 Falconer offome later lurking Diftemper$ or by her foaring away, andfo 

 being loft four or five days, in which time finding little or no Prey,' fhe be- 

 comes poor and lean. 



To let her up you muft feed her, a little at once, and often, with good meat and of 

 light digeftion, as fmall Birds, Rats, Mice, &c. Or thus : Take two fpoonfuls of 

 Honey, four of ffefh Butter, and boil them together in a new earthen pot of watery 

 ,then take Pork well walhed, and fteep it in that water, giving your Hawk a reafona- 

 ble Gorge thereof twice a day, warming the faid water when you intend to feed your 

 Hawk: And get fome Snails that t breed in running waters, and give them her in the 

 morning, and they will not only fcour away the grofs (limy humours which are with- 

 in, but alfo nourifh her exceedingly.

 too poor and low : By thefirft fhe becomes proud and coy, and by the latter fo weak

For the curing of which Diftemper, fhe ought to be throughly viewed by fbme 

 skilful Falconer, by whom luch Remedies mould be adminiftred to her as are needful 

 for her ; But above all there is nothing like giving her in a morning three or four Pills 

 of Celandine well waiht.
