THE THIRD TREATISE, OF Hawkes and Hawking: Wherein is contained Cures for all knowne Diseases; all which haue beene practised by my selfe, more vpon worthy mens Hawkes that haue beene sent vnto me, then vpon any of my owne.

First, for the beake, mouth, eyes, head, and throat, and of the seuerall griefes there breeding and offending.

A Medicine for the wet Canker in the mouth or Beake, which will eate into her eyes and braine, (and vnlesse it be killed) it will soone kill her: And this is more common with the long-winged then the short winged Hawke: This of my owne practise, and how dangerous soeuer it shall appeare to him that hath not made vse thereof, belieue me, in the administring thereof there is nothing but safety.

A Medicine for the Frounce, whervnto the long-winged Hawke is much more subiect then is the short-winged Hawke.

Otherwise for the Frounce.

An approued medicine for the Frounce, that is to be had in euery Towne.

A remedy for the kirnells whereunto the long-winged Hawke is not subiect, but it followeth much the short-winged hawke.

There is a disease in the head of some, called Ver∣tego, it is a swimming of the braine, and thus followeth the cure.

The Pinne in the throat a most desperate and vncu∣rable disease, I haue neuer heard of a long wing∣ed hawke troubled therewith, but I haue knowne many short-winged hawkes killed with it.

An excellent medicine for a lash in the eye.

A Medicine for a salt or hot humour that runneth out of the eye, and scaldeth all the feathers from that part vnder the eye, and maketh it bare.

For the same otherwise.

For a snurt or colde in the head of any hawke, it is most properly to be learmed thus in long-winged hawkes, for short-winged hawkes the Rye, and yet they differ.

A medecine for the Mites, some hawkes haue beene so ill looked vnto, that they haue not onely beene troubled about the beake and eyes, but the nicks of the wings and hinder parts of them haue beene eaten to the quicke.

A receipt beyond all other, to take out the Lyme out of a Hawkes feathers.

A receipt to be giuen to a Hawke that bloweth, and is short or thicke-winded.

A Medicine for the Wormes, wherewith all crea∣tures (I thinke, as well as Hawkes) are trou∣bled.

A Medicine or Pill to be giuen to Hawke that hath the Wormes, whereof I make the best allowance.

A receipt for a Hawke that hath lost her courage, and ioyeth not, or is lowe in flesh.

Another receipt very good for the same purpose.

How to draw a water that is cooling, and the pro∣pertie thereof is to kill any vnnaturall heate in the mouth or body, it is a great cleanser, and in∣creaseth breath; it will keepe the body in good temper, and helpe the body distempered with heate.

A very excellent medecine for a dangerous bruise, presently to be giuen after the hurt.

A receipt for a wound or hurt taken either by a Dog, or the clawes of a Hare, or otherwise.

A medicine for the Cray.

Another for the same.

Another for the same, and the best of any for the same.

Otherwise for the same.

A receipt for a straine or bruise in the foote.
