otherwise haue had the same giuen them by Falconers. And a man néede not greatly force thereof, for that with good féeding, they will lightly be recouered, and ridde of this disease.
When the casting hapneth to bée yellowish blacke, and very moist and slimy, it argueth your Hawke to bee stuft with euill humors, procéeding of too great heat, or of immo∣derate and ouer great flights, or too much bating. For recoue∣ry of which euill, you must as spéedily as you may, bestow good féeding vpon your hawke, and coole her, by washing her meat in good fresh water, as endiue water, or such like, as shall best please the fancy of the Falconer, allowing her be∣sides one or two, or moe castings of cotton: into which you must conuey very excellent good mummy beaten into pouder, and otherwise among incense, vsed in like manner. But if it so fall out that your hawke continue her ill casting, for all this remedy it shall not be amisse, fortwice or thrice to giue her this kind of casting, or vpward scowring euery other day.
Take Aloes washt and beaten to powder, one scruple, pow∣der of Cloue foure graines, of Cubebes beaten to powder thrée graines: all which béeing well confected, and made in mixture, enwrappe in a péece of cotton and giue your hawke being emptie, and hauing no meate aboue, or in her pannell.
