When your Hawke may be drawne to reclaime, and the manner of her diet.

If your hawke be hard penned, she may be drawn to be reclaimed, for the while she is tender penned, it is hurtfull to reclaime her. And if she be a goshawke or a Tersell which shall be reclaimed, euer feed them with washed meate at the drawing and at the reclai∣ming, but looke that it be hote, and in this manner wash it: take the meate and swill it vp and downe in the water, and then wring the water out and feed her therewith if she be a brancher, but if it be a Iesse, then must you wash your meate much cleaner than for a brauncher, and wiping it with a linnen cloth so feede her, and euermore the third day giue her cast∣ing: if she be a Goshawke or Tersell in this sort, take new flannell cloth, and cut fiue pellets thereof of an inch long at the least, then take the flesh, and cut fiue morsels, and with your knifes point cut a hole in e∣uery morsell, and put therein the pellets of cloth, then lay them in a dish of faire water, and take your hawke, and giue her a bit of warme meate so bigge as halfe her casting, then take one of them which li∣eth in the water and giue it her, and so one after an∣other, and then feede her for all night.
