THE
Perfection
of
Horsemanship
,
drawne
from
Nature

Arte

Practise
.
CHAP.
1.
Notwithstanding
the
excellency
of
mans
Creation
,
yet
must
Arte
be
vsed
to
gaine
obedience
of
the
creature
.
ALlthough
the
Omnipotent
Creator
after
hee
had
made
this
visible
world
,
made
man
,
placing
him
king
&
Emperor
ouer
the
same
,
and
of
al
thinges
therein
contained
,
where
,
by
contemplation
of
the
excellency
of
the
work
,
he
might
not
onely
admire
and
reuerence
the
Creator
,
but
also
acknowledge
his
clemency
towards
him
his
creature
,
and
although
in
the
creation
by
his
instance
of
word
,
he
made
al
things
in
their
perfection
,
&
that
in
the
Creation
of
man
,
he
made
greater
deliberation
,
for
hauing
created
all
other
creatures
with
bodies
and
faculties
of
life
together
,
yet
to
make
the
excellency
and
dignitie
of
the
creation
of
man
greater
,
he
fashioned
the
body
of
man
onely
apart
,
to
plant
therein
the
soule
by
inspiration
,
shewing
that
the
soule
that
he
inspired
in
the
body
of
man
is
not
taken
of
the
earth
,
or
of
the
elements
,
to
die
as
the
body
doth
,
but
in
his
creation
hee
breathed
in
his
face
the
breath
of
life
,
Gen.
2.7
.
wherby
man
was
made
a
liuing
soule
:
&
although
all
other
creatures
were
subiect
to
corruption
,
&
man
to
a
perpetuitie
of
felicitie
to
eternall
life
,
&
that
the
excellency
of
the
creation
of
other
creatures
,
hath
rauished
the
admiration
of
former
ages
,
and
that
great
imagination
is
to
be
made
of
man
,
for
that
vnder
his
feete
all
are
subiected
,
&
for
his
onely
vse
and
seruice
created
and
still
preserned
,
&
that
although
his
habitation
bee
on
earth
,
yet
by
his
vnderstanding
the
course
of
the
firmament
,
the
depth
of
the
Sea
,
and
the
vncredible
height
of
the
Skie
,
hee
contemplateth
as
neere
vnto
him
,
Insita
sunt
nobis
omnium
artiam
ac
virtutum
semina
,
magisterque
ex
oc
ulto
deus
producit
ingenium
.
neither
doth
the
darkenes
of
the
ayre
confound
his
minde
,
the
thickenes
of
the
earth-let
his
affection
,
nor
the
profoundnes
of
water
hinder
his
desire
,
and
that
the
knowledge
of
all
thinges
remaineth
in
man
,
so
that
man
cannot
but
acknowledge
man
the
finder
out
of
the
cause
of
all
things
,
and
his
diligence
the
consummation
of
al
arts
:
yet
neuerthelesse
,
man
must
consider
that
by
his
disobedience
,
he
hath
lost
al
obedience
,
which
by
original
creation
was
subiect
vnto
him
,
&
that
now
the
obedience
of
all
creatures
must
be
attained
by
Arte
,
and
the
same
preserued
in
vigor
by
vse
and
practise
,
Dissinition
of
Arte.
Nam
ars
infaecunda
est
sine
vsa
&
vsus
temerarius
sine
arte
,
&
al
Art
is
no
other
then
a
habit
,
working
by
true
reason
,
consisting
of
many
things
gathered
by
experience
,
profitable
to
the
vse
man
,
not
inheritable
to
man
being
obscured
by
the
scourge
of
his
owne
trangression
,
although
the
vertues
therof
are
planted
in
his
originall
Nature
,
so
as
he
shall
euermore
desire
the
true
knowledge
and
practise
thereof
,
because
nature
still
desireth
restitution
to
his
prymary
perfection
.

it
is
fit
that

that
shall
exercise
the

beare
a
naturall
inclination
therunto
,
which
if
Art
and
practise
be
reaued
from
the
science
is
little
worth
,
but
beeing
vnited
and
conioyned
,
there
shall
recide
the
rarest
Artists
of
the
world
,
and
their
workes
of
greatest
perfection
,
&
so
haue
all
the
ancient
Philosophers
found
by
experience
,
that
where
nature
doth
not
dispose
an
Artist
,
it
hath
bene
a
superfluous
labour
to
toyle
in
the
rules
of
Arte
,
Quia
natura
nihil
agit
sine
aeternis
consiliis
,
because
nature
doth
not
worke
but
by
the
Author
of
nature
:
and
this
aduice
Galen
reporteth
to
haue
beene
giuen
to
his
father
,
when
he
first
set
him
to
the
studye
of
phisick
,
and
Plato
when
he
was
to
teach
graue
doctrine
,
alwaies
made
choise
of
such
Schollers
,
as
by

he
reputed
most

One

to

fatal
to

:
Ei

one
arte
is
sufficient
to
one
wit
,
&
one
only

with

can
fal
but
to
one
mans
lot
:
for
God
being
the
Author
of
nature
,
hath
not
giuen
to
each
man
more
then
one
difference
of
wit
,
being
a
miracle
if
he
giue
more
in
an
eminent
degree
:
Nusquam

for
as
that
man
that
runneth
into
euerie

hee
seeth
,
shall
neuer
come
to
his
iourneys
end
:
so
he
that
striueth
to
know
all
arts
,
shall
neuer
attaine
the
perfection
of
any
one
,
wherfore
this
natural
difference
must
be
discerned
,
if
you
wil
reduce
Horsemanship
to
perfection
,
which
otherwise
will
be
as
vnpossible
as
for
a
Mid-wife
to
make
a
woman
to
be
deliuered
that
is
not
with
Childe
:
for
mans
witte
holdeth
his
proportion
with
knowledge
,
as
the
earth
doth
with
seede
,
wherein
is
a
naturall
disposition
,
because
euerie
earth
cannot
without
destruction
produce
euerie
sort
of
seede
:
and
nature
is
conditioned
like
vnto
a
Stepmother
,
which
is
onely
carefull
to
bring
vp
those
children
herselfe
breedeth
,
which
mooued
Cicero
to
say
,
what
else
is
it
(
to
resist
nature
)
but
after
the
manner
of
Gyants
,
to
fight
with
the
Gods
,
the
which
who
so
laboureth
to
ouer-come

shall
rest
vanquished

Who
are
fit
to
teach
Horsemanship
.
IT
is
to
be
considered
,
that
the
Maister
which
teacheth
the
Art
,
haue
both
manner
and
method
in
teaching
,
whose
vnderstanding
must
bee
sound
and
firme
,
least
it
befall
the
Schollers
as
it
did
certaine
Phisitions
,
whom
Galen
conuinced
by
many
reasons
and
experiments
,
shewing
their
practise
false
and
preiudiciall
to
mans
health
,
in
whose
presence
their
teares
fell
from
their
eyes
,
curssing
their
hard
hap
in
hauing
so
bad
maisters
when
they
were
learners
:
so
is
it
also
requisite
that
the
studie
of
Art
bee
in
order
,
beginning
at
the
principles
,
and
passing
through
the
midst
to
the
end
,
not
to
haue
many
lessons
at
one
time
of
diuers
matters
,
&
to
carrie
them
fardled
together
,
wherby
a
masse
of
things
being
in
the
vnderstanding
,
afterwards
comming
to
practise
,
they
haue
not
a
vse
of
their
precepts
of
art
to
assigne
them
a
place
conuenient
:
for
in
the
same
manner
euerie
thing
is
learned
,
so
is
it
preserued
in
memorie
:
which
mooued
Galen
to
write
a
booke
to
teach
the
manner
how
to
reade
his
workes
,
least
the
Phisitians
might
be
intangled
in
confusion
:
and
therefore
it
behooueth
euerie
Artist
not
onely
to
approoue
his
natural
inclination
,
and
the
naturall
capacitie
of
the
Scholler
,
but
also
that
knowledge
haue
his
due
digestion
to
take
deepe
root
:
for
as
the
body
is
not
maintained
by
the
quantitie
it
eateth
,
but
by
that
which
the
stomacke
digesteth
,
euen
so
the
knowledge
of
this
Art
is
not
attained
by
much
teaching
or
much
reading
in
a
little
time
,
but
by
that
practise
ioyned
thereunto
,
which
by
little
and
little
it
conceiueth
and
chueth
vpon
:
for
the
wit
of
man
doth
dayly
better
,
by
processe
of
time
,
and
attaineth
to
that
which
formerly
it
neither
vnderstood
nor
conceiued
.

That
the
nature
of
the
horse
that
is
to
bee
taught
be
truely
vnderstood
.
LAstly
it
behooueth
that
the
nature
of
the
Horse
(
being
the
subiect
where-upon
Arte
and
practise
doth
work
)
be
sufficiently
knowne
,
because
the
knowledge
of
all
thinges
is
such
,
Potentia
a
natu●a
actu●
a
●o●untate
.
that
vnlesse
the
nature
of
them
bee
knowne
,
they
cannot
be
truely
and
perfectly
knowne
,
being
a
sundrie
diuersitie
of
natures
,
as
the
thinges
be
sundrie
whereof
they
be
,
because
as
that
is
onely
naturall
in
them
,
as
it
is
of
them
,
so
doth
it
declare
the
nature
and
naturall
qualitie
of
them
,
nam
ex
arena
nullum
funiculum
nectes
,
neque
ex
pumice
oleum
ant

,
For
art
cannot
make
ropes
of
sand
,
neither
draw
oyle
or
water
out
of
●●ints
,
Et
nulla
ars
humana
&
licitapossit
contra
naturam
essicere
quicquam
:
and
no
lawfull
and
humaine
Arte
can
effect
any
thing
against
nature
,
neither
can
the
Offices
and
dueties
of
Arte
be
performed
,
because
all
Art
worketh
by
true
reason
,
Difinition
of
reason
.
and
reason
hath
his
worke
and
being
,
from
nature
,
and
is
the
perfection
,
center
,
and
the
limits
of
all
mediocritie
,
beyond
which
it
is
not
lawfull
to
decline
neither
in
too
much
nor
too
little
:
Nam
quicquid
moderamine

,
Quid

,
et
di●ina

.
id
in
pessimam
degenerat
speciem
,
whatsoeuer
doth
want
the
meane
doth
degenerate
into
the
worst
kinde
.
I
then
conclude
that
the
naturall
inclination
of
the
Ryder
,
the
sufficiencie
of
the
teacher
,
and
the
nature
of
the
subiect
,
truly
vnderstood
with
the
progresse
vse
and
practise
therin
,
the
ful
perfection
of
this
Art
will
be
approoued
.

for

which
proceedeth
from

the

whereupon
Ari●●t
in

saith
,
As

)
walking
with
an
vpright
countenance
as
a
maister
in
his
house
,
rulling
all
beastes
with
obedience
and
following
will
to

their

;
springing
from
their
naturall
affection
to

the

being
the

:
(
the
minde
beeing
the
efficient
cause
of
their

)
it
is
a
consequent
in

,
that
man
by
his
knowledge

for
the
obteyning
of
the
motion
of

labour
by

&

to
gaine
the
minde
and
natural
disposition
of
the
subiect
,
to
endure
their
being
,
which
the
god
of
nature
hath
giuen
,
wherunto
euerie
creature
desireth
restitution
.
All
which
principally
consisteth
in
the
true
knowledge
of
nature
:
for
who
seeth
not
that
where
nature
is
bound
,
how
it
desireth
to
bee
loosened
,
The
works
of
nature
and
wherin
it
is
decayed
how
it
laboureth
to
be
restored
,
and
how
all
creatures
in
the
world
reioyce
at
their
returning
againe
to
nature
,
and
how
the
ordinance
of
all
thinges
is
to
haue
ioyned
the
end
to
the
beginning
,
&
to
make
the
course
of
it
stable
?
Not
to
change
from
his
proper

origionall
kinde
,
do
we
not
see
the

and
euery
creature
preserue
themselues

primarie
creation

and
haue
an
ynated
hatred
of
all
things
that
be
enemies
to
the

?
Therfore
whatsoeuer

is
to
remaine

must
now
,
by
mans
industrie

the
helpe
of
his
owne

(
so
far
as
lyeth
in
the
power
of

)
bee
brought
to
his
former
restitution
,
and
for
this
cause
hath
nature
hid
the
knowledge
and
truth
of
all
thinges
in
the
heart
of
man
,
which
mooued
Plato
to
say
,
That
whatsoeuer

they
doe
but
recorde
them
as
things
forgotte
:
Shall
man
then
(
so
diuine
a
Creature
)
so
much
degenerate
,
to
become
so
slymy
and
earthy
,
not
to
awake
his

sleepe
of

,
to
imbrace
the
true

,
Art
and

of
Horsemanshippe
,
tending
somuch
to
the
honour
of
the
King
,
and
preseruation
of
the
whole
body
of
the
common-weale
?
can
any
calling
bee
more
noble
then
a
good
Horse-man
?
are
they
not
tryumphers
both
in
Campes
and
Courts

doth
any
earthly
thing
breede
more
wonder
,
and
hath
not
the

from
all

beene
hereditarie
in
the

how
then
,
Fascientia

shall
not
that

bee
accompted
moste
best

that

euermore
performed
by

wherefore
let
the
pleasure
in
the
excercise
of
your
mindes
bee
so
cherished
,
that
without
perswasion
of
the
excellencye

your selues

bee
perswaded

and
of

the

records
of
whose
excellent
actions
would
rauish
the
Reader
with
admiration
,
how
horsemen
should
become
so
wonderfull
among
men
,
So
may
I
not
forget
the
worthines
of
the
Horse
,
from
whome
the
worthines
of
man
proceedeth
,
whose
antiquitie
cannot
be
blotted
out
of
memory
,
beeing
originally
created
with
man
for
his
only
vse
and
seruice
.
It
is
said
in
the
21.
of
Prouerbs
,
that
the
Horse
was
prepared
for
the
day
of
battaile
:
Bello
armantur

●n
minta

.
and
in
the
1.
of
Kings
the
4.
and
2.
Croni
.
9.
that
Salomon
kept
40.
thousand
horses
for
warre
,
and
likewise
many
places
of
the
Scriptures
make
mention
of
the
greate
prouision
of
Horses
for
warres
,
and
to
illustrate
their
excellencie
,
appeareth
in
the
39.
of
Iob.
How
the
strength
of
the
Horse
commeth
from
the
Lord
,
and
with
neying
hee
couereth
his
necke
,
and
that
his
neying
is
fearefull
,
that
hee
diggeth
with
his
feete
in
the
valley
,
and
reioyseth
in
his
strength
:
hee
goeth
foorth
to
meete
the
Harnest
man
,
hee
meeketh
at
feare
,
and
is
not
affraide
,
and
turneth
not
his
backe
from
the
Sword
,
though
the
Quiuer
rattle
against
him
,
the
glittering
Speare
and
the
Shield
:
hee
swalloweth
the
ground
with
swiftnesse
and
rage
,
and
beleeueth
not
it
is
the
voice
of
the
Trumpet
:
hee
saith
among
the
Trumpets
ha
,
ha
,
hee
smelleth
the
battaile
a
farre
off
,
and
the
noyse
of
the
Captaines
,
and
the
shouting
,
so
that
there
cannot
bee
any
doubt
of
their
excellency
,
being
from
the
testimony
of
eternall
truth
.
Besides
many
testimonies
that
recorde
the
greatnesse
of
their
same
and
worthy
actions
,
for
which
they
gayned
great
solemnities
of
their
burialls
,
and
remembrances
brances
of
their
worthinesse
.
As
amongst
the
Persians
,
who
after
the
death
of
their
excellent
Horses
,
buryed
them
and
made
Sepulchers
and
monuments
ouer
them
,
and
as
Pliny
reporteth
,
the
Pyramides
did
the
like
.
Also
Plutarch
saith
,
that
Simon
of
Athens
,
for
the
great
victorie
that
hee
got
by
his
Horses
in
the
warres
in
Olimpio
,
after
their
deathes
made
sepulchers
and
monuments
ouer
them
.
Likewise
Alexander
for
the
renowne
of
Bucephale
his
Horse
,
made
him
a
Sepulcher
and
Monument
,
builded
a
Cittie
,
and
walled
it
about
,
and
named
it
after
his
horses
name
,
as
a
memorial
of
his
fame
:
and
as
Pliny
recordeth
,
Caesar
the
Dictator
caused
the
picture
of
his
Horse
to
be
set
vppe
before
the
house
of
Venus
.
And
likewise
the
horse
of
Augustus
Caesar
,
was
buryed
with
an
honourable
monument
ouer
him
:
And
Dion
Cassius
reporteth
,
that
Adrian
the
Emperor
,
after
the
death
of
his
horse
Borischemius
,
buryed
him
and
made
a
Princely
Sepulcher
,
and
a
stately
pillar
ouer
him
,
with
Epigrams
about
it
,
grauen
in
stone
.
And
Iulius
Caesar
(
as
Tranquillius
affirmeth
)
erected
a
Monument
ouer
his
horse
,
with
Ensignes
,
to
signifie
their
dominion
ouer
the
whole
world
.
Againe
,
some
haue
so
loued
their
horses
for
their
excellencies
,
as
they
haue
caused
them
to
be
buryed
in
their
own
burials
,
as
Lethurgus
,
the
horse
of
Hypp
immon
:
so
likewise
Arsuitus
the
horse
of
Biornon
his
Sonne
,
was
buryed
with
his
Maister
:

were
solemnly

&
likewise
some

,
were

had
a

who
for
the
griefe
of
the
death
of
his
Maister
would
neuer
eat
till
he
died
as
Gellius
recordeth
.
And
Antiochus
had
a
horse
,
who
when
his
Maister
was
deade
,
for
the
greefe
thereof
cast
himselfe
to
the
ground
,
and
casting
out
his
feete
presently
dyed
:
And
Dionisius
the
Tyrant
,
had
a
horse
,
who
being
forsaken
by
his
vngratefull
master
,
followed
him
by
his
footesteps
to
finde
him
out
:
and
Dyon
also
reporteth
,
that
the
Emperour
Caius
Caligula
,
had
a
horse
named
Vel●cissimus
,
which
hee
so
loued
,
that
he
had
him
verie
often
to
dine
and
sup
with
him
at
his
table
,
and
caused
him
to
be
serued
with
barley
in
a
great
vessel
of
golde
,
and
to
drinke
white
wine
in
a
Caudrone
of
golde
:
amongst
which
notable
remembrances
,
I
may
not
omitte
for
the
honour
of
this
kingdome
,
the
monument
of
Arundel
Castle
,
which
Beauis
the
honorable
Earle
of
South-hampton
builded
for
a
monument
of
his
horse
called
Arundell
,
for
sauing
him
from
many
perils
:
but
because
some
will
report
selfe-loue
better
then
any
guilding
to
make
that
glorious
wherein
himselfe
is
partie
,
I
will
not
as
the
prouerbe
saith
,
aquam
in
Pelagus
effundere
,
cast
water
into
the
occan
:
neither
in
re
non
dubia
vti
ratione
non
necessaria
hauing
infinite
worthy
testimonies
of
histories
&
holy
writ
(
cuius
spiritus
nequeest
mendax
nequemordax
)
besides
the
daily
assurances
of
euery
wel
minded
mins
practise
wherfore
seeing
the
power
,
iustice
and
prouidence
of
the
creator
,
and
the
weakenes
of
man
in
so
small
consideration
of
so
excellent
a
creature
,
as
also
the
gentillitie
and
noblenesse
of
the
beast
so
manifest
,
whose
heart
is
so
highly
set
,
that
for
to
dye
hee
will
not
leaue
his
maister
in
danger
,
but
hath
such
loue
with
fiercenes
,
and
such
fiercenes
with
loue
,
which
prodigall
nature
hath
giuen
him
,
by
which
we
see
him
like
a
thunder
,
break
the
presse
of
the
men
of
war
,
murther
and
kill
those
resisting
his
maister
,
&
letting
him
in
his
way
,
and
finally
neuer
to
cease
his
violence
,
till
either
life
bee
lost
,
or
victorie
obtained
.
I
hope
there
is
not
any
minde
so
base
as
to
become
a
step-mother
to
Horse
&
Horsemanship
&
whereas
I
haue
made
shew
but
of
a
spark
of
the
excellency
of
man
and
Horse
in
seuerall
deuision
,
If
I
should
now
ioyne
the
excellency
of
them
both
in
one
,
and
thereof
onely
gather
the
Tithe
,
how
excellent
thinke
you
were
that
coniunction
,
where
such
simpathy
of
obedience
&
reciprocal
loue
is
each
to
the
other
in
all
motions
:
each
accompaning
the
other
in
skill
and
ready
attendance
to
the
skil
,
as
your
eye
and
sence
shall
not
apprehend
,
but
one
sence
and
one
will
by
indiuiduall
connexion
of
two
bodies
in
one
,
and
with
such
pleasant
motions
,
as
if
you
stedfastlye
beholde
them
,
you
would
thinke
them
chayned
to
your
looks
,
and
all
their
actions
in
such
due
time
and
measure
,
as
no
Artist
can
obserue
better
:
the
man
euermore
commaunding
the
horse
as
his
owne
limmes
,
the
voice
,
hand
and
wand
,
legge
and
spurre
,
with
such
pleasing
grace
,
as
when
correction
is
done
,
it
is
so
secret
as
eye
cannot
discerne
,
nor
horse
seeme
to
complaine
,
which
would
not
onelye
rauish
the
beholders
sences
,
but
make
all
acknowledge
man
and
horse
,
to
sacrifice
themselues
to
mans
pleasing
delightes
:
all
which
(
though
they
may
seeme
more
then
wonderful
)
yet
(
because
wonder
is
the
daughter
of
ignorance
)
know
that
wonders
are
no
wonders
in
such
wonderfull
creatures
:
but
fearing
I
haue
runne
too
long
a
cariere
in
this
matter
(
being
vnworthy
to
speake
of
their
worthes
)
I
thinke
fit
herein
to
giue
my
pen
a
ful
stop
,
hoping
and
heartily
praying
,
that
the
famous
Court
of
our
most
renowned
and
gracious
King
may
be
aswell
replenished
with
horsemen
,
as
the
court
of
King
Diomsius
was
with
Phylosophers
,
of
whom
it
is
recorded
,
that
his
whole
Court
through
the
greatnesse
of
their
multitude
,
was
replenished
with
the
dust
of
their
feete
.
And
lastly
,
because
I
wil
(
vno
multa
comprehendere
,
)
entreat
the
Reader
,
that
for
as
much
as
the
excellencye
of
perfect
horse
and
perfect
horsemen
is
so
excellent
,
auncient
and
vniuersall
,
that
no
nation
doth
despise
it
,
nor
barbarous
nation
without
it
,
since
neither
the
discription
,
nor
end
containeth
any
euil
,
the
thing
distributed
cannot
be
euil
,
since
the
effects
be
so
good
,
as
to
teach
goodnesse
,
and
delight
to
the
beholders
and
learners
of
it
,
since
the
honour
of
the
King
,
preseruation
of
his
kingdome
,
and
the
terror
of
the
enemies
dependeth
vppon
it
,
since
the
holy
Scriptures
wherein
is
no
vntruth
hath
recorded
it
moste
honorable
to
all
posteritie
,
to
thinke
as
I
thinke

and
I
thinke
I

the

so
many

without

for

hold
only
the

it

And
for
asmuch
as
the

doe
onely
approoue
those

these
questions
may
be
reasonably
demanded

first
whether
all
the
horses
that
are
bredde
within
the

Countries
are

whether
in

they
doe

haue
perfect

,
to
make
choise
of

from

if
then
they
meane
that
all

then
it
may
bee
reasonably
collected
,
that
they
would
haue

perswaded
that
all
Horses
bred
in

are
good

being
admtited

litle
wil
be
the

onelye
to
gaine
their
obedience
fit
for

of

for
where
all
is
good

there
cannot
bee
deceit
in
choosing
,
but
if
in
some
particuler
place
of
euery
of

they
are
all
excellent
horses
,
then
were
it
expedient
for
them
to
shewe
,
and
for
vs
to
vnderstand
where
those
particuler
places
are
,
and
whether
in
those
particuler
places
there
are
not
some
Iades
aswel
as
good
horses
,
and
also
to
sette
downe
by
speciall
direction
how
to
knowe
those

that
are
bred
in
such
particuler
place
of
goodnes
,
&
the
especial

particuler
ruls
that
doe
approue

the
rather
because
moste
men
euen
of
greatest
place
doe
approue
the
goodnes
of
horses
of
other

much
before
their
owne
,
&
so
might
al

be
assured
of
the
goodnesse
of
their

,
otherwise
the

maketh

But
where
in

there
is
no

there
a
voluntarie

ought
not

:
also
it
would
bee

whether

can
altar

,
or
whether
they
bee
onely
good
that

begotten

because
the

thereof
rooted

it

a

be

:
and
yet
it
is
not
to
bee

,
but
almost
al
the

doe
much
insist
herein

so
as
if
a

how
inestimable
hee
is
valued

prised

and
how
all

desire
him
,
who
can

?
a
verry
strong
implication
to
all
ignorant
men
of
an
excellent
horse
,
as
also
that
those
countries
haue
not
any
bad

such
is
our
weakenes
thorough
want
of

true
iudgement

that
we

horsemen

If

more

doth
any

doubt
that
horses
brought

are
not

more

,
then
the
horses
bred

can

let

Of
the
Ayre
.
FIrst
of
the
Ayre
,
I
deny
that
any
horse
can
absolutely
obteine
or
bee
depriued
of
his
original
and
naturall
qualitie
,
by
the
goodnes
or
badnesse
of
any
Ayre
whatsoeuer
:
although
hee
alter
his
helth
,
or
obscure
the
quality
for
a
time
,
yet
doth
it
not
depriue
him
of
his
naturall
qualitie
,
but
such
as
he
had
from
his
Syer
and
dam
,
such
will
he
be
vnto
his
death
,
although
by
good
or
euill
vsage
,
or
education
he
may
be
either
helped
or
hindered
:
for
the
best
phisitions
&
Philosophers
,
do
hold
that
all
creatures
receiue
their
conditions
and
qualities
at
the
time
of
their
framing
and
not
at
their
birth
,
for
otherwise
nature
were
not
perpetuall
,
so
as
the
ayre
where
they
are
bred
cannot
be
any
speciall
inherent
cause
of
naturall
goodnes
or
badnesse
,
et
res
quaelibet
dominatur
a
suacausa
,
and
euerie
thing
is
gouerned
of
his
own
cause
:
then
if
no
cause
of
naturall
goodnes
,
not
any
naturall
effect
thereof
can
followe
:
the
which
if
it
be
not
naturall
,
then
not
perpetuall
but
accidentall
,
whereof
art
taketh
no
knowledge
,
so
as
the
force
thereof
cannot
depriue
generall
nature
,
for
it
is
a
generall
rule
amongst
all
learned
,
quòd
accidens
in

nullum

Of
the
Water
.
SEcondly
of
the
water
,
which
all
men
know
to
be
a
heauy
element
,
colde
and
moist
,
and
yet
the
water
cannot
aptly
bee
saide
a
meere
Element
of
Water
,
being
mixed
and
vnpure
,
as
our
experience
doth
teach
vs
,
with
Brimstone
,
Allom
,
salt
,
and
such
like
,
&c.
no
more
then
smoke
can
be
said
of
it self
to
be
a
pure
clement
,
but
this
we
know
,
that
it
is
by
nature
colde
and
moist
,
and
the
power
and
vertue
thereof
,
doth
mollysie
and
yeelde
nourishment
more
then
the
aire
to
the
body
,
&
therfore
doth
temperate
&
moderate
the
element
of
fire
in
the
body
,
but
the
same
cannot
any
waies
depriue
original
nature
,
without
depriuation
of
the
subiect
,
being
compounded
of
the
elements
,
wherof
water
is
one
,
(
although
not
such
as
we
see
,
except
it
do
exceed
the
compasse
of
natures
mixture
in
the
creation
of
the
creature
,
for
if
materiall
water
should
alter
the
nature
of
the
Beaste
from
the
qualitie
of
his
originall
creation
,
how
should
hee
bee
fit
for
the
vse
of
man
,
when
necessitie
shall
enforce
him
to
drinke
of
all
waters
?
and
thereby
haue
seuerall
alterations
in
qualitie
,
and
therefore
that
beeing
no
principall
cause
there
cannot
be
any
effect
of
the
alteration
of
original
nature
from
the
creation
.

Of
the
Ground
.
THe
third
&
the
last
is
the
ground
which
is
a
heauie
Element
,
colde
and
drie
,
and
may
well
be
saide
to
bee
the
mother
of
all
bodies
,
the
which
(
according
to
the
Mathematickes
be
deuided
into
mountaines
,
Hilles
,
Vallies
,
Fields
,
Medowes
,
and
such
like
,
the
cause
whereof
the
great
Flouds
and
Windes
,
in
the
time
of
the
generall
inundation
of
the
whole
world
,
haue
so
erected
as
some
learned
doe
maintain
,
and
in
the
first
creation
to
be
otherwise
:
Now
that
the
drynesse
or
wetnesse
,
the
stony
or
shade
,
hils
or
dales
,
should
make
a
new
alteration
of
nature
,
other
then
for
perfection
or
imperfection
of
health
,
or
for
other
accidentall
matter
,
as
the
Fens
and
marshes
doe
witnesse
,
I
cannot
finde
reason
to
perswade
,
although
I
admitte
the
goodnesse
of
the
ground
,
a
meanes
to
many
good
purposes
,
for
preseruation
of
the
temperature
in
the
composition
of
the
creature
,
&
then
being
no
alteration
of
nature
,
other
then
accidentall
,
which
hath
not
perpetuitie
,
I
holde
the
same
no
such
cause
whereupon
any
such
effect
followeth
,
&
consequently
that
the
goodnesse
of
horses
is
not
appropriate
more
to
one
countrie
then
to
another
,
neither
is
,
or
can
be
any
assurance
of
the
natural
goodnes
of
any
horse
,
for
as
ashes
thogh
they
be
compounded
of
the
4.
elements
,
yet
no
naturall
agent
in
the
world
can
corrupt
them
,
or
take
from
them
their
qualitie
agreeable
to
their
nature
,
because
nature
left
to
her
libertie
,
&
to
her
own
order
without
oppressing
her
,
&
turneth
by
little
&
little
to
recouer
the
figur
she
had
before
,
which
could
not
be
,
if
the
same
were
once
depriued
of
his
original
quality
,
which
it
took
at
the
time
of
creation
,
for
nature
neuer
passeth
from
one
extreame
to
another
but
by
the
mean
.

Of
the
colour
of
horses
.
NOw
are
we
to
proceede
to
the
examination
of
the
certainty
of
the
knowledge
that
may
be
taken
from
his
colour
,
which
all
men
most
embrace
,
wherof
my
purpose
is
first
to
name
those
which
they
cal
the
best
.
viz.
Browne
bay
,
dapple-gray
,
black
ful
of
siluer
haires
,
black
like
a
moore
:
the
Roane
bright
bay
,
darke
bay
,
bright
sorrel
,
flea-bitten
,
whitelyard
,
&c.
The
ancient
writers
tel
vs
that
euerie
horse
is
coloured
as
he
is
complexioned
,
&
according
to
complexion
he
is
good
or
euil
conditioned
,
and
as
hee
doth
participate
of
the
Elements
,
so
hee
is
complexioned
,
and
this
is
the
Topica
,
vel
sedes
argumenti
,
the
place
or
seate
of
the
argument
:
affirming
,
that
if
he
haue
most
of
the
element
of
the
fire
,
then
hee
is
cholericke
,
and
therefore
light
,
hot
,
&
fierie
,
and
of
no
great
force
as
the
bright
sorrel
:
but
if
of
the
element
of
water
,
then
dull
,
slowe
,
heauie
,
cold
of
nature
,
and
therefore
most
commonly
milk
white
:
but
if
of
the
element
of
the
Aire
,
then
more
full
of
blood
,
sanguine
,
nimble
,
pleasant
,
and
of
collour
bay
:
but
if
of
the
earth
,
then
melancholly
,
faint-hearted
,
sad
and
heauie
,
and
of
colour
dark
,
dun
,
russet
,
or
blacke
:
and
thereby
seeme
to
conclude
,
that
colours
are
the
demonstrations
of
goodnesse
of
qualitie
:
so
as
by
these
and
such
like
reasons
,
by
continuance
of
time
,
our selues
beeing
desirous
euermore
to
maintaine
and
vpholde
that
we
first
receiue
,
as
the
new
pot
that
retaineth
the
taste
of
the
first
licour
it
was
first
seasoned
with
,
not
hauing
iudgement
truely
to
discerne
the
same
,
being
a
fundamental
point
of
their
doctrine
,
In
this
Art
is
to
be
examined
from
reasons
of
truth
,
and
confutation
of
cauill
,
and
therefore
from
right
institution
.
I
will
begin
with
difinition
,
because
a
man
may
be
well
said
to
knowe
,
when
hee
vnderstandeth
what
it
is
that
hee
doth
handle
:
I
define
complexion
thus
:
Complexto
est
qualitas
que
ex
actione
ad
inuicem
,
&
passione
contrariarum
qualitatum
in
elementis
inventarum
resaltat
,
complexion
is
a
qualitie
or
condition
which
doth
rebound
or
moue
out
of
the
ioynt
action
and
passion
of
contrariety
of
the
qualities
,
moued
in
the
elements
:
of
which
foure
complexions
,
(
whose
fathers
are
the
foure
Elements
)
there
is
a
mixture
of
them
all
,
in
all
the
partes
of
the
body
,
yet
diuerslie
more
inclyned
some
to
one
,
some
to
another
complexion
,
according
to
their
diuersitie
of
their
vses
,
that
of
these
discords
,
a
perfect
harmony
may
bee
made
vp
,
for
a
perfect
complexion
:
but
when
any
part
of
the
body
goeth
to
bee
distempered
,
&
leadeth
to
an
extreamitie
beyond
the
compasse
of
natures
temperate
mixture
,
then
cures
of
contarie
qualities
to
the
intemperate
inclination
of
that
part
,
may
bee
both
necessarie
and
helpfull
for
the
strengthning
and
assisting
nature
in
the
expulsion
of
her
enemies
:
and
I
doe
graunt
,
as
the
learned
doe
say
,
that
there
are
foure
complexions
,
and
likewise
foure
elements
,
but
I
deny
that
euerie
horse
is
coloured
as
he
is
complexioned
:
for
if
the
diuersitie
of
colours
of
horse
haire
should
bee
a
true
demonstration
of
complexions
,
there
would
bee
many
more
complexions
then
there
are
elements
:
and
although
it
bee
true
that
horses
haue
complexions
,
and
also
true
,
touching
the
compositions
of
the
elements
,
yet
it
doth
not
followe
,
neither
doe
I
admitte
that
the
colour
of
their
haire
is
a
demonstration
of
their
complexions
,
or
that
they
be
coloured
according
to
the
temperature
of
the
foure
elements
:
for
the
diuersities
of
their
colours
,
are
to
euerie
mans
eies
witnesses
of
more
colours
then
there
are
complexions
:
besides
,
The

colours
from
the
colours
they
wre
of
at
the
time
of
their
foaling
,
wherein
also
should
be
alteration
of
complexion
:
for
wee
doe
see
the
colour
of
mans
haire
doth
not
truely
manifest
his
complexion
,
for
that
there
are
seuerall
men
both
of
blacke
,
red
,
browne
and
white
hayre
,
and
yet
euerie
one
of
their
complexions
are
perfect
Sanguine
:
so
as
the
diuersitie
of
colour
of
mans
haire
doth
not
declare
the
diuersitie
of
mans
complexion
:
for
the
naturall
cause
of
the
colour
of
mans
haire
,
is
the
grosse
vapour
which
ariseth
from
disgestion
,
that
the
braine
maketh
at
the
time
of
his
nourishment
:
and
looke
what
colour
is
of
the
member
,
such
is
that
of
his
excrements
,
if
the
braine
in
composition
partake
much
of
fleame
,
the
haire
in
growth
is
white
:
if
much
choller
,
saffron
coloured
,
&c.
And
moreouer
Hipocrates
saieth
,
that
the
coloure
of
mans
haire
,
may
alter
with
the
ayre
of
the
countrie
:
wherfore
then
should
it
be
admitted
in
horses
,
to
haue
their
colour
of
haire
according
to
their
complexion
or
temperature
?
and
if
in
horses
,
why
not
in
Kine
,
Sheepe
,
Hogs
,
Dogs
,
and
such
like
?
and
seeing
that
euery
mans
experience
approueth
the
contrary
,
why
should
I
not
say
with
Cicero
,
Experientia
magis
quam
discendo
cognoui
:
I
haue
knowne
more
by
experience
then
by
learning
.
Furthermore
,
if
that
his
haire
should
be
coloured
according
to
his
complexion
,
the
which
I
doe
not
admit
,
but
if
it
were
admitted
,
yet
how
shall
it
be
prooued
,
that
according
to
his
colour
he
is
well
or
euill
conditioned
?
For
if
by
condition
they
meane
his
good
or
bad
action
,
and
the
goodnes
of
his
worke
&
qualitie
,
then
is
their
proposition
also
vntrue
:
for
euery
creature
worketh
according
to
his
nature
,
and
all
learning
doth
deny
,
that
complexion
and
nature
are
in
all
parts
one
and
the
same
:
for
the
learned
doe
know
that
the
temperature
of
the
Elements
is
termed
Nature
,
and
that
is
the
schoolemaister
that
doth
teach
the
sensitiue
soule
of
the
Horse
what
to
doe
:
Animi
mores
corporis
tempe
ratur
imsequūtur●
and
according
to
that
temperature
doth
one
bruite
beast
better
performe
the
workes
of
his
kinde
then
another
,
but
that
shall
neuer
be
found
true
,
in
respect
of
the
colour
or
that
the
temperature
of
the
Elements
is
manifested
in
his
coloure
:
againe
some
Horses
are
of
many
colours
,
&
then
,
acording
to
their
rule
,
of
many
complexions
:
and
if
complexion
were
admitted
simply
for
Nature
,
then
by
consequence
of
reason
,
of
many
natures
,
&
so
of
many
diuers
and
seuerall
workes
,
and
qualitie
of
workes
:
Notwithstanding
,
for
further
examination
of
their
infallible
rules
,
wherwith
the
whole
world
is
blinded
,
let
vs
come
to
the
vse
practise
and
daily
experience
of
colours
:
and
let
our
great
loue
to
colours
,
set
spectacles
vppon
them
,
to
make
their
excellencie
appeare
greater
,
clearer
and
more
glorious
then
they
are
,
and
examine
the
moste
best
and
generally
admitted
coloure
,
called
Browne
baye
,
which
is
termed
the
best
at
al
assayes
:
and
which
the
Frenchmen
do
call
Bayarie
loyal
:
trusty
Bayard
,
being
noted
the
generall
and
chiefe
Captaine
of
all
coloures
,
&
let
me
aske
any
Horseman
,
in
whome
knowledge
and
practise
doth
reside
,
whether
all
Horses
of
that
coloure
without
exception
,
are
good
,
if
al
be
not
,
then
the
rule
for
coloure
fayleth
,
and
then
by
consequence
,
the
coloure
for
haire
procedeth
not
from
complexion
,
for
if
all
baye
colour
be
principallie
good
,
then
whosoeuer
hath
liued
,
and
hath
his
sight
to
know
baye
colour
,
needeth
no
further
or
more
knowledge
to
knowe
a
good
Horse
,
and
if
that
coloure
bee
onely
the
best
,
then
no
Horses
so
good
as
those
.
An other
question
I
would
demaund
,
whether
there
are
not
as
good
Horses
of
other
colours
,
the
which
if
it
be
admitted
,
then
the
colour
from
complexion
fayleth
.
Moreouer
if
yet
you
rest
not
satisfied
,
I
will
set
down
the
wordes
of
two
learned
writers
,
that
after
longe
discourse
thereof
,
say
that
de
pilo
diuersi
diuersa
sentiunt
of
the
colours
of
haire
diuers
doe
diuerslie
thinke
.
And
Ouid
&
Virgill
two
famous
learned
men
,
are
direct
opposite
each
to
the
other
in
opinion
of
colour
of
horses
:
the
one
of
them
affirming
the
white
colour
best
,
and
the
other
denying
the
same
,
beeing
a
colour
according
to
the
rule
of
complexion
the
moste
worst
:
and
yet
I
could
giue
excellent
examples
of
the
goodnesse
of
white
horses
,
but
the
more
this
cause
is
handled
,
the
more
the
error
of
colour
is
manifest
:
but
as
I
haue
saide
for
this
matter
experientia
omnium
rerum
certissima
moderatrix
,
experience
is
the
best
moderator
of
this
controuersie
.
Now
if
you
will
yeeld
your selfe
to
heare
the
originall
of
these
former
errors
,
vnderstand
that
the
best
writers
hereof
haue
ben
much
abused
,
for
Opianus
saith
,
that
colours
of
horses
were
chosen
and
maintained
for
hunting
of
wilde
beastes
,
because
(
saith
he
)
the
colour
of
some
horses
is
hatefull
to
some
beastes
more
then
to
others
:
and
vppon
such
like
causes
haue
the
learned
writers
alowed
colours
,
leauing
to
posterity
their
opinions
what
colours
they
thought
best
for
such
actions
:
since
which
,
some
writers
seeming
(
or
at
least
making
shew
to
vnderstand
much
,
making
greate
Bookes
of
diuersitie
of
matter
,
haue
set
downe
colour
a
principall
cause
of
a
good
horse
,
so
as
by
translating
and
taking
notes
out
of
other
mens
labours
vntruely
,
collecting
and
adding
their
owne
conceits
(
not
being
able
to
vnderstand
the
naturall
causes
)
they
haue
made
al
men
almost
be
caryed
away
with
toies
,
and
not
with
true
iudgement
,
&
thereof
do
notwithstanding
wonderfully
tryumph
,
playing
as
he
that
hath
gotten
nothing
,
holdeth
it
fast
,
so
as
if
the
horse
be
a
brown-bay
,
with
a
white
starre
,
white
foote
,
or
such
like
,
he
is
valued
oftentimes
more
then
he
is
thrice
worth
.
Thus
hath
many
ages
taken
that
for
a
cause
,
which
is
no
cause
:
there
is
nothing
more
true
,
then
that
the
goodnesse
of
the
cause
is
the
goodnesse
of
the
effect
,
for
as
Bernard
well
noteth
,
si
bona
fuerit
causa
pugnantis
,
pugnae
exitus
malus
esse
non
potest
,
if
the
cause
of
a
quarell
be
good
,
the
effect
and
issue
thereof
cannot
be
euill
:
and
as
I
haue
said
,
so
I
say
still
,
that
all
true
knowledge
seeketh
after
the
beginning
and
cause
of
thinges
to
attaine
to
the
knowledge
and
effect
of
the
thing
,
and
from
the
effects
and
euents
to
finde
the
knowledge
of
the
cause
:
Thus
you
see
that
to
depend
vppon
speech
without
probable
reason
,
and
without
shewing
the
cause
of
such
things
as
they
publish
to
the
world
,
doth
infect
with
error
all
those
that
entertaine
the
same
,
and
will
dayly
increase
so
long
as
they
sectari
riuulos
&
non
petere
fontes
,
thinke
the
spring
clearer
then
the
fountaine
,
Faelix
qui
potuit
rerum
cognoscere
causas
.
it
is
scientia
sciolorum
quae
est
iusta
ignorantia
,
it
is
the
knowledge
of
the
pretended
knower
that
is
ignorant
:
but
where
true
knowledge
&
practise
concur
,
there
&
not
elsewhere
truth
shineth
.

Of

markes

ANother
matter
alleaged
by
the
writers
,
Non
tam
imperto
nobi●
opus
quam
exemplo
.
to
know
a
good
horse
is
his
markes
,
but
for
asmuch
as
I
haue
stayed
about
the
displaying
of
the
colour
,
I
purpose
not
to
stay
about
a
particuler
part
of
colour
,
whereof
the
Italian
writers
haue
drawn
particuler
names
,
from
whome
(
as
people
apt
to
imitation
)
the
common
people
willingly
entertaine
the
same
,
and
the
horses
so
marked
(
for
example
presseth
more
then
law
,
and
the
eyes
&
thoughts
of
the
lesser
,
are
alwaies
vppon
the
great
)
and
therefore
when
a
horse
hath
a
white
foote
or
a
white
marke
,
they
say
he
is
excellent
good
,
and
him
the
Italian
calleth
Balzano
,
but
say
if
the
white
extend
high
&
large
,
that
betokeneth
debilitie
,
because
(
say
they
)
whitenes
betokeneth
weakenes
,
dulnes
,
and
such
like
,
and
that
they
call
Balzani
,
&
so
running
in
the
path
of
their
owne
pride
as
a

no

assurance
of
a

,
then
the
hauing
a
feather
in
a
mans
hat
,
doth
proue
him
a
good
man
or
a
bad
,
which
by
seeing
and
practise
,
you
will
sooner
beleeue
,
then
my
saying
can
perswade
,
for
vndoubtedly
you
shall
finde
good
and
bad
of
all
colours
,
and
without
markes
.
But
men
hauing
bene
perswaded
especially
by
strangers
to
those
obseruations
,
al
men
are
possessed
therewith
by
custome
,
and
haue
sought
to
breed
by
such
mares
and
horses
that
haue
bene
so
coloured
and
marked
as
infallible
tokens
of
their
goodnesse
,
whereby
great
multitudes
of
those
colours
and
markes
haue
bene
generally
bred
,
and
thereby
receaued
and
esteemed
of
great
value
,
beeing
accompted
true
noates
of
good
horses
:
how
truely
may
it
be
said
,
consuetudo
piccandi
tollit

,
the
custome
of
dooing
euill
maketh
men
sencelesse
and
without
feeling
of
that
is
euil
,
which
maketh
a
monster
in
nature
,
when
as
seeing
their
owne
experience
,
wil
not
beleeue
so
true
experience
.
And
therefore
I
conclude
with
Augustine
,
consuetudinem
vincere
dura

,
to
ouercome
custome
is
a
hard
fight
.

Now
of
his
shape
.
THe
last
thing
the
writers
affirme
to
knowe
a
good
horse
,
is
his
shape
,
which
originally
as
it
issued
from
the
hands
of
God
,
was
no
doubt
most
excellent
,
for
the
workes
of
God
were
all
perfect
,
but
the
particuler
obseruations
and
discriptions
of
perfect
shape
,
Nihil
est
sine
mensura
ac
partium
proportion-formosum
.
This
rule
is
generally
to
be
obserued
in
the
shape
of
a
horses
discription
.
are
in
number
about
thirtie
,
the
which
I
will
recite
and
giue
some
short
answere
to
euerie
particuler
,
as
they
are
by
them
recyted
,
onely
to
mooue
you
to
carefull
consideration
to
vnderstand
what
they
accompted
perfect
shape
:
which
being
deuided
into
4
parts
,
3.
parts
therof
,
are
as
well
incident
&
proper
to
Iades
,
as
to
good
horses
,
and
therein
I
wish
you
to
obserue
their
incertaintie
for
your
vnderstanding
,
&
I
will
begin
with
the
hooue
,
&
so
ascend
til
the
whole
body
be
described
:
First
therefore
they
say
that
the
hooue
should
be
black
,
smoothe
,
dry
,
large
,
round
and
hollow
:
and
some
write
,
that
if
it
bee
soft
and
tender
,
and
the
heele
broad
,
it
is
a
signe
of
lightnesse
,
and
that
the
Horse
will
from
his
foaling
,
treade
light
vpon
the
ground
,
being
affraide
to
trust
his
hooues
,
beeing
tender
,
and
therefore
streyneth
his
forelegs
-
and
back
the
more
.
First
,
for
briefe
answere
heerein
,
there
appeareth
contrarietie
in
the
description
,
and
yet
both
are
herein
commended
:
and
yet
the
learned
say
,
contraria
non
solum
substantia
sunt
seperata
,
sed
etiam
pugnant
inu●●em
,
contraries
are
not
onely
seperated
in
substance
,
but
doe
each
of
them
fight
against
the
other
:
for
all
contaries
are
either
immediate
or
mediate
,
as
if
a
man
would
thus
reason
:
aut
dies
aut
nox
est
,
either
it
is
day
or
night
:
of
which
if
you
allow
one
,
the
other
is
taken
away
:
but
to
say
that
a
man
either
sits
,
or
walks
,
is
no
contrarietie
,
although
no
man
can
doe
both
at
one
time
,
for
a
man
may
do
neither
,
as
he
that
lyeth
down
:
but
here
the
drie
hooue
is
commended
,
therefore
the
moiste
,
and
soft
hooue
is
discommended
,
but
aswel
a
good
Horse
as
a
bad
Horse
may
haue
a
drie
hoofe
,
&
there
is
not
any
Horse
can
be
saide
to
haue
a
perfect
hoofe
,
that
hath
a
moist
or
soft
hoofe
:
and
yet
the
greater
commendations
is
attributed
to
the
soft
hoofe
,
because
(
say
they
)
it
betokeneth
lightnes
:
but
if
a
man
might
thus
reason
,
a
drie
hoofe
is
naught
,
because
it
is
brittle
,
and
easily
becommeth
hoofe-bound
:
and
a
soft
hoofe
is
naught
,
because
it
is
a
flat
or
pumish
hoofe
,
which
cannot
be
deep
of
hoofe
,
so
as
he
cannot
be
a
horse
of
continuance
,
no
more
can
he
be
bold
of
his
feet
as
other
Horses
,
and
especially
,
if
he
be
not
very
skilfully
shod
:
neither
dare
he
vse
his
feete
boldly
vppon
stony
and
hard
grounds
,
and
therby
becommeth
fearfull
and
yeelding
,
and
so
not
sure
footed
:
but
if
it
be
said
that
good
shooing
may
altogether
helpe
that
faulte
,
I
answere
,
good
shooing
may
doe
some
good
,
but
not
to
the
perfction
of
the
hoofe
,
but
only
to
succour
the
vnperfection
thereof
:
good
Smithes
are
rare
to
be
found
,
but
how
if
he
be
euill
shod
(
as
it
is
ten
to
one
amongst
common
Smithes
)
is
he
not
more
then
halfe
spoiled
?
besides
it
is
vnperfect
,
for
it
cannot
be
of
continuance
as
a
deepe
hoofe
:
&
because
it
must
be
intended
only
of
the
forefoot
it
is
the
worse
.
And
all
thinges
must
be
considered
and
allowed
,
that
are
in
perfection
,
which
is
mediocritie
,
&
not
in
their
imperfection
,
which
is
euermore
in
extreames
,
therefore
to
be
reiected
:
besides
,
if
the
hoofe
should
bee
hollowe
and
drie
,
it
cannot
be
perfect
,
for
then
by
the
hollownes
it
would
be
the
more
dryer
.
Againe
,
to
haue
it
large
and
round
is
not
perfect
,
for
thereby
it
will
be
fleshie
and
club-footed
,
which
is
propper
to
Iades
:
and
as
to
the
tendernes
of
his
foote
,
that
it
should
be
a
signe
of
lightnes
,
as
it
hath
no
truth
so
it
hath
no
reason
to
defend
it
,
but
a
plaine
and
manifest
demonstration
of
fearefulnesse
,
by
reason
of
his
tender
hoofes
:
and
how
he
should
vppon
trauell
strain
his
fore-legges
,
and
his
backe
and
spare
his
hoofes
,
I
cannot
vnderstand
,
but
sure
I
am
that
such
horses
cannot
long
continue
or
endure
hard
trauel
for
mans
vse
,
the
end
of
his
creation
consisting
altogether
in
action
and
nor
otherwise
.
2.
The
second
rule
is
,
that
his
hoofes
should
bee
small
and
heauie
:
I
answere
,
that
the
former
commendation
of
a
large
hoofe
,
and
now
of
a
small
hoofe
are
somewhat
repugnant
,
yet
I
gather
,
and
I
thinke
I
gather
truelie
,
that
their
meaning
is
that
the
Cronet
of
the
hoofe
should
bee
small
and
heauie
:
to
which
I
answere
,
if
the
smallnesse
,
howsoeuer
it
bee
taken
,
be
not
answerable
to
the
ioint
,
it
is
naught
,
&
that
it
should
bee
hayry
,
I
answere
:
if
hee
haue
a
good
Fetterlocke
it
is
good
,
in
that
it
answereth
his
nature
,
and
yet
the
ioynt
may
bee
bare
without
hayre
,
and
yet
a
good
horse
,
but
beeing
not
part
of
his
shape
I
leaue
it
.
3.
That
his
pasternes
should
bee
short
,
neither
to
lowe
nor
too
high
,
&
therby
strong
beneath
,
and
not
apt
to
fownder
:
I
answere
that
his
pasternes
should
bee
answerable
in
length
and
shortnesse
to
the
naturall
and
equall
proportion
of
the
body
,
and
the
shortnesse
of
the
pasterne
is
no
more
assurance
of
strength
,
then
to
say
,
that
euerie
thing
that
is
short
is
strong
,
or
that
euerie
short
boned
beast
is
strong
,
for
the
strength
of
the
pasterne
is
the
vprightnesse
thereof
,
and
not
the
shortnesse
:
doe
you
not
often
see
a
weake
Horse
to
haue
a
short
pasterne
,
and
a
great
weake
Horse
to
haue
a
greate
and
short
pasterne
,
bending
and
bowing
in
his
pasterne
,
although
it
bee
short
:
And
as
for
aptnesse
of
foundring
,
is
a
rule
without
reason
,
for
as
a
short
pasterne
preserueth
not
a
horse
from
foundring
:
no
more
is
a
long
pasterne
the
cause
of
fowndring
and
when
you
vnderstand
the
cause
of
fowndring
:
and
whence
it
proceedeth
,
you
will
reiect
the
rule
.
4.
That
his
ioynts
ought
to
be
great
,
with
long
fetter-lockes
behinde
,
and
that
the
same
is
a
signe
of
force
,
I
answere
the
greatnes
of
his
ioynts
,
are
words
doubtfull
,
because
they
may
be
great
of
bone
,
without
much
flesh
,
which
of
it selfe
is
good
:
and
yet
may
a
great
leane
ioynted
Horse
be
weak
&
a
Iade
,
but
the
greatnesse
of
ioynt
must
be
answerable
to
the
proportion
of
his
body
,
otherwise
the
great
ioynt
little
auaileth
:
and
as
to
his
long
fetter
lockes
,
it
may
bee
a
token
of
a
moiste
constitution
,
and
not
of
strength
,
for
then
the
more
haire
the
more
strength
,
but
his
strength
lyeth
not
in
his
haire
as
Sampsons
did
,
neither
is
it
any
part
of
his
shape
.
5.
That
his
legges
ought
to
bee
streight
and
broade
,
I
answere
,
if
you
consider
onely
the
streightnes
and
broadnesse
of
his
fore
legges
it
is
good
,
but
if
heerein
you
consider
his
hinder
legges
,
they
may
bee
broade
and
crooked
in
the
ham
,
and
yet
verie
good
,
I
neuer
condemne
his
shape
therein
,
if
his
action
be
good
,
and
of
continuance
,
whereof
this
giueth
no
certaintie
.
6
That
his
knees
should
be
great
,
leane
and
plaine
,
I
answere
,
that
the
same
are
all
good
for
shape
,
and
yet
we
see
Iades
to
be
so
shaped
as
wel
as
the
good
horses
.
7
That
his
thighes
should
bee
full
of
sinewes
,
the
bones
whereof
to
be
short
,
equall
,
iust
,
and
well
proportioned
:
that
when
he
standeth
with
his
legs
together
,
there
should
bee
more
distant
one
from
another
towards
the
brest
then
beneath
:
I
answere
,
for
the
fulnesse
of
sinewes
,
nature
frameth
in
qualitie
and
number
al
a
like
,
as
many
in
one
horse
as
in
another
,
otherwise
there
should
be
a
defect
in
nature
,
which
as
it
is
vniuersall
,
doth
not
erre
:
moreouer
,
the
proposition
is
such
as
I
know
not
how
a
man
should
attaine
to
a
certaine
knowledge
thereof
vpon
the
viewe
of
any
horse
,
when
the
same
is
not
to
bee
seene
by
the
eye
:
and
as
to
equalitie
of
proportion
,
it
is
perfection
of
shape
in
all
creatures
,
and
therefore
to
bee
allowed
:
and
as
to
the
distance
betwixt
his
legges
,
is
altogether
from
the
fulnesse
and
breadth
of
the
breast
,
which
causeth
the
distance
:
for
otherwise
it
were
to
be
attributed
to
the
fatnes
or
leannes
of
the
horse
,
which
is
accidentall
,
and
therfore
vncertaine
.
8.
That
his
shoulders
should
bee
long
,
large
,
&
full
of
flesh
:
I
answere
,
that
the
length
and
largenes
should
be
answerable
in
proportion
to
his
body
,
and
beeing
so
it
is
verie
good
,
but
as
to
the
fulnesse
of
flesh
it
is
more
or
lesse
by
good
or
bad
keeping
,
and
no
part
of
shape
,
and
aswell
incident
to
Iades
as
to
good
horses
.
9.
That
his
breast
shold
be
large
&
round
,
I
answere
it
is
verie
good
,
and
yet
a
Iade
may
be
so
.
10
That
his
necke
should
bee
rather
long
then
short
,
great
towards
the
brest
,
bending
in
the
midst
,
and
slender
towards
the
head
.
I
answere
,
if
it
bee
not
set
on
as
the
necke
of
a
Hog
or
Goate
right
forward
it
is
good
,
and
the
longer
and
higher
reard
,
the
better
shape
,
and
yet
no
assurance
of
a
good
horse
.
11.
That
his
eares
should
be
small
,
sharpe
,
and
vpright
:
I
answere
it
is
comelines
,
and
a
good
shape
,
&
yet
no
assurance
of
goodnes
.
12.
That
his
fore-head
should
be
leane
and
large
:
I
answere
,
if
that
largenes
bee
intended
both
of
breadth
and
length
,
according
to
naturall
proportion
,
it
is
good
,
otherwise
the
largenesse
may
be
deformitie
of
shape
.
13.
That
his
eies
should
be
great
and
blacke
,
I
answere
it
is
a
very
good
shape
.
14.
That
the
hollownes
of
his
browes
be
well
filled
,
&
shooting
outward
,
I
answer
the
filling
vp
of
the
holownes
of
his
browes
is
verie
good
,
but
the
shooting
out
may
breede
deformity
,
if
it
bee
fleshye
and
doe
much
ouerhang
the
eye
,
especially
if
the
eye
be
small
:
otherwise
good
shape
.
15.
That
his
Iawes
should
bee
slender
and
leane
,
I
answere
it
is
a
perfect
and
good
shape
.
16.
That
his
nostrils
should
be
open
,
and
puffed
vp
as
you
may
see
the
red
within
,
apt
for
ayre
:
I
answere
,
the
nostrils
may
seeme
greater
and
redder
vpon
the
violence
or
motion
of
the
horse
,
but
a
wide
nostril
is
part
of
a
good
shape
,
but
I
reiect
altogether
flitting
of
horse
nostrils
to
let
in
ayre
,
although
the
nostrils
be
little
,
as
though
nature
were
defectiue
therin
,
not
considering
the
cause
of
the
perishing
of
the
horses
winde
,
which
is
not
in
the
nostrill
,
&
therefore
neither
helped
nor
hindred
thereby
,
as
the
French
,
&
some
English
Ferrars
suppose
:
17
Moreouer
the
streightnesse
for
the
receiuing
of
breath
is
not
in
the
lower
end
of
the
nosthrill
,
but
in
the
caues
and
streight
passages
,
high
towards
the
fore-head
,
wherein
if
by
any
humors
the
same
are
straighted
or
hindred
,
therein
is
the
receiuing
or
deliuerie
of
the
winde
hindred
,
or
by
obstruction
or
opilation
of
the
lungs
&
not
otherwise
,
and
then
slitting
is
ridiculous
.
18.
That
he
ought
to
haue
a
great
mouth
,
I
answere
that
it
is
parte
of
a
good
shape
.
19.
That
his
head
should
be
like
a
sheepes
head
,
I
answer
that
sheepes
heads
,
beeing
as
other
beasts
are
,
of
diuers
shapes
,
it
cannot
be
directly
answered
,
for
if
I
should
conceiue
the
shape
thereof
contrary
to
the
writers
meaning
,
I
should
wrong
them
,
&
therefore
leaue
it
to
be
described
heereafter
according
to
my
owne
knowledge
therein
,
but
if
you
take
it
according
to
the
proportion
of
the
most
sheep
,
it
is
good
.
20.
That
his
Mane
should
be
thin
and
long
,
and
yet
not
disliking
thicknesse
,
and
that
the
thinnesse
betokeneth
aptnes
to
be
taught
,
so
the
thicknes
strength
,
I
answere
it
is
no
part
of
shape
,
but
an
ornament
to
the
shape
,
&
as
to
the
thinnes
,
to
betoken
aptnes
,
or
thicknes
,
strength
,
is
of
as
great
force
in
reason
as
the
thick
or
thin
beard
of
a
man
,
giueth
neither
aptnes
of
wit
or
increase
of
strength
,
but
rather
a
token
of
a
dry
or
of
a
moist
constitution
.
21.
That
his
withers
and
walleyes
should
be
sharpe
pointed
,
right
and
streight
,
so
as
a
man
may
see
from
thence
the
departure
of
his
shoulders
,
I
answere
it
is
perfect
good
shape
,
and
yet
he
may
be
a
Iade
.
22.
That
his
back
would
be
short
,
eeuen
&
plain
,
I
answere
,
it
is
very
good
shape
,
but
no
assurance
of
goodnes
23.
That
his
sides
should
bee
long
and
large
,
with
small
space
betwixt
the
hinder
Ribbe
and
the
Huckle-bone
,
I
answere
it
is
very
good
shape
,
but
no
assurance
of
his
goodnes
.
24.
That
his
belly
should
be
long
and
great
,
orderly
hidden
vnder
his
ribs
,
I
answere
it
is
verie
good
shape
and
yet
no
assurance
of
goodnes
.
25
That
his
flanke
should
be
ful
and
not
gaunt
,
with
naturall
friezled
haire
on
both
sides
,
and
the
higher
such
haires
mowt
the
better
,
I
answere
,
the
fulnesse
of
his
flanke
is
comely
in
shape
,
&
the
friesled
haires
are
no
part
of
shape
,
neither
of
any
importance
other
then
satisfaction
to
some
mens
delights
,
althogh
some
men
of
place
and
speciall
note
haue
greatly
commended
it
vnto
me
,
but
I
could
not
conceaue
any
reason
from
other
then
a
liking
of
a
receiued
tradition
,
neither
of
any
moment
by
obseruation
.
26.
That
his
Rump
should
be
round
&
plaine
with
large
space
betwixt
the
huckle
bones
,
I
answere
it
is
verie
comely
and
good
shape
,
but
no
good
horse
.
27.
That
his
thighes
should
be
large
and
long
,
with
bones
wel
fashioned
&
full
of
flesh
,
I
answere
,
if
it
bee
proportionable
to
naturall
shape
,
it
is
good
,
&
to
the
fulnes
of
flesh
according
to
his
goodnes
of
keeping
.
28.
That
his
hams
shold
be
leane
,
dry
and
streight
,
I
answere
it
is
verie
good
,
&
yet
no
assurance
of
goodnes
.
29.
That
his
hooues
should
be
large
&
croked
like
a
Hart
,
should
be
a
signe
of
swiftnes
,
I
answer
,
the
largenes
of
his
hooue
ought
to
be
proportionable
,
and
it
is
good
,
but
that
the
crookednes
betokeneth
swiftnes
,
is
meerely
a
conceite
,
for
although
some
Horses
that
are
crooked
be
swift
,
some
also
that
are
straight
are
swift
,
&
therfore
it
giueth
no
certain
assurance
therof
.
30.
That
his
taile
should
be
ful
of
haires
,
long
downe
to
the
ground
:
or
as
some
write
that
his
taile
should
be
thin
and
crispe
,
I
answere
that
they
are
toyes
,
and
conceits
without
reason
,
neither
any
parte
of
shape
but
onely
an
ornament
to
shape
.
31.
That
his
truncheon
should
be
of
measurable
bignes
&
wel
cowched
,
I
answere
that
the
bignes
is
nothing
but
the
comlines
of
cowching
and
cariage
,
is
commendable
.
32.
That
his
stones
and
yard
should
be
small
,
I
answer
I
hold
it
fit
to
be
proportionable
to
the
body
,
&
otherwise
not
materiall
.
33.
That
he
should
be
proportioned
like
a
Stag
,
lower
before
then
behinde
,
I
answere
if
he
be
lower
before
,
it
is
absolutely
naught
,
if
in
the
only
seat
of
the
saddle
lowe
,
&
forward
high
reared
,
thogh
he
be
somwhat
reared
behinde
,
it
is
good
,
and
the
comparison
in
the
generall
naught
.

The
naturall
good
quallities
of
Horses
,
in
their
primary
creation
.
GEntle
Reader
,
it
hath
bene
briefly
shewed
,
aswel
what
the
ancient
and
late
writers
haue
obserued
and
published
,
for
the
knowledge
of
good
horses
,
namely
from
the
Countries
,
Ayer
,
Ground
,
complexion
,
colour
,
marke
,
and
shape
:
whereby
appeareth
,
that
man
is
a
subiect
wonderfully
diuers
,
and
wauering
,
vppon
whome
it
seemeth
verye
difficult
to
settle
an
assured
iudgement
,
I
say
,
a
iudgement
vniuersall
and
entire
,
by
reason
of
the
great
contrarietie
and
disagreement
of
their
iudgement
,
which
doe
so
many
times
contradict
one
th'
other
,
in
so
strange
a
manner
,
that
it
seemeth
vnpossible
they
should
all
come
foorth
of
one
,
and
the
same
shop
;
wee
alter
and
wee
feele
it
not
,
we
escape
as
it
were
from
our selues
,
and
we
rob
our selues
:
Ipsi
nobis
furto
subducimur
:
we
goe
after
the
inclination
of
our
will
,
Anima
legit
ratio
.
and
as
the
winde
of
occasion
carrieth
vs
,
not
according
to

:
At
nihil
potest
esse
aequabile
quod
non
a
certa
ratione
proficiscatur
:
Our
spirits
also
&
our
humors
are
changed
with
the
change
of
time
,
our
proceedings
are
very
heady
and
peremptorie
:
for
we
haue
no
patience
to
consult
with
reason
,
but
determine
meerly
vpon
fancie
:
he
that
is
hot
in
the
pursuite
of
what
he
liketh
,
none
sooner
weary
,
herein
alone
he
is
good
for
a
common
wealth
,
making
more
busines
then
time
it selfe
,
and
in
a
word
,
any
thing
rather
then
himselfe
:
&
therefore
I
affirme
that
it
is
impossible
without
full
knowledge
of
the
originall
cause
of
their
goodnes
(
wherein
I
dare
affirme
the
best
that
haue
written
reymaned
ignorant
)
certainlye
to
expresse
,
&
assuredly
to
manyfest
the
naturall
goodnes
of
Horses
,
without
proofe
and
tryall
.
For
how
is
it
possible
to
clense
a
riuer
or
spring
that
is
corrupt
,
from
corruption
,
that
beginneth
not
at
the
head
from
whence
the
water
commeth
?
&
if
the
originall
fountaine
cannot
be
found
,
dooth
not
the
same
of
necessitie
,
still
remaine
corrupt
?
therefore
Summa
est
dementia
in
corum
fidem
sperare
,
quorum
perfidia
comperta
est
,
It
is
meere
madnesse
to
repose
trust
in
infidelitie
,
Sed
vbi
cognoscitur
vnde
morbus

natus
,

inueniri

,
but
when
the
knowledge
of
true
causes
are
certainely
knowne
&
vnderstood
,
there
is
great
hope
of
good
effects
of
true
iudgement
:
If
then
it
shall
appeare
in
this
my
tractate
,
that
all
former
writers
of
this
subiect
,
haue
bene
ignorant
of
the
originall
causes
of
the
goodnes
of
Horses
,
maruaile
not
that
huius
erroris
tantique

the
great
decay
of

Horses
,
&
the
manifolde
errors
in
Horsemanship
,
and
the
increase
of
the
infinite
and
intollerable
number
of
Iades
,
do
so
swarme
within
this
kingdome
,
and
elsewhere
vpon
the
face
of
the
earth
,
so
as
in
place
of
one
true
perfect
shaped
Horse
,
there
are
a
thousand
Iades
,
to
the
dishonour
of
king
and
Country
.
Will
any
gather
fine
and
pleasant
fruite
from
trees
before
the
same
be
fully
ripe
,
&
fit
to
be
eaten
,
but
such
as
are

without

?
and
can
any
truly

thorough

,
Art

and
hath
thereunto
submitted
himselfe
,
and
disgested
by
experience
,
the
whole
substance
&

of
this
Arte
?
Where
is
hee
to
be
found
,
that
hath
laboured
and
spent
his
time
in
the
true
knowledge
,
of
Nature
,
art
&
practise
of
horsmanship
(
but
onely
in
some
particular
part
therof
)
without
which
it
is
impossible
to
haue
a
true
and
sound
iudgement
therein
,
because
the
same
is
as
a
body
,
consisting
of
many
particular
members
,
how
then
can
the
whole
Arte
of
Horsemanship
be
knowne
,
before
euery
parte
thereof
bee
knowne
?
If
a
Gentleman
endeauour
to
be
learned
in
the
Lawes
of
this
Kingdome
,
doth
he
not
first
come
to
an
Inne
of
chauncerie
,
,
and
there
continue
one
yeare
or
two
,
to
learne
the
Lawe
French
,
and
to
read
bookes
fit
for
a
young
student
,
and
then
goe
to
an
Inne
of
Court
,
and
must
painefully
study
eight
or
nine
yeares
before
he
be
called
to
the
Bar
,
&
after
he
is
called
diligently
and
studiously
for
diuers
yeres
,
keepe
his
vacations
and
excercise
of
learning
,
both
in
the
house
and
publikely
abroad
,
in
Innes
of
Chauncery
to
be
aprooued
of
his
study
,
and
if
he
be
then
thought
and
aprooued
sufficient
,
within
few
yeares
after
called
to
bee
a
Reader
,
in
an
Inne
of
Chancery
,
for
one
,
two
,
or
three
yeares
together
,
before
he
be
suffred
or
vndertake
to
practise
?
And
is
not
euery
base
manuell
trades-man
an
Apprentise
,
and
Iournyman
before
he
be
admitted
a
Maister
of
his
Arte
?
how
then
shall
it
be
possible
for
a
Gentleman
to
attaine
perfection
,
in
so
honourable
and
difficult
an
Art
as
Horsemanship
,
without
many
yeares
study
and
practise
,
when
as
all
Kings
,
Princes
,
and
Nobilitie
,
become
Schollers
for
many
yeares
,
onely
to
attaine
to
ride
well
(
beeing
but
a
particular
parte
of
Horsemanship
)
And
shall
any
that
hath
vnderstanding
onely
in
part
,
presume
sufficiencie
of
vnderstanding
,
truely
to
write
of
the
whole
Arte
?
I
know
there
is
not
any
thing
more
opposite
to
the
practise
of
this
time
,
and
writings
of
others
,
then
this
my
labour
,
and
yet
I
haue
notwithstanding
aduentured
,
Lupum
auribus
tenere
,
to
holde
the
Woolfe
by
the
Eares
,
bitten
while
I
holde
,
and
slaine
when
I
lose
,
knowing
that
difficult
thinges
doe
euermore
come
slowly
and
dangerouslie
forward
,
and
cannot
shew
themselues
manifestly
together
at
one
instant
,
but
are
from
time
to
time
augmented
and
brought
to
better
order
,
whereby
the
nature
of
euerie
thing
(
according
to
natures
desire
)
is
most
best
knowne
and
discerned
in
the
end
,
&
the
end
to
a
generallitie
of
perfection
,
so
as
in
all
Arts
their
good
is
the
end
,
&
can
the
end
and
perfection
of
any
Arte
be
more
excellent
good
,
and
more
worthy
of
a
subiects
pen
to
bee
treated
of
then
of
the
true
knowledge
of
the
honourable
Arte
of
Horsemanship
,
the
increase
of
strength
,
the
honour
of
the
king
,
and
preseruation
of
the
kingdome
?
what
if
the
same
be
resisted
with
the
bitter
humor
of
Zoilisme
and
malice
,
a
thing
not
greatly
to
be
meruailed
,
for
so
much
as
that
which
is
easiest
,
is
still
most
vsual
:
but
if
any
are
so
euil
created
to
bee
malicious
detracters
(
whose
reason
cannot
shewe
so
reasonable
to
leaue
reasoning
in
thinges
aboue
their
reason
)
I
leaue
them
to
their
dismembred
fractions
,
and
to
the
vsarie
of
their
owne
desires
,
and
onely
endeuour
to
establish
the
vnstable
iudgement
in
the
true
knowledg
of
a
good
horse
,
and
will
set
downe
the
naturall
quallities
that
were
in
euerie
horse
at
his
first
creation
,
without
which
,
no
horse
can
truly
be
called
a
good
horse
,
which
by
mans
transgression
lye
secret
and
hid
in
man
,
and
by
naturall
abilitie
of
man
may
be
restored
to
a
full
and
sufficient
perfection
for
mans
vse
,
&
though
not
in
the
superlatiue
excellencie
as
they
issued
from
the
hands
of
God
,
for
as
God
gaue
vnto
Adam
all
perfection
that
might
be
in
mankinde
,
so
hee
gaue
all
perfection
to
those
creatures
which
were
immediately
created
by
him
:
for
nothing
issued
from
the
hands
of
God
ill
shaped
or
vnperfect
,
and
as
Adam
was
created
Lord
of
all
creatures
,
&
to
prouide
for
and
preserue
them
in
all
perfection
in
their
kinde
,
the
same
right
and
charge
is
discended
vppon
vs
his
children
.
But
if
euerie
point
herein
bee
not
,
or
can
bee
so
plaine
or
euident
laide
foorth
,
as
were
to
bee
desired
,
yet
it
is
a
custome
in
reason
to
coniecture
probably
,
where
wee
cannot
define
certainly
,
and
still
by
all
artistes
more
and
more
to
be
laboured
,
&
to
make
perfect
that
which
in
a
meere
admirer
can
be
hardly
imagined
,
yet
in
a
sufficient
vnderstanding
see
it
liuely
exprest
:
and
if
my
rules
which
I
expresse
bee
easily
ouerturned
,
that
which
I
teach
is
consequently
subiect
to
ouerturning
the
want
of
due
apprehension
heerein
,
hath
brought
many
errors
vnto
all
Arts
and
professions
,
so
as
it
is
more
laborous
to
purge
Art
from
error
,
then
to
teach
the
true
knowledge
and
practise
of
the
Art
:
the
due
consideration
whereof
moueth
me
orderly
to
set
downe
those
onely
true
qualities
which
naturally
were
in
them
in
their
primarie
creation
,
and
ought
to
bee
in
euerie
good
horse
,
full
and
sufficient
for
the
vse
of
man
,
and
particulerly
prooue
the
same
by
the
rules
of
nature
,
Art
&
practise
,
the
which
I
reduce
onely
to
sixe
:
Boldnes
,
louingnes
,
sure
going
,
easie
going
,
durable
and
free
going
:
all
which
are
like
vnto
Hypocrates
twins
,
sicke
together
,
and
well
together
,
laugh
and
weepe
together
,
and
alwaies
are
inseparable
,
in
euery
excellent
horse
.
First
therefore
I
affirme
,
that
euerie
good
Horse
naturally
is
and
ought
to
bee
bolde
,
I
meane
not
(
as
the
prouerbe
saith
)
so
bold
as
blinde
Bayard
,
whose
senses
are
not
sufficient
to
guide
him
from
his
owne
wilful
destruction
,
but
of
naturall
boldnes
,
neerest
to
his
first
creation
and
perfection
of
goodnes
,
wherein
was
no
defect
of
Nature
,
but
full
and
complete
for
the
vse
of
man
,
in
all
obedience
to
the
true
performance
of
euery
action
:
for
if
hee
had
bene
fearfull
,
he
had
not
bene
fit
to
encounter
the
enemie
,
to
passe
waters
,
or
dangerous
places
,
great
concourse
of
people
,
much
noise
,
strange
sights
or
such
like
,
which
shold
not
now
haue
bene
,
if
the
affections
of
nature
grafted
in
them
had
remained
still
vncorrupted
:
Difinition
of
feare
.
for
as
feare
is
defined
to
be
an
awe
of
some
euill
drawing
neere
at
hand
,
so
hauing
possessed
the
creature
,
it
depriueth
him
of
many
comforts
,
which
nature
originally
had
affoorded
:
for
the
Horse
which
remaineth
neerest
his
originall
creation
,
goeth
foorth
,
as
Iob
in
his
29.
Chapter
affirmeth
to
meet
the
harnest
man
,
&
mocketh
at
feare
,
and
is
not
afraid
,
and
turneth
not
backe
from
the
sworde
.
And
as
Virgil
saith
,
Nec
vanos
horret
strepitus
,
neither
doth
suddaine
noise
feare
him
,
and
therevpon
the
learned
say
,
Quod
alios
territ
,
is
non
curabit
,
that
which
dooth
astonish
&
make
other
creatures
affraid
,
he
regardeth
not
.
CHAP.

Of
Louingnes
to
man
.
SEcondly
,
I
affirm
that
euery
good
horse
is
and
ought
to
be
by
Nature
,
louing
to
man
,
free
from
al
hurt
&
mischiefe
:
and
although
loue
be
such
a
thing
,
as
cannot
exactly
&
perfectly
bee
definde
,
as
also
vnpossible
to
comprehend
all
things
which
do
appertain
to
the
nature
,
disposition
and
efficacie
therof
,
yet
who
doth
not
see
the
vertue
whereby
the
louer
is
knit
vnto
him
whome
he
loueth
,
and
yet
none
able
so
much
to
knowe
what
,
as
of
what
quallitie
it
is
,
but
by
actions
and
obseruations
:
and
therefore
when
man
shall
put
a
louing
Horse
to
any
action
,
he
shal
see
in
him
euermore
,
a
following
will
to
obay
,
and
as
thunder
pierceth
the
clowds
,
so
violently
(
for
the
loue
he
beareth
his
Maister
)
doth
he
force
himselfe
against
his
Maisters
enemie
:
and
if
ineuitable
danger
ensue
,
he
either
carrieth
his
maister
from
the
same
,
or
powring
out
teares
of
his
maisters
ruine
,
entertaineth
present
death
,
whereby
the
learned
,
haue
truely
noted
their
originall
nature
,
saying
Victores
exultant
,
sed
victi
dolent
,
when
they
are
victors
&
ouercommers
,
then
they
reioyce
,
but
being
ouercome
they
are
sorrowfull
and
mourning
,
otherwise
they
could
not
be
approoued
sensible
creatures
:
wherof
I
haue
giuen
you
examples
not
vnlike
the
true
loue
that
was
betwixt
Nisus
the
son
of
Hictaci
,
&
Eurialus
,
that
when
Eurialus
his
deere
beloued
friend
was
slaine
,
Nisus
hauing
taken
reuenge
of
his
death
,
afterwards
digged
him selfe
into
Eurialus
graue
,
&
so
rested
with
pleasing
death
,
whereof
Virgil
in
his
9.
book
saith
:
his
amor
vnus
erat
,
pariterq
in
bella
ruebant
,
to
these
was
one
loue
,
&
by
fight
perished
together
:
such
is
the
loue
of
the
louing
horse
to
man
euermore
,
entombeth
his
maisters
loue
in
the
graue
of
destruction
:
iealious
of
his
masters
safety
,
when
as
the
froward
dogged-natured
horse
keepeth
mischiefe
and
malice
inseperable
,
to
waite
vpon
his
actions
,
to
giue
freedom
to
himselfe
,
nam
contra
eorum
eadem
est
disciplina
,
for
of
contraries
is
like
learning
:
wherefore
as
loue
towards
man
&
man
is
a
vertue
commended
,
so
loue
and
obedience
of
beastes
,
with
perfection
of
action
to
man
,
is
originally
the
ordinance
of
God
in
his
first
creation
,
and
therefore
as
euerie
thing
ordayned
by
God
,
is
in
his
ordinance
most
excellent
,
so
all
froward
and
dogged
lades
,
resisting
and
opposite
to
their
originall
creation
:
with
a
naturall
inclination
and
perseuerance
therein
to
man
,
is
a
manifestation
of
their
corruption
.
CHAP.
15.
Of
sure
going
.
THirdly
,
I
affirme
that
euerie
good
horse
by
nature
is
sure
going
,
and
by
al
practise
appeareth
so
to
be
:
for
as
continually
hee
is
sure
from
stumbling
,
so
if
any
accident
tendeth
to
his
downefall
,
he
striueth
so
long
as
breath
or
life
lasteth
to
recouer
,
and
keepe
himselfe
vp
if
it
bee
possible
with
his
maisters
safetie
vsing
his
ioyntes
and
limbes
with
such
spirit
and
nimblenesse
,
that
hee
seemeth
to
swallowe
the
ground
by
his
agilitie
,
betokening
rather
flying
then
strugling
,
euermore
aduenturing
his
owne
perill
to
keepe
his
maister
from
perill
;
whereas
the
roile
and
Iade
that
will
not
aduenture
the
leaping
of
a
blocke
yet
will
not
faile
to
stumble
(
nay
to
make
a
downefall
)
at
a
strawe
,
euermore
endangering
his
maisters
safety
by
his
sluggish
and
fearefull
seruice
,
so
as
his
Maister
neuer
so
much
attendeth
his
owne
preseruation
as
when
he
trusteth
to
a
Iades
securitie
.
Againe
,
if
the
good
horse
were
not
by
nature
sure
going
(
no
art
beeing
able
to
helpe
)
how
should
the
first
creation
of
horses
bee
perfectlye
good
,
the
same
being
euermore
a
principall
good
action
for
the
vse
and
safetie
of
man
,
for
whose
onely
seruice
he
was
created
and
still
preserued
.
CHAP.
16.
Of
easie
going
.
FOurthly
I
affirme
that
euerie
good
horse
by
his
originall
nature
is
easie
going
,
as
a
principall
qualitie
of
his
first
creation
and
therefore
so
stedily
,
iustly
and
duely
he
lifteth
and
setteth
,
fearing
to
shake
his
maister
,
expressing
thereby
the
effect
of
his
strength
,
&
the
vertue
of
his
loue
,
still
striuing
to
bee
delightfull
without
danger
or
meanes
of
discontent
:
the
contrary
wherof
euermore
hapneth
by
the
vse
of
Iades
racking
euerie
part
of
mans
body
,
so
as
hee
rather
desireth
a
footeboies
place
,
then
a
Horsemans
seat
,
not
onely
to
the
ouerthrowe
of
mens
lawful
labours
and
endeuors
,
but
the
whole
vse
of
their

Of
long
continuance
in
trauell
.
FIftly
I
affirme
,
that
euery
good
Horse
is
by
his
originall
nature
durable
,
and
of
great
continuance
in
his
labour
:
the
same
being
a
principall
qualitie
of
his
first
creation
,
for
that
to
enable
his
seruice
to
the
vse
of
man
,
in
the
39.
of
Iob.
it
is
saide
,
that
his
strength
is
giuen
him
of
God
,
and
that
he
reioyceth
therein
,
as
purposely
ordeyned
by
God
,
for
the
seruice
of
man
,
without
which
man
is
depriued
of
his
best
and
hopefull
issues
of
his
labours
,
by
his
debilitie
and
lacke
of
strength
.

Of
free
going
.
SIxtly
I
affirm
,
that
euery
good
Horse
is
free
,
and
full
of
desire
to
performe
as
a
most
principall
quallitie
,
of
his
first
creation
,
in
perfection
of
all
action
,
befitting
the
vse
of
man
,
without
which
hee
doth
bring
much
more
tedious
and
grieuous
labour
,
then
profitable
vse
,
and
therefore
to
manifest
the
ordinance
of
God
in
their
creation
,
for
the
comfort
of
man
,
it
appeareth
how
he
thrusteth
himselfe
with
ioy
,
to
run
headlong
into
the
battaile
:
and
as
Virgil
saith
,
Loco
stare
nescit
,
micat
auribus
et
tremit
artus
,
cauatque
tellurem
et
solido
grauiter
sonat
vngula
cornu
,
hee
cannot
quiet
rest
,
but
setteth
his
eares
vpright
(
and
being
full
of
spirit
)
hee
holloweth
the
ground
,
and
with
the
hollownes
of
his
horned
hooues
,
maketh
great
sound
,
wherein
the
great
goodnes
of
God
to
man
,
is
to
be
noted
,
that
so
strong
&
warlike
a
beast
,
is
so
willing
to
obey
,
and
desirous
to
performe
:
when
Assensus
sequitur
authoritatem
dicentis
,
with
his
whole
assent
he
followeth
the
authoritie
of
the
speaker
,
whereby
al
their
works
might
carry
admiration
,
if
man
were
not
made
tame
with
their
continuall
actions
of
admiration

To
prooue
those
sixe
qualities
,
in
their
originall
nature
,
and
what
they
are
.
NOw
it
remaineth
that
wee
prooue
,
That
these
sixe
quallities
are
alwaies
inseperable
.
that
these
sixe
quallities
of
a
good
Horse
,
their
coherens
&
indiuiduall
connexion
,
as
linkes
in
one
chaine
,
and
so
fastened
&
coupled
together
,
What
is
a
Relative
as
the
lacke
of
the
one
shall
be
a
true
relatiue
,
the
losse
and
destruction
of
the
other
:
for
relatiues
are
alwaies
together
in
nature
,
beginning
to
be
,
and
finishing
their
being
in
one
,
and
the
same
moment
.
First
therefore
,
you
see
that
if
he
be
not
bold
,
although
he
be
louing
,
sure
going
,
easie
going
durable
and
free
,
yet
they
all
are
nothing
,
to
assure
the
rider
from
danger
.
Likewise
if
he
be
not
louing
,
vppon
many
occasions
and
times
,
vnexpected
he
may
often
spoile
his
maister
,
keeper
,
or
rider
:
also
if
he
be
not
sure
in
going
,
what
imminent
danger
is
euermore
to
be
expected
,
in
all
dangerous
places
,
the
experience
too
often
approued
.
Also
if
he
go
not
easie
how
can
man
be
free
from
bruises
,
and
sorenes
in
all
parts
of
his
bodie
,
so
as
he
shall
not
be
able
to
make
vse
of
himselfe
,
for
preseruation
of
himselfe
.
Also
if
he
be
not
durable
,
and
of
strength
and
force
to
continue
his
trauell
,
or
the
action
vndertaken
,
being
fit
and
reasonable
for
a
Horse
to
performe
,
how
can
he
satisfie
mans
vse
the
end
of
his
creation
?
Sixtly
and
lastly
,
if
he
be
not
free
and
of
good
courage
,
euermore
of
himselfe
forward
,
free
,
and
of
good
mettle
,
without
compulsion
,
or
stripes
,
what
vexation
or
losse
(
yea
many
times
of
life
)
by
a
crauing
dull
Iade
,
who
wil
not
acknowledge
?
But
when
all
these
good
quallities
are
inseperably
conioyned
in
Nature
(
as
they
are
in
euery
perfect
Horse
)
what
can
the
heart
of
man
more
desire
,
if
vnderstanding
guyde
his
affection
to
declare
vnto
him
what
is
to
be
desired
,
with
what
facility
of
arte
and
practise
,
will
such
horses
be
broken
and
brought
to
perfection
,
what
assurance
of
their
voluntarie
and
durable
seruice
,
in
all
perfection
:
how
delightfull
to
the
owners
,
how
profitable
to
their
purses
,
how
ioyfull
and
comfortable
to
all
that
vse
them
,
how
seruiceable
and
honourable
to
King
and
Countrie
,
what
soule
liueth
that
will
not
acknowledge
?
And
because
there
is
not
any
other
or
more
excellent
qualities
to
bee
desired
in
horses
for
the
vse
of
man
then
the
perfection
of
those
sixe
qualities
,
it
consequently
followeth
that
all
horses
in
their
first
and
primarie
creation
were
absolutely
endowed
with
them
in
all
perfection
:
for
the
increase
,
preseruation
and
continuance
whereof
,
I
purposely
composed
this
labour
,
all
which
I
doubt
not
will
be
hereafter
performed
by
all
breeders
of
horses
,
if
they
shall
obserue
&
make
practise
of
those
rules
and
precepts
that
are
herein
set
foorth
so
plaine
and
euident
as
will
giue
full
contentment
to
all
that
shall
desire
the
knowledge
thereof
.
First
therfore
intending
institution
of
a
good
thing
I
thinke
moste
fit
to
obserue
,
Cicero
his
rule
,
and
to
begin
with
true
diffinition
,
Difinition
of
nature
.
and
leauing
diuersities
of
opinions
,
I
define
Nature
thus
:
nature
is
not
the
thing
it selfe
,
but
the
proper
and
peculiar
strength
of
the
thing
naturally
giuen
vnto
the
Creature
in
the
creation
at
the
time
of
the
framing
,
&
not
at
the
birth
,
where
it
receiueth
that
quallity
which
it
hath
not
only
of
being
and
working
,
but
also
of
begetting
&c.
and
as
it
is
a
strength
bred
and
grafted
in
the
creature
at
his
framing
,
it
therefore
commeth
not
by
chance
or
accidentally
,
neither
is
it
mutable
but
naturall
,
peculiar
and
vnchangeable
:
but
because
Nature
may
bee
two
waies
vnderstood
,
viz:
a
particuler
&
a
generall
,
I
will
first
shew
that
diuersitie
.
The
particuler
nature
is
that
which
in
euerie
single
substance
ministreth
essence
to
the
whole
compound
,
&
with
all
is
mother
to
such
action
&
motion
as
is
agreeable
to
the
subiect
,
wherin
it
is
as
the
nature
of
fire
causeth
fyers
ascention
,
the
nature
of
earth
,
the
earthes
going
downward
.
The
vniuersall
nature
is
the
author
and
maintainer
of
all
actions
and
bodies
,
to
which
the
seuerall
single
bodies
are
in
subiection
by
their
obedience
,
acknowledging
a
kinde
of
superioritie
in
that
vniuersall
nature
,
&
therefore
it
is
said
,
quod
vniuersalis
natura
falli
out
errare
non
potest
,
quia
contingenter
agit
in
indiuidius
,
sed
indiuidua
sunt
remotu
abarte
,
so
there
are
sundry
diuersities
of
natures
,
as
the
things
be
sundrie
wherof
they
be
,
which
beeing
moste
wisely
and
many
waies
deuided
by
the
creator
,
cannot
bee
knit
vp
to
one selfe
same
thing
:
Againe
,
and
as
the
learned
haue
obserued
,
nature
is
of
that
excellency
,
quod
nihil
habet
vitij
,
Nature
hath
no
defect
,
because
God
is
the
author
thereof
,
and
his
prouidence
hath
so
prouided
,
that
euerie
nature
by
working
doth
declare
of
what
qualitie
it
is
,
so
that
his
workes
are
moste
assured
testimonies
what
his
nature
is
,
and
therefore
verie
fit
to
put
difference
betwixt
the
things
that
be
wrought
naturally
,
&
that
be
wrought
accidentally
:
for
all
naturall
things
are
done
often
&
continually
,
and
those
which
be
done
accidentally
be
not
so
:
The
sun
giueth
light
to
the
world
because
it
is
his
nature
,
but
when
it
dazeleth
weake
eies
,
it
is
not
naturall
but
accidentall
:
and
also
those
things
that
bee
naturally
done
,
be
not
done
with
euil
will
,
or
by
motion
of
others
,
but
easily
and
voluntarily
:
so
whatsoeuer
is
naturall
is
accustomable
,
perpetuall
,
voluntarie
and
ready
:
and
as
it
is
created
&
made
with
the
creature
,
it
is
reason
that
it
should
beare
the
nature
of
his
beginning
:
and
that
which
is
of
a
Horse
,
to
bee
the
nature
of
a
Horse
and
of
no
other
Creature
.
For
if
a
man
should
call
a
naughtie
Natured
Horse
the
nature
of
a
Dogge
,
wee
may
not
thereupon
gather
,
that
a
horse
and
a
Dogge
bee
both
of
one
Nature
,
for
as
each
creature
is
,
such
is
the
nature
thereof
,
and
so
it
worketh
according
to
that
Nature
,
whereby
it
is
euident
,
and
with
truth
not
to
bee
opposed
,
that
nature
is
nothing
else
but
the
temperature
of
heat
,
coldnes
,
moisture
&
drynes
,
the
which
is
a
schoole-maister
to
direct
the
sence
of
the
horse
,
which
hee
hath
from
his
braine
,
to
cause
the
natural
body
to
worke
,
wherein
if
heate
be
predominate
,
then
dooth
the
sence
direct
the
body
to
worke
according
to
the
qualitie
of
heate
,
which
is
with
freenesse
,
vigor
,
spirit
&
courage
,
and
so
,
and
not
otherwise
is
it
truely
said
,
that
euery
creature
worketh
according
to
his
nature
:
and
as
of
heat
,
so
doth
it
worke
accordingly
in
each
temperature
,
and
thereby
wee
may
certainely
determine
the
horses
disposition
,
habit
,
naturall
power
,
lacke
of
power
,
affection
,
and
such
like
,
as
hereafter
shall
most
plainely
be
demonstrated
,
which
the
Logicians
doe
consider
in
qualitie
,
and
so
seeke
the
nature
of
his
qualitie
in
his
works
:
so
that
of
what
qualitie
his
work
is
of
,
such
quality
we
may
truly
say
his
nature
is
:
for
he
is
such
in
the
qualitie
of
his
nature
,
as
he
is
tried
&
found
to
be
:
&
after
this
maner
euery
simple
man
may
learne
to
know
the
nature
of
euerie
horse
,
but
my
purpose
is
to
teach
you
most
assuredly
to
know
his
quality
without
any
worke
or
tryall
,
onely
vpon
the
view
,
as
hereafter
wil
appeare
,
the
which
naturall
qualities
are
not
gotten
by
teaching
or
instructing
,
by
customes
or
Arte
,
but
naturally
,
and
so
to
euerie
man
an
assurance
of
what
qualitie
his
nature
is
:
for
nature
proceedeth
so
farre
in
euerie
Horse
,
that
shee
giueth
them
not
onely
a
feeling
,
but
also
a
power
to
declare
the
same
to
others
,
whereof
may
arise
this
question
:
For
asmuch
as
it
hath
bene
saide
,
that
God
is
the
author
and
giuer
of
nature
,
and
according
to
his
creation
all
perfectly
good
,
and
that
all
creatures
aswell
men
as
beastes
,
worke
according
to
nature
,
and
haue
no
naturall
desire
or
inclination
of
corruption
,
because
euery
creature
naturally
desireth
his
owne
preseruation
and
perfection
,
what
needeth
either
Arte
or
practise
to
helpe
or
alter
the
same
nature
?
I
answere
that
it
is
most
true
,
that
Arte
and
practise
were
needles
,
if
man
his
disobedience
had
not
depriued
him
of
all
obedience
,
that
by
creation
was
subiect
vnto
him
:
and
the
same
his
disobedience
did
not
only
bring
a
curse
vpon
the
Earth
,
but
also
the
disobedience
of
all
creatures
to
man
,
and
corruption
to
all
&
euery
their
actions
,
so
there
is
not
now
any
obedience
,
or
perfection
in
the
dooing
of
action
,
but
that
which
is
gotten
by
arte
and
preserued
in
vigor
,
by
vse
and
practise
:
so
that
all
thinges
which
now
are
vnto
corrupted
man
most
combersome
,
as
punishments
of
his
disloyaltie
,
were
by
original
creation
ordained
for
his
furtherance
:
Note
this
,
and
therefore
nature
in
Horses
,
is
not
,
neither
can
be
any
other
then
an
inclination
and
forwardnes
:
knowledge
a
quickner
vp
of
nature
,
and
arte
,
a
guide
to
keepe
it
in
order
by
generall
precepts
,
vniuersall
grounds
,
and
experience
,
with
imitation
,
conferring
both
by
the
continuall
holding
on
of
many
particular
actions
:
so
as
nature
of
it selfe
is
now
insufficient
:
knowledge
and
arte
without
nature
,
fondnes
,
and
without
experience
vnprofitable
.
As
in
chirurgerie
,
although
the
bare
practitioner
,
do
by
his
experience
,
sometime
hit
well
vpon
the
healing
of
some
disease
,
yet
it
is
euident
,
that
hauing
arte
and
knowledge
matched
with
his
experience
,
so
as
he
discerne
the
nature
and
cause
of
his
disease
,
marking
the
complexion
,
age
,
and
manner
of
liuing
of
his
patient
,
and
considering
the
equalitie
and
quantitie
of
his
medicine
,
and
applying
them
in
due
time
,
shall
the
better
performe
the
duty
of
his
science
,
and
the
better
attain
the
desired
end
:
but
it
is
againe
obiected
,
that
if
the
creation
and
creature
were
from
God
perfectly
good
,
notwithstanding
his
disobedience
to
man
,
&
his
owne
corruption
,
yet
being
created
and
preserued
by
God
for
the
only
vse
of
man
,
how
commeth
it
to
passe
that
where
there
is
one
Horse
by
creation
good
,
in
action
there
are
a
thousand
Iades
according
to
creation
and
in
action
.
I
answere
,
first
that
the
creation
and
generation
of
these
times
,
are
not
immediatly
created
by
God
(
as
in
the
first
creation
)
without
meanes
,
but
by
naturall
meanes
,
whereunto
his
grace
is
annexed
(
Crescite
et
multiplicamini
)
growe
and
increase
:
vnto
which
meanes
being
his
owne
ordinance
,
he
giueth
his
blessing
for
the
increase
&
preseruation
therof
.
2.
it
may
be
answerd
out
of
the
4.
of
Esdras
,
9.
verse
,
that
the
world
hath
lost
his
youth
and
the
times
begin
to
waxe
olde
:
and
also
in
the
2.
of
Esdras
,
chap.
5.
the
question
being
demanded
why
the
latter
age
should
not
be
as
perfect
in
creation
as
the
first
?
it
was
answered
,
aske
a
woman
wherfore
are
not
they
whom
thou
hast
now
brought
forth
like
those
that
were
before
thee
,
but
lesse
of
stature
?
&
she
shall
answere
thee
,
the
same
were
borne
in
the
flower
of
youth
,
the
others
were
borne
in
the
time
of
age
,
when
the
wombe
failed
:
consider
now
thy selfe
how
that
ye
are
lesse
of
stature
,
then
those
that
were
before
you
,
and
so
are
they
that
come
after
you
,
lesse
then
they
:
as
the
creatures
which
now
begin
to
be
old
and
haue
passed
ouer
the
strength
of
youth
:
So
as
the
farther
generation
is
from
the
first
creation
,
the
more
neerer
to
corruption
.
Thirdly
,
it
may
be
answerd
,
that
euery
Horse
is
created
as
man
is
of
soule
and
bodie
,
and
is
compounded

hee
that

himselfe

no

but
the
one
which
is

celestial

neuer

the
other
terrestial

excellent
pure

spirit
,
hauing
the
faculties
,
nutritiue
,
vegetatiue
,
motiue
,
and
sensitiue
:
so
doth
it
by
his
temperature
of
the

righty
rule
as
mans
doth
,
&
gouerne
the
bodie
of
euery

which
naturally
obeieth

euery

,
and
that
is
truely
called
Nature
,
wherof
onely
God
is
the
Author
,
so
as
the
goodnes
or
badnes
of
the
temperature
of
the

is
the
cause
,
The
cause
why
one

doth
better

why
one

doeth
better

the

being
the

such
is

we

without

then
that
God

the

of

hath
ordeined

Nam

,
our
naturall
reason
is
obscured
by
the
disobedience
of
our
first
parents
,
and
yet
nature
may
not
be
saide
to
be
vnperfect
,
or
faultie
,
for
it
hath
put
into
all
thinges
possibility
and
aptnes
,
and
also
acte
and
perfection
:
and
thereupon
Cicero
saith
,
who
hath
reason
from
nature
,
to
the
same
is
right
reason
giuen
,
and
then
comming
from
nature
is
also
perpetuall
,
for
perpetuum
est
quod
natura
,
frequens
quod
vsus
introducit
,
what
nature
bringeth
is
perpetuall
,
and
what
vse
bringeth
is
often
,
so
as
nature
whether
it
be
armed
with
vertue
or
vice
,
it
is
perpetual
,
and
the
faculties
causeth
the
perfection
thereof
acordingly
:
for
nature
is
knowne
by
his
work
,
and
nature
causeth
the
bodie
to
worke
,
therefore
such
as
the
nature
is
,
such
is
the
worke
,
and
such
as
the
worke
is
,
such
is
the
qualitie
of
the
nature
.
Now
the
seate
or
place
of
those
faculties
of
this
nature
,
is
principally
the
braine
and
the
heart
,
The
braine
is
the
●e●t
of
the
sencible
soule
,
the
sence
of
sence
and
motion
,
&
of
the
moste
noble
animal
spurits
composed
of
the
vitall
,
and
raised
from
the
hart
by
the
Arteries
vnto
the
braine
.
as
the
regall
and
principall
seates
of
the
creature
,
the
heart
beeing
the
place
where
the
vitall
and
Arteriall
spirrits
are
bred
,
and
doe
equally
;
participate
the
temperature
thereof
,
from
whence
they
had
theyr
being
,
and
are
dispersed
ouer
the
whole
bodie
,
and
then
it
may
be
truly
saide
,
Cuius
effectus
omnthus
prodest
,
eius
et
partes
ad
omnes
pertinent
,
where
the
effect
of
any
thing
is
profitable
to
all
,
there
the
partes
thereof
appertaine
to
all
:
and
as
the
power
of
that
vitall
spirit
is
great
or
small
(
which
is
euermore
according
to
the
temperature
of
the
elements
)
such
and
the
same
it
causeth
and
enforceth
the
bodie
,
and
euery
parte
thereof
to
worke
,
and
therefore
it
is
truely
saide
that
euery
man
and
beast
worketh
according
to
the
qualitie
of
his
nature
,
following
the
drift
of
nature
(
that
is
the
temperature
)
in
their
working
,
so
as
the
more
pure
and
excellent
,
the
temperature
of
the
Elementes
are
(
which
consisteth
in
the
true
harmony
,
mixture
or
proportion
of
the
foure
first
qualities
,
hot
,
cold
,
dry
,
moist
)
in
any
creature
,
the
nearer
is
the
same
creature
to
his
sitst
creation
,
and
the
more
effectuall
in
operation
to
euerie
action
.
Fourthly
it
may
bee
answered
,
that
horses
doe
not
c●ntinue
in
the
perfection
of
their
first
creation
,
because
in
all
generation
of
begetting
there
is
a
proceeding
vitall
spirit
before
the
seede
which
effecteth
conception
,
according
to
the
strength
and
qualitie
whereof
,
the
creature
begotten
is
in
perfection
of
strength
and
qualitie
:
as
for
example
,
if
an
olde
horse
&
an
olde
Mare
doe
beget
and
bring
forth
a
Colt
,
you
will
confesse
there
is
a
decay
on
both
parts
of
that
vital
spirit
in
old
yeres
,
which
cannot
effect
equality
of
strength
&
power
,
which
naturally
youth
(
I
meane
the
midle
age
wherein
perfection
consisteth
)
preserueth
&
bestoweth
,
if
there
be
not
a
meanes
of
defect
,
as
sicknesse
,
natural
coldnes
,
inordinate
vse
&
such
like
(
which
in
old
age
is
also
much
more
vnperfect
)
wherby
oftentimes
wee
see
not
onely
the
decay
of
beasts
,
but
of
the
withering
of
the
noble
progeny
of
man
,
and
therefore
no
meruaile
if
the
horses
of
this
age
be
so
vnperfect
,
when
man
is
defectiue
&
vnperfect
in
the
true
natural
causes
of
generation
,
by
suffering
vnperfect
creatures
to
beget
and
bring
forth
,
how
can
there
be
perfection
in
the
creature
begotten
,
and
then
they
being
vnperfect
,
doe
they
not
also
afterwards
beget
vnperect
?
For
it
is
an
infallible
truth
,
fortes
creantur
fortibus
,
&
bouis
est
in
inuencis
,

in

patrum
virtus

the
strong
are
begotten
of
the
strong
,
and
the
vertue
of
the
Syer
of
the
Oxe
and
the
Cowe
,
is
in
the
young
bullocke
and
in
horse
,
neither
doe
lustie
Eagles
beget
young
Doues
:
such
as
is
sowen
such
will
be
mowen
,
E

of
a
bramble
there

ti●
pr●●●candi
quod
procreatum
est
,
the
good
of
the
begetter
is
the
good
of
the
begotten
.
Cicero
saith
truely
,
n●carboris
necequi
virtus
in
opinione
sita
est
sedin
natura
:
Neither
is
the
goodnesse
of
the
horse
placed
in
opinion
but
in
nature
,
and
therefore
Secrates
execrari
eum
sol●bat
,
qui
primo
vtilitatem
a
natura
seiunxisset
,
was
accustomed
to
curse
him
that
seperated
vertue
from
nature
:
whereunto
Celsus
concurring
saith
,
quae
rerum
natura
prohibet
nulla
lege
confirmare
possunt
,
where
nature
refisteth
,
no
strength
preuaileth
.
Fiftly
and
lastly
if
it
be
obiected
that
the
indurance
of
a
horse
in
specie
or
kinde
,
may
be
a
limited
indurance
of
the
perticuler
,
&
therefore
a
perpetuall
preseruation
of
the
species
or
kinde
,
thorough
the
facultie
of
procreation
to
propagate
his
kinde
,
that
though
euerie
horse
must
of
naturall
necessitie
dye
,
yet
might
hee
leaue
another
of
his
owne
kinde
behinde
him
,
as
good
as
himselfe
,
and
so
a
continuall
succession
of
goodnesse
,
I
thus
answere
,
that
if
they
graunt
a
corruption
in
the
particuler
(
as
of
necessitie
they
must
)
it
must
likewise
bee
granted
in
the
species
,
for
the
species
being
a
thing
existent
only
in
imagination
,
not
hauing
any
reall
beeing
,
but
as
we
conceiue
of
it
in
the
particulars
,
it
is
a
necessarie
illation
from
the
corruption
of
all
the
particulers
,
to
conclude
the
like
of
the
generall
:
for
as
Nutrition
is
to
the
particuler
,
so
is
generation
to
the
species
,
wherfore
as
by
the
nourishment
the
horse
taketh
restitution
of
his
naturall
moisture
,
there
is
not
supplyed
so
pure
humiditie
as
was
loste
,
the
particulers
decaying
by
little
and
little
are
at
last
cleane
consumed
,
so
by
procreation
the
maintenance
of
the
species
,
the
puritie
of
the
humors
,
being
by
degrees
&
by
time
diminished
,
at
length
there
followeth
euen
of
necessitie
an
absolute
corruption
,
now
the
decaie
comming
by
the
particulars
whose
function
this
generation
is
,
being
by
continuall
mixture
of
outward
nourishment
corrupted
,
the
seede
,
the
matter
and
meanes
of
propagation
cannot
but
be
tainted
with
like
corruption
,
and
this
is
the
reason
why
horses
are
neither
of
continuance
or
goodnes
as
in
former
time
,
for
if
the
naturall
vigor
of
the
species
be
by
little
and
little
continually
weakened
,
there
must
of
necessitie
followe
a
perfect
corruption
,
but
the
most
of
vs
(
like
men
at
the
stop
,
where
manye
pathes
meete
)
insteede
of
choosing
the
right
way
by
iudgement
of
reason
doe
stand
stil
amased
,
and
in
that
amazement
conclude
,
that
all
comes
to
one
,
as
who
would
say
,
that
South
and
North
leade
both
to
one
place
,
but
if
we
applyed
our
wits
as
aduisedly
to
iudge
between
truth
and
falshood
,
as
euery
man
in
his
trade
doth
iudge
betweene
profit
and
losse
,
we
should
forth
with
by
principles
bred
within
our selues
,
and
by
conclusions
following
vpon
the
same
,
discern
true
knowledge
from
error
,
and
the
way
ordeyned
from
deceitfull
inuentions
of
our
common
practise
,
wherefore
to
conclude
with
the
cause
of
causes
,
I
doe
resolue
that
the
want
of
the
true
knowledge
of
breeding
is
the
only
cause
of
the
multitude
of
Iades
,
because
no
man
hath
hetherto
either
written
or
practised
the
true
naturall
meanes
of
good
breeding
,
&
that
all
nations
doe
erre
herein
,
the
only
number
of
Iades
in
all
nations
are
my
witnesses
,
and
I
would
gladly
learne
from
any
,
how
the
contrarie
may
be
defended
.

How
to
know
a
horse
that
is
bold
by
nature
.
FIrst
of
his
boldnesse
,
It
hath
bene
saide
,
&
that
truely
,
that
euerie
creature
worketh
according
to
his
nature
,
and
that
his
works
doe
manifest
his
nature
,
and
therfore
he
that
hath
had
long
tryall
of
his
horse
cannot
bee
ignorant
of
his
nature
,
so
as
the
goodnesse
of
nature
is
considered
in
his
quality
&
the
qualitie
of
his
nature
in
his
works
,
and
yet
a
horse
that
is
fearefull
by
nature
may
by
compulsary
meanes
after
long
vse
make
little
or
no
shew
of
fear
,
although
he
be
fearefull
by
nature
,
as
beeing
in
a
ship
vppon
the
Sea
,
where
are
Trumpets
,
Guns
and
such
like
,
not
hauing
meanes
to
auoid
the
same
,
by
vse
,
&
continuance
thereof
,
seemeth
not
fearefull
,
for
as
man
(
beeing
an
vnderstanding
creature
)
by
often
compulsarie
abuses
,
may
be
made
tame
to
be
abused
,
so
a
creature
void
of
reason
and
vnderstanding
,
may
seeme
to
abide
and
indure
that
which
nature
abhorreth
.
Now
to
the
matter
propounded
,
consider
that
there
are
natural
signes
which
without
will
or
desire
to
signifie
any
thing
,
doe
make
some
other
things
besides
themselues
to
be
known
by
them
,
as
the
smoak
doth
signifie
there
is
fyer
,
&
it
is
wel
known
by
the
perceiuing
of
things
prooued
,
that
there
is
fier
withall
,
although
there
dooth
nothing
appeare
but
smoke
only
,
like
as
a
foot-step
is
the
signe
of
a
beast
to
haue
bene
there
,
likewise
by
the
fore-head
countenance
and
cie
of
man
,
nature
dooth
signifie
the
knowledge
of
the
minde
,
which
Cicero
calleth
ianuam
mentis
,
the
dore
of
the
minde
,
&
others
doe
say
that
the

is
the

&
is
as
a
sparkling
light
,
&
hath
power
of
beholding
,
so
as
to
the
beholder
it
doth
almost
declare
the
whole
quality
of
man
,
wherby
apeareth
that
nature
hath
made
&
ordained
probable
coniectures
of
the
vnsensible
parts
,
as
appeareth
in
the
1.
K.

when
the
compassion
of
the
naturall
mother
was
mooued
,
by
which
commotion
of
nature
the
king
gaue
true
iudgement
,
and
therefore
it
is
truely
saide
,
ex

from
those
outward

coniectured

from
whence
also
may
be
truly
collected

in
the

So
as
the
eye
and
countenance
of
man
,
being
the
messenger
of
the
minde
,
&
the
window
of
the
heart
,
the
inward
secrets
of
man
are
disclosed
.
If
then
the
minde
and
secrets
of
the

of
man
may
bee
and
are
knowne
by
outward
signes
,
hauing
wisdome

Moreouer
that
the
countenance
is
a
discouerie
of
the
inward
minde
,
appeareth
in
the
4.
of

When

was
wroth
,
his

wherupon
the

saide

which
look

,
so
the

of
men
are
manifested
to
the
wise
:
and
no
doubt
the
obseruation
of
the
countenance
of
the
Horse
,
The
outward

Phisiognomie
doth
not
falsifie
and
betray
that
good
promise
that
Nature
hath
planted
in
the
front
doth
more
certainly
discouer
his
inward
quallitie
,
as
an
Image
of
his
affection
:
but
if
man
would
knowe
the
secrets
of
mans
heart
,
he
must
leaue
it
to
the
creator
,
for
solus

Onely

is
the
searcher
of

and
the

is
but

for
as
he
which
beholdeth
his
face
in
the
water
doth
not
discerne
it
exactly
but
rather
a
shadow
then
a
face
,
euen
so
he
that
by
external
Physiognomy
and
operations
,
wil
deuine
what
lyeth
hid
in
the
heart
of
man
,
may
conceiue
an
Image
of
that
affection
that
dooth
raign
in
the
mind
of
man
,
rather
then
a
resolute
knowledge

But
the
Physiognomy
of
a
horse
is
much
more
certain
for
he
can
not
keep
secret
or
conceale
as
man
can
,
There
is
nothing
that
hath
a

then
the
conformitie

the

Therfore
to
conclude
and
to
make
the
truth
hereof
appeare
:
chuse
a
horse
with
a
broad
forehead
,
a
great
black
full
eie
standing
out
like
an
hares
eye
,
and
a
high
reared
forepart
,
and
bee
assured
that
by
nature
he
is
bolde
,
and
to
giue
you
a
further
assurance
,
marke
a
Horse
with
a
narrow
forehead
,
little
eies
,
&
a
low
fore
part
,
which
is
meere
contrary
,
and
assure
your selfe
that
by
nature
he
is
starting
and
fearefull
,
and
to
seale
vp
the
truth
,
heerein
the
triall
wil
confirme
you
.
So
as
the
obseruation
,
of
his
naturall
shape
in
that
part
telleth
you
that
the

is
so
sure
,

How

know
a
horse
that
is
louing
by

THat
euerie

is
by

louing

To
confirme
this
proposition
,
I
thinke
the
examples
before

are
sufficient
,
besides
euery
man
his

,
&
that
Iades
are
naturally
mischeuous

dangerous
to
man

wherof
I
will
giue
some
examples
,
as
Fulko
the
fift
king
of
Ierusalem
after
he
had
raigned
eleuen
yeares
,
was
by
a
mischeuous
Iade
strooken
in
the
hinder
part
of
the

,
whereof
he

an

the
Leopard
wil
not

his

,
nor
the
Moore
his

,
that
is
perpetual
which
nature
bringeth
forth
I
haue
tolde
you
that
the
countenance
is
a
representatiue
of
conditions
,
amongst
which
this
is
one
,
when
you
see
a
horse
with
a
plaine
smoothe
eye
,
so
as
the
more
you
beholde
his
eyes
and
countenance
in
beauty
and
seemely
proportion
,
the
more
hee
seemeth
as
Plato
saith
,
the
obiect
of
your

,
whereby
you
doe
not
onely
grow
in
loue
of
him
,
but
conceiue
that

hath
as

prepared
a
cherful
countenance
to
entertaine
your

which
naturally
created
with

appeare
:

that
is

couering
little

,

in

,
as
you

apprehend

one
without
the

,
so
inseperable
are
they
,
as
the

cannot

it

to

wherfore
the
rule
to

is
,
that
he
be
very
long
foreparted

I
meane
from
his

to
his

,
very
long
necked
,
and
the
same
broad
towards
the
brest
,
thin

slender
neere
to

with

his

beare
not

out

carrying

his

,
his
sight
lustie
bolde

perfect
,
he
euermore
seeth
his
waye
without
restraint
and
at
pleasure
,
where
to
tread
in
all
fafety
,
and
then
hauing
a
true
and
iust
trot
or
amble
,
together
with
the
perfection
of
his
raine
(
for
that
is
the
onely
perfect
and
true
raine
)
which
no
other
shape
can
affoorde
with

,
hee
trauaileth
with
such
ease
and
delight
to
nature
(
which
all
Arte
is
euer
to

)
beeing
bolde
louing
and
thereby
proud
and
stately
in

,
and
naturally
easie
and

to

,
he
goeth
with
great

,
surenes
of

,
ease
to
the

,
and

to
himselfe

when
as
the
contrarie
shape
cannot
by
any
Arte

reduced
to
perfection
,
longer
then
he
is
moste
highlye
kept
,

his
pride

continueth
,
because
nothing
is
more
offensiue
to
Nature
then
violence

restraint
from
his
naturall
imperfection
to

by

,
hee

easie-going

THat
euerie
good

is
by

easie

wherin

of

I

I
affirme
,
hauing
had

thereof
without

therefore
in

retaine
it

a

infallible
,
that
your

be
high
in
the
withers

him

which
beeing
ioyned

cary

otherwise
the

perswade

the

horse
whether

will
raine

when

you

How
to
know
a
Horse
that
is
durable
,
and
of
continuance
in
Iourney
.
THat
a
good
horse
is
by
nature
durable
,
is
also
an
obseruation
of
his
shape
,
yet
must
hee
haue
all
the
other
rules
before
m●ntioned
,
the
which
I
will
euer
maintaine
as
infallible
truthe
,
being
inseperably
linked
together
,
to
demonstrate
a
true
and
exact
knowledge
of
any
horse
.
First
it
is
to
be
considered
that
strength
is
the
cause
of
continuance
of
trauell
,
then
in
what
part
of
the
body
the
strength
principally
and
naturally
resteth
in
the
horse
,
for
as
the
strength
of
the
Bull
is
naturally
in
the
necke
,
the
Lyon
and
Beare
in
the
paw
,
the
Dog
in
the
chap
so
the
horse
in
the
fore-part
,
where
nature
hath
imposed
the
burthen
,
and
there
is
and
must
bee
his
principall
force
and
strength
,
the
which
fore-part
must
bee
deep
and
broade
,
from
the
point
or
top
of
his
withers
to
the
bottome
of
his
chest
or
breast
:
his
ribbes
bearing
out
as
the
lidde
or
couer
of
a
truncke
,
wherby
he
will
appeare
broad
,
full
,
round
,
and
bearing
out
in
the
Chest
and
brest
,
with
an
eeuennesse
of
Chest
and
belly
to
the
flanke
,
so
as
his
belly
hang
not
deeper
then
his
chest
,
nor
his
chest
deeper
then
his
belly
,
with
leane
,
vpright
,
and
streight
pasternes
,
&
somewhat
narrow
hooue
towards
the
toe
,
assure
your selfe
hee
will
bee
durable
,
and
as
good
in
the
end
of
his
labour
,
as
at
the
beginning
,
if
not
better
,
and
performe
his
trauell
with
great
delight
:
but
if
he
be
of
contrarie
shape
,
then
wil
his
actions
be
contrary
,
namely
the
longer
he
is
trauailed
,
the
more
Iade
,
whatsoeuer
shewe
he
maketh
at
his
setting
foorth
:
for
if
strength
and
abilitie
of
bodie
fayleth
,
although
a
good
spirit
enforceth
his
labour
,
yet
it
cannot
be
of
perseuerance
,
Vbivires
dificiunt
,
ibi
laudanda
est
voluntas
,
where
strength
faileth
good-will
hath
all
the
praise
.
And
therefore
when
you
view
a
colte
,
A
●ol●ed
doth
expresse
what
his
proofe
will
be
when
he
commeth
to
age
.
how
yong
soeuer
he
be
,
when
he
is
foaled
,
his
naturall
shape
will
neuer
alter
,
but
euermore
growe
and
continue
in
the
same
shape
vntill
his
death
:
and
therefore
be
well
assured
that
he
haue
a
perfect
naturall
shape
,
when
he
is
most
young
,
such
as
I
doe
herein
describe
,
&
so
may
you
be
assured
not
to
be
deceiued
,
either
in
the
choice
of
old
or
young
:
what
can
be
strange
to
the
knower
?
Aristotle
saith
that
Cognitiò

cognitio
cognoscentiset

our
knowledge
is
the
knowledge
of
the

&
of

&
when

hath
shaped
the
colte
in
perfection
,
with
what
facilitie
doth
arte
perfect
the
qualitie
&
vse
of
euery
action
?
but
if
nature
hath
shaped
the
same
vnperfect
,
there
cannot
be
any
hope
of
perfect
action
,
with
comlines
and
continuance
,
for
Sordida

like

because
euery

according

beware
therfore

Horse

THis
being
the
conclusion

those
sixe
qualities

which
euery
good
Horse
naturally
hath
,
and
retaineth
from
his

vnto

spare
your

fall
deepe

faculties

which
are
planted
in
the
creature
,
at

time
of
his
creation

you
shall
finde
it
the
onely
worke
of
the
creator
,
by
those
meanes
which
his
owne
ordinance
hath
established
,
not
as
a
fleshy
substance
,
or

an
accidentall
thing

but
a
powerfull
spirit

proceeding
from
the
vitall
spirit
,
and
arteriall
blood

that
goe
wandring
through
the
whole

to
stir
vp
the
power
of
the
beast

to
giue
him
force

vigor
to
worke
,
by
which
the
sencible
soule
performeth
his

are

Nature

the

norisheth

preserueth

increaseth

giueth
power
to
the
creature

to
signifie
the
same

others
:
and
the
more
it
doth
abound
the
more
powerful
it
is
in
the
operation

and
if
it
cease
his
power
in
operation

then
doth
the
whole
bodie
cease
his
naturall
power
in
working

and
as
this
spirit
is
of

most
pure

when
it

it

therefore
the
more
excellent
,
perfect
and
pure
the
creature
is
created
,
the
greater
is
his
operation
and
trauell
:
as
we
the
Sun
which
mooueth
continually
,
the
moone
that
is
neuer
staied
,
the
sky
euer
moouing
,
the
fire
neuer
without
working
,
the
clowdes
neuer
cease
remoouing
,
&c.
so
when
wee
see
a
strange
,
prowde
and
comely
shaped
Horse
,
of
pure
and
perfect
substance
,
described
in
euery
parte
as
aforesaide
,
there
is
presented
to
our
sences
&
consideration
some
excellent
&
deuine
work
,
by
so
pure
and
refined
metall
,
which
is
specialy
performed
by
the
Element
of
fire
,
so
as
it
seemeth
to
represent
the
Image
of
Venus
,
which
Apelles
for
the
space
of
ten
yeres
had
imploied
his
wit
&
pollicie
to
paint
,
being
so
beautiful
,
that
the
beholders
became
amorous
,
as
though
it
had
bene
some
liue
Image
,
so
as
by
publike
edicte
,
he
was
charged
to
keepe
it
secret
,
for
feare
to
allure
youth
to
corruption
.
Or
like
that
brasen
Horse
which
Pausanias
the
Greeke
historiographer
,
mentioneth
to
haue
bene
found
in
Heraclia
a
Prouince
of
Peloponesus
,
whose
beautie
was
such
,
as
other
Horses
with
ardent
desire
and
affection
,
sought
to
ioyne
and
couple
with
him
,
as
if
they
had
found
a
prowde
mare
:
wherefore
for
the
satisfaction
and
confirmation
of
this
proposition
,
how
to
know
a
perfect
,
quicke
,
and
free
spirited
Horse
,
you
must
still
retaine
all
the
description
of
shape
before
described
,
with
this
,
viz.
that
he
haue
a
slender
leane
head
,
leane
,
thin
,
&
slender
iawes
,
which
is
an
absolute
&
perfect
assurance
of
quicke
&
free
forward
spirit
to
euery
action
:
by
all
which
descriptions
,
you
shall
assuredly
knowe
his
quallities
,
onely
vppon
the
view
,
as
if
you
had
made
tryall
of
him
many
yeares
,
and
thereof
make
no
more
doubt
,
then
whether
the
sun
hath
at
any
time
giuen
light
to
your
eyes
:
but
if
the
Horse
be
defectiue
in
his
shape
,
as
I
haue
before
described
,
then
assure
your selfe
he
wanteth
that
natural
perfection
I
haue
referred
the
rule
vnto
,
for
as
it
is
a
naturall
course
euen
in
euill
,
by
degrees
to
come
vnto
perfection
of
euill
,
so
is
it
also
as
naturall
,
that
where
perfection
of
shape
faileth
,
in
the
whole
or
in
parte
,
there
imperfection
is
present
,
&
the
natural
quallities
answerable
therevnto
:
obserue
then
I
pray
you
,
that
a
perfect
Horse
by
nature
is
thus
shaped
:
viz.
a
leane
slender
head
,
broad
forehead
,
great
blacke
eyes
,

if

not
the

that

I

But
because
I
know

do
assure
my selfe
,
that
Vnius

that
it
is
vnpossible
that

my selfe

I

therefore

to
frame
all

the

the

.
CHAP.

Obiections
against
the
generall
propounded
rules
.
FIrst
it
may
be
demaunded
,
whether
these
obseruations
are
both
for
young
coltes
,
when
as
their
bodies
are
not
growne
to
perfection
:
and
for
olde
Horses
,
which
by
leannesse
seeme
to
be
vnperfect
?
I
answere
,
when
the
Colt
falleth
from
the
Dam
,
the
naturall
body
is
of
that
proportion
of
shape
which
neither
can
or
will
at
any
time
after
alter
,
&
in
that
shape
doth
it
growe
and
increase
vnto
the
end
,
not
as
some
doe
ignorantly
alleadge
,
one
yeare
to
growe
in
the
forepart
,
and
another
yeare
in
the
hinder
part
,
for
the
facultie
of
nature
cannot
be
nutritiue
in
a
sound
bodye
to
one
part
&
neglect
the
other
part
,
neither
can
any
part
continue
without
nourishment
,
without
the
destruction
of
that
part
,
neither
can
the
nourishment
of
the
body
alter
the
forme
and
naturall
shape
of
the
bodye
,
and
therefore
the
rules
are
infallible
both
for
olde
and
young
,
and
to
graunt
them
otherwise
were
absurd
because
nulla
ratione
potest
admitti
per
communem
sensum
,
quia
non
couuenit
humanae
societati
,
by
no
reason
it
can
be
admitted
by
common
sence
,
the
same
not
being
agreeable
to
humane
reason
.
Nulla
placidior
quies
nisi
quam
ratio
composuit
Therefore
what
Nature
hath
framed
is
constant
and
perpetuall
without
change
,
and
the
forme
of
constitution
,
&
shape
,
such
in
his
age
,
as
you
see
him
a
Colt
.
2.
Secondly
it
may
be
demaunded
,
whether
a
Horse
wanting
any
of
these
rules
may
notwithstanding
be
a
good
Hotse
?
The
degrees
of
goodnes
&
what
is
to
bee
sud
good
.
I
answere
,
you
must
consider
that
there
are
degrees
in
goodnesse
,
as
good
,
better
,
and
best
of
al
:
Next
you
must
consider
,
what
is
good
,
or
what
may
be
saide
to
be
good
,
for
no
one
thing
can
be
truly
saide
to
be
good
,
that
vnderstanding
&
knowledge
doth
not
tell
you
to
be
good
:
for
ignorance
and
error
do
call
light-darkenes
,
and
darkenes
light
,
good
euill
,
and
euill
good
so
as
your
direction
must
not
be
opinatiue
,
but
examined
,
per
Norman
rationis
,
by
the
rule
of
reason
,
if
you
be
a
creature
reasonable
:
for
do
you
not
know
,
the
Fly
,
the
Dog
,
the
Lyon
,
the
horse
,
&
man
,
are
al
liuing
creatures
?
but
with
difference
,
for
only
man
is
a
liuing
creatur
reasonable
,
created
for
the
only
glory
of
God
,
so
as
you
must
alwaies
reason
from
true
definition
:
then
if
you
will
demaund
of
the
most
best
good
Horse
,
I
holde
and
will
defend
against
all
contrary
opinion
,
that
there
is
not
any
of
the
most
best
Horses
,
that
doth
or
can
want
any
of
my
sixe
rules
,
which
I
prooue
thus
.
When
God
first
created
Horse
,
he
created
them
in
all
perfection
of
that
kinde
,
for
nothing
issued
from
his
hands
ill
shaped
:
hee
made
him
perfectly
good
,
Psal.
8.5
and
all
that
good
,
onely
for
man
,
and
to
that
end
were
all
his
creatures
made
,
and
as
he
made
man
their
lord
and
ruler
,
so
did
he
appoint
them
their
preseruer
,
but
no
destroyer
of
his
creatures
,
Iustissima

Aug.
and
all
this
is
inheritable
to
vs
:
then
examine
what
is
that
which
man
can
more
or
lesse
require
in
a
horse
for
perfection
,
then
these
sixe
qualities
before
described
,
being
such
as
are
euer
inseperable
&
euermore
so
to
be
apprehended
in
iudgement
,
&
conceit
:
for
if
he
be
bold
and
feareth
nothing
,
that
true
wisedome
and
discretion
would
haue
him
to
aduenture
,
neither
defectiue
in
his
loue
to
giue
his
life
for
your
sake
,
&
so
easie
going
as
your selfe
can
desire
,
and
so
sure
of
foote
as
no
perrill
or
danger
is
to
be
feared
,
withsuch
perseuerance
&
continuance
in
labour
,
as
your
body
and
his
life
can
endure
:
&
with
al
forwardnes
,
following
will
,
freenes
,
and
obedience
,
so
as
two
or
three
lashes
shal
be
sufficient
to
enforce
his
trauell
,
till
his
vitall
spirit
&
life
forsake
him
,
being
such
qualities
,
as
all
the
best
Artists
,
&
skilful
horsemen
of
the
whole
world
haue
,
&
in
all
ages
will
laboure
and
endeauour
to
bring
Horses
vnto
,
as
to
a
restitution
&
perfection
of
their
first
creation
,
according
to
the
natural
disposition
originally
infused
in
them
by
God
for
the
preseruation
of
their
first
being
,
how
shall
grant
the
depriuation
of
any
of
them
or
of
any
parte
of
any
one
of
them
,
without
the
publike
trespas
to
man
,
for
whose
onely
vse
and
comfort
,
they
were
made
,
as
Lord
and
Emperor
of
all
creatures
,
&
so
consequently
to
the
all-creator
?
but
if
your
meaning
be
to
descend
to
the
comparatiue
degree
,
that
is
,
to
a
horse
not
altogether
of
such
excell●cie
,
then
in
some
sort
ther
may
be
some
tolleration
admitted
,
in
part
of
some
of
my
rules
,
namely
his
boldnes
,
which
if
by
nature
hee
want
,
yet
by
art
may
in
some
sort
be
helped
,
by
vse
of
being
amongst
guns
,
drums
,
trumpets
,
and
such
like
,
the
which
I
dare
not
absolutely
admit
,
if
by
any
possibilitie
those
may
be
that
are
naturally
bold
,
otherwise
there
must
be
a
continual
vse
&
practise
to
continue
&
preserue
whatsoeuer
is
accidentally
gained
:
&
yet
peraduenture
at
some
times
faile
,
because
it
is
not
naturall
.

a
Horse
may
be
thick
chapped
or
iawed
,
&
admitted
,
if
the
whole
head
be
lean
,
&
al
the
shape
otherwise
perfect
:
but
yet
there
wil
be
a
great
difference
of
pleasure
in
his
raine
&
pleasant
mouth
besides
his
voluntarie
forwardnesse
,
when
you
shall
compare
the
one
with
the
other
.
Lastly
,
the
verie
high
born
,
proud
and
stately
horse
,
might
also
in
some
part
be
tollerated
and
admitted
to
a
lower
raine
,
and
yet
a
good
Horse
:
but
when
you
consider
the
grace
,
maiestie
,
and
high
countenance
with
honor
and
maiestie
to
man
,
beeing
a
part
of
his
primarie
creation
,
I
cannot
admitte
the
least
imputation
to
man
,
for
whose
glorie
and
vse
they
were
in
all
perfection
originally
created
,
neither
to
admitte
the
consideration
of
any
imperfection
,
but
rather
by
all
possible
meanes
to
vphold
the
perfection
of
their
creation
,
least
man
should
thereby
take
libertie
to
neglect
his
duetie
and
charge
,
which
mans
corruption
too
much
of
it selfe
:
alloweth
,
and
vpholdeth
as
the
practise
in
all
ages
and
times
,
(
in
all
professions
doe
sufficiently
witnesse
)
howsoeuer
they
pretend
the
contrarie
,
and
thereby
allowe
to
Arte
such
perfection
as
to
make
that
perfect
which
nature
hath
made
vnperfect
,
when
as
Art
is
but
onely
a
quickner
vp
of
Nature
,
as
to
endeuour
by
Art
and
practise
to
make
a
low
fore-parted
or
short
necked
Horse
to
raine
well
and
perfect
with
continuance
,
which
will
be
performed
,
ad
calendas
graecas
,
when
God
hath
made
another
world
.
For
there
is
not
any
learned
phisitian
or
other
learned
man
that
can
or
will
chalenge
absolutely
to
cure
a
disease
that
nature
hath
bred
and
brought
forth
,
because
it
onely
appertaineth
to
the
Creator
.
If
a
man
will
bend
a
streight
Tree
crooked
,
or
a
crooked
Tree
streight
,
so
soone
as
it
is
at
libertie
,
will
it
not
return
to
his
naturall
grouth
,
can
the
taming
of
a
Lyon
make
him
leaue
his
naturall
roaring
?
will
Art
make
a
Foxe
faithfull
,
&
harmeles
,
or
make
a

not
to

wherefore
then
do
men
seeke
to
haue
breed
,

keep
crauing
dull

,

vnperfect

Horses
,
and
perswade
themselues
,
that

good

,
and
artificiall

will

them

,
do
they
thinke
that

can
bring
an

to
beget
an
ape

?
If
this
be
not
error
ignorance
and
senceles
practise
,
my
desire
is
of
those
that
better
vnderstand
,
to
defend
the
contrary
,
and
to
manifest
the
same
by
reason
:
how
shameles
a
thing
then
were
it
for
me
to
admit
,
more
grosse
imperfection
when
mans
corruption
transporteth
him
so
far
beyond
the
degrees
of
reason
,
to
allow
and
maintaine
all
seeing
imperfection
.
Againe

some
will

do
obiect
that
Horses
of
such
excellent

as
I

,
will
be
dangerous

that
are

the

beautifull

truly
vnderstand
at

age
such

are
fittest

bring

how
to

Fourthly
,

and

how
to
keep
them
in
perfection
after
their
conception
vnto
the
time
of
foaling

Sixtly
and
lastly
how
to
vse
them
when
they
are
foaled

and
how
to
preserue
&
continue
them
in
their
perfection

Now
if
any
man
demaund
of

why
I
doe
not
shew
what
grounds
are
meetest
for
breed

how
such

are
to

seuered

&
to
what
end
euerie
diuision
should
serue

I
answere
,
it
were

great

without

for
can
any
man
thinke
that
euery

that
wold
or
doth
breed
horses
may
goe
to
Corinth
,
or
can
haue
such
groundes
as
may
be
discribed
?
are
not
most
grounds
of
seueral
natures
&
qualities
?
&
are
there
not
infinite
numbers
of
Colts
most
excellently
bred
by
such
as
haue
no
inclosed
groundes
?
and
doth
not
euerie
mans
experience
(
being
his
principall
leader
)
confirme
the
sufficiencye
of
multitude
and
number
that
are
so
bred

so
that
if
one
of
an
hundred
that
are

few
could

I
haue
therefore
heerein

to

with
true
knowledge
,
how
to
haue

excellent

so
neere
as

Conception

The
ordinarie

naturall
generation
is
made
by
the
elementarie
force
and
forming
vertue
,
which
is
in
the
seede

it

in

that
the

Of

Elements

other
creature
is
compounded
.
EVerie
Colt
and
likewise
euerie
creature
,
and
things
inanimate
are
in
their
creation
compounded
of
the
Elements
,
which
is
as
much
to
say
,
of
a
pure
and
simple
thing
,
which
the
outward
sence
cannot
discerne
,
and
yet
the
common
beginning
of
all
Creatures
,
namely
of
Fyer
,
Ayer
,
Water
,
and
Earth
,
I
mean
not
such
as
we
dayly
see
with
our
eyes
,
for
they
are
bodies
compounded
,
which
our
sences
doe
perfectly
know
,
but
these
Elements
I
speak
of
are
aboue
,
which
our
outward
sences
are
not
able
to
discerne
.
First
of
the
Fyer
,
Fyer
.
which
is
the
highest
&
lightest
Element
placed
next
the
Moone
,
and
of
nature
hot
&
dry
,
but
most
of
heate
:
1.
His
vertues
&
properties
by
reason
of
his
heate
are
to
mooue
to
generation
.
The
vertues
.
2.
Secondly
to
seuer
the
bones
in
the
Colt
from
the
flesh
,
the
flesh
from
the
sinewes
,
the
heart
from
the
liuer
,
&c.
as
the
wood
that
is
burned
hath
vapor
,
smoak
flame
and
ashes
,
which
the
heat
seuereth
,
so
in
burning
of
seuerall
mettalls
,
the
heate
seuereth
the
one
from
the
other
,
and
yet
gathereth
the
like
together
.
3.
Thirdly
to
ripen
.
4.
Fourthly
to
disgest
thinges
rawe
and
vndigested
.
5.
Fiftly
to
mingle
dry
with
moist
.
6.
Sixtly
to
open
the
Pores
of
the
Colt
,
that
the
ayer
being
somewhat
grosser
,
may
enter
into
the
body
7.
Seauenthly
,
to
breake
the
colde
of
the
water
and
earth
,
so
as
it
may
not
distemper
the
bodie
.
The
second
element
is
the
Ayre
,
Aeyr
and
placed
next
the
fire
,
and
is
light
and
hot
,
but
chiefly
moist
.
1.
First
by
reason
of
his
moisture
,
I
meane
not
a
waterish
moisture
,
but
a
comforting
nourishing
moisture
,
as
oyle
is
to
the
lampe
,
The
vertues
.
to
make
the
matter
apt
to
receiue
shape
.
2.
Secondly
,
to
make
the
mixt
bodies
of
blood
,
fleame
choler
,
and
melancholly
,
not
onely
subtile
and
penetrable
,
but
also
light
,
to
the
intent
they
may
be
neither
too
grosse
nor
too
heauy
.
3.
Thirdly
,
to
slake
the
burning
of
the
heart
,
and
of
the
other
members
,
as
apeareth
by
the
office
of
the
lungs
,
which
(
as
a
paire
of
bellowes
)
doth
drawe
fresh
ayre
vnto
the
same
,
and
also
gladde
the
spirrits
,
and
disburdeneth
it selfe
of
those
fumes
and
excrementes
which
oppresse
it
,
filling
all
emptie
corners
with
moistnes
:
and
howsoeuer
the
ayre
seeme
to
our
sences
,
yet
doth
it
yeeld
more
moisture
then
the
water
.
The
third
element
is
Water
,
which
though
heauy
and
moist
,
Water
yet
most
colde

Thirdly
,
it
doth
gather
that
together
,
which
the
fire
would
disperse

:
for
the
nature
of
heate
is
to
open
and
disperse
that
which
colde

conioyned

and
of
colde
to

THe
humor
from
whence
the

are
,
1.
Blood

Fleame

3.
Choler

Melancholly
.
1.
The
blood
which

is
hot

,
and
yet
his

and
therefore
ful

2.
The
Fleame
is
colde

but
the
predominate
quallitie
thereof
coldenes
,
and
therefore
full
of
waterish
blood
,
with
little
heat
of

.
3.
The
choler
is
hot
and
dry
,
but
the
pedorminate
qualitie
therof
is
heat
,
and
therfore
full
of
anger
when
the
blood
is
ouer
hot
,
not
cleere
but
of
thick
spirit
.
4.
The
melancholly
which
is
blacke
choler
,
is
colde
and
dry
,
but
the
predominate

drines
,
therfore
heauy
,
sad

and
fearefull
,
for
the

full

The
vses
to
be
gathered
from
the
humors
.
Humor
.
FIrst
that
the
cause
of
the
good
or
bad
temperature
of
the
Colte
(
which
is
his
good
or
bad
qualitie
)
proceedeth
from
the
goodnes
or
badnes
of
the
blood
,
&
the
blood
in
nature
(
though
not
in
predominate
qualitie
)
is
like
vnto
the
ayre
,
light
,
hot
and
moist
:
fleame
to
the
water
,
which
is
heauie
and
moist
,
choller
(
which
is
red
)
like
vnto

,
hot
and
drye
:
melancholly
(
which
is
blacke
choller
)
heauy
,
colde
&
dry
,
like
vnto
the
earth
.
But
the
fleame
sweetneth
the
force
of
the
two
chollers
,
and
the
melancholly
moderateth
the
suddaine
motions
.
Blood
.
The
Fountaine
of
the
blood
,
is
the
liuer
(
and
the
vse
of
this
fountaine
is
to
keep
it
pure
)
from
which
the
veines
issuing
,
are
as
channells
of
the
first
and
naturall
blood
:
and
the
Arteries
comming
from
the
heart
,
as
conduits
of
the
second
blood
,
more
subtill
and
vitall
:
from
whence
it
is
apparant
,
that
the
purity
thereof
dwelleth
in
the
heart
,
&
yet
the
liuer
is
the
storehouse
of
blood
,
fountaine
of
the
veines
,
the
seat
of
the
naturall
nourishing
facultie
or
vegatiue

made

ingendred
of
the

Choler
Choler

Melancholly
in
the
spleene
,
which
is
the
receit
and
discharge
of
the
excrements
of
the
liuer
.
1.
From
hence
it
may
be
truely
collected
,
that
euerie
humor
hath
his
proper
end
and
vse
,
Blood
chiefly
nourisheth
the

,
Fleame
helpeth
to
mooue
the

,
choler
to
prouoke
the
body
to
anoid
excrements
,
and
melancholly
to
prouoke
the

to

.

Secondly
it
may
be
collected
,
that
such
as
the
temperature
of
the
elements
,
are
in
these
humors
,
whereof
the
Colt
is
framed
in
the
wombe
,
such
will
bee
his
qualities
and
dispositions
in
his
actions
,
and
if
any
of
these
humors
are
predominate
in
qualitie
,
when
the
Colt
is
framed
of
them
,
then
he
is
to
bee
tearmed
according
to
the
predominate
qualitie
thereof
.
Now
there
are
in
euerie
Colt
aswell
Male
as
female
,
foure
chiefe
or
principall
instrumentall
members
,
viz.
the
braine
,
the
heart
,
the
liuer
and
the
stones
,
otherwise
the
Female
could
not
haue
seede
to
mooue
her
to
lust
,
whereof
the
first
three
are
onely
to
preserue
the
body
,
wherein
they
bee
,
and
the
fourth
to
preserue
the
whole
kinde
,
from
which
doe
spring
other
officiall
members
which
doe
serue
,
and
doe
office
to
the
principall
members
,
as
the
sinewes
from
the
braine
,
which
are
animall
spirits
,
the
Arteries
from
the
heart
,
which
are
vitall
spirits
,
the
veines
from
the
liuer
,
which
are
the
naturall
parts
,
and
the
seede
vessels
from
the

as

From
whence
these
humors
proceede
,
and
haue
their
being
.
THere
cannot
bee
any
thing
more
true
or
agreeable
to
reason
,
The
foure
faculties
viz.
Eating
.
Retaining
.
Concoction
.
Expulsion
.
then
to
affirme
that
nature
hath
prouided
,
for
euerie

foure
Naturall
faculties
viz.
to
eate
,
to
retaine
,
to
concoct
,
&
to
expel
,
of
which
concoction
altering
the
foode

there
are
residing
in
their
bodies
the
saide
foure
humors
,
blood
,
Fleame
,
Choler
and
Melancholly
,
whereof
nature
vseth
onely
the
seruice
of
one
to
worke
the
creature
,
which
is
an
excrement
that
may
fitly
be
tearmed
whey
or
wheish
blood
,
whose
engendering
is
wrought
in
the
liuer
and
in
the
veines
,
at
such
time
as
these
foure
humors
doe
take
from
the
beast
the
forme
&
substance
they
ought
to
haue
,
and
of
such
licour
as
this
,
dooth
nature
serue
her selfe
to
resolue
the
meate
,
&
to
work
that
the
same
may
passe
thorough
the
veines
,
&
thorough
the
straite
passages
carrying
nourishment
to
all
the
partes
of
the
body
.
What
is
a
Veine
.
The
veines
being
a
conceptacle
or
emptie
place
of
receite
,
for
the
blood
mixed
&
confused
with
the
vitall
spirit
:
the
which
veines
haue
their
beginning
from
the
liuer
,
&
their
office
is
to
draw
from
the
liuer
vnto
them
this
whey
,
&
to
send
part
of
the
same
thorough
the
passages
into
the
bladder
,
&
from
thence
out
of
the
body
,
to
free
the
creature
from
offence
,
wherof
two
of
the
veines
cary
part
of
the
said
whey
from
the
liuer
to
the
cods
&
vessels
of
seede
,
there
residing
with
some
smal
quantity
of
the
purest
blood
,
wherby
the
operation
of
the
stones
,
whose
qualities
are
hot
&
dry
,
thereby
doe
make
a
perfect
seed
requisite
for
such
a
creature
,
the
which
two
veines
nature
planted
,
one
in
the
reines
in
the
right
side
,
which
endeth
in
the
right
cod
,
and
another
in
the
left
,
both
which
take
their
issue
from
either
of
the
cods
accordingly
:
Moreouer
,
nature
hath
giuen
to
the
right
cod
much
heat
and
drines
,
&
to
the
left
cod
much
colde
and
moisture
,
so
that
the
right
side
of
the
reines
yeeld
matter
hot
&
dry
to
the
right
cod
,
for
the
generation
of
the
male
,
&
the
contrary
for
the
female
:
&
in
the
like
maner
it
is
with
the
female
as
with
the
male
:
but
much
more
colder
&
moister
,
&
the
liuer
in
which
the
naturall
lust
of
the
beast
resideth
,
hath
for
his
naturall
temperature
heat
and
moisture
to
predominate
,
&
from
these
it
neuer
altereth
,
if
the
creature
be
in
perfection
of
health
and
temperature
.
The
heart
.
And
as
touching
the
hart
,
being
formed
with
the
liuer
&
brain
,
&
maintained
with
the
purest
bloud
,
hauing
greate
quantitie
therof
from
the
liuer
still
to
preserue
the
same
,
then
is
the
heart
so
hot
,
as
that
while
the
creture
liueth
,
if
you
put
your
finger
into
his
hollownes
therof
,
it
is
vnpossible
to
hold
the
same
there
without
burning
:
hereupon
it
followeth
that
the
liuer
beeing
the
fountaine
of
all
blood
,
haue
greate
store
of
pure
and
perfect
blood
to
maintain
the
whole
body
:
What
is
a
vital
spirit
.
And
the
vitall
spirit
of
the
Colt
is
no
other
then
a
bodily
fume
or
vapor
verie
pure
and
subtil
,
begun
in
the
heart
by
the
operation
of
the
naturall
heate
spred
by
the
Arteries
and
veines
to
recreate
and
comfort
the
whole
body
,
which
stirring
&
confortable
spirit
proceeding
from
the
heart
&
vittal
spirits
being
a
perpetuall
agent
,
and
euermore
in
action
,
because
motion
&
agitation
is
the
true
life
therof
,
and
so
euermore
remaineth
in
all
liuing
creatures
,
but
not
in
plants
or
trees
,
where
only
the
vegetatiue
soule
that
is
his
naturall
vertue
,
hath
his
working
,
and
the
vitall
spirit
onely
in
the
Arteries
and
Veines
,
as
they
are
seuerally
dispersed
in
the
whole
parts
of
the
body
.
For
as
in
the
middest
of
heauen
there
is
scituated
the
Sun
that
enlightneth
all
thinges
with
his
rayes
,
and
cherisheth
the
world
&
the
things
therin
contained
,
with
his
life
keeping
heate
:
so
the
heart
,
the
fountaine
of
life
&
heate
hath
affigned
to
it
by
nature
,
the
middle
part
of
the
body
for
his
habitation
,
from
whence
proceedeth
life
&
heat
vnto
all
the
parts
of
the
body
(
as
it
were
vnto
riuers
)
wherby
they
be
preserued
&
enabled
to
performe
their
naturall
and
proper
function
:
Furthermore
,
if
the
liuer
be
not
ful
of
pure
blood
,
it
cannot
perfectly
disgest
the
meat
,
neither
can
the
Cods

wherin
if
there
be
defect
of

,
Cods
.
the
seede
of
the
horse
cannot
be
perfectly
concocted
,
and
so
the
horse
is
impotent
&
without
power
of
begetting
,
for
when
God
said
increase
and
multiplye
,
Note
.
you
must
vnderstand
that
he
gaue
them
an
able
power
for
procreation
,
which
could
not
bee
accomplished
without
aboundance
of
heate
,
and
no
lesse
heate
did
he
bestow
vpon
the
facultie
nutritiue
,
with
which
he
is
to
restore
his
consumed

,
and
to
renew
another
in

thereof
,
so
as
no
one
thing
can
bee
more
apparant

then
that
pure

cleane

giueth
greate
heate

and
that

is
the
cause

Of
what
age
the
Horse
and
Mare
ought
to
be
,
that
beget
and
bring
foorth
.
HAuing
shewed
the
principall
rules
of
nature
touching
the
beginning
of
creation
,
Obserue
this
discourse
.
and
the
naturall
meanes
of
their
bodily
composition
,
it
resteth
to
shewe
what
Horses
and
Mares
are
to
be
chosen
to
beget
and
bring
forth
,
but
because
I
haue
largely
spoken
of
the
most
excellent
and
perfect
shape
,
and
of
the
perfections
of
their
qualities
,
&
actions
(
which
I
onely
admit
,
and
no
other
)
it
now
resteth
to
begin
and
to
expresse
the
onely
fit
age
,
when
such
beautifull
Horses
and
Mares
are
to
beget
and
bring
foorth
,
and
thereof
to
come
to
a
plaine
and
true
vnderstanding
:
I
thinke
fit
first
to
looke
backe
vnto
the
time
they
were
created
of
God
,
in
their
primary
creation
,
and
to
follow
his
example
therein
,
which
was
when
they
were
in
all
perfection
,
and
not
in
their
imperfection
,
for
when
he
created
them
,
they
were
in
all
parts
most
absolute
and
perfect
,
and
then
God
blessed
them
saying
,
bring
foorth
and
multiply
,
by
which
example
man
being
a
reasonable
creature
,
hauing
committed
vnto
him
from
God
,
the
rule
and
gouernment
of
all
his
creatures
,
for
his
onely
vse
and
comfort
,
cannot
now
in
the
naturall
generation
,
(
without
the
neglect
of
his
example
)
hauing
reason
for
his
rule
and
prescript
,
but
consider
nature
in
the
greatest
and
moste
perfection
of
strength
,
and
to
aproach
nearest
to
the
intire
and
perfectest
constitution
,
when
he
enioyeth
al
his
forces
of
youth
,
neither
in
the
corruption
or
depriuation
thereof
,
and
therfore
without
all
doubting
the
same
is
in
the
middle
age
,
beeing
the
center
of
all
vertue
and
perfection
,
&
for
farther
demonstration
to
confirme
in
you
this
proposition
,
I
pray
you
obserue
that
euery
horse
vntil
he
be
5.
yeres
old
is
a
Colt
,
but
neuer
after
,
&
that
is
,
his
first
age
,
&
if
after
that
time
he
lose
any
of
his
teeth
,
it
commeth
not
againe
,
because
the
excesse
of
his
moisture
doth
then
begin
to
abate
,
being
vntill
then
predominate
in
moisture
,
&
from
5.
yeres
of
age
vntil
he
be
10.
is
counted
his
middle
youthfull
&
perfect
age
,
both
in
vigor
&
spirit
,
&
action
,
because
hee
is
then
more
hot
&
lesse
moist
,
&
from
ten
yeares
of
age
vnto
15.
yeres
is
his
declyning
age
,
because
then
heate
&
moisture
doe
much
decay
,
&
from
15.
yeres
of
age
vnto
20.
his
old
age
,
because
that
then
he
is
cold
&
drie
,
&
if
he
do
continue
aboue
those
yeres
,
yet
is
the
same
with
great
imperfection
.
Now
for
asmuch
as
all
works
of
generation
do
only
appertaine
to
the
natural
power
&
vertue
of
his
body
,
which
is
tearmed
his
vegetatiue
soule
,
whose
faculty
is
to
nourish
for
the
conseruation
of
his
body
,
wherunto
doe

Nature
is
long

If
two
Colts
,
viz.
horse
&
mare
vnder
fiue
yeres
of

,
not
hauing
obtained
perfection
of

,
neither
refyned
nature
from
the
excessiue
moisture
of
youth
(
being
but
few
yeres

were

)
that
of
their

a

be

,
being
a

endowed
with
excessiue
moisture
,
their
seed
cannot
possibly
be
of
a
perfect

,
neither
is
or
can
bee
perfect
for
generation
,
because
all
perfect
seede
for
procreation
must
be
hot
&
dry
,
for
that
otherwise
it
neither
will
or
can
incite
to
copulation
,
with
perfection
of
generation
:
wherof
also
must
be
plenty
,
&
the
same
throughly
concocted
,
for
that
the
seed
of
the
mare
(
beeing
in
comparison
with
the
horse
,
is
much
more
colder
and
moister
,
&
therefore
the
Horse
must
haue
a
great
quantity
of
seed
,
both
hot

dry
,
equally
to
temper
the
coldenes

of
the

from
which
equallity
of

,
the
goodnes
of
the
colte
begotten
proceedeth
,
for
euery
qualitie
in

must
be
abated
,
by
his
contrarie

and
then
their
seede

equally
temperate

seasoned
without
excesse
of

qualitie

it
alwaies
formeth
the

of
the
Colte
conformable
to
the
quantitie
of
the
temperate
seede

,
which
it
had
at
the

add

al

take

of

at

not
at

Againe
,
if
a

should
be

,
of

cold

it
wil
be
great

which
conioyneth
all
in

without

Againe
,
if
the
olde
Horse
and
olde

,
should
beget

after
ten
yeares
of

,
wanting
the
power

of
their
naturall

then
will
the
colte
be
formed
of
a

ouer
colde

ouer

:
hauing
outrun
two
parts
of
their
age
,
whereof
if
a
colte
be
begotten
,
for
want
of
heat
to
make
an
equalitie
of
temperature
,
by
reason
of
the
coldenes

little

faint

for
that
it
wanteth
heate

I
meane
a
moisture
of

substance
)
the
two
principall
elements
for
preseruation
of
life
and
good
spirit
.
Againe
,
if
an
old
horse
and
a
young
Mare
should
beget
and
bring
foorth
:
then
would
the
Colt
be
framed
of
a
seede
from
the
Mare
cold
and
moiste
,
which
is
Flegmaticke
without
any
taste
,
as
water
,
&
of
a
seede
from
the
horse
cold
and
drie
,
which
is
sower
and
heauie
,
for
as
Galen
saith
,
the
Fleame
being
a
cold
waterish
humor
,
is
of
no
force
for
ornament
of
good
conditions
.
Lastly
,
if
an
olde
Mare
and
a
young
horse
should
beget
and
bring
forth
,
then
would
the
Colt
be
framed
of
a
seed
of
the
horse
,
little
hot
,
but
ouer
moist
and
of
a
seede
of
the
mare
cold
and
ouer
dry
,
wherein
cannot
be
any
perfection
of
equal
temperature
,
so
as
it
appeareth
an
approoued
consequent
in
Reason
,
that
the
middle
age
of
the
horse
,
hauing
a
seede
hot
&
drie
and
the
mare
a
seede
cold
and
moist
,
with
great
plenty
of
fulnesse
on
both
parts
,
in
the
greatest
perfection
of
heate
and
natural
strength
of
body
,
doe
make
equality
of
temperature
,
&
compound
themselues
in
such
high
degree
of
perfection
that
they
bring
forth
a
Colt
full
of
vitall
spirit
,
great
courage
,
boldnes
,
and
pride
,
thin
and
dry
bones
,
great
sinewes
and
Arteries
of
great
strength
,
louing
,
of
long
continuance
,
&
of
such
beautifull
and
perfect
shape
thorough
the
naturall
qualitie
of
heate
,
purifying
the
whole
body
from
all
manner
of
drosse
,
&
in
such
resined
manner
,
as
though
nature
had
assembled
all
her
forces
for
the
preseruation
of
her selfe
,
and
expulsion
of
her
enemies
,
for
such
is
the
nature
of
good
or
bad
seede

when
it
receiueth
any
well

rooted

euermore

Of
the
Elements
of
generation
.
NOw
I
thinke
fit
to
speake
of
the
proper
Elements
of
generation
,
that
is
to
saye
,
of
the
engendering
seede
,
and
menstruall
blood
,
from
whence
euery
colte
taketh
his
first
being
of
shape
:
and
heerein
I
obserue
a
difference
betwixt
nature
and
seede
,
for
that
which
is
truly
called
seede
,
is
like
the
seede
of
Rise
when
it
is
sodden
,
which
though
wettish
yet
thick
for
otherwise
it
cannot
effect
procreation
,
for
the
heat
hath
tried
it
and
made
it
fit
to
incorporate
it selfe
,
with
the
waterish
seede
of
the
Mare
,
and
that
which
is
and
may
be
termed
nature
is
thin
,
and
not
thicke
as
seed
is
,
so
as
all
seede
may
be
termed
nature
,
but
all
nature
cannot
properly
be
termed
seed
:
and
vnderstand
that
these
proper
beginnings
depend
vppon
the
qualities
of
the
first
beginnings
before
rehearsed
,
that
is
to
saye
of
moist
,
dry
,
hot
and
cold
,
without
which
they
could
doe
nothing
,
nor
yet
be
any
thing
of
themselues
.
Againe
,
obserue
that
the
matter
and
qualitie
,
wherof
euery
colte
is
compounded
,
is
so
subiect
to
corruption
,
that
at
the
instant
when
and
where
it
beginneth
to
be
shaped
,
it
beginneth
likewise
to
be
vntwined
,
so
as
if
nature
had
not
prouided
the
naturall
faculites
,
of
attraction
,
retention
,
concoction
,
and
expulsion
,
for
the
preseruation
and
increase
of
matter
,
for
continual
supplie
,
the
creation
thereof
beeing
finished
,
and
not
any
parte
of
that
substance
remayning
,
whereof
it
was
first
composed
(
as
in
truth
there
dooth
not
)
then
had
the
same
presently
perished
,
and
because
nature
is
truly
saide
to
be
the
temperature
of
these
qualities
of
heat
,
colde
,
moistnes
and
drynes
,
and
that
the
same
temperature
is
the
schoolemaister
which
teacheth
the
sensitiue
soules
of
the
creatures
,
in
what
sort
they
are
to
worke
,
and
to
performe
the
workes
proper
to
their
kinde
,
without
any
teacher
,
it
is
now
most
fit
to
consider
and
to
set
foorth
,
from
whence
the
goodnes
or
badnes
of
this
temperature
dooth
proceede
,
wherein
the
perfection
of
creation
consisteth
,
so
as
all
imperfection
and
hinderance
to
originall
nature
,
beeing
remooued
,
the
same
may
be
restored
to
his
former
perfection

That
the
aliment
or
food
,
that
the
Horseeand
Mare
do
seede
vppon
,
before
th●ction
raiseth
and
maketh
their
seed
.
THe
learned
Phisitions
and
Philosophers
do
holde
that
all
aliment
or
foode
is
differing
in
qualitie
,
(
after
the
disgestion
and
concoction
,
)
in
euery
creature
,
and
hath
a
different
and
particular
seed
,
aswel
in
substance
as
in
t●perature
,
from
which
groud
it
is
probable
,
and
without
contradiction
that
the
colt
begotten
,
pertaketh
his
temperature
,
and
quallitie
of
the
meate
,
which
their
Sires
did
feed
vppon
,
before
the
action
,
for
who
is
so
much
depriued
of
vnderstanding
,
but
knoweth
that
there
are
meates
and
drinks
to
increase
or
mittigate
heat
,
or
drynes
,
or
moistute
:
for
though
it
be
true
,
that
all
meat
that
Horses
eat
,
whether
in
naturall
quallitie
,
the
same
are
hot
or
colde
,
dry
or
moiste
,
turne
to
the
nature
of
the
Horse
,
and
of
his
substance
,
whereof
if
any
other
creature
doe
eat
,
it
will
doe
the
like
,
yet
such
as
the
naturall
quality
of
the
meat
is
in
his
operation
,
such
wil
be
the
naturall
quallitie
of
the
humors
,
after
the
same
is
concocted
,
and
disgested
in
the
bodie
,
and
according
thereunto
,
such
wil
be
the
blood
,
the
fleame
,
the
choler
,
and
the
melancholy
,
that
commeth
from
the
same
,
for
if
the
Horse
be
fed
with
grasse
,
sorrell
,
lettuce
,
or
other
hearbes
,
will
any
man
doubt
but
that
the
blood
and
other
humors
that
come
thereof
,
wil
be
in
nature
and
qualitie
colde
,
and
moist
according
to
the
naturall
qualitie
of
that
aliment
,
or
foode
.
Then
if
the
blood
and
other
humors
,
after
the
concoction
of
such
food
,
be
colde
and
moyst
,
will
any
man
doubt
that
the
seed
of
generation
,
and
the
menstruall
blood
for
so
much
therof
as
nature
taketh
from
it
,
but
that
the
same
wil
be
cold
and
moist
acording
to
the
natural
quallitie
thereof
,
and
that
as
the
blood
thereof
is
colde
and
moiste
,
the
wheyish
blood
thereof
drawne
from
the
liuer
by
the
veynes
,
wil
be
colde
&
moist
,
and
the
seed
thereof
cold
,
&
moist
,
because
the
humors
do
attaine
the
substances
and
qualities
,
which
the
meate
had
before
it
was
eaten
,
&
that
the
brain
of
the
colt
being
the
seat
of
his
sence
,
&
hath
his
beginning
&
maintenance
from
the
purest
part
of
the
seede
and
measure
of
spirit
,
which
the
Colt
hath
from
the
liuer
,
heart
and
veines
,
will
be
of
like
Nature
and
qualitie
.
For
if
wee
consider
the
Colt
and
sound
the
causes
of
his
essence
and
nature
,
and
consider
the
causes
which
maketh
him
mooue
,
you
shall
finde
that
it
is
his
heate
and
moisture
which
are
two
principall
qualities
,
consisting
in
all
liuing
creatures
,
nourishers
of
nature
,
for
so
soone
as
heate
and
moisture
faile
in
any
liuing
creature
,
it
can
no
more
liue
nor
mooue
,
&
streight
is
the
body
occupied
with
contrarie
qualities
,
coldnes
and
drynes
,
the
enemies
of
nature
.
If
you
will
mount
&
ascend
higher
to
know
what
is
the
cause
of
those
two
qualities
heate
and
moisture
,
you
shal
finde
that
it
is
because
al
liuing
creatures
are
composed
of
the
foure
elements
,
of
fyer
,
aier
,
water
&
earth
,
in
which
the
said
foure
qualities
of
heate
,
moisture
,
coldnesse
,
and
drinesse
doe
consist
,
and
while
heate
and
moisture
rain
in
the
body
it
liueth
,
but
when
cold
and
drynesse
are
predominate
then
dyeth
it
.
Againe
,
if
you
consider
the
cause
of
the
heate
and
moisture
,
and
the
other
qualities
which
wee
see
in
the
foure
Elements
,
and
in
the
bodies
made
of
them
,
yee
shall
finde
the
sun
the
cause
of
the
heat
,
&
the
moone
the
cause
of
the
moisture
:
let
vs
passe
farther
,
and
seek
the
cause
wherefore
the
Sunne
is
hot
,
and
the
moone
moiste
,
and
from
whence
these
qualities
come
vnto
them
,
and
we
shall
finde
the
soueraigne
cause
in
God
.
The
due
consideration
heereof
,
(
if
without
partialitie
it
be
considered
)
will
moste
apparantly
condemne
the
practise
of
all
breeders
,
and
the
workes
of
all
former
writers
,
and
their
knowledge
of
nature
not
to
bee
defended
,
for
if
iudicially
you
consider
that
the
power
of
all
begetting
doth
onely
appertaine
to
his
naturall
vertue
,
called
his
vegetatiue
soule
,
the
which
if
it
haue
bred
and
cherished
a
rawe
,
colde
,
and
vnperfect
seede
,
how
can
it
be
defended
,
but
that
the
Colt
begotten
of
that
seede
,
wil
be
of
the
same
temperature
,
and
depriued
of
the
good
temperature
which
it
ought
to
haue
,
according
whereunto
his
goodnes
or
badnes
of
action
will
be
,
wherefore
,
seeing
all
the
learned
,
and
true
experience
teache
vs
that
there
are
only
two
waies
to
come
vnto
the
knowledge
of
thinges
,
the
one
from
the
causes
and
maximes
to
the
knowledge
of
the
effects
&
consequences
,
the
other
when
contrary
by
the
effects
&
consequences
,
we
know
the
causes
and
maximees
.
For
when
we
see
the
earth
waxe
greene
and
the
trees
gather
leaues
,
wee
know
by
that
effect
,
that
the
Sunne
which
is
the
cause
thereof
approacheth
nigh
vnto
vs
,
and
wee
come
to
receiue
this
maximee
,
that
the
Sunne
giueth
vigor
and
force
to
the
earth
to
bring
forth
fruites
.
And
by
the
contrarie
wee
receiue
this
maxime
,
to
know
the
effect
and
to
conclude
,
the
consequence
,
that
the
Sunne
comming
nigh
vs
,
the
earth
bringeth
forth
her
fruits
,
and
withdrawing

The
meanes
to
make
theseede
perfect
for
generation
.
IT
is
graunted
by
all
learned
and
vnderstanding
men
,
that
the
seede
of
the
horse
ought
to
be
hot
and
drie
,
and
that
all
excessiue
moisture
of
seede
must
bee
abated
and
taken
away
:

Labour
.
Now
the
means
to
make
hot
and
dry
seede
fit
for
generation
,
is
labour
and
spare
dyet
,
[
](A07721-e19000-b)2

Spare
dyet
.
by
labour
the
moisture
by
reason
of
heate
is
exhausted
,
by
spare
dyet
the
disgestion
is
made
perfect
,
and
therefore
through
heate
proceeding
from
labour
,
the
same
is
easily
&
perfectly
concocted
,
and
so
be
cometh
fit
for
generation
:
wherin
also
this
consideration
is
to
bee
had
,
that
the
meate
that
the
horse
and
mare
do
feed
vpon
be
in
qualitie
of
Nature
hot
and
dry
,
and
then
moderately
taken
,
there
is
no
doubt
but
that
the
seed
which
shall
come
thereof
will
be
easily
perfected
,
because
naturallie
it
partaketh
of
the
qualitie
and
temperature
of
the
meate
,
as
hath
bin
said
,
and
also
the
same
meate
that
feedes
both
horse
and
Mare
would
be
one
and
the
same
,
The
cause
why
Colts
are
like
their
Syres
.
because
it
will
increase
a
vniforme
seede
,
and
so
the
Colt
be
like
vnto
the
Syers
:
the
meate
would
bee
olde
sweete
hay
or
Wheate-strawe
moderately
giuen
,
his
prouender
olde
dryed
,
cleane
and
sweete
Oates
,
wynowed
or
cleansed
from
all
dust
and
filth
,
mingled
with
olde
dryed
pease
or
beanes
,
with
a
scattering
of
Baye
salte
and
anniseedes
,
their
water
sweet
and
pure
,
and
euery
day
early
in
the
morning
when
they
are
both
fastinge
and
emptie
,
moderately
excercised
vntill
they
sweate
and
then
painefully
dressed
,
rubbed
dry
,
and
thorough
cold
before
any
meat
be
giuen
vnto
them
,
the
which
doth
not
only
perfect
disgestion
,
&
exhausteth
the
moisture
from
their
seede
,
but
also
strengtheneth
and
clenseth
their
blood
and
bodies
from
all
rawe
&
vnperfect
humors
,
whereby
you
shall
perceiue
them
to
exceed
in
pride
and
lust
.
Their
prouender
is
to
be
giuen
them
at
three
seueral
times
in
the
day
,
at
morning
Noone
,
and
night
,
and
at
euerie
time
tost
and
two
hours
meatlesse
to
cause
an
absolute
and
perfect
disgestion
,
for
fulnes
of
meat
ouercommeth
nature
,
and
thereby
not
able
perfectly
to
disgest
,
the
disgestion
will
be
rawe
and
vnperfect
,
whereof
can
no
petfect
seed
be
made
,
&
if
they
should
be
excercised
vppon
full
stomackes
,
then
thorough
the
greatnes
of
heat
comming
by
their
labour
,
the
meat
wil
be
more
speedely
disgested
,
then
nature
had
ability
to
performe
,
by
which
vnperfect
disgestion
,
the
humors
must
of
necessitie
be
vnperfect
,
the
which
being
so
carryed
,
from
the
liuer
by
the
veines
into
all
partes
of
the
bodie
,
the
substance
whereof
the
seede
is
composed
,
being
carryed
to
the
seed
vessels
,
in
such
imperfection
,
the
seede
remaineth
vnperfect
,
and
the
blood
corrupted
,
a
speciall
cause
also
of
all
inward
diseases
,
and
outward
sorrances
.
Hauing
obserued
that
hath
bene
spoken
,
about
8.
or
10.
dayes
,
before
the
Horse
and
Mare
come
to
the
action
,
being
both
of
them
in
great
lust
and
courage
,
feede
them
for
euerie
of
those
daies
,
with
such
sweete
oates
and
old
dry
sweet
wheat
,
equall
in
mixture
and
quantitie
,
for
the
wheate
is
a
great
comforter
of
the
heart
,
and
an
increaser
of
the
vital
spirits
,
which
aboue
all
things
for
that
action
is
principally
to
bee
mooued
and
stirred
vp
,
and
for
the
better
&
fuller
accomplishment
of
the
action
,
for
those
viii
.
or
ten
daies
,
put
into
euerie
gallon
of
the
water
they
drink
(
if
they
be
of
value
and
estimation
)
a
pinte
of
white
Wine
,
which
will
greatly
abate
the
colde
qualitie
of
the
water
,
and
let
them
not
at
any
time
drinke
excessiuely
,
and
sometime
giue
betwixt
them
a
pottle
of
strong
stale
Beere
or
Ale
,
with
a
greate
toste
of
wheate
breade
,
and
let
the
Stable
be
kept
moste
cleane
and
sweet
.
And
if
at
some
times
you
will
alter
their
dyet
,
for
that
peraduenture
they
will
not
like
of
that
foode
(
for
horses
doe
differ
therein
as
men
doe
)
then
make
them
breade
in
this
manner
:
take
wheate
and
Oates
equall
in
substance
,
and
grinde
them
together
,
&
as
it
commeth
from
the
mill
(
being
cleane
sisted
from
filth
)
bake
loues
thereof
well
mingled
with
brused
beanes
,
otherwise
the
bread
will
clam
their
mouthes
,
&
let
it
be
well
seasoned
with
salt
and
Anniseedes
,
and
two
or
three
daies
old
before
they
eate
it
,
which
will
bee
in
euerie
part
as
comfortable
as
the
other
.
And
then
doubt
not
but
this
maner
of
keeping
wil
make
a
moste
pure
blood
,
from
whence
proceedeth
a
moste
pure
seede
,
thereof
a
moste
temperate
and
delicate
braine
,
a
great
fulnes
of
vitall
spirits
,
and
so
a
moste
beautifull
and
excellent
Colt
,
for
heereby
(
as
I
haue
said
)
their
vegetatiue
soule
,
which
is
no
other
then
their
naturall
vertue
,
hauing
onelye
power
of
operations
as
a
directer
and
schoolemaister
,
to
the
goodnes
of
the
qualitie
of
the
action
,
proceeding
onely
from
the
temperature
of
the
braine
,
haue
their
beginnings
&
vertues
from
the
perfect
temperature
of
the
seed
,
and
the
seed
from
the
blood
,
it
is
euident
to
the
vttermost
extent
of
mans
vnderstanding
that
such
as
the
temperature
of
the
meates
are
,
such
wil
be
the
temperature
of
the
blood
,
and
such
as
the
blood
is
,
such
is
the
temperature
of
the
seed
,
and
such
as
the
seed
,
such
is
the
temperature
of
the
braine
,
and
such
as
the
braine
is
,
such
wil
be
the
direction
of
the
action
,
and
operation
of
the
colte
,
for
the
faculties
&
temperature
on
which
they
consist
,
are
altogether
giuen
them
in
the
wombe
,
without
being
taught
by
another
,
whereby
the
perfection
and
imperfection
in
generation
is
plainely
discerned
,
and
that
the
perfect
endowment
of
good
temperature
,
doth
possesse
sufficient
power
to
shape
a
perfect
bodie
,
and
to
increase
&
nourish
the
same
in
perfection
,
with
long
life
,
because
the
knowledge
of
the
sensitiue
soule
taketh
onely
his
dependance
from
the
temperature
of
the
braine
,
as
his
director
to
performe
all
his
actions
,
in
the
fulnes
of
perfection
.
Now
forasmuch
that
from
the
temperature
of
the
foure
first
qualities
,
hot
,
colde
,
moist
,
and
dry
,
which
is
properly
and
truly
called
nature
,
all
the
abilities
of
the
colte
,
both
of
vertue
and
vice
doe
proceed
,
it
is
an
euident
argument
of
truth
,
that
the
varietie
of
operation
,
springeth
not
from
the
sensible
soule
,
which
is
one selfe
,
in
all
ages
,
but
from
the
diuersitie
of
temperature
,
by
meanes
whereof
the
Horse
dooth
worke
diuersely
,
in
young
age
,
middle
age
,
and
olde
age
,
for
that
it
pertaketh
in
euery
age
a
contrary
temperature
,
Wherefore
one
Horse
is
better
then
another
.
and
although
Horses
of
equall
ages
,
are
contrary
in
worke
and
one
far
better
then
the
other
,
yet
the
reason
thereof
is
that
one
of
them
enioyeth
a
better
temperature
then
the
other
,
and
diuers
from
the
other
,
and
therefore
it
is
truly
saide
,
that
nature
maketh
able
,
and
that
euery
creature
worketh
according
to
his
nature
.
What
were
else
the
cause
that
two
coltes
bred
by
one
Horse
and
Mare
,
should
one
exceed
the
other
in
excellency
of
action
,
which
cannot
be
from
instinct
of
nature
,
but
onely
from
the
temperature
of
the
foure
first
qualities
,
and
that
is
the
onely
cause
that
one
bruite
beast
performeth
the
workes
of
his
kinde
better
then
another
:
being
the
onely
schoolemaister
to
direct
the
sensitiue
soule
what
to
doe
,
but
the
vegetatiue
soule
only
knoweth
,
how
to
forme
the
colte
,
to
giue
him
the
shape
which
he
is
to
keep
,
to
receiue
nourishment
,
to
retaine
it
,
to
disgest
it
,
to
expell
the
excrements
,
and
if
any
part
of
the
bodie
doe
faile
,
she
knoweth
how
to
supply
the
same
anew
,
and
to
yeeld
it
composition
agreeable
to
the
vse
which
it
is
to
holde
.
But
the
sensitiue
soule
onely
worketh
so
far
in
the
colt
,
that
when
it
is
foaled
,
it
knoweth
to
sucke
,
to
draw
forth
the
milk
with
his
lips
,
to
the
preseruation
of
his
nature
,
and
presently
to
eat
onely
those
thinges
,
whereon
Horses
accustomably
do
feede
,
and
heereby
you
see
what
thinges
in
nature
are
proper
,
to
the
temperature
,
and
to
the
vegetatiue
and
sensitiue
soule
.
And
although
some
wil
say
that
God
hath
originally
giuen
to
those
creatures
,
this
naturall
instincte
,
yet
it
may
not
be
denyed
,
but
the
Naturall
instincte
must
be
the
selfe-same
,
with
the
temperature
which
we
see
doth
diuersly
gouerne
in
yong
age
,
middle
age
,
&
old
age
,
all
which
proceed
from
the
temperature
of
the
seede
that
begetteth
it
,
and
with
the
descent
of
the
horse
and
Mare
,
which
fashioneth
the
body
in
the
womb
,
and
yet
are
there
not
two
soules
neither
together
nor
successiuely
,
neither
is
the
vegetatiue
corrupted
by
the
arriuall
of
the
sensitiue
,
nor
the
sensitiue
by
the
vegetatiue
,
which
being
done
,
the
seminall
forme
vanisheth
,
and
the
seede
ceaseth
to
bee
seede
,
and
that
substance
without
shape
to
bee
no
longer
seede
,
but
a
Colt
,
and
when
the
Colt
dyeth
the
soule
dyeth
,
and
is
annihilated
,
according
vnto
that
rule
,
by
the
corruption
of
the
subiect
,
the
forme
perisheth
,
the
matter
remaineth
.

Obseruations
for
better
direction
in
breeding
.
1.
FIrst
it
is
to
bee
obserued
,
that
which
most
importeth
generation
,
is
that
the
meates
which
the
horse
and
Mare
that
are
to
beget
and
bring
forth
,
do
feede
vpon
,
bee
in
qualitie
hot
and
drye
,
because
the
seedes
and
matter
whereof
the
Colt
is
framed
,
must
be
tarte
and
biting
,
growing
from
the
saltnesse
therof
,
&
so
become
hot
and
dry
,
where
through
the
seede
vessels
are
stirred
to
generation
,
and
doe
according
to
their
weight
and
measure
,
enter
into
the
composition
of
the
Colt
,
and
so
are
alwaies
to
endure
in
the
mixture
.
2.
Secondly
,
if
the
braine
be
pure
,
the
sencible
soule
of
the
colte
goeth
alwaies
vnited
with
the
disposition
thereof
,
which
directeth
the
bodie
to
euery
action
,
and
nothing
offendeth
the
sensitiue
soule
,
so
much
as
to
make
his
abode
in
a
heauie
bodie
,
surcharged
with
great
bones
,
and
heauy
flesh
,
and
that
is
the
reason
which
Plato
yeeldeth
,
that
the
best
and
finest
mettle
Horses
are
of
thin
bone
,
but
if
the
Horse
be
not
of
a
iust
and
true
proportion
of
temperature
,
then
vndoubtedly
there
is
not
any
such
perfection
in
that
Horse
.
3.
Thirdly
,
the
seede
is
meere
vegetatiue
and
not
capable
of
the
sence
,
but
only
followeth
the
motions
of
the
temperature
,
therfore
if
the
seed
be
perfect
it
possesseth
such
force
,
that
after
the
meate
is
disgested
and
altered
,
it
maketh
them
though
bad
and
grosse
to
turne
to
his
owne
temperature
,
and
substance
,
and
yet
cannot
vtterly
depriue
the
same
of
the
inherent
qualitie
,
for
the
humors
do
attaine
the
qualitie
which
the
meat
had
before
it
was
eaten
.
4.
Fourthly
there
must
be
great
discretion
vsed
in
feeding
of
the
Mare
,
vntill
shee
haue
foaled
,
leaste
by
long
vse
of
ouerbad
meates
,
The
meanes
to
preserue
the
colte
in
the
wombe
.
the
Colte
in
the
wombe
bee
impayred
of
that
qualitie
of
temperature
it
had
from
the
seede
,
for
otherwise
it
little
auaileth
to
haue
begotten
a
Colte
of
perfect
seede
,
if
you
make
no
reckoning
of
the
meat
,
which
afterward
the
Mare
feedeth
vppon
,
and
therefore
the
Mare
may
not
so
far
eat
of
contrarie
meats
,
as
the
Colt
shall
lose
those
good
qualities
,
which
it
receiueth
of
the
seede
whereof
it
was
made
.
And
the
reason
heerof
is
cleere
(
but
neuer
obserued
by
any
)
for
at
the
beginning
,
the
same
being
made
of
delicate
seede
,
and
that
the
colte
groweth
euery
day
,
impayring
and
consuming
,
and
is
to
be
repaired
by
the
aliment
&
foode
it
taketh
,
it
is
certaine
,
that
if
they
be
bad
,
and
of
euill
temperature
,
that
the
continuall
vse
of
them
,
being
in
the
wombe
,
will
make
great
alteration
in
nature
,
and
therfore
to
continue
the
colt
in
the
excellency
of
his
temperature
,
it
behoueth
that
the
sustenance
it
taketh
,
be
endowed
with
the
same
qualities
,
as
the
colde
doe
not
exceed
the
heat
,
nor
the
moiste
the
dry
.
5.
Fiftly
it
appeareth
that
colts
begotten
,
when
the
Horse
and
Mare
go
to
grasse
(
whereof
all
our
practise
is
witnesse
)
cannot
be
begotten
but
of
colde
and
moist
seede
,
how
excellent
soeuer
the
horse
and
Mare
were
,
neither
can
the
same
colts
after
they
are
foaled
,
by
any
possibilitie
be
restored
to
perfection
of
temperature
,
by
the
best
keeping
in
the
worlde
,
because
they
take
the
qualities
of
their
temperature
,
at
the
time
of
their
framing
,
Nam
alteratio
propria
est
mutatio
et
progressus
a
qualitate
sensibili
in
aliam
sensibilem
qualitatem
contrariorum
,
vt
albo
in
nigrum
:
for
a
proper
and
true
alteration
is
a
change
and
going
forward
from
one
sensible
qualitie
into
another
sensible
qualitie
of
contraries
,
and
therefore
can
neuer
be
vtterly
depriued
,
and
taken
from
them
againe
,
no
more
then
that
which
is
naturally
white
,
turne
naturally
into
blacke
.
6.
Sixtly
the
meate
that
Horses
and
Mares
doe
eat
,
ought
specially
to
be
regarded
,
least
their
braines
bee
thereby
distempered
,
because
the
braine
and
the
stomack
are
vnited
and
chained
together
,
with
certaine
sinewes
,
whereby
they
enterchangeably
communicate
their
damages
,
and
we
see
that
some
Horses
are

and
some
good
in
qualitie
,
which
groweth
from
hauing
their
braine
well
or
euill
instrumentalized
.
And
if
any
do
affirme
that
horses
haue
no

,
I
would
haue
them
answere
,
from
whence
he
hath
his
sence
,
and
what
is
the
cause
of
staggers
in
a
Horse
,
if
it
be
not
the
oppression
of
the
braine
:
and
the
liuer

the
heart
,
and
the
braine
,
being
first
created
and
truly
said
the
vitall

and
arteriall

from
whence
the
sensitiue
and
motiue
sinewes
haue
their
being
,
which
go
wandring
thorough
the
whole
bodie
,
and
their
office
is
to
stirre
vp
the
powers
of
the
horse
,
to
giue
him
force
and
vigor
to
worke

Obiections
against
the
former
propositions
.
IT
is
saide
that
the
good
qualitie
of
the
meat
that
the
Horse
and
Mare
eate
,
before
the
action
,
is
the
cause
of
the
good
or
bad
temperature
of
the
seede
,
&
that
the
good
or
bad
temperature
of
the
seed
,
maketh
the
goodnesse
or
badnesse
of
the
Colte
,
which
beeing
admitted
,
then
it
is
demaunded
,
wherefore
Horses
,
and
Mares
,
that
are
Iades
,
beeing
so
dyeted
and
kept
,
should
not
haue
a
perfect
temperate
seede
aswell
as
the
best
Horses
,
and
by
consequent
of
the
proposition
as
perfect
and
as
good
coltes
,
if
the
perfection
of
generation
consist
onely
in
the
temperature
.
I
answere
,
that
Iades
by
good
direction
and
order
,
with
continuance
therein
,
may
greatly
amend
&
better
their
seede
,
but
they
neuer
can
haue
a
true
perfect
and
temperate
seede
,
as
the
excellent
Horse
and
Mare
haue
(
of
whome
my
proposition
is
)
and
the
reason
is
apparant
,
for
the
seede
whereof
the
Iade
was
sormed
,
was
originally
bad
and
vnperfect
in
temperature
,
otherwise
he
had
not
bene
a
Iade
:
and
the
nature
of
all
seed
is
of
such
force
,
that
what
meat
soeuer
the
Horse
and
Mare
eat
,
and
disgest
,
although
the
naturall
qualitie
therof
be
most
excellent
to
increase
a
perfect
seed
,
yet
it
incorporateth
that
substance
of
seed
which
commeth
of
that
perfect
seede
,
into
the
substance
of
their
seede
,
and
naturall
qualitie
thereof
,
which
neuer
was
of
perfect
temperature
,
and
then
pertaking
of
the
naturall
qualitie
of
the
iades
seede
,
it
is
tainted
with
the
corruption
of
the
intemperature
thereof
,
and
so
remaineth
still
vnperfect
seede
,
and
yet
the
naturall
qualitie
of
the
goodnes
of
the
meat
,
which
the
Iades
cat
,
is
not
vtterly
depriued
or
taken
away
,
although
the
predominate
qualitie
as
to
the
action
and
operation
of
goodnes
,
is
carryed
and
transported
,
by
the
seede
of
the
Iades
,
whose
qualitie
and
power
cannot
be
taken
from
it
,
no
more
then
Art
out
of
an
Artificer
,
&
therfore
such
wil
be
the
qualitie
of
the
iades
colt
that
is
begotten
,
&
also
of
vnperfect
shape
,
because
that
the
vegetatiue
&
sensible
soule
,
are
material
and
corporall
in
the
seede
,
with
the
discent
of
the
Sires
,
which
fashioneth
the
colte
in
the
wombe
,
and
the
perfection
of
shape
concerneth
onely
the
vertue
of
the
bodie
,
that
begetteth
,
&
the
Iade
wanting
perfection
of
shape
,
his
colt
cannot
haue
perfection
of
action
,
And
againe
I
haue
found
that
perfect
Horse
and
perfect
Mare
,
may
haue
a
colte
that
is
a
Iade
,
if
my
former
rules
be
not
obserued
.
And
moreouer
if
a
present
good
order
should
make
a
present
depriuation
of
a
corrupted
nature
,
or
a
present
euill
order
,
bring
a
totall
depriuation
of
that
is
naturally
good
,
then
nature
should
be
inconstant
to
become
euill
or
good
vppon
a
suddain
,
sed
nemo
fit
repente
malus
,
no
man
becommeth
euill
vpon
a
suddaine
,
neither
can
nature
which
is
perpetuall
,
presently
passe
from
one
euill
vnto
another
,
but
by
the
meane
.
7.
Seauenthly
the
Horse
and
Mare
must
be
sparingly
and
moderately
fed
,
that
they
may
well
disgest
and
ouercome
that
they
eate
,
for
although
the
meat
in
qualitie
be
hot
and
dry
,
yet
if
the
quantitie
thereof
be
such
as
their
naturall
heat
cannot
disgest
,
the
same
becommeth
rawe
,
colde
and
moist
.
And
also
if
after
full
feeding
,
the
Horse
and
Mare
be
trauailed
,
it
procureth
vntimely
disgestion
,
the
wheyish
blood
thereof
comming
to
the
seede
vessels
,
is
ouer-rawe
,
and
falsely
prouoketh
before
it
be
disgested
,
and
seasoned
:
otherwise
it
increaseth
perfect
seede
fit
for
generation
,
and
both
hauing
perfect
seede
,
one
must
be
agent
and
former
,
and
the
other
serue
for
nourishment
,
as
in
the
forming
of
chickens
,
and
birds
,
in
which
are
two
substances
,
one
of
the
yolke
another
of
the
white
,
the
chick
being
made
of
the
yolke
is
maintained
by
the
white
,
whiles
the
forme
indureth
,
and
which
of
their
seedes
is
of
the
greatest
efficacie
,
of
the
same
is
the
generation
,
and
whether
of
the
seedes
the
generation
is
,
of
that
the
colte
retaineth
the
condition
and
qualitie
:
but
if
the
Horse
and
Mare
be
kept
with
ease
and
rest
,
it
engendereth
coldenes
and
moisture
,
and
thereby
quencheth
the
naturall
heat
and
desire
of
generation
,
and
corrupteth
the
seede
and
maketh
the
same
vnperfect
.
CHAP.

Now
followeth
the
fourth
rule
,
that
is
,
when
,
how
and
where
,
to
doe
the
action
in
perfection
.
THe
time
when
the
action
is
to
be
performed
must
be
after
the
Horse
and
Mare
haue
bene
dieted
,
and
are
most
lustie
in
the
perfection
of
the
bodie
,
hauing
plentie
of
seede
,
well
concocted
fit
for
generation
:
for
dooth
not
the
gardiner
with
the
seede
that
he
preserueth
,
attend
both
the
perfection
of
the
growth
of
the
hearb
,
and
vntill
the
seede
be
ripe
,
and
waxe
dry
?
for
if
they
pull
them
from
the
stalke
before
,
they
will
neuer
growe
to
any
vse
of
perfection
:
for
the
seede
must
haue
time
to
settle
,
concocte
and
ripen
,
and
be
duely
seasoned
to
become
hot
and
dry
,
and
of
sufficient
substance
,
&
then
the
time
of
the
moone
beeing
obserued
,
which
is
two
or
three
daies
before
the
full
or
new
moone
,
when
the
Mare
hath
greatest
substance
of
menstruall
or
flegmaticke
blood
,
for
composition
of
the
colte
:
the
which
the
colte
through
his
greate
heat
in
the
time
of
increasing
,
and
growing
in
the
wombe
,
will
consume
,
&
that
is
the
reason
why
some
coltes
are
much
bigger
then
others
.
Now
before
the
time
of
action
or
begetting
,
viz.
when
the
horse
and
Mare
are
both
lustie
and
proude
,
let
some
little
stoned
Iade
often
wooe
the
Mare
,
vntill
you
see
her
verie
willing
to
receiue
the
horse
,
so
as
she
will
seeme
to
burne
in
desire
,
alwaies
readie
and
yeelding
to
the
horse
,
as
the
hen
to
the
cock
:
but
take
great
care
that
the
Iade
doe
not
leape
her
vnlesse
hee
haue
such
trusses
that
he
cannot
serue
her
,
and
thereby
you
shall
be
assured
to
know
her
desire
:
then
let
the
horse
that
shall
couer
her
see
him
busie
with
her
,
which
will
greatlie
stir
his
desire
and
natural
heate
,
and
so
inflame
his
vitall
spirits
,
as
will
raise
greate
quantitie
of
seede
for
the
action
,
both
in
himselfe
and
the
Mare
:
the
action
must
be
done
in
the
morning
earely
,
when
the
stomacke
hath
perfectly
disgested
,
and
is
emptie
,
and
not
vpon
a
full
stomacke
.
Also
when
the
winde
is
in
the
North
or
west
,
and
not
when
the
winde
is
in
the
south
,
because
all
heate
maketh
the
seede
thin
,
and
the
south
winde
is
grosse
and
moist
,
and
that
the
ayre
is
of
such
force
appeareth
in
the
winter
,
when
it
dooth
harden
water
,
wood
,
stones
,
and
other
creatures
:
and
all
heat
as
the
Summer
time
witnesseth
,
openeth
,
dissolueth
&
maketh
the
same
feeble
:
Also
the
horse
must
couer
a
Mare
sildome
,
otherwise
hee
cannot
haue
plentie
of
temperate
seede
,
therefore
once
in
three
weekes
or
a
moneth
is
enough
,
and
not
to
spend
his
seed
but
when
hee
doth
abound
in
fulnesse
and
perfection
of
seed
without
any
respect
of
the
time
of
the
yeare
,
and
the
place
where
it
is
to
bee
done
,
would
be
in
some
house
or
yarde
,
where
no
hurt
can
come
vnto
them
,
or
bee
troubled
with
the
sight
of
other
horses
,
and
there
let
the
mare
be
led
to
some
slope
or
falling
ground
,
made
of
purpose
,
where
the
hinder
part
of
her
body
may
stand
highest
,
then
bring
the
horse
in
your
hand
,
at
whose
sight
she
will
pisse
,
or
at
the
least
offer
to
doe
it
,
which
she
must
be
suffered
to
do
before
he
leape
her
,
leaste
by
strayning
of
her
body
after
the
act
she
loose
the
seede
,
then
so
soone
as
hee
commeth
off
from
her
,
let
the
keeper
cast
a
paleful
of
the
coldest
water
strongly
at
her
shape
,
the
coldnes
,
strength
,
and
suddennesse
whereof
will
cause
her
to
trusse
and
shrinke
vp
her
bodie
,
and
thereby
a
great
meanes
to
stay
the
seede
,
and
cause
it
to
conioyne
and
close
themselues
in
the
matrix
:
for
the
wombe
dooth
not
presently
embrace
and
inclose
the
seed
,
but
some
houre
after
,
yet
the
wombe
doth
very
suddenly
draw
together
:
then
haue
the
horse
away
,
and
set
the
mare
in
some
close
place
without
giuing
her
meate
for
two
or
three
houres
after
,
and
no
water
vntill
night
,
and
then
not
much
.
And
if
you
doe
perceiue
that
the
horse
did
closely
and
courageouslie
serue
her
,
and
she
receiue
it
with
all
willingnesse
,
then
haue
him
from
her
,
and
let
them
not
come
no
more
together
,
for
if
the
womb
hath
once
drawne
together
,
and
maketh
as
it
were
a
pursse
to
drawe
the
seede
vnto
it
,
it
will
not
suffer
it
to
get
out
,
so
as
if
the
first
time
of
seruing
take
effect
,
all
the
rest
are
in
vaine
,
&
doe
great
hurt
,
and
the
first
dooing
is
euer
best
,
and
most
effectuall
,
because
the
seede
of
both
parts
commeth
from
the
veine
of
the
right
side
,
and
is
moste
hot
,
plentifull
and
aptest
to
conceiue
,
consisting
of
greatest
substance
,
&
in
qualitie
moste
hot
and
dry
,
whereby
it
cannot
bee
easilie
lost
,
like
that
which
is
thin
liquid
and
colde
,
and
if
it
should
bee
oftner
admitted
,
then
the
second
seede
proceedeth
from
the
left
side
,
which
naturally
is
not
so
hot
,
but
more
liquid
and
moist
,
whereby
the
conception
is
most
commonly
a
mare
foale
in
respect
of
the
moistnes
and
coldnesse
,
but
if
it
happen
a
horse
Colt
,
yet
not
of
that
goodnesse
wanting
perfection
of
heate
,
for
heate
is
the
cause
of
hardynes
,
and
courage
,
because
it
refyneth
the
Colt
from
all
drosse
and
impuritie
,
as
fyer
doth
the
golde
,
and
then
no
doubt
but
a
colt
begotten
of
two
excellent
natures
,
in
the
greatest
perfection
must
of
necessitie
in
all
proportion
of
reason
bring
foorth
a
Creature
of
moste
perfection
both
in
shape
and
action
,
because
Nature
affecteth
what
it
best
liketh
,
and
pourtrayeth
the
issue
as
with
a
pensill
,
and
fastneth
in
the
wombe
with
strong
roote
,
when
as
Hypocrates
saith
through
the
moist
and
watery
seede
it
easely
vnloseth
.

Now
followeth
the
fist
rule
,
to
know
whether
she
hath
conceaued
,
and
how
to
keepe
them
in
perfection
after
their
conception
vnto
the
time
of
foaling
.
FIftly
after
she
hath
bene
leaped
and
carried
away
,
if
shee
cast
not
her
seede
but
eateth
freshly
when
she
commeth
to
meat
,
and
so
continueth
,
and
doth
not
ney
nor
pisse
often
,
neither
casteth
her
eie
gasing
after
a
horse
,
&
within
one
day
or
two
begin
to
be
gaunt
bellied
,
because
her
wombe
in
conception
and
closing
it selfe
together
to
keep
the
seede
,
trusseth
vp
and
maketh
her
belly
more
lesse
to
sight
then
before
,
as
if
she
were
suddainely
become
leane
,
and
her
haire
lyeth
very
smoothe
,
and
brighter
then
before
,
as
also
about
ten
daies
after
,
offering
her
a
horse
,
two
or
three
daies
before
the
full
,
&
likewise
before
the
new
moone
and
she
resisteth
,
(
abhorring
copulation
)
it
assureth
that
nature
is
satisfied
,
and
are
manifest
signes
of
their
conception
:
and
as
touching
her
keeping
,
let
her
not
drinke
so
much
as
nature
desireth
,
and
still
keepe
her
with
the
same
meat
and
diet
for
twelue
daies
after
,
and
then
take
away
the
wine
and
not
before
,
if
she
be
a
Mare
of
worth
,
least
the
seede
and
humors
whereof
the
colte
is
compounded
,
should
be
impayred
of
the
perfect
temperature
,
before
it
be
framed
:
and
keepe
her
so
sweete
and
cleane
as
may
be
,
without
any
maner
of
laboure
,
for
the
space
of
thirteene
dayes
,
because
the
seede
during
that
time
is
but
milke
,
and
when
you
trauaile
her
let
it
be
very
moderate
,
not
in
great
heat
,
nor
with
heauie
burthens
,
for
feare
of
dissolution
,
and
when
she
is
put
to
grasse
(
if
your
necessitie
be
to
put
her
to
grasse
)
let
it
not
be
in
the
winter
but
in
the
sommer
time
onely
,
and
then
in
the
most
dry
ground
that
may
be
,
where
the
feeding
is
very
short
,
yet
so
as
shee
may
once
a
day
fill
her
belly
,
and
where
is
pure
water
and
shelter
,
and
in
the
winter
,
let
both
Mare
and
colte
be
housed
,
&
their
meat
,
old
,
cleane
and
sweet
,
and
in
a
temperate
ayre
.
whereby
they
will
be
healthfull
,
and
prosperous
,
and
if
she
haue
at
the
time
of
her
couering
a
colte
sucking
of
her
,
let
it
not
continue
with
her
vntill
she
waxeth
great
,
for
the
milke
which
the
colte
will
then
sucke
wil
be
corrupt
and
vnnaturall
,
and
make
both
her
and
the
colte
within
her
poore
and
weake
,
and
cause
the
mare
at
her
foaling
to
want
milke
,
and
neuer
to
haue
a
good

and
when
the
Mare
is
ready
to
foale
,
let
her
be
especialy
attended
,
and
put
in
such
conuenient
place
as
may
not
endanger
the
Colte
when
it
falleth
,
for
shee
foaleth
standing
,
and
at
the
time
of
foaling
continuallie
watched
to
succour
her
,
if
the
foale
should
not
come
right
:
&
presently
after
foaling
milk
the
mare
as
cleane
as
may
be
,
which
wil
not
onely
draw
downe
her
milke
and
make
the
same
increase
,
but
also
keepe
the
vdder
that
the
milke
doe
not
clodde
,
which
if
it
should
,
the
Mare
may
easily
become
dry
,
with
the
great
anguish
thereof
,
and
if
it
should
so
happen
,
then
draw
as
much
milke
from
her
as
is
possible
,
and
boile
it
with
the
tops
of
Lauender
,
and
bathe
all
the
vdder
therewith
,
whilst
it
is
verie
warme
,
and
so
continue
vntill
the
clods
and
knobs
in
the
vdder
bee
dissolued
,
&
the
next
water
she
drinketh
after
foaling
,
let
it
bee
a
good
mash
made
of
malt
,
or
with
wheate-meale
,
and
within
a
moneth
after
her
foaling
,
giue
her
a
mash
with
the
powder
of
brimstone
,
the
powder
of
Sauen
or
such
like
,
which
will
be
a
great
preseruation
to
the
Colt
,
and
if
she
bee
moderately
laboured
at
the
plough
onelie
,
both
when
shee
is
with
fole
and
after
foaling
,
the
Mare
and
Colt
will
bee
much
the
better
:
and
euermore
haue
care
that
she
eate
not
any
raw
meate
in
the
Stable
but
olde
,
sweete
,
cleane
and
dry
,
whereby
she
will
be
the
sooner
in
lust
,
and
the
Colt
still
continue
his

,
which
of
all
other
thinges
is
moste

to
be

The
sixt
rule
how
to
vse
them
,
when
they
are
foaled
,
and
to
continue
them
in
their
perfection
.
SIxtly
and
lastly
,
faile
not
euery
winter
to
Stable
and
house
the
Colts
,
and
let
the
Stable
bee
open
and
Ayrie
,
and
the
floore
paued
and
not
planked
,
for
it
will
make
them
more
hard
to
endure
cold
,
and
their
hoofes
moste
toughe
and
durable
:
their
meate
old
,
sweete
,
and
cleane
,
&
verie
often
giue
them
in
their
prouender
the
powder
of
brimstone
,
the
powder
of
the
rootes
of
Enula
Campana
,
of
white
Lillye
rootes
,
of
Polipodium
of
the
Oake
,
of
Sauen
,
marshe
Worme-wood
,
Tobacco
,
Garlike
chopped
small
,
and
such
like
,
and
make
them
as
domestical
and
gentle
as
is
possible
:
teach
them
no
trickes
or
apish
toies
,
gall
not
their
mouthes
nor
noses
,
neither
distemper
them
,
but
keep
them
in
all
loue
and
obedience
to
man
,
and
when
they
goe
to
grasse
,
let
them
runne
no
longer
then
Bartholmew-tide
.
Thus
by
reducing
thinges
to
their
naturall
causes
,
at
last
wee
come
vnto
the
end
in
God
,
by
whose
vertue
all
the
creatures
in
the
world
doe
worke
by
way
of
meanes
as
causes
or
dayned
to
that
end
.
HAuing
shewed
the
manner
of
true
and
perfect
breeding
of
Colts
,
manifesting
thereby
the
errors
of
all
former
times
,
by
not
vnderstanding
the
naturall
causes
therof
,
I
finde
many
obiections
engaged
and
imbarked
against
some
of
my
principall
assertions
,
as
humors
that
cannot
be
stopped
from
the
sores
in
the
body
,
as
aduerse
and
discontented
persons
associate
themselues
to
the
part
greeued
,
and
persecuted
.
Now
because
they
shall
not
further
limbecke
their
braines
in
the
art
of
discontentment
,
I
will
endeuour
also
to
take
the
fuell
from
that
fire
.

Obiections
against
the
former
propositions
.
FIrst
it
is
obiected
against
mee
,
that
I
doe
admitte
the
Mare
to
take
the
horse
at
any
time
of
the
yeare
,
when
al
writers
of
this
subiect
admit
only
the
monethes
of
March
,
Aprill
and
May
,
because
those
three
monethes
are
ordayned
thereunto
(
say
they
)
by
Originall
Nature
,
wherof
God
is
the
only
Author
,
and
the
naturall
reason
and
cause
therof
,
as
they
affirme
is
,
for
that
the
humor
of
blood
being
the
principall
humor
whereof
the
colt
is
compounded
,
&
in
it selfe
hot
and
moist
,
doth
in
those
three
monethes
rule
and
raigne
,
and
therefore
in
respect
of
his
heate
fittest
for
generation
.
2
The
second
cause
wherfore
those
three
months
are
fittest
for
generation
is
,
for
that
in
the
monethes
of
Iune
,
Iuly
&
August
,
the
humor
of
the
Choler
doth
Raigne
,
the
which
is
hot
and
dry
,
and
therefore
vnfit
for
generation
.
3.
The
third
cause
is
,
for
that
in
the
monthes
of
September
,
October
and
Nouember
,
the
humor
of
Melanchollie
doth
raigne
,
which
is
colde
and
dry
,
and
that
is
also
vnfit
for
generation
.
4.
The
fourth
cause
is
,
that
in
the
moneths
of
December
,
Ianuarie
and
Februarie
the
humor
of
Fleame
doth
raigne
,
which
is
cold
and
moist
,
&
that
also
most
vnfit
for
generation
,
and
so
they
conclude
,
that
God
being
the
God
of
nature
,
and
of
order
,
and
manifested
as
a
meanes
for
the
increase
and
preseruation
of
his
creatures
,
hath
from
the
beginning
ordayned
the
same
:
and
for
the
assured
confirmation
thereof
vnto
man
,
hath
more
plainly
manifested
the
same
,
1.
first
by
the
example
of
all
liuing
creatures
,
who
by
the
onely
instinct
of
nature
,
doe
in
those
monethes
in
their
seuerall
kindes
,
beget
and
increase
.
2.
Secondly
by
the
earth
,
which
then
bringeth
forth
her
bud
blossome
and
fruite
.
3.
Thirdly
by
the
successiue
practise
of
all
nations
,
and
that
these
be
their
motiue
causes
,
appeareth
especially
by
a
tractat
of
Pero
Lopez
,
in
reputation
a
famous
horseman
,
in
his
book
dedicated
to
the
king
of
Spaine
in
the
spanish
tongue
,
in
the
memorable
yeare
of
our
Lord
1588.

composed
in
Dialogue
manner
,
and
allowed
,
and
published
by
the
Kings
special
licence
vnder
the
hands
of
diuers
of
his
councell
.
Answere
.
Touching
the
limitation
of
time
,
namely
March
,
Aprill
,
and
May
,
to
be
the
onely
monethes
and
times
for
generation
,
in
respect
that
the
blood
hath
then
dominion
ouer
the
humors
,
I
deny
that
proposition
,
and
my
reason
is
,
that
the
equalitie
of
the
temperature
of
the
humors
in
a
sound
and
perfect
creature
,
are
alwaies
in
true
proportion
and
harmony
,
and
that
the
predominate
qualitie
of
any
of
them
,
is
the
cause
and
onely
true
witnesse
of
sicknesse
or
intemperance
,
the
which
may
not
bee
admitted
either
in
horse
or
Mare
,
that
doe
beget
and
bring
foorth
.
2.
Secondly
because
it
is
propounded
generally
,
I
answere
that
the
humor
of
blood
in
those
three
monthes
is
more
often
vnperfect
,
and
predominate
in
euil
qualitie
then
in
any
other
of
the
months
,
&
that
al
the
humors
in
those
three
monethes
are
more
intemperate
then
in
any
other
,
and
the
practise
of
Phisicke
generally
more
vsed
in
those
three
monethes
,
then
in
all
other
monethes
of
the
yeare
besides
,
so
as
it
is
manifest
,
that
the
proposition
so
generally
propounded
,
offereth
great
question
for
the
incertaintie
,
but
I
doe
admitte
that
the
perfection
of
blood
in
all
creatures
,
is
moste
principally
of
all
the
humors
to
be
respected
,
and
before
all
times
and
seasons
of
the
yeare
to
bee
preferred
,
and
not
to
be
limited
and
compassed
within
any
certaine
time
,
and
therefore
I
doe
not
referre
generation
to
any
particular
time
,
but
to
the
perfection
of
the
particuler
creatures
,
that
haue
a
firme
standing
habit
of
body
,
which
is
truely
tearmed
a
perfection
of
temperature
of
the
foure
elements
.
For
if
blood
do
exceed
in
heat
,
it
doth
thereby
suddainely
consume
and
dry
vp
the
radicall
moisture
,
and
by
the
extinguishing
thereof
,
destroyeth
himselfe
:
as
we
see
in
the
burning
of
a
lampe
or
candle
,
the
which
when
the
heat
or
flame
is
to
great
,
it
doth
suddainely
consume
the
oyle
or
tallowe
,
and
presently
extinguisheth
his
owne
light
.
Againe
,
if
the
oyle
or
tallowe
be
corrupted
,
by
mixture
or
matter
of
contrary
qualitie
,
as
water
or
such
like
,
it
presently
destroyeth
it selfe
,
and
as
of
heat
and
moisture
so
of
the
other
humors
:
therefore
reason
which
is
mans
onely
guide
,
telleth
all
men
that
there
must
be
a
iust
and
true
proportion
of
temperate
mixture
of
the
humors
,
to
compound
the
seed
,
&
make
it
fit
for
generation
&
preseruation
of
the
creature
,
that
is
to
bee
begotten
:
for
the
predominate
qualitie
,
or
contrarietie
of
qualitie
,
of
any
of
them
,
causing
a
continuall
iarre
amongst
them
,
is
as
a
house
or
kingdome
deuided
in
it selfe
,
which
bringeth
destruction
to
all
:
so
on
the
contrary
the
simpathy
of
their
agreement
is
the
preseruation
of
the
whole
,
and
this
is
onely
to
be
respected
and
not
the
time
.
3.
Thirdly
,
if
I
should
grant
to
M.
Lopez
and
his
fellowes
,
that
they
doe
not
meane
,
any
predominate
qualitie
in
the
humor
of
blood
,
but
a
good
&
iust
temperature
,
then
doth
not
the
blood
rule
and
raigne
ouer
the
other
humors
,
&
then
were
the
proposition
contrary
in
it selfe
,
but
admitting
the
best
,
which
is
that
it
ruleth
as
the
head
doth
the
bodie
,
in
the
best
simpathie
and
coherens
to
maintaine
the
other
humors
,
without
which
the
bodie
cannot
haue
his
being
,
yet
to
say
that
those
three
monthes
are
onely
good
for
generation
,
vnlesse
it
can
bee
proued
that
in
those
three
monthes
is
the
onely
time
of
desire
for
generation
,
which
cannot
bee
generally
graunted
,
because
daylye
experience
witnesseth
that
they
of
themselues
,
of
their
owne
naturall
desire
beget
&
bring
foorth
in
all
other
monethes
.
Againe
,
if
the
other
three
humors
of
Choller
,
melancholly
,
&
fleam
,
shold
rule
in
the
other
nine
moneths
of
the
yeare
,
how
suddenly
should
the
whole
kinde
of
all
creatures
decay
,
by
reason
of
the
great
Iarr
of
the
Elements
,
and
thereby
become
mortall
home-bred
enemies
to
Nature
it selfe
.
4
Fourthly
,
if
euerie
humor
hath
quarterly
in
euerie
yeare
his
seueral
rule
and
gouernment
,
(
which
cannot
be
prooued
)
and
all
learning
affirmeth
,
that
euerie
horse
worketh
&
expresseth
the
qualitie
of
his
worke
,
according
to
the
goodnes
and
badnes
of
his
temperature
of
humors
,
then
euerie
horse
in
euerie
quarter
of
the
yeare
altereth
the
qualitie
of
his
worke
,
&
by
consequent
the
qualitie
of
his
nature
,
which
reason
and
practise
depose
against
,
and
how
should
any
man
bee
assured
of
the
naturall
qualitie
of
his
horse
,
which
is
perpetuall
and
not
variable
and
vnconstant
,
Nam
omnia
naturalia
sunt
immutabilia
.
For
all
Naturall
thinges
are
vnchangeable
.
5
Fiftly
,
if
nature
shold
allow
,
or
of
himselfe
ordaine
any
thing
to
his
owne
destruction
,
or
to
maintaine
an
enemie
to
himselfe
,
were
absurde
to
admitte
,
when
as
Nature
hath
originally
,
or
rather
God
the
Author
of
Nature
,
bred
a
Sympathie
in
Nature
,
to
desire
his
owne
preseruation
,
and
an
Antypathy
in
Nature
,
to
haue
an
innated
hatred
to
all
thinges
that
are
enemies
vnto
it
,
as
appeareth
by
the
yong
Lambe
that
runneth
from
the
Wolfe
,
&
the
Dog
,
the
little
Chicken
from
the
Kite
,
and
such
like
.
So
likewise
when
sicknesse
or
infirmitie
breedeth
within
the
body
,
Nature
laboureth
to
her
vttermost
power
to
expell
her
enemies
.
6
Sixtly
,
blood
which
is
the
heat
of
the
body
,
must
in
all
monethes
of
the
yeare
,
haue
a
kinde
of
dominion
in
the
Horse
,
ouer
the
moisture
,
aswel
as
in
those
three
moneths
,
for
in
nutrition
the
thing
nourished
,
by
reason
of
the
instrument
ordeined
for
that
purpose
,
must
actually
worke
vppon
that
,
whereby
it
is
nourished
,
for
the
heate
is
maintained
by
the
moisture
,
otherwise
it
would
presently
consume
it selfe
:
and
it
may
not
be
denied
,
but
euery
agent
must
be
proportioned
vnto
the
patient
,
in
the
equalitie
of
excesse
,
therefore
the
heat
being
the
sole
actiue
of
nutrition
,
must
haue
dominion
ouer
the
moisture
,
the
subiect
matter
of
that
facultie
,
how
then
can
M.
Lopez
limit
the
dominion
of
blood
onely
to
three
moneths
.
7.
Seauenthly
it
is
a
generall
approoued
truth
,
that
eury
Horse
&
other
creature
is
framd
in
the
womb
,
of
the
foure
humors
,
and
that
he
that
hath
the
one
hath
the
other
,
but
not
of
equall
proportion
,
for
euery
Horse
(
most
vsually
)
hath
more
of
the
one
humor
then
of
the
other
,
for
it
doth
not
keepe
vniformitie
,
but
very
few
sithence
their
first
&
primary
creation
,
from
God
,
by
whome
they
were
created
in
true
proportion
of
temperate
mixture
,
but
sithence
the
defiled
condition
of
mans
nature
,
they
haue
bene
and
so
wil
remain
iarring
and
out
of
order
,
from
the
hower
of
their
creation
,
vnto
their
death
,
but
euery
slight
change
of
the
foure
qualities
proportion
,
changeth
not
his
temperature
,
who
for
the
short
indurance
of
the
distemperatures
,
the
bodie
returneth
to
his
former
constitution
,
but
the
variation
of
their
originall
constitution
,
is
the
true
proper
cause
of
the
diuersitie
and
difference
of
the
worke
,
which
proceedeth
from
that
inward
ingendred
cause
of
destruction
,
the
disagreement
of
the
elements
,
and
thereupon
I
conclude
that
the
goodnes
or
badnes
for
begetting
of
Horses
,
cannot
truly
be
appropriate
to
any
season
,
month
,
or
time
of
the
yeare
.

How
to
know
vppon
view
if
a
Horse
be
compounded
of
a
true
temperature
of
the
elements
,
and
when
otherwise
,
and
thereupon
haue
a
true
iudgement
of
his
naturall
qualities
.
THe
true
and
iust
proportion
of
the
temperature
of
the
elements
in
the
humors
,
when
the
colt
is
compounded
in
the
wombe
,
frameth
him
in
a
most
perfect
shape
,
and
excellent
for
action
and
long
life
,
and
in
reason
vnpossible
that
a
Horse
of
true
and
perfect
shape
can
be
naturally
bad
,
but
contrarywise
most
excellent
in

,
for
there

shal
be
a
perfect
shaped
Horse
,
without
a
true
proportion
of
the
temperature
of
the
elements
,
and
it
apeareth
,
that
if
the
humors
at
the
time
of
framing
the
colt
in
the
wombe
,
hath
not
any
iarring
or
discord
of
temperature
,
then
do
the
same
frame
a
most
absolute
perfect
shape
,
&
the
truth
thereof
appeareth
in
those
horses
the
were
immediatly
created
by
god
(
being
compounded
of
the
elements
as
al
other
creatures
)
were
of
the
most
&
only
absolute
perfect
shape
(
because
at
that
time
man
had
not
transgressed
)
and
vntil
then
,
there
was
not
any
iarre
or
discorde
in
the
elements
,
as
all
diuine
and
humane
witnesses
confesse
,
soas
it
appeareth
without
gainesaying
,
that
the
true
and
equall
proportion
of
the
temperature
of
the
elements
,
in
the
seede
,
and
the
humors
whereof
the
colte
is
compounded
,
bringeth
forth
(
without
some
contrary
accidentall
meanes
which
is
not
naturall
)
the
most
absolute
perfect
shaped
Horse
,
and
of
the
most
excellent
and
temperate
action
,
and
what
a
perfect
shape
is
,
I
haue
heerin
largely
set
forth
,
so
as
it
onely
remaineth
to
shew
,
how
you
shall
infallibly
iudge
vppon
the
view
of
any
Horse
,
whether
hee
was
composed
of
an
equall
temperature
,
wherby
(
as
also
I
haue
formerly
mentioned
)
will
appeare
his
perfection
or
imperfection
of
action
,
which
canot
be
truly
vnderstood
,
without
the
true
cause
therof
be
vnderstood
,
for
Mens
Philosophi
non
acquescit
nisi
in
causa
rerum
,
the
vnderstanding
man
euermore
laboureth
,
vntill
he
finde
out
the
true
cause
of
the
action
,
he
vndergoeth
.
Aristotle
the
Prince
of
Philosophers
,
in
the
first
of
his
Metaphisickes
,
saith
that
Omne
ens
naturaliter
appetit
suam
perfectionem
,
All
men
desire
naturally
to
know
,
&
the
cause
is
,
for
that
all
things
,
that
haue
beeing
do
naturally
desire
their
owne
perfection
,
and
(
asmuch
as
in
them
is
)
to
be
restored
to
their
first
perfection
,
&
to
conserue
themselues
in
the
excellencye
thereof
,
which
cannot
be
attained
without
the
true
knowledge
of
the
nature
of
the
thing
desired
to
beknowne
,
&
how
much
the
more
honorable
or
beneficiall
the
same
is
to
the
King
or
common
weale
,
by
so
much
ought
the
same
to
be
in
the
highest
&
superlatiue
esteeme
,
&
the
true
knowledge
thereof
,
first
and
aboue
others
to
be
preferred
.
Now
forasmuch
,
as
the
true
knowledge
of
this
subiect
,
euen
from
the
time
of
mans
transgression
,
hath
in
all
succeeding
ages
bene
laboured
to
a
restitution
,
of
his
primarie
perfection
,
and
yet
not
any
thing
extant
to
establish
mans
iudgement
heerein
,
let
me
now
in
so
waightie
a
matter
,
entreat
your
fauourable
eares
,
and
I
doubt
not
to
giue
good
contentment
to
the
iudicious
and
vnderstanding
Reader
.
It
cannot
be
denyed
but
that
the
Horse
and
euerie
other
creature
is
compounded
of
the
foure
Elements
,
viz.
Fire
,
Aire
,
Water
and
Earth
,
and
that
the
iust
and
true
proportion
of
the
temperature
of
those
Elements
,
was
in
all
those
creatures
which
were
first
,
and
originally
created
by
God
in
all
perfection
,
without
any
manner
of
predominate
qualitie
,
or
iarring
,
and
that
the
harmony
thereof
was
the
true
cause
of
their
perfection
,
but
at
the
instant
of
time
when
man
transgressed
those
elements
in
all
creatures
did
iarre
and
rebel
each
against
the
other
,
for
predominate
qualitie
,
&
so
will
continue
vnto
the
end
,
and
consummation
of
all
creatures
,
the
which
as
I
haue
said
are
now
become
hom-bred
enemies
to
all
creatures
,
and
the
onelye
cause
of
sicknesse
,
and
death
of
all
creatures
,
yet
the
Sympathie
of
nature
in
all
creatures
is
such
,
as
it
laboureth
and
so
continueth
to
bee
restored
,
to
the
first
and
true
temperature
,
and
to
suppresse
the
iarring
,
not
onelye
for
their
preseruation
,
but
also
for
restitution
to
their
primarie
creation
,
from
whence
there
cannot
bee
any
truth
more
apparant
,
then
the
nearer
the
Colt
doth
attaine
the
true
and
iust
proportion
of
the
temperature
of
the
elements
in
the
creation
,
the
nearer
it
attaineth
to
the
primarie
perfection
,
from
whence
also
it
followeth
to
knowe
how
to
chuse
,
and
to
gouerne
the
horse
and
Mare
,
that
shall
beget
and
bring
foorth
,
that
their
seede
and
substance
of
humors
,
wherof
euerie
Colt
is
compounded
,
may
at
the
time
of
their
action
be
of
a
true
and
iust
proportion
of
temperature
,
and
that
the
Colt
begotten
,
may
whiles
it
remaineth
in
the
wombe
,
by
the
nutriment
it
taketh
,
be
preserved
in
the
same
temperature
,
and
after
the
foaling
so
continually
maintained
,
as
the
true
ground
of
all
knowledge
in
this
subiect
.
Wherefore
omitting
any
farther
discourse
,
I
will
proceed
to
set
forth
,
how
all
men
vpon
the
onely
viewe
of
anye
horse
,
be
he
olde
or
yong
may
know
,
whether
hee
bee
compounded
of
true
temperature
of
the
elements
,
viz.
Euerie
perfect
shaped
horse
hath
a
broad
forehead
,
and
great
eye
,
to
expresse
his
naturall
boldnesse
and
loue
vnto
man
:
leane
head
,
thinne
,
slender
,
leane
Iawes
to
expresse
his
refyned
mettell
,
courage
and
quicke
spirit
:
long
high
reared
necke
,
to
expresse
the
perfection
of
his
reyne
,
and
perfect
sight
of
the
way
to
keepe
him
sure
footed
:
high
reared
withers
,
to
set
foorth
the
easie
going
by
keeping
the
bodye
of
his
Rider
very
vpright
:
broade
,
deepe
chest
and
body
,
with
vpright
pasternes
,
and
narrowe
hoofe
,
to
giue
testimony
of
his
great
strength
and
abilitie
of
body
,
to
indure
and
continue
long
&
great
trauel
:
And
euery
vntrue
&
vnperfect
shaped
horse
,
hauing
in
euerye
part
the
contrary
shape
,
viz.
A
narrow
fore-head
,
litle
eyes
,
fleshy
head
,
thick
fleshy
Iawes
,
short
neck
,
set
on
like
a
Hog
or
Goate
,
a
narrow
shallow
brest
&
body
,
weak
bending
pasterns
&
fleshye
,
broad
&
club-footed
,
is
a
moste
vile
royle
and
a
Iade
in
all
and
euerie
his
actions
,
so
as
all
the
Artistes
and
moste
excellent
horsemen
in
the
vniuersall
world
can
neuer
endowe
him
with
the
least
perfection
of
action
&
continuance
therin
,
wherby
you
may
as
truely
&
infalliblie
iudge
the
difference
betwixt
good
&
bad
,
as
the
difference
betwixt
fire
&
water
,
as
also
the
perfection
&
imperfection
of
the
composition
&
temperature
of
his
elements
in
the
time
of
his
creation
,
for
when
you
see
a
horse
or
colt
that
is
naturaly
lean
&
dry
,
&
wil
hardly
be
made
fat
,
&
continue
fat
&
yet
digesteth
speedily
,
of
a
slener
substance
of
bodye
,
short
hayred
,
and
the
same
hard
and
full
of
stirring
,
it
is
plaine
that
he
was
composed
of
the
predominate
humor
of
red
choler
,
and
that
the
blood
wherof
the
seede
was
made
,
was
of
a
darke
and
thicke
spirit
,
and
had
much
of
the
Gall
,
for
if
the
blood
had
bene
perfect
,
it
would
haue
bene
hot
and
moist
,
of
an
oilie
substance
,
for
want
of
which
radical
moisture
he
doth
too
speedily
disgest
,
neuer
fat
&
of
slender
substance
,
his
hayre
short
,
dry
and
hard
,
for
want
of
that
moisture
to
passe
thorough
the
pores
of
the
skin
,
to
make
the
same
soft
,
of
length
and
substance
,
and
that
hayre
if
it
bee
eaten
will
neuer
bee
digested
by
reason
of
his
drynes
,
when
as
his
bones
being
eaten
will
be
digested
,
besides
he
cannot
be
long
liued
,
wanting
sufficient
radicall
humors
to
feede
his
great
heat
,
for
the
lack
whereof
hee
is
like
to
a
lamp
that
hath
a
great
flame
&
little
oyle
,
&
therfore
speedily
consuming
the
Oyle
,
it
extinguisheth
his
owne
light
,
and
this
horse
is
tearmed
cholericke
,
and
his
shape
must
of
necessitie
bee
defectiue
in
substance
,
because
largenes
and
great
proportion
of
shape
proceedeth
principally
from
moisture
,
so
as
wanting
substance
and
fulnes
of
proportion
,
as
I
haue
formerlye
saide
,
he
cannot
be
of
continuance
but
quickly
spent
,
like
vnto
small
dry
wood
which
speedily
flameth
,
and
therefore
is
speedily
consumed
,
soone
hot
,
soone
colde
,
a
great
bragger
but
no
performer
,
a
fiery
looke
and
countenance
:
in
whome
at
the
first
entring
into
action
there
is
no
temperance
,
seeming
rather
to
flye
then
to
be
content
to
stand
quiet
,
and
yet
the
trauell
of
a
few
myles
through
his
violent
heate
and
drynesse
,
speedily
spendeth
his
vital
spirit
,
so
that
his
hart
which
is
the
chariot
of
his
life
,
and
the
fountaine
of
those
vitall
spirits
,
and
the
hottest
of
all
other
his
spirituall
members
,
for
want
of
sufficient
radical
oyled
moisture
to
coole
the
same
,
is
so
smothered
and
choaked
that
of
necessitie
it
yeeldeth
.
Againe
,
when
you
see
a
horse
that
is
long
,
large
,
loose
,
and
weake
ioynted
,
hollowe
eyed
,
not
well
compacted
(
although
by
hye
and
proud
keeping
he
may
make
shew
of
spirit
and
vigor
)
yet
not
withstanding
assuer
your selfe
,
that
he
is
compounded
of
the
element
of
Water
,
which
is
altogether
flegmaticke
,
which
in
predominate
qualitie
is
heauie
,
moiste
and
colde
,
and
therefore
a
lubber
and
a
Iade
,
beeing
weake
and
loose
in
all
the
parts
of
his
body
,
by
reason
he
wanteth
the
chiefe
element
of
Fyer
,
which
is
hot
&
dry
,
to
exhaust
and
drie
vp
his
predominate
quality
of
moisture
,
to
purge
and
refine
the
moisture
,
to
become
full
of
vigor
,
spirit
,
and
courage
,
to
the
performance
of
his
actions
.
Also
,
when
you
see
a
horse
that
hath
a
great
fleshy
head
,
thick
boned
,
and
fleshie
iawes
,
a
great
fleshy
vpright
ioynt
,
a
great
thicke
short
necke
,
and
a
full
proportioned
body
,
whereby
hee
seemeth
a
puissant
strong
horse
,
assure
your selfe
;
the
chiefe
and
predominate
Element
in
his
composition
was
of
the
earth
,
which
is
melancholly
,
or
black
choler
,
which
in
qualitie
is
colde
and
drie
,
and
of
the
element
of
Water
,
which
is
heauy
and
moist
,
so
as
by
the
moisture
of
water
which
is
fleame
,
it
groweth
great
,
so
by
the
coldnes
and
drynes
of
the
earth
,
which
is
melancholly
,
hee
is
framed
a
great
heauie
lumpe
or
masse
,
without
true
proportion
of
shape
,
and
his
actions
in
qualitie
are
heauie
,
sad
,
and
fearefull
,
and
vnapt
for
action
,
other
then
as
a
great
topp
,
which
neuer
goeth
well
but
by
strong
lashing
,
neither
can
he
bee
of
other
qualitie
,
then
according
to
the
qualitie
of
the
Elements
,
wherof
he
is
composed
,
wanting
the
two
most
excellent
elements
,
which
are
,
Fyer
and
Ayre
,
that
is
heate
and
oylie
moisture
to
raise
his
spirit
to
the
liuely
and
couragious
performance
of
his
actions
,
so
as
after
hee
hath
come
to
bee
ten
yeares
olde
,
hee
will
exceede
in
stumbling
and
falling
flat
downe
,
neither
can
bee
of
long
life
,
wanting
a
iust
and
true
proportion
of
temperature
of
the
foure
elements
,
neither
can
the
best
keeping
in
the
world
,
or
the
moste
skilfull
horseman
of
the
world
,
bring
him
to
performe
any
action
contrarie
to
his
nature
,
according
whereunto
euerie
creature
worketh
,
the
which
nature
is
no
other
,
then
the
temperature
of
the
Elements
,
when
hee
was
composed
and
framed
in
the
wombe
,
according
whereunto
his
shape
was
framed
,
which
beeing
naturall
,
will
bee
perpetuall
and
vnchangeable
in
him
vnto
his
death
.
And
therefore
there
is
not
any
truth
can
bee
more
apparant
,
then
that
a
iust
and
true
proportion
of
the
temperature
of
the
Elements
maketh
a
Horse
of
perfect
shape
and
excellent
qualitie
:
and
hauing
largely
shewed
you
his
vertues
,
I
speake
not
for
them
,
if
your
sight
cannot
commaund
affection
,
let
them
loose
it
,
they
shall
please
much
better
,
after
you
haue
troubled
your
eyes
with
the
view
of
the
iades
deformities
,
and
then
how
much
more
they
please
,
so
much
more
odious
and
like
themselues
,
shall
the
Iades
deformities
appeare
,
for
this
true
light
contraries
giue
each
to
the
other
,
that
in
the
midst
of
their
enmitie
,
the
one
maketh
the
other
seeme
more
good
or
euill
.
Now
it
resteth
to
consider
how
possible
it
can
bee
that
a
Colte
can
be
compounded
of
a
true
proportion
of
temperature
,
if
you
suffer
Horse
and
Mare
goe
to
grasse
when
they
beget
,
and
were
all
learning
and
reason
banished
from
this
my
assertion
,
the
onely
infinite
number
of
iades
,
being
a
thousand
to
one
of
good
Horses
,
would
condemne
the
generall
practise
of
all
Nations
,
and
their
errors
heerein
not
to
be
defended
.
But
if
you
obserue
the
naturall
quality
of
euery
Element
(
if
the
instinct
of
originall
nature
be
not
annihilated
,
you
will
reforme
your
iudgement
and
consequently
your
practise
,
in
breeding
)
for
the
nature
of
the
Element
of
fire
(
whereunto
the
humour
of
perfect
blood
is
likened
)
dooth
seuer
the
pure
from
the
vnpure
,
rust
and
drosse
from
the
Iron
,
the
copper
and
vnperfect
mettel
from
the
gold
,
the
siluer
from
the
impuritie
of
the
Alleye
or
Ore
,
the
mas●e
and
vnpurified
substance
of
fleshe
from
the
bones
,
the
grossenes
of
the
bones
into
the
purity
of
bones
,
and
it
openeth
and
disperseth
the
massie
and
vnproportionate
substance
into
a
pure
and
fine
substance
of
flesh
,
and
the
reason
why
the
blood
of
the
Mare
is
more
waterishe
,
raw
,
grosser
,
and
vnperfecter
,
then
the
blood
of
the
Horse
is
,
for
that
she
wanteth
that
sufficiencie
of
heate
,
which
the
Horse
hath
,
to
refine
and
perfect
the
same
,
and
the
fountaine
of
blood
,
both
in
Horse
and
Mare
,
would
be
plentifull
and
pure
,
because
their
seede
is
first
taken
from
the
same
(
as
I
haue
formerly
shewed
)
and
the
fountaine
of
blood
is
the
liuer
,
from
which
the
veines
doe
disperse
and
conuey
the
same
to
the
whole
bodie
,
and
the
liuer
is
called
Epar
from
the
worde
Pyr
which
signifieth
fire
,
now
if
the
liuer
should
be
colde
or
a
fountaine
of
vnperfect
blood
,
then
no
doubt
but
the
colte
wil
be
vnpersect
,
and
the
reason
is
apparant
,
for
that
the
element
of
fire
in
the
blood
,
dooth
purifie
all
the
substance
whereof
the
Colte
is
framed
in
the
wombe
,
and
the
vitall
spirit
of
the
sensible
soule
of
the
Horse
and
Mare
,
if
the
elements
in
them
be
not
in
perfection
of
temperature
,
can
not
endure
.
Againe
,
the
element
of
the
ayre

a
light
and
pure
element

hotte
and
moyste
,
dooth
most

maintaine

the
Element
of

euen
as
pure
oyle
dooth
the

of
the

maketh
the
mixte
bodies
of
fleame
,
choler
,
and
melancholy
,
light
,
to
the
intent
they
may
be
neither
too
grosse
nor
too
heauy
.
Againe
the
element
of
water
being
heauy
,
colde
,
and
moiste
,
according
to
his
nature
,
doth
greatly
enlarge
both
bones
,
flesh
,
and
sinewes
,
and
according
to
the
nature
of
moisture
,
doth
temper
the
feruent
heate
of
fire
,
and
keepe
that
together
which
the
heate
would
disperse
.
Againe
,
the
element
of
the
earth
being
cold
and
dry
,
but
principally
dry
,
doth
harden
the
bodie
,
to
retaine
his
shape
,
which
the
aire
&
water
would
make
fluxible
,
the
which
elements
in
the
foure
humors
of

,
fleame
,
choler
,
and
melancholly
(
whereof
euery
colte
is

there
ought
to
be
a
iust
proportion

otherwise
it
is
vnpossible
to

a

whence
there
followeth
the

That

The
answere
to
the
examples
NOw
to
answere
the
examples
,
the
first
whereof
is
,
that
all
liuing
creatures
,
in
those
three
moneths
of
March
,
April
,
&
May
,
do
beget
and
bring
forth
,
I
answere
briefely
,
that
if
the
example
be
vnderstood
,
it
doth
not
condemne
my
proposition
,
for
if
it
were
granted
that
all
liuing
creatures
,
do
in
those
3.
moneths
only
beget
&
bring
forth
(
which
were
moste
vntrue
to
grant-the
word
(
all
)
cannot
haue
an
absolute
reference
to
the
whole
species
and
kinde
of
all
creatures
without
exception
,
so
as
no
creature
hath
,
doth
,
or
shall
beget
or
bring
foorth
,
but
onely
in
those
3.
moneths
:
but
it
is
true
that
there
are
some
of
all
creatures
,
that
do
then
commonly
beget
and
bring
forth
,
and
some
there
be
of
all
creatures
,
that
neither
then
nor
in
any
time
of
their
liues
,
beget
and
bring
foorth
,
thorough
the
imperfection
of
some
naturall
cause
,
neither
is
it
an
infallible
proposition
,
to
say
,
that
because
they
do
beget
&
bring
foorth
,
in
those
three
moneths
,
therefore
all
other
moneths
of
the
yeare
are
vnmeete
and
exempted
to
beget
and
bring
foorth
,
for
if
you
consider
the
originall
cause
from
God
,
when
he
saide
increase
and
multiply
,
the
same
was
not
particularly
limited
to
any
day
,
moneth
,
or
yeare
,
for
the
examples
are
manifest
,
that
there
are
some
of
al
creatures
,
which
doe
beget
and
bring
forth
in
all
moneths
of
the
yeare
and
the
reason
wherfore
in
these
three
monethes
,
these
actions
are
most
vsuall
,
is
for
that
the
sun
hauing
long
absented
himselfe
,
so
as
the
cold
and
stormy
winter
weather
hath
greatly
weakened
and
impaired
the
naturall
strength
and
state
of
the
bodie
,
especially
of
the
sauadge
and
wilde
,
which
want
fulnes
of
foode
to
increase
and
mainetaine
the
same
,
and
for
that
cause
doe
abstaine
from
generation
,
vntil
the
sun
giue
more
heat
to
comfort
their
bodies
,
with
increase
of
foode
,
the
which
is
to
be
seene
in
the
seuerall
kinde
of
all
creatures
,
as
in
conies
,
pigeons
,
and
other
domesticall
creatures
,
which
doe
beget
and
bring
foorth
in
all
times
of
the
yeare
:
and
to
say
that
those
three
months
are
onely
fit
,
because
blood
is
then
predominate
,
is
also
against
the
opinion
of
the
learned
,
who
affirme
the
blood
to
increase
from
the
eight
of
Februarie
,
vnto
the
seauenth
of
May
,
and
that
red
choler
increaseth
from
the
seauenth
of
May
,
vnto
the
seauenth
of
August
,
and
that
blacke
choler
which
is
melancholly
,
beginneth
to
increase
from
the
seauenth
of
August
,
vnto
the
seauenth
of
Nouember
,
and
that
fleame
beginneth
to
increase
from
the
seauenth
of
Nouember
,
vnto
the
seauenth
of
February
,
and
yet
not
any
of
them
can
be
saide
to
haue
dominion
onely
in
those
times
,
for
that
were
to
allow
the
discordand
predominate
qualitie
of
the
elements

is

onely
cause
of

The
answere
to
the
second
example
from
the
earth
.
THe
apparancy
of
that
reason
,
is
also
taken
from
the
force
of
the
naturall
heate
of
the
sunne
,
wherewith
all
trees
,
grasse
,
&
plants
,
the
vegetatiue
soule
or
the
naturall
life
and
vertue
thereof
,
hauing
ben
imprisoned
in
the
colde
time
of
winter
in
the
rootes
lying
in
the
bowels
of
the
earth
,
to
shroude
and
preserue
themselues
from
destruction
,
the
sunne
drawing
neere
vnto
them
,
the
same
being
the
preseruation
of
their
liues
,
do
then
begin
to
shew
their
life
in
the
greatest
glory
,
but
the
same
is
not
to
be
attributed
to
the
saide
moneths
,
if
the
sunne
did
not
at
that
time
extend
his
naturall
heat
more
and
otherwise
,
in
the
other
Monethes
,
as
the
diuersitie
of
colde
and
hot
countries
do
manifest
,
and
therefore
I
will
proceed
to
the
reasons
of
the
practise
of
these
moneths
.
The
reason
of
the
common
practise
of
all
nations
,
is
for
that
a
mare
goeth
with
foale
twelue
moneths
and
ten
daies
,
or
there
abouts
:
and
therefore
the
moste
breeders
would
not
haue
the
mare
go
to
horse
,
before
those
moneths
of
March
,
Aprill
,
or
May
,
because
her
foaling
time
should
be
neere
the
spring
of
grasse
,
the
which
opinion
and
practise
I
thinke
fit
likewise
to
examine
.
There
is
not
any
man
of
experience
the
can
truly
deny
but
if
the
Mare
be
lustie
,
and
in
perfection
of
health
,
when
she
foaleth
,
at
what
time
of
the
yeare
soeuer
it
be
,
but
that
she
hath
more
milk
for
three
weekes
or
a
month
,
then
the
foale
is
able
to
sucke
,
and
to
continue
plentifull
in
milke
,
let
her
presently
after
foaling
bee
milked
so
cleane
as
may
bee
,
and
so
continued
vntill
the
curd
in
her
vdder
be
broken
and
dissolued
,
which
will
make
her
plentifull
in
milk
,
a
thing
easily
done
,
if
she
before
be
made
domesticall
,
and
the
same
is
approoued
true
in
all
creatures
that
giue
sucke
,
so
as
if
she
foale
in
the
beginning
of
Winter
,
yet
wil
she
haue
plenty
of
milk
,
being
housed
,
she
wil
haue
a
more
lusty
,
strong
,
healthfull
and
couragious
Colt
,
of
great
stature
,
and
greater
strength
,
and
better
able
to
indure
hardnes
,
and
keepe
his
flesh
better
then
if
she
foaled
at
May
day
,
my
reasons
are
,
Although
the
grasse
maketh
great
quantitie
of
milk
,
yet
the
same
is
verie
thin
,
and
the
winter
food
lesse
in
quantitie
,
but
verie
thicke
and
of
greater
nourishment
,
and
that
a
Colt
foaled
in
the
winter
will
bee
stronger
then
that
is
foaled
in
the
Summer
,
because
that
coldnes
of
ayre
by
vnyting
&
knitting
of
the
bodie
(
according
to
the
nature
of
colde
)
giueth
strength
much
more
then
heate
,
for
heat
openeth
,
dissolueth
and
weakeneth
,
for
all
creatures
are
stronger
in
Winter
then
in
Summer
,
and
they
will
eate
much
more
,
and
disgest
better
in
the
colde
then
in
the
heat
,
because
the
naturall
heat
is
thereby
in
the
inner
parts
,
&
not
dispersed
,
and
those
are
most
strong
&
of
greater
stature
that
are
bred
verie
far
North
,
then
those
in
the
south
.
And
Aristotle
in
his
politiques
saith
,
that
generally
such
as
are
bred
in
colder
countries
,
are
stronger
and
bigger
bodyed
,
and
better
couraged
,
and
longer
liued
,
for
the
coldenes
of
the
compassing
ayre
restects
the
ayre
into
the
inner
partes
,
and
by
that
reflection
the
heates
force
is
increased
,
and
the
partes
gathered
better
and
closer
together
.
And
moreouer
by
giuing
somtimes
masshes
,
made
with
malte
,
or
with
wheat
meale
,
and
mixed
with
the
pouder
of
brimstone
,
of
the
rootes
of
Enula
campana
,
of
Polipodium
of
the
Oake
,
Anniseedes
,
Licorish
,
Fenegreeke
Turmericke
,
Bay-berries
,
and
such
like
,
which
will
not
onely
increase
the
milke
of
the
mare
,
but
also
most
medicinable
for
the
healthfull
preseruation
of
her
and
her
foale
,
and
the
Colte
being
thus
wintered
in
the
house
with
his
dam
,
it
will
make
it
to
feede
of
all
manner
of
winter
foode
,
and
quietly
take
any
medicine
,
and
become
most
gentle
,
being
brought
vp
in
the
company
of
man
from
the
day
of
the
foaling
,
whereby
it
shall
not
neede
to
be
tamed
or
broken
,
as
other
Coltes
are
,
neither
to
be
roughly
handled
for
the
curing
of
any
hurt
or
sorrance
that
may
happen
.
Also
(
if
you
cannot
otherwise
iudge
)
you
shall
thereby
finde
the
natural
qualitie
and
disposition
thereof
,
and
being
from
his
time
of
foaling
,
kept
in
a
paued
stable
with
stone
(
for
so
would
all
stables
be
)
it
will
harden
his
hooues
,
not
suffering
them
to
become
broad
footed
,
making
him
most
bolde
to
tread
vppon
any
ground
,
it
will
make
him
louing
to
the
man
,
and
bold
to
euery
action
,
and
to
be
taught
many
good
qualities
,
and
when
the
spring
of
grasse
commeth
,
it
wil
little
or
nothing
regard
the
dams
milke
.
And
if
any
doe
thinke
that
in
the
winter
for
lacke
of
milk
it
would
be
in
penury
or
hindered
of
groweth
,
they
do
much
erre
therein
,
for
it
will
feede
fat
,
lusty
,
&
strong
in
the
winter
,
if
it
be
brought
vp
by
hand
without
milke
,
giuing
it
hay
,
oats
,
bran
,
barly
,
pease
or
beanes
,
&
such
like
:
but
on
the
contrary
,
when
the
colte
is
foaled
in
May
,
or
in
the
middle
of
sommer
,
(
which
most
men
desire
)
not
well
considering
what
they
desire
,
the
contrary
of
all
former
benefits
will
ensue
,
it
is
saide
that
the
colte
will
haue
plenty
of
milke
,
which
I
doe
not
deny
,
but
being
milke
from
grasse
it
wil
be
thin
and
waterish
,
and
for
a
smal
time
,
and
when
it
hath
least
neede
of
plenty
(
and
this
is
the
greatest
reason
)
but
when
it
is
growne
&
able
to
take
great
store
of
nourishment
,
then
the
winter
weather
of
snowe
,
frosts
,
and
fluds
,
the
colte
being
then
yong
and
tender
,
the
mare
cannot
(
in
reason
)
but
want
plenty
of
milke
,
wanting
plenty
of
pleasant
foode
,
warme
and
dry
lodging
,
at
which
time
the
colte
will
onely
depend
vppon
the
dam
,
and
thereby
bring
both
her
and
colte
to
pouerty
,
not
being
able
sufficiently
to
cherish
herselfe
,
&
so
both
become
weake
before
winter
be
past
,
besides
the
colte
wil
be
sauadge
and
wilde
,
so
as
if
any
disease
or
weakenes
come
vnto
it
,
the
same
remaineth
remedilesse
,
if
nature
cannot
ouercome
it
,
and
heerein
my
experience
telleth
vs
,
many
to
haue
perished
,
neither
is
it
able
or
apt
to
feed
vppon
any
food
but
the
mares
milke
,
to
keepe
it selfe
in
strength
,
and
thereby
also
the
dam
restrayned
and
kept
from
lust
of
generation
,
and
lastly
the
most
materiall
cause
of
all
others
,
namely
the
continuall
feeding
of
wet
&
colde
grasse
,
which
is
in
naturall
qualitie
exceeding
colde
and
moist
,
the
good
and
perfect
temperature
of
the
elements
in
the
coltes
,
wil
by
continuance
be
greatly
impaired
,
being
of
all
others
of
the
greatest
importance
:
againe
whereas
they
affirme
that
the
mare
in
may
is
most
fit
to
receiue
the
Horse
,
because
the
time
and
season
is
warm
&
she
much
colder
then
the
Horse
,
they
do
little
obserue
the
materiall
cause
of
generation
,
namely
the
coldnes
&
moistnes
of
seed
,
which
the
food
of
grasse
maketh
,
wherof
no
perfect
shape
can
ensue
,
onely
desiring
a
Colte
without
any
respect
of
goodnes
&
perfection
,
the
vnresistable
witnes
of
all
erronious
practise
in
breeding
.
Againe
,
if
the
mare
go
to
grasse
,
and
hath
a
colt
long
sucking
her
,
when
foode
and
lodging
is
full
of
penury
,
how
can
she
be
full
of
lust
to
bring
forth
a
perfect
strong
and
lusty
colte
:
&
althogh
thewinter
(
in
respect
of
winter
)
be
open
and
seasonable
,
and
the
mare
full
fed
with
grasse
,
can
any
man
doubt
,
but
that
notwithstanding
her
natural
desire
of
generation
wil
be
quenched
,
&
if
it
wer
admitted
that
she
hath
a
desire
therevnto
,
yet
can
the
same
be
in
such
perfection
as
ought
to
be
for
generation
?
Now
commeth
the
true
Chimist
who
turneth
euery
thing
into
siluer
,
that
breedeth
mony
to
the
third
generation
,
neither
hath
it
sooner
any
being
then
he
sets
it
to
beget
more
,
and
he
crieth
out
vppon
charges
,
and
yet
would
haue
his
Horse
cat
good
meat
,
but
on
his
neighbours
trencher
,
&
he
saith
that
breeding
colts
in
the
stable
is
very
chargeable
,
but
if
he
did
once
apprehend
,
that
in
that
charge
were
gain
,
then
were
eury
face
of
a
colt
a
new
Image
whome
he
would
adore
with
the
highest
veneration
:
if
it
should
be
granted
,
that
feeding
at
grasse
all
the

is
somewhat
cheaper
then

the

in

considered
together
with

which

inforceth
to
giue
vnto
them
in

the
great

of
the

yet
oftentimes
losse
of
all
,
notwithstanding
his

,
the

(
for
in
such
they
must
then
be
kept
)
by
their
deepe
treading
in
wet

(
they
must
acknowledge
)
if
the
Horse
and
Mare
be
of
good
worth
,
the
keeping
in
the

much
the
cheaper
,
in

of
their
seruice
to
their
King
and
country
,
&
the

of
the

it

knowing
the

that

because

certainely
there
are
so
many

so

in
the

of

,
that
no

can
possibly
see
it
without
affection
,
without
rauishment
,
and
the

of
her

so
monstrous
thorough
loathsome
custom
,
that
if
her

they
would
be
mad
with
disdaine

astonishment
,
what
need
you

these

,
this

saue
the

for
heerin

the

stripped
naked
to

see
now
whether
shall
finde
more

,
and
if
still
the

it

Of
a
perfect
Stable
.
FIrst
the
scituation
of
the
stable
would
be
on
a
most
drye
ground
,
if
it
may
be
,
so
as
at
all
seasons
of
the
yeare
,
both
man
and
Horse
may
come
and
returne
from
the
same
cleane
and
dry
,
also
it
would
be
builded
and
so
placed
,
as
there
may
be
a
continuall
currant
for
the
clensing
and
keeping
the
same
sweete
from
all
things
noysome
to
the
same
:
it
would
be
seeled
ouer
the
Horses
,
to
keep
both
Horse
,
racke
,
meat
and
manger
,
from
all
dust
,
it
may
not
haue
any
filthie
gutter
or
sincke
neere
,
in
,
or
vnder
the
same
,
neither
any
priuy
,
or
other
vnwholesome
fauour
of
hog-sties
,
hen-house
,
or
such
like
.
Some
auncient
writers
affirme
,
that
the
strong
sauour
or
ayre
of
a
priuy
will
make
a
Horse
blinde
:
the
Horse
is
naturally
a
proud
beast
,
and
delighteth
in
all
cleanesse
:
the
racke
would
be
set
high
and
sloping
,
for
dust
or
filth
anoying
the
Horse
eyes
or
maine
,
or
dangering
his
crest
,
by
crooked
or
wry
feeding
,
and
the
manger
deepe
and
strong
,
for
casting
prouender
out
of
it
with
the
Horse
nose
;
with
posts
and
partitions
,
as
you
may
see
in
all
well
ordered
stables
:
the
flore
would
be
paued
and
not
plancked
for
these
reasons
.
First
it
is
more
durable
and
lasting
,
and
lesse
charge
,
it
maketh
your
Horse
most
bold
vpon
stony
and
hard
grounds
,
by
continuall
standing
vpon
stones
,
it
is
the
most
excellent
thing
that
may
be
for
Colts-being
vnshooed
,
for
it
hardeneth
the
hooue
,
so
as
by
continuance
and
custome
,
they
will
be
as
bolde
on
the
stones
as
if
they
were
shoode
,
it
will
not
suffer
his
hooue
to
run
broad
,
and
the
continuance
thereof
maketh
the
same
very
tough
and
durable
,
and
will
much
longer
and
better
carry
a
shooe
:
the
pauement
would
be
eeuen
,
not
higher
before
,
where
the
fore-feet
stand
,
for
it
is
very
paineful
to
the
hinder-legges
,
so
as
the
Horse
vnlesse
necessitie
compell
him
,
wil
not
stand
straight
or
bolde
in
the
stable
:
and
doubt
not
of
coldenes
,
for
when
he
is
littered
at
night
,
he
lyeth
warme
enough
:
there
would
be
diuers
windowes
in
the
stable
,
the
which
would
be
so
placed
,
as
the
stable
may
thereby
be
cleered
with
the
ayre
,
or
close
shut
,
or
open
as
occasion
may
serue
,
in
the
night
time
,
especially
in
the
winter
:
and
when
Horse
haue
laboured
,
it
would
be
very
darke
,
aswell
for
warmthe
as
otherwise
for
the
Horse
to
take
their
sleepe
:
at
other
times
it
would
be
kept
somewhat
colde
,
for
thereby
the
Horse
will
feede
and
digest
the
better
,
neither
shall
the
Horse
be
made
too
tender
,
which
may
be
hurtfull
when
vpon
occasion
in
other
places
where
a
man
shall
trauaile
not
hauing
the
like
,
wherby
the
Horse
may
take
colde
:
all
poultry
,
and
foules
,
hogs
and
such
like
,
would
not
be
suffered
at
any
time
to
come
into
the
stable
,
there
would
not
be
any
dust
or
loame
walles
in
the
stable
or
place
,
about
or
neare
the
racke
or
manger
,
or
wherein
the
Horse
standeth
,
to
retaine
or
keepe
dust
,
for
the
Horse
naturally
will
licke
them
to
their
great
hurt
.
The
dung
must
not
by
any
meanes
lye
neare
the
stable
,
neither
any
thing
of
euill
sauour
.
Neere
to
the
stable
would
the
Groomes
of
the
stable
bee
lodged
,
to
be
ready
at
all
times
,
and
vpon
all
occasions
,
and
ioyning
to
their
lodging
wold
be
a
conuenient
room
with
a
presse
therein
to
set
all
their
Saddles
,
Bridles
,
Girthes
and
such
like
;
with
all
kinde
of
necessarie
instruments
,
to
mend
such
furniture
,
with
all
thinges
necessarie
for
shooing
,
letting
blood
,
and
such
like
,
and
all
medicinable
things
,
either
for
inward
disease
or
outward
hurt
.
There
would
be
also
to
the
stable
annexed
certain
sheds
or
roomes
to
lay
horse
litter
in
,
both
new
and
olde
,
for
that
it
is
moste
vnfit
for
the
litter
to
be
vnder
the
manger
,
as
commonlye
is
vsed
,
leaste
the
Horse
should
either
feede
on
it
,
or
be
offended
with
the
sauour
,
because
no
creatures
doe
better
or
more
delight
and
comfort
in
sweete
and
cleane
keeping
then
a
Horse
,
beeing
a
speciall
meanes
to
shew
himselfe
cheerefull
and
pleasant
,
besides
,
there
would
be
a
little
inclosed
roome
,
such
as
horses
after
their
labour
might
bee
put
into
,
to
wallowe
themselues
,
wherein
moste
horses
take
exceeding
delight
,
being
also
most
healthfull
for
them
so
to
doe
,
the
which
the
auncient
writers
affirme
,
doth
so
much
comfort
a
horse
,
as
if
they
bee
tyred
,
hauing
after
wallowed
himselfe
,
and
being
cleane
rubbed
,
will
trauell
presentlye
againe
with
courage
,
as
if
it
had
not
bene
.
Moreouer
,
aboue
all
things
,
there
would
be
also
places
or
sheds
for
the
horses
to
bee
clensed
,
curryed
and
trymmed
in
,
and
not
in
the
stable
&
place
,
where
they
lye
stand
&
feed
in
respect
of
the
dust
,
loose
haire
,
and
filth
that
commeth
from
them
,
so
as
the
place
in
the
stable
where
he
standeth
might
and
ought
to
be
made
most
sweete
and
cleane
,
with
Racke
,
manger
and
the
place
of
his
standing
,
being
comely
,
healthfull
,
and
profitable
to
the
owner
,
for
the
preseruation
of
his
horse
,
the
great
fault
and
neglect
whereof
is
vnexcusable
,
and
of
all
good
horsemen
to
be
respected
and
amended
:
Neither
would
I
haue
any
horse
,
hauing
the
Glaunders
,
or
any
other
sicknesse
,
hurt
or
disease
,
to
remaine
in
the
stable
at
such
time
,
but
kept
in
a
shed
for
that
present
time
from
all
other
horses
,
by
which
meanes
,
&
all
other
good
dyet
,
which
heereafter
I
purpose
to
expresse
,
there
cannot
be
any
doubt
of
health
&
long
life
to
the
horses
,
the
contrarie
wherof
hath
discomforted
a
number
of
worthy
Gentlemen
from
keeping
of
horses
of
value
and
worth
,
and
content
themselues
with
Iades
.
Thus
hauing
verie
shortly
described
the
Stable
,
it
next
followeth
to
speake
of
making
the
Colts
to
amble
without
any
handling
of
them
,
wherin
also
I
purpose
to
be
short
,
because
there
are
ther
of
many
practises
.
CHAP.
47.
Of
making
Colts
to
amble
from
the
time
of
their
foaling
.
FIrst
vnderstand
,
that
euery
Colte
when
it
is
foaled
and
remaineth
tender
of
his
hooues
,
hath
no
other
traine
or
pace
how
slow
soeuer
it
be
,
but
the
same
is
an
amble
,
&
by
obseruing
his
treading
,
is
apparant
to
the
eyes
of
all
that
do
or
will
beholde
it
:
and
because
the
same
shall
not
be
enforced
to
any
faster
pace
then
only
to
go
,
keep
the
colt
with
the
dam
in
the
stable
,
and
the
next
day
after
the
same
is
foaled
,
put
on
a
halter
,
bridle
,
or
snaffle
,
at
your
pleasure
on
the
Mares
head
:
in
the
morning
earely
lead
her
foorth
,
let
the
Colte
followe
her
so
gently
and
soft
a
pace
as
she
can
go
,
into
some
eeuen
,
plain
,
and
hard
ground
,
and
be
sure
that
the
Colte
be
not
enforced
to
goe
faster
then
you
lead
the
Mare
,
and
then
obserue
and
you
shall
finde
the
Colte
going
by
her
,
that
he
doth
altogether
go
and
traine
his
legges
in
an
amble
.
thus
continue
leading
the
Mare
in
so
soft
and
slow
a
going
,
about
halfe
an
houre
,
and
the
Colte
of
himselfe
will
not
goe
faster
then
his
dam
,
by
which
meanes
all
his
pace
wil
be
an
amble
:
then
haue
them
into
the
stable
againe
,
and
suffer
not
the
Colte
to
come
from
his
dam
,
after
about
12.
of
the
clocke
lead
the
Mare
and
Colte
foorth
againe
,
going
that
pace
and
no
other
then
you
did
,
for
halfe
an
houre
more
,
all
which
time
obserue
,
and
you
shall
see
the
Colte
tread
an
amble
,
then
pace
them
into
the
stable
againe
,
and
keepe
the
Colte
from
going
abroad
,
and
then
after
about
6.
of
the
clocke
at
night
,
haue
the
Mare
and
Colte
abroad
againe
,
leading
the
Mare
as
aforesaide
,
and
after
haue
them
both
into
the
stable
againe
,
and
beware
that
you
neuer
goe
faster
with
the
Mare
then
that
the
Colt
treadeth
an
amble
.
And
thus
continue
euery
day
with
the
Mare
&
Colt
for
10.
dayes
,
and
as
the
Colte
increaseth
in
swiftnes
of
pace
in
his
amble
,
so
increase
the
pace
of
the
Mare
,
and
he
will
amble
most
swiftly
and
perfectly
:
if
you
begin
in
that
slowe
manner
aforesaid
,
and
neuer
enforce
him
to
goe
faster
,
vse
will
bring
him
vnto
all
perfection
:
And
thus
you
may
make
any
Horse
to
amble
most
perfectly
without
any
other
practise
.

and
more
substantiall
,
then
anye
part
of
the
shooe
,
to
cause
the
ioynt
to
stand
vpright
,
and
so
wide
in
the
quarters
,
as
both
sides
may
disbord
the
Coffin
of
the
hoofe
the
bredth
of
a
strawe
,
to
garde
and
saue
the
Coffin
of
the
hooue
,
beeing
the
onelye
strength
of
the
whole
foote
,
and
also
the
shooe
so
farre
sette
backe
to
garde
the
heeles
,
as
may
saue
the
same
from
brusing
and
cutting
with
Stones
,
and
vnlesse
the
Coffin
bee
continuallye
so
kept
open
from
hard
oppressing
and
inclosing
the
Tuell
of
the
foote
,
which
is
inclosed
within
the
Coffin
,
whereby
the
Tuell
becommeth
bound
and
imprysoned
to
the
great
greefe
and
lamenesse
of
the
horse
,
but
the
foote
and
ioynt
of
the
horse
maintained
as
a
principall
poste
to
support
the
whole
building
,
for
otherwise
the
horse
will
become
hooue-bound
,
which
many
ignorantly
call
dry
foundred
,
&
also
make
the
ioint
become
weake
,
lame
,
and
full
of
windegalles
.
And
therefore
when
you
come
to
the
peircing
of
the
shoe
of
the
forefoot
,
spare
not
to
peirce
it
from
the
quarter
to
the
hard
toe
,
but
not
backeward
to
the
heele
,
&
let
the
shooe
be
so
peirced
,
as
the
holes
bee
much
wider
on
the
out
side
of
the
shoe
then
within
,
for
the
holes
of
the
inside
of
the
shooe
would
bee
no
wider
then
the
Shanke
of
the
nayle
may
well
fill
,
otherwise
the
shooe
will
neuer
sitte
fast
and
steddy
,
and
the
circle
of
the
peircing
more
distant
from
the
edge
of
the
toe
,
then
from
the
edge
of
the
quarter
,
because
euerie
Smith
knoweth
there
is
more
hold
to
bee
taken
with
lesse
danger
,
in
respect
of
the
tuel
&
quick
of
the
foote
,
and
all
the
nailes
would
be
vntoled
without
shoulders
,
which
will
so
sinke
,
and
strongly
fill
the
hole
,
as
the
shooe
wil
sit
most
strong
,
then
driue
the
nailes
eeuen
,
leauing
as
little
clime
as
may
be
possible
,
&
by
cutting
the
hoofe
a
little
with
the
point
of
a
knife
,
let
the
clinch
be
cleane
hid
,
the
which
shooing
would
alwaies
bee
done
,
eight
or
ten
daies
before
you
trauell
your
horse
,
for
by
that
time
the
hoofe
will
be
growne
to
the
nailes
,
to
holde
the
shooe
fast
.
And
for
helping
of
enterfeting
,
you
must
keepe
him
full
of
flesh
,
and
alwaies
preserue
the
Coffins
on
the
inside
of
the
hoofes
,
without
paring
away
more
then
to
make
them
eeuen
for
the
shoes
,
and
abate
the
outside
of
the
coffin
of
the
same
foot
,
&
besides
,
make
the
spunges
of
the
shooes
of
the
inside
of
the
shooes
much
more
thicker
then
the
outside
.
Now
hauing
giuen
a
perfect
direction
for
shooing
of
hooues
fit
for
vse
and
trauell
,
I
purpose
not
to
spend
time
in
directing
how
to
shooe
vnperfect
hooues
,
namelie
broad
,
flat
,
fleshy
,
pomish
and
club
hooues
,
and
such
like
,
all
which
if
they
be
natural
are
onely
incident
to
Iades
,
not
fit
for
the
vse
of
man
,
wherein
if
I
might
preuaile
,
none
of
them
should
be
suffered
to
beget
or
bring
foorth
colts
,
because
it
is
vnpossible
for
art●
to
make
perfect
with
continuance
,
what
nature
hath
made
and
brought
foorth
vnperfect
.
It
now
resteth
to
shew
,
how
to
tame
colts
before
they
come
to
the
ryder
,
for
it
is
not
a
proper
attribute
to
a
famous
and
skilfull
ryder
to
be
a
tamer
of
coltes
,
no
more
then
a
great
learned
phisitian
,
to
be
both
Apothecary
and
phisition
.
CHAP.
49.
Of
taming
of
coltes
.
ALthough
I
haue
formerly
shewed
that
the
yearely
wintering
of
coltes
in
the
stable
,
will
make
them
most
tame
and
domesticall
,
as
also
bring
many
other
benefits
both
to
the
owner
and
to
the
colts
,
vntil
they
come
to
be
ridden
,
which
would
not
be
before
fiue
yeres
of
age
,
if
you
would
haue
strong
,
sound
,
and
durable
coltes
,
which
all
men
desire
:
and
although
they
are
more
then
halfe
tamed
thereby
,
yet
many
things
remaine
vndone
,
which
must
onely
be
directed
by
knowledge
and
practise
.
Now
when
the
Colt
is
made
gentle
to
suffer
saddle
and
crupper
to
be
set
on
his
backe
,
shooes
on
his
feet
,
and
also
led
to
water
,
and
walked
in
the
hand
,
in
all
gentlenes
,
then
take
another
gentle
Horse
,
and
saddle
him
and
the
Colte
also
,
and
ride
vppon
the
olde
Horse
,
leading
the
Colte
in
a
halter
,
let
the
saddle
of
the
Colte
be
crosse
girded
,
because
the
same
is
a
sure
way
to
keepe
the
saddle
in
his
due
place
,
and
the
rider
from
casting
,
for
if
you
doe
not
crosse
gird
the
saddle
,
when
the
Horse
is
emptie
,
the
saddle
and
girthes
wil
be
loose
,
and
if
any
striuing
should
be
with
the
Horse
when
he
is
full
(
if
the
girthes
be
not
crosse
)
by
striuing
to
try
his
strength
,
the
thrusting
out
of
the
wind
of
his
belly
,
will
make
either
girth
or
strapp
to
breake
,
whereby
if
he
should
haue
aduantage
,
he
will
euer
after
vpon
like
occasion
make
like
aduenture
,
which
may
turne
to
the
spoyle
of
Horse
and
man
,
and
beside
the
girding
of
a
Horse
ouer
the
belly
,
when
he
is
full
,
may
breede
paine
or
cholicke
in
his
guts
,
and
other
such
like
infirmities
.
Thus
done
ride
foorth
a
mile
or
two
,
leading
the
Colte
in
your
hand
,
and
so
come
home
againe
,
in
all
gentle
and
louing
manner
,
but
neuer
goe
out
and
come
home
one
way
certaine
,
neither
vsually
alight
at
one
place
,
for
feare
of
any
euill
habit
to
settle
in
him
through
custome
,
wherein
if
you
finde
him
without
resistance
to
follow
and
to
leade
,
sometime
alight
from
your
Horse
,
when
you
are
abroad
,
and
giue
the
colte
a
peece
of
bread
,
grasse
or
such
like
,
and
stand
stil
with
him
,
making
much
of
him
,
then
mount
vpon
the
olde
horse
againe
,
and
after
you
haue
ridden
halfe
a
mile
or
such
like
,
alight
&
giue
him
the
like
reward
,
still
vsing
him
in
all
loue
,
&
when
you
come
home
againe
,
reward
the
colt
as
before
,
and
then
haue
him
into
the
Stable
,
letting
him
stand
an
houre
or
two
without
meat
,
and
then
come
to
him
and
reward
him
,
and
giue
him
some
good
prouender
,
by
which
vsage
the
Colt
will
loue
you
,
and
desire
your
company
,
and
when
you
haue
seuerall
times
thus
vsed
him
,
giue
him
to
eat
such
meat
as
I
haue
prescribed
in
the
title
of
cures
,
to
cause
him
to
followe
you
wheresoeuer
you
goe
,
although
hee
be
loose
.
And
oftentimes
when
you
are
in
the
stable
with
him
,
cause
some
drum
,
gunne
,
musicke
,
or
such
like
to
come
into
the
stable
,
and
to
play
or
shoote
,
or
some
extraordinarie
noise
or
feare
,
at
which
time
,
do
you
stand
by
him
,
comfort
and
cherish
him
so
much
as
you
may
,
whereby
he
may
bee
assured
of
your
comfort
and
loue
.
And
if
you
find
that
after
8.
or
10.
daies
vsage
,
he
becommeth
verie
conformable
vnto
you
,
ride
him
still
abroad
with
another
horse
,
laying
a
cloake-bagge
or
some
heauie
burden
in
the
saddle
,
and
so
let
him
cary
it
seuerall
daies
,
vntill
you
see
him
as
gentle
as
an
olde
Horse
,
but
take
heede
you
doe
not
distemper
or
vexe
him
in
anye
thing
,
till
hee
knowe
good
from
euill
,
but
euer
feede
him
and
reward
him
to
gaine
his
loue
,
neither
let
him
weare
any
bytt
or
snaffle
,
but
onely
a
Halter
,
thus
dooing
you
shall
bee
sure
to
haue
him
obedeient
vnto
you
in
all
things
,
without
resistance
or
hurt
to
himselfe
,
then
commit
him
to
a
discreet
and
temperate
rider
,
that
hath
knowledge
and
practise
answerable
to
his
profession
,
and
he
will
attaine
perfection
with
great
excellencie
and
pleasure
,
and
preserue
his
bodie
in
health
from
surfeits
,
and
all
his
limmes
from
strayne
or
hurt
,
which
is
a
most
speciall
meanes
to
haue
your
Horse
most
louing
and
tractable
to
man
,
and
of
long
health
,
life
,
and
continuance
,
to
your
great
contentment
:
and
beware
of
Horse
coursers
taming
,
if
you
loue
your
Horse
,
vnlesse
they
be
of
great
and
approoued
temperance
,
the
mother
of
all
vertue
.
CHAP.

Of
ryding
.
BEfore
I
enter
into
the
vnfolding
of
the
parts
of
this
arte
,
I
thinke
fit
first
to
shew
the
naturall
instinct
and
temperature
that
ought
to
be
in
euery
perfect
ryder
,
the
onely
motiue
&
true
disposer
of
his
desire
,
namely
the
reiecting
feare
of
perrill
,
and
force
of
paine
,
the
true
properties
of
his
fortitude
to
guide
his
noble
nature
,
thorough
hard
and
difficult
things
,
to
the
attaining
of
the
end
of
his
iust
desire
,
because
the
perfection
of
euery
worke
consisteth
in
this
,
that
it
be
done
by
a
staide
and
constant
reason
,
for
thereby
shall
he
vndertake
without
rashnes
,
and
performe
without
feare
,
so
as
he
shal
not
in
any
thing
shrinck
or
yeelde
vnto
perturbations
or
any
other
humane
accident
whatsoeuer
.
For
though
he
looke
like
death
in
the
face
,
he
will
passe
by
with
a
smile
,
Minus
timori●
minus
periculi
,
audaciam
pro
muro
esse
,
essugere
mortem
,
qui
eam
contemait
.
and
rather
haue
his
blood
seene
then
his
backe
,
which
being
well
imprinted
in
his
minde
,
pricketh
him
forward
to
enterprise
and
performe
those
things
,
that
are
most
excellent
,
difficult
,
and
fullest
of
laboures
and
perrils
:
for
as
Aristotle
affirmeth
:
Whosoeuer
wil
be
valiant
,
must
be
free
from
all
feare
of
death
,
constant
in
aduersities
,
voide
of
feare
in
perrils
,
choosing
rather
to
dye
valiantly
,
then
to
saue
himselfe
cowardly
,
and
so
ballanced
,
he
floats
stedfastly
in
the
midst
of
all
tempests
,
because
his
constant
reason
and
temperature
(
the
eyes
of
his
valour
)
refine
both
iudgement
&
will
,
from
those
grosse
faults
and
errors
,
wherein
if
nature
were
his
onely
guide
,
he
wold
fal
into
,
the
want
wherof
is
to
be
holden
a
iust
exception
in
a
professed
Ryder
,
Nam
nisi
summum
praestes
artificem
,
ridiculas
sis
,
et
aut
laudem
eximiam
aut
risum
auferras
oportet
:
And
because
euery
rider
is
a
creature
reasonable
,
so
ought
he
to
be
able
to
yeeld
a
reason
of
his
dooing
,
for
that
hee
onely
teacheth
by
reason
,
an
inherent
pecular
propertie
to
man
,
and
yet
it
can
not
be
truly
saide
,
that
euery
reasonable
man
is
a
perfect
Rider
,
because
euery
man
hath
not
attained
the
reason
of
the
art
,
and
therefore
vnable
to
teach
,
Nam
quod
nemo
didicit
,
nemo
decere
potest
,
For
no
man
can
teach
that
hee
hath
not
learned
,
neither
can
the
true
order
and
vse
of
any
arte
be
vnderstood
,
wherein
euery
perfecte
Rider
ought
to
staye
and
followe
,
otherwise
contrary
effectes
will
euermore
ensite
:
for
amendment
whereof
(
presuming
himselfe
a
Ryder
)
proceedeth
from
one
violence
to
another
,
and
thereby
the
Horse
being
a
creature
sencible
is
become
a
creature
sencelesse
,
for
as
continuall
correction
is
violence
,
so
all
violence
taketh
away
pleasure
:
but
if
correction
be
to
remedie
a
fault
,
and
ease
griefe
,
therein
is
Arte
and
reason
,
and
the
effect
pleasure
,
so
as
it
is
euident
,
that
when
the
Ryder
is
not
endowed
with
valour
,
true
knowledge
of
the
Arte
,
Neglectis
v●enda
filix
inuascitur
agri●
temperature
and
practise
,
then
are
the
fruites
of
Nature
such
,
as
Grounde
bringeth
foorth
without
mannuring
.
And
therefore
the
Errors
and
Faults
of
this
Arte
in
a
man
of
good
constellation
and
temperature
proceede
onelye
from
want
of
true
knowledge
and
practise
.
For
as
a
good
player
on
a
Lute
or
Violl
,
toucheth
no
other
stringes
then
those
that
are
touched
by
him
that
is
moste
vnskilfull
,
yet
because
the
good
player
is
enformed
with
knowledge
and
practise
,
hee
knoweth
what
Stringes
make
that
sound
,
which
the
care
iudgeth
by
the
harmonie
and
agreement
of
sound
to
bee
delectable
,
so
as
thereby
he
is
truly
taken
for
his
crafts-maister
.
Euen
so
,
he
that
will
be
a
good
Horseman
and
perfect
Rider
,
must
not
onely
haue
naturall
gifts
of
true
valoure
,
wisedome
and
temperance
,
but
also
true
knowledge
and
practise
to
attaine
perfection
.
And
although
it
must
bee
confessed
that
euerye
good
beginninge
commeth
vnto
vs
by
Nature
,
yet
the
progresse
and
growth
therein
commeth
vnto
vs
by
precepts
of
reason
,
and
the
accomplishment
by
knowledge
and
practise
:
for
nature
without
knowledge
is
blinde
,
knowledge
without
nature
wanteth
,
&
practise
without
the
two
former
,
vnperfect
:
Heereof
it
commeth
,
that
vnlesse
Nature
,
Arte
,
and
practise
bee
conioyned
,
it
will
bee
vnpossible
to
become
a
good
Ryder
,
or
bee
able
to
knowe
,
howe
,
and
when
to
helpe
his
Horse
,
how
or
when
to
correct
his
Horse
,
neither
how
or
when
to
cherish
his
Horse
,
the
onelye
and
principall
thinges
required
in
a
perfect
Ryder
,
And
yet
if
the
Ryder
that
is
inritched
with
Nature
,
Art
and
practise
,
shall
bestowe
all
his
labour
and
skill
vppon
a
Royle
or
Iade
,
and
thinke
thorough
his
excelling
knowledge
and
practise
to
make
perfect
his
naturall
imperfections
:
let
him
assure
himselfe
,
that
hee
shall
oleum
&
operam
perdere
,
lose
all
labour
and
paines
bestowed
vppon
him
,
because
Arte
and
practise
shall
neuer
attaine
perfection
vppon
that
subiect
wherein
Nature
is
vnperfect
,
no
more
then
Arte
can
assure
it selfe
to
make
strong
Gables
of
the
purest
Sande
:
for
although
euerie
Horse
bee
a
Creature
sensible
,
mooued
by
sence
and
feeling
,
as
thinges
propper
to
Nature
,
and
taketh
his
instruction
by
speech
,
as
man
instructeth
man
,
which
is
either
by
cherishing
him
when
hee
doth
wel
,
or
by
punishing
him
when
he
resisteth
,
yet
neuerthelesse
,
when
a
Iade
beginneth
to
bee
taught
,
and
proceede
with
a
continuall
perseuerance
therein
,
yet
shall
hee
neuer
attaine
the
perfection
of
action
,
because
all
arte
must
imitate
the
natures
of
the
Horse
,
which
to
content
and
please
,
is
the
ende
of
the
whole
Arte
,
but
where
contrarie
natures
are
,
there
,
of
necessitie
must
be
contrarie
working
,
&
then
must
needes
ensue
contrarie
effectes
,
for
euerie
creature
worketh
according
to
his
nature
:
for
amendment
whereof
the
ignorant
&
pretended
Rider
proceedeth
to
violence
,
which
nature
abhorreth
,
as
Arte
doth
error
and
reason
vnruely
passion
,
whereby
the
horse
is
mooued
to
perturbation
,
and
then
his
riding
becommeth
greeuous
and
painefull
,
so
as
hee
knoweth
not
what
to
do
,
no
more
then
an
vntoward
scholler
by
whipping
to
say
his
lesson
delightful
,
and
were
it
granted
that
the
horse
were
of
a
good
disposition
to
yeeld
all
obedience
to
the
most
skilfull
Rider
,
yet
shall
he
neuer
attaine
to
any
perfection
of
action
,
because
nature
hath
not
shaped
nor
giuen
him
aptnesse
fit
for
such
purpose
,
no
more
then
a
natural
foole
can
by
education
attaine
to
true
wisdome
.
And
yet
verie
few
Riders
neither
haue
or
doe
truely
iudge
hereof
,
for
that
no
one
thing
is
more
manifest
in
all
their
writings
and
actions
,
then
prouisions
and
meanes
to
help
to
make
perfect
that
which
is
most
vnperfect
by
nature
,
as
though
they
had
neuer
learned
,
that
Art
can
neuer
ouercome
the
necessitie
of
nature
,
wherefore
I
doe
wish
all
such
as
desire
to
bee
Riders
,
let
them
first
examine
their
owne
naturall
dispositions
.
Secondly
,
to
learne
to
knowe
true
and
perfect
shape
of
Horses
;
Thirdly
,
the
naturall
causes
of
their
goodnesse
and
badnesse
.
Fourthly
,
to
bee
taught
by
an
vnderstanding
Maister
,
and
not
to
beginne
without
his
direction
.
Fiftly
to
practise
,
and
euermore
examine
the
reason
of
thy
practise
,
then
shalt
thou
see
what
a
hand-maide
,
all
Arte
is
to
nature
in
beholding
the
actions
of
the
perfect
shaped
Horse
to
bee
easie
,
readye
and
perfect
according
to
his
perfection
of
nature
,
as
true
qualities
bred
and
brought
forth
by
nature
,
not
by
correction
,
but
by
all
mildenes
and
gentlenes
voluntarily
performed
,
the
which
all
true
and
perfect
Ryders
will
and
ought
altogether
cherish
,
seeing
all
the
Horses
dooing
in
that
beautiful
form
,
that
himself
doth
expresse
when
he
desireth
to
appeare
most
beautifull
,
so
that
hee
doth
appeare
to
the
beholder
both
noble
,
terrible
,
and
beautiful
,
being
iust
in
his
pase
,
iust
in
his
trot
,
iust
in
his
gallop
,
iust
in
his
carriere
,
iust
in
his
stop
:
iust
in
his
manage
:
iust
in
his
bounding
:
iust
in
his
head
:
iust
when
he
standeth
still
:
iust
in
vnion
with
the
wil
of
the
rider
,
&
his
head
&
neck
wil
be
so
iust
,
&
of
such
staidenes
,
&
the
mouth
of
so
sweet
&
perfect
stay
,
as
it
wil
seem
nature
&
straineth
to
set
forth
her
own
glory
:
al
which
natural
,
&
not
accidental
in
a
perfect
&
true
shaped
horse
,
as
therby
is
brought
to
a
sound
conclusion
&
ground
by
sweet
&
gentle
meanes
,
without
force
or
violence
,
wherein
all
artes
haue
their
beginning
,
proceedings
and
perfecting
,
howsoeuer
the
brainelesse
and
ignorant
Ryder
(
whose
anger
fore-seeth
nothing
)
pretendeth
the
contrarie
.
It
resteth
now
to
speake
of
those
thinges
which
moste
principally
are
required
by
the
Art
for
the
true
performance
of
such
actions
,
as
Art
,
requireth
either
for
helpes
,
corrections
,
or
cherishings
,
for
reducing
the
Horse
to
perfection
of
action
,
fit
for
the
vse
of
man
.
For
he
which
knoweth
truly
how
to
ayde
,
to
correct
,
and
cherish
a
Horse
in
his
due
time
,
is
,
and
so
ought
to
be
accounted
the
most
grounded
in
this
arte
;
the
which
cannot
be
in
small
time
either
attained
or
performed
,
and
therefore
for
the
true
attaining
thereof
,
I
would
wishe
that
at
the
first
,
none
should
vndertake
the
same
but
by
the
direction
of
a
good
schoolemaister
,
least
it
be
saide
vnto
him
,
as
Timotheus
the
best
player
of
the
Flute
of
his
time
,
who
when
he
tooke
a
scholler
vsed
to
demaund
of
him
,
whether
he
had
made
any
entrance
into
that
play
?
which
if
he
had
,
he
tooke
a
greater
reward
by
halfe
,
then
he
did
of
them
that
knewe
nothing
,
saying
that
his
paines
were
greater
in
taking
away
from
his
scholler
that
which
was
naught
&
vnskilful
,
then
in
teaching
that
which
was
good
,
to
such
as
vnderstood
nothing
at
all
thereof
:
whereunto
Aristotle
wel
agreed
,
when
he
said
that
he
which
dooth
any
thing
at
all
aduenture
,
not
considering
how
well
he
dooth
,
ought
not
to
be
called
vertuous
,
but
he
onely
that
putteth
in
execution
,
after
knowledge
,
consultation
,
and
election
.
The
things
that
are
principally
to
be
vsed
,
for
helpes
,
corrections
,
and
cherishings
,
I
think
may
be
well
contayned
in
these
three
:
viz.
the
voyce
,
the
hand
,
and
the
legge
:
because
the
voyce
by
words
of
art
helpeth
,
and
with
milde
,
meeke
and
gentle
words
cherisheth
,
but
by
tanting
words
terrifieth
&
correcteth
.
The
hand
(
beeing
the
instrument
of
instruments
)
vpon
the
true
vse
whereof
the
ground
of
the
art
resteth
,
by
the
temperate
and
sweet
stay
therof
,
it
helpeth
:
and
by
clawing
or
gently
patting
the
Horse
,
it
cherisheth
,
and
by
striking
correcteth
:
Againe
,
the
hand
by
the
stroke
,
ierke
or
sound
of
a
wand
or
rod
,
it
often
helpeth
by
vsing
it
mildely
and
gently
,
or
clawing
or
scratching
him
therewith
it
cherisheth
,
and
by
striking
hard
correcteth
.
Againe
,
the
hand
with
a
bridle
in
slacking
it
cherrisheth
,
and
by
drawing
it
correcteth
,
and
by
the
guiding
thereof
it
gouerneth
the
Horse
as
a
sterne
dooth
the
Ship
,
which
in
all
motions
and
actions
answereth
to
that
motion
which
the
hand
mooueth
.
The
leg
when
it
gently
prouoketh
with
the
calfe
,
helpeth
;
when
it
hardly
striketh
correcteth
:
the
spurre
also
by
gentle
meanes
helpeth
,
and
by
hard
stroakes
correcteth
;
so
as
to
bring
a
Horse
to
true
obedience
and
perfection
of
action
,
he
is
to
be
helped
,
corrected
,
and
cherished
:
he
is
to
be
helped
to
the
end
he
should
not
erre
,
and
therein
is
great
knowledge
required
:
he
is
to
be
corrected
,
for
his
erres
and
faults
committed
;
wherin
is
knowledge
,
fortitude
,
and
temperance
to
be
vsed
:
he
is
to
be
cherished
for
his
well
dooing
,
wherein
is
both
knowledge
and
reason
required
,
whereby
appeareth
how
euery
good
rider
ought
to
be
qualified
.
Of
which
,
namely
of
the
voyce
,
the
hand
and
the
leg
,
before
I
come
to
speake
of
the
action
,
wherein
the
true
vnderstanding
heereof
is
most
proper
,
I
purpose
to
giue
a
little
further
introduction
:
and
first
of
the
voice
.
When
you
minde
to
helpe
your
Horse
therewith
,
it
must
be
with
most
milde
&
cheareful
voice
,
as
to
say
,
hey
hey
:
hola
,
hola
so
boy
so
,
hup
,
hup
,
enough
,
enough
,
no
more
:
&
many
such
like
:
but
a
correction
is
all
contrarie
which
is
with
a
terrible
or
thundering
voice
,
as
villaine
,
Traytor
,
and
many
such
like
,
and
in
cherishing
the
moste
milde
and
sweete
voice
is
vsed
,
as
my
good
boy
,
so
my
good
boy
,
with
an
inclination
of
bending
your
body
to
him
,
and
such
like
,
so
as
also
the
sound
of
the
voice
is
to
be
vsed
,
as
wel
as
a
voice
pronounced
,
by
giuing
a
chirke
with
the
tongue
,
which
may
be
called
clacking
,
in
pronouncing
wherof
the
tippe
of
the
tongue
striketh
the
roofe
of
the
mouth
,
as
it
doth
in
making
the
supposed
sound
drawing
neere
the
greeke
word
Clognus
,
and
so
also
there
is
another
sound
of
the
voice
,
as
hah
hah
:
The
next
,
is
the
hand
,
which
as
I
saide
is
the
instrument
of
instruments
,
in
the
true
vse
and
gouernment
whereof
is
the
ground
of
the
whole
Art
,
and
as
for
the
bridle
and
the
Rodd
,
they
are
but
deade
and
senselesse
instruments
,
without
all
vse
,
when
they
are
not
appointed
for
that
vse
,
and
the
temperate
and
firme
hand-bearing
vppon
a
firme
and
sweete
stay
,
neither
too
much
slacking
nor
to
much
drawing
in
euery
good
horse
,
causeth
a
true
and
iust
raine
,
a
iust
bearing
,
a
iust
staidenesse
,
with
a
light
and
sweete
mouth
in
all
actions
:
so
as
,
whatsoeuer
the
horse
doth
,
is
both
easie
,
ready
&
perfect
,
and
being
done
by
delight
,
must
of
necessity
be
best
done
,
because
it
best
pleaseth
both
man
and
horse
,
neither
of
them
being
moued
to
perturbation
greef
or
pain
,
&
as
for
the
rod
&
wand
being
instrument
onely
for
the
hand
,
how
or
when
it
is
to
bee
borne
,
offered
,
vsed
or
not
vsed
,
I
thinke
fittest
to
referre
the
same
to
the
proper
place
hereafter
sette
foorth
,
and
for
the
Bridle
which
the
Italians
properly
call
Il
manico
del
timone
,
the
handle
of
the
sterne
,
because
the
Bridle
go
uerneth
the
Horse
,
as
the
Sterne
dooth
the
ship
requiring
reason
and
discourse
therein
,
I
thinke
also
fit
to
referre
to
his
proper
place
,
where
the
horses
lessons
shall
be
taught
.
The
third
thing
is
the
legges
,
wherein
the
vse
of
the
calfes
of
the
legge
,
the
heeles
,
the
stirrop
,
and
the
spurre
are
to
be
handled
,
I
referre
also
to
his
proper
place
,
whereby
I
would
auoide
all
teadiousnesse
and
disorder
both
for
the
easier
attaining
of
vnderstanding
and
the
sure-keeping
thereof
in
memorie
,
for
the
blindnesse
of
mans
wit
through
the
disobedience
of
our
first
parents
is
such
,
as
not
hauing
a
certain
prescript
to
followe
,
presently
runneth
into
error
,
the
which
whosoeuer
doth
not
knowe
,
hee
knoweth
nothing
,
and
is
ignorant
of
himselfe
,
dispising
al
diuine
and
humane
witnesses
,
and
the
example
of
all
ages
;
&
therefore
I
haue
onely
deuided
the
same
into
certain
prescript
generall
groundes
or
rules
to
followe
,
whereof
the
Ryder
shall
haue
dayly
vse
in
the
teaching
of
the
whole
art
to
his
horse
and
schollers
.
First
when
the
Ryder
beginneth
to
teach
a
young
horse
,
or
a
young
Scholler
,
let
him
follow
the
order
of
a
discreete
Schoole-maister
,
that
teacheth
Children
to
write
,
who
at
the
first
intreateth
and
entertaineth
the
Scholler
into
his
schoole
in
all
louing
speeches
&
gentle
vsage
,
assuring
him
,
that
in
his
schoole
is
nothing
but
pastime
,
pleasure
,
and
delight
;
and
so
winning
and
calling
him
vnto
him
,
causeth
the
schol
let
to
take
pen
,
paper
and
inke
,
and
in
a
moste
milde
and
gentle
manner
sheweth
him
how
to
carrie
his
arme
and
hand
,
and
holde
his
P●●
,
and
then
how
to
make
the
first
letter
,
the
which
when
the
Scholler
attempteth
,
although
it
be
verie
bad
don
,
yet
in
respect
of
the
infancye
of
his
knowledge
and
willing
minde
to
perform
,
is
not
onely
to
be
commended
,
but
rewarded
of
his
maister
,
wherby
the
scholler
is
so
farre
encouraged
and
imboldened
,
as
hee
seemeth
ouer
ioyed
and
still
desireth
and
laboureth
to
goe
on
to
be
taught
,
and
to
ma●e
manye
letters
,
but
the
discreete
vnderstanding
schoole-maister
verie
mildelye
and
comfortablie
restraineth
his
desire
,
to
write
otherwise
or
more
then
he
knoweth
fit
,
vntil
he
haue
made
the
first
letter
moste
perfect
,
in
all
which
time
the
Maister
will
not
suffer
his
Scholler
to
vse
his
owne
way
,
or
to
write
fast
,
alwaies
directing
him
,
vntil
he
haue
made
the
first
letter
moste
perfect
,
and
so
teacheth
him
from
one
lesson
vnto
another
,
vntil
he
can
do
euerie
one
in
perfection
,
and
then
afterwards
in
a
gentle
&
slow
maner
teacheth
him
how
to
ioine
those
letters
in
all
perfection
,
and
still
keepeth
the
Scholler
in
the
continuall
vse
and
practise
of
perfection
,
so
as
oftentimes
the
Scholler
through
his
aptnesse
of
nature
,
ioyned
with
the
apprehensiue
loue
of
his
discreete
and
louing
Maister
,
commeth
oftentimes
to
greater
perfection
then
his
teacher
,
both
in
faire
and
swift
writing
:
euen
so
would
young
Schollers
in
Riding
,
and
yong
Horses
in
their
beginning
be
taught
,
whereby
all
their
actions
might
bring
delight
&
admiration
to
the
beholder
.
For
by
milde
teaching
,
slow
teaching
,
not
weried
with
long
teaching
at
one
time
,
but
giuing
often
breath
,
high
keeping
in
courage
,
often
rewarding
,
great
familiaritie
,
no
change
of
ryder
til
he
be
perfect
,
no
change
of
bitt
,
no
rough
bitt
,
no
cutting
or
galling
nose
or
mouth
,
but
gentle
feeling
,
no
beating
nor
whipping
,
no
violence
nor
passion
,
but
with
all
ymitation
of
natures
delight
,
maketh
all
the
Horses
actions
more
then
wonderful
,
because
Nature
hath
a
naturall
loue
to
it selfe
,
and
an
innated
hatred
of
all
things
that
be
enemies
vnto
the
same
,
which
is
plainely
testified
by
that
naturall
Sympathy
and
Antipathie
,
which
may
be
obserued
in
all
creatures
,
as
the
Lambe
which
neuer
had
experience
of
the
Wolues
crueltie
,
yet
at
the
first
sight
of
him
doth
tremble
and
flie
for
feare
.

Correction
.
SEcondly
,
that
the
Rider
neuer
correct
his
horse
,
but
when
gentle
meanes
and
cherrishing
will
not
preuaile
,
for
no
doubt
hee
will
willingly
yeeld
by
gentle
meanes
,
if
it
bee
made
sensible
vnto
him
,
what
,
how
,
and
when
to
doe
,
but
that
Horse
that
will
not
by
gentle
meanes
be
mooued
,
let
the
rider
assure
himselfe
,
that
hee
is
of
a
bad
nature
,
but
if
any
thing
shall
happen
wherin
of
necessitie
correction
is
to
bee
vsed
,
then
let
Salomons
direction
bee
followed
,
who
as
hee
was
the
wisest
that
euer
was
,
or
shall
bee
,
so
did
hee
keepe
more
horses
then
anye
King
,
that
historie
mencioneth
,
who
saith
,
that
an
vntamed
Horse
becommeth
fierce
,
but
if
he
offend
,
correct
him
(
saith
hee
)
in
the
instant
time
that
hee
erreth
:
wherein
how
many
doe
offend
,
all
mens
eies
are
witnesses
,
beholding
the
common
horse-breakers
&
ignorant
ryders
to
minister
violent
and
horrible
correction
,
when
the
beholder
cannot
finde
a
cause
,
nor
himselfe
expresse
the
reason
:
but
Salomon
saith
,
that
correction
is
to
be
ministred
in
the
instant
time
,
that
he
erreth
,
and
not
when
he
is
ignorant
,
whereof
I
haue
before
shewed
the
difference
;
for
error
euermore
taketh
that
for
true
which
is
false
,
so
as
it
appereth
,
that
when
a
horse
hath
bene
taught
,
and
yet
notwithstanding
erreth
in
the
same
,
he
hath
beene
truely
taught
,
Salomon
would
haue
him
in
that
instance
of
time
punished
for
that
error
,
but
not
to
punish
him
for
ignorance
.

of
the

WHen

fit
for

put
on
a

,
with
a
Chaine

Cauetsane
ouer
his

,
with
a
paire
of
strong
raines
,
but
so
loose
and
easie
for
his
nose
,
as
may
neither
hurt
nor
abate
his
courage
,
or
his
quick

fresh
feeling
,
and
in
all
gentle
manner
set
a

on

,
with
an
vpright
short
pomell
,
so
as
the
true
vse
of
the

may
not
bee
hindered

,
the
bolsters
whereof
would
be
broad
in

to
beare
so
slope
as
the
knee
bee
not
pinched
,
neither
the
thighe
kept
from
the
true
resting

,
the
seate
whereof
would
be
of
reasonable
length
and

,
the
Bolsters
behinde
bearing

inclose

support
the
thigh
to
the

verie
strong

with

verie
strong

almoste

the
Horse
be

because

hath
a

rider
not

vnto
him
,
beeing
neither
assured
of
himselfe
,
nor
of

haue
him

so
as
it
may
bee
truelye
said
,
hee
is
not
himself
,
that
is
troubled
in
minde
,
therfore
to
keepe
him
from
feare
and
perturbation
,
I
would
haue
a
quiet
,
slaide
horse
also
sadled
to
be
rid
before
him
,
and
then
bring
them
both
to
the
block
,
but
the
olde
Horse
first
,
and
then
the
Colt
,
at
which
time
let
the
Ryder
vse
all
milde

gentle
words
to
the
young
Horse
,
making
the
Raynes
of

eeuen

iust

holding
them
in

,
not
stiffe
,
nor
altogether
remisse

and
so
soon
as
he
is
mounted
on
his
backe
,
sit
quietly
there
a
while
,
least
anye
sudden
motion
should
breede
perturbation
in
the
Horse
,
and
vntill
the
Ryder
haue
settled
himselfe
in
the
Saddle
,
his
Nose
directlye
answering
the
Horse

his

his

hanging
streight
downe

neither
thrusting
downe

with

eeuennesse
in

as

stoode
vpon
the
ground
,
the
stirrope
leathers
rather
short

winding
his

something

not

thrust

Stirrop

with
an
vpright

straite
body
:
his
Ridge-bone
answering
the
Ridge-bone
of
the
Horse
,
so
as
the
Horse
and
Ryder
may
neuer
seeme
but
as
one
body
in
all
motions
,
during
which
time
,
clawe
the
Horse
with
your

,
to
put
him
from
feare
or
hard
conceite
of
his
Ryder
,
that
done
,
goe
forward
about
two
paces
faire

softly
,
and
stay
againe
,
making
much
of
him
,
&
so
softly
and
quietly
to
the
place
,
where
the
rider
meaneth
to
tread
out
a
ring
,
all
which
must
be
donne
by
the
ryder
,
bouldly
and
without
feare
,
and
as
he
must
be
thus
vsed
in
going
forward
,
so
must
he
be
vsed
in
treading
and
pacing
out
the
ring
in
some
new
plowed
ground
,
that
is
most
deepe
of
mould
,
where
first
let
the
olde
Horse
enter
,
betwixt
two
furrowes
,
so
far
as
the
rider
may
haue
space
enough
and
mould
enough
,
and
follow
with
the
young
Horse
close
vnto
him
,
which
will
cause
him
the
willinger
to
goe
,
because
he
is
directed
and
guided
by
the
olde
Horse
,
by
which
meanes
he
shal
not
be
any
waies
discomforted
,
then
let
the
olde
Horse
(
the
young
Horse
following
)
enter
on
the
right
hand
,
ouerthwart
the
furrowes
,
and
tread
out
twice
together
a
round
ring
,
conteyning
in
circuit
about
30.
paces
,
&
beeing
come
about
the
second
time
,
where
he
beganne
,
tread
out
the
like
ring
on
the
left
hand
,
and
after
he
hath
so
gone
twice
about
,
let
him
begin
againe
on
the
right
hand
,
&
so
continue
vntil
he
haue
gone
about
the
left
ring
4
times
,
&
the
right
six
,
that
done
,
go
faire
and
softly
out
of
the
selfe
same
furrow
where
he
began
,
about
30.
or
fortie
paces
,
and
there
stand
still
,
keeping
his
head
and
bodie
right
in
the
path
,
remembring
alwaies
to
haue
some
go
by
,
to
signifie
his
true
doing
,
and
to
helpe
if
neede
be
,
and
then
goe
very
gently
backe
againe
from
the
place
he
came
,
and
there
let
the
rider
alight
,
making
much
of
him
,
by
coying
him
,
giuing
him
a
little
grasse
,
hay
,
or
bread
,
in
his
mouth
,
to
procure
and
win
his
loue
,
and
thus
let
him
be
vsed
for
two
dayes
with
a
Horse
before
him
,
and
after
let
him
leade
and
beginne
himselfe
,
to
treade
and
pace
the
Ring
in
this
gentle
manner
by
the
space
of
ten
daies
,
keeping
a
temperate
,
staide
and
firme
hand
vppon
the
Reines
,
with
a
sweete
feeling
stay
,
carrying
his
fore-head
as
Rammes
do
,
when
they
goe
to
fight
,
whereby
hee
shall
not
onelye
Reine
well
,
but
beare
his
heade
iust
,
stayed
,
and
light
,
and
when
hee
knoweth
what
to
doe
,
and
that
for
the
same
hee
is
euermore
cherished
,
hee
will
striue
to
doe
it
faster
&
faster
;
with
the
continuall
keeping
of
your
hand
steadye
,
hee
will
doe
it
with
a
wonderfull
pride
and
delight
:
and
by
giuing
of
libertie
and
hastie
dooing
,
will
worke
the
contrarie
.
In
the
pacing
of
the
Ring
,
you
may
not
carry
ouer
hard
hand
,
to
dull
the
sence
;
but
so
temperately
,
as
the
feeling
may
be
alwaies
fresh
,
otherwise
by
the
violent
haling
thereof
,
by
much
galling
his
Nose
,
whereof
hee
would
willinglye
haue
ease
,
to
auoide
the
same
,
he
wil
set
his
head
&
necke
awrie
:
the
true
vse
therefore
is
,
that
standing
in
the
Furrowe
iust
and
streight
with
his
bodye
,
you
moooue
him
gentlye
to
goe
forward
,
and
in
the
verie
motion
turne
him
on
the
right
hand
,
by
drawing
verie
softlye
the
right
Rayne
shorter
with
your
right
hand
,
lowe
,
vnder
the
Pomell
of
the
Saddle
,
whereunto
if
hee
yeelde
(
as
no
doubt
but
hee
will
,
)
especiallye
hauing
trodde
the
same
before
,
presentlye
make
much
of
him
,
neither
drawing
nor
slacking
the
Reyne
:
at
which
time
of
dooing
,
both
for
ease
of
the
Ryder
and
Horse
,
if
neede
shall
bee
,
let
some
,
skilfull
bodye
(
but
his
Keeper
were
moste
fitte
,
)
come
on
his
left
side
to
his
foreshoulder
,
and
thrust
him
in
by
little
and
little
,
and
then
the
Ryder
also
by
the
Calfe
of
the
left
legge
,
and
the
clacke
of
his
tongue
to
bee
a
helpe
to
make
him
goe
forward
,
but
if
the
horse
bee
such
as
I
haue
described
,
hee
will
doe
it
voluntarilye
and
perfectlye
without
such
helpes
;
but
if
hee
should
not
in
the
verie
motion
of
the
turne
,
to
drawe
the
Reyne
with
your
hand
,
as
before
,
whether
it
be
on
the
right
hand
or
on
the
left
,
all
which
must
bee
done
by
gentle
dealing
,
so
as
hee
may
hope
for
rest
and
quietnesse
,
whereby
hee
will
bee
readye
to
doe
whatsoeuer
you
will
:
but
if
hee
bee
a
ramadge
Iade
,
or
of
euill
disposition
by
Nature
,
for
my
owne
part
I
esteeme
him
not
of
any
worth
to
be
kept
,
as
I
haue
before
saide
,
and
therefore
the
excellent
breede
is
euermore
to
bee
increased
and
cherished
:
for
doe
not
all
Ryders
vse
all
meanes
of
Art
and
practise
to
remooue
imperfection
,
&
to
reduce
them
to
perfection
for
the
vse
of
Man
,
for
whose
onely
vse
they
were
created
?
whereunto
the
vnperfect
shape
by
all
the
Arte
and
knowledge
of
man
,
cannot
haue
perfection
with
continuance
.
Hauing
spoken
of
pacing
the
Horse
in
the
Ring
,
it
followeth
,
that
after
the
ten
daies
expyred
,
the
Horse
bee
taught
to
trotte
the
Ring
,
which
must
be
begun
in
as
slow
&
gentle
trot
as
he
was
in
his
first
beginning
of
pacing
,
increase
his
ring-turns
by
two
&
two
euery
day
,
vntil
he
make
ten
turnes
for
the
left
ring
,
&
12.
for
the
right
,
which
wil
increase
his
swiftnes
,
whereof
he
would
be
restrained
vntil
he
be
most
perfect
(
as
I
haue
shewed
in
teaching
the
scholler
to
write
)
&
then
wil
he
do
it
in
the
greatest
grace
and
pride
that
may
be
,
which
is
the
true
propertie
&
qualitie
of
all
Art
,
euermore
to
effect
perfection
,
during
which
time
of
beginning
of
trotting
,
he
may
not
be
ridden
with
wand
,
nor
weare
any
bytt
,
vntill
he
be
most
perfect
in
trott
,
stoppe
,
and
turne
wel
on
both
hands
,
and
not
by
any
meanes
suffered
to
gallop
,
vntill
hee
can
also
perfectly
aduance
,
by
which
meanes
he
will
be
iust
in
his
pace
,
iust
in
his
trot
,
iust
in
his
stoppe
,
with
a
staide
head
and
necke
,
being
the
chiefe
goodnesse
that
nature
and
Art
affordeth
.
Wherefore
when
you
begin
to
trot
the
Ring
,
be
sure
that
at
the
first
he
bee
moued
therunto
,
as
gently
and
quietly
as
you
can
deuise
,
and
so
to
euerie
action
whatsoeuer
,
vpon
a
stayed
,
temperate
,
and
firme
hand
,
with
a
sweete
stay
,
&
with
a
true
reyne
,
that
is
,
that
his
nose
be
iust
vnder
his
fore-head
,
neither
too
much
out
,
nor
too
much
in
,
which
is
the
iust
placing
and
setling
of
the
head
,
which
will
make
him
haue
a
pleasant
mouth
,
when
hee
commeth
to
weare
the
bitt
,
and
in
this
consisteth
the
chiefe
point
of
Horsemanshippe
,
because
hee
is
so
to
be
maintained
in
all
his
actions
,
the
which
is
most
easie
to
bee
done
,
and
continued
,
if
the
horse
bee
of
perfect
shape
and
spirit
,
but
if
he
shold
make
resistance
for
that
he
is
either
rammage
or
euill
broken
,
then
trot
him
swift
with
quicknesse
of
voice
,
rod
,
and
spurre
,
for
the
time
of
his
trotting
is
the
fittest
time
to
make
him
forgette
his
toyes
,
and
to
attend
his
way
,
and
if
all
this
wil
not
helpe
,
then
spare
not
to
gallop
him
,
and
then
be
sure
he
will
be
a
I
ade
from
the
beginning
to
the
ende
,
for
a
Horse
of
good
temper
and
perfect
shape
,
can
neuer
be
of
so
bad
nature
and
qualitie
.
Wherefore
I
thinke
fit
now
to
shew
,
how
to
make
your
Horse
perfect
in
stop
,
after
you
haue
ended
the
number
of
your
Ring
turnes
,
which
is
to
trott
your
Horse
right
out
in
the
middle
furrowe
betwixt
the
Rings
,
vntil
you
come
at
the
place
of
stop
,
and
there
to
make
a
prettie
stay
,
keeping
his
bodye
right
in
the
pathe
,
wherein
,
if
the
whole
body
,
or
any
part
stand
ouerthwart
,
seeke
not
at
first
to
correct
him
for
the
same
,
but
let
a
foote-man
direct
him
to
stand
right
in
the
pathe
,
by
thrusting
in
that
part
which
standeth
out
of
order
,
or
you
may
cause
the
horse
to
goe
farther
in
the
same
path
,
and
stoppe
him
,
holding
that
raine
straiter
on
that
side
,
whereon
hee
most
forceth
your
hand
,
then
on
the
other
,
which
wil
enforce
him
to
keepe
right
,
which
when
hee
yeeldeth
,
euermore
cherish
him
,
and
after
it
will
be
good
to
trot
and
stop
him
on
a
ground
that
is
a
little
steepe
,
which
something
falleth
,
and
immediately
riseth
,
but
when
he
is
perfect
,
then
you
may
doe
it
on
a
ground
verie
steepe
:
but
to
teach
him
to
goe
backe
,
you
must
(
as
I
haue
saide
)
keepe
a
firme
stayed
hand
on
him
,
without
giuing
libertie
,
and
then
striking
him
on
the
necke
with
your
rodde
,
and
in
that
instant
time
say
backe
,
backe
,
but
if
hee
refuse
,
let
a
foote-man
with
a
rodde
gently
strike
him
on
the
knees
,
&
so
by
gentle
pulling
in
of
your
hand
and
fayre
meanes
win
him
,
and
when
he
yeeldeth
,
cherish
him
.
Hauing
shewed
how
to
ride
your
Horse
without
wand
,
bit
,
or
spurre
,
I
will
now
shew
you
how
to
ride
with
all
three
,
and
the
true
vse
of
the
hand
vpon
the
bit
,
the
chiefe
&
only
principall
point
of
horsemanship
.
First
therfore
when
you
ride
with
a
wand
,
take
it
very
warilye
,
that
the
Horse
bee
not
feared
therewith
,
&
to
assurethe
horse
therof
,
presently
after
you
haue
receiued
it
,
coy
and
scratch
him
about
the
necke
with
the
end
thereof
,
and
for
the
carrying
thereof
it
must
be
in
the
right
hand
,
with
the
point
vpright
,
and
when
you
would
vse
it
,
let
the
point
fal
close
vnto
him
as
occasion
shall
require
:
but
in
your
manage
lay
your
hand
on
your
right
thigh
,
and
the
wand
crosse
the
Horses
necke
,
and
when
he
hath
made
his
course
and
turned
on
the
right
hand
,
then
before
the
end
of
his
second
course
,
when
he
is
almost
ready
to
tourne
on
the
left
hand
,
list
your
hand
and
rod
,
&
hold
the
point
right
foorth
on
the
right
side
,
against
his
eye
,
and
as
he
changeth
turnes
,
so
change
your
rod
of
the
one
side
and
of
the
other
;
but
if
your
Horse
will
not
turne
on
the
side
you
would
haue
him
,
euermore
beat
him
on
the
contrary
side
:
and
when
he
is
any
way
disordered
,
carry
the
wand
on
the
contrary
side
,
and
when
you
would
haue
him
carry
his
forepart
light
,
strike
him
on
the
shoulder
and
forelegs
,
and
when
you
would
haue
him
light
behinde
,
strike
him
one
the
rump
and
hanches
:
and
thus
much
for
the
vse
of
the
wand
as
occasion
shall
serue
.
Now
for
the
true
vse
of
the
bit
,
which
is
an
instrument
onely
guided
and
directed
by
the
hand
,
&
because
the
ground
of
the
art
of
riding
dependeth
wholly
vpon
the
vse
and
true
gouerment
of
the
hand
,
being
guided
by
reason
and
discourse
,
so
as
the
Horse
in
all
motions
and
actions
is
and
ought
to
answere
to
that
motion
,
which
the
hand
mooueth
,
I
may
not
passe
the
same
ouer-lightly
.
First
therefore
let
the
bit
that
you
first
bit
your
Horse
withall
,
be
gentle
and
pleasant
,
yet
so
that
the
gentlenes
cause
him
not
to
dispise
you
,
nor
the
hardnes
driue
him
to
dispaire
;
for
you
must
vnderstand
,
that
knowledge
alwaies
presupposeth
reason
,
and
reason
sence
;
and
sence
and
reason
consist
in
true
mediocrity
,
and
therefore
amongst
the
most
learned
precepts
that
were
written
in
the
temple
of
Apollo
in
Graecia
,
this
was
in
the
second
place
nothing
too
much
.
SOLON
saide
nothing
more
then
enough
,
PITTACHVS
doe
all
thinges
by
a
mediocritie
,
so
that
all
difference
betwixt
good
and
badde
consisteth
in
a
certaine
mediocritie
,
which
CICERO
calleth
the
best
of
all
thinges
;
for
when
you
presse
him
with
the
bridle
,
if
hee
carryeth
his
head
well
,
yet
must
you
presentlye
ease
your
bridle
hand
,
and
make
much
of
him
,
because
hee
sheweth
himselfe
obedient
vnto
you
,
and
whensoeuer
hee
doth
anye
thing
well
,
and
with
delight
,
you
must
bee
verye
heedefulnot
to
vexe
him
,
as
if
your
desire
were
to
torment
him
,
but
euer
so
winne
him
,
as
hee
may
bee
willing
to
please
you
.
So
likewise
when
you
beare
a
firme
hand
with
a
stay
;
&
thereby
the
Horse
doth
bring
in
his
head
,
and
yeelde
to
your
hand
,
yet
you
must
shorten
the
raines
of
your
bridle
,
till
his
head
bee
setled
in
due
place
,
that
is
neither
to
carie
his
fore-head
too
much
out
,
nor
too
much
in
,
&
stil
maintaine
him
in
the
forme
in
all
his
dooings
,
yet
that
it
exceede
not
mediocrity
or
temperature
,
but
remaine
light
on
the
hand
with
a
sweet
mouth
.
Thus
hauing
shewd
you
,
that
it
must
be
done
,
I
will
shewe
you
how
to
doe
it
,
by
keeping
this
order
:
stay
your
horse
temperately
with
the
bridle
vpon
a
stayed
hand
,
as
his
resistance
shal
require
,
without
giuing
any
libertie
,
then
with
your
rodde
strike
him
gently
vpon
the
bowing
of
the
necke
,
prouoking
him
with
the
spur
on
that
side
,
hee
most
wryeth
his
buttock
,
to
the
end
he
may
goe
iust
,
vntill
he
draw
backe
one
of
his
forefeete
,
which
if
hee
doe
,
make
much
of
him
,
and
then
stay
a
while
,
and
do
the
like
,
drawing
onely
the
bridle
,
for
the
former
cherishing
will
cause
him
to
vnderstand
you
,
and
then
wil
he
goe
lightly
backe
with
both
the
fore
legges
,
when
you
touch
him
on
the
necke
with
the
rodde
,
saying
with
a
lowde
voice
,
backe
:
at
which
voice
with
the
feele
of
the
rodde
,
and
drawing
of
the
bridle
,
he
will
goe
backe
to
your
desire
,
and
alwaies
after
,
when
hee
is
out
of
the
due
and
true
stay
vppon
the
bridle
,
doe
the
like
,
that
is
to
goe
backe
in
forme
afore-said
,
and
although
some
disorder
be
committed
,
haue
no
dispaire
,
for
you
shall
finde
him
easily
wonne
to
a
good
mouth
,
by
this
vse
of
a
temperate
and
firme
hand
,
which
is
by
the
mediocritie
of
slacking
and
drawing
,
which
is
propperly
tearmed
a
sweet
stay
,
What
is
a
temperate
and
firme
hand
.
which
the
Italians
call
Dolce
Appoggio
,
making
him
light
vpon
the
hand
,
champing
the
bitt
with
great
pleasure
,
and
a
stayed
head
in
due
place
,
the
true
tokens
whereof
are
iust
rayne
,
iust
staide
,
and
light
borne
head
with
pleasure
on
the
bit
,
being
properties
inseperable
in
euery
perfect
shaped
Horses
actions
,
but
because
it
may
seeme
very
difficult
to
haue
continuance
of
perfection
in
euery
action
,
although
it
is
common
vppon
stop
,
or
standing
still
,
to
be
in
order
,
yet
perhaps
vpon
motion
,
he
wil
leaue
playing
on
the
bit
,
and
beare
vpon
the
hand
,
especially
vppon
the
maine
careere
,
which
commeth
for
want
of
true
knowledge
how
to
maintaine
and
continue
the
hand
iust
and
firme
with
a
sweete
stay
,
so
as
he
may
take
pleasure
on
the
bit
,
and
therefore
how
to
maintaine
a
Horse
both
in
furious
and
quiet
dooings
,
is
to
be
considered
of
,
if
then
at
any
time
he
make
any
disorder
,
note
it
dilligently
,
and
by
and
by
stay
fayre
and
gently
,
and
make
him
go
backe
as
you
did
before
,
for
in
going
backe
he
wil
bring
himselfe
into
his
right
order
again
,
then
presently
make
much
of
him
,
and
forthwith
mooue
him
forward
,
faire
and
gently
,
till
he
come
to
the
place
of
stop
,
and
as
he
must
be
thus
vsed
in
going
forward
,
so
must
he
be
vsed
in
treading
of
the
rings
,
first
gently
vppon
the
pace
,
vppon
the
trot
,
and
so
vpon
the
gallop
,
in
practising
wherof
you
must
precisely
obserue
that
it
be
done
with
a
temperate
,
stayde
,
and
firme
hand
,
otherwise
he
will
gape
,
thrust
his
tongue
vppon
the
bit
,
or
ouer
the
bit
to
defend
himselfe
,
thrust
his
head
out
sudd
ainely
,
pluck
it
in
disdainefully
,
or
else
shaking
or
moouing
his
head
one
way
or
other
,
to
be
freed
from
the
pressing
of
the
intemperate
hand
which
is
to
him
violence
and
contrarie
to
Nature
,
the
which
Art
shold
euermore
labour
to
please
.
The
true
forme
&
practise
of
drawing
the
bridle
,
is
also
to
bee
learned
,
which
is
,
that
being
mounted
in
the
Saddle
,
let
the
Ryder
draw
the
Raines
equall
,
and
if
the
Horse
know
not
the
Bytt
,
then
let
the
Bytte
bee
verie
slack
,
and
hold
the
Raines
in
his
left
hand
,
with
the
little
finger
and
ring
finger
betweene
,
vnder
the
pomell
of
the
saddle
,
as
neere
the
withers
as
he
can
,
and
then
with
the
right
hand
draw
the
raines
softlye
and
equally
together
through
the
left
hand
,
so
as
the
standers
by
can
scarce
perceiue
,
the
which
hee
may
not
remooue
,
vntill
he
feele
the
Horse
begin
to
stay
vpon
the
bytt
,
&
then
there
hold
them
without
slacking
or
farther
drawing
,
vntill
hee
peruse
whether
the
head
standeth
in
true
forme
,
which
if
it
bee
not
,
then
let
him
a
little
yeelde
his
left
hand
againe
,
and
standing
so
a
prettie
while
,
bring
his
left
hand
to
his
former
place
againe
,
where
the
Horse
made
the
first
stay
vppon
the
bytte
,
but
if
you
perceiue
the
Horse
doubteth
whether
to
put
it
out
,
or
bring
it
in
,
which
will
bee
hardly
perceiued
,
other
then
that
then
,
hee
standeth
without
motion
vppon
the
bytte
,
then
drawe
the
Raines
with
your
right
hand
,
somewhat
more
through
the
left
hand
as
before
,
but
so
little
and
gently
as
can
scarce
bee
perceiued
by
the
Beholders
,
for
so
must
all
the
motions
of
the
hand
bee
,
and
then
keepe
it
firme
and
stayed
a
prettie
while
,
and
then
if
hee
yeelde
,
though
verie
little
,
keepe
your
hand
still
at
one
stay
,
neither
slacking
nor
drawing
it
,
wherebye
hee
will
feele
the
ease
hee
hath
gotten
by
yeelding
,
and
then
presentlye
make
much
of
him
,
but
if
it
happen
the
Raines
fall
slacke
,
remooue
not
your
left
hand
,
but
drawe
the
Raines
through
your
left
hand
,
as
before
,
for
they
may
not
be
slack
vntill
he
stay
againe
vppon
your
right
hand
,
whereunto
whensoeuer
he
yeeldeth
,
make
much
of
him
,
continuing
still
in
this
sort
to
solicite
him
,
till
his
head
be
in
his
due
place
,
that
is
neither
too
much
out
,
nor
too
much
in
,
after
which
time
,
if
hee
beare
not
light
,
let
his
keeper
strike
him
gently
on
the
knees
of
his
fore-legges
to
make
him
go
backe
,
whereby
he
will
bring
in
his
head
,
and
then
will
the
bit
mooue
,
and
your
hand
finde
ease
,
but
be
very
carefull
at
that
instant
,
to
keepe
your
hand
so
firme
,
as
you
neither
slacke
nor
drawe
in
,
to
the
end
he
may
feele
and
reteyne
the
ease
of
his
owne
motion
of
yeelding
,
which
willingly
he
will
not
loose
,
beeing
delightfull
to
nature
,
but
take
delight
to
stir
the
bit
in
his
mouth
and
goe
backe
withall
likewise
,
the
which
when
you
finde
,
are
tokens
of
the
winning
of
his
mouth
,
which
beeing
won
,
with
obseruation
of
good
order
,
may
be
brought
to
continuall
perfection
.
Thus
I
haue
shewed
you
so
much
as
Arte
may
helpe
,
but
if
the
shape
and
nature
of
the
Horse
be
opposite
and
repugnant
,
as
in
the
greatest
number
of
Horses
it
is
,
howsoeuer
for
a
time
it
may
seeme
perfect
,
yet
no
doubt
it
cannot
be
of
continuance
,
and
therefore
still
desire
all
men
,
to
put
their
vttermost
helpe
for
to
increase
a
perfect
breede
of
Horses
,
and
increase
of
temperate
teachers
.
But
because
in
the
whole
Art
of
Ryding
there
is
no
one
thing
more
difficult
,
then
to
make
a
Horse
Trott
iust
,
and
that
the
pefection
thereof
is
the
perfection
of
all
other
his
iust
dooings
,
I
purpose
a
little
farther
discourse
heerein
,
fearing
that
I
haue
beene
too
briefe
,
so
as
diuers
doubts
may
stil
arise
amongst
such
as
haue
not
had
long
knowledge
and
practise
therein
.
Wherefore
obserue
that
when
you
are
teaching
your
horse
heerein
,
or
in
any
other
lesson
,
that
you
doe
not
trouble
him
,
with
anye
other
lesson
at
that
time
,
neither
suffer
him
to
begin
to
learne
any
other
,
vntill
he
be
verie
perfect
in
that
he
is
in
learning
.
2
Secondly
that
you
doe
not
suffer
anye
other
to
ride
him
vntill
he
be
perfect
in
such
lessons
you
purpose
to
teach
him
,
least
he
be
confused
by
diuersitie
of
hands
,
and
man-ner
of
teaching
.
3.
Thirdly
,
when
hee
is
brought
to
a
iust
stay
of
head
,
and
assurance
of
the
bytt
,
then
doe
you
mainetaine
him
therein
to
a
full
perfection
.
4
Fourthly
,
when
he
is
out
of
order
,
then
stay
him
and
make
him
goe
backe
,
as
before
is
mencioned
.
5
Fiftly
,
when
he
is
in
order
,
then
make
much
of
him
,
and
stay
not
long
,
but
with
a
firme
hand
faire
&
gently
put
him
into
his
pace
againe
.
6.
Sixtlye
,
if
hee
continue
in
his
good
order
,
make
much
of
him
,
giuing
your
body
,
with
a
gentle
motion
of
the
calfes
of
your
legges
,
mooue
him
to
doe
it
more
speedily
,
the
which
if
he
be
by
nature
good
,
he
will
quickly
performe
,
alwaies
remembring
to
keep
a
firme
hand
,
vnlesse
by
bringing
in
his
head
,
the
Reines
fall
slack
,
which
must
be
then
drawne
as
hath
bene
tolde
you
.
7.
Seauenthly
,
if
his
trot
continue
not
light
vppon
your
hand
,
stay
him
,
cause
him
to
goe
backe
,
which
will
bring
him
in
order
againe
,
and
then
gently
put
him
into
his
pace
,
&
so
to
his
trot
as
before
;
which
being
wel
done
,
cherish
&
coy
him
by
all
the
sweetest
&
best
meanes
you
may
,
so
that
you
may
ouerwin
his
loue
therby
,
&
so
for
that
time
leaue
him
,
&
lead
him
home
by
some
leading
line
,
in
which
time
giue
him
a
little
grasse
or
hay
on
your
hand
,
and
scratch
him
,
&
speake
to
him
with
the
most
louing
words
you
may
,
which
will
make
him
at
your
next
exercise
,
doe
all
thinges
to
your
greatest
content
,
&
within
twentie
daies
he
will
pace
and
trotte
in
such
order
,
as
alwaies
after
you
may
trot
him
most
swiftly
in
the
rings
or
in
manage
.
8.
Eightly
,
in
his
swift
trot
,
by
all
meanes
keepe
your
true
feate
and
firme
hand
,
so
as
he
lose
not
that
excellent
forme
and
grace
before
prescribed
,
but
do
not
galloppe
him
vntil
he
be
iust
and
perfect
in
his
swift
trot
,
&
then
out
of
that
trot
,
to
put
him
to
a
quiet
gallop
in
the
large
ringes
,
euen
to
the
stoppe
:
but
beware
you
draw
not
your
hand
hastily
to
you
,
but
by
a
little
sway
of
your
bodye
,
backe
and
hand
together
,
and
stay
your
hand
there
til
he
come
back
a
step
or
two
,
&
there
stay
him
&
suffer
him
not
to
go
forward
,
&
in
that
instant
make
verie
much
of
him
,
&
so
let
your
hand
and
body
go
to
the
place
againe
.
9.
Ninthly
,
if
he
should
then
offer
to
goe
forward
,
stay
him
with
the
like
sway
,
and
then
alight
&
lead
him
home
,
making
much
of
him
,
as
before
.
10.
Tenthly
,
to
assure
your selfe
of
the
right
vse
of
this
hath
bene
saide
,
and
of
the
perfections
therof
,
pace
your
Horse
ouerthwart
some
deepe
fallowe
,
as
fast
as
you
can
for
halfe
an
hower
but
suffer
him
not
by
any
meanes
to
trot
,
keeping
your
hand
in
a
firme
and
temperat
stay
,
as
before
:
and
if
you
still
finde
his
head
in
due
place
,
his
cariage
light
&
pleasant
vpon
the
bit
,
you
are
assured
you
haue
gained
the
perfection
of
the
hand
,
and
the
true
vse
thereof
for
the
teaching
and
making
of
a
yong
Horse
,
wherin
obserue
that
if
he
be
of
perfect
shape
,
his
head
wil
be
in
due
place
,
&
light
vpon
the
bit
,
without
art
.
Now
a
little
I
purpose
to
speake
of
the
Horse
that
is
alreadie
taught
,
and
brought
to
perfection
,
wherin
a
good
rider
hath
small
neede
to
vse
any
rod
,
or
other
help
,
but
to
keep
his
true
,
iust
,
and
perfect
seat
,
because
the
Horse
by
the
least
token
or
motion
of
bridle
or
spur
,
will
do
all
thinges
in
such
time
and
measure
,
as
the
beholders
will
iudge
the
Horse
and
rider
but
one
bodie
,
one
minde
,
and
one
will
;
and
therefore
how
the
reines
should
be
caried
,
placed
&
vsed
,
is
the
onely
thing
to
be
spoken
of
.
The
reynes
you
must
holde
in
your
left
hand
,
placing
the
little
finger
and
ring-finger
betwixt
the
two
reines
,
and
the
thumbe
close
vp
on
the
reines
,
so
as
the
hand
remooue
not
from
the
crest
of
the
Horse
,
for
by
the
motion
of
the
hand
it
is
signified
to
the
Horse
which
way
you
would
haue
him
turne
:
which
is
by
streyning
the
reyne
on
that
hand
you
would
haue
him
turne
,
and
slacking
it
on
the
other
:
the
order
and
manner
there
of
hath
bene
and
is
yet
diuersly
vsed
of
the
best
horsemen
,
and
therefore
I
leaue
it
to
euery
mans
vse
as
he
findeth
it
most
fit
:
but
in
running
at
the
Tilt
,
where
the
Horse
neither
doth
or
can
turne
,
the
rider
must
not
draw
the
bridle
towards
the
Tilt
,
but
only
strainethe
reine
that
is
next
the
Tilt
to
make
him
cary
his
head
towards
the
same
.
1.
But
because
the
true
shape
and
goodnes
of
nature
of
the
Horse
is
,
it
that
art
attendeth
&
worketh
vpon
,
in
those
Horses
the
rules
of
arte
haue
perfection
with
continuance
,
so
as
the
Horse
that
is
of
perfect
shape
and
well
taught
,
shall
not
indanger
winde
or
limbe
,
or
deformity
of
body
.
2.
Next
,
your
person
shal
neuerbe
in
perill
by
rearing
or
running
away
.
3.
Thirdly
the
rider
shall
neuer
be
grieued
with
heauy
bearing
vpon
his
hand
,
but
performe
all
with
great
delight
:
neither
shal
you
need
Cauetsane
,
musrole
,
martingale
,
or
such
like
,
but
only
false
reines
.
4.
Fourthly
&
lastly
,
this
teaching
will
manifest
the
difference
betwixt
true
knowers
and
ignorant
ryders
,
which
doings
the
Horse
doth
represent
&
expresse
when
he
would
appeare
most
beautifull
,
and
thereby
make
both
the
rider
and
himselfe
appeare
most
noble
,
terrible
and
beautifull
to
beholde
,
with
such
delight
to
the
beholders
,
as
they
will
seeme
to
be
rauished
with
delight
;
all
which
is
attained
by
good
discretion
,
taking
of
time
with
temperance
,
which
of
few
is
little
regarded
,
rather
ryding
without
order
,
and
with
such
extremitie
of
spur
and
rod
,
that
for
want
of
breath
they
commit
many
diforders
,
whereby
the
poore
Horse
is
cruelly
tormented
being
no
other
then
to
ride
as
mad
men
without
discretion
,
and
as
passionate
and
furious
men
without
reason
.
After
your
horse
hath
pefectly
learnd
swiftly
to
trot
perfectly
to
stop
,
&
perfectly
go
back
;
thou
ought
he
to
be
taught
perfectly
to
aduaunce
,
which
is
by
lifting
vp
both
his
fore-feete
iust
and
euen
together
,
like
vnto
a
goate
,
somewhat
aboue
the
ground
,
and
so
let
them
fal
euen
&
iust
,
twice
or
thrice
together
:
the
true
dooing
wherof
wil
cause
him
to
make
a
iust
perfect
mannage
,
and
a
ready
and
perfect
turne
:
for
the
attaining
whereof
,
trot
him
gently
fortie
or
fifty
foote
in
some
plaint
way
,
then
giue
him
a
iust
stop
,
which
he
wil
truly
perform
,
because
he
hath
before
perfectly
learned
the
same
,
alwaies
keepe
a
steady
,
pleasant
,
&
perfect
hand
on
the
bridle
:
then
instantly
with
a
milde
voice
,
say
,
hup
,
hup
,
striking
him
in
that
instant
with
your
wand
on
the
right
shoulder
,
&
also
with
both
the
calfes
of
your
legs
together
,
but
spur
him
not
,
if
possiblye
without
it
hee
wil
aduance
,
the
which
with
a
little
labor
,
&
patient
teching
,
no
doubt
hee
wil
attempt
to
do
,
2.
or
thrice
together
;
the
which
if
he
do
,
then
in
that
instant
make
much
of
him
(
althogh
it
be
very
meanly
done
)
&
pause
a
little
time
&
giue
breath
,
then
trothim
again
in
like
maner
,
the
like
distance
of
ground
,
&
as
before
,
so
gently
vse
him
again
,
the
which
if
he
do
better
aduance
,
make
much
of
him
but
if
he
do
not
better
euery
time
hee
is
taught
,
you
must
stil
folicite
him
vntil
he
doe
better
,
&
then
presently
coy
him
,
&
make
much
of
him
:
all
which
must
be
with
temperance
,
&
not
with
furie
,
and
be
sure
to
giue
him
breath
,
and
not
to
be
rash
or
hasty
,
neither
forget
to
make
much
of
him
,
when
at
your
direction
hee
doth
any
thing
well
;
so
shall
you
cause
him
to
do
the
same
most
delightfully
,
&
also
sencibly
aprehend
when
he
doth
wel
whatsoeuer
you
desire
,
&
after
that
he
can
in
plain
ground
perfectly
aduīce
,
then
teach
it
him
gently
vpon
the
hanging
knole
of
a
hill
,
to
bring
him
perfectly
to
stop
,
and
runne
slyding
vpon
his
bu●tocks
or
hinder
legges
,
which
is
moste
praise-worthy
,
beautifull
or
gracefull
for
manage
and
turne
,
and
therefore
let
him
do
it
most
perfectly
before
you
teach
him
any
other
lesson
:
and
when
he
can
doe
it
perfectly
vpon
a
soft
trott
,
then
vpon
the
swift
trot
&
afterwards
doe
it
vpon
a
soft
gallop
,
and
not
before
,
but
neuer
vpon
a
swift
gallop
,
vntill
he
be
perfect
both
in
turne
and
mannage
,
remembring
the
manner
how
I
tolde
you
to
make
a
Scholler
write
as
faire
and
perfect
as
his
maister
:
&
be
sure
to
obserue
(
if
it
may
be
)
when
you
teach
him
to
haue
one
by
that
can
iudge
of
the
good
or
euill
dooing
therof
,
the
want
wherof
is
a
principall
cause
of
most
errors
,
because
the
Ryder
cannot
iudicially
see
whether
it
bee
as
it
ought
,
that
is
iust
and
true
,
and
with
comelye
grace
:
whereby
manye
faultes
and
errors
are
committed
and
continued
,
which
by
the
helpe
of
a
skilfull
director
,
would
bee
easily
amended
in
the
beginning
,
for
principio
mederi
multo
melius
quam
fini
,
to
amend
a
fault
in
the
beginning
,
is
far
more
easie
then
when
it
hath
bene
long
accustomed
:
for
if
he
aduance
too
high
,
and
not
iust
and
euen
,
and
with
a
good
grace
,
as
hee
ought
,
then
may
the
fault
be
speedily
found
,
and
easily
amended
by
immediate
correcting
him
,
with
one
,
or
with
an
euen
stroke
of
your
legges
and
the
wand
,
with
a
sweete
staied
hand
on
the
bridle
,
which
with
few
trials
,
will
amend
what
is
amisse
,
and
the
end
full
perfection
.
And
for
the
teaching
of
your
horse
to
yerk
,
because
thereby
commeth
much
more
hurt
then
good
,
I
leaue
to
entreat
thereof
.
And
whereas
some
apoint
many
helpes
for
Horses
that
are
harder
,
to
turne
on
the
one
side
,
then
on
the
other
(
although
I
confesse
their
general
desire
is
more
apt
to
the
left
hand
then
to
the
right
)
yet
to
a
Horse
of
good
nature
and
perfect
shape
,
little
Arte
will
speedily
helpe
,
and
to
teach
those
Horses
that
are
otherwise
shaped
,
is
but
to
teach
an
Asse
to
run
vnder
a
bridle
,
and
may
truly
say
with
Horace
,
O
infelix
operam
perdas
,
O
vnfortunate
skill
to
loose
thy
labor
,
and
so
soone
shall
a
ryder
bring
a
Iade
to
perfection
,
as
an
Asse
to
play
on
a
harpe
:
for
as
a
good
Horse
by
the
sound
of
a
trumpet
is
stirred
and
mooued
to
battaile
,
so
Suem
abigat
citius
,
quam
animet
ad
pugnam
,
the
Sowe
is
therby
sooner
chased
away
,
then
incouraged
to
fight
,
because
nature
hath
not
made
her
for
that
purpose
.
It
now
remaineth
to
shew
when
to
make
the
halfe
turne
and
the
double
turne
,
the
chambetta
,
the
manage
,
to
passe
a
swift
cariere
,
the
coruet
,
&
such
like
.
The
next
lesson
he
is
to
learne
,
after
he
is
very
perfect
in
those
I
haue
set
down
,
is
to
make
a
true
&
iust
halfe
and
double
turne
,
which
would
be
in
this
maner
.
First
when
you
haue
gently
trotted
,
stopped
&
aduanced
your
Horse
the
length
of
a
short
cariere
,
teach
him
gently
and
mildly
to
make
the
halfe
turne
(
beginning
alwaies
on
the
right
hand
)
that
is
to
turn
him
with
the
helpe
of
your
left
leg
,
that
his
head
may
stand
that
way
which
before
his
taile
stood
,
which
is
called
a
halfe
turne
,
because
he
maketh
but
halfe
a
circle
;
but
if
in
the
turne
he
set
his
head
that
way
it
stood
at
first
,
that
is
a
whole
circle
,
and
therefore
called
a
whole
turne
;
but
let
him
first
doe
the
halfe
turne
perfect
,
and
let
that
bee
his
first
lesson
,
&
learne
it
very
perfect
before
you
teach
him
the
double
turne
,
which
must
be
done
by
helping
him
with
your
voice
,
and
Calfe
of
your
left
legge
,
and
not
at
first
by
any
meanes
to
haue
him
spurred
,
if
he
can
be
otherwise
brought
vnto
it
,
because
to
spur
is
a
correction
,
which
may
not
bee
done
but
in
that
instant
when
he
hath
committed
an
error
,
and
not
while
he
remaineth
ignorant
what
to
doe
;
by
which
meanes
vndoubtedly
being
a
sencible
creature
,
he
wil
euermore
perceiue
his
errors
and
offences
,
wherby
with
little
correction
he
wil
easily
amend
any
fault
;
&
neuer
driue
him
to
dispaire
,
for
hauing
formerly
attained
a
perfection
of
a
iust
,
euen
&
swift
trot
in
the
rings
,
(
the
verie
true
ground
of
all
other
lessons
)
he
will
easily
turne
on
the
right
hand
,
setting
his
head
that
way
his
taile
stood
;
the
which
being
perfectly
attained
,
then
close
it
vp
with
another
halfe
turne
on
the
same
hand
by
the
prescribed
helpes
,
setting
his
head
and
all
his
body
in
the
same
pathe
it
was
at
the
first
:
then
giue
breath
,
and
make
much
of
him
,
and
then
make
him
doe
as
much
on
the
left
hand
,
and
so
to
change
from
hand
to
hand
,
leauing
alwaies
on
the
right
;
remembring
that
the
two
first
halfe
turnes
be
done
more
leasurely
,
then
the
two
last
halfe
turnes
,
which
must
be
done
more
speedily
,
and
then
make
him
doe
as
much
on
the
left
hand
,
&
so
change
from
hand
to
hand
,
leauing
alwaies
on
the
right
.
Thus
by
often
making
much
of
him
when
he
doth
well
,
taking
leasure
,
&
giuing
breath
,
you
shal
vndoubtedly
,
if
he
be
of
good
nature
&
perfect
shape
,
make
him
do
swiftly
,
loftilie
,
and
iustly
,
&
with
such
grace
as
shall
bring
to
the
vnlearned
beholder
wonder
,
and
to
the
skilful
,
admirable
delight
.
In
the
doing
wherof
,
first
obserue
whether
hee
bring
on
the
contrarie
legge
orderlie
.
Secondly
,
that
hee
doe
it
after
the
first
bound
of
aduancing
,
and
after
at
the
second
or
third
bound
.
Thirdly
that
you
alwaies
begin
on
the
right
hand
and
end
on
the
right
.
Fourthly
,
that
after
he
is
perfect
in
dooing
of
the
whole
turne
,
that
you
make
him
doe
it
swiftlye
and
roundly
,
without
stop
or
stay
of
the
halfe
turne
,
and
speedily
in
the
closing
of
euerie
whole
turne
,
and
in
so
narrow
a
roome
as
may
be
.
Fiftly
,
after
he
is
perfect
as
aforesaide
,
giue
him
on
each
hand
three
whole
turnes
,
wherof
let
the
first
be
verie
faire
and
softly
,
beginning
at
the
right
hand
and
ending
at
the
right
,
in
the
dooing
whereof
you
must
alwaies
helpe
him
with
your
tongue
,
your
rod
and
your
legge
,
whereby
a
continual
vse
before
you
teach
him
any
other
lesson
(
which
would
neuer
bee
done
vnlesse
he
be
perfect
in
the
lesson
hee
is
learning
)
you
shall
in
the
end
with
discreete
and
temperate
teaching
,
bring
him
to
an
admirable
perfection
,
keeping
time
and
measure
,
that
the
one
bee
not
swifter
then
the
other
except
the
last
,
which
euermore
would
be
moste
perfect
and
speedy
.
Now
to
proceed
to
the
managing
of
a
horse
,
the
true
signification
whereof
is
to
bee
rightlye
vnderstood
,
by
such
as
endeuour
Horsemanship
,
for
ignoratis
terminis
ignoratur
&
ars
,
to
bee
ignorant
of
the
termes
,
is
to
be
ignorant
of
the
Arte
,
I
take
it
to
be
a
compound
of
these
lattin
wordes
,
manus
and
ago
,
for
as
the
sterne
of
a
ship
dooth
guide
and
gouerne
the
same
by
a
sweete
and
gentle
motion
,
so
the
hand
(
being
the
instrument
of
instruments
)
doth
guide
&
gouerne
the
Horse
to
euerie
action
,
and
therefore
may
fitly
be
saide
manu
agere
,
or
as
the
Italians
properly
call
Maneggiare
,
which
is
as
much
as
skilfully
to
handle
.
And
therfore
when
the
rider
shal
exercise
the
Horse
perfectly
and
gracefully
in
his
place
,
trot
stop
,
aduance
,
double
or
single
turn
,
cariere
,
gallop
,
leape
,
caperiole
,
coruet
,
assaut
,
or
whatsoeuer
,
the
hand
being
the
principall
actor
or
primus
moter
,
may
truely
and
aptlye
bee
called
mannage
,
which
cannot
truely
be
done
without
the
generall
knowledge
and
practise
of
the
generall
preceptes
of
the
whole
Arte.
And
as
all
the
former
exercises
must
bee
taught
and
begunne
to
be
exercised
vpon
a
soft
pace
or
trott
,
and
not
with
a
galloppe
,
euen
so
ought
his
managing
to
be
.
And
although
many
worthy
Horsemen
haue
and
doe
onely
restraine
managing
to
gallopping
,
and
to
bring
too
and
froe
in
one selfe
pathe
,
by
halfe
rest
,
whole
rest
,
or
without
rest
,
as
when
the
rider
manageth
with
halfe
rest
,
causing
the
Horse
at
the
end
of
euerie
managing
path
,
after
hee
hath
stopped
to
aduance
twice
together
,
and
at
the
second
bound
to
turne
and
rest
one
bound
:
doth
not
the
Rider
therin
exercise
the
trott
,
the
stoppe
,
the
aduance
,
and
the
turne
which
he
formerly
learned
,
and
according
to
the
same
maner
:
or
when
he
manageth
with
whole
rest
;
and
turne
him
at
the
third
bound
,
and
rest
two
boundes
:
Or
manage
him
without
rest
,
by
turning
him
immediately
vpon
the
stop
,
without
anye
taryance
or
rest
at
al
,
which
only
is
most
common
with
vs
in
England
,
and
yet
the
manage
with
the
halfe
rest
is
moste
necessarie
for
attaining
of
perfection
;
doth
not
the
Ryder
keepe
and
maintaine
the
Horse
in
one
path
,
one
place
of
stop
,
making
him
keep
his
ground
,
and
therein
carrie
his
head
,
necke
,
legs
,
and
all
his
body
iust
,
closing
his
turne
roundlye
,
and
in
narrow
roome
,
with
true
time
and
measure
in
euery
action
,
as
he
hath
bene
formerly
taught
?
how
then
can
managing
be
properlye
referred
to
one
onelie
action
,
when
it
is
the
perfect
acting
of
euerie
action
and
lesson
he
hath
learned
?
wherin
when
your
horse
is
moste
ready
and
perfect
,
you
may
increase
the
often
dooing
of
his
lessons
at
your
will
,
and
make
alteration
of
his
turnes
and
exercises
,
to
finde
out
the
perfection
of
his
obedience
,
and
when
the
same
are
artificially
and
perfectlye
performed
,
then
may
the
rider
be
truely
saide
a
perfect
manager
,
in
all
which
alterations
beware
of
furious
passion
,
or
of
longer
exercise
,
then
you
finde
ful
breath
and
delight
in
the
horse
;
wherin
if
there
be
any
omission
,
be
sure
there
cannot
be
perfection
of
the
thing
desired
:
for
as
patience
is
a
braunch
of
magnanimitie
,
fortitude
and
greatnes
of
courage
,
so
impatience
is
a
weakenes
&
imbicilitie
,
of
a
base
,
vile
,
and
contemptible
nature
,
because
choller
&
anger
are
enemies
to
al
reason
,
&
therfore
saith
Salomon
he
that
is
slow
to
anger
is
better
then
a
mightie
man
,
and
he
that
ruleth
his
owne
minde
is
better
then
hee
that
winneth
a
Cittie
.
Now
resteth
it
to
shewe
what
are
the
principall
things
that
are
to
be
obserued
in
the
true
managing
of
a
horse
.
First
he
is
to
be
taught
his
manage
with
a
soft
trot
&
not
with
a
gallop
:
my
reason
is
,
because
therby
he
may
at
the
first
,
sencibly
apprehend
what
he
is
to
do
,
&
how
to
do
;
the
which
when
he
knoweth
,
if
he
be
of
good
nature
&
perfect
shape
,
he
will
not
only
do
it
most
willingly
,
but
perform
it
most
beautiful
,
graceful
,
&
praise-worthy
,
which
is
by
bowing
of
his
houghes
behinde
,
to
turn
round
with
the
chambetta
,
which
is
by
holding
vp
the
forefoot
on
that
side
he
shold
turn
,
whiles
he
bringeth
ouer
the
contrarie
leg
,
and
setteth
it
not
down
vntil
he
haue
closed
his
turn
,
so
as
therby
he
shal
carie
both
his
forefeete
aboue
the
ground
,
to
his
great
praise
,
and
not
trayling
vpon
the
ground
which
is
disgracefull
.
When
you
teach
your
horse
(
which
is
after
hee
can
stop
wel
,
aduance
before
,
and
turne
readily
on
both
hands
)
then
with
a
soft
trot
come
to
the
place
of
stop
about
20.
paces
in
length
,
and
make
him
aduance
twice
together
,
&
at
the
second
bound
turne
him
on
the
right
hand
(
for
on
that
hand
you
must
alwaies
beginne
)
helping
him
so
,
that
by
bowing
his
houghs
behinde
,
hee
mooue
his
fore-part
orderlye
,
then
immediately
in
gentle
maner
trot
him
back
to
the
place
you
came
from
,
&
then
&
there
after
he
hath
made
his
stop
,
at
the
second
bound
of
his
aduancing
turn
him
on
the
left
hand
,
obseruing
the
like
order
vntil
you
haue
gone
10.
or
12.
times
,
and
at
the
last
,
cause
him
to
aduance
twice
together
,
&
thus
much
for
the
halfe
rest
,
the
which
when
hee
can
perfectly
doe
,
you
may
teach
him
the
whole
rest
,
which
is
to
aduance
thrice
,
&
at
the
third
bound
to
turn
,
but
be
sure
he
be
perfect
in
one
lesson
before
you
teach
him
another
.
Now
because
the
mannage
without
rest
is
moste
propper
for
Iades
,
I
omit
to
entreate
therof
,
because
I
wold
not
admit
Asinum
sub
freno
,
an
Asse
to
weare
a
bridle
:
in
all
your
managing
let
your
body
still
accompany
your
horse
in
the
action
with
a
good
grace
,
And
when
he
hath
verie
perfectlye
learned
his
manage
,
on
a
soft
trot
,
then
may
you
manage
him
with
a
gallop
,
giuing
him
on
each
hand
one
single
turne
:
and
a
little
before
you
turne
him
,
holde
your
rodde
on
the
contrarie
side
,
whereby
hee
shall
knowe
on
what
side
to
turne
,
and
at
the
stop
make
him
to
aduance
,
either
with
voice
,
rod
or
spurre
,
alwaies
remembring
to
giue
breath
,
and
euermore
beginne
with
a
gentle
gallop
,
vntill
he
be
verie
perfect
,
and
then
time
will
bring
him
to
a
perfect
and
swift
manage
:
but
I
wish
you
so
to
vse
&
exercise
your
horse
,
as
when
hee
is
become
a
perfect
Horse
,
you
may
long
be
maister
of
a
perfect
Horse
,
and
not
to
spend
or
spoile
him
in
a
little
time
,
in
teaching
of
him
needelesse
toyes
.
There
might
be
much
more
spoken
of
helpes
and
corrections
in
managing
,
but
because
they
are
proper
to
Iades
,
or
else
to
horses
that
are
euill
taught
,
I
omit
them
:
for
if
your
horse
be
such
as
he
ought
,
&
your selfe
temperate
and
discreete
(
otherwise
I
wish
you
not
to
professe
your selfe
a
Horseman
)
you
shall
heerein
finde
sufficient
.
After
your
Horse
is
perfect
in
such
lessons
as
haue
beene
formerlye
remembred
,
Cariere
.
and
growen
to
his
full
and
perfect
strength
,
hauing
learned
al
his
lessons
without
swift
gallop
,
and
therein
so
ready
as
may
be
wished
,
then
beginne
with
him
with
a
short
Cariere
,
in
a
faire
sandie
way
,
&
with
a
liuely
voice
put
him
forward
,
forcing
him
to
runne
swiftlye
;
roundly
,
&
smothely
,
with
a
steady
head
,
and
lightly
to
stop
him selfe
on
his
buttocks
;
then
turne
him
on
the
left
hand
,
&
softly
pace
him
to
the
other
end
of
the
Cariere
path
,
and
there
stop
him
and
turne
him
againe
on
the
right
hand
,
and
so
leaue
.
And
as
this
passing
a
cariere
or
swift
gallop
,
must
neuer
bee
done
or
taught
,
vntill
hee
be
moste
perfect
in
all
the
lessons
,
so
must
it
be
done
verie
sparingly
,
as
once
or
twice
in
a
month
at
the
moste
,
so
shall
hee
doe
all
things
with
admiration
,
and
of
long
continuance
.

Bound
and
Leape
.
SOme
haue
a
desire
to
haue
their
Horses
to
bound
,
leape
and
yarke
,
and
because
I
know
it
would
be
most
exactly
done
,
which
cannot
bee
but
by
the
best
spirited
Horses
,
tending
altogether
to
their
destruction
,
and
a
matter
rather
of
delight
,
then
good
vse
,
I
leaue
it
to
the
disposition
of
the
owner
,
wishing
much
rather
to
haue
it
omitted
then
practised
,
vnlesse
there
were
more
plentie
of
Horses
that
are
meete
for
the
same
.
CHAP.
55.
Of
the
Capriole
and
Ooruetti
.
THe
difference
betwixt
these
twois
,
that
the
Capriole
or
Goates
leap
is
alwaies
in
going
forward
,
and
the
Ctorueti
still
in
one
place
:
these
are
to
be
learned
&
taught
by
one
order
,
but
neither
of
them
shall
euer
be
well
learned
and
exactly
done
,
vnlesse
your
horse
be
very
perfect
to
stoppe
,
which
is
by
much
bending
the
elbough
of
the
hinder
houghes
or
heeles
of
the
horse
:
now
the
Coruetti
may
in
some
sort
resemble
the
dauncing
of
the
Beare
at
a
stake
;
for
when
he
daunceth
and
praunceth
vp
and
downe
in
one
place
,
lifting
his
forefeete
euen
and
iust
together
,
seeming
to
turne
if
he
might
be
suffred
,
that
is
properly
the
coruet
,
the
which
is
neuer
well
done
,
vnlesse
he
bee
iust
and
steadie
of
head
,
and
body
,
bowing
the
hammes
of
his
hinder
legs
,
as
if
hee
would
sitt
or
slide
on
his
buttocks
.
And
the
Capriole
is
in
the
same
manner
yet
still
going
forward
,
seeming
as
though
he
wold
yark
behinde
by
aduancing
his
rump
,
but
doth
not
:
and
as
hee
doth
it
forward
,
so
will
he
doe
it
backward
and
side-long
.
Now
you
are
not
to
teach
your
horse
either
of
these
,
vntil
he
be
absolutely
perfect
in
those
former
lessons
before
mentioned
,
because
these
lessons
before
mentioned
,
because
these
lessous
are
only
learned
by
stopping
&
aduancing
,
the
which
if
he
haue
once
perfectly
&
long
practised
,
then
trot
him
for
diuers
daies
vpon
some
hanging
ground
:
&
vpon
the
knole
of
the
hill
on
the
same
ground
,
make
him
to
aduance
twice
together
,
the
which
he
will
very
quickly
do
;
then
help
him
with
the
sound
of
your
lips
,
to
trot
two
paces
farther
,
and
there
to
stop
and
aduance
twice
together
at
the
end
of
the
two
paces
all
the
length
of
a
hanging
hill
downeward
,
remembring
euermore
to
cherish
him
when
he
doth
well
,
and
to
giue
breath
,
that
all
his
doings
may
be
done
with
delight
,
otherwise
he
will
neuer
do
it
worthy
commendations
;
and
by
this
vsing
of
him
,
you
shall
haue
him
within
a
little
time
at
euery
time
that
he
stoppeth
&
aduanceth
,
if
you
helpe
him
with
your
word
in
saying
hup
,
and
with
your
rod
by
striking
him
vpon
the
forepart
of
his
shoulder
;
and
in
his
well
dooing
thereof
make
much
of
him
,
he
will
go
from
stop
to
stop
,
aduancing
both
forefeet
and
hinder
loynes
with
time
&
measure
so
oft
as
you
wil
,
and
in
such
iust
,
euen
and
staid
manner
,
as
wil
be
very
delightfull
ro
beholde
,
Now
because
I
would
not
haue
you
begin
any
lesson
,
but
by
the
direction
of
a
perfect
schoolemaister
,
and
in
that
course
to
continue
,
so
must
you
endeauour
your selfe
to
know
the
reason
of
all
your
doings
,
and
therefore
be
sure
to
be
alwaies
present
at
the
excercises
of
the
most
skilfull
Horsemen
,
and
as
Salomon
saith
,
let
your
foote
tread
often
vppon
their
threshold
,
read
the
best
writers
,
and
when
you
are
able
to
iudge
truly
,
and
to
make
difference
betwixt
good
and
bad
,
make
asmuch
practise
as
you
may
,
and
then
neuer
doubt
to
become
a
perfect
Horseman
,
and
be
able
to
teach
your
Horse
whatsoeuer
is
fit
for
a
Horse
to
doe
,
and
a
man
to
knowe
.
And
if
I
should
now
discribe
the
forme
and
fashion
of
all
manner
of
bitts
,
I
thinke
it
needelesse
,
for
two
respects
:
First
for
that
Laurentius
Rusius
,
in
his
booke
written
in
latten
,
intituled
with
the
Greeke
word
Hyppoateia
,
signifying
the
medicine
or
cures
for
Horses
,
as
also
Maister
Blundeuile
in
his
booke
,
&
diuers
others
haue
verie
painefullye
performed
the
same
.
When
you
shall
knowe
the
perfect
shape
of
good
Horses
,
and
the
perfection
of
the
true
knowledg
of
their
nature
,
in
this
treatise
most
plainly
described
,
you
wil
acknowledge
the
multitude
&
variety
of
bits
,
not
to
be
of
any
vse
,
&
besides
,
hauing
diuers
good
Bit-makers
within
this
kingdome
,
who
can
exactly
make
as
many
perfect
bits
as
art
can
require
,
I
haue
thought
fit
heere
to
rest
,
and
not
to
make
volumnes
of
needles
matter
.
Nulla

Gentle
Reader
,
thou
seest
how
briefely
I
haue
entreated
of
the
Art
of
riding
,
and
yet
I
doubt
not
but
sufficient
to
the
vnderstanding
Reader
,
And
much
better
then
teadiousnes
to
a
young
Scholler
:
But
whosoeuer
he
be
that
desireth
to
be
a
perfect
rider
,
and
a
good
Horseman
,
must
labour
and
studie
to
attaine
the
true
knowledge
of
nature
,
because
nature
&
Art
are
ioynt
pattentees
with
practise
,
without
which
it
is
impossible
to
attaine
to
perfection
in
either
,
so
must
hee
also
abandon
the
studye
and
practise
of
apish
toies
,
and
violent
helpes
:
I
knowe
,
Non

Euerie

is
not
fitte
for
euerie

nor
euerie

for
euerie

,
nor
euerie
Horse
for
the
saddle
:

not

,
neither

.
Let
me
without
offence
putyou
in
minde
of
that
famous
and
worthy
ryder
M.
Fredericke
Grison
,
and
others
whose
workes
of
ryding
(
if
without
affection
)
they
be
read
and
digested
,
there
will
apeare
therein
a
perfect
picture
of
ignorance
,
in
the
true
knowledge
of
naturall
causes
,
or
at
least
the
reiecting
of
the
force
thereof
,
which
no
doubt
caused
him
and
them
to
publish
so
many
needeles
,
forced
,
fond
,
and
friuolous
helpes
for
the
perfection
of
riding
,
and
to
set
foorth
in
number
Fifty
seuerall
formes
and
fashions
of
bits
,
thereby
to
perswade
,
that
art
can
perfect
the
imperfections
of
Nature
,
wherein
there
is
not
any
truth
,
more
manifest
,
then
his
and
their
imperfection
in
true
iudgement
.
And
yet
who
seeth
not
,
that
the
Byas
of
mens
consent
hath
drawne
the
same
to
be
applauded
and
practised
of
all
horsemen
,
in
all
nations
,
and
beleeued
as
an
Oracle
from
a
deuine
power
.
I
do
entertaine
,
&
reuerently
esteeme
the
most
of
his

and
rules
of

,
and
account
not
any
to

but
to
set
foorth
so
many
&
infinite
helpes
and

,
onely
proper
and
peculier
for
Iades
,
whome
all
art
,
knowledge
,
and

of
man
shall
neuer
perfect
with
continuance
,
cannot
but
manifest
a
weake
iudgement
,
and
palpable
ignorance
of
nature
;
and
therefore
all
must
acknowledge
,
that
euery
man
by
nature
,
is
the
obiect
of
change
.
A
tree
,
the
fruite
whereof
is
neuer
ripe
but
in
the
latter
season
,
his
nature
cannot
easily
be
discerned
whiles
it
is
greene
:
you
must
see
the
bud
,
the
blossome
and
the
fruite
,
before
you
can
iudge
,
Ildi

it
is
the

comend

,
saith
the
Italian
,
and
so
must
you
clense
and
grinde
the
corne
before
you
can
eatit
,
&
then
no
doubt
,
shal
our
virtue
grounded
vpon
rules
of
reason
,
pursue
&
effect
that
which
our
fate
hath
promised
,
Inueniet

she
will
either
finde
a
way
,
or
make
one
:
for
God
dooth
nothing
that
concerneth
vs
without

,
were
it
not
then
a
Star
of
merrit
for
euery
man
to
giue
his
thoughts
a
stronger
wing
to
flie
,
with
petition
to
our
most
sacred
Soueraigne
for
the
placing
and
planting
within
euery
shire
and
county
of
his
kingdomes
,
a
sufficient
vnderstanding
ryder
?
But
alas
,
who
seeth
not
,
that
the
best
enterprise
is
blasted
in
the
blossome
,
by
a
sinister
and
scandalous
perswasion
?
and
yet
I
am
assured

And
therefore
I
do
wish
the

The
causes
of
sicknesse
and
death
:
in
the
true
knowledge
whereof
consisteth
their
preseruation
.
WHen
I
had
learned
the
double
consideration
of
nature
.
Frst
in
the
incorrupt
state
and
puritie
of
creation
.
Secondlye
in
the
degenerated
condition
of
corruption
,
I
could
not
finde
the
least
iarre
and
disagreement
in
the
primarie
nature
of
Horses
,
though
compounded
of
the
contrarie
natures
of
the
foure
elements
:
but
as
an
vndefiled
nature
tempered
by
proportion
,
without
the
least
discord
,
but
after
mans
pride
had
broached
the
deuils
suggestion
by
the
taste
of
the
forbidden
fruite
,
then
appeared
the
Rebellion
of
the
elements
in
all
creatures
,
since
which
time
there
is
not
found
a
difference
of
any
other
cause
of
their
diseases
.
But
to
leaue
the
testimonies
of
long
experience
,
let
vs
proceede
to
shew
the
truth
heere
of
more
particular
,
&
to
know
that
the
first
cause
of
naturall
diseases
and
death
of
all
horses
is
contrarietie
of
the
elements
in
the
compound
:
for
all
corruption
presupposing
alteration
,
which
is
onely
betwixt
,
and
by
meanes
of
contrarie
qualities
,
contrarietie
of
the
inherent
qualities
(
beeing
the
onelye
cause
of
alteration
)
is
also
cause
of
the
compound
corruption
:
for
our
experience
telleth
vs
,
that
those
things
wherein
are
left
disagreement
,
are
of
longest
continuance
,
&
so
the
inherence
of
contrariety
,
one
speciall
cause
of
the
horses
dissolution
;
the
reason
is
,
for
that
their
bodies
consisting
of
the
euer-●arring
elements
,
Fire
Ayre
,
Water
and
earth
,
haue
alwaies
an
vnresistable
home-bred
cause
of
dissolution
.
For
by
consent
of
Philosophers
,
and
reason
it selfe
setteth
downe
(
as
an
vndeniable
truth
)
that
safetie
from
diseases
,
Wherein
health
of
horses
consisteth
.
&
the
life
of
horses
,
&
the
chief
maintenance
therof
(
consisteth
principally
)
if
not
wholy
,
in
the
due
and
iust
proportionall
temperature
of
the
foure
first
qualities
,
heate
,
colde
,
drynesse
&
moisture
,
and
til
their
disproportion
there
is
no
danger
of
sicknesse
or
anye
growing
death
:
What
is
sickenes
.
for
sicknesse
cannot
bee
defined
other
then
the
disproportion
of
those
foure
qualities
,
whereby
the
part
whereunto
the
same
is
incident
,
is
disabled
to
performe
his
naturall
function
,
so
as
the
disproportion
of
the
foure
first
qualities
,
&
their
swaruing
from
their
iust
temperature
,
is
the
cause
of
the
horses
dissolution
,
wherby
in
euerie
horse
we
see
a
declining
from
his
ingrafted
Nature
,
The
cause
of
their
dissolution
.
which
increaseth
according
as
his
age
altereth
,
and
therefore
his
dissolution
cannot
bee
auoided
:
but
Nature
,
like
a
kinde
mother
is
neuer
wanting
to
the
necessities
of
her
ofspring
,
and
therefore
hath
bestowed
on
the
horse
a
facultie
to
restore
that
disabled
part
of
sickenesse
through
the
assimulation
of
nourishment
applyed
thereunto
,
least
there
should
follow
a
suddaine
destruction
,
against
which
I
doubt
may
bee
propounded
,
viz.
If
there
may
bee
restitution
of
the
part
disabled
whence
commeth
death
the
end
of
Nature
?
To
which
I
answere
,
that
the
impurity
of
that
supply
,
for
the
restoring
of
that
outward
part
,
by
degrees
tainteth
that
perfection
of
the
restitution
,
and
by
a
continuall
mixture
,
at
length
corrupteth
it
,
for
as
in
the
mingling
of
water
with
wine
,
the
greater
the
infusion
of
water
is
,
the
more
is
the
infeebling
of
the
wines
force
,
till
at
length
it
be
cleane
opressed
and
extinguished
;
so
is
it
in
the
case
of
restitution
of
health
,
wherein
though
at
first
the
naturall
meanes
retaine
their
puritie
and
naturall
qualitie
,
yet
at
length
by
the
continuall
mixture
,
there
followeth
a
totall
and
perfect
corruption
of
the
integritie
,
for
if
by
the
restoratiue
facultie
,
there
could
be
a
perfecte
supply
of
that
which
was
lost
,
the
Horse
might
for
any
impediment
in
nature
bee
preserued
in
perpetuall
health
,
for
as
the
mediocrity
and
puritie
of
oyle
,
dooth
preserue
the
light
of
the
Lampe
,
so
too
much
thereof
,
or
a
little
water
being
contrary
in
qualitie
,
dooth
quench
the
same
;
euen
so
,
if
the
faculty
that
doth
restore
the
disabled
parte
of
the
Horse
,
be
either
too
much
or
any
way
impure
,
it
dooth
little
auaile
to
perfect
restitution
to
the
disabled
part
:
and
although
the
same
be
pure
,
yet
shall
it
taint
the
perfection
of
restitution
,
and
in
the
end
by
a
continuall
languishing
,
be
cleane
consumed
by
a
home-bred
enemie
,
where
by
little
and
little
it
spoyleth
him
of
perfection
of
restitution
.
Against
which
,
it
may
be
also
replied
,
that
not-withstanding
the
imperfection
of
restitution
,
yet
there
maie
be
an
endurance
,
and
perpetuall
preseruation
of
the
species
or
kinde
of
horse
,
because
they
haue
a
facultie
of
procreation
,
to
propagate
their
kinde
,
that
though
euerie
horse
of
necessitie
must
dye
,
yet
may
he
leaue
another
of
his
owne
kinde
,
of
as
great
perfection
behinde
him
,
wherby
there
might
be
a
continnall
and
euerlasting
succession
.
To
this
I
answere
,
that
if
a
corruption
be
graunted
in
the
particuler
,
it
followeth
(
a
rule
in
reason
)
to
graunt
it
in
the
species
,
for
the
species
being
a
thing
existent
onely
in
imagination
,
not
hauing
any
euill
being
,
but
as
it
is
conceiued
of
in
the
particulers
,
the
like
must
be
concluded
of
in
the
general
:
but
to
shew
it
by
a
demonstratiue
proceeding
,
let
vs
obserue
the
like
course
of
the
decay
in
the
species
,
as
there
is
in
the
indiuidium
:
for
as
the
facultie
of
restitution
is
to
the
particular
,
so
is
generation
to
the
species
,
in
case
of
preseruation
;
for
as
the
restitution
of
the
part
disabled
,
the
supply
is
not
so
pure
as
that
which
was
lost
;
Note
.
The
reason
why
Horses
are
not
of
so
long
continuance
as
in
former
time
.
the
particulers
decaying
by
little
&
little
,
are
at
last
consumed
,
euen
so
by
procreation
the
maintenance
of
the
species
,
and
the
puritie
of
the
part
disabled
,
being
by
degrees
and
by
time
diminished
,
at
length
there
followeth
euen
of
necessitie
an
absolute
corruption
;
by
reason
that
the
particulars
,
whose
function
the
generation
is
,
being
by
continuance
of
outward
nourishment
corrupted
;
the
seede
,
the
matter
,
and
meanes
of
propagation
cannot
but
be
tainted
with
like
corruption
:
and
this
is
a
chiefe
reason
why
Horses
are
not
so
health-full
,
but
of
lesse
continuance
then
they
were
in
the
first
creation
,
like
as
the
diuision
of
any
thing
finite
,
that
by
often
detraction
,
though
but
of
little
quantitie
,
the
whole
becommeth
at
length
vncapable
of
diuision
,
so
by
continual
wasting
of
the
kinde
,
there
followeth
at
length
euen
of
necessitie
a
totall
and
inuincible
extinguishing
:
from
whence
I
conclude
,
that
it
is
vnpossible
for
horses
to
be
of
such
perfection
of
excellencie
,
as
in
their
primarie
creation
,
or
to
last
and
continue
without
diseases
and
death
,
hauing
inwardly
in
their
nature
,
sufficient
and
vnpreuentable
causes
of
dissolution
.
Hauing
thus
euidenced
the
truth
of
these
two
positions
of
diseases
and
death
,
and
that
there
is
a
time
of
endurance
vnto
euerie
particular
horse
,
and
vnto
the
whole
kinde
;
and
learning
by
experience
(
the
naturall
and
true
mother
of
knowledge
)
that
among
the
particulars
there
are
differences
in
nature
of
diseases
and
death
,
both
in
length
and
shortnesse
of
time
in
continuance
,
it
remaineth
that
I
set
down
the
causes
of
this
naturall
difference
,
which
cannot
be
done
,
other
then
by
propounding
the
receiued
causes
of
the
length
and
shortnesse
thereof
,
according
as
they
are
more
or
lesse
in
the
Horse
:
and
so
iudge
of
the
effects

CHAP.
58.
The
causes
of
long
life
.
IT
is
euident
,
that
all
Horses
that
were
neerest
vnto
the
beginning
,
were
clearer
&
lesse
tainted
with
corruption
,
&
therefore
in
this
last
age
of
the
world
,
they
are
in
a
more
extreame
degree
of
corruption
,
by
reason
of
that
frequent
alteration
in
the
elements
,
when
euery
mutation
addeth
something
to
the
begun
impuritie
.
Now
touching
the
causes
of
long
life
,
I
wil
briefly
discotomise
them
,
because
they
are
either
-
Inward
,
or
-
Outward
.
The
inward
causes
are
either
naturally
engrafted
or
obtained
by
-
Arte.
-
Industrie
,
and
-
Wisdome
.
Now
that
which
is
naturall
,
is
of
necessity
in
the
good
temperature
&
proportionate
mixture
of
the
foure
first
qualities
in
the
body
.
For
heate
that
is
vnproportionate
to
the
quantitie
of
moisture
,
rather
hastneth
death
,
by
the
too
speedy
consumption
of
his
moiste
foode
,
then
any
way
prolongeth
life
.
So
also
too
great
cold
that
ouerswayeth
the
quantitie
and
vertue
of
naturall
heate
,
shortneth
life
:
and
so
likewise
it
may
be
said
of
the
excesse
of
the
other
two
contrarie
qualities
,
moisture
and
drought
:
for
too
much
moisture
oppresseth
the
naturall
heate
;
as
wee
see
greene
wood
quench
an
vnequall
quantitie
of
fire
:
so
that
the
good
and
iust
proportion
of
temperate
mixture
are
true
causes
of
long
life
,
for
all
mixture
of
superstuities
is
against
these
three
:
-
1.
Nature
.
-
2.
Enemie
to
good
digestion
.
-
3.
And
found
Nutrition
.
The
first
cause
Temperature
is
a
firme
and
standing
habit
of
the
body
.
Now
if
it
be
demaunded
what
this
iust
proportion
is
,
and
when
they
are
truelye
tempered
,
so
as
may
be
best
auaileable
for
long
life
?
the
answere
is
,
that
heate
and
moisture
are
then
well
proportioned
when
neither
the
moisture
with
his
too
greate
quantitie
,
deuoureth
the
heate
,
nor
the
ouermuch
heat
too
suddenly
consumeth
and
eateth
vp
the
moisture
:
yet
must
the
heate
haue
a
kinde
of
dominion
ouer
the
moisture
,
else
it
cannot
bee
able
to
nourish
the
body
.
For
in
nutrition
,
the
thing
nourished
by
reason
of
the
instrument
ordained
for
that
purpose
,
must
actually
work
vpon
that
wherby
it
is
nourished
:
&
because
that
euerie
agent
must
be
proportioned
vnto
the
patient
in
the
equalitie
of
excesse
,
therefore
must
the
heate
,
being
the
vegetatiue
soules
actiue
instrument
of
Nutrition
,
haue
dominion
ouer
the
moisture
,
the
subiect
matter
of
that
facultie
.
The
second
cause
The
second
cause
of
long
life
,
is
the
moderation
of
their
naturall
appetite
of
eating
,
being
auaileable
,
either
in
excesse
to
kill
,
or
in
moderation
to
saue
,
by
which
moderation
,
the
horse
shal
daily
repaire
the
decay
of
his
humidity
by
supply
of
moderate
nourishment
,
and
neuer
ouerwhelme
his
heat
with
aboundance
of
moisture
,
neither
mingle
his
radicall
moisture
with
too
much
superfluous
impurities
;
for
the
extreames
are
dangerous
,
both
excesse
&
defect
:
to
much
eating
,
hindering
good
digestion
,
and
ingendering
crudities
;
&
to
little
eating
,
giuing
occasion
of
the
heats
too
suddaine
preuailing
ouer
the
moisture
,
both
which
are
friends
to
sicknes
and
death
.
The
third
cause
:
The
third
cause
of
long
life
is
moderate
labour
,
a
thing
very
auaileable
to
digestion
,
dispersing
the
nourishment
into
the
parts
of
the
bodie
;
and
as
a
bellowes
to
kindle
and
reuiue
their
natural
heat
:
for
ouer●●●h
rest
,
by
excesse
of
humors
,
cooleth
the
bodie
.
And
as
the
elementish
fires
which
wee
vse
,
vnlesse
it
be
sometime
blowne
and
fed
as
it
were
with
aire
(
which
in
naturall
qualitie
is
moist
)
is
extinguished
,
so
their
naturall
heat
without
moderate
labour
and
excercise
,
is
after
a
sort
cast
a
sleepe
,
or
rather
benummed
:
whence
proceedeth
that
other
daughter
of
dulnes
(
collection
of
excrementall
superfluities
)
their
heat
not
being
able
to
digest
their
receiued
nourishment
;
and
thence
commeth
their
many
corruptions
,
and
sincke
of
vnnatural
humors
,
as
we
see
standing
water
soonest
putrifie
and
gather
filth
.
And
therefore
beware
to
trauell
Horses
before
they
haue
thoroughly
digested
their
meat
,
for
thereby
they
clog
their
stomackes
,
and
make
them
vnfit
after
concoction
,
and
withall
fill
their
bodies
with
ouer
rawe
humors
,
which
by
excercise
are
dispersed
thorough
the
veines
,
into
all
the
partes
of
the
bodie
.
And
therefore
neither
too
much
labour
,
neither
to
vehement
nor
yet
continual
,
for
these
by
consuming
of
the
spirits
,
are
like
hurtfull
;
neither
too
little
,
for
continued
rest
and
idlenes
engender
putrifaction
.
The
fourth
cause
of
long
life
.
The
fourth
cause
of
long
life
,
is
moderate
vse
of
sleepe
and
waking
,
for
they
are
the
maintenance
of
life
in
their
mediocritie
,
and
both
hurtful
if
beyond
measure
;
for
the
immoderat
watching
wasteth
the
spirits
,
and
consumeth
the
vitall
iuice
;
causes
leannes
,
hindereth
the
operation
of
the
sence
,
and
dryeth
the
marrowe
&
the
braine
,
and
the
moderate
sleepe
hindereth
health
,
dulleth
the
naturall
heate
,
and
consumeth
the
moisture
:
and
sleepe
is
but
a
vapour
ascending
from
the
stomacke
to
the
braine
,
which
benummeth
the
braine
for
a
time
,
and
keepeth
the
bodie
sencelesse
,
and
the
sooner
and
more
prouoked
by
full
feeding
.
The
fift
cause
;
The
fift
cause
of
long
life
,
is
to
keep
a
Horse
from
excessiue
spending
himselfe
vppon
Mares
,
for
it
is
deaths
best
harbinger
,
for
it
wasteth
the
spirits
,
weakeneth
the
stomacke
,
and
dryeth
vp
the
braine
and
marrowe
,
and
therefore
the
reason
why
a
Mule
,
being
a
mixt
creature
,
begotten
betwixt
a
Horse
and
an
Asse
,
is
longer
liued
then
either
of
them
,
is
for
that
his
iusting
in
that
kinde
is
but
once
onely
in
the
whole
course
of
his
life
.
The
sixt
cause
of
long
life
,
The
sixt
cause
is
moderate
riding
in
long
iournies
,
for
by
the
immoderat
emission
of
heat
into
the
outward
parts
of
the
body
,
it
kindleth
the
fire
of
cholor
,
which
being
vehement
,
is
an
horror
vnto
nature
,
and
inflameth
the
blood
,
so
as
if
the
Horse
at
that
instance
be
not
very
empty
and
cleane
,
in
the
body
,
the
blood
and
humors
being
mingled
together
,
are
through
the
violence
thereof
,
dispersed
into
all
the
parts
of
the
bodie
,
and
then
a
suden
colde
taken
vppon
it
(
which
seldome
escapeth
)
the
same
dooth
presently
putrifie
the
blood
,
and
congealeth
it
to
the
in●uitable
danger
of
the
Horse
.
The
seuenth
cause
:
The
seauenth
cause
is
wholesomnesse
of
ayre
,
and
soile
,
cleane
keeping
,
the
stable
sweete
;
cleane
,
olde
and
dry
meat
:
when
he
is
in
the
stable
,
dressing
him
in
some
shed
out
of
the
stable
,
that
the
filth
of
his
bodie
do
not
come
neere
his
manger
,
neither
stinking
litter
lying
vnder
the
manger
,
continually
fuming
vp
to
his
head
,
neither
euill
sauour
neere
to
the
stable
.
The
eight
cause
is
,
The
eight
cause
.
not
to
trauell
or
labour
a
Horse
that
is
taken
from
grasse
,
vntill
he
be
purged
and
clensed
from
his
superfluous
humors
,
which
he
hath
gathered
at
grasse
in
the
time
of
his
rest
and
full
feeding
,
the
which
being
many
,
by
his
trauell
and
heat
,
will
by
the
veynes
be
dispersed
into
all
the
parts
of
the
bodie
,
which
afterwards
cannot
be
taken
away
without
great
perrill
;
and
when
hee
is
made
cleane
,
he
will
draw
his
breath
long
,
and
be
cleane
and
empty
betwixt
his
Iawes
,
without
any
impostumation
,
The
ninth
cause
:
knob
,
or
kirnell
.
The
ninth
cause
is
,
to
keepe
the
Horse
whiles
hee
feedeth
in
the
stable
,
from
all
rawe
and
greene
meat
,
the
mother
of
many
vnnatural
humors
,
and
the
nurse
of
many
inward
diseases
,
proceeding
from
the
aboundance
thereof
,
and
the
corruption
of
blood
.
The
tenth
cause
is
,
The
tenth
cause
.
to
keeep
the
Horse
from
eating
and
drinking
,
whiles
he
is
hotte
,
for
that
weakeneth
the
hearte
and
spirits
,
hindereth
appetite
,
and
maketh
digestion
vnperfect
,
and
often
times
present
death
.
The
cleuenth
cause
is
neither
to
wash
nor
walke
him
after
trauell
and
labour
,
The
eleuenth
cause
:
but
to
set
him
in
the
stable
,
warme
clothed
and
painefully
rubbed
and
dryed
,
and
if
necessitie
inforce
,
to
wash
his
legs
with
beere
and
butter
,
or
dish
water
,
or
beefe
broth
made
warme
,
and
clense
,
cleere
,
and
rub
them
thoroughly
,
both
cleane
and
dry
,
and
litter
him
with
plenty
of
sweete
strawe
,
and
if
he
haue
not
drunke
in
the
time
of
his
trauell
,
then
when
he
is
colde
,
and
has
well
eaten
,
giue
him
warme
water
to
drinke
with
a
little
Malte
,
Meale
,
or
Bran.
The
twelfth
&
last
cause
of
long
life
,
is
,
The
twelfth
cause
.
to
put
often
times
into
his
prouender
,
the
powder
of
Anniseeds
,
Licorish
,

from
all
inward

.
Thus
hauing
briefely
set
downe
the
inward
causes
of
long
life
,
wherout
you
may
deduce
the
contraries
,
sicknes
and
short
life
,
for
such
is
the
disposition
of
Horses
,
and
of
all
creatures
bodies
,
that
by
the
continuall
combat
and
enterchangeable
dominion
of
the
euer-iarring
elements
,
they
often
change
their
primary
constitution
,
so
that
if
there
were
no
cause
of
transmutation
,
which
notwithstanding
are
many
and
manifolde
,
yet
hauing
that
home-bred
cause
within
them
,
that
would
in
time
alter
their
temperature
;
for
we
see
,
the
same
bodies
in
youth
and
old
age
,
diuersly
tempered
euen
by
the
variation
of
their
originall
constitution
,
and
the
infallible
cause
of
their
diuersitie
and
difference
,
although
many
times
not
the
onely
cause
,
but
that
onely
which
proceedeth
from
the
inward
ingendred
cause
of
destruction
,
thorough
some
accidental
,
immoderate
contingent
or
vnnaturall
action
,
which
sometime
happeneth
in
their
full
strength
and
perfection
,
for
that
which
is
onely
naturall
,
neuer
passeth
from
one
extreame
vnto
another
,
Aristotle
in
his
tripertite
diuision
of
ages
.
but
by
the
meane
.
And
although
experience
(
the
naturall
and
true
mother
of

)
&

,
the
mother
of
truth
,
who
euermore
bringeth
her
owne

to

,
approoue
the
contrariety
of
the
inherent
qualities
of
heat
,
colde
,
drynes
,
&
moisture
,
the
onely
causes
of
inward

,
and

vnperceiueable
lingering
thereof

the
principle
cause
of

vntimely
death
;
knowing
a
successiue
impairing
alwaies
,
importeth
a
small
dissolution
,
so
that
the
preuention
of
the
extremity
,
and
suppressing
the
dominion
of
the
contraries
,
there
is
not
so
much
as
an
apparance
of
their
perpetuitie
:
yet
who
is
he
that
seeth
his
Horses
enioy
but
a
small
perfection
of
health
,
doth
not
possesse
himselfe
with
the
forgetfulnesse
thereof
,
and
of
their
mortalitie
?
whence
you
see
how
farre
they
wrong
their
sences
,
and
themselues
from
iudgement
,
standing
stil
to
beholde
the
execution
of
doubtfull
issues
,
neuer
remembring
that
as
from
the
firmest

,
doe
spring
the
greatest

,
so
from

the
deadliest
maladies
.
Therefore
qui

rei
praestat
,
is
remprestare
videtur
,
he
that
preuenteth
the
cause
of
sicknesse
,
preuenteth
the
sicknes
it selfe
:
&
it
is
not
better
,
occurrere
malo
quam
postea
remedium
querere
,
to
preuent
the
disease
,
then
afterwardes
to
seeke
remedie
for
the
disease
,
but
how
a
perfect
order
and

should
consist
in
these
disioyned
subiectes
,
vnlesse
the

causes
there
of

bene
formerly
expressed
,
(
without
begetting
error
the
childe
of

)
extendeth
beyond

It
therefore
remaineth
how
to
cure
those

The
meanes
to
helpe
and
preserue
horses
from
the
inward
diseases
.
THere
are
foure
waies
or
meanes
to
preserue
and
keepe
horses
from
their
inward
diseases
,
viz.
purging
,
sweating
letting
blood
,
and
vomiting
,
whereof
in
order
.
First
of
purging
,
which
may
bee
saide
two-folde
,
outward
&
inward
:
the
time
of
purging
or
clensing
,
the
outward
parts
must
be
presently
after
the
taking
of
the
horse
from
Grasse
into
the
stable
,
which
euer
wold
be
at
or
before
the
feast
of
Saint
Bartholmew
,
by
reason
of
the
great
moistnes
and
colde
that
then
vsually
happen
,
&
to
be
taken
vp
very
gently
for
fear
of
heating
of
him
,
least
his
humors
thereby
should
be
dissolued
by
the
veines
and
Arteries
into
euerie
part
of
the
body
:
and
that
euery
horse
at
such
times
are
ful
of
humors
,
appeareth
in
the
best
spirited
horses

if
you
then
perceiue
their
actions
,
how
lubburish
and
heauily
they
performe
the
same
at
such
times
.
The

First

by
this
means
you

twice

one
pinte
,
boile
them
againe
,
then
straine
it
and
giue
it
him
verie
warme
to
drinke
.
The
charge
heere
of
is
small
,
you
may
make
what
quantity
you
will
,
by
doubling
or
trebling
the
simples
.
If
you
haue
a
delicate
Horse
and
haue
cleared
him
&
dieted
him
,
as
I
haue
prescribed
,
then
euery
morning
that
you
will
hunt
him
,
or
excercise
him
,
giue
him
fasting
a
pinte
heereof
,
and
so
continue
him
vntil
you
finde
him
cleane
,
&
in
perfect
breath
,
and
then
the
moderate
excercise
of
him
wil
be
sufficient
to
keepe
him
cleane
.
The
reasons
why
the
Horse
should
be
thus
clensed
and
cleared
after
long
rest
and
full
feeding
,
are
,
First
the
pores
of
all
the
skinne
being
opened
,
the
Horse
will
easily
sweate
,
and
therebye
cleere
the
body
from
the
vnperfect
moisture
.
Secondly
,
it
maketh
the
whole
body
to
receiue
Ayre
,
(
which
of
it selfe
is
naturally
moiste
)
to
helpe
to
coole
the
burning
&
violent
heate
of
the
heart
,
and
of
the
other
members
,
when
the
Horse
doth
labour
,
as
appeareth
by
the
office
of
the
lungs
,
which
as
a
paire
of
bellowes
dooth
continuallye
drawe
fresh
Ayre
vnto
the
same
,
filling
all
the
emptie
corners
with
moistnes
,
and
therefore
the
Lungs
,
most
principally
ought
to
be
kept
cleere
,
to
draw
breath
to
coole
the
same
,
and
that
is
the
reason
why
Horses
are
broken
winded
,
because
the
lungs
are
vnperfect
to
doe
their
office
:
and
likewise
the
reason
why
broken
winded
Horses
when
they
are
kept
at
drie
meate
,
doe
drawe
their
breath
much
more
shorter
,
and
with
more
violence
then
when
they
goe
to
Grasse
,
because
grasse
is
naturally
colde
and
moist
,
and
thereby
his
heart
being
more
colde
,
the
Horse
draweth
his
breath
more
at
length
:
but
if
the
Horse
be
cleare
,
emptie
,
and
sound
in
the
body
,
then
doth
he
alwaies
draw
his
breath
alike
,
and
so
doth
euery
other
creature
also
,
from
which
ground
of
reason
,
three
things
may
be
collected
&
obserued
.
The
first
is
,
that
the
horse
head
bee
kept
verie
cleare
from
all
obstructions
,
(
the
which
euermore
commeth
by
colde
)
which
greatlie
hindereth
drawing
breath
into
the
body
:
Secondly
that
the
skinne
of
the
Horse
be
kept
cleare
and
open
to
draw
breath
,
at
the
pores
of
the
skinne
into
the
body
.
Thirdlye
,
that
Canales
Pulmonis
,
the
pipes
or
Canes
of
the
Lungs
,
bee
not
opilated
or
stopped
throgh
viscous
fleame
or
tough
humors
like
bird-lime
,
or
with
impostumation
in
the
pipes
,
and
so
become
putrified
:
euerie
of
which
with
continuance
thereof
,
will
destroy
the
horse
:
&
there
is
no
truth
more
apparant
then
that
the
causes
of
all
these
inward
corruptions
and
infirmities
proceede
onely
from
great
rest
,
full
and
foule
feeding
,
and
the
distemperatures
of
heate
and
colde
;
&
that
by
the
taking
away
of
these
causes
,
such
effects
cannot
follow
:
so
as
you
see
the
preseruation
of
health
and
long
life
,
is
the
moderate
and
temperate
labour
and
exercise
,
the
spare
,
cleane
and
sweete
foode
,
as
hath
bene
formerly
expressed
.
CHAP.
62.
Certaine
rules
to
be
obserued
by
such
as
shall
either
trauell
or
exercise
their
horses
.
FIrst
,
when
your
Horse
is
lustie
and
pleasant
,
and
cleere
in
bodye
,
then
is
he
fit
for
labour
or
any
exercise
,
but
if
he
be
sad
,
heauie
or
deiected
in
countenance
,
although
hee
bee
cleare
,
doe
not
labour
him
vntill
you
haue
found
the
cause
,
and
remooued
it
.
2.
Secondly
let
not
your
horse
eate
any
thing
by
two
or
three
houres
before
you
trauell
him
,
&
then
not
much
,
vntill
you
come
to
your
lodging
;
for
bayting
at
noone
is
naught
and
hurtfull
,
except
you
rest
4.
or
5.
houres
,
so
as
he
may
not
trauell
vpon
a
full
stomacke
,
and
let
his
baite
be
small
,
&
be
sure
he
neuer
weare
a
rusty
Bit
or
Snaftle
for
feare
of
the
canker
.
Thirdly
,
let
your
trauel
be
moderate
(
except
necessity
(
which
cannot
be
limitted
)
enforce
you
,
&
come
to
your
lodging
long
before
night
,
so
as
your
horse
may
neither
eat
nor
drinke
vntill
he
be
very
cold
:
&
if
it
be
in
winter
time
,
be
sure
to
cloath
&
couer
his
head
&
breast
very
warme
after
trauel
;
&
euery
morning
either
squirt
a
little
vinegar
into
his
nosthrils
,
or
els
rub
them
with
oile
de
bay
,
with
a
cloth
nointed
therewith
fastned
to
the
end
of
a
sticke
,
&
thrust
vp
and
downe
his
nosthrils
,
to
purge
his
head
.
Fourthly
,
neither
wash
nor
walke
your
Horse
(
especially
in
the
winter
time
)
for
when
he
is
very
hot
,
to
walke
him
in
the
colde
aire
,
reason
telleth
you
,
that
it
is
not
sufficient
to
keep
him
in
moderat
heat
:
and
to
wash
him
,
it
is
a
preparatiue
to
a
speedy
end
,
or
the
least
that
may
befal
,
to
bring
him
to
some
dangerous
disease
:
And
to
confirme
the
truth
heerein
,
I
affirme
,
and
will
by
good
and
probable
demonstration
of
truth
make
it
manifest
,
that
there
is
no
dangerous
disease
incident
to
Horse
,
but
the
same
proceedeth
from
the
cause
of
heat
or
colde
,
and
none
more
dangerous
then
this
:
neither
can
any
Horseman
or
vnderstanding
Farrier
truely
instance
vnto
me
any
particular
disease
to
the
contrary
;
and
to
all
young
Horses
the
common
messengers
of
death
.
Fiftly
,
when
you
trauell
,
alight
often
from
your
Horse
(
if
cause
of
necessitie
enforce
not
the
contrary
)
and
lead
your
Horse
to
some
place
of
grasse
,
strawe
,
or
brakes
,
and
there
staye
,
and
whistle
,
vntill
your
Horse
pisse
,
which
by
little
custome
he
will
vsually
doe
,
for
the
long
retention
of
his
water
,
is
many
waies
hurtfull
,
and
(
except
it
be
in
such
places
)
he
is
most
vnwilling
to
pisse
,
because
the
sprinckling
thereof
will
scalde
his
legges
.

Ague
or
Feuer
in
Horses
.
THe
learned
doe
holde
three
generall
kindes
:
First
,
when
the
vitall
spirits
are
inflamed
,
wherein
heate
is
prdominat
more
then
Nature
requireth
.
Secondly
,
when
the
humors
are
distempered
by
heat
.
Thirdly
,
when
the
firme
parts
of
the
bodie
are
continually
hot
,
so
that
the
ague
commeth
either
by
excessiue
heting
the
horse
,
&
therupon
a
sudden
cold
,
or
by
fulnes
of
bad
bumors
,
which
principally
growe
from
full
,
foule
,
or
rawe
feeding
,
and
great
rest
,
and
for
that
reason
it
taketh
the
horse
either
hot
ot
colde
:
now
he
cannot
be
cured
but
by
the
contrary
,
viz.
by
spare
feeding
,
cleane
feeding
,
dry
feeding
,
&
moderate
labour
:
&
to
this
end
,
the
cure
must
bee
ministred
.
But
to
be
curious
in
the
destinction
(
hauing
sufficiently
expressed
the
same
in
this
tractat
)
I
purpose
not
:
it
is
sufficient
to
knowe
that
learning
and
practise
acknowledge
a
horse
to
haue
an
ague
as
wel
as
man
,
and
to
keepe
due
houres
to
make
him
shake
and
tremble
as
a
man
,
&
to
knowe
the
same
also
,
appereth
by
the
inflamations
from
the
heat
of
the
stomacke
,
which
scaldeth
and
maketh
the
tongue
rawe

Of
the
sudden
sicknes
of
a
horse
.
THe
cause
is
,
for
that
the
heart
which
is
the
chariot
of
his
life
wherein
the
soule
of
the
horse
liueth
,
wanting
the
vse
of
the
veines

Arteries
to
carrie
the
vitall
spirit

heate
to
all
the
parts
of
the
body
,
to
giue
the
horse
feeling
,
&
abilitie
to
operation
,
by
reason
of
some
obstruction
of
humors
or
colde
,
which
for
want
of
heate
cannot
be
dissolued
,
for
that
the
nature
of
colde
is
to
binde
and
conglutinate
together
,
and
to
keepe
them
from
their
natural
course
,
proceeding
from
some
violent
exercise
or
immoderate
feeding
and
rest
,
by
reason
whereof
there
is
great
iarre
&
discord
amongst
the
qualities

the
motion
of
the
vitall
spirit
,
wherby
the
horse
liueth
and
mooueth
,
is
imprisoned
for
that
time
,

seemeth
taken

Staggers
.
THe
cause
of
this
disease
,
is
for
that
as
I
haue
formerly
saide
,
the
braine
and
the
stomack
are
vnited
and
chained
together
with
certaine
sinewes
,
and
thereby
enterchangeably
communicate
their
dammages
,
so
as
when
the
stomacke
is
oppressed
with
grose
and
tough
humors
,
or
some
strong
vapors
,
as
when
the
Horse
hath
eaten
some
strong
hearb
,
as
the
wilde
parsenip
or
such
like
,
by
the
strong
vaporous
spirits
proceeding
out
of
the
stomack
to
the
braine
,
opressing
the
same
,
as
the
strong
vaporous
spirit
of
wine
,
Aqua
vite
,
and
such
like
doth
the
braine
of
man
,
he
is
dizzie
and
reeleth
,
as
if
he
were
drunke
:
and
hereof
I
haue
had
often
experience
,
but
at
the
first
the
horse
doth
only
reele
,
and
stagger
,
as
if
his
backe
were
swayed
,
and
will
eate
his
meat

Mourning

THe
cause
heereof

greate
heate

and
thereupon
taking
colde
,
and
then
first
it
beginneth
with
Rewme
,
then
the
Glaunders
,
and
after
to
this
mourning
of
the
Chine
,
(
as
it
is
vsually
tearmed
)
but
more
truely
and
essentiallye
,
it
beginneth
with
the
Rewm
,
which
proceedeth
to
inflamation
of
the
liuer
or
lungs
,
by
the
continuall
distilling
vpon
them
,
then
to
the
Glaunders
,
which
is
impostumation
therof
:
and
lastly
,
to
an
exulceration
:
which
abruptly
and
vntruelye
is
tearmed
,
the
mourning
of
the
Chine
,
and
yet
to
maintaine
this
borrowed
and
erronious
tearme
,
some
writers
doe
affirme
,
that
it
breedeth
after
the
Reines
of
his
necke
,
and
into
his
head
,
and
that
it
causeth
the
flesh
along
by
the
Chine
to
rot
,
and
to
draw
matter
,
&
that
it
commeth
through
by
his
head
,
along
by
the
Chine
bone
,
and
will
matter
out
at
his
Nostrils
.
How
this
Rewme
shold
rot
the
flesh
of
the
Chine
,
seemeth
more
then
prodigious
and
ridiculous
,
either
in
Phisicke
,
Philosophie
or
practise
:
but
for
as
much
as
they
can
neyther
define
the
proposition
certainely
,
neither
coniecture
probablye
,
I
passe
it
ouer
as
a
position
without
reason
or
truth
,
and
the
rather
,
because
common
experience
after
the
ripping
of
such
diseased
horses
,
being
deade
,
sheweth
euermore
the
exulceration
,
corruption
and
consumption
of
the
liuer
or
lungs
.
And
therfore
there
is
not
any
thing
truer
,
then
that
this
disease
commeth
of
a
violent
heat
and
sudden
colde
,
which
enflameth
the
blood
,
&
so
corrupteth
by
degrees
(
as
I
haue
said
)
the
substance
of
the
liuer
:
by
which
distemperature
,
and
inflamation
(
the
liuer
being
the
fountaine
of
blood
)
becommeth
extraordinarily
distemperated
with
heat
,
by
which
excesse
of
heat
,
cholor
and
colde
,
fleame
are
engendred
,
from
the
which
all
the
weakenes
of
the
liuer
proceedeth
,
and
from
thence
obstruction
and
stopping
,
whereby
the
grose
and
tough
humors
,
by
the
violence
of
heat
,
by
labor
,
are
drawne
into
the
springs
of
the
fountain
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
smal
veines
which
cary
the
blood
from
the
liuer
,
whereby
the
Liuer
cannot
giue
perfect
nutriment
,
by
which
obstructtion
and
stopping
,
the
humors
being
chollericke
,
breed
many
hard
knobs
in
the
liuer
,
and
then
the
inflamation
breaketh
out
,
of
the
veines
,
and
floweth
into
the
bodie
of
the
liuer
,
and
there
being
out
of
his
propper
vessels
,
doth
immediately
puputrifie
,
&
therewith
corrupteth
so
much
fleshy
substance
of
the
liuer
,
as
it
is
imbrued
withall
,
and
so
by
little
&
little
perisheth
the
whole
liuer
,
and
then
the
bloody
matter
afterwards
becommeth
corruption
:
&
when
it
breaketh
out
,
it
is
as
a
filthy
sore
,
(
which
is
this
vsurped
mourning
of
the
chine
)
and
in
the
end
this
filthy
matter
,
flowing
abroad
with
his
euill
vapors
,
corrupteth
the
heart
,
and
causeth
death
,
as
you
see
the
end
of
all
Horses
that
haue
this
disease
.
From
whence
you
see
,
that
an
inflamation
begetteth
Apostumation
,
and
appostumation
exulceration
,
&
then
the
liuer
being
thus
corrupted
,
there
cannot
be
good
digestion
,
for
lacke
whereof
,
the
body
wanting
perfect
nutriment
,
doth
cousume
and
perish
.

Of
a
broken
winde
.
THe
cause
of
this
perrilous
disease
,
hath
not
bene
truly
foreopened
by
any
,
not
being
truely
vnderstood
,
and
therefore
accounted
of
al
Horsemen
vncurable
.
And
therefore
as
plainely
as
I
can
,
I
purpose
to
vnfolde
the
same
,
and
I
wil
deuide
the
same
into
three
kindes
,
euery
of
which
may
be
truely
tearmed
a
broken
winde
,
because
the
breath
being
drawne
very
short
and
thicke
,
contrary
to
originall
creation
,
the
which
is
long
colde
,
&
quiet
,
for
so
euery
creature
is
by
nature
,
but
when
any
accident
of
violence
of
the
body
is
vsed
in
any
creature
,
then
euery
mans
experience
telleth
him
that
he
panteth
and
fetcheth
breath
very
short
and
thicke
,
and
therefore
with
the
cause
thereof
I
will
begin
,
the
which
being
vnderstood
,
the
effects
can
not
be
hid
.
Now
the
causes
why
a
Horse
draweth
his
breath
short
,
may
be
many
,
as
sicknes
,
great
fulnes
,
or
violent
excercise
:
but
the
reason
of
the
cause
is
,
for
that
the
heart
being
the
onely
hottest
part
of
the
body
,
from
whence
the
Arteries
and
veines
do
carry
the
vitall
heat
into
euery
part
of
the
bodie
,
(
and
therefore
is
truly
said
to
be
the
chariot
of
life
)
when
the
same
by
sicknes
,
fulnes
,
or
violence
of
excercise
is
choked
and
as
it
were
smothered
with
great
heate
,
then
dooth
the
lights
being
the
bellowes
to
draw
breath
,
according
to
that
office
that
nature
hath
ordeined
them
vnto
,
presently
labour
with
all
violence
to
draw
breath
to
coole
and
comfort
the
heart
,
and
so
consequently
all
the
other
members
and
parts
of
the
bodie
,
to
fill
all
the
empty
corners
with
aire
,
which
naturally
and
in
predominate
qualitie
is
moist
:
and
when
they
haue
drawn
sufficient
breath
,
the
drynes
and
heat
by
the
moysture
of
the
aire
is
quenched
,
the
which
being
done
,
then
dooth
the
creature
draw
breath
leasurely
and
coldely
,
and
not
before
:
but
so
long
as
the
heart
is
oppressed
with
the
violent
heat
of
sicknes
,
or
by
great
fulnes
,
or
violent
excercise
,
the
canes
,
pipes
,
and
passages
for
breath
,
are
almost
stopped
or
choked
vp
,
then
dooth
the
lungs
labour
very
extreame
thicke
,
to
preserue
the
life
of
the
creature
,
which
is
the
heart
,
and
therfore
it
is
saide
to
be
the
first
thing
that
liueth
,
and
the
last
that
dieth
.
And
to
make
the
same
a
little
plainer
,
obserue
a
Horse
that
is
broken-winded
,
(
as
the
vsuall
terme
is
)
and
you
shall
finde
that
he
fetcheth
his
breath
much
more
shorter
when
he
is
kept
in
the
stable
onely
with
die
,
meate
,
then
when
he
goeth
to
grasse
,
and
the
onely
reason
is
,
the
coldenes
of
the
moist
food
,
which
keepeth
the
heart
and
all
the
bodie
in
coldenes
,
because
the
humors
that
come
from
the
digestion
of
grasse
are
colde
and
moist
,
according
to
the
naturall
qualitie
of
grasse
,
and
rawe
hearbs
.
This
rule
being
kept
in
minde
,
it
is
a
truth
apparant
,
that
all
thinges
which
hinder
and
stop
the
free
passage
of
breath
,
breaking
the
naturall
course
thereof
,
are
the
onely
causes
of
broken
winde
:
so
likewise
the
cure
of
broken
winde
must
be
the
remoouing
of
the
stoppings
of
aire
,
&
then
the
lungs
will
perfectly
do
their
office
,
&
then
the
creature
is
perfect
from
the
disease
.
The
differences
of
broken
windes
both
in
cause
and
effect
are
diuers
,
and
yet
may
be
truly
tearmed
broken
,
namely
shortnes
of
breath
,
Pursicke
,
and
broken
winde
.
Shortnes
of
breath
:
1.
And
first
touching
shortnes
of
breath
,
it
may
come
by
some
grosse
&
tough
humors
,
cleauing
to
the
hollow
places
of
the
lungs
,
stopping
the
winde-pipes
,
so
as
the
horse
cannot
easely
draw
his
breath
:
and
the
signe
thereof
is
his
coughing
often
,
dayly
,
and
vehemently
,
without
voyding
at
the
nose
or
mouth
.
2.
Secondly
it
may
come
by
hasty
running
after
drinking
,
or
vpon
ful
stomack
,
or
by
the
dissolution
of
some
humors
discending
into
his
throate
or
lungs
,
by
reason
of
some
violent
heat
dissoluing
the
same
.
And
the
signes
therof
are
continual
panting
,
sending
the
same
foorth
very
hot
at
his
nose
,
in
a
squeasing
manner
,
and
his
flanckes
wil
beat
so
thick
as
he
cannot
fetch
breath
,
but
by
holding
the
neck
right
out
and
straight
,
and
this
may
truely
be
called
broken
winde
,
although
in
truth
no
broken
winde
.

For
the
hawe
in
the
eye
.
THis
is
knowne
to
all
Smithes
,
and
no
doubt
is
ingendered
by
some
grosse
humor
defending
out
of
the
head
:
the
cure
thereof
,
is
to
pul
both
the
eye-lidds
open
with
2
seuerall
threds
stitched
with
a
needle
,
to
either
of
the
lidds
,
then
catch
hold
of
the
hawe
with
the
stich
of
another
needle
and
thread
,
and
pull
it
out
so
farre
as
you
may
stay
it
with
your
singer
,
to
the
intent
it
may
be
cutte
round
the
bredth
of
a
penny
,
and
leaue
the
blacke
behinde
,
for
by
cutting
away
too
much
of
the
fatt
and
blacke
of
the
eye
,
the
Horse
many
times
becometh
bleer-eyed
,
and
therfore
you
must
spare
the
fat
which
is
the
wash
of
the
eie
and
the
filme
,
wherein
the
eye
groweth
,
but
cutt
betwene
the
filme

the
crush

For
the
Lunaticke
eyes
.
FOr
as
much
as
they
are
so
called
,
I
am
content
so
to
continue
the
name
,
and
it
is
said
that
the
Horse
becometh
blind
,
at
certain
times
in
the
moone
,
&
thereupon
,
most
men
doe
gather
that
his
sight
is
good
or
bad
,
according
to
the
Naturall
course
of
the
Moone
:
but
the
truth
thereof
is
from
the
Naturall
sight
of
the
eye
,
which
is
a
blewish
eie
or
sight
,
and
all
Horses
that
are
so
sighted
,
after
extraordinary
heat
and
trauell
,
wil
be
blew
,
and
haue
a
filme
ouergrow
the
sight
,
so
as
he
cannot
see
,
and
although
it
be
cured
,
yet
vpon
like
occasion
will
fall
blinde
againe
,
which
I
haue
often
seene
:
&
therfore
horses
that
haue
such
blew
eies
are
to
be
anoided
,
the
full
experience
whereof
,
I
had
from
that
worthy
Ferrar
M.
Iohn
Orpen
of
Greenewich
deceassed
,
who
alwaies
cured
the
same
by
thrusting
Tutty
into
their
eyes
with
his
singer
:
but
if
you
lay
vpon
the
temples
of
his
head
a
plaister
of
pitch
,
rosen
and
masticke
,
and
then
with
a
sharpe
knife
make
two
slitts
,
on
both
sides
of
his
head
,
an
inche
long
,
somewhat
towards
the
nose
,
a
handfull
beneath
the
eyes
,
not
touching
the
veine
,
and
with
a
cornet
loose
the
skin
vpward
the
breadth
of
a
groat
,
and
thrust
therein
a
round
peece
of
leather
,
as
broad
as
a
two
penny
peece
,
with
a
hole
in
the
middest
to
keepe
the
hole
open
:
and
looke
to
it
once
a
day
that
the
matter
may
not
be
stopped
,
but
run
ten
or
eleuen
daies
,
then
heale
it
with
Turpentine
,
Hogs
grease
and
waxe
,
boyled
together
,
with
flaxe
dipped
in
it
,
and
take
not
away
the
plaisters
til
they
fall
away
,
then
burne
him
with
a
small
hot
drawing
yron
,
made
like
a
starre
with
a
hole
in
the
middest
,
in
each
temple
vaine
where
the
plaister
did
lie
,
in
this
sort
,
**
and
if
this
helpe
not
,
set
him
to
carte
:
beware
you
breed
no
colts
of
Horses
that
are
so
eyed

he

For
bleeding
at
the
nose
.
THis
may
come
vppon
many
causes
which
cannot
be
truely
known
,
comming
from
within
the
body
,
&
therfore
I
wil
shew
how
to
cure
the
same
:
take
a
pint
of
red
wine
,
&
put
thereunto
a
quarter
of
bole
armony
beaten
vnto
fine
powder
,
&
put
the
one
half
thereof
into
his
nostril
that
bleedeth
holding
vp
his
head
;
&
this
may
do
wel
if
in
the
nostril
or
head
there
be
the
original
cause
:
the
next
day
giue
him
the
rest
into
his
body
,
&
that
wil
surely
binde
his
body
&
it
may
help
the
bleeding
,
being
inward
.
For
the
same
.
LEt
him
blood
in
the
brest
vaines
,
of
each
a
pint
,
for
that
is
most
likely
to
turne
the
course
of
the
blood
:
take
2
or
3
sponefuls
of
his
blood
,
and
put
it
in
a
saucer
,
and
boyle
it
vntill
it
be
dried
to
powder
,
then
take
the
powder
thereof
and
blow
it
into
his
nostrils
and
if
it
come
of
a
wound
,
put
it
into
the
same
and
it
will
presently
stint
it
:
horse-dung
,
asses
dung

sage
leaues

put
into

,
&
beat
them
into
fine
pouder
,

mingle
them
throughly
with
the
whites
of

,
vntil
it
be
so
thick
as
hony
,
and
with
soft
hares
haire
,
thrust
his
nostrils
so
ful
as
it
cannot
fal
out
.
And
lastly
,
some
will
throw
colde
water
vpon
him
against
his
haire
,
&
it
is
likely
that
the
over-cooling
of
him
that
wayes
may
stop
the
flux
thereof
:

The
cure
is

tye
the

head

,

his
mouth
to
be
openned
with
a

CHAP.
105.
THere
are
many
opinions
how
this
should
come
to
a
horse
,
and
therefore
I
wish
many
meanes
to
be
vsed
before
any
extream
meanes
be
vsed
:
first
therfore
,
if
the
horse
haue
such
a
crick
that
he
holdeth
his
necke
streight
and
cannot
haue
the
vse
to
lift
the
same
vp
and
downe
as
is
vsuall
,
then
let
two
men
one
on
the
each
side
rub
his
neck
,
so
long
as
by
common
intendment
it
is
growne
very
hot
,
which
being
done
,
put
a
bit
into
his
mouth
,
and
make
triall
if
he
will
or
can
reine
in
any
seemly
proportion
,
the
which
if
he
do
,
then
it
is
to
be
intended
either
the
same
came
by
some
colde
or
some
strain
,
and
then
I
would
haue
him
let
blood
on
both
the
brest
vaines
,
and
all
his
neck
throughly
annointed
,
and
labored
with
Aquauite
and
Nerue
oyle
,
that
it
may
drinke
into
the
skin
,
and
two
sheep
skins
wraped
about
his
neck
with
the
wooll
next
the
neck
,
to
keepe
it
in
a
great
heate
,
and
so
to
rest
24.
hours
,
&
if
he
doe
not
heerby
amend
,
but
carrieth
his
head
still
downe
&
feedeth
slowly
,
then
make
a
hole
in
his
forehead
hard
vnder
the
foretop
,
&
thrust
in
a
cornet
to
raise
the
skin
from
the
flesh
a
handfull
deep
,
then
take
a
goose
feather
well
nointed
with
hoggs
grease
to
keepe
the
hole
open
that
it
may
run
ten
dayes
together
,
&
euery
day
twice
let
the
feather
be
cleansed
&
newly
annointed
,
and
let
his
neck
be
stil
labored
with
rubbing
,
&
kept
very
warm
to
keepe
it
in
a
sweat
,
and
if
you
perceiue
no
amendment
,
then
draw
him
with
a
hot
yron
from
the
root
of
the
eare
on
both
sids
of
the
neck
through
the
middest
of
the
same
,
euen
to
the
brest
a
straw
deep
,
that
both
ends
may
meet
on
the
breast
,
but
if
he
carry
his
necke
awry
on
one
side
,
then
onely
draw
the
contrary
side
with
a
hot
yron
,
&
faile
not
eury
morning
when
he
is
fasting
,
to
ride
him
with
a
bit
til
he
sweat
,
&
the
hotter
he
is
,
the
more
pul
in
his
reine
,
&
when
he
commeth
to
the
stable
,
keepe
him
warm

For
the
falling
of
the
Crest
.
THe
cure
is
,
first
let
the
crest
be
supported
to
stand
vpright
,
then
on
the
contrary
side
that
it
falleth
,
draw
his
crest
the
depth
of
a
straw
with
a
hot
yron
,
the
edge
of
which
yron
wold
be
half
an
inch
broad
,
&
make
your
beginning
&
ending
somewhat
beyond
the
fal
,
but
the
first
draught
must
go
al
the
way
vpon
the
edge
of
the
maine
,
euen
vnderneath
the
roots
of
the
same
,
bearing
your
hand
right
dounward
into
the
neckward
,
then
answer
that
with
another
draught
beneath
,
and
so
far
distant
from
the
first
as
the
fall
is
broad
,
compassing
al
the
fall
:
and
betwixt
these
two
draughts
,
right
in
the
middest
draw
another
draught
,
then
with
a
button
of
an
inch
about
,
or
else
crossing
the
same
with
your
yron
,
burne
at
each
end
a
hole
,
or
else
crosse
the
spaces
betwixt
the
draughts
:
the
reason
is
,
that
by
the
pursing
vp
and
shrinking
of
the
skin
on
the
contrary
side
,
the
crest
may
stand
vpright
:
some
will
afterwards
anoint
the
same
with
fresh
butter
,
or
somthing
aswage
the
heate
,
but
Maister
Orpen
of
Greenwich
an
excellent
Farear
,
would
not
do
any
thing
that
might
enlarge
the
skin
:
and
for
my
owne
opinion
,
I
hold
it
best
vntill
9.
daies
be
past
,
and
then
to
take
away
the
scab
it
will
not
be
amisse
.

:
for
nature
being
ouercome
,
then
doth
the
humor
rule
the
body
to
the
vtter
destruction
thereof
:
In
lik●
maner
,
it
is
when
the
Horse
beeing
over
hotte
with
trauell
drinketh
so
much
as
the
colde
,
thereof
suppreseth
his
naturall
heate
:
The
cause
is
,
that
the
evil
humors
being
predominate
according
to
their
nature
,
being
heauy
&
moist
,
immediatly
resort
down
to
the
horse
legs
and
feet
,
and
there
rest
,
whereof
there
must
be
some
dissolution
,
which
if
it
be
not
preuented
,
make
great
gourdy
lims
,
as
the
paines
,
cratches
,
spauins
,
winde-galls
,
casting
of
the
houes
,
&
such
like
:
all
which
seeme
more
then
wonderful
to
the
ignorant
,
because
ignorance
,
is
the
mother
of
wonder
:
The
cure
hereof
must
be
according
to
the
effects
that
are
wrought
in
the
horse
,
as
if
it
be
espied
,
when
the
haier
beginneth
to
stare
,
that
he
be
chil
,
and
shrug
for
cold
,
forsake
his
meat
,
hang
downe
this
head
,
quiuer
after
cold
water
,
and
after
two
or
three
dayes
,
begin
tocough
,
then
it
is
a
signe
,
that
his
surfet
is
not
great
and
then
he
may
be
cured
thus
:
couer
his
belly
with
the
glister
last
mentioned
and
giue
him
this
drinke
:
take
of
malmesy
a
puart
of
sugar
half

of

half
a

spoonfull
beaten
into

put
it
into

For
the
yellowes
.
THe
cause
herof
,
is
also
the
aboundance
of
bad
humors
,
the
cure
is
plaine
:
let
him
blood
,
if
you
see
it
yellow
a
pottle
,
then
cure
him
by
giuing
a
quart
of
white
wine
,
of
saffron
and
turmerick
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
,
and
the
Iuice
that
is
wrong
out
of
2.
handful
of
Selondine
,
&
being
blood
warm
giue
it
him
and
keep
him
warme
,
and
with
good
mashes
,
wherein
put
two
sponfull
of
the
powder
of
Brimston
:
some
will
giue
in
this
drinke
,
the
greene
order
of
geese
strained
.
I
could
now
intreat
of
the
dropsie
in

Horse
,
but
if
you
obserue
those
fewe
rules
I
haue
set
downe
,
in
the
beginning
of
the
title
of
cures
,
you
will
be
free
almost
from
all
diseases
.

For
the
Colick
.
The
cause
of
this
disease
is
2.
fold
,
either
it
commeth
through
aboundance
of
humors
or
with
wind
,
and
herein
the
owner
or
or
keper
may
giue
good
direction
,
for
if
he
knew
the
Horse
to
be
cleane
within
and
orderly
dieted
,
then
it
will
be
probaly
coniectured
it
is
the
wind
,
and
although
it
be
winde
yet
I
iudge
the
origenal
to
beobstruction
,
of
humor
which
will
not
suffer
the
wind
to
haue
his
free
passage
,
which
otherwise
nature
would
expell
as
his
enimie
,
The
cures
may
be
diuers
,
&
because
it
is
a
disease
that
few
Farriers
,
vnderstand
,
I
wil
set
downe
seueral
cures
,
because
if
one
thing
cannot
be
spedily
procured
another
may
,
First
it
may
be
an
obstruction
,
for
that
the
horse
hath
the
stone
,
&
cannot
stale
:
first
take
a
quart
of
white
wine
,
halfe
a
pinte
of
burre
seed
,
beaten
smal
,
2
ounces
of
parslyseed
,
of
smalage
Saxafrage
,
the
roots
of
philupendula
,
Grommell
seed
,
&
broom
seed
,
of
each
2.
ounces
beaten
to
fine
pouder
,
a
good
handfull
of
water-cresses
,
and
lay
them
in
steep
all
night
,
and
in
the
morning
strain
them
cleane
,
and
put
to
it
a
litle
black
sope
,
and
a
litle
butter
,
and
ride
him
till
he
begin
to
sweat
,
then
set
him
in
your
stable
with
a
great
quantitie
of
sweet
litter
vnder
him
,
and
cloath
him
warme
and
so
let
him
stand
meatles
seuen
or
eight
houres
,
then
giue
him
dryed
oates
&
warm
water
,
with
a
quantitie
of
sallet
oyle
to
drinke
,
and
before
he
haue
this
drinke
let
him
fast
all
night
.
If
he
be
a
Horse
there
is
nothing
better
for
him
then
to
couer
a
Mare
.
For
the
same
,
if
you
think
it
to
come
of
winde
.
THis
commeth
when
a
horse
is
ridden
hot
and
set
vp
cold
,
he
will
pine
away
and
forsake
his
meate
:
keep
him
emptie
all
night
in
the
morning
take
a
quart
of
white
wine
,
four
ounces
of
Fenegreck
,
7
ounces
of
baies
,
as
much
corne
pepper
,
an
ounce
of
Graines
,
an
ounce
of
Ginger
,
2.
handfuls
of
water
cresses
,
a
handful
of
sage
,
a
pound
of
Sengreen
,
and
wring
out
the
iuce
,
another
of
mints
,
stamp
them
,
&
put
them
into
the
wine
&
let
them
stand
on
the
fire
till
it
boyle
,
then
straine
it
out
and
giue
it
him
blood
warme
with
a
litle
hony
.
For
the
same
.
TAke
a
quart
of
Malmsie
,
of
cloues
,
pepper
,
Sinamon
of
each
half
an
ounce
,
of
suger
,
half
a
quarter
:
and
giue
it
the
horse
,
luke warme
,
and
labour
him
vpon
it
one
houre
that
he
dung
,
and
stale
,
and
keep
him
with
warme
water
:
But
if
he
be
a
stond
horse
,
there
is
not
any
better
thing
,
then
that
he
hauè
his
ful
desirewith
a
mare
,
if
he
cannot
pisse
,
or
be
troubled
with
the
Collick
:
it
helpeth
many
sicknesses
and
strengtheneth
Nature
.
For
the
same
.
TAke
a
pint
of
white
wine
and
stamp
to
powder
three
of
foure
Cantharides
,
they
are
a
kinde
of
flyes
,
which
you
shall
haue
at
the
Apothecaries
,
&
when
your
horse
is
very
empty
giue
them
vnto
him
being
very
well
wrought
,
and
brued
into
the
white
wine
luke warme
,
vnderstand
I
pray
you
that
these
flyes
are
a
verye
corosiue
and
eating
through
as
poyson
,
and
they
will
not
be
stopped
by
any
humor
:
with
twice
giuing
,
it
would
cure
any
cholick
that
had
not
bin
very
old
.
After
these
many
medicines
for
a
cholick
,
to
refresh
your
conceits
,
I
will
set
downe
two
other
cures
,
which
I
finde
in
some
Writers
,
&
leaue
you
to
take
so
long
time
as
you
think
fit
to
credit
them
.
The
first
is
,
if
the
Horse
haue
a
chollick
,
if
he
looke
vpon
a
Duck
or
any
water
foule
,
it
wil
cure
him
,
the
second
is
,
if
a
maid
strike
him
on
the
face
with
her
girdle
he
is
presently
remedied
.

of

a

mingled

giue
it
him
luke warme
,
and
after
drinke
warme
water
,
with
beane
flower
:
but
if
that
will
not
stay
him
,
then
giue
him
halfe
a
penny
worth
of
Allom
,
beaten
into
pouder
,
&
Bole
Armony
beaten
small
,
in
a
quart
of
milke
,
stirring
them
til
the
milke
be
all
of
a
curd
,
and
this
will
stop
him
.
For
the
Wormes
.
CHAP.
119
THey
are
ingendred
of
raw
&
euill
humors
:
there
are
3.
kindes
of
them
;
the
worme
,
the
bot
,
the
truncheon
.
The
Horse
wil
lye
downe
and
wallowe
,
which
is
when
they
feede
on
him
,
his
breath
will
stincke
,
and
his
mouth
clammy
.
The
cure
,
giue
him
a
quart
of
new
milke
,
and
halfe
a
pinte
of
hony
in
it
,
blood
warme
:
this
will
make
them
rest
from
gnawing
of
him
,
because
they
wilsuck
therof
vntil
they
be
ready
to
burst
:
then
the
next
day
giue
him
this
drinke
following
.
The
cures
that
are
pretended
are
diuers
:
first
take
a
quart
of
wort
,
or
ale
of
the
strongest
,
then
take
a
quarter
of
a
pound
of
ferne
,
half
a
pound
of
Sauin
,
halfe
a
pound
of
stone
crop
;
stamp
them
,
and
put
them
together
with
two
spoonefulls
of
brimstone
,
and
asmuch
chimney
soote
,
beaten
to
pouder
,
and
let
them
lye
in
steepe
two
houres
,
then
straine
them
and
giue
the
Horse
a
little
,
warme
;
then
bridle
him
and
let
him
stand
6.
houres
after
without
meat
,
and
there
is
no
doubt
but
the
Horse
wil
be
at
quiet
,
for
the
strength
thereof
is
such
,
to
staine
the
mawe
as
the
bot
will
not
meddle
,
but
fly
from
it
,
but
it
doth
not
kil
them
:
And
so
is
it
of
all
other
medicines
for
the
same
,
whereof
are
infinite
.
Now
if
I
may
perswade
you
,
or
rather
Mai.
Iohn
Orpen
,
that
worthy
Farrier
deceased
,
after
these
former
drinkes
giuen
,
the
third
day
make
him
purging
pils
,
as
hath
bene
before
,
viz.
Take
of
lard
a
pound
,
laid
in
water
two
houres
;
then
take
nothing
but
the
cleane
fat
thereof
,
stamp
it
in
a
morter
,
&
thereunto
put
of
Licoris
,
of
Anniseedes
,
of
Fenegreeke
,
of
each
beaten
into
pouder
3.
ounces
,
of
Alloes
in
pouder
2.
ounces
,
and
of
Agaricke
one
ounce
,
knead
them
in
paste
and
make
6.
balles
therof
,
then
hauing
fasted
ouer
night
,
giue
him
the
next
morning
3.
of
these
pilles
,
nointed
with
hony
,
when
you
haue
opened
his
mouth
,
catch
hold
of
his
tongue
,
holde
it
fast
til
you
haue
hurld
in
one
,
and
thrust
it
downe
his
throate
with
a
rowling
pin
,
and
then
let
his
tongue
goe
till
he
hath
swallowed
it
down
,
and
so
do
with
the
rest
,
and
keepe
him
close
from
all
ayre
,
and
at
night
giue
him
a
good
strong
mash
,
&
warme
water
3.
daies
after
;
my
reason
is
,
for
that
these
balles
wil
now
purge
out
of
his
body
all
the
bots
and
wormes
,
and
al
the
humors
that
bred
&
cherished
them
:
so
as
your
Horse
wil
be
perfectly
cleane
:
And
you
shall
finde
most
of
the
bots
aliue
,
when
they
are
purged
;
for
you
cannot
kil
them
with
medicine
,
but
only
make
them
forbeare
vexing
of
him
,
so
long
as
his
mawe
resteth
so
bitter
&
stinched
,
as
they
dare
not
feed
on
it
,
but
vpon
other
humors
,
whereby
moste
men
thinke
they
haue
cured
their
Horse
perfect
:
and
the
like
reason
is
for
chickins
gut
,
and
such
like
:
which
being
a
pleasanter
foode
then
the
horse
mwe
,
leaue
him
aprest
,
to
feede
on
them
,
but
doe
not
cure
him
,
for
in
reason
it
cannot
kill
them
nor
auoide
them
,
and
therefore
the
botts
remaine
stil
in
the
body
.

that
they
fal

like
;
which
being
done
,
he
wil
traile
his

close
to
himselfe

vp
the
wound
with
Turpentine
&
Hogs
grease
,
&
a
taint
of
flaxe
,
but
if
the
hurt
were
so
violent
that
all
this
will
not
help
him
,
then
draw
him
Chequer
wise
with
a
hot
yron
,
ouer
all
the
shoulder
point
,
and
let
him
go
to

Of
splayting
of
the
Shoulder
.
THis
commeth
by
some
slippe
,
whereby
the
shoulder
parteth
from
the
brest
,
and
so
leaueth
a
rift
or
rent
in
the
flesh
and
filme
vnder
the
skinne
,
which
causeth
him
to
traile
his
leg
after
him
.
The
cure
is
,
to
put
a
paire
of
streight
pasternes
on
his
forefeete
,
and
toilet

houres
after
all
the

will
swell
,
then
with
a
fleame
strike
all
the
swelling
places
,
or
with
a
sharpe
hotte
yron
,
the
head
whereof
would
be
an
inch
long
,
to
the
intent
the
corruption
may
runne
out
:
and
still
annoint
the

verie
often
with
the
saide
oyntment
,
and
if
it
gather
to
a
head
,
then
lance
it

Of

pight
.
THis
is
when
the
pitch
or
point
of

is
displaced
:
which
if
it
bee
,
the
point
will
sticke
out
farther
then
his
fellowe
,
&
the
horse
will
halt
right
downe
.
The
cure
is
to
make
him
swimme
in
a
deepe
water
some
xi
.
or
xii
.
turnes
,
if
he
be
able
to
make
the

returne

then
make
two
tough
pinnes
of

the
bignesse
of
your

sharpe
,
and
thrust
in
one
of
the
pinnes
,
from
a
boue
downeward
,
so
as
both
the
ends
may
equally
stick
without
the
skinne
,
and
if
the
pinne
of
wood
will
not
easilye
passe
through
,
make
it
way
with
an
yron
pinne
,
then
make
two
holes
crosse
to
the
first
holes
,
so
as
the
pin
may
crosse
the
first
pinne
right
in
the
midst
with
a
right
crosse
,
and
the
first
pinne
would
be
somewhat
flat
in
the
midst
,
to
the
intent
the
other
being
round
may
passe
the
better
without
stop
and
close
the
iuster
together
,
then
take
a
peece
of
a
line
,
somewhat
bigger
then
a
Whip-corde
,
and
at
one
end
make
a
loope
,
which
being
put
ouer
one
of
the
pins
endes
,
winde
the
rest

a
pack-threed
vnto
the
rest
of

so
as
it
may
not
slip

first
annoynt
both
prickes
and
corde
with

then
bring
him
into

so
as
it
may
be
bound
with
a

For
swelling
in
the
fore-legges
.
THis
commeth
after
great
labour
,
but
the
efficient
causes
are
many
,
but
principally
that
he
is
trauelled
when
he
is
to
yong
,
before
he
be
clensed
from
his
humors
:
that
he
is
trauelled
when
he
is
full
,
that
he
hath
too
much
rest
,
&
is
not
kept
with
moderate
dyet
,
that
he
feedeth
on
green
meat
,
that
he
is
washed
after
labour
and
such
like
,
as
in
the
title
of
dyet
I
haue
set
forth
.
But
if
he
be
naturally
fleshy
lymmed
,
he
wil
neuer
be
free
,
but
so
soon
as
he
is
cured
vpon
trauel
he
wil
swel
again
,
&
therfore
such
iades
wold
be
gelded
and
put
to
cart
,
and
neuer
suffered
to
get
Colt
.
The
cure
is
diuers
:
take
of
mallowes
three
or
foure
handfuls
,
Rose
cake
and
Sage
a
handfull
,
boile
them
in
water
,
and
therunto
put
halfe
a
pound
of
butter
,
and
halfe
a
pinte
of
Sallet
oyle
,
and
being
made
very
warm
,
wash
him
twice
a
day
for
three
or
foure
daies
.
For
the
same
.
TAke
Hemlocke
,
and
stamp
it
,
and
mingle
it
with
sheepes
dung
and
Vinegar
,
and
hauing
made
a
plaister
,
lay
it
all
ouer
the
swelling
.
For
the
same
.
TAke
Wine-lees
and
Comen
,
and
boyle
them
together
,
and
put
thereunto
a
little
Wheate-flower
,
and
charge
all
the
swelling
therewith
,
and
walke
him
often
and
fast
to
heat
him
,
and
if
this
will
not
serue
,
then
take
vp
the
great
veine
aboue
the
knee
on
the
inside
,
suffering
him
not
to
bleede
from
aboue
but
from
beneath
:
if
he
be
a
cleane
and
leane
limmed
,
&
vsed
as
I
haue
expressed
,
a
little
butter
and
beere
warmed
,
and
his
feet
wel
stopped
with
Cow-dung
after
his
great
trauell
is
sufficient
:
but
if
he
be
so
fleshy
limmed
as
this
will
not
help
,
cut
his
throate
and
wash
him
with
his
owne
blood
,
and
hee
will
neuer
after
swell
.

For
soundering

BEfore
I
enter
to
expresse
the
cure
,
I
would
haue
you
diligently
to
note
the
cause
of
this
disease
,
for
in
the
knowledge
of
the
causes
lyeth
the
knowledge
of
the
cures
;
and
if
you
do
obserue
those
few
rules
I
set
downe
in
the
beginning
of
this
title
of
curing
,
and
doe
diligently
obserue
,
assure
your selfe
you
shall
be
little
troubled
with
curing
:
for
hauing
preuented
the
cause
of
the
greefe
or
sicknes
,
ye
doe
euermore
preuent
the
greefe
and
sicknesse
it selfe
.
The
causes
of
foundring
are
either
from
superfluous
and
ouer-much
eating
and
drinking
,
from
immoderate
and
extream
labour
,
or
aboundance
&
fulnesse
of
humors
:
and
because
I
haue
entreated
heerof
in
the
title
of
dyet
,
as
also
in

title
of
breeding
,
I
leaue
you
to
the
diligent
consideration
therof
,

formerly

Garter

one
handfull

the
knee
,
with
a
list
(
good
&
hard
)
and
then
walke
him
to
chafe
him
into
a
heat
,
&
being
somewhat
warm
let
him
bloud
in
both
the
brest
veines
,
two
or
three
quarts
,
and
reserue
the
same

continually
stirring
it
with
your

to
gather
out
the
clods
thereof
:
then
take
thereof
two
quarts

of
wheate-flower
halfe

therewith
,
and
walke
him
vpon
some
hard
ground
,
suffering
him
not
to
stand
still
,
and
when
the
charge
is
drie
,
refresh
it
againe
,
&
hauing
walked
him
three
or
foure
houres
together
,
leade
him

vppon
him
as
it
dryeth
,
so

as
it

slit
the

that
it

then
knit
vp

two
knots
cut

by

if

by
foundring

then
it
wil
first
breake
in
the
fore-part
of
the
cronet

against

because
the
humor
doth
discend
right
towards

if

Of
the
hooue
bound
.
THis
is
a
shrinking
together
of
the
whole
coffin
of
the
hooue
,
whereby
the
tuell
of
the
foote
,
which
is
inclosed
in
the
same
,
is
so
pinched
,
that
the
Horse
is
very
lame
therewith
,
&
especially
after
trauell
;
and
if
you
knocke
them
,
they
will
sound
as
an
empty
bottle
:
and
if
both
feete
be
not
bound
,
you
shall
apparantly
see
the
hooue
that
is
bound
to
be
lesse
then
the
other
.
This
commeth
by
suffering
the
feete
to
remaine
dry
after
great
trauell
:
and
it
commonly
commeth
to
a
Iennet
or
Asse
hooue
,
because
it
is
deepe
of
hooue
,
but
not
to
the
flat
hooue
,
for
that
only
wrinckleth
&
waxeth
brittle
,
and
by
reason
of
the
bredth
and
shallownesse
of
hooue
it
cannot
inclose
the
tuell
of
the
foote
,
to
strengthen
it
,
and
yet
it
is
the
moste
worst
hooue
.
The
cure
is
to
open
the
feete
in
the
quarters
verye
much
,
so
as
you
may
well
lay
your
thumbe
betwixt
the
frush
of
the
foot
and
the
end
of
the
coffin
where
it
principally
bindeth
,
then
raise
both
the
quarters
of
the
hoofe
,
with
a
drawer
from
the
Cronet
,
vnto
the
sole
of
the
foote
,
so
deepe
as
you
see
the
dew
come
forth
,
&
also
two
rases
of
each
side
,
then
open
the
foote
within
,
&
let
him
blood
in
the
toes
,
and
if
it
be
old
,
the
blood
will
be
as
colde
almoste
as
water
,
for
that
it
hath
not
bin
fed
with
blood
,
wherin
the
vitall
spirit
is
,
&
that
is
the
cause
of
the
coldnesse
,
wherby
it
is
apparant
,
that
the
hoofe
hath
not
prospered
,
but
starued
,
for
you
shal
see
the
frush
and
all
the
sole
of
the
foote
shrunke
vppe
and
starued
,
then
take
away
the
sole
of
the
foot
,
and
stop
it
with
Nettles
and
salt
brused
together
gently
,
not
ouer
hard
,
renewing
it
once
a
day
for
9.
daies
,
and
bee
sure
euerie
day
twice
,
thoroughlye
to
annoint
the
cronet
of
the
hoofe
,
with
the
oyntment
prescribed
for
casting
the
hoofe
,
and
after
the
9.
daies
ende
,
let
his
feete
bee
stopped
with
Branne
and
Hogs-grease
boyled
together
,
and
binde
to
as
hot
as
may
bee
but
still
annoynt
the
hoofe
,
and
when
you
put
him
to
grasse
,
let
him
not
weare
any
shoes
,
but
put
him
in
a
Marsh
or
medowe
,
deepe
of
grasse
,
whereby
his
feete
will
be
alwaies
wette
,
and
so
enlarged
againe
:
some
ignorantlye
call
this
dry
foundering
,
when
as
all
foundering
in
that
foote
commeth
by
descending
of
humors
to
the
feet
,
and
this
is
cleane
contrarie
,
&
my
experience
hath
cured
horses
that
haue
beene
hoofe-bound
foure
or
fiue
yeres
,
by
this
practise
,
which
commeth
asmuch
by
drawning
blood
in
the
toe
of
the
foote
,
contiuually
knocking
the
same
vntill
you
finde
warme

to

Of
the
sarcyn
.
THis
vlcer
is
not
vnknowne
to
any
that
haue
enioyed
Horses
,
and
yet
vnknowne
almost
to
all
;
I
meane
the
true
cause
of
the
disease
,
and
the
cure
:
some
say
it
is
a
corruption
of
blood
,
some
an
outward
hurt
,
as
of
spur
galling
,
biting
of
ticks
,
hogs
lice
or
such
like
,
some
say
an
infirmity
bred
in
the
breast
neere
the
heart
,
and
in
the
side
vessels
or
cod
neere
to
the
stones
,
of
euill
humors
congealed
together
,
which
after
disperse
themselues
into
the
thighes
,
and
sometimes
into
the
head
,
and
do
send
foorth
watery
humors
into
the
nostrils
,
and
then
it
is
called
the
running
Farcin
.
I
haue
often
said
if
the
true
cause
of
a
disease
be
knowne
,
the
disease
it self
is
easely
cured
.
If
any
man
of
vnderstanding
thinke
that
by
healing
the
place
grieued
,
that
the
same
is
alwaies
sound
&
whole
,
he
is
deceaued
:
for
many
times
the
sudden
healing
or
curing
killeth
the
body
or
maketh
that
part
which
seemeth
to
be
healed
,
to
become
of
little
vse
for
the
helpe
of
the
body
:
for
the
mange
,
the
leprosie
,
&
this
disease
of
farcin
,
are
in
a
Horse
especially
most
pernicious
,
for
often
times
it
falleth
out
that
many
Horses
infected
therwith
,
though
they
liue
,
and
the
disease
seemeth
to
be
cured
yet
are
of
small
or
no
vse
:
and
as
I
haue
elsewhere
saide
,
that
as
God
created
Adam
Lord
of
all
his
creatures
,
to
rule
,
gouerne
,
preserue
,
and
haue
the
vse
of
his
creatures
,
the
same
right
is
discended
vpon
vs
his
children
,
so
as
all
our
gouernment
ouer
his
creatures
,
must
be
according
to
the
nature
of
man
,
gouerned
&
prescribed
by
reason
,
because
all
creatures
are
depriued
of
reason
,
but
only
man
:
whereby
it
may
be
probably
coniectured
,
that
where
man
doth
gouerne
,
there
,
and
not
elsewhere
,
reason
doth
gouerne
,
and
then
reason
being
the
bounds
and
limitation
of
mediocrity
,
we
are
to
infer
,
that
mediocrity
is
the
center
of
all
vertue
,
and
the
same
ought
to
be
vsed
in
all
the
actions
of
man
.
Let
vs
then
consider
of
the
vse
and
practise
of
this
disease
:
doth
not
euery
mans
experience
and
his
own
vnderstanding
(
being
his
witnes
)
tel
him
,
that
when
a
young
or
old
Horse
that
hath
long
rested
,
being
taken
vp
from
grasse
,
that
he
is
full
and
choked
as
it
were
with
aboundance
of
humors
?
&
doth
he
think
that
when
trauell
disperseth
those
humors
,
as
it
wil
,
that
these
humors
do
not
fly
into
the
ayre
,
but
remaine
in
the
seueral
parts
of
the
body
,
and
doth
he
think
that
the
greatnes
of
humors
being
an
enemy
to
nature
,
but
that
nature
would
expell
them
if
she
could
,
or
else
keepe
them
from
the
heart
,
the
fountaine
of
her
life
,
and
so
leaue
them
to
creepe
out
of
the
body
in
some
of
the
outward
parts
thereof
?
or
otherwise
,
if
they
cannot
get
out
better
to
destroy
that
member
then
the
whole
body
?
&
doth
not
the
continuall
increase
of
humors
,
in
the
end
by
disorder
,
become
rulers
&
predominate
ouer
nature
,
so
as
nature
is
enforced
by
their
violence
to
yeeld
her selfe
to
destruction
?
and
doth
not
most
men
ride
their
Horses
vpon
a
full
stomack
,
and
cause
nature
against
her
will
to
digest
the
same
vnnaturally
,
whereof
many
vnperfect
humors
are
bred
?
&
doth
not
most
men
when
their
Horses
stand
in
the
stable
and
rest
,
giue
him
continually
more
then
he
can
digest
,
which
also
breedeth
raw
supersluous
humors
?
and
doth
not
most
men
feed
them
in
the
stable
with
new
,
rawe
,
and
greene
foode
,
which
naturally
breedeth
obstructions
,
and
raw
&
filthy
humors
?
and
do
not
most
men
when
their
Horses
are
in
the
stable
,
suffer
them
to
rest
and
feede
full
without
moderate
excercise
?
and
do
not
most
men
when
they
trauell
,
their
Horse
being
very
hot
,
suffer
them
to
drinke
their
fill
?
&
do
not
mostmen
when
their
horses
come
into
the
Inne
very
hot
,
the
stomack
them
being
most
weake
,
suffer
them
then
to
eate
,
before
nature
be
able
to
digest
?
How
then
shal
I
expresse
the
true
cause
of
diseases
,
when
all
these
abuses
breede
infinite
causes
of
disease
,
without
which
no
cure
can
perfectly
be
effected
,
yet
where
man
cannot
truly
define
,
Reason
leaueth
him
probaly
to
coniecture
:
and
therefore
I
coniecture
the
cause
of
this
disease
to
growe
either
from
aboundance
of
bad
humors
,
which
corrupt
the
blood
,
or
from
great
distemperature
of
the
blood
,
by
a
violent
heat
into
a
sudden
colde
,
so
as
I
haue
gathered
it
onely
to
the
corruption
of
the
blood
,
for
otherwise
I
doe
not
thinke
that
the
bite
of
a
Horse
or
a
lowse
could
so
poison
the
whole
body
,
as
to
become
lothsome
to
behold
:
&
therefore
to
the
cure
:
first
let
him
blood
on
both
sides
of
the
necke
,
3.
quarts
at
least
,
for
it
is
most
certaine
that
the
liuer
which
is
the
fountaine
of
blood
is
corrupted
,
and
so
sendeth
the
same
into
euery
part
of
the
bodie
,
then
giue
him
this
drinke
;
take
a

The
Epilogue
.
IT
appeareth
by
this
treatise
,
that
the
perfection
of
all
generation
,
creation
,
preseruation
,
and
long
life
of
horses
consisteth
wholye
in
the
true
composition
of
the
temperature
of
the
foure
first
qualities
,
heate
colde
,
moist
,
and
dry
,
and
is
the
truest
and
moste
proper
continet
cause
therof
,
and
therfore
the
true
knowledge
therof
(
being
the
only
roote
from
which
all
Horsemanship
springeth
)
is
of
all
knowledge
most
to
be
desired
,
and
attained
,
and
is
(
of
the
learned
)
truely
and
rightly
tearmed
Nature
,
for
that
according
to
the
quallity
therof
,
euery
horse
worketh
,
and
not
according
to
Arte
,
for
Arte
is
but
a
hand
maid
to
nature
,
appointed
to
deliuer
precepts
to
direct
the
manner
of
the
action
moste
pleasing
,
and
practice
to
act
&
perform
the
same
,
through
long
vse
with
ease
&
facility
,
as
appeareth
in
many
places
of
this
Tractat
:
and
because
those
,
whose
besome
the
hand
of
heauen
hath
richly
furnished
with
all
vertues
heerin
,
&
to
whom
of
right
the
seat
of
iudgement
(
in
the
true
knowledg
of
horsemanship
)
apperteineth
,
&
from
whom
the
heroical
spirits
&
generous
issue
of
this
kingdome
,
are
to
receiue
instruction
,
haue
the
edge
of
their
industry
cleane
abated
by
force
of
pleasure
&
security
,
&
therby
lately
fallen
into
a
deep
slumber
,
or
rather
into
a
deadly
sleep
of
silence
,
wherby
many
indaunted
corages
and
choise
wits
of
this
kingdome
,
haue
thought
nature
to
haue
delt
nigardly
,
&
to
haue
made
her
staple
&
storehouse
of
horsemen
and
horses
,
onely
within
other
Nations
,
and
to
haue
cut
all
trade
and
traffick
with
little
England
,
&
that
the
true
knowledge
of
Horsemanship
hath
not
bene
natiue
therein
,
but
onely
in
forraine
Nations
,
and
this
English
Nation
to
haue
beene
in
all
ages
mortallye
wounded
with
the
strangers
Goade
.
My self
(
enuying
none
,
nor
detracting
any
)
haue
aduentured
by
the
true
knowledge
of
naturall
causes
,
to
vndermine
the
strongest
holds
of
al
Forreine
force
,
whose
foundations
are
onely
set
vpon
the
deceiueable
sandes
of
erronius
practise
:
and
for
that
purpose
haue
couched
this
Aphorisme
or
principle
of
the
true
knowledge
of
horsemanship
,
in
the
circuit
of
a
small
Period
,
although
the
knowledge
thereof
comprehendeth
sufficient
to
fill
great
volumes
.
I
do
presume
of
all
indifferent
and
equall
iudgements
,
that
this
my
labour
shall
neuer
be
held
vaine-glory
,
or
needelesse
curiositie
,
but
with
such
as
shall
not
peruse
these
my
labours
,
with
them
,
inauditi
tanquam
nocentes
pereunt
,
et
hic
baculum
fixi
,
and
as
to
those
who
haue
not
yet
learned
either
to
speake
or
do
well
,
I
leaue
