¶ The Croampe commyth to an hawke with takyng of coolde in hir yowthe. Therfore it is goode for an hawke to kepe hir warme: yonge and hoold. and this medycyne is good at aƚƚ tymes for hir whether she be yonge or holde. Let not an hawke be put in mew to late bot in this maner as it folowth. if ẏe loue ẏoure hawke Iff ye loue wele yowre hawke. kepe her wele. and put hir nott late in mewe. for who so for couetesnese of flieng leses the tyme of his hawke mewyng. and withholdis her to long therfro he may after putt hir ī mewe at auenture. for then a parte of hir mewying tyme is past. ¶ Who so puttyth his hawke in mewe in the begynning of Lentyn. if she be kepit as she awth to be she shaƚƚ be mewed. in the begynnyng of Auguste. ¶ how ẏe shall dispose and ordaẏn ẏowre mewe Sett and dispose yowre mewe. in this maner so. that no weseƚƚ ner pulcatt ner non other vermyn entre ther to Ner none wynde. ner no grate colde Ner that it be ouer hote. Let that on parte of the mewe be turned to warde the sonne. so that in the moost parte of the day: the sonne may come Inne. ¶ Also ye most se that she be not auexed ner greued withe mych noyse. ner with song of men. and that no manner folkes come to hir. bot oonly he that fedyth hir. ¶ It behouyth that yowre hawke haue a fedyng stokke in hir mewe. and a longe stryng tyed therto: to fastyn hir mete with for ellis she wiƚƚ cary it a bowte the hous. and soyle it with dust And perauenture she wiƚƚ hyde it tiƚƚ it stynke. and then fede vppon it. and that myght be hir deth. and therfor when it is bondyn to the sayd fedyng stocke. she shaƚƚ nether at the fedyng ner at the tyryng ne at the lightyng ne at the Rysyng hurtte hir selfe. And whan she hath fedde. take a way the remenaunt if any leeue. and in anywyse that she haue clene mete. and att euery meeƚƚ fresħ. for of stale metis and eueƚƚ metis she shal engender mony sekeneses. ¶ And loke ye go neuer to yowre mew hot when ye shaƚƚ yeue yowre hawke meete. or ellis to bryng water to bathe her. and suffyr no Rayn to weete hir at no tyme. and ye may. and as for hir bathyng that shaƚƚ no thīg hynder hir mewyng. ¶ The maner how a man shall put an hawke in to mewe. and that is to be wele nooted. Off oon thyng ye most be ware weeƚƚ yff she haue any sekenes that ye make her hole or ye put hir in mewe. for as I vnterstonde a seke hawke shaƚƚ neuer mew weƚƚ. for though she mewe she shaƚƚ not endure bot while she is grete and fatte. for at the abatyng of hir astate she may no lenger endure. ¶ Some tyme with owt any medicyne many men deuysyn hou thay myght mew ther hawkys for sum put hawkys in mew at high estate. and sum when thay be right low. and sum whan thay be fuƚƚ. and sum when they be Empty and lene. and sume when thay be myserabuƚƚ lene. Bot therof it is no force. iff she be hole Neuertheles. I shaƚƚ say myn aduyce as I haue sene &̄ lerned.
