THE
Gentleman
's
Compleat
Jockey
:
WITH
THE
Perfect
Horseman
and
Farrier
.
Of
the
Natures
and
Properties
of
Horses
.
HOrses
,
of
all
the
unreasonable
Creatures
upon
the
Earth
,
are
of
the
greatest
Understanding
,
having
in
them
(
as
the
Learned
affirm
)
a
certain
natural
Instinct
,
not
only
of
the
knowledge
of
their
Riders
and
Keepers
,
but
also
of
their
own
Generation
and
Descent
,
knowing
their
Sires
and
Dams
,
in
such
a
manner
as
they
will
refuse
(
as
Pliny
says
)
to
couple
or
ingender
with
them
!
They
are
also
Creatures
the
aptest
to
learn
any
Motion
,
and
the
readiest
to
obey
their
Teacher
,
having
a
greater
love
to
Exercise
than
any
other
Beast
.
They
are
of
an
infinite
great
Courage
,
taking
an
exceeding
delight
in
the
Wars
;
and
(
as
some
do
affirm
)
have
a
certain
fore-knowledge
of
the
Battel
,
and
will
prepare
themselves
for
the
same
.
They
will
mourn
for
the
loss
or
deaths
of
their
Masters
;
and
are
so
apt
to
indure
Labour
,
that
it
is
written
of
the
Horses
of
the
Samarans
,
That
they
'll
gallop
a
hundred
Miles
end-ways
,
without
rest
or
stay
;
they
are
naturally
long
liv'd
,
and
by
choice
Keepers
have
been
brought
up
to
fifty
Years
;
but
for
thirty
it
hath
been
ordinary
with
them
:
the
Mares
are
shorter
liv'd
,
surviving
till
twenty
or
twenty
five
at
the
farthest
.
They
are
of
all
Beasts
the
most
beautiful
of
shape
.
They
are
fit
for
the
Saddle
at
four
years
of
age
for
the
Wars
at
six
,
for
the
Race
at
eight
,
for
Hunting
,
and
extream
Matches
,
at
ten
or
eleven
.
The
Females
bear
their
Foal
full
eleven
Months
,
and
foal
in
the
twelfth
:
the
best
time
for
their
ingendering
is
March
,
at
the
increase
of
the
Moon
,
or
in
part
of
it
;
the
Mare
foaleth
standing
;
they
are
supposed
to
be
so
loving
and
kind
to
their
Generation
,
that
if
a
Foal
lose
the
Dam
,
yet
the
other
Mares
,
which
are
with
milch
,
will
,
of
their
own
accord
,
lend
their
teats
,
to
feed
and
nurse
up
the
Orphan
foal
.
Horses
are
subject
to
more
Diseases
then
any
other
Beast
;
some
write
three
hundred
,
or
as
many
as
belong
to
Man
.
The
Means
to
make
the
Seed
ef
the
Horse
perfect
for
Generation
.
The
Seed
of
the
Horse
ought
to
be
hot
and
dry
,
so
that
all
excessive
moisture
of
Seed
must
be
abated
and
taken
away
:
Now
the
means
to
make
hot
and
dry
Seed
for
Generation
,
is
Labour
and
spare
Diet
,
the
Digestion
being
made
perfect
,
through
heat
proceeding
from
Labour
,
so
that
the
meat
that
the
Horse
and
Mare
should
feed
upon
,
should
be
in
quality
of
Nature
hot
and
dry
,
and
then
moderately
taken
:
The
seed
doth
naturally
pertake
of
the
quality
and
temperature
of
the
meat
;
his
meat
will
increase
an
uniform
Seed
,
so
that
the
Colt
will
be
like
unto
the
Siers
:
The
meat
should
be
old
sweet
Hay
or
Wheat-straw
,
moderately
given
them
;
sweet
Oats
,
winnow'd
and
cleans'd
from
the
dust
and
filth
,
mingled
with
old
dried
Pease
or
Beans
,
with
a
scattering
of
Bay-salt
and
Anniseeds
;
the
Provender
,
for
their
better
digestion
,
may
be
given
them
three
times
a
day
;
their
Water
sweet
and
pure
;
and
every
day
early
in
the
morning
,
when
they
are
fasting
,
moderately
exercised
until
they
sweat
,
their
Stable
clean'd
,
and
then
painfully
dressed
and
rubbed
dry
,
and
thorough
cold
before
any
meat
be
given
to
them
;
the
which
doth
not
only
perfect
digestion
,
and
exhaust
the
moisture
from
the
Seed
,
but
also
strengtheneth
and
cleanseth
their
blood
and
bodies
from
all
raw
and
imperfect
humours
,
whereby
you
shall
perceive
them
to
exceed
in
pride
and
lust
.
About
eight
or
ten
days
before
they
come
to
action
,
add
to
their
diet
some
sweet
Wheat
,
equal
in
mixture
and
quantity
with
the
rest
of
their
provender
;
for
Wheat
is
a
great
〈◊〉
of
the
Heart
,
and
an
increaser
of
the
vital-spirits
,
which
above
all
things
for
that
action
is
principally
to
be
moved
and
stirred
up
;
sometimes
put
in
a
pint
of
White-wine
,
or
a
bottle
of
Ale
,
to
abate
the
cold
quality
of
their
Water
.
These
Means
being
rightly
used
,
you
shall
plainly
discern
the
endowment
of
a
good
temperature
,
to
possess
a
sufficient
power
to
shape
a
perfect
body
;
which
some
of
the
Gentry
would
give
any
rate
for
.
Observations
for
the
better
Directions
in
Breeding
of
the
Mare
.
There
must
be
a
great
discretion
used
in
feeding
of
the
Mare
,
until
she
hath
foaled
,
least
by
the
long
use
of
over-bad
Meats
,
the
Colt
in
the
Womb
be
impaired
from
that
quality
and
temperature
it
had
from
the
Seed
;
therefore
the
Mare
may
not
so
far
eat
of
contrary
Meats
,
least
the
Colt
lose
of
those
good
qualities
,
which
it
received
(
as
hath
been
said
)
of
the
Seed
whereof
it
was
made
.
Of
what
Age
the
Horse
or
Mare
ought
to
be
that
B●get
and
Bring
forth
.
Observe
every
Horse
until
he
be
six
Years
old
is
a
Colt
,
but
never
after
,
and
that
is
his
first
Age
,
and
if
after
that
time
he
lose
any
of
his
Teeth
they
come
not
again
,
because
the
excess
of
his
Moisture
doth
then
begin
to
abate
,
being
until
then
predominate
in
Moisture
;
and
from
five
Years
of
Age
until
he
be
ten
,
is
counted
his
middle
,
youthful
and
perfect
Age
,
for
his
vigor
,
spirit
and
action
,
because
he
is
then
more
Hot
and
less
Moist
;
and
from
ten
Years
of
Age
to
fifteen
is
his
declining
because
then
Heat
and
Moisture
do
much
decay
;
and
from
fifteen
Years
of
Age
until
twenty
his
old
Age
,
because
that
then
he
is
cold
and
dry
.
The
best
time
for
their
Ingendring
is
March
,
at
the
increase
of
the
Moon
or
in
part
of
it
;
the
Mare
carrieth
(
as
hath
been
said
)
her
Foal
eleven
Months
and
foaleth
standing
in
the
twelfth
.
To
know
whether
a
Mare
hath
conceived
,
and
how
to
order
her
after
time
of
Conception
,
until
the
time
of
Foaling
,
for
the
better
Breeding
and
Nourishment
of
the
Colt
.
If
she
cast
not
her
Seed
,
but
eateth
freshly
when
she
cometh
to
Meat
,
and
so
continueth
,
and
doth
not
neigh
nor
piss
often
,
neither
casteth
her
eye
gazing
after
a
Horse
,
and
within
a
Day
or
two
begins
to
be
gaunt-bellied
,
because
her
Womb
in
Conception
and
closing
it self
together
in
keeping
the
Seed
,
trusseth
up
and
maketh
it
show
less
to
the
fight
then
before
,
as
if
she
were
suddenly
become
lean
,
and
her
Hair
lyeth
very
smooth
,
and
brighter
then
before
;
as
also
about
ten
Days
after
,
offering
her
a
Horse
two
or
three
Days
before
the
Full
,
and
likewise
before
the
New
Moon
,
(
and
she
abhorreth
Copulation
)
it
assureth
that
her
Nature
is
satisfy'd
,
and
are
manifest
Signs
of
her
Comception
.
And
as
touching
her
Keeping
,
let
her
not
drink
so
much
as
Nature
desireth
,
and
still
keep
her
with
the
same
Meat
and
Dyet
for
twelve
Days
after
:
Presently
after
her
Foaling
milk
the
Mare
as
clean
as
you
can
,
which
will
not
only
draw
down
her
Milk
,
but
make
the
same
encrease
,
and
also
keep
the
Udder
in
a
good
temper
,
that
the
Milk
do
not
clod
,
which
if
it
should
,
the
Mare
will
quickly
become
dry
.
Boil
her
Milk
with
the
top●
of
Lavender
,
bath
all
her
Udder
therewith
,
and
so
continue
till
the
clods
and
knobs
in
the
Udder
be
dissolved
.
After
foaling
give
her
a
good
Mash
made
of
Malt
,
or
Wheat-meal
;
let
the
Stable
be
open
and
airy
,
and
the
Floor
paved
and
not
planked
;
in
the
Provender
you
may
also
put
the
Powder
of
Brimstone
,
the
Powder
of
the
Roots
of
Enula
Campana
,
of
White-lilly-roots
,
of
Polipodium
of
the
Oak
,
of
Saven
,
Marshwormwood
,
Tobacco
,
Garlick
chopt
small
,
and
such
like
,
and
when
she
goes
to
Grass
,
let
her
run
no
longer
then
Bartholomew-tide
.
Of
Taming
of
Colts
.
The
yearly
wintering
Colts
in
the
Stable
,
will
make
them
tame
and
domestical
,
as
also
bring
many
other
benefits
both
to
the
Owner
and
the
Colts
,
until
they
come
to
be
●id●en
,
which
should
not
be
until
five
Years
of
Age
,
if
you
would
have
them
strong
,
sound
and
durable
Colts
.
When
the
Colt
is
made
gentle
to
suffer
the
saddle
and
cruppler
to
be
set
on
his
back
,
shooes
on
his
feet
,
and
also
load
to
water
;
then
take
another
gentle
Horse
,
and
ride
upon
him
leading
the
Colt
in
a
halter
;
cross
gird
your
Colt
,
and
ride
him
a
mile
or
two
,
and
make
much
of
your
Colt
,
and
with
this
gentle
usage
the
Colt
will
love
and
desire
your
Company
,
and
oftentimes
when
you
are
in
the
Stable
with
him
,
cause
some
Drum
to
beat
,
or
Gun
to
play
or
shoot
to
harden
him
,
at
which
time
stand
by
and
cheri●h
him
.
Of
making
of
Colts
to
Amble
,
from
the
time
of
their
Foaling
.
Put
on
a
halter
,
bridle
and
saddle
,
at
your
pleasure
,
on
the
Mare
's
head
,
in
the
morning
lead
her
forth
,
let
the
Colt
follow
her
gently
,
as
soft
a
pace
as
she
can
go
,
into
some
even
,
plain
,
and
hard
Ground
,
and
be
sure
that
the
Colt
be
not
inforced
to
go
faster
then
you
lead
the
Mare
;
then
observe
and
you
shall
find
the
Colt
going
by
her
,
that
he
doth
altogether
go
and
strain
his
Legs
in
an
Amble
,
after
you
have
practised
several
times
,
the
Colt
will
increase
in
the
swiftness
of
the
pace
of
his
Amble
,
and
then
when
you
think
fit
,
you
may
Back
him
.
Of
the
Stable
.
First
,
For
the
scituation
of
the
Stable
,
it
should
be
on
a
dry
Ground
,
so
as
all
the
seasons
of
the
Year
,
both
Man
and
Horse
may
come
and
return
from
the
same
clean
and
dry
;
also
it
should
be
builded
and
so
placed
that
there
be
a
continual
Current
for
cleansing
and
keeping
the
same
sweet
from
all
things
that
are
noysome
.
It
should
be
cealed
over
the
Horses
,
to
keep
both
Horse
,
Rack
,
Meat
and
Manger
from
all
dust
;
it
must
not
have
any
filthy
Gutter
or
Sink
near
,
in
,
or
under
the
same
,
neither
any
Privy
,
nor
any
other
unwholesome
savour
of
Hogsti●s
,
Hen-houses
,
or
such
like
.
Some
ancient
Writers
affirm
,
that
the
strong
air
of
a
Privy
will
make
a
Horse
blind
;
the
Horse
is
naturally
a
proud
Beast
,
and
delighteth
in
cleanness
;
the
Rack
should
be
set
high
and
stooping
,
that
no
dust
or
filth
may
annoy
the
Horses
Eyes
or
Maine
,
or
indanger
his
Crest
,
by
crooked
or
wry
feeding
;
the
Manger
shou'd
be
deep
and
strong
,
for
casting
Provender
out
of
it
with
the
Horse's
No●e
,
with
posts
and
partitions
,
as
you
may
see
in
all
well-ordered
Stables
;
the
Floor
should
be
paved
and
not
planked
for
these
Reasons
:
First
,
it
is
more
durable
and
lasting
,
and
less
charge
,
it
maketh
your
Horse
more
bold
upon
stony
and
hard
Grounds
,
as
also
it
is
an
excellent
convenieney
for
Colts
being
unshoo'd
,
for
it
hardeneth
the
Hoof
so
as
by
continuance
and
custom
,
they
will
be
as
bold
on
the
Stones
as
if
they
were
shoo'd
.
The
Pavement
should
be
even
,
not
higher
before
,
where
the
fore-feet
stand
,
for
it
will
prove
painful
to
the
hinder
Legs
,
so
as
the
Horse
,
unless
necessity
compel
him
,
cannot
stand
strait
or
be
bold
in
the
Stable
;
there
should
be
divers
Windows
,
the
which
should
be
so
placed
,
that
the
Stable
be
therewith
cleared
with
the
Air
,
and
to
be
close
shut
,
or
open'd
as
occasion
shall
serve
,
in
the
night-time
,
especially
in
the
Winter
,
at
other
times
it
should
be
kept
something
cold
,
for
the
Horse
will
feed
and
digest
the
better
.
There
should
not
be
any
dust
or
Loam-walls
about
or
near
the
Rack
or
Manger
,
for
the
Horse
will
naturally
lick
them
to
his
great
hurt
.
The
●ung
must
not
by
any
means
lye
close
to
the
Stable
.
The
Grooms
should
be
lodged
near
to
the
Stable
to
be
ready
at
all
times
,
and
upon
all
occasions
;
and
joyning
to
their
Lodging
should
be
a
convenient
Room
,
with
a
Press
therein
to
set
their
Saddles
,
Bridles
,
Girts
,
and
such
like
;
with
all
kind
of
necessary
Instruments
,
to
mend
such
Furniture
,
with
all
things
necessary
for
Shooing
,
letting
of
Blood
,
and
such
like
,
together
with
Medicinable
things
,
either
for
inward
Diseases
,
or
outward
Hurts
.
There
should
also
to
the
Stable
be
annexed
certain
Sheds
or
Rooms
to
lay
Horse-litter
in
,
both
new
and
old
,
for
it
is
most
unfit
for
the
Litter
to
be
under
the
Manger
,
as
commonly
is
us'd
,
left
the
Horse
should
either
feed
on
it
,
or
be
offended
with
the
savour
.
Besides
,
there
should
be
a
little
inclos'd
Room
,
such
as
Horses
,
after
their
labour
,
might
be
put
into
,
to
wallow
themselves
,
wherein
most
Horses
take
exceeding
delight
,
it
being
also
most
healthful
for
them
so
to
do
,
the
which
the
antient
Writers
affirm
,
doth
so
much
comfort
a
Horse
,
that
if
they
be
tyred
,
having
afterwards
wallowed
himself
,
being
clean
rubbed
,
will
couragiously
travel
presently
again
,
there
should
also
be
Places
or
Sheds
for
the
Horses
to
be
cleans'd
,
●●rry'd
and
trimm'd
in
,
neither
would
I
have
any
Horse
having
the
Glaunders
,
or
any
other
Sickness
,
Hurt
or
Disease
,
to
remain
in
the
Stable
at
such
a
time
,
but
kept
in
a
Shed
for
the
present
from
the
rest
of
the
Horses
,
by
which
means
,
and
all
other
good
Dyet
,
there
cannot
be
any
great
doubt
of
Health
and
long
Life
to
the
Horses
.
Of
Shooing
of
Horses
.
If
the
true
knowledge
of
Hoofs
were
rightly
understood
,
then
shooing
could
not
be
difficult
:
First
,
I
will
set
down
what
is
a
perfect
Hoof
,
it
must
be
lean
,
smooth
,
deep
,
tough
,
narrow
towards
the
Toe
,
and
conveniently
broad
in
the
Heels
,
much
like
an
Asses
Hoff
,
for
it
should
be
round
.
A
Hoof
that
wants
the
deepness
of
the
Coffin
cannot
be
of
long
service
;
and
because
all
the
weight
of
the
Horse
resteth
upon
the
Quarters
and
Heels
of
the
Fore-feet
,
therefore
those
Quarters
,
I
mean
the
edge
of
the
Coffin
on
the
hinder
part
of
the
Forefeet
must
be
maintain'd
and
taken
off
as
little
as
may
be
,
for
thereby
the
Horse
treadeth
and
beareth
equally
,
which
is
a
special
means
to
keep
him
from
interfering
behind
.
Therefore
the
Farrier
must
to
his
uttermost
preserve
the
hinder
quarters
of
the
Forefeet
,
taking
little
or
nothing
away
from
the
edge
of
the
Coffin
,
because
,
as
we
said
,
all
the
weight
and
burthen
of
the
Horse
resteth
upon
the
Quarters
and
Heels
of
the
Forefeet
,
which
few
Farriers
little
think
upon
;
but
the
Toes
of
the
Forefeet
being
naturally
thick
and
hard
,
must
by
them
be
always
abated
and
pared
thin
as
the
edge
of
a
Knife
,
whereby
they
make
the
Hoofs
of
the
Forefeet
to
be
low
before
,
and
high
in
the
Quarters
.
Therefore
when
they
do
par●
the
Coffins
of
the
Forefeet
,
let
them
do
it
so
even
and
plain
as
the
E●e
can
discern
,
that
the
Shooe
laid
upon
the
Coffin
may
seem
to
be
glewed
thereunto
,
for
that
you
cannot
see
the
light
betwixt
the
Shooe
and
the
Coffin
in
any
part
,
otherwise
the
Shooe
is
not
well
turned
or
welded
,
or
the
Hoof
truly
pared
,
but
before
it
be
nailed
,
be
sure
to
amend
the
fault
,
so
that
it
may
bear
even
and
just
upon
the
edge
of
all
the
Coffin
;
then
before
you
let
the
Farrier
set
on
the
Shooe
,
in
both
the
quarters
of
the
Coffin
of
every
Foot
next
to
the
Frush
,
let
him
cut
out
of
the
end
of
the
corner
of
the
Coffin
,
as
near
to
the
quick
of
the
Heel
as
may
be
,
as
much
of
the
Coffin
as
you
may
lay
your
Finger
in
it
,
whereby
it
shall
never
gather
too
near
the
Frush
,
to
close
up
,
and
become
narrow
in
the
Heels
,
so
as
when
the
Horse
is
shoo'd
,
you
shall
have
a
very
good
distance
betwixt
the
broad
end
of
the
Frush
,
and
the
sponge
of
the
Shooe
,
whereby
all
Gravel
and
Stones
will
wash
and
work
out
of
the
sponge
of
the
Shooe
,
being
cut
aslope
;
then
when
the
Shooe
is
tacked
on
with
nails
,
set
down
the
Horses
Foot
,
and
stand
directly
behind
the
Horse
,
and
view
whether
the
Frush
of
the
Foot
be
direct
and
of
just
proportion
,
even
betwixt
the
Webs
of
the
Shooes
,
and
whether
the
Horse
stand
right
,
and
the
Frush
equally
betwixt
the
Webs
or
Sponges
of
the
Shooe
,
and
you
shall
be
assured
thereby
that
the
Shooe
standeth
right
,
the
continual
use
whereof
will
cause
the
Horse
to
tread
and
traverse
boldly
and
surely
,
because
his
Quarterns
being
the
bearing
place
,
will
be
broad
and
even
to
support
the
whole
Body
.
And
for
the
true
making
of
the
Shooe
,
all
the
Web
should
be
strait
and
plain
,
not
drawn
in
at
the
Heels
and
Quarter
narrow
,
or
beaten
to
the
Heels
which
many
use
to
do
,
neither
hallowed
,
if
the
Feet
be
perfect
but
even
and
flat
,
with
a
broad
Web
,
and
the
Sponges
thicker
and
more
substantial
than
any
part
of
the
Shooe
,
to
cause
the
Joynt
to
stand
upright
,
and
so
wide
in
the
Quarters
as
both
sides
may
disbord
the
coffin
of
the
Hoof
the
breadth
of
a
Straw
,
to
guard
and
save
the
Coffin
of
the
Hoof
,
being
the
only
strength
of
the
whole
Foot
,
and
also
the
shooe
so
far
set
back
to
guard
the
Heels
,
as
may
save
the
same
from
bruising
and
cutting
with
Stones
,
and
unless
the
Coffin
be
continually
so
kept
open
from
hard
oppressing
,
and
closing
of
the
Tuel
of
the
Foot
,
which
is
inclosed
within
the
Coffin
,
whereby
the
Tuel
becometh
bound
to
the
great
grief
and
lameness
of
the
Horse
,
but
the
Foot
and
Joynt
of
the
Horse
maintained
as
a
principal
post
to
support
the
whole
Building
,
for
otherwise
the
Horse
will
become
Hoof-bound
,
which
many
ignorantly
call
dry
foundred
,
and
also
make
the
Joynt
to
become
weak
,
lame
,
and
full
of
Windgalls
.
And
therefore
when
he
comes
to
the
piercing
of
the
Shooe
of
the
Fore-foot
,
let
him
not
spare
to
piērce
it
from
the
Quarter
to
the
hard
Toe
,
but
not
backward
to
the
Heel
,
and
let
the
Shooe
be
so
pierced
,
as
the
holes
be
much
wider
on
the
outside
of
the
Shooe
then
within
,
for
the
holes
of
the
inside
of
the
Shooe
should
be
no
wider
then
the
Shank
of
the
Nail
may
well
fit
,
otherwise
the
Shooe
will
never
fit
fast
and
steady
,
and
the
circle
of
the
piercing
more
distant
from
the
edge
o'
th'
toe
,
then
from
the
edge
of
the
Quarter
,
because
every
Smith
knoweth
that
there
is
more
hold
to
be
taken
with
less
danger
,
in
respect
of
the
Tuel
and
Quick
of
the
Foot
,
and
all
the
Nails
would
be
untoled
without
Shoulders
,
which
will
so
sink
,
and
strongly
fill
the
Hole
,
as
that
the
Shooe
will
be
well
fixed
,
and
by
cutting
the
Hoof
a
little
with
the
point
of
a
Knife
,
let
the
Clin●h
be
clean
hid
,
the
which
shooing
should
always
be
done
,
eight
or
ten
Days
before
you
travel
your
Horse
,
for
by
that
time
the
Hoof
will
be
grown
to
the
Nails
to
hold
the
Shooe
fast
.
And
for
the
helping
of
interfering
,
you
must
keep
him
full
of
Flesh
,
and
always
preserve
the
Coffins
on
the
inside
of
the
Hoofs
,
without
paring
away
more
than
to
make
them
even
for
the
Shoes
,
and
abate
the
outside
of
the
Coffin
of
the
same
Foot
,
and
besides
,
make
the
Sponges
of
the
Shooes
on
the
inside
of
the
Shooes
much
thicker
then
the
outside
.
How
to
know
a
Horse
that
is
durable
,
and
of
continuance
in
Journey
,
&c.
This
observation
must
also
be
from
his
shape
,
the
others
follow
:
First
,
It
is
to
be
considered
that
Strength
is
the
cause
of
the
continuance
of
Travel
,
then
consider
in
what
part
of
the
Body
of
the
Horse
that
Streng●h
prin●ipa●ly
and
naturally
resteth
,
for
as
the
Strength
of
the
Bull
is
naturally
in
the
neck
,
of
the
Lyon
and
Bear
in
the
p●ws
,
of
the
Dog
in
the
chops
,
so
of
the
Horse
in
the
fore-part
,
wh●re
Nature
hath
imposed
the
Burthen
,
and
th●●e
is
and
must
be
his
principal
force
and
strength
,
the
whi●st
fore-part
must
be
deep
and
broad
from
the
point
of
his
too
,
or
〈◊〉
to
the
Bottom
of
his
chest
or
breast
;
hi●
〈…〉
the
lid
or
cover
of
a
trunck
,
whereby
he
will
appear
broad
,
full
,
round
,
and
bearing
out
in
the
chest
or
breast
,
with
an
evenness
of
chest
and
belly
to
the
flank
,
so
as
that
his
belly
hung
not
deeper
than
his
chest
,
nor
his
chest
deeper
then
his
belly
,
with
lean
,
upright
,
and
strait
pasterns
,
somewhat
narrow
hoofed
towards
the
toe
,
assure
your selves
such
a
Horse
will
be
durable
,
and
as
good
almost
at
the
end
of
his
labour
as
at
the
beginning
;
if
he
be
of
a
contrary
shape
;
then
will
his
actions
be
contrary
,
namely
,
the
longer
he
is
travel'd
,
the
more
Jade
.
How
to
know
a
free
and
perfect
spirited
Horse
.
This
powerful
spirit
proceeds
from
the
vital
spirit
and
arterial
blood
that
goes
wandring
through
the
whole
body
,
to
stir
up
the
power
of
the
Beast
,
to
give
him
force
and
vigour
to
work
;
and
as
this
spirit
is
of
substance
most
pure
,
so
when
it
is
plentifully
infused
it
maketh
and
worketh
all
the
Creature
,
and
quality
of
the
same
pure
,
so
as
Man
not
knowing
or
finding
the
reason
,
cannot
but
wonder
at
the
work
and
Workmaster
.
Wherefore
,
for
the
satisfaction
and
confirmation
of
this
Proposition
,
how
to
know
a
perfect
,
quick
,
and
free-spirited
Horse
,
you
must
also
still
retain
all
the
description
of
shape
before
describ'd
,
by
all
which
discriptions
you
shall
assuredly
know
his
qualities
,
only
upon
the
view
,
as
if
you
had
made
tryal
of
him
many
years
;
but
if
the
Horse
be
defective
in
his
shape
,
as
I
have
describ'd
,
then
assure
your self
that
he
wanteth
that
natural
perfection
I
have
referred
the
rule
unto
.
Observe
then
,
I
beseech
you
,
that
a
perfect
Horse
by
Nature
is
thus
shap'd
,
viz.
a
lean
slender
head
,
broad
fore-head
,
great
black
eyes
,
full
and
plain
over
the
lids
,
slender
,
thin
,
and
lean
jaws
,
broad
,
thin
,
long
,
and
a
high
reared
neck
,
the
head
set
to
the
neck
as
naturally
as
a
Ram's
head
when
he
sighteth
,
high
withers
,
and
a
deep
broad
chest
or
breast
,
his
ribs
of
an
equal
evenness
from
his
chest
to
his
flank
,
lean
,
upright
pasterns
,
with
a
lean
and
deep
hoof
;
such
a
Horse
,
assure
thy self
,
will
be
found
in
all
his
actions
naturally
bold
,
loving
,
easie
,
sure-footed
,
durable
,
and
free-going
.
But
because
I
know
and
do
assure
my self
,
that
unus
Mens
no
est
capax
tanti
Motis
,
that
it
is
unpossible
that
one
head
should
be
so
well
furnish'd
as
to
neglect
the
opinions
of
the
antient
Writers
,
I
have
therefore
annexed
their
Description
,
humbly
submitting
my self
to
the
censure
of
the
Experienced
and
Learned
.
Of
the
Shape
of
a
Horse
.
The
last
thing
to
know
a
good
Horse
is
his
Shape
,
which
originally
made
by
God
,
was
no
doubt
most
excellent
,
for
the
works
of
God
were
all
perfect
.
The
particular
Observations
and
Descriptions
of
the
perfect
shape
of
a
Horse
are
in
number
32
,
against
which
I
question
not
but
that
there
may
be
Objections
raised
,
which
I
will
not
trouble
my self
to
answer
,
as
being
conscious
that
what
I
shall
write
of
this
Subject
,
I
have
partly
by
experience
,
and
partly
received
from
the
most
approved
Authors
.
I
will
begin
with
the
Hoof
,
and
so
ascend
till
the
whole
Body
be
described
.
First
therefore
,
they
say
,
That
the
Hoof
should
be
black
,
smooth
,
dry
,
large
,
round
and
hollow
:
Some
write
,
That
if
it
be
soft
and
tender
,
and
the
Heel
broad
,
that
is
a
sign
of
lightness
,
and
that
the
Male
will
from
her
Foaling
,
tread
light
upon
the
ground
,
being
afraid
to
trust
her
Hoofs
being
tender
,
and
therefore
straineth
her
Legs
and
Back
the
more
.
2d
Rule
is
,
That
the
Hoofs
should
be
small
and
heavy
answerable
to
the
Joynt
,
that
it
should
be
hairy
,
his
Fetterlock
to
be
good
,
in
that
it
also
answereth
his
nature
.
3.
That
his
Pasterns
should
be
short
,
neither
too
low
nor
too
high
,
and
therewithal
strong
beneath
,
nor
apt
to
founder
,
the
strength
of
the
Pastern
being
the
uprightness
thereof
.
4.
That
his
Joynts
ought
to
be
great
,
with
long
Fetter-locks
behind
,
this
greatness
of
his
Joynts
must
:
also
be
answerable
to
the
proportion
of
his
Body
.
5.
That
his
Legs
ought
to
be
strait
and
broad
.
6.
That
his
Knees
should
be
great
,
lean
and
plain
,
7.
That
his
Thighs
should
be
full
of
sinews
,
tho
Bones
whereof
to
be
short
,
equal
,
just
well
proportion'd
;
that
when
he
standeth
with
his
Legs
together
,
they
should
be
more
distant
one
from
another
towards
the
Breast
then
beneath
,
which
proceeds
from
the
fulness
and
breadth
of
the
Breast
,
which
causeth
that
distance
.
8.
That
his
Shoulders
should
be
long
,
large
,
and
full
of
flesh
proportionable
to
his
Body
.
9.
That
his
breast
should
be
large
and
round
.
10.
That
his
Neck
should
be
rather
long
than
short
,
great
towards
the
Breast
,
bending
in
the
midst
,
and
slender
towards
the
Head
.
11.
That
his
Ears
should
be
small
,
sharp
,
and
upright
.
12.
That
his
Forehead
should
be
lean
and
large
,
that
largeness
to
be
both
of
breadth
and
length
,
according
to
his
natural
proportion
.
13.
That
his
Eyes
should
be
great
and
black
.
14.
That
the
hollowness
of
his
Brows
be
well
filled
and
shooting
outward
.
15.
That
his
Jaws
should
be
slender
and
lean
.
16.
That
his
Nostrils
should
be
open
,
and
puffed
up
that
you
may
see
the
red
within
apt
for
Air.
17.
That
he
ought
to
have
a
great
Mouth
.
18.
And
which
is
strange
,
that
his
Head
should
be
like
a
Sheeps-head
:
I
answer
,
That
Sheeps-heads
being
as
other
Beasts
,
are
of
divers
Shapes
it
cannot
be
directly
answered
,
for
if
I
should
conceive
the
shape
thereof
contrary
to
the
Writers
meaning
,
I
should
wrong
them
,
and
therefore
leave
it
,
having
already
given
my
description
as
to
my
own
knowledge
,
but
if
you
take
it
according
to
the
proportion
of
most
Sheep
,
it
is
a
good
Shape
.
19.
That
the
Main
should
be
thin
and
long
,
which
betokeneth
strength
,
and
the
thinness
,
aptness
to
be
taught
.
20.
That
his
Withers
and
Walleys
should
be
sharp
pointed
,
right
and
strait
,
so
that
a
Man
may
see
from
thence
the
Posture
of
his
Shoulders
.
21.
That
his
Back
should
be
short
,
even
and
plain
.
22.
That
his
Sides
should
be
long
and
large
,
with
small
space
betwixt
the
hinder
Rib
and
the
Huckle-bone
.
23.
That
his
Belly
should
be
long
and
great
,
orderly
hidden
under
his
Ribs
.
24.
That
his
Flank
should
be
full
and
not
graunt
,
with
natural
frizled
hair
on
both
sides
,
and
the
higher
such
hairs
mount
the
better
.
25.
That
his
Rump
should
be
round
and
plain
,
with
a
large
space
betwixt
the
Huckle-bones
.
26.
That
his
Thighs
should
be
large
and
long
,
with
Bones
well
proportioned
and
full
of
flesh
.
27.
That
his
Hams
should
be
lean
,
dry
and
strait
.
28.
That
his
Hoofs
should
be
large
and
crooked
like
a
Hart
,
which
should
be
a
sign
of
swiftness
.
29.
That
his
Tail
be
full
of
hairs
,
long
,
down
to
the
the
ground
:
or
as
some
write
,
lean
and
crisp
.
30.
That
his
Truncheon
should
be
of
a
measurable
bigness
and
well
couched
.
31.
That
his
Stones
and
Yard
should
be
small
.
32.
That
he
be
proportioned
like
a
Stag
,
lower
before
then
behind
.
Of
the
Colours
of
Horses
.
Now
we
proceed
to
the
examination
of
the
certainty
of
the
knowledge
that
might
be
taken
from
the
Horse's
colour
,
which
most
Men
do
so
embrace
,
my
purpose
is
to
name
those
which
they
call
the
best
,
viz.
brown
,
bay
,
dappled
,
black
full
of
silver
hairs
,
black
like
the
Moor
;
the
roan
,
bright
bay
,
dark
bay
,
bright
sorrel
,
flea-bitten
,
whitely
yard
,
&c.
The
ancient
Writers
tell
us
that
every
Horse
is
coloured
as
he
is
complexion'd
,
and
according
to
the
complexion
he
is
good
or
evil
dispositioned
,
as
he
doth
participate
of
the
Elements
so
he
is
complexion'd
;
affirming
that
if
he
have
most
of
the
Element
of
Fire
,
then
he
is
cholerick
,
and
therefore
light
,
hot
and
fiery
,
and
of
no
great
force
,
as
the
bright
sorrel
;
but
if
of
the
Element
of
Water
,
then
dull
,
slow
,
heavy
,
cold
of
Nature
,
and
such
are
most
commonly
milk-white
;
but
if
of
the
Element
of
the
Air
,
then
more
full
of
blood
,
sanguine
,
pleasant
,
and
of
colour
bay
;
but
if
of
the
Earth
,
then
melancholy
,
faint-hearted
,
sad
and
heavy
;
the
colours
of
these
are
dark
,
dun
,
russet
or
black
.
the
Learned
say
,
there
are
four
Complexions
,
as
there
are
four
Elements
;
but
Horses
do
almost
yearly
alter
their
colours
,
the
Mare
at
the
time
of
her
foaling
;
Opianus
says
that
the
colours
of
Horses
were
chosen
and
maintained
for
the
hunting
of
wild
Beasts
;
if
a
Horse
be
of
a
brown
bay
,
which
the
Frenchmen
do
call
Bayarie
,
loyal
trusty
Bayard
,
which
they
account
to
be
the
Captain
of
all
colours
,
if
withal
this
brown
bay
have
a
white
star
,
white
foot
,
and
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
.
Of
the
Horses
Marks
.
The
Italian
Writers
have
drawn
particular
Names
,
from
whom
the
People
borrow
their
Opinions
,
and
therefore
when
a
Horse
hath
a
white-foot
or
a
white-mark
,
which
the
Italian
calls
Balzano
,
if
the
white
extend
high
and
large
(
they
say
)
it
pretendeth
debility
,
because
whiteness
betokenth
weakness
,
dulness
,
and
the
like
,
and
that
they
call
Balzani
,
they
tell
us
of
Calzoti
,
Arteglio
,
Travato
,
Trustravato
,
Rapicano
,
Attusuato
,
Guzzo
,
Zuino
,
&c.
and
sure
I
am
that
neither
with
foot
,
white
star
,
white
list
,
strake
,
snip
,
phillet
in
the
forehead
,
white
rump
,
black
and
red
flea-bytings
,
ostrick-feather
,
where
it
cannot
be
seen
,
meal-nose
,
meale-slank
,
bearded
under
his
chops
like
a
Goat
,
black
and
long
fetterlocks
,
long
main
,
black
tail
,
black
list
,
and
such
like
,
are
not
to
be
depended
on
as
the
assurant
of
a
good
Horse
,
for
undoubtedly
you
shall
find
good
and
bad
of
all
colours
,
but
to
overcome
Custom
,
is
a
hard
fight
.
How
to
know
a
Horse
that
is
bold
by
Nature
.
A
Horse
that
is
fearful
by
Nature
may
,
by
compulsary
means
,
after
long
use
make
little
or
no
shew
of
fear
,
as
being
in
a
Ship
upon
the
Sea
,
where
are
trumpets
,
guns
,
and
the
like
,
not
having
means
to
avoid
the
same
,
by
use
and
continuance
thereof
,
seemeth
not
fearful
.
But
the
physogmony
of
a
Horse
is
much
more
certain
,
for
he
cannot
keep
secret
or
conceal
as
Man
can
,
but
being
in
perfect
health
remaineth
ever
one
and
the
same
in
countenance
,
To
conclude
and
make
the
truth
hereof
appear
,
choose
a
Horse
with
a
broad
forehead
,
a
great
black
full
eye
standing
out
like
a
Hare's
,
and
a
high
rear'd
forepart
,
and
be
assured
that
by
Nature
he
is
bold
,
and
to
give
you
a
farther
assurance
,
mark
a
Horse
with
a
narrow
forehead
,
little
eyes
and
low
forepart
,
which
is
meer
contrary
,
and
assure
your self
by
Nature
,
that
he
is
starting
and
fearful
,
and
to
seal
up
the
truth
thereof
,
the
tryal
will
confirm
you
.
How
to
make
a
white
Scar
or
white
Spot
in
a
Horse's
Face
,
or
in
any
other
place
.
Take
two
or
three
Apples
,
the
sowrest
you
can
get
,
and
roast
them
at
a
quick
fire
,
then
being
extream
hot
,
take
one
of
them
in
a
cloath
,
and
having
cut
off
the
skin
,
clap
the
hot
Apple
to
the
Horse's
forehead
,
and
hold
it
hard
thereunto
till
the
heat
be
asswaged
,
then
try
if
the
hair
will
come
off
,
which
if
it
will
not
,
then
take
another
hot
Apple
,
and
do
as
you
did
before
;
then
when
the
hair
is
come
off
,
as
broad
as
you
would
have
it
,
then
take
another
hot
Apple
,
and
clap
it
to
the
scalded
skin
,
holding
it
hard
to
,
till
all
the
skin
blister
and
come
off
as
well
as
the
hair
;
then
anoint
the
sore
place
twice
a
day
with
Honey
,
and
the
next
hair
which
cometh
will
be
white
.
To
keep
your
Woollen
Horse-cloaths
,
Breast-cloaths
,
Rubbers
,
and
the
like
from
Moths
.
When
you
turn
your
Horse
or
Horses
to
grass
,
take
all
your
Woollen
Cloaths
,
of
what
kind
soever
,
and
first
wash
them
clean
and
dry
them
,
then
hang
them
in
the
Sun
,
dust
them
,
and
brush
them
,
then
lay
them
on
some
Fleaks
or
some
other
open
things
,
a
pretty
distance
from
the
ground
,
and
spread
all
open
;
then
take
the
hoofs
of
Horses
and
Kattel
,
and
chopping
them
in
pieces
,
burn
them
under
the
Woollen
things
,
so
as
the
smoak
may
come
to
them
in
every
part
;
then
,
being
thorowly
smoak'd
,
fold
them
up
handsomly
,
and
between
every
fold
strow
the
powder
of
Walnut
tree-leaves
well
dried
,
and
so
lay
them
up
in
a
Chest
,
and
you
shall
never
be
troubled
with
Moths
,
which
are
very
unwholsom
for
the
Horse
,
and
troublesome
to
him
.
Others
use
to
rub
their
Cloaths
on
the
wrong
sides
all
over
with
the
tops
and
tender
parts
of
Wormwood
,
with
the
same
effect

How
to
defend
a
Horse
from
Flies

This
is
a
noisome
offence
in
the
Summer-time
;
therefore
when
you
find
the
trouble
thereof
,
take
Arse-smart
,
and
keep
it
in
running
Water
,
and
make
it
exceeding
strong
of
the
Herb
,
and
therewith
sprinkle
and
wash
the
Horse
all
over
,
and
no
Fly
will
touch
him
a
second
time

Observations
in
the
Electing
of
Horses
,
and
the
Vses
.
That
which
giveth
the
noblest
Character
to
a
good
Horseman
,
is
,
the
well-electing
of
Horses
for
that
use
and
purpose
he
intends
to
employ
them
;
and
in
this
Device
there
is
no
better
nor
readier
a
way
than
the
knowledge
of
Races
and
Strains
from
whence
the
Horses
descend
;
for
(
as
I
have
already
intimated
)
it
is
certain
,
that
the
Climate
,
Heat
,
and
Cold
,
are
the
three
excellent
Elements
in
a
Horse's
Composition
.
As
to
the
election
of
Horses
by
their
shapes
and
proportion
,
by
their
colour
and
complexions
,
and
by
their
marks
and
other
outward
semblances
,
I
have
already
written
sufficiently
,
and
intend
to
iterate
nothing
.
To
come
then
to
the
election
of
Horses
,
according
to
their
Races
,
Breeds
,
and
Climates
;
if
you
will
elect
a
Horse
for
service
,
of
martial
and
warlike
Employment
,
then
these
are
best
:
the
Neapolitan
,
the
Sardinian
,
the
Almain
,
the
French
,
or
any
of
these
bastardiz'd
in
themselves
,
or
with
fair
well-shap'd
and
well-metal'd
English
Mares
.
If
you
will
elect
for
Swiftness
and
Service
,
then
the
Arabian
,
the
Barbary
,
the
Spanish
,
the
Grecian
,
or
any
of
these
bastardiz'd
in
themselves
,
or
with
our
best
English
Mares
.
If
you
will
choose
for
long
Travel
and
Service
,
then
the
English
,
the
Hungarian
,
the
Swedstand
,
the
Poland
,
the
Irish
.
If
you
chuse
for
Draught
or
Service
,
the
Flanders
,
the
Friesland
,
or
any
of
the
Netherlands
,
either
bastardiz'd
in
themselves
,
or
with
our
English
races
;
and
these
are
excellent
for
Coach
,
for
Cart
,
for
Pack
,
or
for
any
Burthen
.
I
shall
end
this
Discourse
of
Horses
of
several
Countries
with
a
general
Observation
I
have
entertain'd
of
the
Properties
of
Horses
:
A
Horse
hath
two
Properties
of
a
Man
;
the
first
is
,
to
have
a
proud
Heart
;
and
the

is

hardy
.
He

My
Reader
may
perceive
,
that
I
descend
to
those
familiar
Instances
,
the
better
to
inculcate
the
shape
of
a
perfect
Horse
into
his
Mind
,
without
which
there
can
be
nogood
nor
safe
Election
,
let
the
Horse
be
of
any
Country
whatsoever
.
To
fatten
a
lean
Horse
in
a
short
time
.
Take
him
from
Grass
and
Soil
,
bring
him
into
the
Stable
,
curry
and
rub
him
,
so
as
to
loosen
the
Skin
,
and
chafe
it
with
Neatsfoot-oyl
;
give
him
three
times
a
day
,
for
a
week
,
Mashes
made
of
boiled
Oats
,
Beans
,
and
Bran
,
to
a
good
quantity
;
after
this
,
for
a
week
,
make
up
Balls
of
Barly-meal
,
Honey
,
Enula
campane
beaten
into
powder
,
the
Juice
of
sweet
Fennel
,
and
Cummin-seeds
;
make
these
up
into
Balls
with
new
Ale
,
and
give
him
three
of
them
a
day
as
big
as
Pullets
eggs
for
a
week
,
and
after
each
half
a
peck
of
Oats
and
two
quarts
of
split
Beans
.
This
done
,
give
him
only
Oats
and
Hay
;
and
in
a
month
,
unless
very
old
,
he
will
be
in
extraordinary
good
case
.
A
certain
way
to
know
the
Age
of
Horse
by
his
Teeth
,
Eye●
Eyebrow
,
Hoofe
,
&c.
A
Horse's
full
number
of
Teeth
are
accounted
Thirty
four
,
tho'
there
are
some
few
that
never
arrive
to
that
number
,
having
only
Thirty
,
or
Thirty
one
;
and
the
times
they
come
are
these
:
A
yearling
Colt
has
six
on
either
side
above
and
below
,
and
at
three
years
old
,
ten
in
the
same
mmanner
;
and
half
a
year
after
,
those
that
are
ill
shaped
,
call'd
Dog-Teeth
,
drop
out
;
and
between
that
and
six
years
,
others
spring
up
in
their
room
;
and
at
full
six
they
have
as
many
as
they
will
have
,
the
great
Cheek-Teeth
and
Eye-Teeth
,
in
that
space
,
falling
out
and
receiving
others
in
their
stead
,
being
altogether
hallow
.
These
perfected
black
marks
or
Specks
appear
in
the
fore
Teeth
,
and
continue
till
eight
;
at
twelve
the
sides
of
his
Teeth
turn
black
,
and
so
grow
longer
as
his
years
encrease
,
except
he
feeds
upon
very
hard
Meats
,
and
be
●rong
Jaw'd
,
to
wear
or
keep
them
at
a
stay
;
and
after
●welve
his
Age
is
not
to
be
found
in
his
Mouth
.
Then
observe
his
Temples
,
to
be
satisfied
in
it
,
which
are
●ss
or
more
crooked
and
hallow
,
as
he
encreases
in
years
.
The
next
is
his
Hoof
,
which
is
seamed
one
over
ano●her
;
and
if
upon
paring
off
a
piece
of
the
Hoof
you
find
brittle
,
dry
and
crusty
it
denotes
great
Age.
His
Tail
likewise
denotes
his
Age
;
feel
it
with
your
finer
and
Thumb
,
close
to
the
setting
on
,
and
if
the
Joynt

knobby

and
sticking
out
more
than
in

parts
of
it

the

Two

Eyes

round
,
and
sparkling
,
not

in
the

,
appearing
even
with
his
Temples
,
and
●ot
wrinkled
,
and
not
none
apearing
in
his
Eyebrows
,
then
●e
is
a
young
Horse
;
but
the
contrary
denotes
him
old
.
If
his
skin
come
up
easie
and
fall
smooth
when
let
go
,
denotes
him
young
;
but
if
he
be
of
a
dark
colour
,
and
●he
Hair
of
his
Eyebrows
turn
grey
or
grisled
,
or
it

it
betokens
Age
:
Or
if
a
white
Horse
have
a
●●ack
or
red
Mannel
over
his
Body
,
it
signifies
the

.
If
the
Bars
of
his
Mouth
be
large

deep

rough
in

then
he
is
aged
;
but
if
the
contrary

then
young

fit
for
Service

●urther
general
Rules
necessary
to
be
known
by
the
Horseman
and
Farrier
,
from
warrantable
Experience
.
A
Mare
's
best
breeding-time
for
a
race
of
good
Horses
,
between
three
and
ten
years
,
and
in
suffering
her
sooner

take
the
Horse
,
she
will
produce
weak
and
sickly
Colts
,
●r
such
dull
ones
as
are
not
worth
rearing
.
Put
your
Stal●on
to
her
in
close
warm
Pasture
,
and
feed
them
well
;
●t
great
care
be
taken
of
the
Mare
when
she
has
con●eiv'd
,
often
housed
,
and
fed
with
warm
Mashes
.
The

ought
not
to
exceed
her
in
Age
above
a

,
to

firm
limbed

strorngly
chested

free
as
pos●●ble
from
Diseases

Sorrances
:
Ride
the
Mare
some●●mes
,
but
gently
till
she
has
quicken'd

and
the
Colt
be
come
to
some
perfection
;
House
her

let
her

Cummin-seeds
.
For
gelding
Colts
,
the
Spring
and
Fall
are
the
b●times
,
the
weather
being
open

Wean
them
at

it
yo●

then
p●●
them
out
of

of

,
that
they
may

after

:
Feed
him
with

boiled
Barl●
and
put
him
in
short
sweet
Pasture
every

.
Back
him
not
till
three
years
old
,
lest
you
make
hi●
weak
in
the
Loins
,
or
sway-back
;
besides
,
it
hinders
h●
growth
,
and
generally
renders
him
lame
in
his
Limbs
,
th●
you
may
make
him
familiar

you
,
that
when
yo●
come
to
do
it
,
it
may
be
done
with
little
trouble
:
A●●

Horse
,
much
approved
.
●f
the
Horse
be
wild
and
skittish
,
impatient
of
the
Sad●●

Trench
,
and
when
they
are
offer'd
to
make
him
●iliar
with
the
sight
of
them
,
always
hang
them
near
●
in
the
Stable
:
Offer
it
till
you
see
some
willingness
in

to
accept
it
;
girt
the
Saddle
on
gently
,
and
put
wisps

his

put

an

as
may
usually
happen
in

;
by

means
you

become

Then
take

THE
Compleat
Horseman
:
OR
,
TRUE
ART
of
Horsemanship
,
In
all
its
Parts
and
Perfections
;
Under
sundry
Heads
.
And
first
of
all
,
●
Brief
Introduction
to
this
Undertaking
,
to
render
it
more
apt
to
be
understood
by
the
READER
.
BEfore
I
come
to
speak
of
the
Action
,
wherein
the
true
Understanding
hereof
is
most
proper
,
I
purpose
to
give
a
little
further
Instruction
;
and
first
of
the
Voice
:
When
you
mind
to
help
your
●orse
therewith
,
it
must
be
with
a
most
mild
and
cheerful
●e
;
as
to
say
,
Hey
,
hey
;
hola
,
hola
;
so
boy
,
so
;
hup
,
hup
;
●ough
,
enough
,
no
more
;
and
many
other
such-like
;
but
a
●orrection
is
clean
contrary
,
when
with
a
terrible
and
●undering
Voice
;
whereas
in
cherishing
,
the
most
mild
●d
sweet
Voice
is
used
,
as
,
My
good
Boy
,
so
my
good
boy
,
●th
an
Inclination
of
tending
your
Body
to
him
,
and
●h-like
Encouragements
.
So
as
also
the
sound
of
the
Voice
to
be
used
,
as
well
as
a
Voice
pronounced
,
by
givin●
a
chirk
with
the
Tongue
,
which
may
be
called
clacking
,
i●
pronouncing
whereof
the
tip
of
the
Tongue
striketh
the
roof
of
the
Mouth
:
And
so
also
there
is
another
sound
o●
the
Voice
,
as
Hah
halo
.
The
next
is
the
Hand
,
the
true
use
and
government
whereof
is
the
Ground
of
the
whole
Art
;
and
as
for
the
Bridle
and
the
Rod
,
they
are
but
dead
and
sensless
Instruments
,
without
all
use
,
when
they
are
not
appointed
for
the
right
one
,
of
the
temperate
and
steddy
Hand
bearing
upon
a
firm
and
moderate
stay
neither
too
much
slacking
,
nor
too
much
drawing
in
,
every
good
Horse
causeth
a
true
and
just
Rein
,
bearing
a
staidness
,
with
a
light
and
sweet
Mouth
in
all
actions
;
so
a●
whatsoever
the
Horse
doth
,
is
both
easie
,
ready
,
and
perfect
,
and
being
done
with
delight
,
must
of
necessity
be
best
done
,
because
it
best
pleaseth
both
Man
and
Horse
,
neither
of
them
being
moved
to
any
perturbation
,
grief
,
o●
pain
,
and
as
for
the
rod
and
wand
being
instruments
onl●
for
the
hand
,
how
and
when
they
are
to
be
offered
,
use●
or
not
used
,
and
for
the
Bridle
which
the
Italians
properly
call
,
Il
manico
deltimone
,
the
handle
of
the
sterne
,
w●
shall
for
the
present
pass
them
by
.
The
third
thing
is
the
Legs
,
wherein
the
use
of
the
calve●
of
the
Legs
,
the
Heels
,
the
Stirrup
,
and
the
Spur
are
to
b●
handled
,
I
shall
,
to
avoid
repetition
and
all
manner
of
tediousness
,
refer
them
also
to
their
proper
places
,
and
at
present
divide
this
our
immediate
concernment
into
certain
general
Grounds
or
Rules
,
to
follow
which
the
Rider
may
have
daily
use
in
teaching
the
whole
Art
to
his
Horse
.
For
as
a
young
Scholar
is
to
be
taught
,
so
a
young
Horse
in
the
beginning
is
to
be
managed
,
whereby
all
their
Actions
might
bring
delight
and
admiration
to
the
Beholder●
and
this
must
be
done
by
mild
and
slow
teaching
,
not
to●
much
,
for
a
Horse
may
be
wearied
with
long
teaching
●●
one
time
,
but
giving
him
often
breath
,
high
keeping
●●
courage
,
often
rewarding
,
cherishing
,
using
great
famili●rity
,
and
observing
he
has
no
change
of
the
Rider
till
he
●●
perfect
,
no
change
of
bit
,
nor
rough
bit
,
no
cutting
or
ga●ling
of
his
nose
or
mouth
,
but
gentleness
to
render
hi●
easie
,
no
beating
nor
whipping
,
no
violence
or
passion
,
but
proceed
with
all
manner
of
immitation
of
Nature's
delight
,
this
maketh
all
the
Horses
actions
more
then
wonderful
,
because
Nature
hath
a
natural
love
to
it self
,
and
an
innate
hatred
to
all
things
that
are
Enemies
to
the
same
,
which
is
plainly
testifyed
by
that
natural
sympathy
and
antipathy
,
which
may
be
observed
in
all
Creatures
,
as
the
Lamb
which
never
had
experience
of
the
Wolf's
cruelty
,
yet
at
the
first
sight
of
him
doth
tremble
and
fly
for
fear
,
Of
Correction
.
Secondly
,
That
the
Rider
never
correct
his
Horse
,
but
when
gentle
means
and
cherishing
will
not
prevail
,
for
no
doubt
but
that
he
will
willingly
yield
by
gentle
means
,
if
it
be
made
sensible
unto
him
,
what
,
how
,
and
when
to
do
,
but
that
Horse
that
will
not
be
moved
by
gentle
means
,
let
the
Rider
assure
himself
that
he
is
of
a
bad
Nature
,
but
if
any
thing
shall
happen
wherein
of
necessity
correction
is
to
be
used
;
but
if
he
offend
,
in
the
instant
that
he
erreth
,
correct
him
,
wherein
how
many
do
offend
,
all
Mens
eyes
are
Witnesses
,
beholding
the
common
Horse-breakers
,
and
ignorant
Rider
to
minister
violent
correction
,
when
the
Beholder
cannot
so
much
as
find
a
cause
,
nor
himself
express
the
reason
,
but
error
evermore
taketh
that
for
truth
which
is
false
,
so
as
it
plainly
appeareth
,
that
when
a
Horse
hath
been
taught
,
and
yet
notwithstanding
erreth
in
his
discipline
,
correct
him
for
error
,
but
not
for
ignorance
,
which
renders
the
Rider
either
to
be
mad
,
or
as
ignorant
as
the
Horse
.
Teaching
,
not
fit
for
such
Horses
,
as
Nature
hath
not
framed
sit
to
be
taught
.
Thirdly
,
That
all
Riders
lose
no
time
in
teaching
of
good
Horses
,
but
as
for
club-headed
,
distorted
,
ugly-countenanced
,
fleshy
,
gouty-limm'd
,
short
thick-necked
,
fleshy-chopped
,
having
their
heads
set
to
their
necks
as
a
hog
,

(
that
is

of

in

,
without
all

)
causeth
and
maintaineth
the
particular
action
of
the
Body
wherein
it
is
;
and
such
shaped
Horses
were
never
compounded
or
framed
of
a
true
temperature
of
the
Elements
,
and
therefore
impossible
to
be
reduced
to
perfection
of
Action
,
otherwise
than
by
abuse
and
great
force
,
which
Nature
abhorreth
,
and
that
is
but
for
a
small
time
,
such
as
these
made
use
of
do
fully
the
glory
of
the
Kingdom
,
disparage
the
judgment
thereof
,
discourage
many
Gentlemen
,
either
to
become
Breeders
,
Riders
,
or
Maintainers
of
Horses
,
and
cast
mists
over
the
perfections
of
our
English
Riders
.
Of
the
Bridle
,
Saddle
,
and
bringing
the
Horse
to
the
Block
;
the
mounting
and
seat
of
the
Rider
,
and
of
the
Ring
and
first
entering
on
that
Exercise
.
When
the
Horse
is
made
gentle
,
familiar
and
fit
for
the
Rider
to
teach
,
put
on
a
head-stall
or
cavetsane
over
his
nose
,
with
a
pair
of
strong
reins
,
but
so
lose
and
easie
for
his
nose
,
as
may
neither
hurt
nor
abate
his
courage
,
or
his
quick
and
fresh
feeling
,
and
in
a
most
gentle
manner
set
a
saddle
upon
him
,
with
an
upright
short
pommel
,
so
as
that
the
true
use
of
the
Hand
may
not
be
hindered
or
injured
,
the
holsters
whereof
should
be
broad
in
the
top
,
to
inclose
the
thigh
,
and
yet
to
bear
so
slope
that
the
knee
be
not
pinched
,
neither
the
thigh
kept
from
the
true
resting-place
;
the
seat
whereof
should
be
of
a
reasonable
length
and
largeness
,
the
bolsters
behind
bearing
forward
to
inclose
and
support
the
thigh
to
the
formost
bolsters
,
the
straps
broad
and
strong
,
with
broad
girths
,
and
very
strong
and
broad
buckles
,
cross
girded
,
so
as
the
saddle
may
rest
firm
on
his
back
,
whereby
the
seat
will
be
easie
,
sure
and
certain
without
motion
,
leaving
the
near
stirrop-leather
almost
half
a
hole
longer
then
the
right
stirrop
,
and
altho'
the
Horse
be
gentle
,
yet
because
he
hath
a
new
Master
and
Rider
not
known
unto
him
,
being
neither
assured
of
himself
,
nor
of
that
his
Rider
would
have
him
to
do
,
so
as
it
may
be
truly
said
,
he
is
not
himself
,
but
that
he
is
troubled
in
mind
,
therefore
to
keep
him
from
fear
and
perturbation
,
I
would
have
a
quiet
staid
Horse
also
sadled
to
be
rid
before
him
,
and
then
bring
them
both
to
the
Block
,
●ut
the
old
Horse
first
,
and
then
the
Colt
,
at
which
time
let
●he
Rider
use
all
the
mild
and
gentle
words
to
the
young
Horse
,
making
the
reins
of
the
bridle
even
and
just
,
holding
●hem
in
his
left
hand
,
not
stiff
,
nor
altogether
remiss
or
loose
●nd
as
soon
as
he
is
mounted
on
his
back
,
let
him
sit
quiet●
there
a
while
,
least
any
sudden
motion
should
breed
any
●erturbation
in
the
Horse
,
until
the
Rider
has
setled
him●●lf
in
the
saddle
,
his
nose
directly
answering
the
Horse's
●retop
betwixt
his
ears
,
his
legs
hanging
strait
down
,
nei●●er
thrusting
down
the
toe
,
nor
lifting
up
the
heel
,
but
●ith
his
foot
with
such
evenness
in
the
sturrop
,
as
if
he
stood
●pon
the
ground
,
the
sturrop-leathers
rather
short
then
●ng
,
winding
his
toes
something
nearer
to
the
Horse's
●de
then
the
heel
,
holding
the
reins
even
with
his
crest
,
●nd
the
point
of
the
withers
,
a
little
above
the
main
,
with
●s
thighs
and
knees
close
to
the
saddle
,
and
his
feet
rest●g
in
the
sturrop
in
due
place
,
not
too
far
thrust
into
the
●urrop
,
with
an
upright
and
strait
body
;
his
ridge-bone
●●swering
the
ridge-bone
of
the
Horse
,
so
as
the
Horse
●d
Rider
may
ever
seem
to
be
as
one
body
in
all
motions
,
●●ring
which
time
let
the
Rider
claw
the
Horse
with
his
●nd
,
to
remove
from
him
all
fear
or
hard
conceit
of
his
●●ing
,
that
done
,
let
him
go
forward
about
two
paces
●re
and
softly
,
and
stay
again
,
making
much
of
him
,
and
●
softly
and
quietly
to
the
place
where
he
intendeth
to
●ead
out
a
ring
,
all
which
must
be
done
by
the
Rider
,
●●dly
and
without
fear
;
and
as
he
must
be
thus
used
in
●ing
forward
,
so
must
he
be
used
in
treading
and
pacing
●t
the
Ring
,
in
some
new
plowed
ground
,
that
is
most
●ep
of
mould
;
where
first
let
the
old
Horse
enter
betwixt
●o
furrows
,
so
far
as
the
Rider
may
have
space
and
mould
●ugh
,
and
follow
with
the
young
Horse
close
to
him
,
which
●l
cause
him
the
willinger
to
go
,
because
he
is
directed
●●
guided
by
the
old
Horse
,
by
which
means
he
will
not
●
any
way
discouraged
;
then
let
the
old
Horse
(
the
young
●●se
following
)
enter
on
the
right
Hand
,
overthwart
the
●●ows
,
and
tread
out
twice
together
a
round
ring
,
con●ing
in
a
circuit
about
thirty
paces
,
and
being
come
about
the
second
time
where
he
began
,
let
him
tread
out
the
like
ring
on
the
left
hand
,
and
after
he
hath
gone
twice
about
,
let
him
begin
again
on
the
left
hand
,
and
so
continue
until
he
has
gone
four
times
about
the
left
ring
,
and
the
righ●
six
times
,
that
done
,
let
him
go
fare
and
softly
out
of
the
self-same
furrow
where
he
began
,
about
thirty
or
forty
paces
,
and
there
stand
still
,
keeping
his
head
and
his
body
right
in
the
path
,
remembring
always
to
have
one
go
by
,
to
signifie
his
true
performance
,
and
to
help
if
need
be
,
and
then
let
him
go
very
gently
back
from
the
place
he
came
and
there
let
the
Rider
alight
,
and
make
much
of
him
,
by
coying
him
,
giving
him
a
little
grass
,
hay
,
or
bread
in
hi●
mouth
,
to
procure
and
win
love
,
and
thus
let
him
be
used
for
two
days
,
with
a
Horse
before
him
,
and
after
him
;
let
him
then
lead
and
begin
himself
,
to
tread
and
pace
the
ring
in
this
gentle
manner
for
the
space
of
ten
days
,
keeping
a
temperate
,
staid
and
firm
hand
upon
the
reins
,
with
a
swee●
feeling
stay
,
carrying
his
forehead
as
Rams
do
,
when
they
go
to
fight
,
whereby
he
will
not
only
rein
well
,
but
bea●
his
head
staid
,
just
and
right
,
and
when
he
knoweth
what
to
do
,
and
that
for
it
he
is
always
cherished
,
he
will
strive
to
do
it
faster
and
faster
;
through
the
Rider's
continua●
keeping
of
his
hand
steady
,
the
Horse
will
do
it
with
a
wonderful
pride
and
delight
,
by
giving
him
liberty
,
but
a
to●
hasty
treating
of
the
Horse
will
work
the
contrary
in
hi●
exercises
,
&c.
Of
Trotting
in
the
Ring
,
and
other
Paces
to
be
taught
Horse
,
to
bring
him
to
be
manageable
and
fit
for
prope●
Services
,
&c.
In
the
pacing
of
the
ring
,
the
Rider
must
not
carry
an●
over
hard
hand
to
dull
the
sense
,
but
so
temperately
a●
the
feeling
may
be
always
fresh
,
otherwise
by
the
violen●
haling
and
much
galling
his
Nose
,
where
he
'd
willingly
hav●
ease
,
to
avoid
it
,
he
will
set
his
head
and
his
neck
awry
,
th●
true
use
whereof
is
,
that
standing
in
the
furrow
just
an●
streight
with
his
Body
,
the
Rider
moves
him
gently
to
g●
forwards
,
and
in
the
very
motion
turns
him
on
the
righ●
hand
,
by
drawing
very
softly
the
right
rein
shorter
with
h●●
right
hand
,
low
under
the
pommel
of
the
Saddle
,
whereunto
if
he
yeild
(
as
no
doubt
but
he
will
)
especially
having
trod
the
same
before
;
let
the
Rider
presently
make
much
of
him
,
neither
drawing
nor
slacking
the
rein
:
At
which
time
of
his
doing
,
both
for
the
ease
of
the
Rider
and
the
Horse
,
if
need
shall
be
,
let
some
skilful
Person
,
his
Keeper
were
most
fit
,
come
on
his
left
side
to
his
fore
Shoulder
,
and
thrust
him
in
by
little
and
little
,
and
the
Rider
also
by
the
Calf
of
the
left
Leg
,
and
the
cluck
of
his
Tongue
to
be
a
help
to
make
him
go
forward
:
If
the
Horse
be
such
an
one
as
I
have
describ'd
,
he
will
do
it
;
but
if
he
should
not
in
the
very
motion
of
the
turn
,
then
let
the
Rider
draw
the
Rein
with
his
Hand
as
before
,
whether
it
be
on
the
right
hand
,
or
on
the
left
,
all
which
must
be
done
by
gentle
dealing
,
so
as
the
Horse
may
hope
for
rest
and
quietness
,
whereby
he
will
be
ready
to
do
whatsoever
his
Rider
will
;
but
if
he
be
a
Jade
,
or
of
an
evil
disposition
by
Nature
,
for
my
own
part
,
I
esteem
him
not
of
any
worth
,
not
fit
to
be
kept
.
Having
spoken
of
pacing
the
Horse
in
the
Ring
,
it
followeth
,
that
after
ten
days
expir'd
,
the
Horse
be
taught
to
trot
the
Ring
,
which
must
be
begun
in
as
slow
and
as
gentle
a
trot
as
he
was
in
his
first
beginning
of
pacing
;
encrease
his
Ring-turns
by
two
and
two
every
day
,
until
he
make
ten
turns
for
the
left
Ring
,
and
twelve
for
the
right
,
which
will
augment
his
swiftness
,
whereof
he
should
be
restrained
,
until
he
be
most
perfect
,
and
then
he
will
do
is
with
the
greatest
grace
and
pride
that
may
be
imagined
,
which
is
the
true
Property
and
Quality
of
all
Art
,
evermore
to
affect
and
to
effect
Perfection
;
during
which
time
of
beginning
of
trotting
,
he
may
not
be
ridden
with
a
Wand
,
nor
wear
any
Bit
,
until
he
be
most
perfect
in
his
trot
,
stop
,
and
turn
well
on
both
hands
,
;
and
not
by
any
means
suffer'd
to
gallop
,
until
that
he
can
also
perfectly
●dvance
:
By
taking
of
this
course
he
will
be
just
in
his
Pace
,
and
trot
and
stop
with
a
staid
Head
and
Neck
,
be●ng
the
chief
lustre
and
goodness
that
Nature
and
Art
affordeth
.
Wherefore
when
you
begin
to
trot
the
Ring
,
be
sure
that
at
the
first
he
is
moved
thereunto
as
gently
an●
quietly
as
you
can
devise
,
and
so
in
every
Action
whatsoever
,
upon
a
restrained
,
temperate
,
and
firm
hand
,
with
a
sweet
Stay
,
and
with
a
true
Rein
,
that
is
,
that
his
Nose
be
just
under
his
Forehead
,
neither
too
much
out
,
nor
too
much
in
,
which
is
the
just
placing
and
setting
of
his
Head
,
and
will
make
him
have
a
pleasant
Mouth
,
when
he
cometh
to
wear
the
Bit
,
in
which
consisteth
the
chief
point
of
Horsemanship
,
because
he
is
so
to
be
maintain'd
in
all
his
Actions
:
This
is
most
easie
to
be
done
and
continued
,
if
the
Horse
be
of
perfect
shape
and
spirit
;
but
if
he
should
make
resistance
,
for
that
he
is
either
rammage
or
evil
broken
,
then
trot
him
swiftly
with
quickness
of
Voice
,
Rod
and
Spur
,
for
the
time
of
his
troting
is
the
fittest
time
to
make
him
forget
his
Toyls
,
and
to
attend
his
way
;
and
●●
an
this
will
not
help
,
●hen
spare
not
to
gallop
him
;
and
if
this
fails
,
then
be
sure
he
will
be
a
Jade
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
,
for
a
Horse
of
a
good
temper
and
perfect
shape
can
never
be
of
so
bad
a
nature
and
quality
.
I
shall
next
tell
how
to
make
the
Rider
perfect
in
Stop
.
After
he
hath
ended
the
number
of
his
Ring-turns
,
which
is
,
to
trot
his
Horse
right
out
in
the
middle
Furrow
,
betwixt
the
Rings
,
until
he
come
to
the
place
of
stop
,
and
there
to
make
a
pretty
stay
,
keeping
his
Body
right
in
the
path
,
wherein
if
the
whole
Body
or
any
part
stand
overthwart
,
seek
not
at
first
to
correct
him
for
it
thro'
your
too
much
Passion
,
but
let
a
a
Foot-man
direct
him
to
stand
right
in
the
Path
,
as
we
said
before
,
by
thrusting
in
that
part
which
stands
out
of
order
,
or
that
he
may
cause
the
Horse
to
go
farther
in
the
same
Path
,
and
stop
him
,
holding
that
Rein
streighter
on
that
side
whereon
he
most
forceth
his
Head
than
the
other
,
which
will
enforce
him
to
keep
right
;
which
when
he
yieldeth
,
ever
cherish
him
;
and
after
it
will
be
convenient
to
trot
and
stop
him
on
a
Ground
that
is
a
little
steep
,
which
something
falleth
,
and
immediately
riseth
;
but
when
he
is
perfect
then
he
may
do
it
on
a
Ground
very
steep
.
But
to
teach
him
to
go
back
,
you
must
keep
a
firm
staid
hand
on
him
,
without
giving
him
any
Liberty
,
and
then
gently
striking
him
on
the
Neck
with
his
Rod
,
in
that
instant
say
,
Back
,
back
;
but
if
he
refuse
,
let
a
Foot-man
with
a
rod
gently
strike
him
on
the
Knees
,
and
so
,
by
the
gentle
puiling
in
of
the
Rider's
hand
,
and
fair
means
,
oblige
him
to
it
.
The
proper
Vse
of
the
Wand
,
Bit
,
and
Spur
,
for
the
well
teaching
a
Horse
,
and
to
bring
him
to
his
Pacings
and
Management
.
Having
shew'd
how
to
ride
a
Horse
without
a
Wand
,
Bit
,
or
Spur
,
I
will
now
shew
you
how
to
manage
all
three
,
together
with
the
true
Use
of
the
Hand
upon
the
Bit
,
one
of
the
principal
pieces
of
Horsemanship
.
First
therefore
,
when
he
that
rides
with
a
Wand
,
let
him
take
it
warily
,
that
the
Horse
be
not
frighted
therewith
;
and
to
ascertain
the
Horse
thereof
,
presently
after
he
has
receiv'd
it
,
toy
and
scratch
him
about
the
Neck
with
the
end
thereof
:
And
for
the
carrying
it
,
it
must
be
in
the
right
hand
,
with
the
Joynt
upright
,
and
when
he
must
use
it
,
let
the
point
fall
close
unto
him
as
occasion
shall
require
;
but
in
his
management
of
of
it
,
let
him
lay
his
hand
on
his
right
Thigh
,
and
the
Wand
across
the
Horse's
Neck
;
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
turn
on
the
left
hand
,
let
him
lift
up
his
hand
and
rod
,
and
hold
the
point
right
forward
on
the
right
side
against
his
Eye
,
and
as
he
changeth
turns
,
so
let
him
change
his
rod
of
the
one
side
and
of
the
other
;
but
if
his
Horse
will
not
turn
on
the
side
he
would
have
him
,
let
him
strike
him
on
the
contrary
side
;
and
when
he
is
any
way
disorder'd
,
let
him
carry
the
Wand
on
the
contrary
side
;
and
when
he
would
have
him
carry
his
fore
part
right
,
strike
him
on
the
Shoulder
or
Fore-legs
;
and
when
he
would
have
him
light
behind
,
strike
him
on
the
rump
and
hanches
.
And
thus
much
for
the
Use
of
the
Wand
,
as
occasion
shall
serve
.
Now
for
the
use
of
the
Bit
,
which
is
an
Instrument
only
guided
and
directed
by
the
hand
,
and
because
the
Ground
of
the
Art
,
of
Riding
depends
wholly
upon
the
use
and
true
government
of
the
hand
;
being
guided
by
Reason
and
Discourse
,
so
as
the
Horse
,
in
all
Motions
and
Actions
,
●
and
ought
to
answer
to
that
Motion
which
the
hand
moveth
;
I
must
not
pass
it
over
lightly
.
First
therefore
,
let
the
Bit
that
you
first
bit
your
Horse
withal
be
gentle
and
pleasant
,
yet
so
,
that
the
gentleness
cause
him
not
to
despise
the
Rider
,
nor
the
hardness
drive
him
to
despair
;
for
you
must
understand
,
that
Knowledge
always
presupposeth
Reason
,
and
Reason
Sence
and
Sence
and
Reason
;
all
which
consists
in
a
true
mediocrity
;
and
therefore
amongst
the
most
learned
Precepts
that
were
written
in
the
Temple
of
Apollo
in
Greece
,
this
was
in
the
second
place
,
Nothing
too
much
.
For
,
if
you
press
him
with
the
Bridle
,
if
he
carry
his
head
well
,
yet
must
you
presently
ease
your
Bridle-hand
,
and
make
much
of
him
,
because
he
sheweth
himself
obedient
to
you
and
whensoever
he
doth
any
thing
well
,
and
with
delight
,
you
must
be
very
careful
not
to
vox
him
,
but
ever
so
to
win
him
,
that
he
may
be
willing
to
please
you
.
So
likewise
when
he
bears
a
firm
hand
with
a
stay
,
that
thereby
the
Horse
brings
in
his
head
,
and
yields
to
his
hand
,
yet
he
must
shorten
the
Reins
of
his
Bridle
till
his
head
be
setled
in
its
due
place
,
that
is
,
neither
to
carry
his
Forehead
too
much
out
nor
too
much
in
,
and
still
to
maintain
him
in
that
form
in
all
his
doings
,
yet
not
so
that
it
exceed
mediocrity
or
temperature
,
but
remain
light
on
the
hand
with
a
sweet
mouth
.
Thus
having
shew'd
the
Rider
,
that
it
must
be
done
by
keeping
this
order
,
I
proceed
.
Let
him
stay
his
Horse
temperately
upon
an
even
hand
,
as
his
resistance
shall
require
,
without
giving
any
other
Liberty
,
then
with
his
Rod
to
strike
him
gently
upon
the
bowing
of
the
Neck
,
provoking
him
mildly
with
the
Spur
on
that
side
on
which
he
most
wryeth
his
Buttock
,
to
the
●nd
that
he
may
go
just
,
until
he
draw
back
one
of
his
fore
Feet
,
which
if
he
do
,
make
much
of
him
,
and
then
stay
a
while
and
do
the
like
,
drawing
only
the
Bridle
,
for
the
former
cherishing
will
make
him
to
understand
,
and
then
〈…〉
go
lightly
back
with
both
the
fore
Legs
,
when
he
is
touched
on
the
Neck
with
the
Rod
,
saying
with
a
loud
Voice
,
Back
;
at
which
Voice
,
with
the
feeling
of
the
Rod
and
drawing
of
the
Bridle
,
he
will
go
back
to
the
Rider's
desire
:
And
always
after
,
when
he
is
out
of
the
due
and
true
stay
upon
the
Bridle
,
let
him
do
the
like
,
that
is
,
to
go
back
in
form
aforesaid
;
and
altho'
some
disorder
be
committed
,
let
not
the
Rider
despair
,
for
he
shall
find
him
easily
won
to
a
good
Mouth
,
by
this
use
of
a
temperate
and
firm
Hand
,
which
is
by
the
mediocrity
of
slacking
and
drawing
,
properly
named
a
sweet
Stay
,
making
him
light
upon
the
hand
,
champing
the
Bit
with
great
pleasure
,
and
a
stay'd
Head
in
due
place
,
the
true
Tokens
whereof
are
just
Reins
,
staid
,
and
a
light-born
Head
with
pleasure
on
the
Bit
,
being
Properties
inseparable
in
every
perfectshap'd
Horse's
Actions
.
But
because
it
may
seem
very
difficult
to
have
a
continuance
of
Perfection
in
every
action
,
altho'
it
is
common
upon
stop
,
or
standing
still
,
to
be
in
order
,
yet
perhaps
,
upon
motion
,
he
will
leave
playing
upon
the
Bit
,
and
bear
upon
the
head
,
especially
upon
the
main
courier
,
which
proceeds
from
the
want
of
true
Knowledge
how
to
maintain
and
continue
the
hand
just
and
firm
with
a
sweet
stay
,
so
as
that
he
may
take
pleasure
on
the
Bit
:
And
therefore
how
to
maintain
a
Horse
both
in
furious
and
quiet
doings
,
is
to
be
consider'd
of
:
If
then
that
at
any
time
he
make
any
disorder
,
note
it
diligently
,
so
stay
him
,
and
make
him
go
backward
;
for
in
going
back
,
he
will
bring
himself
to
his
right
order
agen
:
Then
presently
make
much
of
him
,
and
forthwith
move
him
forwards
fair
and
gently
,
till
he
come
to
the
place
of
stop
.
And
as
he
must
be
thus
used
in
going
forward
,
so
he
must
be
used
in
treading
of
the
Rings
,
first
gently
upon
the
pace
,
upon
the
trot
,
and
upon
the
gallop
,
in
practising
whereof
he
must
precisely
observe
that
it
be
done
with
a
temperate
,
staid
,
and
firm
hand
,
otherwise
he
will
gape
,
thrust
his
Tongue
upon
the
Bit
,
or
over
the
Bit
,
to
defend
himself
,
thrust
his
head
out
suddenly
,
pluck
it
in
disdainfully
,
or
else
shaking
or
moving
his
head
one
way
or
other
,
to
be
freed
from
the
pressing
of
the
intemperate
hand
,
which
is
to
him
uncouth
and
contrary
to
Nature
the
which
Art
should
evermore
labour
to
please
.
The
true
form
and
practice
of
drawing
the
Bridle
is
also
to
be
learnt
;
which
is
,
that
being
mounted
in
the
Saddle
,
let
the
Rider
draw
the
Reins
equal
;
and
if
the
Horse
know
not
the
Bit
,
then
let
the
Bit
be
very
slack
,
and
let
him
hold
the
Reins
in
his
left
hand
,
with
the
little
finger
and
Ring-finger
between
,
under
the
Pummel
of
the
Saddle
,
as
near
the
Withers
as
he
can
,
and
then
with
the
right
hand
draw
the
Reins
softly
and
equally
together
through
the
left
hand
,
so
as
the
Standers-by
can
scarcely
perceive
it
,
the
which
he
must
not
remove
until
he
feel
the
Horse
to
stay
upon
the
Bit
,
and
there
hold
them
without
slacking
or
further
drawing
,
until
he
perceive
whether
the
Head
stand
in
true
form
;
which
if
it
be
not
,
then
let
him
a
little
yield
his
left
hand
again
,
and
standing
so
a
pretty
while
,
bring
his
left
hand
to
his
former
place
again
,
where
the
Horse
made
the
first
stay
upon
the
Bit
;
then
let
him
draw
the
Reins
with
his
right
hand
somewhat
more
through
the
left
,
as
before
,
but
so
little
and
gently
,
as
,
scarcely
to
be
perceived
,
for
so
must
all
the
motions
of
the
Hand
be
,
and
then
keep
it
firm
and
staid
a
pretty
while
,
and
if
he
yield
,
tho'
very
little
,
let
him
keep
his
hand
still
at
one
stay
,
neither
slackening
nor
drawing
it
,
whereby
he
will
feel
the
ease
that
he
hath
got
by
yielding
;
and
then
presently
make
much
of
him
:
But
if
it
so
happen
,
that
the
Reins
fall
slack
,
let
him
not
remove
his
left
hand
,
but
draw
them
through
his
left
hand
,
as
before
,
for
they
must
not
be
slack
until
they
stay
again
upon
his
right
hand
,
whereunto
whensoever
he
yieldeth
,
make
much
of
him
,
continuing
still
in
this
manner
to
solicite
him
till
his
Head
be
in
its
due
place
,
that
is
,
neither
too
much
out
,
nor
too
much
in
;
after
which
,
if
he
bear
not
light
,
let
his
Rider
strike
him
gently
on
the
Knees
of
his
fore
Legs
,
to
make
him
to
go
back
,
whereby
he
will
bring
in
his
head
,
and
then
will
the
Bit
move
,
and
his
Hand
find
ease
;
but
let
him
be
very
careful
at
that
instant
to
keep
his
hand
so
firm
as
that
he
neither
slack
nor
draw
in
,
to
the
end
he
may
feel
and
receive
the
ease
of
his
own
motion
of
yielding
,
which
willingly
he
will
not
loose
,
it
being
delightful
to
his
nature
,
but
take
some
pleasure
to
stir
the
Bit
in
his
Mouth
,
and
go
backward
with
it
;
the
which
when
the
Rider
finds
,
are
tokens
of
the
winning
of
his
Mouth
,
which
to
his
great
satisfaction
being
won
,
with
observation
of
good
order
,
he
may
be
brought
to
a
more
continued
Perfection
.
Thus
I
have
shew'd
the
expert
Rider
so
much
as
the
Art
may
help
him
;
but
if
the
Shape
and
Nature
of
the
Horse
be
opposite
and
repugnant
,
as
in
the
greatest
number
of
Horses
,
it
is
to
no
purpose
;
howsoever
,
for
a
time
it
may
seem
to
be
taught
,
yet
questionless
it
cannot
be
of
any
continuance
.
But
because
in
the
whole
Art
of
Riding
there
is
no
one
thing
more
difficult
than
to
make
a
Horse
trot
just
:
And
that
the
Perfection
thereof
is
the
Perfection
of
all
other
of
his
Doings
I
purpose
to
give
further
Rules
.
Particular
Rules
and
Directions
for
the
Management
of
a
Horse
,
to
train
him
up
to
a
good
and
commendable
Trot
,
being
the
Foundation
of
all
.
1.
Let
the
Rider
observe
,
that
when
he
is
teaching
his
Horse
herein
,
or
any
other
Lesson
,
that
he
do
not
trouble
him
with
any
other
thing
at
that
time
,
neither
suffer
him
to
begin
to
learn
any
other
.
2.
That
he
do
not
suffer
any
other
to
ride
him
until
he
be
perfected
by
himself
in
such
Lessons
as
he
taught
him
,
lest
he
should
be
confus'd
by
the
diversity
of
Teachers
,
and
their
manner
of
Teaching
.
3.
That
when
he
is
brought
to
a
just
Stay
of
Head
,
and
assurance
of
the
Bit
,
that
then
the
Rider
is
to
maintain
him
therein
to
a
full
perfection
.
4.
When
he
is
out
of
order
,
then
let
him
stay
him
,
and
make
him
go
back
,
as
before
was
mentioned
.
5.
When
he
is
in
order
,
then
let
him
make
much
of
him
,
and
stay
not
long
,
but
with
a
firm
hand
gently
put
him
into
his
Trot
again
.
6.
If
he
continue
in
his
good
order
,
cherish
him
,
guiding
his
Body
,
with
a
pleasant
and
gentle
motion
of
the
Calves
of
your
Legs
move
him
to
do
it
more
expeditiously
,
which
if
he
be
of
a
good
nature
,
he
will
speedily
perform
;
always
remembering
to
keep
a
firm
hand
,
unless
he
bring
in
his
Head
.
7.
if
his
Trot
continue
not
light
upon
your
hand
,
stay
him
,
and
cause
him
to
go
back
,
which
will
bring
him
in
order
again
,
and
then
gently
put
him
into
his
Pace
,
and
so
to
his
Trot
,
as
before
;
which
being
well
done
,
cherish
and
delight
him
with
all
the
sweetness
that
may
be
,
so
that
the
Rider
may
ever
win
his
Love
thereby
;
guide
him
home
by
some
leading
Lines
,
and
give
him
a
little
Grass
or
Hay
out
of
your
hand
;
tickle
,
scratch
him
,
and
speak
to
him
most
loving
words
,
which
will
make
him
at
his
next
Exercise
do
all
things
to
his
Rider's
greatest
content
,
and
within
twenty
days
,
or
thereabouts
,
he
will
Pace
and
Trot
in
such
order
,
as
that
the
Rider
may
always
afterwards
trot
him
most
swiftly
in
the
Rings
or
in
the
Manage
.
8.
In
his
swift
Trot
,
by
all
means
keep
your
true
Seat
and
firm
Hand
,
so
that
he
lose
not
that
excellent
form
and
grace
before
prescribed
;
but
do
not
Gallop
him
till
he
be
just
and
perfect
in
his
swift
Trot
,
and
then
out
of
that
trot
,
to
put
him
to
a
swifter
gallop
in
the
large
Rings
,
even
to
the
Stop
:
But
beware
you
draw
not
your
hand
hastily
to
you
,
but
by
a
little
sway
of
your
Body
,
Back
and
Hand
together
,
and
stay
your
hand
there
until
he
retreat
a
step
or
two
,
and
there
stay
him
,
and
suffer
him
not
to
go
forward
,
and
at
that
instant
to
make
much
of
him
,
and
so
let
your
hand
and
body
reassume
the
same
place
again
.
9.
If
he
should
then
offer
to
go
forwards
,
stay
him
with
the
like
sway
,
and
then
alight
,
and
lead
him
home
,
making
much
of
him
,
as
you
did
before
.
10.
I
dare
to
assure
the
Rider
of
the
right
use
of
what
hath
been
said
,
and
of
the
success
thereof
,
therefore
let
him
follow
his
Practice
,
and
continue
it
;
let
him
pace
his
Horse
overthwart
some
deep
Fallow
as
fast
as
he
can
for
half
an
hour
,
but
suffer
him
not
by
any
means
to
trot
,
keeping
his
hand
in
a
firm
and
temperate
stay
,
as
before
,
and
if
he
still
find
his
head
in
due
place
,
his
carriage
light
and
pleasant
upon
the
Bit
,
he
may
assure
himself
that
he
hath
gain'd
the
perfection
of
the
Hand
,
and
the
true
use
thereof
,
for
the
teaching
and
making
of
a
young
Horse
;
wherein
observe
,
that
if
he
be
of
a
perfect
shape
,
his
Head
will
be
in
the
due
place
,
and
light
upon
the
Bit.
Of
the
Manag'd
Horse
,
with
further
Instructions
,
&c.
I
now
intend
to
discourse
a
little
of
the
Horse
that
is
already
taught
,
and
brought
to
perfection
;
with
him
the
expert
Rider
hath
small
need
to
make
use
of
any
Rod
,
or
other
help
,
but
to
keep
his
true
,
just
,
and
perfect
Seat
,
because
his
Horse
,
by
the
least
token
of
the
Bridle
or
Spur
,
will
do
all
things
in
such
time
and
measure
,
as
the
Beholders
will
judge
the
Man
and
Horse
to
be
but
one
Body
,
one
Mind
,
and
one
Will
:
And
therefore
,
how
the
Reins
should
be
carried
,
placed
,
and
used
,
is
the
only
thing
to
be
spoken
of
:
The
Reins
he
must
hold
in
his
left
hand
,
placing
the
little
finger
betwixt
the
two
Reins
,
and
the
thumb
close
upon
the
Reins
,
so
as
the
hand
remove
not
from
the
Crest
of
the
Horse
,
for
by
the
motion
of
the
hand
it
is
signified
to
the
Horse
which
way
you
would
have
him
turn
,
slacking
it
on
the
other
:
The
Order
and
Manner
whereof
hath
been
,
and
is
yet
diversly
used
of
the
best
Horsemen
,
and
therefore
I
leave
it
to
every
man's
use
,
as
he
findeth
it
most
fit
.
But
in
the
running
at
the
Tilt
,
where
the
Horse
neither
doth
nor
can
turn
,
the
Rider
must
not
draw
the
Bridle
towards
the
Tilt
,
but
only
strain
the
Rein
that
is
next
the
Tilt
,
to
make
him
carry
his
head
towards
it
.
(
1.
)
Because
the
true
shape
and
goodness
of
the
nature
of
the
Horse
,
is
it
that
Art
attendeth
and
worketh
upon
,
in
those
Horses
the
Rules
of
Art
have
Perfection
with
continuance
;
so
as
the
Horse
that
is
of
perfect
shape
,
and
well
trught
,
shall
not
endanger
Wind
,
or
Limb
,
or
Deformity
of
Body
.
(
2.
)
His
Person
shall
never
be
in
peril
by
rearing
or
running
away
.
(
3.
)
Nor
shall
the
Rider
never
be
grieved
with
heavy
bearing
upon
his
hand
,
but
perform
all
with
great
delight
.
Neither
shall
he
need
Canetsan
,
Musrole
,
or
Martingale
,
or
such-like
,
but
only
false
Reins
.
(

)
And
lastly
this
Teaching
will
manifest
the
difference
betwixt
the
true
Knowers
and
ignorant
Riders
,
which
will
be
perceiv'd
by
the
Doings
the
Horse
doth
represent
and
express
when
he
would
appear
most
beautiful
,
and
thereby
render
both
the
expert
Reader
,
not
the
ignorant
,
and
himself
,
to
appear
most
nobly
,
with
such
delight
to
the
Beholders
,
that
they
will
seem
to
be
ravish'd
with
it
;
all
which
is
attain'd
by
Discretion
,
taking
of
Time
,
with
Moderation
and
Temperance
,
which
is
little
regarded
,
and
of
very
few
,
who
will
rather
chuse
to
ride
out
of
order
,
and
that
with
such
extremity
of
Spur
and
Rod
,
that
for
want
of
Breath
they
commit
many
strange
Disorders
,
whereby
the
poor
Horse
is
cruelly
tormented
,
having
no
other
to
ride
him
than
one
without
Discretion
.
After
your
Horse
hath
perfectly
learned
swiftly
to
trot
,
and
to
stop
,
and
as
well
to
go
back
,
then
ought
he
to
be
taught
rightly
to
advance
;
which
is
by
lifting
up
both
his
fore-Feet
just
and
even
together
,
like
to
a
Goat
,
somewhat
above
the
Ground
,
and
so
to
let
them
fall
even
and
just
twice
or
thrice
together
,
the
true
doing
whereof
will
cause
him
to
make
a
just
perfect
manage
,
and
a
ready
and
true
turn
:
for
the
attaining
whereof
,
trot
him
gently
forty
or
fifty
foot
in
some
plain
way
,
then
give
him
a
just
stop
,
which
he
will
truly
perform
,
because
be
hath
before
perfectly
learned
the
same
;
let
him
always
keep
a
steady
,
pleasant
,
and
perfect
hand
on
the
Bridle
,
then
instantly
,
with
a
mild
Voice
,
say
,
Hup
,
hup
,
striking
him
at
that
instant
with
his
Wand
on
the
right
Shoulder
,
and
also
with
both
the
Calves
of
the
Legs
together
,
but
spur
him
not
,
if
possibly
without
it
he
will
advance
;
and
this
with
a
little
labour
and
patient
teaching
,
no
doubt
but
he
will
attempt
to
do
twice
or
thrice
together
,
which
if
he
do
,
then
in
that
instant
make
much
of
him
(
although
he
did
it
very
meanly
)
then
let
him
pause
a
little
time
,
and
give
him
breath
,
and
trot
him
again
in
the
same
manner
the
like
distance
of
ground
,
and
as
before
,
so
gently
use
him
again
;
but
if
he
do
not
better
every
time
he
is
taught
,
he
must
be
still
solicited
until
he
do
better
.
And
after
that
he
can
in
plain
ground
perfectly
advance
,
then
teach
him
gently
,
upon
the
hanging
knole
of
a
Hill
,
to
bring
him
perfectly
to
stop
,
and
run
sliding
upon
his
Buttocks
or
hinder
Legs
,
which
is
very
handsom
,
beautiful
,
and
graceful
for
Manage
and
Turn
;
and
therefore
let
him
do
it
before
he
is
taught
any
other
Lesson
then
what
is
shown
;
and
when
he
will
do
it
upon
a
soft
trot
,
upon
the
swift
trot
,
and
afterwards
upon
a
soft
gallop
,
and
not
before
,
but
never
upon
a
swift
gallop
,
until
he
be
perfect
both
in
Turn
and
Manage
.
If
he
advance
too
high
,
and
not
just
and
even
,
with
a
good
grace
,
as
he
ought
,
then
may
the
fault
speedily
be
found
,
and
easily
amended
by
immediately
correcting
him
with
one
even
stroke
over
his
Legs
,
the
Wand
again
order'd
and
convey'd
out
of
his
sight
,
with
a
sweet
staid
hand
on
the
Bridle
:
Few
Tryals
will
soon
amend
and
perfect
what
is
amiss
in
the
Horse
.
And
whereas
some
appoint
many
helps
for
Horses
that
are
harder
to
turn
on
the
one
side
than
on
the
other
,
(
although
I
confess
their
general
Desire
is
more
apt
to
the
left
hand
than
to
the
right
)
yet
to
a
Horse
of
good
Nature
and
perfect
shape
,
a
little
Art
will
speedily
teach
him
to
teach
others
.
Of
Half-turnings
,
Doubles
,
Chambetta
,
Manage
,
Coureir
,
&c.
It
now
remaineth
to
shew
when
to
make
the
Half-turn
,
and
the
Double
,
the
Chambetta
,
the
Manage
,
to
pass
a
swift
Coureir
,
the
Corvet
,
and
such-like
.
After
he
is
very
perfect
in
those
I
have
set
down
,
he
is
to
make
a
true
and
a
just
half
and
double
turn
,
which
should
be
in
this
manner
:
First
,
when
the
Rider
hath
gently
trotted
,
stopped
,
and
advanced
his
Horse
the
length
of
a
short
Coureir
,
let
him
teach
him
gently
and
midly
to
make
the
half
turn
,
(
beginning
always
on
the
right
hand
)
that
is
,
for
the
Rider
to
turn
him
with
the
help
of
his
left
Leg
,
that
his
Head
may
stand
that
way
which
before
his
Tail
stood
;
it
is
called
a
half-turn
,
because
he
maketh
but
half
a
circle
;
but
if
in
the
turn
he
set
his
Head
that
way
it
stood
at
the
first
,
that
is
a
whole
circle
,
and
therefore
called
a
whole-turn
:
But
let
him
first
do
the
half-turn
perfect
,
which
must
be
done
by
helping
him
with
his
Voice
and
Calf
of
his
Leg
,
and
not
at
first
by
any
means
to
have
him
spurred
,
if
he
can
be
otherwise
brought
unto
it
,
because
a
Spur
is
a
correction
which
is
not
to
be
used
,
but
at
that
instant
when
he
hath
committed
an
Error
,
and
not
while
he
remains
ignorant
what
to
do
,
by
which
means
undoubtedly
,
being
a
sensible
Creature
,
he
will
perceive
his
Errors
and
Offences
,
whereby
with
little
correction
he
will
easily
amend
any
Fault
:
Let
the
Rider
never
go
about
to
make
him
despair
,
but
continually
encourage
him
;
for
having
formerly
attain'd
a
perfection
of
a
just
,
even
and
swift
Trot
in
the
Rings
,
(
the
very
true
ground
of
all
other
Lessons
,
)
he
will
easily
turn
on
the
right
hand
,
setting
his
Head
that
way
his
Tail
stood
;
the
which
being
perfectly
attained
,
then
close
it
up
with
another
half-turn
on
the
same
hand
,
with
the
perscrib'd
helps
,
setting
his
Head
and
all
his
Body
in
the
same
way
it
was
at
first
;
so
give
him
Breath
,
and
make
much
of
him
,
then
mak●
him
do
as
much
on
the
left
hand
,
and
to
change
from
hand
to
hand
,
leaning
always
on
the
right
.
1.
In
the
doing
whereof
,
observe
whether
he
bring
on
the
contrary
Leg
orderly
.
2.
That
he
do
it
after
the
first
bound
of
advancing
,
and
after
the
second
or
third
bound
.
3.
That
the
Rider
always
,
as
hath
been
said
,
begin
on
the
right
hand
,
and
end
on
the
right
.
4.
That
after
he
is
perfect
in
doing
of
the
whole
turn
,
that
he
make
him
to
do
it
swiftly
and
roundly
,
without
stop
or
stay
of
the
half-turn
,
and
speedily
in
closing
of
every
whole-turn
,
and
in
as
narrow
a
compass
as
may
be
.
5.
After
he
is
perfect
,
as
aforesaid
,
give
him
on
each
hand
three
whole
turns
,
whereof
let
the
first
be
very
fair
and
softly
,
beginning
at
the
right
hand
,
and
ending
at
the
right
;
in
performing
whereof
,
the
Rider
must
always
help
him
with
his
Tongue
,
his
Rod
and
his
Leg
,
by
which
continual
use
,
before
he
teacheth
him
any
other
Lesson
,
(
which
should
never
be
done
,
unless
he
be
perfect
in
the
Lesson
he
is
learning
)
so
that
the
Rider
shall
in
the
end
,
with
discreet
and
temperate
teaching
,
bring
him
to
an
●●mirable
Perfection
,
keeping
time
and
measure
,
that
the
one
be
not
swifter
than
the
other
;
if
either
,
the
last
,
which
for
the
most
part
is
as
speedy
as
perfect
.
Now
,
to
proceed
to
the
Managing
of
a
Horse
,
the
true
signification
whereof
i●
to
be
rightly
understood
,
by
such
as
intend
to
be
expert
in
Horsemanship
,
for
to
be
ignorant
of
the
Terms
,
is
to
be
ignorant
of
the
Art
;
I
take
it
to
be
a
compound
word
of
the
word
manus
and
ago
,
(
the
Hand
in
this
Art
being
the
Instrument
of
Instruments
)
doth
guide
and
govern
the
Horse
to
every
Action
,
and
therefore
may
fitly
be
said
Mannagere
,
or
as
the
Italians
properly
call
it
,
Maneggiare
,
which
is
as
much
as
skilfully
to
handle
.
And
therefore
when
the
Rider
shall
exercise
the
Horse
perfectly
and
gracefully
in
his
place
,
Trot
,
Stop
,
Advance
,
Double
or
Single-turn
,
Coureir
,
Gallop
,
Leap
,
Caperiole
,
Corvet
,
Assault
,
or
whatsoever
the
Hand
,
being
the
principal
Order
,
or
prime
moter
,
may
truly
and
aptly
be
called
Manage
;
which
cannot
so
rightly
be
done
without
the
general
knowledge
of
the
Practice
of
the
Precepts
of
the
whole
Art
.
And
altho'
many
worthy
Horsemen
have
and
do
only
rest
and
refer
Managing
to
Galloping
,
and
to
bring
a
Horse
to
and
fro
in
one
self-same
path
,
by
half-rest
,
whole-rest
,
and
when
the
Rider
manageth
with
a
half-rest
,
causing
the
Horse
,
at
the
end
of
every
managing
path
,
after
he
hath
stop'd
,
to
advance
twice
together
,
and
at
the
second
bound
to
turn
and
rest
one
bound
;
doth
not
the
Rider
therein
exercise
the
Trot
,
the
Stop
,
the
Advance
,
and
the
Turn
,
which
he
formerly
learned
,
and
according
to
the
same
manner
?
Or
,
when
he
manageth
with
the
whole-rest
,
and
turns
him
at
the
third
bound
,
or
manage
him
without
the
rest
,
by
turning
him
immediately
upon
the
Stop
,
without
any
tarryance
or
rest
at
all
,
which
only
is
most
common
with
us
in
England
;
and
yet
the
managing
of
the
half-rest
is
most
necessary
for
the
attaining
of
perfection
;
doth
not
the
Rider
keep
and
maintain
the
Horse
in
one
path
,
one
place
of
stop
,
making
him
keep
his
Ground
,
and
therein
became
his
Head
,
Neck
,
Legs
,
and
his
Body
just
,
closing
his
turn
roundly
,
and
in
a
narrow
room
,
with
true
time
and
measure
in
every
action
,
as
he
hath
been
formerly
taught
?
How
then
can
managing
be
properly
refer'd
to
one
only
Action
,
when
it
is
the
perfect
acting
of
every
action
and
Lesson
he
hath
learned
,
wherein
when
the
Rider's
Horse
is
most
ready
and
perfect
,
he
may
encrease
the
often
doing
of
his
Lessons
as
he
will
,
and
make
an
alteration
of
his
Turns
and
Exercises
,
to
find
out
the
truth
of
his
Obedience
:
and
when
they
are
first
artificially
,
and
then
exactly
perform'd
,
then
may
the
Rider
be
truly
said
to
be
a
perfect
Manager
.
Sundry
principal
things
yet
remaining
to
be
known
,
by
such
as
would
be
Expert
or
Compleat
Horsemen
,
relating
to
the
True
Managing
.
Now
are
to
be
shewed
what
are
the
principal
things
that
are
to
be
observ'd
in
the
true
Managing
of
a
Horse
.
He
is
to
be
taught
his
Manage
with
a
soft
Trot
,
and
not
with
a
Gallop
;
my
reason
is
,
because
thereby
he
may
be
at
the
first
sensible
of
Apprehending
what
he
is
to
do
,
and
how
to
do
,
and
that
gracefully
,
by
the
bowing
of
his
Hoofs
behind
,
by
turning
round
with
the
Chambetta
,
which
is
by
holding
up
the
fore
foot
on
the
side
he
should
turn
,
whilst
he
brings
over
the
contrary
Leg
,
and
setteth
it
not
down
until
he
have
closed
his
turn
,
so
as
thereby
he
shall
carry
both
his
fore-feet
above
the
ground
,
not
trayling
upon
the
ground
,
which
is
disgraceful
.
When
the
Rider
teaches
his
Horse
(
which
is
after
he
can
stop
well
)
let
him
advance
before
,
and
turn
readily
on
both
hands
,
then
with
a
soft
Trot
come
to
the
place
of
stop
about
twenty
paces
in
length
,
and
make
him
advance
twice
together
,
and
at
the
second
bound
turn
him
on
the
right
hand
,
(
for
on
that
hand
you
must
always
begin
)
helping
him
so
,
that
by
bowing
his
Hoofs
behind
,
he
move
his
forepart
orderly
,
then
immediately
in
a
gentle
manner
trot
him
back
to
the
place
that
you
came
from
,
and
then
there
,
after
he
hath
made
his
stop
,
at
the
second
bound
of
his
advancing
,
turn
him
on
the
left
hand
,
observing
the
like
order
until
the
Rider
has
gone
ten
or
twelve
times
,
and
at
the
last
cause
him
to
advance
twice
together
.
And
thus
much
for
the
half-rest
,
which
is
to
advance
thrice
,
and
at
the
third
bound
to
turn
;
but
be
sure
he
be
perfect
in
one
Lesson
before
you
teach
him
another
.
In
all
the
Rider's
Managings
,
let
his
body
still
accompany
his
Horse
with
a
good
Grace
;
and
when
that
he
hath
very
perfectly
learned
his
Manage
on
a
soft
Trot
,
then
he
may
manage
him
with
a
Gallop
,
giving
him
on
each
hand
one
single
turn
;
and
a
little
before
he
is
turned
,
let
the
Rider
hold
his
Wand
on
the
contrary
side
,
whereby
he
will
know
on
what
side
to
turn
;
and
at
the
stop
let
the
Rider
make
him
to
advance
,
either
with
his
Voice
,
Rod
,
or
Spur
,
always
being
careful
to
give
him
breath
,
evermore
beginning
with
a
gentle
Gallop
until
he
be
perfect
;
but
I
wish
the
Rider
so
to
use
and
exercise
his
Horse
,
that
he
may
be
long
Master
of
a
good
and
perfect
Horse
,
and
not
to
spend
or
spoil
him
in
a
little
time
,
in
teaching
him
needless
toys
,
as
some
ignorant
Persons
use
to
do
.
After
the
Horse
is
perfect
in
such
Lessons
as
have
been
formerly
taught
,
and
is
grown
to
his
full
and
perfect
strength
,
then
let
the
Rider
begin
him
with
a
short
Coureir
,
in
a
fair
sandy
way
,
and
with
a
lively
Voice
put
him
forward
,
forcing
him
to
run
swiftly
,
roundly
,
and
smoothly
,
with
a
steddy
Head
,
and
lightly
to
stop
himself
on
his
Buttocks
;
then
let
him
turn
him
on
the
left
hand
,
and
softly
pace
him
to
the
other
end
of
the
Coureir-path
,
and
there
stop
him
,
and
turn
him
again
to
the
right
hand
,
and
so
leave
off
and
rest
him
.
And
as
this
passing
Coureir
or
swift
Gallop
must
never
be
done
or
taught
,
until
the
Horse
be
most
perfect
in
all
the
Lessons
;
so
must
it
be
done
very
sparingly
and
seldom
,
as
once
or
twice
in
a
month
at
the
most
.
of
Of
the
Bound
,
Leap
,
and
Yerk
.
Some
have
a
desire
for
to
have
their
Horses
to
Bound
,
Leap
and
Yerk
;
and
tho'
I
know
it
might
be
most
axactly
done
by
the
best-spirited
Horses
,
but
tending
altogether
to
their
destruction
,
and
a
matter
rather
of
foolish
delight
than
of
any
use
,
I
leave
it
to
the
disposition
of
the
Owner
,
wishing
much
rather
to
have
such
dangerous
Exercises
omitted
than
practised
,
unless
that
there
were
more
plenty
of
Horses
that
are
fit
for
the
same
,
or
to
be
spared
to
be
utterly
spoiled
:
Therefore
let
not
my
Reader
admire
that
he
meets
here
with
so
short
Remarks
on
them
.
Of
the
Caperiole
and
Corvette
.
The
difference
betwixt
these
two
,
is
,
that
the
Caperiole
,
or
Goats-leap
is
always
in
going
forwards
,
and
the
Corvette
still
in
one
place
:
These
are
to
be
learned
and
taught
by
one
Order
,
but
neither
of
them
will
ever
be
learned
,
and
therefore
never
exactly
done
,
unless
the
Horse
be
very
perfect
for
to
stop
,
which
must
be
much
bending
of
the
Elbow
of
the
hinder
Hoofs
or
Heels
of
the
Horse
.
Now
the
Corvette
may
,
in
some
sort
,
resemble
the
dancing
of
the
Bear
at
a
Stake
;
for
when
he
danceth
and
pranceth
up
and
down
in
one
place
,
lifting
his
forefeet
even
and
just
together
,
seeming
to
turn
if
he
might
be
suffer'd
;
that
of
the
Bear
is
a
proper
resemblance
of
the
Corvette
,
the
which
is
never
well
done
,
unless
the
Horse
be
just
and
steady
of
Head
and
Body
,
bowing
the
hams
of
his
hinder
Legs
,
as
if
he
would
sit
or
slide
on
his
Buttocks
.
And
the
Caperiole
is
in
the
same
manner
,
but
still
going
forwards
,
seeming
as
though
he
would
yerk
behind
,
by
advancing
his
rump
,
but
doth
not
;
and
as
he
doth
it
forward
,
so
will
he
do
it
backward
and
side-long
.
Now
the
Rider
need
not
to
teach
his
Horse
either
of
these
,
until
,
as
hath
been
said
,
he
be
absolutely
perfect
in
those
Lessons
formerly
mention'd
,
because
these
Lessons
are
only
learned
by
stopping
and
advancing
;
the
which
if
he
have
once
perfectly
and
long
practised
,
the
Trot
him
sundry
days
upon
some
hanging
Ground
,
and
upon
the
knole
of
the
Hill
on
the
same
ground
;
make
him
to
advance
twice
together
,
the
which
he
will
do
,
and
then
help
him
with
the
sound
of
your
Lips
,
to
trot
two
paces
farther
,
and
there
to
stop
and
advance
twice
together
at
the
end
of
the
two
paces
all
the
length
of
a
hanging
Hill
downwards
,
still
remembring
to
cherish
him
when
he
does
well
,
and
to
give
him
breath
,
that
all
his
Performances
may
be
done
with
delight
.
And
if
he
be
helped
with
the
word
,
saying
,
hup
,
and
with
the
Rider's
Rod
,
by
striking
him
upon
the
fore-part
of
his
Shoulders
,
he
will
go
from
stop
to
stop
,
advancing
both
the
fore
Feet
and
hinder
Loyns
,
with
time
and
measure
,
as
often
as
the
Rider
pleases
,
and
in
such
a
just
,
even
and
staid
a
manner
as
will
be
very
pleasant
to
the
Beholders
.
Now
,
because
I
would
not
have
the
young
Rider
to
begin
any
Lesson
,
but
by
the
direction
of
a
perfect
Master
,
and
in
that
course
to
continue
,
so
must
the
young
Rider
endeavour
with
himself
to
know
the
reason
of
all
his
Practices
;
and
therefore
he
must
be
sure
to
be
present
at
the
Exercises
of
tho
most
skilful
Horsemen
,
and
,
as
Solomon
saith
,
Let
his
Foot
tread
often
upon
their
Threshold
;
let
him
be
acquainted
with
the
best
Practitioners
,
and
when
he
is
able
rightly
to
judge
,
and
to
make
a
true
difference
between
good
and
bad
,
then
let
him
practise
as
often
as
he
can
,
and
never
doubt
to
become
a
Perfect
Horseman
,
so
as
to
be
able
to
teach
whatsoever
is
fit
for
a
Horse
to
do
,
and
a
Young
Gentleman
to
know
.
Short
Infallible
RVLES
to
be
Observ'd
and
Practis'd
by
every
Horseman
.
I.
DO
not
gallop
your
Horse
before
he
can
stop
well
.
II.
Do
not
run
him
before
he
can
stop
in
his
Gallop
.
III.
Do
not
swiftly
gallop
him
before
he
can
stop
.
IV.
Do
not
make
him
a
Runner
before
he
be
six
or
seven
years
old
.
V.
In
all
his
doings
,
form
the
beginning
to
the
end
,
keep
his
Reins
true
,
and
his
Head
steady
;
for
this
Rule
is
the
Foundation
of
all
other
Rules
.
VI.
In
the
morning
early
,
when
he
is
empty
,
before
he
eat
any
thing
,
teach
and
exercise
him
untill
he
be
perfect
;
and
after
,
twice
or
thrice
in
a
week
is
sufficient
.
VII
.
In
all
his
teaching
and
exercise
,
do
it
moderately
and
temperately
,
and
leave
him
,
always
after
the
well-doing
of
his
Lessons
,
both
in
breath
,
and
with
a
good
Mouth
.
VIII
.
After
he
is
perfect
in
his
Lessons
,
let
the
Rider
exercise
him
not
always
in
one
place
;
neither
let
him
confine
himself
to
a
just
and
certain
Instant
of
Time
,
viz.
neither
more
nor
less
,
neither
longer
nor
shorter
.
IX
.
In
managing
of
his
Horse
,
set
him
not
gallop
him
swiftly
at
the
first
,
but
with
a
soft
pace
,
and
seldom
with
a
gallop
.
X.
In
correcting
of
his
Horse
for
an
Error
,
let
him
correct
him
even
in
that
instant
he
commits
it
.
Other
Ways
and
Methods
for
the
Management
of
a
Horse
for
War
,
Travel
,
Hunting
,
Racing
,
&c.
Though
these
I
have
mention'd
are
by
all
expert
Horsemen
accounted
the
best
for
training
up
Horses
to
their
exact
Paces
and
Management
,
because
herein
native
Freedom
without
Shackles
is
the
most
agreeable
;
yet
since
some
use
another
method
,
I
shall
give
a
brief
account
of
it
,
and
leave
them
both
indifferently
to
the
choice
of
those
that
are
to
practise
herein
,
viz.
When
you
are
to
teach
your
Horse
the
true
Amble
,
which
is
the
Ground
of
all
others
,
●ead
him
a
wracking
pace
in
your
Hand
,
and
observe
the
Motion
he
is
most
inclinable
to
,
whether
Trot
,
running
,
bastard-Amble
,
or
others
;
so
mount
and
wrack
him
deliberately
,
by
the
help
of
his
Mouth-weeks
,
with
his
Snaffle
smooth
and
large
;
and
when
you
have
brought
him
to
some
Management
,
to
endure
the
Tramel
without
stumbling
or
flying
out
,
form
it
in
this
manner
:
Take
strong
Packthread
,
and
twist
it
into
a
Cord
about
the
thickness
of
a
Jack-line
,
so
firm
,
that
it
will
not
give
the
least
way
;
let
your
Hose
or
Parts
fastned
about
the
Legs
be
close
,
soft
and
immovable
,
the
Backbands
light
and
somewhat
broad
,
that
they
may
not
injure
the
Horse's
Fillets
;
the
length
of
the
side-ropes
thirty
six
inches
,
but
if
the
Horse
be
of
a
long
reach
,
you
may
add
an
inch
;
more
:
Place
the
Hose
on
the
small
of
the
fore-leg
,
and
upon
the
hinder
just
above
the
Fetlock
,
made
of
fine
Girthweb
made
of
Cotton
,
Flannel
,
or
some
such-like
soft
matter
,
fasten'd
with
Neats-Leather
Tabs
of
even
lengths
,
●uppl'd
with
Tallow
,
and
divers
holes
punch'd
in
them
●t
an
even
distance
,
to
pass
through
the
Nooses
that
are
to
●e
on
the
side-ropes
,
so
that
by
buckling
the
Ropes
,
may
●e
drawn
up
or
let
out
at
pleasure
,
the
Tabs
not
exceed●ng
ten
inches
,
nor
the
holes
in
them
four
;
then
let
the
Backband
that
are
to
hold
up
the
Side-cords
,
if
you
tramel
●ll
your
Horse's
Legs
,
be
made
of
Girthweb
lined
with
●lannel
;
but
if
only
two
Legs
,
Filleting
or
strong
Tape
;
●ut
observe
it
keep
the
side-cords
even
in
a
line
,
without
●ither
twitching
up
or
suffering
it
to
fall
,
for
rising
shortens
●he
side-cord
,
and
falling
makes
it
apt
to
entangle
the
Horse
.
The
Vse
of
the
Tramel
.
The
Tramel
well
made
,
proceed
to
use
it
in
this
man●er
,
viz.
Bring
your
Horse
into
a
place
,
that
is
even
free
from
Clumpers
or
Stones
,
and
put
on
the
Tramel
,
your
Horse
●tanding
a●
even
as
may
be
,
not
straining
forward
nor
crimp●ing
inward
,
but
in
a
just
and
even
proportion
;
then
laying
●our
hand
on
the
Bridle
,
by
gently
straining
his
Head
,
●blige
him
to
move
forward
,
compel
him
to
Amble
about
●he
Ground
chosen
very
leisurely
,
using
him
with
much
●entleness
,
and
often
cherishing
him
with
your
Voice
,
till
●e
●eel
the
Tramel
,
and
begin
to
be
acquainted
with
what
●e
is
to
perform
:
And
by
this
means
,
though
at
first
he
●ip
or
stumble
,
he
will
be
brought
to
it
more
at
leisure
,
●nd
become
familiar
with
it
,
if
your
harshness
hinder
it
●ot
:
Though
it
is
not
amiss
,
if
at
first
,
when
he
begins
to
●arn
,
you
permit
the
side-ropes
to
be
longer
than
the
measure
mention'd
,
to
prevent
his
twitchings
;
but
when
he
begins
to
be
perfect
,
have
them
ever
of
a
constant
length
,
lest
the
over-length
render
him
a
slow
Ambler
,
and
the
over-length
cause
him
to
halt
or
shuffle
.
Times
proper
to
alter
the
Tramel
,
and
convenient
to
Mount
,
&c.
When
the
Horse
can
Amble
pretty
well
by
hand
,
change
the
half-Tramel
,
by
removing
it
from
one
side
,
and
placing
it
on
the
other
;
and
so
,
as
you
see
occasion
,
put
on
the
whole
Tramel
,
till
he
run
pretty
swift
,
without
the
motions
of
snapping
or
stumbling
;
then
try
him
upon
uncertain
and
uneven
ways
,
up
and
down
hill
,
and
in
such
Roads
as
you
think
you
shall
after
have
occasion
to
ride
him
:
Then
having
inur'd
him
to
it
,
mount
on
his
Back
,
or
set
another
to
do
it
,
whilst
you
stay
his
Head
,
and
keep
him
from
any
inconveniency
,
and
observe
well
how
he
treads
:
After
that
your self
may
mount
,
cherish
him
often
,
and
so
oblige
him
to
mend
his
pace
,
till
he
move
with
as
much
agility
as
you
can
desire
;
and
forget
not
between
whiles
to
put
on
sometimes
the
half-Tramel
,
and
at
other
times
the
whole
,
shifting
often
from
one
side
to
the
other
,
lest
he
forget
his
pace
;
and
in
so
doing
twice
or
thrice
a
day
,
he
will
in
a
month
or
six
weeks
be
brought
to
good
order
,
and
then
without
a
Tramel
ride
him
on
the
Road
,
without
chusing
the
Way
:
Have
with
you
also
a
half-Tramel
,
so
that
if
he
faulter
,
alight
,
and
put
it
on
;
which
will
quickly
mind
him
of
what
you
intend
he
should
do
.
How
to
Stop
in
a
full
Career
,
Advance
,
&c.
To
make
Horses
stop
in
any
Pace
,
draw
suddenly
your
Bridle
hand
,
streight
and
steady
,
Hard
and
Sharp
,
and
by
that
means
,
he
will
stop
Firm
and
Close
,
also
Even
:
But
if
after
you
have
drawn
in
your
Hand
he
turn
Side
ways
,
or
more
Forward
,
put
him
to
it
again
,
and
when
he
stops
well
,
attempt
to
make
him
Advance
upon
your
stop
;
that
is
,
rise
with
his
fore-Legs
,
which
is
done
by
a
sudden
clapping
the
Calves
of
the
Legs
close
to
his
Sides
,
forbearing
to
touch
him
with
your
Spur
,
but
shake
your
Whip
or
Switch
over
him
,
which
will
add
much
Grace
to
his
stopping
;
and
try
him
till
he
well
understands
,
an●
will
perform
it
.
How
to
oblige
Horses
to
Retire
,
and
endure
the
various
sorts
of
Bits
.
To
make
him
do
this
,
draw
him
back
with
a
steady
Rein
,
that
with
his
Legs
lifted
up
as
in
a
Trot
he
may
retire
,
he
may
suddenly
retreat
three
or
four
Pace●
;
which
in
case
you
design
a
Horse
for
War
,
i●
a
very
commendable
thing
,
and
indeed
in
any
other
,
on
several
Occasions
;
observe
herein
to
make
him
do
it
in
a
direct
Line
,
not
turning
to
one
side
or
the
other
,
nor
suffer
him
●o
Shuffle
in
his
retiring
,
but
to
take
his
Legs
up
even
and
clever
from
the
Ground
.
Having
brought
him
to
this
,
if
you
design
him
so
War
,
take
away
his
Trench
and
Martingal
;
leave
only
the
Cavezan
of
three
or
four
Pieces
or
Joynts
to
be
used
,
viz.
A
Joynt
in
the
middle
,
and
a
strong
Ring
fastned
to
it
,
and
on
each
side
a
Joynt
with
Rings
before
them
,
and
fasten
to
them
divers
Reins
,
in
drawing
of
which
you
may
use
your
Horse
at
command
:
Or
,
if
this
be
too
hard
,
put
into
his
Mouth
a
common
Bit
,
made
up
with
a
French
Check
,
fitted
to
the
proportion
of
the
Horse's
Neck
,
for
if
it
be
otherwise
,
there
can
be
no
true
Management
,
for
the
long
Check
lifts
up
the
Horse's
Head
,
and
the
short
one
pulls
it
down
.
Turnings
,
and
strait
Turns
,
&c.
The
Turnings
are
when
the
Face
of
the
Horse
in
the
motion
is
kept
to
the
Centre
or
Post
,
or
tho'
he
wheel
with
his
Buttocks
swiftly
,
yet
keeping
his
Face
properly
to
the
Enemy
.
The
strait
Turns
are
when
he
keeps
his
Buttocks
inward
,
or
close
to
the
Center
or
Post
,
and
bearing
about
,
makes
the
Circumference
with
his
fore-part
advancing
a
little
toward
the
Enemy
,
that
would
avoid
him
.
To
do
the
first
,
called
the
strait
Turn
,
fasten
a
Rein
to
a
ring
in
the
middle
of
your
Cavezan
,
about
three
Yards
in
length
,
and
to
the
other
two
Rings
two
Reins
somewhat
shorter
;
so
Bridled
and
Sadled
bring
him
to
the
Post
;
put
the
Reins
over
the
Saddle-bolster
,
and
fasten
them
at
such
straightness
to
the
Pummel
that
he
may
feel
them
,
and
if
you
be
then
desirous
to
turn
to
the
Right
,
take
the
short
Reign
on
the
left
hand
of
the
Cavzan
,
and
bring
it
under
the
Saddle
fore
Bolster
up
to
the
Pummel
,
and
fix
it
at
such
a
straitness
that
may
rather
sway
his
Head
from
,
than
to
,
the
Post
,
his
Eyes
looking
to
the
Right
;
then
let
a
Stander-by
hold
the
Rein
on
the
right
side
of
the
Cavezan
at
the
Post
,
moving
it
so
,
that
the
fore-part
of
your
Horse's
Body
may
at
full
turn
about
;
then
take
the
long
Rein
in
your
own
Hand
,
causing
the
Horse
to
bear
his
hinder
parts
inwards
,
which
may
be
done
by
gentle
striking
him
on
the
outward
Shoulder
and
Buttock
,
as
occasion
is
found
,
causing
him
to
turn
about
the
Post
,
his
hinder
part
being
the
Centre
,
the
fore-part
in
motion
,
making
the
Circumference
.
Thus
use
him
on
the
one
hand
till
indifferent
perfect
,
then
change
the
Rein
to
the
other
on
the
outward
ring
of
the
Cavezan
and
so
in
the
like
manner
teach
it
him
on
the
other
hand
;
and
by
so
doing
Morning
and
Evening
,
you
may
soon
bring
him
to
it
with
a
touch
of
your
Switch
;
observe
as
he
swiftly
Trots
round
,
that
he
place
his
outward
fore-Leg
over
the
inward
,
and
so
by
degrees
,
in
his
Wheeling
,
oblige
him
to
mend
his
pace
swiftly
and
distinctly
,
and
in
as
direct
a
Compass
as
can
easily
or
conveniently
be
performed
,
till
at
last
he
flie
with
such
celerity
,
that
his
fore
and
hinder
Legs
move
equal
.
This
Lesson
perfectly
learned
,
Mount
,
and
let
one
hold
the
long
Rein
,
and
another
the
short
one
,
and
then
with
the
motion
of
your
Hand
upon
the
left
Rein
of
the
Cavezan
and
Bit
,
bearing
him
Head
from
the
Post
,
and
by
the
motion
of
the
Calves
of
your
Legs
and
Switch
upon
his
outward
Thigh
,
cause
him
to
bear
his
hinder
parts
to
the
Post
,
and
Exercise
him
till
he
perform
it
as
well
with
you
on
his
Back
as
he
did
before
;
then
take
away
the
Cavezan
,
and
Exercise
only
with
the
short
Rein
:
And
so
having
brought
him
to
do
it
at
the
Post
,
he
will
be
induced
to
do
it
in
the
open
Field
without
one
.
The
strait
Turn
in
keeping
his
Face
to
the
Post
as
the
Centre
,
and
swiftly
flying
about
with
his
hinder
parts
,
the
Reins
both
long
and
short
,
must
be
used
as
before
,
only
you
must
not
give
the
short
Rein
any
scope
,
but
darw
it
nearer
to
the
Post
;
still
as
he
moves
about
,
follow
his
hinder
parts
with
the
long
Rein
,
and
observe
in
his
motion
whether
he
bear
his
hinder
Legs
one
over
the
other
,
a●
is
expressed
by
the
four
Legs
.
By
the
help
of
your
Rod
making
him
bring
his
hinder
part
swiftly
round
the
Post
,
and
when
he
is
perfect
,
Mount
him
,
and
cause
him
to
move
swift
or
slow
,
sometimes
at
the
Post
,
and
then
in
open
Ground
,
as
you
see
convenient
:
These
will
accomplish
him
for
the
Wars
,
Racing
,
Hunting
,
and
other
Matters
.
Particular
Observations
on
Ambling
,
Racking
and
Galioping
.
Observe
as
to
the
fitness
of
pace
,
the
Horse's
motion
of
his
Legs
when
he
takes
them
from
the
Ground
,
and
you
will
perceive
in
his
cross
moving
what
he
is
properly
designed
for
.
Viz.
If
his
hinder
and
fore
Leg
move
together
then
at
one
and
the
same
instant
,
and
in
this
motion
the
nearer
he
takes
up
his
Limbs
from
Ground
,
the
opener
,
evener
and
shorter
is
his
Tread
;
but
if
he
do
it
uneasie
,
slovenly
,
and
in
a
shuffling
manner
,
that
denotes
Stumbling
,
Lameness
,
or
some
such
Imperfection
.
If
he
tread
Cross
or
Narrow
,
it
signifies
he
is
subject
to
Interfering
and
will
hardly
be
enduced
ever
to
Tread
sure
.
If
he
takes
his
steps
Askew
and
Uneven
,
it
denotes
him
subject
to
Faint
and
Tire
,
unable
to
perform
long
Journeys
or
hard
Service
.
If
he
treads
Long
,
it
signifies
him
subject
to
Strains
and
Over-reaches
:
And
therefore
a
moderate
even
pace
,
and
the
clever
carrying
of
a
Horse's
Legs
is
to
be
chosen
,
that
your
labour
in
Teaching
may
mot
be
thrown
away
.
But
to
Particulars
.
As
for
Ambling
.
If
you
chuse
your
Horse
for
Pleasure
and
Ease
,
then
none
is
more
suitable
than
this
,
it
being
opposite
to
Trotting
;
as
thus
,
both
the
Feet
on
one
side
must
have
equal
motion
,
viz.
The
far
fore
Leg
and
the
far
hinder
Leg
which
must
move
just
Even
,
Smooth
and
Swift
,
for
if
the
Horse
tread
false
or
a
wry
,
it
takes
away
much
of
the
easiness
of
his
Pace
;
and
if
Short
,
then
no
more
Ground
is
ridded
than
if
he
went
a
round
Foot-pace
:
If
he
treads
Rough
,
it
denotes
Rouling
in
a
shuffling
manner
,
and
is
a
false
Pace
,
which
had
been
taught
him
by
an
Unskilful
Hand
,
and
he
will
be
apt
to
fall
out
of
it
into
a
Trot
,
or
in
a
short
time
forget
it
.
As
for
Racking
.
This
is
a
Pace
most
used
in
Hunting
or
riding
Post
,
being
between
a
Pace
and
full
Gallop
,
by
some
termed
a
full
Speed
,
yet
little
differs
from
Ambling
,
except
in
being
more
Swift
and
of
a
shorter
Tread
,
tho'
in
Ambling
the
Ground
is
better
ridded
,
yet
this
pace
is
more
easie
,
and
highly
approved
by
many
expert
Horse-men
,
who
use
particularly
to
teach
it
,
tho'
I
find
no
certain
Rule
to
it
,
but
conclude
it
a
Motion
natural
to
most
Horses
that
are
brought
to
the
Amble
.
As
for
the
Gallop
,
It
is
most
appropriated
to
the
Trotting
Horse
,
for
falling
out
of
his
Trot
,
he
has
no
other
pace
but
the
Gallop
,
as
likewise
a
Horse
well
used
to
Racking
,
will
naturally
take
this
Motion
;
but
the
Pace
is
very
aukward
to
be
brought
to
it
,
although
in
a
while
,
with
good
Usage
and
Gentleness
,
he
may
be
brought
to
it
;
and
the
reason
why
this
is
at
first
irksome
to
him
,
is
,
because
having
been
trained
to
a
set
Pace
,
when
he
is
forced
to
a
Motion
somewhat
of
the
like
nature
,
(
tho'
much
swifter
)
by
straining
to
swiften
his
pace
,
he
scambles
with
his
Legs
;
but
in
a
Month's
time
understanding
the
alteration
,
he
will
be
apt
enough
to
take
it
with
little
trouble
;
however
,
beware
that
you
Gallop
him
not
too
often
,
nor
to
Excess
,
lest
it
spoil
his
pace
,
rendring
it
hard
,
coming
something
near
the
Trot
,
by
reason
of
Straining
.
Observe
in
the
cleverness
of
Galloping
,
that
your
Horse
raises
his
Feet
nimbly
from
the
Ground
,
but
not
too
high
,
that
neither
he
rouleth
or
beateth
himself
,
but
stretching
forth
his
fore-Legs
,
his
hinder
Legs
keep
Time
cleverly
and
swiftly
,
that
he
cuts
not
his
Knee
,
nor
crosses
or
strikes
one
Foot
against
another
,
but
still
leadeth
with
his
far-Foot
.
If
he
Gallop
short
and
round
,
his
fore
Feet
well
rising
,
denotes
him
Strong
,
but
not
Swift
,
and
so
consequently
fitter
for
War
than
Racing
If
you
perceive
he
takes
up
his
Legs
consusedly
as
if
he
did
it
in
pain
,
he
will
never
make
a
good
Galloper
,
for
it
denotes
the
Sinnews
to
be
shrank
,
that
with
little
Travel
,
he
'll
often
be
subject
to
Halting
and
Lameness
.
As
for
the
Trot
,
it
i●
natural
to
all
Horse's
;
but
the
loftly
prancing
Trot
is
for
War
accounted
the
best
,
and
that
for
Travel
that
rids
most
Ground
with
least
pain
to
the
Horse
,
he
taking
up
his
Feet
cleverly
and
even
from
the
Ground
without
Interfering
.

Running
Horse
,
or
Racer

how
to
Manage
,

,
Physick
,
bring
to
the
Post-start
,
&c.
Having
spoken
pretty
largely
as
to
what
hitherto
relate●
to
this
noble
Creature
in
many
Particulars
,
I
shall
now
,
for
the
Accomodation
of
Gentlemen
and
others
,
who
have
much
desired
it
,
give
Directions
Plain
,
Easie
,
and
with
as
little
Charge
as
possible
,
how
to
Order
and
Manage
a
Horse
for
bringing
him
to
run
a
Race
,
or
more
properly
,
to
be
Matched
:
I
know
that
there
were
some
who
aver
,
It
is
impossible
it
should
be
done
under
six
Months
;
others
allow
five
,
and
none
of
past
times
under
.
This
I
look
upon
as
a
design
not
so
much
to
rob
a
Gentleman
of
half
a
Year's
Pleasure
,
as
to
put
him
to
treable
Charges
,
to
the
advantage
of
such
who
undertake
to
look
to
,
and
order
Running-Horse's
;
and
therefore
I
thought
fit
to
Undeceive
such
as
have
been
Imposed
on
,
by
plainly
laying
down
a
nearer
,
less
Chargeable
,
and
more
easie
Method
,
altogether
as
safe
and
Effectual
.
Viz.
If
you
design
to
Match
your
Horse
,
consider
well
the
State
of
his
Body
,
and
do
it
not
inconsiderately
;
and
this
may
be
observed
in
three
Particulars
.
(
1.
)
If
he
be
Foul
or
Fat
,
or
newly
taken
from
Grass
or
Soil
.
(
2.
)
Note
;
If
he
be
very
Poor
or
lean
by
over-Traveli●g
,
Infirmity
or
hidden
Cause
,
you
cannot
at
present
discover
.
(
3.
)
Take
notice
,
if
he
has
had
good
Usage
,
moderate
Exercise
,
and
be
in
good
Estate
and
Plight
;
And
from
these
observe
in
the
first
Case
,
to
take
a
longer
time
for
Keeping
,
Matching
,
and
bringing
him
into
good
Order
,
fit
for
Running
,
which
indeed
if
long
,
is
the
most
violent
of
Exercise
;
in
this
case
get
two
Months
,
or
if
you
can
something
more
.
In
the
second
Estate
of
the
Horse's
Body
,
you
need
not
take
so
long
a
time
,
especially
in
case
only
of
Leanness
,
because
the
Grease
cannot
injure
him
,
and
you
may
exercise
him
with
his
Feeding
,
that
is
,
at
all
seasonable
times
.
In
the
third
Estate
,
which
I
consider
as
a
Mean
between
the
other
Extreams
,
he
may
be
Dieted
for
the
Match
in
a
Month
or
six
Weeks
.
But
to
come
nearer
to
my
purpose
,
I
allow
two
Months
to
be
a
sufficient
time
to
prepare
a
Horse
under
any
of
these
Estates
of
Body
to
run
a
Match
;
and
these
for
the
better
leading
to
the
end
of
what
I
purpose
,
may
properly
be
divided
into
shorter
Periods
of
time
,
viz.
The
first
Fortnights
Ordering
the
Running-Horse
,
&c.
If
the
Horse
be
Fat
or
Foul
,
newly
taken
from
Grass
or
Soil
,
and
you
have
,
or
intend
to
Match
him
,
bring
him
to
a
clean
dry
Stable
Litter
him
well
,
and
over
Night
give
him
two
Quarts
of
splent
Beans
and
as
many
dry
Oats
,
Rub
him
down
and
Litter
him
well
with
dry
clean
Wheat-straw
,
and
early
in
the
Morning
rouse
him
,
if
laid
;
dip
his
Bit
in
Beer
and
put
on
his
Bridle
,
dress
him
and
cleanse
him
in
all
Parts
;
if
the
Weather
be
cold
,
have
a
large
strong
Body-cloath
of
Kersey
,
but
in
warm
Weather
Cotton
,
or
such
light
Matters
will
do
,
(
for
in
Heats
you
must
be
very
careful
he
take
no
Cold
or
Surfeit
)
fold
this
well
about
his
Body
plaee
on
his
Saddle
,
bring
close
the
fore-most
Girt
,
but
the
other
leave
so
loose
as
to
thrust
a
Whisp
between
it
and
the
Horse's
Body
;
let
your
Breast-cloath
cover
his
Shoulders
,
and
washing
his
Mouth
with
●eer
●eave
him
for
an
Hour
,
then
lead
him
forth
and
Rack
him
gently
in
even
Ground
a
Mile
or
more
,
then
Gallop
moderately
up
some
Hill
,
so
Rack
or
Walk
him
down
again
,
then
Cool
him
a
little
,
and
ride
him
to
some
pleasant
River
or
Spring
,
and
let
him
Drink
,
which
if
he
refuses
,
Exercise
him
again
till
he
will
do
it
;
When
he
has
drank
,
Rack
him
Home
and
put
him
cool
into
the
Stable
fresh
Littered
,
having
first
,
if
possible
,
made
him
on
the
foul
out-cast
Litter
void
his
Urine
and
Dung
.
Being
in
the
Stable
,
tye
him
to
the
Rack
,
and
with
hard
Whisps
let
his
Legs
be
rubbed
down
,
and
all
his
Parts
the
like
,
taking
off
his
Saddle
,
and
cloathing
him
warmer
or
lighter
,
as
the
Season
requires
,
so
Whisp
him
round
,
cleanse
his
Feet
,
and
throw
into
the
Rack
a
knop
of
Hay
well
dusted
▪
to
tear
whilst
he
stands
on
his
Bridle
,
which
may
be
half
an
Hour
;
then
give
him
a
Quart
of
the
whitest
and
heaviest
Oats
,
and
if
he
seem
desirous
of
more
,
you
may
give
him
another
like
quantity
,
then
leave
him
to
his
Rest
till
eleven
a
Clock
;
then
Visit
again
,
and
rub
him
over
gently
,
give
him
three
Pints
of
the
like
Oats
,
and
close
the
Stable
as
dark
as
may
be
;
at
two
Hours
end
Visit
him
again
with
the
like
quantity
of
Oats
as
before
,
Rub
him
gently
and
remove
the
Excrements
;
give
him
a
Bottle
of
Hay
,
and
leave
him
for
3
Hours
more
,
if
in
Summer
,
but
if
in
Winter
,
only
two
and
an
half
;
then
wash
his
Mouth
and
the
Muzzle
of
his
Bridle
with
Beer
;
Saddle
him
and
bring
him
forth
,
having
well
rub'd
him
down
,
then
endeavour
to
make
him
empty
on
the
old
Litter
;
Ride
him
forth
and
give
him
gentle
Breathings
by
some
pleasant
River
or
Meadow
,
that
he
may
take
delight
in
it
,
but
upon
a
full
Stomach
Gallop
him
not
up
a
Hill
,
left
it
endanger
his
Wind
;
heat
him
both
before
and
after
Water
,
and
in
the
approach
of
Dark
,
bring
him
home
;
so
by
early
and
late
Airings
the
foulness
will
be
deminished
,
and
the
gross
Humours
dispersed
:
Use
him
in
Stabling
as
before
,
and
visit
him
three
Hours
after
with
a
like
quantity
of
Oats
;
toss
up
his
Litter
and
let
him
rest
till
Morning
.
Things
proper
to
be
observed
in
Heats
,
&c.
Two
Heats
in
a
Week
,
if
they
be
thorow
ones
,
are
sufficient
for
any
State
of
Body
.
If
the
Match
be
made
for
Running
on
a
Tuesday
,
then
let
the
Heating
days
be
Tuesday
and
Saturday
in
each
Week
,
and
the
Greatest
on
the
●u●sday
:
but
in
rainy
slabby
Weather
,
you
may
shift
these
days
,
and
chuse
those
that
are
fair
;
or
the
hours
in
those
days
may
be
changed
where
necessity
requires
it
:
If
the
Weather
be
dull
,
heavy
,
dripping
or
cold
,
it
will
be
convenient
when
abroad
,
to
have
a
Hood
with
large
Ears
on
our
Horse
,
to
keep
out
the
Rain
or
Damp
,
the
Nape
of
it
●hickned
with
a
Lineing
,
that
the
Wet
may
not
easily
pen●tra●e
,
lest
the
wet
falling
on
his
Ears
Neck
,
or
Fillets
,
sub●●ct
him
to
Diseases
,
and
hinder
his
Performance
;
carry
him
never
to
Heats
before
day
,
nor
keep
him
out
after
it
is
dark
.
Rules
for
the
second
Fortnight's
Keeping
.
Use
him
in
Littering
,
and
Dressing
as
before
,
only
what
Hay
●e
has
let
him
take
i●
out
of
your
Hand
to
be
the
more
Familiar
;
when
he
has
eaten
his
portion
of
Oats
,
Bridle
him
,
Ride
out
,
Air
and
Water
him
,
as
in
the
foregoing
●ortnight
;
and
when
you
return
,
you
may
give
him
near
three
pints
of
Oats
;
let
him
take
Hay
out
of
your
Hand
,
Litter
him
well
,
and
so
leave
him
and
order
him
as
before
:
Then
observe
to
make
him
a
Diet-Bread
in
the
following
manner
.
Grind
three
Pecks
of
Beans
with
one
of
Wheat
,
dress
them
through
an
indifferent
fine
Rag
to
a
fine
Flower
,
then
put
Ale
.
Yest
and
fair
Water
to
make
the
Dough
;
Kneed
it
exceeding
firm
,
then
let
it
lye
till
it
rise
and
bec●me
Light
,
then
Kneed
it
again
and
make
it
into
six
penny
Loaves
,
let
them
soak
well
in
an
Oven
,
and
being
hot
,
turn
the
Bottoms
uppermost
and
let
them
cool
,
and
three
days
after
Baking
use
them
in
the
following
order
.
Cut
the
Bread
into
thin
slivers
,
and
lay
it
a
while
to
dry
,
●●umble
it
small
among
the
Oats
,
and
give
it
the
Horse
,
not
exceeding
a
pound
to
half
a
peck
of
Oats
;
This
do
first
in
the
Morning
,
and
about
Eleven
repeat
it
again
,
then
let
him
rest
two
Hours
,
and
feed
him
then
the
like
again
,
and
so
at
distant
spaces
,
as
his
Appetite
best
serves
him
,
keeping
every
thing
clean
about
him
;
Let
his
Heats
Airings
and
Waterings
be
the
same
,
unless
in
foul
Weather
,
as
I
have
said
;
but
when
he
is
led
to
his
Heats
,
give
him
Oats
only
,
and
when
he
is
returned
and
Fed
,
put
on
his
Muzzle
washed
in
Beer
.
This
use
of
the
Muzzle
is
to
prevent
the
Horse
from
feeding
on
his
Litter
,
biting
or
gnawing
the
Rack-staves
or
Mainger
,
licking
Loam
,
and
many
other
Inconveniencies
:
They
may
be
made
of
Leather
,
Pack-thread
,
or
double
Canvas
,
tho'
the
latter
with
Lattice
is
preferable
,
the
Leather
being
the
worse
,
by
reason
of
its
Scent
,
yet
these
must
be
kept
clean
,
lest
offensive
smells
nauceate
and
sicken
the
Horse's
Stomach
.
For
the
rest
of
this
Fortnight
,
observe
he
be
duly
Cloathed
,
and
Dieted
as
is
requisite
according
to
the
Season
;
then
put
a
new-laid
Egg
whole
into
half
a
pint
of
new
Ale
,
and
oblige
him
to
swallow
it
,
so
lead
him
forth
,
and
cause
him
to
Empty
,
by
smelling
to
the
Litter
or
old
Dung
,
which
will
oblige
him
to
it
;
then
Rack
him
gently
for
a
Mile
or
two
,
so
by
degrees
mend
his
pace
till
he
come
to
a
full
Speed
,
and
bring
him
to
the
Starting-post
,
if
any
such
be
appointed
,
or
if
none
,
than
to
some
other
Postnear
the
place
where
the
Race
is
to
be
performed
,
then
alight
,
take
off
the
Body
and
Breast
cloath
,
place
on
the
Saddie
,
Mount
him
,
let
him
smell
to
,
and
grow
Familiar
with
the
Post
,
as
likewise
to
the
wagling-post
,
and
so
run
him
three
quarters
Speed
,
from
the
beginning
of
the
designed
Race
,
to
the
end
,
if
you
find
he
will
endure
it
without
pain
or
loss
of
Wind
;
but
if
it
be
Irksom
to
him
,
then
slacken
your
pace
,
and
by
degrees
he
will
come
to
it
with
Delight
;
and
particularly
remark
on
what
Ground
he
most
naturally
affects
to
run
,
whether
So●t
,
Hard
,
Smooth
,
Hilly
,
Dauk
or
Dry
,
and
make
it
to
your
advantage
in
the
Race
.
This
done
,
bring
him
under
some
Hay
or
Corn
Rick
,
Hedge
,
Pit
,
or
dry
Ditch
,
and
there
scrape
off
the
Sweat
with
your
Glazing-knife
,
and
rub
his
Ears
,
Head
and
Crest
,
clap
on
his
Cloaths
and
the
Saddle
on
them
,
and
ride
him
gently
so
that
he
may
cool
before
you
bring
him
to
the
Stable
,
but
keep
such
a
pace
that
he
may
not
cool
too
fast
,
or
all
on
a
sudden
:
Having
Stabled
him
,
tye
his
Head
to
the
Rack
,
and
having
the
following
Scowring
in
readiness
,
give
it
him
as
shall
be
directed
.
First
Scowring
.
Take
an
Ounce
and
fix
Grains
of
the
transparentest
Roach-Allom
,
a
pint
of
Malaga
,
in
which
dissolve
the
Allom
;
to
these
put
three
ounces
of
Olive
Oil
very
sweet
,
mix
them
well
together
with
an
ounce
and
an
half
of
brown
Sugar-candy
in
Powder
,
these
set
on
a
gentle
Fire
till
pretty
hot
,
and
upon
the
Horse's
return
from
the
first
thorough
Heat
,
give
it
him
in
a
Drenching-horn
,
and
it
will
infallibly
bring
away
the
Molton
Grease
and
bad
Humours
,
or
other
Obstructions
that
remain
in
the
Body
,
and
wou'd
make
him
unfit
for
this
Exercise
.
Directions
to
Order
him
after
the
taking
this
.
When
you
have
given
the
Horse
this
Scowring
,
rub
him
well
all
over
with
Whisps
and
a
Curry-comb
;
follow
these
with
a
Brush
,
and
dust
him
well
,
then
rub
him
with
a
dry
Cloath
till
no
Sweat
appears
;
put
his
Cloath
on
again
,
and
truss
under
the
Cloath
warm
Wisps
,
let
him
fast
for
the
space
of
two
Hours
,
and
keep
him
in
continual
motion
that
he
sleep
not
,
that
the
Humours
may
disperse
and
evacuate
,
then
give
him
a
handful
of
Wheat-ears
:
If
upon
handling
him
under
the
Ears
and
near
the
Heart
,
you
perceive
no
more
Sweat
arises
,
but
if
he
be
faint
or
sickish
,
after
the
expiration
of
the
time
,
toss
up
his
Litter
,
t●ke
off
his
Bridle
,
and
let
him
rest
for
the
space
of
two
Hours
,
and
he
will
be
well
again
,
then
give
him
Wheat-ears
gradually
,
and
rub
him
down
;
after
that
,
let
him
feed
on
Hay
out
of
your
Hand
,
and
an
hour
after
crum
three
shivers
of
the
Bread
mentioned
,
with
a
quart
of
Oats
and
a
pint
of
split
Beans
;
let
him
rest
after
this
three
Hours
;
that
expired
,
Visit
him
again
,
and
before
you
Dress
him
,
give
him
a
like
quantity
of
Oats
,
Beans
and
Bread
,
then
Ride
him
,
his
Cloathing
being
on
,
a
little
way
,
but
suffer
him
not
to
Water
till
about
an
hour
and
an
half
after
;
then
wash
a
pint
of
Oats
in
Beer
and
give
them
to
Cool
him
,
and
in
so
ordering
leave
him
till
Morning
with
a
little
Hay
,
and
continue
after
,
his
usual
Feedings
and
gentle
Breathings
.
Thus
having
ordered
him
,
observe
the
other
three
Heating
days
,
to
improve
his
Speed
,
and
give
him
the
aforesaid
Scowring
,
and
he
will
be
very
Pleasant
and
Lightsom
.
The
third
Fortnight
,
how
to
Order
him
.
Having
thus
far
proceeded
,
mingle
half
a
Bushel
of
the
best
Wheat
,
and
a
like
quantity
of
Beans
,
grind
them
very
small
,
so
that
the
Flower
be
finer
than
the
former
,
and
make
it
up
into
Loaves
the
same
way
,
and
it
being
Baked
,
after
three
days
cut
the
Crust
away
,
slice
it
out
and
crumble
it
as
before
with
Oats
and
Beans
the
same
quantity
,
and
let
the
feeding
be
as
in
the
foregoing
Fortnight
,
and
his
Heats
must
be
more
moderate
,
lest
you
overstrain
him
:
omit
likewise
the
Scowring
,
not
giving
any
more
after
his
Heats
,
lest
being
empty
of
Humors
,
his
Body
open
,
cold
and
watry
Humours
enter
at
his
Vents
and
Pores
;
but
when
at
any
time
he
is
moderately
heated
,
bring
him
home
and
cool
him
by
gentle
Racking
before
he
comes
to
the
Stable
,
giving
him
Cordial
Balls
according
to
the
following
Receipt
.
Cordial
Balls
for
the
third
Fortnight
.
Take
Carthumus
Seeds
,
Anni-seeds
,
Fennel-seed
,
Elecampain
Roots
and
Colts-foot
Leaves
,
each
two
Ounces
,
dry
them
well
,
that
when
bruised
,
they
may
become
a
Powder
,
sift
it
thorough
a
Lawn
Sieve
,
add
two
Ounces
of
the
flower
of
Brimstone
,
an
Ounce
of
●i●orice-Juice
,
put
these
into
a
pint
of
White-wine
,
Chymical
Oil
of
Anniseeds
,
Sugar
in
Syrup
,
and
Sallad-Oil
,
each
half
a
pint
,
and
being
well
mingled
,
mix
them
with
so
much
Wheat-flower
as
they
may
reduce
it
to
a
Paste
;
make
it
up
into
Balls
as
big
as
French
Wall
nuts
,
or
pullets-Eggs
;
these
encrease
his
Wind
,
expel
Cold
,
purge
away
Molten
Grease
,
and
produce
good
sound
Flesh
;
he
may
take
one
of
these
in
the
Morning
,
and
another
at
Night
,
whole
,
or
dissolved
in
a
pint
of
warm
Ale
.
Rules
for
the
fourth
and
last
Fortnight
.
This
requires
more
Caution
than
any
of
the
preceedent
,
let
his
Bread
therefore
be
finer
than
any
hitherto
,
three
pecks
of
Wheat
to
a
peck
of
Beans
,
and
Boulted
as
fine
as
may
be
;
make
it
up
with
the
Whites
of
twenty
Eggs
,
and
New-milk
instead
of
Water
;
let
the
Oats
you
give
him
with
it
be
well
Winowed
and
Sifted
,
and
the
split
Beans
clear
from
Husks
,
tho
the
quantity
you
give
him
may
not
differ
from
what
has
been
Directed
.
In
the
first
Week
keep
the
Heating
days
as
before
,
but
in
the
next
,
which
is
the
last
,
bate
one
of
them
,
so
that
he
may
for
five
days
be
at
ease
,
to
recover
his
Spirits
and
Strength
,
yet
you
may
give
him
considerable
Airings
to
keep
his
Wind
in
good
Length
,
however
,
give
him
no
Scowring
,
but
the
better
to
expel
the
Fumes
or
Vapours
,
burn
Albanum
Storax
,
or
Frankinsence
,
in
the
Stable
,
when
close
shut
,
on
a
Chasing-dish
of
Charcoal
;
sometimes
sprinkle
a
little
Muscadine
on
his
Meat
,
at
least
twice
a
day
,
and
give
him
once
a
day
h●lf
a
pint
of
that
Wine
,
with
the
whites
of
two
or
three
Eggs
beaten
in
it
,
omiting
the
Hay
,
unless
a
small
quantity
after
his
Heating
.
The
Muzzle
may
be
laid
aside
the
last
Week
,
unless
the
three
days
before
he
Runs
,
except
he
be
a
foul
Feeder
,
and
prove
to
eat
his
Litter
,
&c.
Let
him
be
well
fed
before
and
after
Airings
.
The
day
before
the
Wager
is
to
be
run
,
Water
as
fermerly
,
yet
a
fourth
part
of
his
Meat
must
be
with
held
,
and
in
your
Evening
Airing
bring
him
home
sooner
than
usual
,
even
before
Sun-set
,
and
this
day
let
him
be
well
Shoo'd
,
and
every
thing
that
is
necessary
done
to
him
,
that
nothing
may
be
new
to
him
,
or
trouble
him
the
day
he
is
to
Run
.
On
the
Morning
the
Match
is
to
be
run
,
come
early
to
him
,
take
off
his
Muzzle
and
rub
him
well
,
especially
his
Head
,
Ears
,
Neck
and
Withers
;
make
him
a
Mash
with
Muscadine
,
Bran
,
Oats
and
Bread
,
made
as
directed
;
if
he
refuses
this
,
give
him
dried
Oats
,
and
after
them
a
pint
of
Muscadine
,
with
three
new-laid
Eggs
in
it
,
then
wash
his
Muzzle
with
the
same
Wine
,
lead
him
out
,
and
endeavour
all
you
can
to
make
him
Empty
;
lead
him
among
●reaks
,
Stubble
,
or
the
like
,
let
him
smell
to
old
Dung
,
&c.
which
will
provoke
him
to
it
,
which
emptying
is
a
great
advantage
in
Running
:
You
must
bring
him
covered
,
his
Saddle
and
Girths
lightly
on
him
,
that
he
may
not
feel
any
weight
;
wash
his
Mouth
if
he
Foam
,
and
gently
cherish
him
with
your
Hand
and
Voice
,
&c.
☞
Note
,
If
you
are
to
Ride
with
a
Person
,
who
,
by
reason
of
his
being
Lighter
than
your self
,
or
who
gives
you
any
advantage
,
that
there
must
be
Way-bits
in
the
case
,
be
sure
to
order
them
,
that
you
are
not
deceived
in
the
Management
;
so
make
your
Agreement
if
you
can
,
That
he
who
Rides
against
you
,
carries
not
the
Weights
in
his
Saddle
,
for
then
they
are
in
a
manner
as
if
he
carry'd
none
,
and
the
Disadvantage
,
is
yours
,
for
they
neither
disadvantage
the
Horse
nor
Rider
,
unless
great
Odds
be
given
in
the
weight
of
the
Riders
,
which
seldom
happens
;
but
if
he
carry
them
about
him
,
then
is
the
Advantage
much
to
your
purpose
,
for
they
will
both
hinder
the
Horse
and
his
Management
.
As
for
the
Ground
,
you
must
(
as
I
hinted
)
observe
which
your
Horse
takes
best
when
you
give
him
his
Heats
and
Airings
,
and
in
the
Race
chuse
the
most
agreeable
,
as
well
as
the
Place
and
Opportunity
will
give
you
leave
,
but
throw
not
your self
out
in
being
too
curious
in
this
matter
,
if
it
be
not
easily
gain'd
from
those
that
Ride
with
you
,
for
by
such
Niceties
many
have
lost
topping
Matches
.
Stars
,
Snips
and
Blazes
for
Beautifying
a
Horse
,
how
to
make
them
.
To
make
a
white
Star
,
Snip
or
Blaze
,
in
a
White
or
Sorrel
Horse
,
cut
a
piece
of
Led
flatted
and
smoothed
proportionable
to
your
Fancy
,
then
the
Hair
being
shaved
off
in
the
place
intended
,
open
the
Skin
with
a
Lancet
,
so
hollow
,
that
you
may
thrust
the
Led
in
when
dipped
in
Spike
Oil
,
close
it
up
and
anoint
it
with
Oil
of
Mallards
and
Cammomil
,
laying
over
it
a
Plaister
of
Bees-wax
;
when
it
has
been
there
four
days
,
take
the
Led
out
,
clap
the
skin
close
,
and
Anoint
it
as
before
,
and
when
the
Hair
(
which
it
will
soon
do
)
grows
again
,
it
will
be
Milk-white
.
Red
Stars
on
a
White
Horse
are
done
in
the
like
manner
,
in
forming
your
Led
,
shaving
and
opening
the
Skin
;
but
you
must
use
to
cause
the
Colour
,
Oil
of
Cassia
,
Soot
and
Vermilion
,
finely
temper'd
together
,
and
the
Lead
anointed
with
it
:
Take
out
the
Lead
at
the
same
days
as
the
former
,
and
anoint
the
sore
place
with
Ointment
of
Tobacco
and
Marsh-Mallows
.
A
black
Star
in
a
white
Horse
,
make
as
the
White
,
only
the
Ingredients
must
be
Soulters
Ink
,
or
Lamb-black
,
and
Oil
of
Tartar
;
and
in
this
manner
you
may
make
Feathers
or
Marks
on
any
part
of
the
Body
for
Beauty
and
Ornament
,
tho
too
frequently
used
by
some
,
who
do
it
by
way
of
Disguise
,
that
a
Horse
ill
come
by
,
may
not
be
Discover'd
.
And
thus
one
Star
,
Snip
or
Blaze
may
be
taken
out
,
and
one
of
a
different
Colour
put
in
.
Things
to
be
observ'd
when
you
put
your
Horse
to
Grass
.
Having
spoken
many
times
about
dry
feeding
,
it
will
not
be
amiss
for
the
Horse-man
to
know
how
he
should
be
Order'd
at
Grass
for
his
Health
sake
,
and
to
keep
a
comely
proportion
of
Body
,
for
in
the
knowledge
of
this
there
's
much
Advantage
.
When
he
has
stood
in
the
House
and
you
intend
him
for
Grass
,
abate
or
change
his
Cloaths
,
putting
him
on
daily
thinner
,
that
by
degrees
he
may
be
weaned
from
them
,
and
,
in
the
end
,
wearing
none
,
take
no
notice
of
it
,
or
be
prejudic'd
with
Cold
,
or
blasts
of
Wind
abroad
.
This
done
,
let
him
Blood
twice
or
thrice
,
there
being
a
day
or
two's
respit
between
;
give
him
heartning
Meats
;
by
degrees
lessen
his
Allowance
;
and
in
the
end
let
him
for
two
or
three
days
before
you
send
him
out
,
feed
on
Hay
alone
,
and
put
not
any
valuable
or
tender
Horse
into
wet
Pastures
,
where
Foggs
,
Damps
,
and
unwholsom
Airs
arise
,
from
Fens
,
Marshes
,
Ditches
,
Rivers
,
Bogs
,
or
the
like
.
However
,
the
better
to
fortifie
him
against
Sickness
or
Lameness
,
give
him
the
following
Drink
very
warm
three
Mornings
and
Evenings
.
The
Drink
to
be
given
before
Grass
.
Take
Bay-berries
,
Myrrh
.
Gentian
,
Aristilochia
,
and
the
shavings
of
Ivory
,
each
an
Ounce
,
bruise
them
when
dryed
,
so
that
they
may
be
reduc'd
to
Powder
;
give
him
half
an
Ounce
at
a
time
in
Muscadine
,
Malago
,
or
for
want
of
it
,
sweet
Wort
,
a
quart
of
either
pretty
warm
.
Thus
having
fitted
him
for
the
Field
,
put
him
out
in
a
warm
dry
day
,
that
the
cold
weather
may
seize
on
him
by
degrees
,
so
that
shutting
the
Pores
,
he
may
be
harden'd
against
it
with
little
damage
to
himself
.
How
the
Horse
is
to
be
used
when
taken
from
Grass
.
Observe
in
taking
him
up
you
do
it
in
a
dry
day
,
the
Horse
by
the
Heat
and
Air
freed
from
damps
or
wet
;
and
this
is
best
done
about
Bartholomew-Tide
at
farthest
,
unless
the
Weather
be
exceeding
clear
and
warm
,
and
then
he
may
run
to
the
first
of
September
,
but
not
conveniently
longer
;
and
for
a
Week
or
two
after
taken
up
,
give
him
no
immoderate
Heats
,
nor
over-Travel
him
,
lest
you
melt
his
Grease
,
for
the
Fat
gotten
at
Grass
is
exceeding
tender
,
and
apt
to
be
dissolv'd
by
any
violent
Motion
,
whereby
if
the
Blood
happen
to
be
Inflamed
,
it
will
endanger
his
falling
into
mortal
Sickness
:
A
day
after
he
is
Stabled
,
bring
him
forth
into
the
Air
,
and
bleed
him
well
;
cleanse
his
Feet
,
and
Shooe
him
well
,
and
give
him
the
Drink
in
proportion
before
prescrib'd
for
going
to
Grass
.
Other
material
Direstions
.
Three
days
after
your
Horse
is
taken
from
Grass
,
if
th●
Weather
be
fair
,
ride
him
abroad
,
and
after
a
gentle
Heat
,
bring
him
home
,
smooth
down
his
Hairs
and
sleek
them
with
Soap
rubbed
in
the
Palms
of
your
Hands
,
but
let
not
any
Soap
get
into
his
Eyes
,
Nostrils
,
or
Mouth
,
cleanse
him
then
with
some
warm
Water
and
a
linnen
Cloath
;
after
that
dry
him
well
with
a
wollen
Cloath
till
no
wet
remain
about
him
:
And
being
thus
cleansed
from
Dust
and
Filth
,
cover
him
as
warm
as
is
usual
in
cold
weather
,
and
this
will
make
him
Slick
and
Lively
,
and
seem
not
to
be
the
same
Horse
,
for
his
colour
will
be
somewhat
alter'd
.
Blood-letting
,
on
what
occasions
it
ought
to
be
us'd
.
Opening
the
Temple-Veins
is
proper
to
ease
pains
in
the
Head
,
if
caused
by
cold
Rheums
,
Fevers
,
Drowsiness
,
Clavers
,
Distempers
in
the
Eyes
,
and
other
Maladies
proceeding
from
afflictions
of
the
Brain
,
or
any
Swellings
or
Inflamations
about
the
Head
,
or
Throat
;
and
for
these
you
may
give
him
some
of
the
Blood
to
drink
mixed
with
Bay-Salt
.
Opening
the
weeping
Veins
under
the
Ears
is
very
proper
to
prevent
Blindness
,
and
cure
Distempers
in
the
Eyes
:
Opening
the
Pallate
Veins
prevents
or
cures
the
Lampas
,
Slavers
,
Anticor
,
Yellows
,
Drowsiness
,
Surfeit
,
Tireing
,
&c.
The
Vein
in
the
side
of
the
Neck
is
proper
to
disburthen
the
Body
of
gross
blood
,
ease
the
Heart
of
Oppressions
,
Anticor
,
Faintings
,
and
the
like
:
Opening
the
Breast-Vein
is
proper
for
Moor-foundring
,
occasion'd
by
molten
Grease
,
contracted
in
the
body
by
hard
Riding
,
preventing
Diseases
in
the
Liver
,
Lungs
,
and
other
internal
Parts
,
and
is
convenient
to
be
done
in
any
Sprain
or
Hurt
in
the
Shoulder
,
to
prevent
Lameness
.
Opening
the
Thigh
Veins
prevents
foundring
in
the
Fore-feet
,
Screwzing-bone
,
Mallender
,
or
the
like
excressential
Infirmities
.
To
bleed
on
the
four
Shackle-Veins
before
,
is
good
against
the
Crown-scab
,
Quitter-bone
,
&c.
To
open
the
Spur-veins
is
good
against
Moor-foundring
,
Farcine
in
the
Side
,
Swelling
under
the
belly
,
or
the
like
.
The
Toe
Veins
being
open'd
,
help
fretting-foundering
,
Hoof-bound
,
or
any
grief
occasion'd
by
the
beating
the
Horse's
Hoof
upon
any
hard
stony
way
.
The
bleeding

two
Thigh
Veins
behind
,
ease
grief
in
the
Kidneys
,
swelling
in
the
hinder
Legs
,
Swellings
,
Scratches
,
Pissing
blood
,
Foundring
,
&c.
To
open
the
Shoulder
Veins
behind
,
prevents
pain
in
the
Feet
,
Foundering
,
Uneasiness
,
&c.
Open
the
Flank
Veins
in
case
of
a
Fevor
,
swelling
of
the
Stones
,
Poorness
,
or
the
Tielt-Worm
.
The
Tail
Vein
open'd
,
prevents
the
Mange
,
Scab
,

,
and
falling
off
of
the
Hair
.
And
these
blood-lettings
prepare
a
Horse
or
Mare
the
better
for
Physick
,
and
greatly
enliven
him
.
What
Season
is
best
to
let
Blood
in
.
If
present
danger
require
letting
blood
you
may
wave
Critical
times
,
and
do
it
immediately
,
otherwise
observe
the
following
days
,
viz.
The
Third
and
Fifteenth
of
January
.
The
Fourth
and
Ninth
of
February
.
The
Sixth
and
Tenth
of
March.
The
Fifteenth
and
Twentieth
of
April
.
The
First
and
Thirteenth
of
May.
The
Fifteenth
and
Nineteenth
of
June
.
●n
July
and
August
,
forbear
letting
of
blood
,
unless
on
some
●urgent
occasion
.
In
September
,
bleed

Eleventh
and
Twenty
eighth
.
October
,
the
Eighth
,
and
Twenty
third
.
November
,
the
Fifth
and
Sixteenth
.
And
in
December
,
the
Fourteenth
,
Sixteenth
and
Twenty
sixth
.
These
days
by
the
most
Skilful
,
are
held
to
be
safer
and
better
than
others
●●n
sundry
regards
,
but
especially
in
that
of
the
Signs
,
who
then
Govern.
Viz.
Aries
,
the
Head
;
Taurus
,
the
Neck
;
Gemini
,
the
Shoulders
;
Cancer
,
the
Stomach
;
Leo
,
the
Heart
;
Virgo
,
the
Guts
and
belly
;
Libri
,
the
Reins
and
Buttocks
;
Scorpio
,
the
privy
Members
;
Sagitarius
,
the
Thighs
;
Capricorn
,
the
Knees
,
Aquarius
,
the
Legs
,
and
Pisces
,
the
Feet
.
From
which
,
Note
,
that
it
is
not
at
any
time
safe
to
let
Blood
in
that
part
at
the
time
the
Sign
is
predominant
or
governing
in
it

●bservations
on
a
Horse
,
as
to
the
Brain
,
Sinews
,
Veins
,
relating
to
Health
,
Strength
,
&c.
He
that
will
be
expert
in
Ordering
a
Horse
,
must
not
be
unskilful
in
knowing
the
parts
from
whence
Defects
and
Diseases
chiefly
arise
;
the
most
material
I
shall
briefly
Enumerate
.
First
.
Consider
the
Seat
of
Life
to
be
in
the
Brain
,
Heart
and
Liver
,
from
whence
it
contributes
to
,
and
disposes
every
Member
,
and
for
that
cause
,
those
are
called
the
Three
principal
Members
;
to
which
,
some
would
add
a
Fourth
,
viz.
The
Stones
:
But
that
Addition
by
the
wisest
Practitioners
has
been
rejected
,
because
if
taken
away
,
Life
still
remains
,
which
it
is
impossible
to
do
if
any
of
the
other
be
removed
.
Secondly
.
The
Sinews
,
which
are
these
,
viz.
Two
white
Sinews
or
Tendons
,
beginning
at
the
Nose
,
and
passing
through
the
Neck
and
Back
,
branch
into
the
fore-Legs
,
and
end
in
the
hinder
Legs
,
taking
their
Ligaments
in
all
the
four
Feet
.
Two
Sinews
called
the
main
Sinews
,
which
descend
from
the
Brain
,
and
passing
down
the
Cheeks
,
fasten
the
Jaws
.
Three
from
the
Shoulder
to
the
first
Joynt
of
the
Arms
or
fore-legs
,
besides
two
other
great
Sinews
.
Four
great
Sinews
from
the
Knees
to
the
Pasterns
,
with
the
same
number
in
the
hinder
part
above
.
As
well
within
as
without
the
fore-part
of
the
Breast
,
are
ten
Sinews
small
and
great
.
From
the
Reins
of
the
Back
to
the
Stones
,
are
four
great
Sinews
or
Ligaments
,
and
another
great
Sinew
running
to
the
end
of
the
Tail
.
To
conclude
,
a
Horse
has
great
and
small
,
Twenty
Nine
;
or
,
as
some
will
have
it
,
Thirty
.
Thirdly
.
The
Veins
through
which
the
Blood
Circulates
the
whole
Body
,
are
many
;
yet
seeing
they
centre
in
the
Liver
,
the
Seat
and
Fountain
of
Blood
,
distributing
it
into
every
part
;
divers
are
of
opinion
,
that
all
other
Veins
in
the
Horse's
Body
,
are
but
branches
of
the
Median
Vein
,
proceeding
directly
from
the
Liver
,
and
when-ever
that
is
afflicted
with
Wind
,
has
the
Blood
corrupted
in
it
,
or
is
subject
to
any
other
Infirmity
,
it
afflicts
all
at
once
,
the
whole
Body
of
the
Horse
.
Those
Branches
that
ascend
to
the
Head
and
upper
parts
of
the
Body
,
are
called
Ascendants
;
and
those
that
run
down
into
the
Legs
and
other
parts
of
the
Body
,
Descendants
:
And
through
these
branches
,
sleeping
and
waking
,
the
Blood
continues
its
Course
,
Ebbing
and
flowing
like
the
Ocean
,
by
the
course
of
the
Moon
.
The
things
herein
chiefly
to
be
consider'd
,
are
the
Branches
properly
to
be
open'd
,
as
I
have
directed
in
Bloot-letting
,

The
Bones
that
frame
a
Horse's
Body
,
their
Number
,
and
how
they
are
Placed
.
In
the
Body
of
a
Horse
,
the
Bones
,
not
accounting
the
Teeth
,
which
are
visible
,
thus
are
Numbred
,
viz.
His
Head-bones
,
comprehending
the
Crooks
and
handle
of
Skull
,
are
(
although
they
are
compiled
of
parts
and
parcels
of
other
Bones
)
likewise
two
flat
handles
,
which
form
the
Pallate
and
Fork
,
or
Throat
,
have
Five
.
His
Breast-bone
and
his
Chine
,
Fifty
two
other
Bones
.
His
Ribs
,
long
and
short
,
are
Thirty
six
.
His
fore-Legs
and
fore-Feet
,
contain
Forty
four
.
The
hinder
Legs
and
Feet
,
Forty
.
So
that
the
whole
Structure
of
the
Body
of
a
Horse
,
comprizing
his
Teeth
,
consists
of
177
Bones
.
Of
the
Four
Humours
in
the
Body
of
a
Horse
,
&c.
As
Fire
,
Air
,
Water
and
Earth
produce
and
give
Life
and
Nutriment
to
all
Living
Creatures
,
so
the
Humours
,
viz.
Choler
,
Blood
,
Phlegm
,
and
Melancholly
,
are
the
principal
Agitators
in
the
Bodies
of
all
Creatures
,
and
,
as
it
were
,
Compose
,
or
at
least
Preserve
them
:
Choler
,
by
reason
of
its
heat
being
alluded
to
Fire
:
Phlegm
,
by
reason
of
its
Moisture
and
Coldness
,
to
Water
:
Blood
,
by
reason
of
its
heat
and
Moisture
,
to
Air
:
And
Melancholly
,
through
its
cold
and
dryness
,
to
Earth
.
Choler
has
its
Seat
near
the
Liver
,
which
by
reason
of
its
heat
and
dryness
accords
with
the
Blood
which
has
its
Fountain
in
the
Liver
,
and
from
thence
disperseth
it self
through
the
Body
.
Phlegm
has
its
chief
Seat
about
the
Brain
,
which
is
a
principal
Seat
of
Life
,
and
frequently
afflicts
when
out
of
temper
,
with
Rheums
,
Colds
,
Coughs
,
Catarrhs
,
&c.
Melancholly
has
its
Seat
about
the
Spleen
,
being
the
gross
and
earthly
part
of
the
Blood
and
Choler
.
As
for
the
Offices
and
Dispositions
of
these
Humours
,
they
are
four
;
viz.
Choler
causeth
Concoction
and
voiding
of
Excrements
;
Blood
Nourisheth
the
Body
;
Phlegm
gives
Motion
to
the
Joynts
;

.
The
Humours
or
Constitution
of
a
Horses
Body
to
be
taken
from
the
Colour
,
&c.
The
Humours
are
to
be
known
,
that
a
Farrier
or
any
skilful
Horse-Doctor
may
the
better
prepare
the
Medicine
which
I
am
hereafter
to
prescribe
;
and
this
may
be
done
divers
ways
,
and
particularly
by
the
Colour
of
a
Horse
,
Sympathizing
with
the
Humours
;
viz.
If
a
Horse
be
Cole-black
,
and
has
nothing
of
changeable
about
him
,
then
Choler
is
predominant
in
him
;
and
by
reason
of
the
great
heat
in
him
,
he
is
incident
to
Inflamations
of
the
Liver
,
Yellows
,
and
Pestilential
Fevers
;
and
in
that
case
he
must
have
suitable
Medicines
to
allay
Heat
,
and
purge
out
the
superfluities
of
Choler
;
yet
these
Medicines
must
not
be
of
a
quality
too
much
operating
,
lest
they
impair
his
Strength
;
for
the
cholerick
Horse
,
though
he
be
fierce
and
fiery
,
has
nevertheless
no
great
Strength
.
If
your
Horse
be
Dark
or
bright
Bay
,
neither
scouling
Countenance
,
bad
Mouthed
,
white
Flanked
,
white
Fleabitten
,
white
Lyard
like
,
Silver
or
black
with
a
white
Star
,
white
Rash
,
with
a
black
Foot
;
then
he
is
Sanguine
,
and
the
Diseases
to
which
he
is
most
subject
,
are
the
Consumption
of
the
Liver
,
Glanders
,
Leprosie
,
and
such
other
Distempers
caused
by
Infection
.
Those
of
this
Complexion
are
very
strong
and
will
endure
strong
Medicine
without
impairing
strength
.
If
these
Medicines
are
not
compounded
of
extraordinary
hot
Ingredients
to
over-heat
the
Blood
.
If
your
Horse
be
perfect
White
,
Yellow
,
Dun
,
Kite
colour
,
Mous-dun
,
or
the
like
in
mixture
,
then
is
the
prevailing
Humour
in
him
Phlegm
;
and
such
are
slow
of
Nature
,
subject
to
lose
his
Flesh
,
also
to
cold
Rheums
,
Head-Ach
Coughs
,
Staggers
,
and
many
other
Distempers
proceeding
from
cold
watry
Distillations
;
and
therefore
he
must
have
hot
Medicines
,
viz.
Simples
of
a
hot
and
strong
working
nature
,
that
may
effectually
operate
on
the
Mass
of
Phlegm
.
If
a
dark
Bay
colour
,
having
long
White
Hairs
,
called
Goats-hairs
,
on
his
Legs
,
Russet
,
Chesnut
,
Ash-coloured
,
o●
Gray
;
Then
Melancholy
is
predominant
,
and
his
Distempers
are
Inflamations
of
the
Spleen
,
Frenzies
,
and
other
the
like
dull
and
Melancholy
Distempers
,
and
Require
col●
and
moist
Medicines
;
for
those
of
a
hot
or
drying
quality
are
very
hurtfull
.
These
Horses
are
very
strong
,
though
they
appear
no●
so
;
and
consequently
,
are
fit
for
fervile
Labours
;
and
when
you
find
a
Horse
mixed
with
many
,
or
all
of
these
Colours
,
then
he
,
little
or
more
,
(
as
the
Colours
are
more
or
less
on
him
of
one
or
the
other
kind
)
participates
of
th●
Humours
;
and
Medicines
must
be
temper'd
accordingly
;
as
also
to
the
Nature
of
the
Sickness
,
if
it
has
continu'd
●ong
,
and
he
is
enfeebled
thereby
,
then
you
must
not
give
him
over
strong
Potions
:
but
more
of
Medicines
hereafter
.
How
to
prepare
a
Horse
to
receive
Medicines
,
if
any
Distemper
has
seiz'd
him
.
Observe
twenty
four
hours
before
you
intend
to
administer
the
Medicine
,
(
whether
Powder
,
Pills
,
or
Drench
,
composed
of
Simples
,
&c.
)
that
you
restrain
him
from
eat●ng
Hay
or
Straw
,
or
any
hard
Meats
that
admit
not
of
easie
Digesture
,
thereby
to
hinder
the
Operation
of
the
Physick
;
and
for
twelve
hours
before
keep
him
fasting
,
for
the
Emptiness
of
Stomach
gives
a
free
Operation
to
any
Purge
,
when
Fulness
hinders
greatly
the
working
of
any
Medicine
,
much
obstructing
it
,
and
thereby
frequently
injuring
the
Horse
,
by
turning
the
force
of
it
on
the
Vitals
.
The
safest
Meat
to
prepare
him
,
is
,
either
Rye
,
or
Wheat
Bran
,
mix'd
with
white
split
Beans
,
Wheat
flower
mix'd
with
white
Oats
,
and
his
Drink
,
warm
Water
;
into
which
dust
a
little
fine
Bran.
What
Purgations
,
with
the
least
Danger
,
may
be
given
to
a
Horse
.
The
most
Effectual
and
gentlest
Purgations
are
Pills
;
but
it
must
be
consider'd
,
as
is
said
,
according
to
the
state
of
the
Horse's
Body
;
And
,
for
Example
,
to
make
the
gentlest
Pill
against
Pestilential
or
Infectious
Diseases
.
Peel
twenty
Cloves
of
Garlick
,
bruise
and
well
temper
them
with
a
pound
of
fresh-Butter
,
Roll
them
up
in
balls
as
big
as
Walnuts
,
give
four
or
five
of
them
,
one
soon
after
another
;
and
if
the
Contagion
have
not
seiz'd
the
Heart
,
Brain
,
or
Liver
,
it
will
work
it
out
.
Approved
Rules
to
be
observ'd
by
such
as
either
Travel
or
Exercise
Horses
;
for
want
of
the
due
Observation
whereof
,
many
excellent
Horses
have
been
lost
;
though
hereby
they
may
be
kept
from
Sickness
.
First
,
when
your
Horse
is
lusty
,
pleasant
and
clear
in
●ody
,
then
he
is
fit
for
Labour
or
any
Exercise
:
but
if
he
be
sad
,
heavy
,
or
dejected
in
Countenance
,
do
not
Labour
him
until
you
have
found
the
Cause
,
and
removed
it
.
Secondly
,
let
not
your
Horse
eat
any
thing
for
two
or
three
hours
before
you
travel
him
,
and
then
not
much
until
you
come
to
your
Lodging
;
for
baiting
at
Noon
is
naught
and
hurtful
,
except
you
rest
four
or
five
hours
,
so
as
that
he
may
not
travel
upon
a
full
Stomach
,
and
let
his
Bit
be
small
,
and
be
sure
he
never
wear
a
rusty
Bit
or
Snaffle
,
for
fear
of
the
Canker
.
Thirdly
,
let
your
Travel
be
moderate
,
except
necessity
(
which
cannot
be
limited
)
enforce
it
;
then
be
sure
not
to
let
your
Horse
either
eat
or
drink
until
he
be
very
cold
;
and
if
it
be
in
Winter-time
,
be
sure
to
cloath
his
Head
and
Breast
very
warm
after
your
Travel
;
and
every
Morning
either
squirt
a
little
Vinegar
into
his
Nostrils
,
or
else
rub
them
with
Oyl
of
Bay
,
with
a
Cloath
nointed
therewith
fastned
to
the
end
of
a
Stick
,
and
thrust
up
and
down
him
Nostrils
to
purge
his
Head
.
Fourthly
,
neither
wash
nor
Water
your
Horse
(
especially
in
the
Winter-time
)
for
when
he
is
very
hot
,
to
walk
him
in
the
cold
Air
is
dangerous
,
and
washing
is
a
speedy
Preparative
to
bring
him
to
some
dangerous
Disease
;
for
there
is
no
desperate
Disease
incident
to
a
Horse
,
but
the
fame
proceeds
from
the
Causes
of
too
much
Heat
or
Cold
;
and
none
more
dangerous
then
this
.
Fiftly
,
when
you
travel
,
alight
often
from
your
Horse
(
if
Cause
of
Necesity
enforce
not
the
contrary
)
and
lead
him
to
some
place
of
Grass
,
Straw
,
or
Brakes
,
and
there
stay
and
whistle
until
your
Horse
Piss
,
which
he
will
hardly
do
except
it
be
in
such
places
,
because
the
sprinkling
of
his
Water
will
scald
his
Legs
.
Sixthly
,
if
your
Horse
be
very
hot
,
let
him
not
drink
cold
Water
,
but
rather
at
some
House
give
him
a
quart
of
good
Beer
,
or
a
pint
of
Wine
;
and
if
you
do
Water
him
by
the
way
,
let
him
not
drink
until
he
have
washed
his
Mouth
,
which
is
done
when
he
thrusteth
his
Head
into
the
Water
,
presently
pull
up
his
Head
which
will
cleanse
his
Mouth
;
and
if
you
are
forced
to
let
him
drink
,
ride
him
so
that
he
may
be
sure
to
keep
the
same
Heat
he
was
in
before
.
Seventhly
,
After
his
Labour
,
if
you
can
have
a
convenient
place
,
let
him
wallow
himself
,
for
it
is
no
less
delightful
then
comfortable
to
his
Body
.
Eightly
,
If
he
happen
to
fall
sick
in
your
Travel
(
which
proceeds
commonly
either
from
eat●ng
or
drinking
too
much
at
a
time
,
or
otherwise
)
give
him
a
pint
of
Sack
or
Malmsey
,
a
quarter
of
a
pint
of
Aqua-●ita
,
with
six
penny
worth
of
the
best
Treacle
,
and
a
quar●er
of
a
pint
of
the
best
Olive-Oil
,
brew
them
well
toge●her
,
and
give
him
a
draught
,
and
then
take
a
new
laid
Egg
,
and
pull
out
his
Tongue
,
bruise
the
Shell
,
and
thrust
●t
into
his
Throat
,
and
then
let
go
his
Tongue
;
do
this
●wice
,
then
let
him
blood
in
the
Pallet
of
his
Mouth
,
and
●ub
it
well
with
Salt
,
and
afterwards
order
him
as
he
should
●e
in
the
Stable
.
Another
Excellent
way
,
to
the
like
purpose
.
If
you
cannot
get
Sack-Wine
,
or
Treacle
,
give
him
a
●int
of
Aqua-Vita
,
or
any
other
comfortable
Water
,
with
●wo
Eggs
,
in
the
form
aforesaid
,
to
comfort
his
Heart
.
●irst
,
at
night
give
him
a
good
comfortable
Mash
,
if
he
●ill
eat
it
,
and
clean
sweet
Provender
,
such
as
he
will
eat
;
●athe
his
Legs
with
Butter
and
Beer
,
cleanse
his
Feet
,
and
●op
them
with
Caw-dung
,
and
after
he
is
sufficiently
fed
;
●●ve
him
plenty
of
Sweet
Litter
,
shut
him
dark
in
the
Sta●e
,
and
early
in
the
Morning
let
him
be
throughly
dressed
●●d
rubbed
,
and
before
you
ride
,
two
hours
,
let
him
eat
●●lf
a
Peck
of
old
sweet
Oats
,
with
a
pint
of
the
strongest
●le
,
Beer
,
Malmsey
,
or
White-Wine
for
his
Breakfast
.
●●condly
,
If
your
Horse
be
young
,
that
you
do
travel
●●on
(
which
is
the
Overthrow
of
all
fine
mettled
Horses
)
●●en
you
come
home
,
and
may
let
him
rest
,
then
let
him
●ke
his
Ease
and
bleed
;
and
if
you
find
his
Blood
hot
●●d
dark
coloured
,
spare
not
to
let
him
bleed
until
there
●●me
perfect
Blood
;
after
three
or
four
days
keep
him
●th
god
Mashes
,
and
give
him
the
purging
Drink
be●●●e
mentioned
,
with
a
pint
of
White-Wine
,
an
ounce
of
●es
dissolved
into
powder
,
half
an
ounce
of
Agarick
,
●●
a
spoonful
of
the
Powder
of
Liquorice
,
made
blood-●●m
,
and
well
brewed
together
,
and
let
him
not
drink
●●
Water
for
four
or
five
days
after
,
and
in
his
Provender
put
the
Powder
of
Brimstone
,
Enula
Campana
,
and
Polipodium
of
the
Oak
,
well
mingled
together
,
a
spoonful
at
●
time
,
two
or
three
hours
before
his
Watering
,
and
he
wil●
remain
a
healthful
and
sound
Horse
,
if
he
be
thus
used
ti●●
he
be
eight
years
old
;
for
then
the
chief
danger
is
past
.
The
Order
of
Curing
Horses
that
are
Diseas'd
▪
The
Causes
,
the
Signs
,
and
the
Cure●
thereof
.
Of
the
Ague
or
Fever
in
Horses
.
THE
Learned
do
hold
Three
gential
Kinds
:
First
When
the
Vital
Spirits
are
inflamed
,
wherein
he●
is
predominant
more
than
Nature
requireth
.
Secondl●
When
the
Humours
are
distemper'd
by
heat
.
Thirdl●
When
the
firm
parts
of
the
body
are
continually
hot
,
●
that
the
Ague
cometh
by
the
excessive
heating
of
the
Hors●
and
thereupon
a
sudden
Cold
,
or
by
fullness
of
bad
H●mours
,
which
principally
grow
from
foul
,
full
,
and
ra●
feeding
,
and
too
much
rest
;
and
for
that
reason
it
take●
the
Horse
either
hot
or
cold
,
and
to
keep
due
hours
to
mak●
him
shake
and
tremble
as
a
Man
;
also
we
may
know
ho●
the
same
appeareth
from
the
Inflamations
of
the
Stomac●
which
scaldeth
and
maketh
the
Tongue
raw
;
there
a●other
causes
,
viz.
by
spare
feeding
,
not
clean
feeding
,
a●dry
feeding
,
and
for
want
of
moderate
labour
.
The
Cu●
shall
be
when
you
perceive
his
dejected
Countenance
,
a●
that
he
beginneth
to
tremble
,
enforce
him
into
a
Heat
,
a●
give
him
this
purging
Drink
:
Take
a
quart
of
White-Win●
put
therein
an
Ounce
of
Aloes
small
beaten
:
Of
Agar●●
half
an
Ounce
,
of
Liquorice
and
Anniseeds
half
a
Dra●
and
some
Honey
warmed
a
little
on
the
Fire
;
and
th●
ride
him
until
he
be
hot
,
and
let
him
sweat
moderately
●
the
Stable
,
and
take
a
special
care
of
him
;
wash
his
Tong●●
with
Allum
water
,
Vinegar
and
Sage
,
and
give
him
swe●
Straw
to
eat
,
and
a
Gallon
of
old
sweet
Oats
,
;
at
Nigh●
give
him
a
good
Mash
,
and
the
next
Night
after
let
him
●l●ed
a
quart
;
and
if
his
Blood
be
very
thick
,
dark
,
yei
●ow
,
let
him
bleed
two
Quarts
,
and
afterwards
keep
him
warm
from
the
Air
for
three
or
four
days
,
and
give
him
warm
Water
to
drink
,
and
a
little
Saliet-Oyl
in
it
,
if
he
will
drink
it
.
Another
of
the
same
.
Let
him
blood
,
take
of
Garmander
Four
ounces
,
of
Gum-Dragon●●
,
and
of
dead
Roses
,
of
each
an
ounce
:
Of
Oyle
●live
Four
Ounce●
;
put
them
into
a
quart
of
strong
Ale
,
and
give
it
warm
to
the
Horse
to
drink
,
then
ride
him
un●il
he
sweat
,
and
cl●ath
him
,
and
keep
him
warm
as
afore●aid
.
Of
the
Ague
in
the
Head
.
The
cause
of
〈◊〉
Disease
,
proceeds
either
from
cold
,
or
●aking
of
too
much
heat
,
or
of
a
raw
imperfect
Digestion
of
the
Stomach
,
which
proceeds
principally
also
from
full
and
foul
f●●ding
;
for
betwixt
the
Stomach
and
the
Brain
●s
such
Assinity
,
as
that
they
do
equally
communicate
their
●amage●
:
The
Signs
are
these
;
The
hanging
down
of
his
●ead
,
his
Eyes
will
swell
and
run
with
Water
,
and
he
will
●orsake
his
Meat
.
The
Cure
is
,
to
let
him
blood
in
the
●allet
of
his
Mouth
,
and
rub
it
with
Salt
to
make
it
bleed
well
;
then
take
a
●tick
with
a
Linnen-cloath
fastened
to
●he
end
of
it
,
well
anointed
with
the
Oyl
of
Bay
,
thrust
it
●p
and
down
his
Nostrils
,
thereby
to
open
and
purge
his
●ead
:
Also
p●rfume
him
with
the
smoak
of
Garlick-stalks
●roken
into
small
pieces
:
Also
air
him
with
the
smoak
of
●rankincense
,
belding
the
same
in
a
Chafingdish
under
his
Nostrills
,
with
a
great
Cloath
cast
over
his
Head
,
and
let
be
done
Morning
and
Evening
:
Keep
him
with
spare
●yet
and
moderate
Exercise
,
the
which
will
cleanse
his
●●omack
,
and
make
it
empty
,
then
his
brain
will
not
be
●quieted
.
Afterwards
let
him
blood
,
and
give
him
good
●●●hes
to
drink
for
two
days
,
and
no
cold
water
;
as
I
●●all
write
down
the
Causes
of
some
Diseases
that
are
most
●●known
to
the
people
;
so
for
those
that
they
are
so
well
●●quainted
with
,
I
shall
only
set
down
the
Cures
.
Of
the
sudden
Sickness
of
a
Horse
.
The
cause
is
,
for
that
the
Heart
,
which
is
the
Charriot
o●
Life
,
wherein
the
Soul
of
the
Horse
liveth
,
wanting
the
use
of
the
Veins
and
Arteries
,
to
carry
the
vital
spirit
o●
heat
to
all
the
parts
of
the
body
,
to
give
the
Horse
feelling
and
ability
to
operation
,
by
reason
of
some
obstructions
of
Humours
and
Cold
,
which
,
for
want
of
Heat
,
cannot
be
dissolved
,
for
that
the
nature
of
Cold
is
to
bind
and
conglutinate
together
,
and
keep
them
from
their
natura●
Course
,
proceeding
from
some
violent
Exercise
,
and
immoderate
Feeding
and
Rest
.
The
sign
is
,
the
sudden
dejectment
of
his
Countenance
.
The
Cure
is
,
to
let
him
blood
on
both
sides
of
the
breast
,
next
the
heart
,
whereby
the
Veins
and
Arteries
being
evacuated
and
emptied
,
the
▪
may
begin
to
do
that
office
whereunto
Nature
hath
appointed
them
:
Let
him
bleed
the
quantity
of
two
quarts
then
give
him
a
comfortable
drink
,
to
stir
up
the
vital
Spirits
to
actions
,
viz.
Take
a
quart
of
the
best
Sack
,
and
burn
it
with
Grains
,
Cloves
and
Cinnamon
,
and
a
quarte●
of

and
burn
it
altogether
with
half
a
pint
of
Sallet-Oyl
,
and
Four
pennyworth
of
the
bes●
Trea●le
,
then
ride
him
very
gently
till
he
begin
to
sweat
and
so
turn
him
into
the
Stable
,
and
let
him
stand
●●●
Meats
,
but
beware
you
do
for
him
there
,
according
t●
your
direction
,
and
be
sure
you
cloath
him
not
too
warin●
for
the
Drink
will
throughly
warm
him
,
and
make
hi●
sweat
;
let
his
drink
be
warm
water

wherein

and
●noint
the
place
with
a
Feather
.
Of
a
Horse
that
stumbleth
,
which
is
called
the
Cords
.
This
is
called
the
Cords
:
The
Cord
is
a
Sinew
that
●reedeth
amongst
the
Sinews
,
the
one
end
cometh
down
●o
the
shankle
Vein
,
and
so
up
thorough
the
Leg
,
goeth
●ver
the
inner
side
of
the
Knee
,
and
so
over
the
Shoulder
,
●●d
so
along
the
Neck
by
the
Wesant
,
and
it
goeth
over
●he
Temples
under
his
Eye
,
down
over
the
Snout
,
betwixt
●oth
the
Nostrils
,
and
the
Gristle
,
there
knit
the
length
●f
an
Almond
;
take
a
sharp
knife
and
cut
a
slit
even
at
●●e
Top
of
his
Nose
,
just
with
the
point
of
the
Gristle
;
●pen
the
slit
,
and
you
shall
perceive
a
white
string
,
take
●
up
with
a
Boars
Tooth
,
or
a
Bucks
Horn
,
that
is
crook●d
,
or
some
crooked
Bodkin
,
and
twine
it
about
the
●rait
,
and
cut
it
asunder
;
you
may
twine
it
so
much
as
that
you
may
rear
his
foot
from
the
ground
,
and
then
stirch
up
the
slit
,
and
anoint
it
with
Butter
,
and
the
Horse
doubtless
will
be
cured
.
Of
the
Canker
.
The
Cure
is
,
let
him
blood
abundantly
in
the
Veins
that
be
next
to
the
Sore
,
then
take
of
Allum
one
pound
,
of
white
Coperas
a
quartern
,
and
a
good
handful
of
Salt
,
boyl
them
together
in
fair
running
water
,
from
a
pottle
to
a
quart
;
this
water
being
warm
,
put
part
thereof
into
a
dish
,
and
with
a
Clout
wash
the
same
till
it
begin
for
to
bleed
,
and
let
it
dry
;
then
take
of
Black-Soap
one
pound
,
and
of
●uick-silver
half
an
ounce
,
and
incorporate
them
,
till
that
the
Quick-silver
be
not
seen
,
and
always
after
you
have
washed
the
same
with
a
slice
,
cover
the
Ulcer
with
this
Medicine
till
it
be
whole
,
but
he
sure
still
to
let
the
blood
he
about
the
Ulcer
for
many
days
together
,
and
when
it
is
killed
,
then
cast
upon
it
the
powder
of
unslack'd
Lime
,
or
of
Brimstone
.
Of
the
Farcin
.
This
Ulcer
is
not
unknown
to
any
that
have
enjoyed
Horses
,
and
yet
unknown
almost
to
all
;
I
mean
the
true
cause
of
this
Disease
,
and
the
Cure
;
some
say
it
is
a
corruption
of
Blood
,
some
an
outward
hurt
,
as
of
:
pur-galling
,
biting
of
Ticks
,
Hogs-Lice
,
or
such
like
;
some
say
an
infi●mity
bred
in
the
Breast
near
the
Heart
,
and
in
the
side
Vessel●
and
God
near
the
Stones
,
many
evil
humours
congealed
together
,
which
afterwards
disperse
themselves
into
the
Thighs
,
and
sometimes
into
the
Head
,
and
do
send
forth
wa●ry
humours
into
the
Nostrils
,
and
then
it
is
called
the
●unning
Farcin
.
Indeed
if
the
true
Cause
of
a
Disease
be
known
,
the
Disease
it self
is
easily
cured
.
The
Mange
,
the
Lep●●sie
,
and
this
Disease
of
the
●arcin
,
are
most
perni●ions
to
a
Horse
,
for
oftentimes
it
falleth
out
,
that
many
Horse●
infected
therewith
,
though
they
live
,
and
the
Disease
●●●meth
to
be
healed
,
yet
are
they
rendred
of
small
or
no
use
:
For
my
own
part
I
conjecture
the
cause
of
this
Disease
grow●
either
from
abundance
of
bad
Blood
,
or
by
a
great
Dis●●mper
of
the
Blood
,
through
a
violent
heat
,
changed
into
a
sudden
cold
.
To
cure
this
Distemper
,
first
let
him
blood
on
both
sides
of
the
Neck
,
three
quarts
at
least
,
for
it
is
most
certain
that
the
Loyns
which
is
then
the
Fountain
of
Blood
,
is
corrupted
,
and
so
sendeth
the
Fume
into
every
part
of
the
Body
,
as
to
become
loathsome
to
behold
:
Then
give
him
this
drink
;
Take
a
Gallon
of
fair
water
,
put
into
it
a
good
handful
of
Rue
,
a
good
spoonful
of
Hemp-seed
,
and
a
handful
of
the
inner
Rinde
of
green
Elder
,
bruise
them
in
a
Morter
together
,
and
seeth
it
till
it
he
half
consumed
,
and
being
cold
,
give
it
him
to
drink
:
Evermore
continue
to
let
him
blood
in
that
Vein
which
is
nearest
to
the
sore
place
,
a
great
quantity
,
as
you
see
occasion
;
let
his
Diet
be
thin
,
but
very
clean
and
sweet
,
then
take
this
approved
Medicine
following
;
which
,
though
the
Disease
be
never
so
foul
,
it
will
undoubtedly
●ure
it
.
Take
of
Herbgrace
a
handful
,
Fetherfew
a
handful
,
of
Chick-weed
of
the
House
,
a
handful
,
of
Kikswood
,
a
●andful
,
of
Heart-Robert
,
a
handful
,
keep
the
residue
thereof
in
a
Pipkin
close
cover'd
in
the
earth
,
stop
the
mouth
thereof
close
with
Herb-grace
and
Dock-leaves
,
and
a
green
Turf
laid
upon
it
,
no
air
to
come
in
,
and
every
third
day
untye
his
Ears
and
dress
it
,
and
so
continue
it
till
all
the
Facine
be
dead
;
for
undoubtedly
at
three
or
four
dressings
it
will
kill
it
;
wash
all
the
Hearbs
so
clean
that
no
durt
nor
filth
be
on
them
:
Boyl
Chamberlye
and
Bay-Salt
,
with
a
little
Copper
as
and
Strong-Netties
to
wash
the
Sores
if
need
be
;
but
beware
of
burning
them
either
with
Fire
or
other
Corrosives
,
for
although
it
may
kill
the
Ulcer
,
yet
being
dispersed
,
it
will
burn
and
scorch
the
Horses
skin
;
for
burning
doth
purse
the
Skin
,
and
maketh
it
run
together
,
so
as
the
Horse
will
never
after
prosper
.
I
would
have
you
get
cases
of
Leather
,
fasten'd
to
a
head-stall
,
made
hollow
like
the
shape
of
a
Horses
Ears
,
or
make
them
lank-eared
,
which
thing
the
Sadlers
will
help
you
in
;
for
many
times
,
by
long
binding
,
the
Ears
are
spoiled
,
so
as
that
they
must
be
cut
off
.
After
that
you
see
the
filthy
Ulcer
kill'd
and
dead
,
yet
you
must
know
whether
the
Blood
is
still
putrified
and
corrupted
,
therefore
you
must
at
least
let
him
blood
,
but
always
in
several
places
;
And
when
you
see
the
Blood
fine
and
pure
,
then
give
him
some
good
scouring
Drink
,
a
quart
of
White-wine
,
a
quarter
of
an
ounce
of
Rhubarb
in
very
thin
s●●ices
,
and
laid
in
steep
all
night
;
an
ounce
and
an
half
of
Alloes
in
powder
dissolved
therein
,
half
an
ounce
of
Agarick
,
an
ounce
of
Sena
steeped
in
the
Wine
all
night
,
and
Three
Races
of
Ginger
,
sliced
and
laid
also
in
steep
all
night
,
and
two
ounces
of
Syrup
of
Roses
;
but
the
Ruburb
,
Sena
,
and
Ginger
,
take
out
of
the
Wine
before
you
put
in
the
other
Simples
,
and
then
make
it
blood
warm
,
and
give
it
the
Horse
,
and
so
let
him
rest
all
that
day
,
giving
him
nothing
but
Wheat-Straw
at
night
,
and
the
next
day
following
a
Bottle
of
sweet
strong
Wort
,
and
a
quarter
of
a
pint
of
Treacle
,
and
keep
him
warm
.
After
all
this
wash
his
Body
with
Bucklye
,
and
Black-Soap
,
and
after
cloath
him
and
give
him
a
sweat
,
and
he
will
recover
.
Of
the
Fistula
.
This
is
a
filthy
Ulcer
also
,
bred
from
some
Ulcer
not
throughly
cured
.
The
Remedy
is
to
search
the
depth
thereof
,
with
a
Quill
,
or
some
o●●er
Instrument
of
Lead
,
for
unless
you
find
the
bottom
it
is
hard
to
cure
,
and
having
found
the
bottom
,
if
it
be
in
a
place
where
you
may
cut
with
a
Razor
,
make
a
slit
against
the
bottom
,
so
wide
that
you
may
boldly
thrust
in
your
Finger
,
to
feel
if
any
Bone
or
Gristle
be
perished
,
or
spungy
,
or
loose
Flesh
,
which
must
be
gotten
out
,
then
boyl
a
quartern
of
Honey
,
and
an
ounce
of
Verdegrease
in
Powder
,
stiring
it
continually
until
it
look
red
,
then
Tent
therewith
and
Boulster
with
Flax
that
it
get
not
out
;
but
if
the
place
be
where
the
Tent
cannot
conveniently
be
kept
in
,
fasten
on
each
side
of
the
hole
a
Shoe-makers
Thread
over
the
Bolster
,
to
keep
the
Tent
in
,
renewing
it
every
day
until
it
leave
Mattering
,
and
make
the
Tent
lesser
and
lesser
,
and
sprinkle
thereon
a
little
slack
Lime
:
But
if
you
cannot
come
to
tent
it
to
the
bottom
,
then
take
strong
Lye
,
Honey
,
Roch-Alom
,
Mercury
,
and
seeth
them
together
,
and
apply
them
to
the
bottom
of
the
Fistula
.
If
the
Fistula
be
in
the
Head
,
take
the
Juice
of
Houseleek
,
and
dip
a
lock
of
Wool
in
it
,
and
put
the
same
in
his
Ears
,
and
use
it
every
day
till
it
be
whole
.
These
Infirmities
are
Cured
by
this
following
Medicine
;
all
broken
Bones
,
all
Bones
out
of
joint
,
swaying
of
the
Back
,
weakness
in
the
Back
,
Horse-hipped
,
Horse-stifled
.
The
Bones
being
placed
in
their
true
and
proper
places
,
according
to
the
form
of
the
number
,
you
shall
first
bath
the
grieved
place
with
warm
Patch-grease
,
or
Piece-grease
,
then
clap
about
it
a
binding
Plaister
of
Pitch
,
Rosin
,
Mastick
,
and
Sallet-Oyl
,
well
mixed
together
,
and
molten
on
the
Fire
;
then
fold
the
Limb
hard
about
with
fine
Flax
,
and
splint
it
with
broad
,
flat
,
strong
,
and
soft
Splints
,
and
remove
not
the
dressing
for
the
space
of
Fifteen
days
,
except
that
you
find
the
Rowlers
to
slacken
,
which
is
a
very
good
sign
,
and
then
you
may
straiten
them
again
,
or
if
you
find
the
Member
to
increase
in
swelling
,
and
that
the
Rowlers
grow
straiter
and
straiter
,
then
you
may
give
the
Member
eas●
;
for
it
is
a
sign
that
it
was
rowled
too
strait
before
;
and
thus
you
shall
dress
it
but
twice
in
Thirty
days
,
or
thereabouts
,
in
which
time
the
Bones
will
be
knit
;
but
if
through
the
breach
of
Dislocation
,
you
find
any
gross
substance
to
appear
about
the
grieved
place
,
then
you
shall
twice
or
thrice
a
day
bath
it
with
Patch-grease
,
and
that
will
take
away
the
Eye-sore
in
a
short
space
.
Of
Leporsie
and
universal
Manginess
.
The
Horse
that
is
infected
with
this
Disease
,
will
be
full
of
Scabs
,
Rawness
,
and
S●urvey
,
continually
scratching
.
The
Cure
is
,
first
for
to
let
him
blood
on
one

and
hot

Shooes
,
and
make
his
Feet

,
then
tack

hollow
Shooe
on
,
and
take
half

,
Four
or
Five
times
till
it
be

When
you
find
your
Horse
to
be
Surbaited
,
presently
clap
to
each
of
his
Fore
Feet
two
new

Eggs
,
and
crush
them
therein
,
and
then
upon
the

good
store
of
Cow-dung
,
thus
stop
him
four
hours
,
and
he
will
recover

Instructions
in
giving
of
Fire
,
or
using
of
Corrosives
,
which
heal
all
sorts
of
Farcies
,
Cankers
,
Fistulas
,
Leprosies
,
Mangies
,
Scabs
,
&c.
There
are
two
ways
to
give
Fire
,
the
One
actual
,
and
the
other
potential
;
the
First
is
done
by
Medicine
,
either
Corrosive
,
Putrefactive
or
Caustick
.
The
actual
Fire
stoppeth
the
Corruption
of
Members
,
and
stancheth
blood
,
provided
the
Sinews
,
Cords
,
and
Ligaments
,
be
not
touched
;
the
best
instruments
to
Cauterize
,
or
Sear
with
,
are
of
Gold
or
Silver
;
the
second
best
are
of
Copper
,
the
worst
of
Iron
.
The
Potential
Fires
,
are
Medecines
,
Corrosive
,
Putrefactive
or
Caustick
(
as
we
said
before
)
Corrosives
are
simple
or
compound
,
the
simple
Corrosives
are
Roch-Allum
,
burnt
and
unburnt
,
Red
Coral
,
Mercury
sublimed
,
&c.
The
Compound
Vnguintum
,
Apostolorum
,
Vnguintum
Aegiptiacum
,
and
Vnguintum
Coroceum
,
with
others
.
Medicines
Putrefactive
,
are
your
Arsnick
,
Resalgar
,
Chrisocolo
,
and
Aconitum
.
Medicines
which
are
Caustick
,
are
strong
Iye
,
Lime
,
Vitriol
,
Aquafortis
,
and
the
like
.
Corrosives
are
weaker
than
Putrefactives
,
and
Putrefactives
,
are
weaker
than
Causticks
.
Corrosives
work
in
the
fost
Flesh
,
Putrefactives
in
ihe
hard
,
and
Causticks
break
the
sound
Skin
.
Thus
you
see
the
Use
of
these
things
,
you
may
apply
them
at
your
Pleasure
;
for
these
cure
all
sorts
of
Farcies
,
Cankers
,
Fistula's
,
Leprosies
,
Maungies
,
Scabs
,
and
such
like
poisonous
Infections
.
Of
a
Horse
that
is
prick'd
in
the
Foot
with
a
Nail
,
or
otherwise
.
The
Cure
is
,
Cut
the
mouth
of
the
Hole
where
the
Prick
is
,
as
broad
as
a
Two-penny
piece
,
and
search
it
clean
,
for
else
it
may
prove
very
dangerous
;
for
Remedy
take
a
handful
of
red
Nettles
,
and
beat
them
in
a
Mortar
,
put
thereinto
a
spoonful
of
red
Vinegar
,
and
a
spoonful
of
black
Soap
,
and
three
spoonfuls
of
Boars-Grease
or
salt
Bacon
,
beat
them
altogether
,
and
make
a
Salve
thereof
,
and
thrust
as
much
into
the
Sore
as
you
can
,
and
stop
it
from
falling
out
;
let
it
take
no
Wet
,
and
it
shall
never
rot
farther
.
Of
the
Quitterbone
.
This
is
a
breaking
out
of
the
top
of
the
Cronet
of
the
Hoof
,
commonly
on
the
inside
,
and
it
cometh
by
pricking
or
gravelling
;
it
will
break
forth
with
Matter
,
or
a
little
deep
Hole
like
a
Thistle
.
The
Cure
is
,
To
burn
it
about
with
a
hot
Iron
,
then
take
of
Arsnick
the
quantity
of
a
Bean
,
beaten
into
fine
Powder
,
and
put
into
the
bottom
of
the
Hole
with
a
Quill
;
stop
the
mouth
of
the
Hole
close
with
Tow
,
and
bind
it
so
that
the
Horse
may
not
come
at
it
with
his
Mouth
,
and
so
let
him
rest
that
day
;
the
next
,
if
the
Hole
look
black
it
is
a
good
sign
,
then
tent
it
with
Hogs-grease
and
Turpentine
molten
together
with
a
Tent
of
Tow
,
and
cover
it
with
a
Bolster
of
Tow
dipt
in
that
Ointment
;
continue
so
to
do
till
you
have
got
out
that
Core
,
and
then
see
whether
the
loose
Gristle
in
the
bottom
be
uncovered
,
and
feel
with
your
Finger
or
a
Quill
if
you
be
nigh
it
,
and
if
you
be
,
raise
it
with
a
crooked
Instrument
,
and
pull
it
out
with
a
pair
of
Nippers
,
and
then
tent
it
with
the
said
Ointment
,
and
after
take
Honey
and
Verdegrease
boiled
together
till
it
look
red
,
and
heal
it
therewith
,
laid
upon
Tow.
Take
heed
that
it
heal
not
too
soon
,
or
close
up
too
suddenly
.
Of
the
Hoof-bound
.
This
is
a
shrinking
together
of
the
whole
Coffin
of
the
Hoof
,
whereby
the
Tuel
of
the
Foot
,
which
is
inclosed
in
the
same
,
is
so
pinched
,
that
the
Horse
is
very
lame
therewith
,
and
especially
after
Travel
;
and
if
you
knock
them
they
will
sound
a
little
like
to
an
empty
Bottle
;
and
if
both
Feet
be
not
bound
,
you
shall
apparently
see
the
Hoof
that
is
bound
to
be
less
than
the
other
.
This
proceeds
from
suffereing
the
Feet
to
remain
dry
after
great
Travel
.
This
Distemper
is
also
common
with
a
Fennets
or
Asses
Hoofs
,
for
that
only
wrinkleth
and
waxeth
brittle
,
and
by
reason
of
the
breadth
and
shallowness
of
the
Hoof
it
cannot
inclose
the
Tuel
of
the
Foot
,
to
strengthen
it
;
and
yet
it
is
the
worst
Hoof.
The
Cure
is
,
to
open
the
Feet
in
the
Quarters
very
much
,
so
that
you
may
well
lay
your
Thumb
betwixt
the
Frush
of
the
Foot
and
the
end
of
the
Coffin
where
it
principally
bindeth
;
then
raise
both
the
Quarters
of
the
Hoof
with
a
Drawer
from
the
Cronet
unto
the
Sole
of
the
Foot
,
so
deep
as
you
see
the
Dew
come
out
,
and
also
two
rases
of
each
side
;
then
open
the
Foot
within
,
and
let
him
bleed
in
the
Toes
;
if
it
be
old
,
the
Blood
will
be
as
cold
almost
as
Water
,
f●r
that
it
hath
not
been
fed
with
Blood
,
wherein
the
vital
Spirit
is
;
and
that
is
the
cause
of
the
Coldness
,
whereby
it
i●
apparent
that
the
Hoof
hath
not
prospered
,
but
starved
,
for
you
shall
see
the
Frush
and
all
the
sole
of
the
Foot
shrunk
up
and
starved
;
then
take
away
the
sole
of
the
Foot
,
and
stop
it
with
Nettles
and
Salt
bruised
gently
together
,
not
over
hard
,
renewing
it
once
a
day
for
nine
days
,
and
be
sure
every
day
twice
to
anoint
the
Cronet
of
the
Hoof
;
and
at
the
end
of
the
nine
days
,
be
sure
every
day
twice
throughly
to
anoint
the
Cronet
of
the
Hoof
;
and
after
the
nine
days
end
,
let
his
Feet
be
stopped
with
Bran
and
Hogs-grease
boiled
together
,
bound
too
as
hot
as
may
be
,
but
still
anoint
the
Hoof
;
and
when
you
put
him
to
Grass
,
let
him
not
wear
any
Shooes
,
but
put
him
into
a
Marsh
or
Meadow
,
deep
of
Grass
,
whereby
his
Feet
will
be
always
wet
,
and
so
enlarged
again
.
Some
ignorantly
call
this
Dry-Foundering
,
when
as
all
Foundering
in
that
Foot
proceeds
from
the
descending
of
the
Humours
to
the
Feet
,
and
this
is
clean
contrary
;
and
my
Experience
hath
cured
Horses
that
have
been
Hoof-bound
four
or
five
Years
.
Of
the
Loosning
of
the
Hoof.
Thi●
Grief
,
if
it
be
loose
round
about
the
Hoof
,
then
it
cometh
by
Foundering
;
if
it
be
in
part
,
then
by
some
other
Anguish
:
if
it
come
by
Foundring
,
then
it
will
first
break
into
the
Fore
part
of
the
Cronet
,
against
the
Toe
;
but
if
a
●hanel
Nail
or
Prick
,
then
the
Hoof
will
loosen
equally
round
,
but
if
other
Hurts
,
then
right
about
the
place
that
is
offended
,
which
should
be
well
observed
of
the
Farrier
;
but
what
Cause
soever
it
is
,
be
you
careful
for
to
keep
open
the
h●le
in
the
bottom
of
the
Foot
,
and
restrain
it
above
with
the
restrictive
Plaister
of
Bole-Armony
,
Bean-●●ower
and
F●gs
,
mentioned
in
the
Cure
of
the
Prick
of
the
Foot
.
You
may
take
three
spoonfuls
of
Tar
,
a
quarter
of
a
pound
of
●osen
,
a
handful
of
Tansy
,
a
handful
of
Rue
,
a
handful
of
Mint
,
and
as
much
of
Southernwood
,
beat
them
altogether
with
a
pound
of
Butter
,
and
one
penny-worth
of
Virgin-wax
,
and
so
make
a
Plaister
,
and
bind
it
too
for
seven
days
,
and
it
will
be
whole
.
Of
the
cas●ing
the
Hoof.
The
cure
is
,
Take
of
Turpentine
one
pound
,
of
Tar
half
a
pint
,
of
unwrought
Wax
half
a
pound
,
of
Sallet-Oyl
half
a
pint
;
boil
all
these
together
,
until
they
be
throughly
incorporated
,
then
make
a
Boot
of
Leather
with
a
strong
Sole
,
fit
for
the
Horse's
Foot
,
to
be
buckled
about
the
Pastern
,
then
take
a
good
quantity
of
Flax
or
Tar
,
and
lay
this
Salve
upon
it
for
to
cover
the
Foot
,
so
as
that
the
Boot
may
not
any
way
grieve
the
Horse
,
renewing
it
every
day
until
it
be
whole
;
then
let
him
stand
in
the
Stable
upon
a
Bed
of
Cow-dung
and
Snails
beaten
together
,
which
will
increase
the
same
,
for
fifteen
days
,
and
then
put
him
to
Grass
.
This
Ointment
should
be
in
a
readiness
to
anoint
the
Horses
.
For
Foundring
,
Fretezing
,
or
any
other
Imperfection
of
the
Feet
,
or
Hoofs
of
a
Horse
.
First
pare
thin
,
open
the
Heels
wide
,
and
shoe
large
,
strong
and
hallow
,
then
take
a
good
quantity
of
Cows-dung
,
half
so
much
Grease
or
Kitchinstuff
,
a
like
quantity
of
Tar
,
and
a
like
quantity
of
Soot
;
boyl
all
these
very
well
together
,
and
when
boiling-hot
as
may
be
,
see
you
stop
your
Horses
Feet
therewith
dayly
;
and
it
will
not
only
take
away
all
Anguish
,
but
also
strengthen
the
Hoofs
,
and
make
them
to
endure
any
Labour
.
But
when
you
journey
or
travel
the
Horse
,
(
as
Exercise
availeth
much
for
this
Cure
)
then
put
in
the
aforesaid
Stopping
cold
,
the
first
night
after
his
Labour
,
and
add
unto
it
the
White
of
an
Egg
or
two
,
for
that
will
take
away
from
the
Heat
and
beating
of
the
former
days
Labour
,
and
will
keep
the
Frush
strong
and
dry
.
But
in
time
of
Rest
,
let
it
be
boyling-hot
as
aforesaid
.
Now
if
the
Heat
be
naturally
brittle
,
or
by
Accident
broken
,
or
by
the
former
Infirmity
dryed
up
and
strained
,
then
to
enlarge
it
,
to
make
it
tough
,
and
to
make
it
to
grow
swiftly
,
take
of
Pigs-Grease
,
or
of
Hogs-Grease
,
of
Turpentine
,
and
of
Mastick
,
of
each
a
like
quantity
,
and
half
so
much
Lard
as
of
all
the
rest
,
melt
all
but
the
Turpentine
,
and
being
melted
,
take
it
from
the
Fire
,
and
put
in
the
Turpentine
,
stirring
it
about
till
it
be
well
incorporated
together
;
then
put
it
into
a
Pot
;
and
when
it
is
cold
be
sure
you
cover
it
close
.
With
this
Salve
twice
or
thrice
a
day
anoint
the
Cornets
of
the
Horse's
Hoofs
,
close
by
the
Hair
,
at
the
setting
on
of
the
Hoof
:
it
will
make
it
shoot
fast
,
and
grow
rough
and
large
.
For
Hurts
upon
the
Cornets
of
the
Hoofs
;
as
,
an
Over-reach
,
Stub
,
or
Prick
,
&c
First
take
of
Soap
,
and
of
Salt
,
of
each
a
like
quantity
,
and
●ixt
them
together
like
a
Past
;
then
having
cut
out
the
Over-reach
,
or
Hurt
,
and
laid
it
plain
,
first
wash
it
with
●rine
and
Salt
,
or
Beer
and
Salt
,
and
with
a
Cloth
dry
it
,
●hen
bind
on
the
mixed
Soap
and
Salt
,
renewing
it
once
in
●wenty-four
hours
;
and
thus
do
(
if
the
Wound
be
great
)
for
three
or
four
days
;
then
having
drawn
out
all
the
Venom
▪
as
this
Salt
will
quickly
do
)
take
a
Spoonful
or
two
of
Train-Oyl
,
and
as
much
Ceruse
(
which
we
call
White
Lead
)
and
mix
it
together
to
a
white
Salve
,
then
spread
that
upon
the
Sore
Morning
and
Evening
until
it
be
whole
,
which
will
be
affected
suddenly
:
for
nothing
doth
dry
up
●ooner
,
nor
is
more
kindly
and
natural
for
the
breeding
of
a
●ew
Hoof
than
this
,
as
you
shall
find
by
Experience
.
To
help
the
Surbating
or
Soreness
of
the
Feet
.
When
you
find
your
Horse
to
be
surbated
,
presently
●lap
on
each
of
his
Fore
feet
two
new-laid
Eggs
,
and
crush
●hem
therein
;
then
upon
the
top
of
them
lay
good
Cow-dung
:
thus
stop
them
for
four
hours
,
and
he
will
recover
.
Of
the
Dry
Spavin
.
The
Cure
is
,
to
wash
it
with
warm
Water
,
and
shave
off
the
Hair
so
far
as
the
Swelling
is
,
then
scarifie
the
place
,
that
it
bleed
,
and
take
of
Cantharides
a
dozen
,
and
of
Eufirbium
half
a
spoonful
,
break
them
into
a
Powder
,
and
boyl
them
together
,
with
a
little
Oyl
of
Bay
;
and
being
boyling-hot
,
with
Feathers
anoint
the
Sore
and
tye
his
Tail
for
wipeing
it
,
and
within
an
hour
after
set
him
in
the
Stable
,
and
tye
him
so
that
he
lye
not
down
that
Night
(
for
the
rubbing
of
the
Medicine
)
and
within
a
day
after
,
anoint
it
with
butter
,
for
six
days
,
then
draw
the
●ore
place
with
an
hot
Iron
;
take
a
sharp
one
like
a
bodkin
,
somewhat
bowing
at
the
Point
,
and
so
upward
be●wixt
the
Skin
and
the
Flesh
,
and
thrust
it
in
at
the
nether
end
of
the
middle
Line
an
inch
and
a
half
,
then
anoint
it
with
Turpentine
and
Hogs-Grease
molten
together
,
and
mad●
warm
,
renewing
it
every
day
once
,
for
the
space
of
nin●
days
:
but
remember
,
that
after
this
burning
,
you
take
u●
the
Master
Vein
,
which
must
be
done
in
this
manner
:
Ca●●
the
Horse
upon
some
Straw
,
then
having
found
the

.
Cut
the
Skin
over
the
Veins
,
as
aforesaid
,
and
slit
the
Vein
and
cut
it
as
aforesaid
,
then
where
the

,
with

Chissel
of
the

strike
off
the
quantity
of

days

,
a

Plaister
;
then
draw
it
with

Iron

,
and
also
a
Change

as
is

Of
the
wet
or
blood
Spavin
.
This
Disease
also
is
commonly
known
,
and
some
call
it
the
●horough
Spavin
,
it
is
fed
by
a
thin
flexible
Humour
,
by
the
●laster
Vein
.
The
cure
is
,
to
shave
off
the
Hair
,
and
to
take
●p
the
Vein
in
every
part
,
as
I
shall
describe
in
the
Cure
of
●he
Bone
Spavin
,
and
then
cut
the
Vein
asunder
,
and
draw
it
with
a
hot
Iron
,
charge
it
and
put
on
the
Flocks
,
and
it
will
perfectly
heal
and
cure
it
,
for
I
have
proved
it
certain
.

by
Stripe

go
sideling

The
Cure
is
speedily
to
take
of
Oyl
de
Bay
,
of
Dialthea
,
of
Nerval
,
of
Swines-grease
,
of
each
half
a
pound
,
melt
them
together
,
stirring
them
continually
until
they
be
throughly
mingled
together
,
and
anoint
the
sore
place
against
the
Hair
with
this
Ointment
every
day
once
a
day
for
fifteen
days
together
,
and
make
the
Ointment
to
Sink
well
into
the
Flesh
,
by
holding
a
broad
bar
of
Iron
over
the
place
anointed
,
to
make
it
enter
into
the
Skin
;
and
if
at
the
end
of
those
days
it
doth
not
mend
,
then
slit
a
Hole
downward
into
the
Skin
,
and
inch
beneath
the
Hip-bone
,
make
the
hole
so
wide
that
you
may
easily
thrust
in
a
Rowel
with
your
Finger
,
and
then
with
a
little
broad
slice
of
Iron
,
loosen
the
Skin
from
the
Flesh
above
the
Bone
,
and
round
about
the
same
,
so
broad
as
the
Rowel
may
lye
flat
and
plain
betwixt
the
Skin
and
the
Flesh
;
which
Rowel
should
be
of
soft
Calves
Leather
,
with
a
Hole
in
the
midst
,
like
a
Ring
,
having
a
Thread
ty'd
to
it
,
to
pull
out
when
you
would
cleanse
the
Hole
:
and
if
the
Rowel
be
rowelled
about
with
Flocks
fast
ty'd
on
and
anointed
with
the
Ointment
of
Hogs-grease
and
Turpentine
boiled
together
,
it
will
draw
so
much
the
more
.
That
done
,
tent
it
with
a
long
Tent
of
Flax
,
dipt
in
Turpentine
and
Hogs-grease
made
warm
,
and
so
renew
it
every
day
for
fifteen
days
;
and
before
that
you
dress
him
,
let
him
be
walk'd
every
day
a
quarter
of
an
hour
,
and
as
it
healeth
,
make
the
Tent
every
day
less
than
the
other
;
and
as
soon
as
he
is
whole
,
draw
a
hot
Iron
cross
his
Loins
of
eight
or
nine
inches
long
,
right
over
against
the
Hip-bone
,
so
as
the
rowelled
place
may
be
in
the
midst
thereof
,
and
burn
him
no
deeper
,
but
so
as
the
Skin
may
look
yellow
;
then
charge
all
the
Skin
over
all
the
Buttocks
with
this
Charge
:
Take
of
Pitch
one
pound
,
of
Rosin
one
pound
,
of
Tar
half
a
pint
,
boil
them
together
,
and
being
well
warmed
,
spread
it
with
a
Clout
ty'd
to
a
Stick
,
clap
as
many
Flocks
on
the
Horse
as
will
stick
,
that
he
may
travel
the
more
at
his
own
Will.
Of
Stifling
,
and
Hurts
in
the
Stifler
This
is
when
the
Stifling-bone
is
removed
from
its
right
place
;
but
if
it
be
not
removed
,
then
the
Horse
is
hurt
,
and
not
stifled
.
The
Cure
is
in
all
Points
like
to
the
Shoulder-Pight
,
saving
that
the
Pins
need
not
to
be
so
long
because
the
Stifling-place
is
not
so
broad
;
and
standing
in
the
Stable
,
let
him
have
a
Pastern
with
a
Ring
upon
his
Fore-leg
,
and
thereunto
fasten
a
Cord
,
which
Cord
must
go
about
his
Neck
,
and
let
it
be
so
much
strained
as
may
bring
his
Fore-leg
forward
;
then
the
other
to
keep
the
Bone
from
starting
out
:
but
if
it
be
but
a
Hurt
with
some
Stripe
or
Strain
,
then
the
bone
will
not
stand
out
,
but
perhaps
the
place
may
be
swoln
,
then
anoint
it
with
the
Ointment
last
mentioned
in
the
Receipt
going
before
,
every
day
for
fifteen
days
;
then
rowel
him
with
a
heme
Rowel
,
and
cleanse
the
Hole
every
day
,
by
running
the
Rowel
anointed
with
the
said
Ointment
.
Of
Wounds
.
The
Cure
is
,
Take
of
Turpentine
,
of
Mel
Rosarum
,
of
Oil
of
Roses
,
of
each
a
Quartern
,
and
a
little
Unwrought
Wax
,
and
melt
them
together
,
stirring
them
together
continually
;
and
so
use
the
Tent
or
Roll
,
as
occasion
shall
serve
.
A
Receipt
for
any
extraordinary
Cold
or
Cough
,
or
Pursiness
in
a
Horse
,
which
the
weak
Farrier
calls
Broken-Winded
.
I
will
here
set
you
down
the
Secrets
of
my
Knowledge
,
in
some
ready
,
easy
,
approved
Receipts
,
which
I
never
●ound
to
fail
.
When
you
find
your
Horse
taken
with
any
extream
Cold
,
or
dry
Cough
or
Pursiness
(
which
ignorant
Farriers
call
Broken-winded
)
you
shall
take
three
quarters
of
an
ounce
of
the
Conserve
of
Elecampane
,
and
dissolve
it
in
a
pint
and
a
half
of
the
best
Sack
,
and
so
give
it
to
the
Horse
with
a
Horn
,
in
the
Morning
fasting
,
and
ride
him
a
little
after
it
;
and
this
you
may
do
divers
Mornings
together
until
you
perceive
the
Infirmity
decrease
and
wast
away
.
The
Simple
Conserve
of
Elecampane
is
of
excellent
use
;
it
taketh
away
any
ordinary
Cold
,
or
Stopping
,
it
●omforteth
the
Lungs
,
enlargeth
the
Wind
,
purgeth
the
Head
of
all
filthy
Matter
,
and
dissolveth
many
other
Obstructions
,
yet
is
not
the
best
Conserve
,
nor
worketh
the
best
Effect
,
if
the
Infirmity
be
old
and
dangerous
,
or
if
●here
be
any
Attainture
in
the
Lungs
or
Liver
,
therefore
in
that
Case
you
shall
fly
to
the
compound
Conserve
,
which
is
made
in
this
manner
:
Take
the
best
candy
Roots
of
Elecampane
that
can
be
procured
,
and
beat
them
in
a
Mortar
with
the
Syrup
of
Coltsfoot
till
it
be
brought
to
a
very
thin
Substance
,
then
with
the
finest
refined
Sugar
thicken
it
,
till
it
be
reduced
to
the
true
Body
of
a
Conserve
;
then
keep
it
close
in
a
Galley-pot
,
and
use
it
with
Sack
.
I
have
known
by
the
daily
Use
of
this
Conserve
,
divers
dry
(
and
supposed
incurable
)
Coughs
that
have
been
taken
away
,
together
with
the
Heaving
of
the
Body
,
and
the
Wind
so
enlarged
,
that
albeit
the
Motion
was
before
swift
,
like
the
broken-winded
,
yet
it
hath
come
to
a
moderate
and
slow
Temper
,
and
the
dry
Cough
which
did
accompany
it
hath
been
quite
gone
.
Now
if
you
find
any
Difficulty
in
making
or
proving
of
these
Medicines
before
shewed
,
or
that
the
Infirmity
not
being
great
or
dangerous
,
you
may
possibly
think
a
Medicine
of
less
force
,
and
easier
to
compass
would
accomplish
it
;
then
you
shall
take
of
the
Syrup
of
Coltssoot
an
ounce
,
of
the
fine
Powder
of
Elecampane
,
of
Anniseeds
,
and
of
Liquorice
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
,
of
brown
Sugarcandy
an
ounce
,
divided
into
two
parts
,
then
with
as
much
Sweet
Butter
as
will
suffice
,
work
all
the
former
Powders
,
and
one
part
or
a
half
of
the
Sugarcandy
,
and
all
the
Syrop
into
a
stiff
Past
,
then
divide
into
two
or
three
Balls
,
and
roll
them
into
a
round
form
,
or
of
the
Fashion
of
an
Egg
,
and
after
roll
them
all
over
in
the
other
half
o●
part
of
the
Sugarcandy
,
and
then
give
the
whole
quantity
at
one
time
to
the
Horse
in
the
manner
of
a
Pill
,
and
give
them
in
the
Morning
fasting
;
then
ride
the
Horse
half
an
hour
after
the
giving
,
and
let
him
fast
two
hours
at
the
least
after
he
cometh
in
,
and
let
him
be
warm
cloathed
,
and
stopped
,
and
his
Limbs
well
rubbed
,
especially
his
Head
;
let
him
by
no
means
drink
any
cold
Water
,
but
so
as
that
he
may
have
Exercise
after
,
and
let
his
Exercise
be
moderate
,
and
not
violent
;
let
his
Hay
be
a
little
sprinkled
with
Water
,
and
his
Cats
with
Beer
and
Ale
;
as
for
the
Bread
,
't
is
of
it self
moist
enough
;
and
let
all
his
Meat
be
generally
well
dusted
,
●i●ted
,
or
chipped
,
for
nothing
is
more
offensive
to
a
Horse
than
Foulness
and
Driness
,
nor
more
comfortable
than
Cleanness
,
provided
that
your
Corn
be
not
green
and
unsweet
in
the
Mow
or
Reek
,
nor
your
Hay
rank
or
rotten
.
Thus
you
shall
do
several
Mornings
till
you
find
Amendment
,
neither
shall
you
spare
any
Travel
or
Occasion
,
but
,
having
Medicine
about
you
,
use
it
in
your
Journeying
,
for
this
doth
not
take
away
any
thing
to
weaken
Nature
,
but
adds
to
the
Force
thereof
.
For
any
dangerous
Bots
or
Maw-worms
.
Take
as
much
Precipitate
(
which
is
Mercury
calcined
)
as
will
gently
lye
upon
a
Silver
Two-pence
,
and
lay
it
on
a
piece
of
Sweet-Butter
almost
as
big
as
a
Hens
Egg
,
in
the
manner
of
a
Pill
;
and
then
in
the
Morning
Fasting
,
the
Horse
having
stood
on
the
Mussel
or
empty
Rack
,
if
it
be
possible
,
or
otherwise
(
if
the
Extremity
of
the
Disease
compel
you
)
at
any
other
time
,
draw
forth
the
Horse's
Tongue
,
and
make
him
to
swallow
the
Pill
,
then
chafe
him
a
little
up
and
down
,
and
after
set
him
up
warm
,
making
him
fast
full
two
hours
after
,
and
it
will
kill
all
manner
of
Worms
whatsoever
;
yet
in
the
Administration
hereof
,
you
must
be
wondrous
circumspect
and
careful
,
for
in
the
Precipitate
there
is
a
strong
poysonous
Quality
,
so
that
by
no
means
there
must
be
taken
more
than
is
prescribed
,
except
with
good
Caution
.
Again
,
If
you
mix
the
Precipitate
with
a
little
Sweet-Butter
,
as
much
as
a
Hasel-Nut
,
before
you
lap
it
up
in
the
great
Lump
of
Butter
,
it
will
be
the
better
,
and
allay
much
of
the
evil
quality
.
But
this
I
leave
to
your
own
Discretion
,
assuring
you
,
that
there
is
not
any
thing
comparable
to
this
for
this
Infirmity
.
To
heal
or
dry
up
any
old
Ulcer
or
Cancerus
Sore
.
Take
Mastick
,
Frankincense
,
Cloves
,

Coperas

and
Brimstone
,
of
each
a
little
quantity
,
of
Myrrhe
double
as
much
as
of
any
one
of
the
other
;
beat
all
to
a
fine
Powder
,
then
burn
it
on
a
chafing-dish
of
Coals
,
but
let
it
not
flame
;
then
as
the
Smoak
ariseth
,
take
a
handful
of
fine
Lint
,
or
Tow
,
and
hold
it
over
the
Smoak
,
so
that
it
may
receive
all
the
Perfume
thereof
into
it
;
then
when
it
is
well
perfumed
,
put
the
Lint
into
a
close
Box
,
and
so
keep
it
:
When
you
have
occasion
to
use
it
,
first
wash
the
Sore
with
Urine
,
then
dry
it
,
and
lastly
,
lay
on
some
of
this
Lint
,
or
Tow
;
and
thus
do
twice
a
day
,
and
it
is
a
speedy
Cure
.
And
as
this
is
sovereign
for
any
Horse
,
so
it
is
sovereign
for
any
Man
also
.
For
any
Sore
Eyes
in
Horses
.
Take
the
Shells
of
seven
or
eight
Eggs
,
and
cleanse
away
from
them
the
Slime
,
then
put
those
Shells
between
two
clean
Tiles
,
and
so
lay
them
in
hot
glowing
Embers
,
and
cover
them
all
over
,
and
on
every
side
,
and
so
let
them
lie
a
good
space
,
till
that
the
Shells
be
all
dried
,
then
take
them
up
,
and
beat
the
Shells
to
a
very
fine
fearst
Powder
,
then
with
a
Goose's
Quill
blow
this
Powder
into
the
Horse's
Eye
that
is
offended
with
Pin
and
Web
,
Film
,
or
any
other
of
those
Distempers
,
and
it
is
a
certain
Cure
;
and
thus
do
Morning
,
Evening
,
and
at
Night
.
But
if
it
be
a
watery
or
inflamed
Eye
,
for
any
Bruise
,
Stripe
,
or
descending
Humour
,
then
take
a
spoonfull
and
a
half
of
fine
fearst
Powder
of
White
Sugar-candy
,
and
being
mixt
together
with
as
much
May-Butter
,
(
if
you
can
get
it
,
or
for
want
thereof
,
the
best
Sweet-Butter
)
work
both
these
Powders
into
a
gentle
Salve
,
and
therewith
anoint
the
Horse's
Eye
Morning
,
Noon
,
and
Night
,
for
it
cleanseth
,
purgeth
,
comforteth
,
and
cooleth
.
For
an
old
Strain
or
Lameness
in
the
Joints
sinewy
.
Take
Boars-Grease
,
Belearmoniack
,
Black-Soap
,
and
Nerve-Oil
,
of
each
a
like
quantity
,
boil
them
altogether
,
and
then
apply
it
hot
to
the
Grief
,
rubbing
and
chafing
it
in
exceedingly
,
and
also
heating
it
very
well
,
either
with
a
hot
Brickbat
or
hot
Fire-shovel
:
thus
do
once
a
day
until
the
Pain
be
gone
.
Of
a
Back-Sinew
Strain
,
or
any
other
Strain
.
Take
an
ounce
of
Turpentine
,
and
two
or
three
spoonfuls
of
Aqua
vitae
,
and
beat
them
together
in
a
Bladder
,
or
other
vessel
,
until
they
come
to
a
perfect
Salve
;
then
anoint
the
Strain
very
well
therewith
,
and
heat
it
in
,
either
wi●h
a
hot
Brick
,
or
else
a
Bar
of
Iron
;
and
thus
doing
three
or
four
times
,
it
will
take
away
the
Strain
.
For
any
desperate
Strain
in
the
Shoulder
,
or
other
hidden
Parts
,
or
any
Fistula
,
Pole-Evil
,
or
other
Impostumation
and
Swelling
.
Take
a
large
Earthen
Vessel
of
a
Gallon
,
and
almost
fill
it
with
the
Herb
Arsmart
and
Brooklime
equal
in
quantity
,
and
equally
mixt
;
then
put
to
them
as
much
of
the
oldest
and
strongest
Urine
that
can
be
got
,
as
will
cover
the
Herbs
all
over
,
and
fill
the
Vessel
full
;
then
cover
the
pot
close
with
a
Stone
,
Board
,
or
such
like
thing
,
and
so
let
it
stand
,
for
this
can
never
be
too
old
.
Now
when
you
have
occasion
to
use
it
for
any
Grief
aforesaid
,
you
shall
take
an
Earthen
Pipkin
,
and
put
thereinto
both
of
the
Urine
and
of
the
Herbs
,
so
much
as
shall
be
convenient
for
the
Grief
,
and
you
shall
boil
it
well
upon
the
Fire
:
Then
if
it
be
for
a
Shoulder-Strain
,
you
shall
take
an
old
Boot
,
and
cut
off
the
Foot
,
so
that
you
may
draw
it
over
the
Horse's
Foot
,
and
about
his
Knee
,
almost
to
the
Elbow
of
his
Shoulder
,
keeping
the
nether
part
of
the
Boot
as
close
and
as
strait
about
his
Leg
as
may
be
,
but
the
upper
part
(
which
covereth
all
the
Shoulders
)
must
be
wide
and
spacious
;
into
this
Boot
thrust
all
your
Mixture
as
hot
as
the
Horse
can
suffer
it
,
and
lay
it
fast
and
close
about
the
Shoulders
,
especially
before
and
behind
;
then
driving
up
the
upper
part
of
the
Boot
,
so
fusten
it
to
the
Main
of
the
Horse
,
that
it
may
be
no
means
slip
down
,
but
keep
constant
and
firm
:
and
thus
you
must
do
once
or
twice
a
day
,
till
the
Grief
be
gone
.
As
for
the
Effect
thereof
you
shall
find
it
,
for
this
is
the
most
violent
of
all
Medicines
;
so
that
if
there
be
any
soul
Matter
that
must
come
forth
,
this
will
in
an
instant
bring
it
to
a
Head
,
ripen
,
break
it
,
and
heal
it
;
if
there
be
no
such
things
,
then
in
as
short
a
time
it
will
drive
away
the
offending
Humours
,
take
away
the
Swelling
and
give
present
Ease
.
Yet
would
I
have
you
to
use
this
but
in
Extremity
,
because
for
the
time
the
Torment
is
almost
insufferable
,
and
indeed
not
to
be
endured
but
only
by
Horses
.
Now
if
it
be
a
Fistula
,
or
any
such
like
Impostumation
or
Swelling
,
then
you
may
spare
the
Boot
,
and
only
lay
on
the
Medicine
in
the
manner
of
a
Poultis
,
and
it
will
be
as
sufficient
.
Of
a
False
Quarter
.
This
is
a
Rift
most
commonly
on
the
inside
of
the
Hoof
;
it
cometh
by
the
evil
paring
of
the
Hoof
;
the
Horse
will
halt
,
and
the
Rift
will
bleed
.
The
Cure
is
,
Cut
so
much
away
on
the
side
of
the
Shooe
where
the
Grief
is
,
so
as
that
the
Rift
may
be
uncovered
,
then
open
the
Rift
with
a
Drawer
,
and
fill
it
with
a
Roll
of
Toe
,
dipt
in
Turpentine
,
Wax
,
and
Sheeps-Suet
molten
together
,
renewing
it
every
day
till
it
be
whole
.
When
the
Rift
is
closed
,
draw
him
betwixt
the
Hair
and
the
Hoof
with
a
hot
Iron
overthwart
the
Place
,
whereby
the
Hoof
will
shoot
all
downward
,
and
ride
him
with
another
Shooe
till
he
be
throughly
whole
.
For
an
Over-reach
on
the
Heel
.
Take
the
White
of
an
Egg
,
and
Bole-Armony
,
mingled
together
with
a
little
Flax
,
and
renew
it
for
four
or
five
days
.
For
an
upper
Taint
or
an
Over-reach
upon
the
Back
,
Sinews
of
the
Shank
,
somewhat
above
the
Joint
.
This
is
a
swelling
of
the
Master-Sinew
,
which
proceeds
from
this
,
that
the
Horse
doth
over-reach
,
and
strike
that
Sinew
with
the
Toe
of
his
Hinder-Foot
,
which
causes
the
place
to
swell
,
and
the
Horse
to
halt
.
The
Cure
is
,
To
wash
the
place
with
warm
Water
,
and
to
shave
off
the
Hair
as
far
as
the
Swelling
goes
,
and
to
scarifie
every
place
of
the
Sore
lightly
with
a
Razor
,
that
the
Blood
may
issue
●orth
;
then
take
of
Cantharides
and
Euforbium
half
an
ounce
,
mingle
them
together
with
half
a
quartern
of
Soap
,
and
with
a
Slice
spread
some
of
the
Ointment
over
all
the
Sore
,
and
let
him
rest
for
an
hour
after
;
let
him
stand
without
Litter
,
and
the
next
day
dress
him
so
again
;
the
third
day
anoint
the
Sore
with
Butter
,
and
continue
so
to
●●
for
nine
days
after
;
then
take
three
handsuls
of
Mallows
,
〈◊〉
of
Sage
,
and
a
Rose-cake
,
and
boil
them
in
Water
,
and
when
they
are
soft
,
put
a
pound
of
Butter
,
and
half
a
pint
of
Sallet-Oil
,
to
the
Water
;
and
being
warm
,
wash
the
place
four
or
five
times
together
therewith
.
Of
the
Nether
Joint
.
This
is
a
Bladder
full
of
Jelly
,
like
to
a
Wind-gall
,
not
apparent
but
by
feeling
,
growing
in
the
midst
of
the
Pastern
,
above
the
Frush
.
It
proceeds
from
some
Strain
,
Wrench
,
or
Over-reach
;
the
Nether-Joint
towards
the
Fetterlock
will
be
hot
,
and
somewhat
swoln
.
The
Cure
is
,
Tye
him
about
the
Joint
with
a
List
somewhat
hard
,
and
it
will
cause
the
Bladder
to
appear
to
the
Eye
,
then
lance
it
,
and
thrust
out
the
Jelly
;
then
take
the
White
of
an
Egg
and
Salt
beaten
together
with
a
little
Tow
,
and
bind
it
unto
it
,
renewing
it
once
a
day
for
five
or
six
days
.
Of
the
Serew
,
or
Serow
.
This
is
like
a
Splint
in
manner
of
a
Gristle
,
as
great
as
an
Almond
;
it
groweth
on
the
Foreleg
.
The
Cure
is
,
Take
an
Onion
and
pick
out
the
Core
,
and
put
therein
a
spoonful
of
Honey
,
a
quarter
of
a
pound
of
unslack'd
Lime
,
three
penny-worth
of
Verdegrease
,
and
rost
the
Onion
,
and
bruise
it
,
and
lay
it
hot
,
having
first
cut
the
Skin
.
All
these
Infirmities
are
cured
by
this
Medicine
following
:
Fevers
in
general
,
the
Pestilence
,
the
Falling-Evil
,
the
Pa●s●e
or
Shaking-Evil
,
the
Night-Mare
,
the
Hide-bound
,
all
Consumptions
,
the
Breast-grief
,
all
Tiredness
,
the
Loathing
of
Meat
,
casting
out
of
drink
,
all
Sursits
,
the
Hungry-Evil
,
the
sick
Liver
,
sick
Gall
,
sick
Spleen
,
sick
Kidneys
,
the
Yellows
,
the
Dropsie
,
Costiveness
in
the
Body
,
the
Bo●s
,
all
Worms
,
Pissing
Blood
,
mattering
of
the
Yard
,
shedding
of
the
seed
,
Falling
of
the
Yard
,
Earing
of
Hens-dung
,
the
falling
of
the
Crest
.
If
the
Horse
has
been
brought
weak
by
Sickness
,
and
that
you
find
it
proceedeth
from
some
inward
Infection
,
or
Corruption
of
Blood
,
you
shall
give
him
in
the
Morning
,
fasting
,
two
spoonfuls
of
the
Powder
of
Diapente
,
well
brewed
with
four
spoonfuls
of
Honey
,
tost
to
and
fro
in
a
pint
of
White-wine
,
or
Muscadine
,
and
Malmesey
,
and
ride
him
afterwards
an
hour
in
the
Su●
;
then
set
him
up
warm
in
the
Stable
,
and
let
him
fast
an
hour
;
give
him
such
●rovender
he
will
eat
,
and
his
Hay
sprinkled
with
a
little
Water
.
But
if
his
Sickness
proceed
from
any
cold
Cause
,
or
from
any
riding
and
too
sudden
cooling
,
or
from
washing
when
he
was
hot
,
or
such
like
;
then
you
shall
give
the
same
quantity
of
Diapente
and
Honey
in
Sack
,
or
other
hot
Wine
in
the
manner
aforesaid
:
But
if
his
Sickness
be
less
contagious
,
or
that
Wine
is
not
ready
to
be
had
,
then
you
shall
give
the
same
quantity
of
the
Powder
and
Honey
,
either
in
a
quart
of
strong
Ale
,
or
a
quart
of
strong
Beer
,
observing
all
the
Instructions
formerly
declared
.
Now
for
as
much
as
this
Powder
of
Diapente
may
be
be
many
times
wanting
,
or
at
least
hard
to
be
got
on
the
sudden
,
as
we
have
formerly
said
,
therefore
in
case
of
such
Extremity
you
shall
take
a
good
handful
of
Celandine
Roots
,
Leafs
and
all
,
and
having
pick'd
and
cleansed
them
,
you
shall
take
of
Wormwood
and
Rue
,
of
each
half
a
handful
,
boil
these
in
a
pot
of
strong
Ale
or
Beer
till
the
full
half
be
consumed
,
then
strain
it
,
and
dress
the
Herbs
,
and
dissolve
into
the
drink
,
half
a
pound
of
Sweet
Butter
,
and
an
ounce
and
a
half
of
the
best
Treacle
;
being
no
more
but
lukewarm
,
give
it
the
Horse
to
drink
in
the
Morning
fasting
,
and
walk
him
an
hour
after
,
then
set
him
up
warm
,
and
let
him
fast
another
hour
;
then
give
him
meats
as
aforesaid
:
And
do
this
divers
Mornings
,
according
to
the
greatness
of
his
Sickness
.
Now
for
this
Cure
you
must
by
no
means
forget
to
let
the
Horse
blood
in
the
Neck-Vein
,
an
hour
or
two
before
you
give
him
the
first
drink
,
and
let
him
bleed
till
you
see
the
corrupt
Blood
change
,
and
begin
to
look
pure
;
to
know
which
,
you
shall
save
the
first
Blood
and
the
last
Blood
in
two
Sawcers
,
and
as
they
cool
they
will
easily
shew
you
the
difference
.
Now
if
your
Horse
happen
to
fall
suddenly
Sick
upon
you
as
you
travel
,
when
there
is
no
Town
nor
Help
near
you
,
then
you
shall
presently
alight
from
his
Back
,
and
with
a
sharp
pointed
Knife
,
or
Bodkin
,
or
for
want
of
both
,
with
a
sharp-pointed
strong
Tag
,
you
shall
let
him
Blood
in
the
Roo●
of
the
Mouth
,
amongst
the
Bars
,
somewhat
near
to
his
uppermost
Teeth
,
and
make
him
bleed
well
,
walking
him
forward
,
and
suffering
him
to
champ
and
eat
his
own
Blood
;
which
is
very
wholsome
for
him
at
that
time
,
and
almost
a
present
cure
.
Now
if
the
Blood
stanch
of
it self
,
(
as
commonly
it
will
)
then
you
shall
presently
piss
in
his
Mouth
,
and
so
ride
him
with
all
Gentleness
and
Ease
homeward
;
and
being
set
up
warm
,
wash
his
Mouth
and
Nostrils
with
Vinegar
,
and
the
next
Morning
let
him
Blood
in
the
Neck-Vein
,
and
give
him
either
of
the
Drenches
before
prescribed
,
and
no
doubt
but
you
may
hold
on
your
Journey
without
danger
.
Now
if
in
the
pricking
of
the
Mouth
,
you
either
stick
your
knife
too
deep
,
or
else
cut
the
Vein
asunder
,
whereby
you
cannot
stanch
the
Blood
(
as
many
times
it
happeneth
)
in
this
case
you
shall
put
some
big
round
piece
of
Wood
into
the
Horse's
Mouth
(
to
keep
him
from
biting
,
)
and
then
take
a
little
of
the
fine
Down
of
a
Hare's
Skin
or
Cony-Skin
,
or
(
for
want
of
them
)
the
fine
Lint
of
any
Woollen
or
Linnen
cioth
,
and
hold
it
hard
to
the
Wound
;
and
it
will
stanch
it
,
such
care
being
taken
,
as
that
it
be
not
to
be
lick'd
away
with
the
Horse's
Tongue
.
For
the
Malender
.
This
is
a
Scab
growing
in
the
form
of
Lines
or
Streaks
over
the
Bend
of
the
Knee
,
in
the
inside
of
the
Leg.
The
cure
is
,
wash
it
with
warm
Water
,
and
shave
the
Scab
clean

This
Soreness
is
known
to

Men
:
The
Cure
is
,
Wash
it
with

Water
,
and
shave
off
the
Hair
,
and
lightly
scarify
all
the

place
with
a
point
of
a
Razor
,
so
as
that
the
Blood
may
issue
forth
;

Cantharides
half
a
spoonful
,
and

For
Foundring
.
Before
I
enter
to
express
the
Cure
,
I
would
have
you
diligently
to
note
the
cause
of
this
Disease
.
The
Causes
of
Foundring
are
either
from
superfluous
and
over-much
Eating
and
Drinking
,
or
from
immoderate
and
extreme
Labour
,
or
abundance
and
fulness
of
Humours
.
The
undoubted
and
infallible
Cure
is
,
Garter
each
Leg
immediately
one
handful
above
the
Knee
,
(
and
with
a
List
good
and
hard
)
then
walk
him
,
chafe
him
into
a
Heat
,
and
being
somewhat
warm
,
let
him
Blood
in
both
the
Breast-Veins
,
2
or
3
Quarts
,
and
reserve
the
same
,
continually
stirring
it
with
your
hands
together
,
to
gather
out
the
clods
thereof
:
then
ta●e
thereof
two
quarts
,
of
Wheat-flower
half
a
peck
,
six
Eggs
,
Shells
and
all
,
and
of
Bole
Armony
half
a
pound
,
of
Sanguis
Dragonis
half
a
quartein
,
and
a
quart
of
strong
Vinegar
,
mingle
them
altogether
,
and
charge
all
his
Shoulders
,
Breast
,
Back
,
Loyns
,
and
Fore-legs
,
therewith
,
and
walk
him
upon
some
hard
Ground
,
suffering
him
not
to
stand
still
;
and
when
that
the
Charge
is
dry
,
refresh
it
again
;
and
having
walked
him
three
or
four
hours
together
,
lead
him
into
the
Stable
,
give
him
a
little
Mash
of
Malt
,
and
some
Hay
and
provender
,
and
then
walk
him
again
,
for
four
or
five
days
,
renewing
the
Charge
upon
him
as
it
dryeth
,
so
long
as
it
lasteth
,
and
keep
it
warm
,
with
a
thin
Dyet
:
but
if
you
see
the
Horse
to
be
afraid
to
set
his
Hinder-feet
to
the
Ground
,
and
to
be
so
weak
behind
,
as
to
stand
quivering
and
shaking
,
and
coveting
to
lie
down
,
Garter
him
also
about
the
Hoofs
,
on
the
Hinder-legs
,
and
let
him
Blood
also
in
the
Thigh-Veins
,
to
the
quantity
of
a
Pottle
,
and
so
double
your
Charge
in
quantity
,
and
therewith
charge
both
Hinder-legs
,
Reins
and
Flanks
,
and
all
against
the
Hair
;
and
if
you
find
him
feeble
,
by
drawing
so
great
a
quantity
of
Blood
,
give
him
a
quart
of
Malmsey
,
and
a
little
Cinnamon
,
Mace
,
and
Pepper
,
finely
beaten
into
a
Powder
,
made
lukewarm
,
and
let
him
be
walk'd
and
chafed
up
and
down
,
if
he
be
able
to
go
;
but
if
he
be
not
able
,
than
tie
him
to
the
Rack
,
and
let
him
be
hanged
with
Canvis
or
Ropes
so
as
he
may
stand
upon
the
Ground
on
his
Feet
,
and
not
suffered
to
lie
down
;
then
pare
all
his
Feet
so
thin
,
that
the
dew
come
forth
,
and
tack
on
the
Shooes
again
,
Stopping
the
Feet
with
Bran
and
Hogs-grease
boiled
together
,
as
hot
as
he
can
endure
it
,
and
wrap
them
in
Cloaths
even
to
the
Pasterns
,
tying
the
Clouts
fast
.
Let
his
Diet
be
thin
,
and
give
him
no
cold
Water
,
and
so
soon
as
he
is
able
,
let
him
almost
be
continually
walked
,
unless
he
be
so
long
gone
that
his
Hoofs
begin
to
loose
,
●●
that
it
break
forth
at
the
Cronets
of
the
Hoofs
;
then
take
two
Eggs
;
as
much
Bole
Armony
and
Bean-flower
as
will
th●●●en
the
same
,
and
mingle
them
well
together
,
and
make
thereof
a
plaister
,
such
as
may
close
each
●oot
round
about
,
somewhat
above
the
Cronet
,
and
bind
the
same
fast
that
it
fall
not
away
,
or
be
removed
for
two
days
tog●ther
;
let
the
Soles
of
his
Feet
be
cleansed
and
stopt
every
day
once
,
and
the
Cronets
but
every
two
days
,
and
not
walk'd
for
loosing
his
Hoofs
:
but
when
he
amendeth
,
walk
hi●
upon
some
soft
Ground
fair
and
softly
;
but
if
it
break
out
above
the
Hoof
,
then
take
all
the
fore-parts
of
the
Sole
clean
away
,
leaving
the
Heels
whole
,
then
stop
him
,
and
also
dress
him
about
the
Cronet
,
as
aforesaid
;
if
this
Grief
(
tho
it
be
very
dangerous
)
be
espied
in
time
,
it
may
be
cured
.
For
the
Shoulderpight
.
This
is
when
the
pitch
or
point
of
the
Shoulder
is
displaced
;
which
if
it
be
,
the
point
will
stick
out
farther
than
his
Fellow
,
and
the
Horse
will
halt
downright
.
The
Cure
is
,
To
make
him
for
to
swim
in
a
deep
Water
eleven
or
twelve
turns
,
to
try
if
he
be
able
to
make
the
Joint
to
return
to
his
right
place
,
then
make
two
tough
Pins
o●
Ash-Wood
,
of
the
bigness
of
your
Little-singer
,
sharp
,
and
thrust
in
one
of
the
Pins
from
above
downward
,
so
as
both
the
Ends
may
equally
stick
without
the
Skin
;
and
if
the
Pin
of
Wood
will
not
easily
pass
through
,
make
it
way
with
an
Iron
pin
,
then
make
two
Holes
cross
to
the
first
Holes
,
so
as
the
pin
may
cross
the
first
pin
right
in
the
midst
,
with
a
right
Cross
;
the
first
pin
should
●e
somewhat
flat
in
the
midst
,
to
the
intent
the
other
being
round
might
pass
the
better
without
stop
,
and
close
the
Inster
together
;
then
take
a
piece
of
a
Line
,
somewhat
bigger
than
a
Whipcord
,
and
at
one
end
make
a
Loop
,
which
being
put
over
one
of
the
pins
ends
,
so
as
it
may
lie
between
the
pins
ends
and
the
Skin
,
fasten
the
least
end
with
a
Pack-Needle
and
Thread
unto
the
end
of
the
Cord
,
so
as
it
may
not
slip
;
but
first
anoint
both
the
pricks
and
Cord
with
Hogs-grease
,
then
bring
him
into
the
Stable
,
and
let
him
rest
the
space
of
nine
days
,
but
let
him
lie
down
as
little
as
you
can
,
and
put
a
Pastern
on
the
Fore-leg
,
so
that
it
may
be
bound
with
a
Cord
unto
the
Foot
of
the
Manger
,
to
keep
the
Leg
in
the
Stable
more
forward
always
than
the
other
:
and
at
nine
days
end
pull
out
the
pricks
,
and
anoint
the
places
with
Diathea
,
or
Hogs-grease
,
and
turn
him
to
Grass
.
For
a
Frothy
Hoof.
First
with
an
Instrument
make
hollow
the
Extremities
of
the
Hoof
on
the
outside

Vein
break
:
●et
the
Blood
run
forth
,
then
fill
up
the
Hole
with
fine
Salt
and
Hurds
steeped
in
Vinegar
,
and
then
bind
them
so
that
they
shall
not
fall
off
:
This
is
a
sure
way
to
make
a
hard
and
a
sound
Hoof.
For
the
blasting
of
the
Hoof.
You
must
first
cut
the
Hoof
round
about
the
out-side
,
then
pull
away
the
Sole
of
the
Foot
,
then
let
the
part
bleed
well
,
then
put
in
a
Tent
of
Whites
of
Eggs
,
bind
the
Foot
about
with
a
Band
;
after
two
days
wash
the
●ore
in
Vinegar
somewhat
hot
,
fill
it
with
fine
Salt
and
Tarta
beaten
together
,

For
a
Pinch
or
a

in
the
Withers
.
First
cut
out
the
dead
Flesh
,

A
present
Remedy
for
the
Staggers
.
When
you
find
your
Horse
distempered
in
his
Head
,
then
take
a
piece
of
Woollen
Cloth
and
bind
it
fast
to
the
end
of
a
stick
,
being
well
rubbed
with
good
Barbary-soap
,
and
then
put
it
into
both
his
Nostrils
with
as
much
ease
as
you
can
,
and
withall
draw
it
forth
very
gently
again
.
This
is
a
perfect
Remedy
.
For
the
Strangles
.
First
,
when
you
see
the
Strangles
growing
,
prick
them
under
the
Throat
in
the
Morning
,
and
after
cover
the
Horse's
Head
with
a
Linnen
Cloth
,
and
then
rub
him
often
under
the
Throat
with
Fresh
Butter
on
the
sore
place
.
For
the
swelling
of
the
Fore-legs
.
This
Distemper
cometh
after
great
Pains
and
Labour
;
the
efficient
Causes
are
many
,
but
principally
,
that
he
was
travell'd
when
young
,
before
he
was
cleansed
from
his
Humours
;
that
he
hath
been
travell'd
when
he
was
full
;
that
he
might
also
have
too
much
Rest
,
and
was
not
kept
with
moderate
Diet
;
that
he
fed
too
much
on
green
Meat
;
that
he
washed
after
Labour
,
and
such
like
.
But
if
the
Horse
be
naturally
fleshly-limbed
he
will
never
be
free
,
but
as
soon
as
he
is
cured
upon
Travel
he
will
swell
again
,
and
therefore
such
Jades
should
be
gelt
and
put
to
Cart
,
and
never
suffered
to
get
Colt
.
The
Cure
is
divers
;
Take
of
Mallows
three
or
four
handfuls
,
Rose-cake
and
Sage
a
handful
,
boil
them
in
Water
,
and
thereunto
put
half
a
pound
of
Butter
,
and
half
a
pint
of
Sallet-Oyl
;
being
made
warm
,
wash
him
twice
a
day
for
three
or
four
days
.
Another
for
the
same
.
Take
Hemlock
and
stamp
it
,
and
mingle
it
with
Sheeps-dung
and
Vinegar
,
and
having
made
a
Plaister
,
lay
it
all
over
the
Swelling
.
Another
for
the
same
.
Take
Wine-Lees
and
Cummin
,
and
boil
them
together
,
and
put
thereinto
a
little
Wheat-flower
,
and
charge
all
the
Swelling
therewith
,
and
walk
him
often
and
apace
to
heat
him
;
and
if
this
will
not
serve
,
then
take
up
the
great
Vein
above
the
Knee
,
on
the
inside
,
suffering
him
not
to
bleed
from
above
,
but
from
beneath
:
If
he
be
clean
and
lean-limbed
,
use
him
,
as
I
have
exprest
,
to
a
little
Butter
and
Beer
warmed
,
and
his
Feet
well
stopped
with
Cow-dung
is
sufficient
after
his
Travel
;
but
if
he
be
so
fleshly-limbed
that
this
will
not
help
,
cut
his
Throat
,
and
wash
him
with
his
own
Blood
,
and
he
will
never
after
swell
.

these
Infirmities

fine
Powder
,
a

and
mix
them

then
if
the
Swelling

Head
,
Face
,
or
Throat
,
you

Tops
together
with
a
Needle

Thread
,
renewing
it
once
in
two

,
till
the

:
but
if
it

then
with
this
Ointment
you

,
it
shall
be
good
before
you
anoint
them
with
this
Ointment
,
to
bathe
them
with
cold
Water
,
as
either
by
trotting
the
Horse
into
some
deep
Pond
,
or
else
by
taking
a
pail
of
cold
Water
,
and
dipping
a
Cloth
into
the
same
to
bathe
,
clap
and
wash
the

therewith
;
then
drying
them
with
another
clean
cloth
,
lay
on
the
Ointment
,
which
is
a
present
cure
.
For
a

.
The

on
both
sides
,
an
Inch
under
the
Shoulder-bones
,
then
with
a
Swan's
Quill
put

the
slit
,
blow
up
first
the
one
Shoulder
,
and
then
the
other
,
as
big
as
you
can
possibly
even
up
to
the
Withers
,
and
with
your
hand
strike
the
Wind
equally
into
every
place
of
the
Shoulders
,
and
when
they
are
both
full
,
then
beat
all
the
windy
places
with
a
Hasel
Wand
over
all
the
Shoulders
,
then
with
a
flat
slice
of
your
Iron
loosen
the
Skin
from
the
Flesh
;
that
done
,
rowel
the
two
slits
or
cuts
with
two
round
Rowels
of
Leather
with
a
hole
in
the
midst
,
that
the
Matter
may
issue
forth
;
and
let
such
Rowels
be
three
Inches
broad
,
and
so
put
in
,
that
they
may
be
plain
and
flat

Of
the
Wrinching
of
the
Shoulder
.
This
may
proceed
from
a
Fall
,
sudden
or
short
Turning
,
rash
running
out
of
some
Door
,
or
by
some
sudden
stop
,

like
;
which
being
done
,
he
shall
trail
his
Legs
to
him
close
as
he
goeth
.

cure
is
,
To
let
him
blood
in
the
Breast
as
soon
as
it
is
perceived
(
and
the
sooner
the
better
)

pints
at

least
,
and
to
keep
all
the
same
blood
in
a
pot
,
and
thereinto
put
a
quart
of
strong
Vinegar
,
six
Eggs
broken
,
shells
and
all
,
and
so
much
Wheat-flower
as
will
thicken
that
Liquor
;
put
thereinto
one
pound
of
Bole-Armony
,
beaten
into
powder
,
and
two
ounces
of
Sanguis
Dragonis
,
so
as
the
Flower
may
not
be
perceiv'd
;
and
if
it
be
too
stiff
,
soften
it
with
Vinegar
,
then
with
your
hand
da●b
all
the
Shoulder
from
the
Main
downward
,
and
betwixt
the
fore-bowels
,
all
against
the
Hair
;
and
let
not
the
Horse
remove
until
the
Charge
be
surely
fastned
to
the
Skin
;
then
lead
him
into
the
Stable
,
and
suffer
him
not
to
lie
all
that
day
,
keeping
him
with
a
spare
Diet
at
least
fifteen
days
together
;
and
let
him
not
remove
out
of
his
place
,
but
only
lie
down
all
that
time
,
and
e●ery
day
refresh
the
Shoulder-point
with
this
Charge
,
laying
still
new
upon
the
old
;
and
at
fifteen
or
twenty
days
end
,
lead
him
gently
,
to
see
if
he
be
amended
;
the
which
if
he
be
,
let
him
rest
for
the
space
of
two
Weeks
without
Travel
:
but
if
he
be
nothing
amended
,
then
rowel
him
with
a
Leather-Rowel
upon
the
Shoulder-point
,
and
keep
him
rowelled
for
the
space
of
fifteen
days
,
renewing
the
Rowel
,
and
cleansing
the
Wound
every
other
day
:
walk
him
up
and
down
very
gently
,
always
turning
him
on
the
contrary
side
;
and
if
he
go
well
,
pull
out
the
Rowel
,
and
heal
up
the
Wound
with
Turpentine
and
Hogs-grease
,
and
a
Tent
of
Flax.
But
if
the
Hurt
were
so
violent
,
that
all
this
will
not
help
him
,
then
draw
him
chequerwise
with
a
hot
Iron
over
all
the
Shoulder-point
,
and
let
him
go
to
plow
two
hours
every
day
in
soft
ground
,
where
he
may
not
be
over-much
strained
;
and
if
it
be
possible
,
let
him
be
let
blood
as
soon
as
he
is
hurt
in
those
place
Veins
,
and
also
in
the
place
,
or
as
near
as
is
possible
,
where
the
Hurt
or
Blow
is
,
to
the
intent
that
no
Blood
do
congeal
there
,
or
that
it
tarry
till
the
Flesh

black
with
the
Bruise
.
Of
Splayting
of
the
Shoulder
.
This
also
may
proceed
from

Shoulder
parteth
from
the
Breast
,
and
so
leaveth
a
Rift
or
Rent
in
the
Flesh
and
Film
under
the
Skin
,
which
causeth
him
also
to
trail
his
Leg
after
him
.

is
,
to
put
a

being
luke-warm
,
give
it
the
Horse
to
drink
fasting
in
the
Morning
,
and
ride
or
walk
him
an
hour
after
it
gently
;
then
set
him
up
very
warm
,
and
having
stood
an
hour
,
offer
him
Meat
,
which
he
will
willingly
accept
,
and
eat
heartily
,
and
in
any
case
sprinkle
,
his
Hay
with
Water
.
But
if
you
shall
perceive
that
he
casteth
foul
and
filthy
Matter
at
his
Nostrils
,
then
you
shall
every
Morning
as
soon
as
you
have
given
him
the
Drench
,
take
of
Auripigmentum
,
two
drams
,
of
Tussilage
or
Coltsfoot
,
made
it
into
Powder
,
as
much
;
then
with
Turpentine
work
them
to
a
stiff
Paste
,
and
make
little
round
Cakes
or
Troches
thereof
,
of
the
compass
of
a
Groat
,
but
much
thicker
,
dry
them
a
little
,
then
set
a
Chafingdish
on
the
Coles
,
and
laying
one
or
two
of
th●se
Cakes
thereon
,
cover
them
with
a
Tunnel
,
such
as
you
●un
Wine
or
Beer
into
Bottles
with
,
that
the
Smoak
may
ascend
through
the
same
;
and
having
made
the
Horse's
head
fast
,
put
the
Smoak
to
his
Nostrils
,
and
perfume
him
well
with
the
same
;
and
though
at
the
first
he
be
somewhat
coy
to
take
Smoak
,
yet
having
once
felt
the
Smell
thereof
,
he
will
take
such
delight
therein
,
that
he
will
of
his
own
Accord
thrust
his
Nose
to
the
same
.
As
soon
as
you
have
perfumed
your
Horse
,
you
shall
ride
him
forth
till
he
begin
to
sweat
,
then
set
him
in
the
Stable
,
and
do
as
aforesaid
;
and
let
him
not
for
a
great
while
drink
any
cold
Water
either
in
his
Sickness
or
out
of
his
Sickness
,
but
when
you
ride
him
after
it
;
but
if
your
Occasions
will
not
permit
you
to
do
so
,
then
you
shall
heat
a
Bottle
of
Water
on
the
Fire
scalding
hot
,
and
put
it
into
a
Gallon
or
two
of
cold
Water
,
so
that
it
may
only
take
the
Coldness
away
;
then
cast
a
handful
or
two
of
Ground-Malt
,
or
Wheat
Bran
into
the
same
,
and
so
give
it
the
Horse
to
drink
.

When
a
Horse
hath
eaten
more
than
the
Stomach
can
well
digest
,
he
is
in
such
pain
,
that
he
is
not
able
to
stand
,
but
lieth
and
walloweth
,
as
if
he
had
the
Bots.
The

it
;
●o

a
piece
of
a

of
Garlick
into
it
to
make
him
●iss
;
also
to
rake
him
behind
,
and
to
give
him
a
Glister

Take
Soot
of
a

up
.
For
the
sweying
of
the
Back
.
The
Hurt
cometh
by
some
Strain
.
The
Cure
is
,
That
●s
soon
as
he
beginneth
to
complain
,
which
is
by
reeling
or
●owling
in
the
hinder
Parts
,
which
is
easily

take

pre●ently
put
many
Cloths

,
and
let
him
not
be
travell'd
,
but
still
rest
.
And
if
this
help
him
not
,
then
draw
his
Back
with
a
hot
Iron
right
out
,
on
both
sides
of
the
Edge
of
his
Back
,
from
the
pitch
of
the
Buttock
,
to
a
handful
within
the
Saddle
,
and
then
overthwart
;
and
let

Of

Guarded
of
foul
swelled
Legs
,
or
other
Parts
,
by
reason
of
the
melting
of
the
Grease
,
or
other
Accidents
.
First
,
with
the
Fleam
prick
the
Parts
that
are
swelled
take
a
pint
of
Wine-Lees
,
of
Cummin-seeds
,
and
a
handful
o●
Wheat-flower
,
and
boil
them
together
till
they
are
thick
then
apply
this
Poultis
very
hot
to
the
swelled
parts
,
renewing
it
but
,
once
in
24
hours
;
then
if
this
,
in
two
or
three
times
,
draw
it
to
a
head
,
lance
it
and
heal
it
,
either
with
a
Plaister
of
Shoomakers-wax
,
or
else
with
the
Yolk
●
an
Egg
,
Wheat-flower
and
Honey
beaten
all
to
a
Salve
.
Bu●
if
it
do
not
draw
to
any
Head
,
and
yet
the
swelling
continue
,
then
take
of
Pitch
a
quarter
of
a
pound
,
and
as
muc●
Virgin-wax
,
of
Rosin-half
a
pound
,
of
the
Juice
of
Hys●
half
an
ounce
,
of
Deers-Suet
half

of

,
of
the
drops
of
Storax
half
an
ounce
,
and
boyl
all
together
in
an
Earthen
pot
;
and
after
it
is
cold
,
tak●

an

half

beat
these

Powder
,
an●
then
incorporate
them
with
the
other
,
and
boyl
them
a●
over
again
very
well
;
which
done
,
pour
the
whole
Mi●ture
into
cold
Water
,
then
roll
it
in
seven
big
Rolls
,
Plaisterwise
;
afterwards
spread
this
Plaister
upon
a
piece
●●
Leather
,
and
fold
it
about
the
swelled
Member
,
or
lay
i●
upon
the
swelled
part
;
and
if
any
thing
will
do
it
,
th●●
will
asswage
it
,
and
afford
much
Strength
to
the
Sinew
You
shall
by
no
means
remove
this
Plaister
,
as
long
as
it
will
stick
on
.
This
Plaister
,
I
must
confess
,
is
costly
,
and
curious
to
make
;
but
that
Horse
that
hath
it
applied
to
his
Limbs
when
he
cometh
from
Travel
,
shall
never
be
troubled
with
swelled
Legs
,
or
ever
throw
out
Wind-galls
:
but
if
you
will
not
be
at
such
Cost
,
then
continually
both
before
and
after
the
travel
of
your
Horse
,
when
he
is
in
the
House
,
several
times
in
a
day
,
lave
and
wash
his
Limbs
or
other
swelled
parts
,
with
the
coldest
and
clearest
Fountain
Water
that
you
can
get
,
and
sometimes
let
the
Horse
stand
in
some
cold
clear
River
for
the
space
of
a
quarter
of
an
hour
or
more
,
up
to
the
Knees
,
and
Lamterels
,
but
no
farther
.
This
Medicine
,
how
poorly
soever
you
may
look
on
it
,
is
of
infinite
Vertue
;
and
though
I
write
of
cold
Water
,
yet
is
the
Operation
hot
and
fiery
;
only
this
you
must
take
to
your
Remembrance
,
that
this
Application
appertains
not
to
Impostumations
,
but
to
Strains
and
Swellings
,
which
are
without
much
Anguish
.
How
to
keep
a
Horse
or
a
Jade
from
Tyring
.
If
you
ride
on
a
tyring
Jade
,
and
fear
the
perplexed
Cruelty
of
this
lazy
Beast
,
then
be
sure
to
carry
about
you
,
the
fine
scarse
Powder
of
Elecampane
,
and
when
others
Bait
their
Horses
,
or
that
you
come
to
the
place
of
Bait
for
your
Horse
,
the
first
thing
you
are
to
do
,
is
,
to
set
him
up
warm
,
and
do
not
walk
him
.
After
he
hath
been
well
rubbed
,
take
a
quart
of
strong
Ale
,
and
put
thereunto
half
an
ounce
of
the
Powder
of
Elecampane
,
and
brew
●hem
together
,
then
give
it
the
Horse
with
a
Horn
;
which
●●one
,
tye
his
head
to
the
Rack
,
for
you
need
not
care
for
Provender
till
Night
,
at
which
time
Provender
him
well
,
●nd
in
the
Morning
give
him
Oats
,
or
Bread
,
or
both
,
in
●
plentiful
manner
;
and
being
ready
to
back
him
,
give
●im
the
former
quantity
of
Ale
,
and
the
Powder
aforesaid
,
●nd
doubtless
you
shall
find
him
to
travel
with
great
Cou●age
and
Spirit
.
Also
,
take
a
bunch
of
Penny-Royal
,
and
●ye
it
to
the
Mouth
of
your
Bit
,
or
Snaffle
,
and
you
shall
●nd
it
very
comfortable
to
him
.
Now
if
your
Horse
,
notwithstanding
all
this
,
do
happen
to
tire
,
then
you
shall
take
off
the
Saddle
,
and
with
the
Herd
called
Arsmart
,
rub
his
Back
very
hard
,
then
laying
Arsmart
also
under
the
Saddle
,
so
ride
him
;
and
if
there
be
any
Life
in
him
,
it
will
make
him
go
,
for
this
is
a
notable
Torment
,
and
the
Smart
is
almost
intolerable
.
Two
sorts
of
Balls
to
cure
any
violent
Cold
,
or
Glander
,
to
prevent
the
Hearts
sickness
,
to
purge
away
all
molten
Grease
,
to
recover
a
lost
Stomach
,
to
keep
the
Heart
from
fainting
with
Exercise
,
and
to
make
a
lean
Horse
to
be
suddently
fat
.
Take
of
Anniseeds
,
of
Cummin-seeds
,
of
Fenugreek-seeds
,
of
Cathanus-seeds
,
of
the
Powder
of
Elecampane-Roots
,
two
ounces
,
beat
them
and
searse
them
to
a
very
fine
Powder
,
then
add
to
them
an
ounce
of
the
Flower
of
Brimstone
,
and
take
an
ounce
of
the
best
Juice
of
Liquorice
,
and
dissolve
it
in
half
a
pint
of
White-wine
;
which
done
,
take
an
ounce
of
the
Oyl
of
Anniseeds
,
and
as
much
of
the
Syrup
of
Coltsfoot
and
of
Sallet-Oyl
,
and
of
fine
Life-honey
a
pint
,
then
mix
all
this
with
the
former
Powder
,
and
with
as
much
fine
Wheat-flower
as
will
bind
them
together
,
then
work
them
into
a
stiff
Paste
,
and
make
thereof
Balls
somewhat
bigger
than
French
Walnuts
,
and
to
keep
them
in
a
close
Gallipot
,
for
they
will
last
all
the
Year
;
and
when
you
have
occasion
to
use
it
,
take
one
and
anoint
it
all
over
with
Sweer-Butter
,
and
so
give
the
Horse
every
Morning
one
,
in
the
manner
of
a
Pill
,
and
ride
him
a
little
after
it
,
then
feed
or
water
him
abroad
or
at
home
,
according
to
your
usual
Custom
;
and
thus
do
(
if
it
be
to
prevent
Sickness
)
for
three
or
four
Mornings
together
;
but
if
it
be
only
to
take
away
an
Infirmity
,
then
use
it
at
least
a
Week
or
more
;
if
it
be
to
take
away
molten
Grease
or
Foulness
,
then
instantly
after
his
Heat
,
or
in
his
Heat
only
;
but
if
it
be
to
fatten
a
Horse
,
then
use
it
at
the
least
a
Fortnight
,
or
more
.
Now
if
you
find
any
difficulty
of
the
giving
of
it
as
Pills
,
you
may
then
at
your
Pleasure
dissolve
one
of
those
Balls
either
into
sweet
Wine
,
Beer
,
or
Ale
,
and
so
give
it
the
Horse
to
drink
with
a
Horn.
But
if
it
be
to
fatten
,
and
take
away
Infirmity
,
as
,
the
running
Glanders
,
or
such
like
,
then
besides
these
Balls
,
you
may
make
these
second
Balls
.
Take
of
Wheat-flower
six
pound
,
or
more
,
as
shall
suffice
to
make
stiff
the
Paste
,
then
take
of
Aniseeds
,
of
Cummin-seeds
,
and
of
Cathanus
,
of
Fenugreek
,
and
ordinary
Brimstone
,
of
each
two
ounces
,
Sallet-Oil
a
pint
,
of
Honey
,
of
White-wine
a
Pottle
,
beat
those
hard
Simples
to
a
fine
Powder
,
and
searse
them
,
then
with
the
rest
make
them
into
a
stiff
Paste
:
then
of
this
Paste
take
a
Ball
as
big
as
a
Man's
Fist
,
and
dissolve
it
into
two
or
three
Gallons
of
clear
cold
running
Water
,
by
washing
and
laving
the
Paste
therein
,
and
so
give
it
the
Horse
to
drink
at
the
ordinary
watering
times
,
or
any
other
times
when
he
is
disposed
to
drink
,
which
can't
be
too
often
;
then
ride
and
warm
him
a
little
after
it
:
then
when
the
Water
is
spent
,
do
not
cast
away
the
Bottom
,
but
filling
up
the
Vessel
again
with
new
fresh
Water
,
dissolve
another
Ball
therein
;
and
thus
do
for
fourteen
days
together
at
least
,
and
you
shall
see
wonderful
Effects
arise
.
This
Water
scowreth
,
cleanseth
,
and
feedeth
in
an
admirable
manner
.
And
the
other
lesser
Balls
first
spoken
of
,
purge
the
Stomach
or
Intrails
of
all
Foulness
,
void
molten
Grease
,
fortifie
nature
so
powerfully
,
that
it
leaves
behind
it
no
evil
in
the
Body
.
And
this
small
Ball
(
if
it
were
for
my
Life
)
would
I
give
to
a
Horse
immediately
upon
his
drawing
forth
,
if
he
went
either
to
run
,
to
hunt
,
to
use
any
violent
and
extreme
Labour
.
Another
way
how
to
fatten
a
Horse
suddenly
.
There
is
another
way
to
fatten
a
Horse
suddenly
,
which
I
have
found
to
be
both
good
and
certain
.
Take
of
Elecampane
,
of
Cummin-seeds
,
of
Turmerick
,
of
Aniseeds
,
of
each
two
ounces
of
〈◊〉
an
handful
,
boyl
all
these
very
well
with
three
Heads
of
Garlick
,
cleansed
and
stamped
in
a
Gallon
of
strong
Ale
,
then
strain
it
well
,
and
give
the
Horse
a
quart
to
drink
lukewarm
in
the
Morning
fasting
,
then
ride
him
that
he
be
warm
,
set
him
up
warm
,
and
thus
do
for
four
or
five
Mornings
,
and
then
turn
the
Horse
to
Grass
(
if
the
time
of
the
Year
be
suitable
thereunto
)
and
he
will
feed
heartily
.
But
if
the
time
of
the
Year
serve
not
for
Grass
,
then
you
must
keep
him
in
the
House
,
and
over
and
beside
the
drink
before
shewed
,
you
shall
take
sine
Powder
of
Elecampane
,
and
the
fine
Powder
of
Cummin-seeds
,
a
like
quantity
,
mix
them
well
together
,
then
every
time
you
give
your
Horses
Provender
,
which
should
be
at
least
thrice
a
day
,
in
the
Morning
,
Noon
,
and
at
Night
,
take
half
an
ounce
of
this
Powder
,
and
sprinkle
it
by
little
and
little
into
his
Provender
,
for
fear
of
Offence
,
till
it
be
all
eaten
up
.
And
thus
do
for
fourteen
days
together
at
the
least
,
and
you
shall
see
the
Horse
prosper
in
a
wonderful
and
strange
manner
.
For
the
Hide-bound
.
The
Cause
hereof
is
sudden
Cold
after
great
Heat
;
when
the
Pores
are
open
the
Cold
entereth
,
and
maketh
an
Attraction
of
the
Sinews
,
so
as
the
Horse
seemeth
to
go
or
Travel
with
great
Grief
,
his
Skin
being
as
if
it
were
starched
,
being
shrunk
and
clinging
to
his
Ribs
.
The
Cure
is
,
to
let
him
Blood
in
both
the
Flank-Veins
,
being
next
the
girding
place
and
the
Flanks
:
then
take
a
quart
of
good
White-Wine
,
and
put
thereunto
three
ounces
of
Sallet-Oyl
,
and
of
Cummin
,
one
ounce
,
of
Aniseeds
two
ounces
,
of
Liquorice
,
two
ounces
beaten
into
a
Powder
,
and
give
it
him
warm
,
then
let
him
be
rubbed
half
an
hour
together
;
cover
all
his
Back
with
a
Sack
,
thoroughly
soak'd
in
a
Tub
of
Water
,
and
the
Water
wrung
out
of
it
,
and
upon
that
cast
many
Cloths
,
and
gird
them
fast
unto
him
to
bring
him
to
a
Sweat
,
which
is
the
only
and
chief
thing
to
recover
him
,
and
keep
him
good
Mashes
,
and
every
day
let
him
be
so
used
;
for
seven
or
eight
days
together
,
give
him
much
sodden
Barly
and
Beans
for
his
dyet
,
and
green
Malt
on
the
floor
,
and
after
the
eight
days
let
him
Blood
in
the
two
breast
Veins
,
about
a
pint
;
then
give
him
a
pint
of
Sack
,
and
quarter
of
a
pint
of
Sallet-Oyl
,
four
penniworth
of
the
best
Treacle
,
and
ride
him
until
he
sweat
,
then
presently
set
him
in
a
warm
Stable
,
and
cloth
him
very
warm
,
and
at
Night
give
him
a
good
Mash
of
Malt
,
with
the
Powder
of
Brimslone
to
the
quantity
of
two
spoonfuls
.
For
the
Navel-gall
.
The
Cures
thereof
are
divers
,
and
so
they
ought
to
be
;
for
Medicine
is
to
be
ministred
according
to
the
hurt
,
as
it
may
be
more
or
less
.
If
it
be
but
galled
,
take
Soot
of
●
Chimney
and
Yest
mixed
together
,
and
Plaister
it
once
or
twice
a
day
.
Another
Remedy
for
the
same
Sore
.
Take
a
Pottle
of
Verjuice
,
three
penniworth
of
Green
Coporas
,
boil
it
to
the
one
half
,
and
wash
the
Sore
therewith
,
then
fill
it
with
red
Lead
,
and
let
it
not
be
dressed
of
three
days
,
then
dress
it
as
you
shall
see
cause
.
Another
Cure
for
the
same
.
If
it
be
so
hurt
as
that
it
swell
and
is
imposthumed
,
the●●
lance
it
on
the
nethermost
part
of
the
Ulcer
,
so
that
the
matter
may
have
issue
downward
,
for
if
you
should
lance
it
aloft
,
then
the
Corruption
that
remaineth
will
fistulate
;
if
you
find
the
Concavity
deep
,
then
make
a
Tent
of
Flax
,
and
dip
it
in
this
Salve
.
Take
of
Deers-Suet
,
of
Wax
,
of
Tar
,
and
of
Turpentine
,
of
each
three
ounces
,
and
one
ounce
of
Rosin
,
mingle
them
together
,
and
tent
the
Wound
;
and
if
you
see
any
dead
Flesh
grow
in
it
,
then
sprinkle
the
Powder
of
Verdegrease
upon
it
,
lay
upon
the
Head
of
the
Tent
a
Plaister
of
a
Yolk
of
an
Egg
,
Honey
,
and
Wheat-flower
,
and
thus
dress
it
Evening
and
Morning
until
it
be
whole
.
For
the
Worms
.
They
are
ingendred
of
raw
and
evil
Humours
:
there
are
three
kinds
of
them
;
the
Worm
,
the
Bot
,
and
the
Trencheon
.
The
Horse
will
lie
down
and
wallow
when
they
feed
on
him
,
his
breath
will
stink
,
and
his
Mouth
be
clammy
.
The
cure
is
for
to
give
him
a
quart
of
new
Milk
,
and
half
a
pint
of
Honey
in
it
Blood-warm
;
this
will
make
them
rest
from
gnawing
of
him
,
because
they
will
suck
thereof
until
they
are
ready
for
to
burst
;
then
the
next
day
give
him
this
drink
following
.
First
take
a
quart
of
wort
,
or
of
the
strongest
Ale
,
then
take
a
quarter
of
a
pound
of
Fern
,
half
a
pound
of
Savin
,
half
a
pound
of
Stonecrop
,
stamp
them
,
and
put
them
together
with
two
spoonfuls
of
Brimstone
,
and
as
much
Chimney
Soot
beaten
to
Powder
,
and
let
them
lye
in
steep
two
hours
,
then
strain
them
and
give
the
Horse
a
little
warm
;
bridle
him
and
let
him
stand
six
hours
after
without
Meat
,
and
there
is
no
doubt
but
the
Horse
will
be
quiet
,
for
the
strength
thereof
is
such
to
strain
the
Maw
,
as
that
the
Bot
will
not
meddle
,
but
fly
from
it
,
but
it
doth
not
kill
them
.
After
these
former
Drinks
given
him
,
the
third
day
make
him
purging
Pills
,
viz.
Take
of
Lard
a
pound
,
laid
in
Water
two
hours
,
take
nothing
but
the
clean
Fat
thereof
;
stamp
it
in
a
Mortar
,
and
thereunto
put
of
Liquorice
,
of
Aniseeds
,
of
Fenugreek
,
of
each
beaten
into
Powder
three
ounces
;
of
Aloes
in
Powder
two
ounces
;
and
of
Agarick
an
ounce
,
knead
them
into
a
Paste
,
and
make
six
balls
thereof
,
then
the
Horse
having
fasted
over
night
,
give
him
the
next
Morning
three
of
these
Pills
,
anointed
with
Honey
;
when
you
have
opened
his
Mouth
,
catch
hold
of
his
Tongue
,
hold
it
fast
till
you
have
hurled
in
one
,
and
thrust
it
down
his
Throat
with
a
rolling-pin
,
and
then
let
his
Tongue
go
till
he
hath
swallowed
it
down
,
and
so
do
with
the
rest
,
and
keep
him
close
from
all
Air
,
and
at
Night
give
him
a
strong
Mash
,
and
warm
Water
three
days
after
;
my
reason
is
,
for
that
these
Balls
will
purge
out
of
his
Body
all
the
Bots
and
Worms
,
and
all
the
Humours
that
breed
and
cherish
them
;
so
as
that
your
Horse
will
be
perfectly
clean
:
and
you
shall
find
most
of
the
Bots
alive
,
when
they
are
purged
;
for
you
cannot
kill
them
with
Medicine
,
but
only
make
them
to
forbear
vexing
of
him
;
for
so
long
as
his
Maw
resteth
so
bitter
and
stinking
,
they
dare
not
feed
on
it
,
but
upon
other
Humours
.
For
the
Lax.
Take
of
Bean-flower
and
Bole
Armony
,
of
each
a
quatern
,
mingled
in
a
quart
of
red
Wine
,
give
it
him
lukewarm
,
and
after
it
let
him
drink
warm
Water
,
with
Bean-flower
,
but
if
that
will
not
stay
him
,
then
give
him
half
a
penny-worth
of
Allum
,
beaten
into
Powder
,
and
Bole
Armony
beaten
small
,
in
a
quart
of
Milk
,
stirring
them
till
the
Milk
be
all
of
a
Curd
,
and
this
will
stop
him
.
For
Costiveness
or
Belly-bound
.
Take
of
the
Decoction
of
Mallows
a
quart
,
put
it
to
half
a
pint
of
Oil
,
or
so
much
Butter
,
an
ounce
of
Benedick
Luxature
,
and
pour
it
into
his
Fundament
with
a
little
Horn
,
and
hold
his
Tail
close
to
his
Fundament
,
whilst
another
doth
lead
him
,
and
so
keep
it
in
him
as
long
as
you
can
,
and
after
keep
him
warm
and
give
him
warm
Water
to
drink
.
All
these
Infirmities
are
cured
by
the
Whey
only
contained
in
this
following
Medicine
:
The
Bloody-Rifts
,
the
Bladders
,
the
Lampus
,
all
Mouth-Cankers
,
all
Hurts
in
the
Mouth
,
The
Tongue-hurt
,
the
Paps
,
the
Tooth-ach
,
the
Shedding
of
Hair
,
the
Fetter-worm
.
Take
of
New-Milk
three
quarts
,
a
good
handful
of
Plantain
,
let
it
boil
till
a
full
pint
be
consumed
;
then
take
six
ounces
of
Allum
,
and
an
ounce
and
a
half
of
White-Sugar-candy
,
both
being
made
in
a
very
fine
Powder
,
six
spoonfuls
of
strong
Wine-Vinegar
,
and
put
them
into
the
Milk
;
then
let
it
boyl
a
little
till
it
have
a
hard
Curd
,
then
drain
it
,
and
save
the
Whey
wherewith
you
shall
first
bathe
the
Sore
;
the
Whey
being
warm
,
then
with
a
clean
Cloth
dry
the
Sore
,
and
apply
this
Salve
to
it
:
Take
of
Turpentine
,
Yellow-wax
,
and
Hogs-grease
ground
to
a
fine
Powder
,
and
ounce
and
a
half
;
mix
all
these
together
on
a
soft
Fire
,
and
then
put
it
in
a
Gally-pot
,
and
let
it
cool
;
but
in
case
where
the
Bruise
is
not
broken
,
nor
is
likely
to
break
,
you
must
apply
another
Medicine
,
which
I
shall
hereafter
acquaint
you
with
.
For
the
Yellows
.
The
Cause
hereof
is
also
the
abundance
of
bad
Humors
;
the
Cure
is
plain
,
let
him
Blood
,
if
you
see
it
yellow
,
a
Pottle
,
then
give
him
a
quart
of
White-Wine
,
of
Saffron
and
Fenugreek
of
each
half
an
ounce
,
and
the
juice
that
is
wrung
out
of
two
handfuls
of
Selandine
,
and
being
Blood-warm
,
give
it
him
,
and
keep
him
warm
,
and
with
good
Mashes
,
wherein
put
two
spoonfuls
of
the
Powder
of
Brimstone
:
some
will
give
in
this
drink
the
green
ordure
of
Ge●se
strained
.
For
the
Surfeiting
and
Foundring
of
the
Body
.
The
Cause
of
this
Disease
is
over-much
eating
after
Labour
,
whilst
the
Horse
is
hot
,
whereby
his
meat
not
being
digested
,
breedeth
evil
Humors
,
which
by
little
and
little
do
spread
through
all
the
parts
of
the
Body
,
and
at
length
oppress
the
whole
Body
;
and
so
do
take
away
his
Strength
that
he
hath
not
power
to
go
or
move
his
Joints
;
and
being
laid
is
not
able
to
rise
,
whereby
he
wanteth
the
use
of
pissing
,
as
also
of
dunging
;
Nature
being
overcome
,
then
doth
the
Humour
rule
the
body
to
the
destruction
of
it
:
In
like
manner
it
is
when
the
Horse
being
over
hot
with
Travel
drinketh
so
much
as
the
Cold
thereof
suppresseth
his
natural
Heat
:
the
Cause
is
,
that
the
evil
Humours
being
predominant
according
to
their
Nature
,
being
heavy
and
moist
,
immediately
fall
down
into
the
Horse's
Legs
and
Feet
,
and
there
rest
,
which
if
not
prevented
will
make
great
gordy
Limbs
,
as
the
Pains
,
Cratches
,
Spavins
,
Wind-galls
,
casting
of
the
Hoofs
,
and
such
like
.
The
Cure
hereof
must
be
according
to
your
Effects
that
are
wrought
in
the
Horse
,
if
it
be
perceived
,
as
when
the
Hair
beginneth
to
stare
,
that
he
will
be
chill
,
and
shrug
for
Cold
,
forsake
his
Meat
,
hang
down
his
Head
,
quiver
after
cold
Water
,
and
after
two
or
three
days
,
begin
to
cough
,
which
is
a
sign
that
his
surfeit
is
not
great
,
and
that
he
may
be
thus
cured
;
Cover
his
Belly
with
the
Glister
last
mentioned
,
and
give
him
this
Drink
:
Take
of
Malmsey
a
quart
,
of
Sugar
half
a
quatern
,
of
Cinamon
half
an
ounce
,
of
Liquorice
and
Aniseeds
,
of
each
two
spoonfuls
beaten
into
●●ne
Powder
,
put
into
it
Malmsey
,
and
give
it
him
Blood-warm
,
keep
him
warm
,
let
him
drink
nothing
but
warm
water
,
four
or
five
days
after
let
him
Blood
.
For
the
Collick
.
The
Cause
of
this
Disease
is
twofold
;
either
it
proceeds
from
abundance
of
Humours
,
or
of
Wind
;
and
although
it
be
Wind
,
yet
I
judge
the
Original
to
be
an
Obstruction
of
Humours
which
will
not
suffer
the
Wind
to
have
its
free
passage
,
which
otherwise
Nature
would
expel
as
his
Enemy
.
The
Cures
may
be
divers
,
and
because
it
is
a
Disease
that
few
Farriers
understand
,
I
will
set
down
several
Cures
,
that
if
one
thing
cannot
be
speedily
procured
,
another
may
.
First
,
it
may
be
an
Obstruction
,
for
that
the
Horse
hath
the
stone
,
and
cannot
stale
:
for
this
take
a
quart
of
White-Wine
,
half
a
pint
of
Bur-seed
beaten
small
,
two
ounces
of
Parsly-seed
,
of
Smallage
,
Saxafrage
,
the
Roots
of
Philapendula
,
Gromwel-seed
,
and
Broom-seed
,
of
each
two
ounces
,
beaten
to
fine
Powder
,
a
good
handful
of
Water-Cresses
,
and
lay
them
in
steep
all
Night
,
and
in
the
Morning
strain
them
clean
,
and
put
into
it
a
little
Black-Soap
,
and
a
little
Butter
,
and
ride
him
until
that
he
begin
to
sweat
;
then
set
him
in
a
Stable
with
a
great
quantity
of
sweet
Litter
under
him
,
and
cloath
him
warm
,
and
so
let
him
stand
Meatl●ss
seven
or
eight
hours
;
then
give
him
dried
Oats
and
warm
Water
,
with
a
quantity
of
Sallet-Oyl
to
drink
;
and
before
he
have
this
Drink
let
him
fast
all
Night
.
Another
Cure
for
the
same
.
Take
a
pound
of
Malmsey
,
of
Cloves
,
Pepper
,
Cinamon
,
of
each
an
ounce
,
of
Sugar
half
a
quartern
,
and
give
it
the
Horse
lukewarm
,
and
Labour
him
upon
it
an
hour
that
be
dung
and
stale
,
keep
him
to
warm
Water
;
but
if
he
be
a
stoned
Horse
,
there
is
not
any
better
thing
than
for
him
to
have
his
full
desire
with
a
Mare
.
Another
for
the
same
.
If
you
think
that
it
proceeds
chiefly
from
Wind
,
it
may
be
so
occasioned
when
he
is
ridden
hot
and

keep

all
Night
,
in
the
Morning
take
a
quart
of
White-Wine
,
four
ounces
of
Fenugreek

For

When
a
Horse
hath
eaten
more
than
his
stomack
can
well
digest
,
he
is
in
such
pain
,
as
that
he
is
not
able
to
stand
,
but
lyeth
and
walloweth
as
if
he
had
the
Bots
,
the
danger
whereof
I
have
written
.
The
Cure
is
,
to
let
him
Blood
,
and
to
draw
his
Yard
,
and
wash
it
,
put
a
piece
of
a
Clove
of
Garlick
into
it
,
to
make
him
piss
;
also
to
rake
him
behind
,
and
give
him
a
glister
with
the
Water
of
Sodden-Mallows
,
Fresh-Butter
and
Sallet-Oyl
;
keep
him
harm
,
and
let
him
eat
very
little
for
four
or
five
days
.
These
Infirmities
are
cured
by
the
following
Medicine
:
All
Convulsion
of
Sinnews
,
all
Cramps
whatsoever
,
your
Neck-crick
,
the
Shoulder-Splat
,
all
swelled
Legs
,
the
Over-reach
of
the
Back-Sirew
,
all
Wind-Galls
,
Wrenches
in
the
nether
J●in●s
,
all
Bruises
unbroke
,
all
Strains
whatsoever
.
Take
strong
Vinegar
or
Patch-grease
,
or
Peece-grease
,
of
each
a
like
quantity
,
and
boyl
it
on
the
Fire
;
then
with
Wheat-Bran
make
it
into
a
hot
Poultis
;
and
being
so
warm
as
the
Horse
may
endure
it
,
apply
it
twice
a
day
to
the
grieved
place
;
but
in
case
that
the
soreness
be
where
you
cannot
bind
any
Poultis
unto
it
,
then
you
shall
only
take
Patch-grease
,
and
being
molten
very
hot
,
with
the
same
bathe
the
Horse
twice
a
day
,
and
give
him
very
moderate
Exercise
before
and
after
his
dressing
;
it
will
not
only
take
away
all
Pain
and
Anguish
,
but
also
remove
all
Swellings
,
Guordings
,
or
any
other
Sore
whatsoever
.
For
the
Wens
or
Knobs
in
the
Body
.
The
Cure
is
,
Take
of
Mallows
,
Sage
,
and
Red-Nettles
,
of
each
a
handful
,
boyl
them
in
running
Water
,
put
thereunto
Butter
and
Honey
a
little
quantity
,
and
when
that
the
Herbs
are
soft
,
bruise
them
,
then
put
thereunto
of
Oyl
of
Bayes
two
ounces
,
and
two
ounces
of
Hogs-grease
,
and
warm
them
together
over
the
Fire
;
which
being
well
stirred
and
very
hot
,
make
a
Plaister
as
big
as
the
Wen
,
upon
a
piece
of
Leather
,
and
so
renew
it
for
the
space
of
eight
days
,
always
laid
as
hot
as
may
be
;
and
if
it
come
not
to
a
head
then
lance
it
very
deep
,
afterwards
heal
it
with
very
clean
washed
Turpentine
,
the
Yolk
of
an
Egg
,
and
a
little
Saffron
,
well
wrought
together
,
with
a
Tent
of
Flax
,
well
rowled
therein
,
renewing
it
every
day
.
Another
Cure
for
the
same
.
Take
a
pound
of
strong
Lye
and
Soap
,
a
quarter
of
Vitriol
Roman
,
an
ounce
of
Sal
Armoniack
,
as
much
of
Roch-Allum
,
and
boil
them
together
till
they
are
thick
,
and
use
it
for
an
Ointment
.
Another
remedy
for
the
same
.
Take
Gipsiaecum
,
the
strongest
,
and
lay
it
on
with
Cotton
three
or
four
times
,
and
it
will
take
it
away
.
For
the
falling
of
the
Crest
.
The
Cure
is
,
First
let
the
Crest
be
supported
to
stand
upright
;
then
on
the
contrary
side
that
it
falleth
,
draw
his
Crest
the
depth
of
a
Straw
with
a
hot
Iron
,
the
edge
of
which
Iron
should
be
half
an
Inch
broad
,
and
make
your
Beginning
and
Ending
somewhat
beyond
the
Fall
;
but
the
first
Draught
must
go
all
the
way
upon
the
edge
of
the
Main
,
even
under
the
Roots
of
the
same
,
bearing
your
hand
right
downward
into
the
neckward
,
then
answer
that
with
another
Draught
beneath
,
and
so
far
distant
from
the
first
as
the
Fall
is
broad
,
compassing
all
the
Fall
;
and
betwixt
these
two
Draughts
,
right
in
the
midst
,
draw
another
Draught
,
then
with
a
Button
of
an
Inch
about
,
or
else
crossing
the
same
with
your
Iron
,
burn
at
each
end
a
hole
,
or
else
cross
the
Spaces
betwixt
the
Draughts
;
the
Reason
is
,
that
by
the
pursing
up
and
shrinking
of
the
Skin
on
the
contrary
side
,
the
Crest
may
stand
upright
:
Some
will
afterwards
anoint
the
same
with
Fresh
Butter
,
or
something
to
asswage
the
Heat
;
but
this
is
a
way
to
enlarge
the
Skin
,
and
for
my
own
part
I
hold
it
best
until
nine
days
are
past
,
then
to
take
away
the
Scab
will
not
be
amiss
.
For
the
crick
in
the
Neck
.
There
are
many
Opinions
how
this
should
come
●●
a
Horse
,
and
therefore
many
means
ought
to
be
used
before
any
extreme
means
be
used
;
first
therefore
,
if
the
Horse
have
such
a
Crick
that
he
holdeth
his
Neck
streight
,
and
cannot
have
the
use
to
lift
it
up
and
down
as
was
usual
,
then
let
two
Men
on
each
side
rub
his
Neck
,
rub
him
stoutly
;
sparing
no
pains
till
his
Neck
be
grown
very
hot
;
which
being
done
,
put
a
Bit
into
his
Mouth
,
and
make
tryal
if
he
can
or
will
rein
in
any
seemly
Proportion
;
the
which
if
he
do
,
then
it
is
to
be
concluded
the
same
came
by
some
Cold
or
some
Strain
;
and
then
I
would
have
him
let
blood
on
both
of
the
Breast-Veins
,
and
all
his
Neck
throughly
anointed
and
laboured
with
Aquavitae
and
Nerve-Oil
,
that
it
may
drink
into
the
Skin
,
and
two
Sheep-skins
wrapt
about
him
with
the
Wool
next
to
the
Neck
to
keep
it
in
a
great
Heat
,
and
so
to
rest
twenty-four
hours
;
and
if
he
do
not
by
this
means
amend
,
but
carrieth
his
Head
still
down
and
feedeth
slowly
,
then
make
a
hole
in
his
Forehead
close
under
the
Foretop
,
and
thrust
in
a
Cronet
to
raise
the
Skin
from
the
Flesh
a
handful
deep
,
then
take
a
Goose's
Feather
well
anointed
with
Hogs-grease
to
keep
the
hole
open
that
it
may
run
ten
days
together
,
and
every
day
twice
let
the
Feather
be
cleansed
and
new
anointed
,
and
let
his
Neck
be
still
laboured
with
rubbing
,
covered
very
warm
to
keep
it
in
a
Sweat
,
and
if
you
perceive
no
Amendment
,
then
draw
him
with
a
hot
Iron
from
the
Root
of
the
Ear
on
both
sides
of
the
Neck
through
the
midst
of
the
same
,
even
to
the
Breast
,
a
straw
deep
,
that
both
ends
may
meet
on
the
Breast
;
but
if
he
carry
his
Neck
awry
on
one
side
,
then
only
draw
the
contrary
side
with
a
hot
Iron
,
and
fail
not
every
Morning
when
he
is
fasting
to
ride
him
with
a
Bit
till
he
sweat
,
and
the
hotter
he
is
,
the
more
pull
in
his
Rein
,
and
when
he
cometh
to
the
Stable
,
cool
him
moderately
,
and
rub
him
throughly
.
To
draw
the
Wolves
Teeth
.
These
are
two
little
Teeth
growing
in
the
upper
Jaw
next
to
the
great
grinding
Teeth
,
which
hinderr
the
Horse
from
grinding
his
Meat
,
so
as
he
will
let
it
fall
unchewed
,
and
sometimes
you
shall
see
some
Teeth
so
long
and
over-hanging
in
his
Jaws
,
that
they
race
and
cut
his
Cheeks
,
so
that
he
cannot
feed
.
The
Cure
is
,
Tye
the
Horse's
Head
to
some
Raster
or
Post
,
his
Mouth
being
opened
with
a
Cord
,
so
as
you
may
see
every
part
thereof
,
then
take
a
round
Iron
Tool
half
a
yard
long
,
made
at
the
end
like
a
Carpenpenter's
Gouge
,
and
with
your
Left-hand
set
the
edge
of
that
Tool
at
the
foot
of
the
Wolves
Teeth
,
on
the
outside
of
the
Jaw
,
turning
the
hollow-side
of
the
Tool
downward
,
holding
your
hand
steadily
,
then
with
a
Mallet
in
your
Right-hand
strike
on
the
head
of
the
Tool
,
a
pretty
hard
blow
to
loosen
it
,
and
make
it
bend
inward
,
then
wrench
the
Tooth
outward
with
the
inside
of
the
Tool
,
and
thrust
it
out
of
his
Head
;
and
do
the
like
to
the
other
Tooth
,
and
fill
the
holes
with
Salt
;
and
if
any
Tooth
do
over-hang
the
nether
Teeth
,
to
the
Prejudice
of
the
Horse
,
then
with
your
Mallet
and
Tool
pare
the
Tooth
,
or
as
many
as
over-hang
for
hurting
the
Horse's
Mouth
.
For

For
the
Cumey

Mouth
.
This
proceeds
from
the
eating
of
filthy
Hay
,
that
Cats
,
Dogs
,
and
other
Vermine
have
pist
upon
,
which
will
cause

These
Infirmities
are
cured
by
the
Medicine
following
:
Manginess
in
the
Main
,
Manginess
in
the
Tail
,
the
Mallander
,
the
Sellander
,
the
Pains
,
the
Scratches
,
all
kibed
Heels
.
The
Leprosie
,
the
Farcyn
,
the
General
Scab
,
all
Lice
or
Nits
,
or
other
Vermin
.
First
,
in
any
wise
you
shall
let
the
Horse
blood
in
the
Neck-Vein
,
and
suffer
him
to
bleed
very
well
(
because
the
Corruption
of
the
Blood
is
the
only
Breeder
of
these
Infirmities
)
having
with
a
Knife
,
Lancet
,
Curry-comb
,
Hair-cloth
,
and
such
like
,
opened
the
Knots
and
Pistules
,
and
rubbed
away
all
Scurf
and
Filthiness
,
laying
the
Sores
open
and
raw
,
as
it
were
ready
to
bleed
;
then
you
shall
take
of
Yellow
Arsnick
or
White
Mercury
beaten
to
a
fine
Powder
,
or
Belagar
and
clarified
Hogs-grease
,
of
each
a
like
quantity
,
and
beat
them
well
together
till
they
come
to
a
perfect
Ointment
;
then
having
tied
the
Horse's
Head
up
fast
to
the
Rack
,
in
such
wise
that
he
can
neither
lick
nor
bite
himself
,
with
this
Ointment
anoint
all
the
Sores
and
other
offended
places
very
well
over
,
holding
some
hot
Bar
of
Iron
,
or
Fire-shovel
,
heated
against
the
same
,
that
the
Ointment
may
the
better
and
speedier
soak
in
;
and
being
thus
anointed
,
let
him
stand
the
space
of
two
or
three
hours
at
the
least
tyed
as
aforesaid
;
which
done
,
take
of
the
strongest
Urine
you
can
get
,
and
with
the
same
wash
away
all
the
Ointment
,
wheresoever
it
was
laid
,
and
then
untye
the
Horse
,
and
put
him
to
his
Meat
;
and
thus
do
once
a
day
,
till
the
Sores
dry
up
and
begin
to
waste
away
.
For
the
Bleeding
at
the
Nose
.
This
may
be
derived
from
many
Causes
which
cannot
be
truly
known
,
as
proceeding
from
within
the
Body
,
and
therefore
I
shall
only
direct
how
to
cure
the
same
.
Take
a
pint
of
Red-Wine
,
and
put
thereinto
a
quarter
of
Bole-Armony
beaten
into
a
fine
Powder
,
and
put
the
one
half
into
his
Nostrils
that
bleedeth
,
holding
up
his
Head
,
and
this
may
do
well
if
in
the
Nostril
or
Head
there
be
the
original
Cause
;
the
next
day
give
him
the
rest
into
his
body
,
and
that
will
surely
bind
his
Body
,
and
it
may
help
the
bleeding
inward
.
Another
Remedy
for
the
same
.
Let
him
blood
in
the
Breast-Veins
,
of
each
a
pint
,
for
that
is
most
likely
to
turn
the
Course
of
the
Blood
;
take
two
or
three
spoonfuls
of
his
Blood
,
and
put
it
into
a
Sawcer
,
and
boyl
it
until
it
be
dried
to
a
powder
;
then
take
the
Powder
thereof
,
and
blow
it
into
his
Nostrils
,
h●d
if
it
come
of
a
Wound
;
put
it
into
the
same
,
and
it
will
presently
stanch
it
;
as
also
Horse-dung
,
Asses-dung
,
Hogs-dung
,
Sage-Leases
bruised
and
put
into
the
Wound
;
or
take
of
Frank●ncense
an
ounce
of
Aloes
half
an
ounce
,
and
beat
them
into
a
fine
Powder
,
and
mingle
them
throughly
with
the
Whites
of
Eggs
until
it
be
as
thick
as
Honey
,
and
with
soft
Hares-hair
thrust
his
Nostrils
so
full
,
as
that
it
cannot
fall
out
.
And
lastly
,
some
will
throw
cold
Water
upon
him
against
his
Hair
,
and
't
is
likely
that
the
over-cooling
of
him
that
way
may
stop
the
Flux
thereof
:
And
this
a
worthy
experienced
Friend
of
mine
did
use
to
do
,
if
at
any
time
such
a
sudden
Accident
did
happen
.
Of
the
Vines
.
This
Distemper
proceedeth
from
the
Corruption
of
Blood
:
The
Cure
is
,
Draw
them
with
a
hot
Iron
right-down
the
midst
,
from
the
Root
of
the
Ear
so
far
as
the
Tip
of
the
Ear
will
reach
being
pulled
down
,
and
again
under
the
Root
of
the
Ear
,
with
a
hot
Iron
draw
two
strikes
on
each
side
like
this
Figure
,
‡
;
then
in
the
midst
of
the
first
line
lance
them
with
a
Lancelet
or
Razor
,
taking
hold
of
the
Kernels
with
a
pair
of
Pinchers
,
but
beware
that
you
touch
them
not
with
your
bare
Fingers
;
pull
them
so
far
out
with
your
Pinchers
as
that
you
may
cut
the
Kernels
out
without
hurting
the
Vein
;
then
fill
the
Hole
full
of
Salt
.
Another
Cure
for
the
same
.
Take
Aegremony
,
Honey
,
and
Violet-Leafes
,
stamp
them
together
,
and
slit
the
Sinew
under
the
Ear
,
and
lay
a
Plaister
thereunto
two
or
three
days
.
For
the
Canker
in
the
Nose
.
This
proceeds
from
corrupt
Blood
,
and
consumed
Flesh
,
which
makes
it
raw
within
,
and
in
the
end
will
eat
the
Gristle
thereof
;
it
will
also
cause
the
Horse
to
bleed
at
the
Nose
,
and
to
yield
a
filthy
savour
.
The
Cure
is
,
take
of
green
Coperas
and
Allum
of
each
a
pound
,
and
of
white
Coperas
,
one
quarter
of
a
pound
,
boyl
these
in
a
Pottle
of
running
Water
●●il
it
●●●alf
consumed
,
then
take
it
off
,
and
put
into
it
half
a
part
of
Honey
,
hold
up
his
Head
with
a
staff
,
but
not
too
high
,
and
with
a
Squirt
,
squirt
the
Water
,
being
lukewarm
,
three
or
four
times
together
into
his
Nostrils
,
and
give
him
liberty
to
blow
out
the
filthy
matter
least
you
choak
him
;
and
with
a
Stick
and
a
Rag
wash
his
Nostrils
twice
a
day
until
he
be
whole
.
Another
Cure
for
the
same
.
If
you
see
the
Canker
be
of
great
heat
and
burning
in
the
Sore
,
with
exceeding
Pain
,
take
the
Juice
of
Purslane
,
Lettice
,
Sorrel
,
and
Night-shade
,
and
wash
the
Sore
with
a
fine
Clout
,
and
with
a
Squirt
,
wash
the
same
,
and
this
will
kill
it
.
For
the
Canker
of
the
Eyes
.
This
proceeds
from
the
Corruption
of
the
Blood
,
by
reason
whereof
you
shall
see
many
red
Pimples
both
within
and
without
the
Eye
,
and
through
Inflamation
the
Eye
will
look
red
,
and
be
full
of
Corruption
.
The
Cure
is
,
To
let
him
Blood
(
on
the
side
of
the
Neck
that
you
see
the
Eye
is
grieved
)
a
Pottle
or
more
,
if
you
see
the
Blood
very
foul
,
and
the
Inflamation
great
,
then
take
three
pints
of
fair
Water
,
and
Roch
Allum
,
and
green
Coperas
,
of
each
half
a
pound
,
and
of
white
Coperas
an
ounce
,
and
boil
them
until
half
be
consumed
,
then
once
a
day
,
being
made
warm
,
with
a
fine
Cloth
cleanse
the
Eye
,
so
that
it
look
raw
;
and
this
do
every
day
until
it
be
whole
.
For
the
Impostumes
in
the
Ear.
This
may
proceed
from
some
Blow
or
evil
Humours
:
The
Cure
is
,
Take
Powder
of
Linseed
,
and
of
Wheat-flower
,
of
each
half
a
pint
,
of
Hogs-grease
one
pound
,
warm
them
in
a
pot
on
the
fire
,
until
they
be
throughly
incorporated
,
by
continual
stirring
,
then
take
a
piece
of
white
Leather
,
somewhat
bigger
than
the
Impostumation
,
and
spread
it
,
being
very
warm
,
as
far
as
will
cover
the
swelling
,
and
renew
it
every
day
until
it
break
,
then
lance
it
,
so
as
the
Corruption
may
go
downward
,
and
tent
it
to
the
bottom
with
a
full
Tent
of
Flax
,
dipt
with
this
Ointment
following
:
Of
Melrosa●um
,
of
Oyl
of
Life
and
Turpentine
,
of
each
two
ounces
,
and
mingle
them
throughly
,
then
make
him
a
Biggin
of
Canvas
to
close
in
the
Sore
,
so
as
the
Tent
and
Ointment
may
abide
within
,
renewing
it
every
day
once
until
it
be
whole
;
but
if
the
pain
be
in
the
Ears
without
any
great
swelling
,
which
may
be
only
with
Cold
,
then
take
Blackwood
dipt
in
the
Oyl
of
Camomile
and
thrust
it
into
his
Ears
.
These
Infirmities
are
cured
by
this
Medicine
following
,
all
Light
Galls
,
to
skin
Sores
,
to
dry
up
Humours
.
First
,
bathe
the
Sore
place
with
hot
molten
Butter
;
then
strow
upon
it
the
Powder
of
Rosin
for
a
day
or
two
:
lastly
,
Take
a
spoonful
or
two
of
very
thick
Cream
,
and
with
the
Soot
of
a
Chimney
bring
it
to
a
very
thick
Paste
;
then
spread
it
upon
the
Sore
,
and
it
will
heal
,
dry
,
and
Skin
in
a
short
space
.
Of
the
Pole
Evil.
This
proceedeth
likewise
from
the
same
Causes
,
and
groweth
like
a
Fistula
betwixt
the
Ears
or
the
Nape
of
the
Neck
,
you
shall
perceive
it
by
the
swelling
;
if
it
be
not
broken
,
ripen
it
with
a
Plaister
of
white
Hogs-grease
,
as
tho'
you
would
scald
it
therewith
,
and
make
him
a
Biggin
to
keep
him
very
warm
,
and
renew
the
Plaister
twice
a
day
very
hot
and
it
will
ripen
the
sooner
;
then
where
it
is
softest
,
and
where
the
Corruption
may
best
issue
forth
,
with
a
round
hot
Iron
as
big
as
your
little-Finger
,
two
Inches
beneath
the
soft
place
,
thrust
it
upwards
,
so
as
the
point
of
the
Iron
may
come
forth
at
the
ripest
place
,
then
Tent
it
with
Flax
dipt
in
Hogs-grease
,
and
lay
also
a
Plaister
of
Hogs-grease
on
the
same
,
renewing
it
four
or
five
days
;
then
afterwards
take
half
a
pound
of
Turpentine
clean
washed
and
dry'd
from
the
Water
,
with
two
Yolks
of
Eggs
and
a
little
Sasfron
,
and
mingle
them
together
;
then
with
a
Quill
search
the
depth
of
the
Hole
,
and
tent
it
with
a
Sponge
so
big
as
the
Hole
to
the
bottom
,
and
so
thrust
it
with
a
Quill
into
the
Wound
to
the
bottom
,
and
a
warm
Plaister
of
Hogs-grease
to
cover
it
,
renewing
it
twice
a
day
;
but
when
the
swelling
ceaseth
use
no
Plaister
.
For
Impostumes
in
the
Ear.
This
proceeds
from
some
Blow
or
evil
Humours
.
The
Cure
is
,
●ake
a
Powder
of
Linseed
and
of
Wheat-flower
of

half
a

then
take
Black

For
the
Canker

.
This
proceeds
from

(
on
that
side
the
Neck
that

a
Pottle
or
more
;
if
you
see
the
Blood
very
foul
,
and
the
Inflamation
great
,
then
take
three
pints
of
fair
Water
,
and
of
Roch-Allum
and
Green
Coperas
of
each
half
a
pound
,
and
of
White-Coperas
an
ounce
,
and
boil
them
until
that
half
be
consumed
,
then
once
a
day
being
made
warm
,
with
a
fine
Cloth
cleanse
the
Eye
,
so
as
it
look
raw
;
and
this
do
every

until
it
be
whole
.
For
the
Haw
in
the
Eye
.
This
Distemper
is
known
unto
all
Farriers
;
no
doubt
but
it
is
ingendred
from
some
gross
Humour
descending
out
of
the
Head
:
the
Cure
thereof
is
,
to
pull
both
the
Eye-Lids
open
with
several
Threads
stitched
with
a
Needle
to
either
of
the
Lids
,
then
catch
hold
of
the
Hair
with
the
stich
of
another
Needle
and
Thread
,
and
pull
it
on
so
far
as
you
may
stay
it
with
your
Finger
,
to
the
intent
it
may
cut
all
round
to
the
breadth
of
a
Penny
,
and
leave
the
black
behind
,
for
by
cutting
away
so
much
of
the
fat
and
black
of
the
Eye
,
the
Horse
many
times
becomes
bleer-eyed
,
and
therefore
you
must
spare
the
Fat
which
is
the
wash
of
the
Eye
,
and
the
Film
,
wherein
the
Eye
groweth
,
but
cut
between
the
Film
,
and
the
Crush
,
and
then
squirt
in
a
little
White
wine
or
Beer
.
For
Lunatick
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
of
the
Moon
,
and
thereupon
most
Men
do
gather
that
his
Sight
is
good
or
bad
,
according
to
the
natural
Course
of
the
Moon
;
but
the
Truth
thereof
is
from
the
natural
Sight
of
the
Eye
,
which
is
a
blueish
Eye
or
Sight
;
and
all
Horses
that
are
so
sighted
,
after
extraordinary
Heat
and
Travel
,
will
be
blue
,
and
have
a
Film
overgrow
the
Sight
,
so
as
he
cannot
see
,
although
he
be
cured
,
but
upon
the
like
occasion
will
fall
blind
again
.
An
experienced
Friend
of
mine
always
cured
this
Disease
by
thrusting
Tu●ty
into
the
Eyes
with
his
Finger
:
But
if
you
lay
upon
the
Temples
of
his
Head
a
Plaister
of
Pitch
,
Rosin
,
and
Mastick
,
and
then
with
a
sharp
Knife
make
two
slits
on
both
sides
of
his
head
an
inch
long
,
somewhat
towards
the
Nose
,
a
handful
beneath
the
Eyes
,
not
touching
the
Vein
,
and
with
a
Cronet
loose
the
Skin
upwards
,
the
breadth
of
a
Groat
,
and
thrust
therein
a
round
piece
of
Leather
,
as
broad
as
a
two-penny
piece
,
with
a
hole
in
the
midst
,
to
keep
the
hole
open
;
and
look
to
it
once
a
day
,
that
the
Matter
may
not
be
stopped
,
but
run
ten
or
eleven
days
,
then
heal
it
with
Turpentine
,
Hogs-grease
,
and
Wax
boyled
together
,
with
Flax
dipped
in
it
,
and
take
not
the
Plaisters
off
till
they
fall
away
;
then
burn
him
with
a
small
hot
drawing
Iron
,
made
like
a
Star
,
with
a
hole
in
the
midst
in
each
Temple-Vein
where
the
Plaister
did
lye
,
in
this
manner
**
:
and
if
this
help
not
,
set
him
to
Cart
:
Beware
you
breed
no
Colts
of
Horses
that
are
so
●●ed
,
for
upon
every
hard
Travel
they
will
be
blind
.
These
Infirmities
are
cured
by
this
following
Medicine
;
All
Wounds
in
general
,
all
Sinews
cut
,
all
Wounds
with
sbot
,
burning
with
Lime
,
Mad-dog
biting
,
Foundring
,
Fretizing
,
Surbaiting
,
all
loose
Hoofs
,
casting
of
the
Hoof
,
Hoof-bound
.
Take
of
Turpentine
,
Wax
,
Hogs-grease
,
of
each
a
like
quantity
;
first
melt
the
yellow
Wax
and
Hogs-grease
,
upon
a
soft
fire
;
then
take
it
off
,
and
dissolve
the
Turpentine
into
it
,
and
stir
it
very
well
together
;
then
put
it
into
a
Gally-pot
and
let
it
cool
;
and
with
this
Salve
tent
or
plaister
any
Wound
or
Sore
,
and
it
will
heal
it
.
Also
with
the
same
anoint
the
Cronets
of
the
Horses
Hoofs
,
and
putting
Wheat-bran
unto
it
,
it
being
boyled
hot
,
stop
your
Horse●
Feet
therewith
,
in
case
either
of
Founder
,
of
Frettize
,
Surbait
,
or
such
like
Infirmities
.
For
the
Staggers
.
The
Cause
of
this
Disease
is
,
for
that
the
Brain
and
the
Stomack
are
united
and
chained
together
with
certain
Sinews
,
and
thereby
interchangeably
communicate
their
damages
,
so
as
when
the
Stomack
is
oppressed
with
the
gross
and
tough
Humours
,
or
some
strong
Vapours
,
as
when
the
Horse
hath
eat
some
strong
Herb
,
as
the
wild
Parsnips
,
or
such
like
,
by
the
strong
vapouring
Spirits
proceeding
out
of
the
Stomack
to
the
Brain
,
oppressing
the
same
,
as
the
strong
vaporous
Spirit
of
Wine
,
Aquavltae
,
and
such
like
,
do
the
brain
of
Man
,
he
is
dizzy
,
and
reeleth
as
if
he
were
drunk
;
at
the
first
he
doth
only
reel
and
stagger
as
if
his
Back
were
swayed
,
and
will
eat
his
Meat
,
but
afterwards
he
will
forsake
it
,
and
not
be
able
to
stand
.
The
Cure
is
,
let
him
blood
in
the
Temple-Veins
,
one
handful
under
the
Eyes
,
then
take
Garlick
,
Herb-grace
,
a
little
Leaven
and
Bay-salt
,
stamp
them
together
,
and
then
put
thereinto
a
little
quantity
of
Aquavitae
,
and
put
it
into
the
Horse's
Ears
,
and
bind
them
close
,
and
so
let
it
remain
twenty
four
hours
,
and
wash
his
Tongue
with
Vinegar
and
Salt
;
let
him
not
drink
any
cold
Water
,
and
once
a
day
gently
walk
him
.
Another
for
the
same
.
Take
Bitter
Almonds
one
once

a
half

two

,
and

it
into
his
Ears
,
as
aforesaid
:
but
bind
them
with
a
Woollen
List
,
not
with
a
cutting
String
.
A
Soveraign
Medicine
called
the
Emperour
of
all
Medicines
concerning
Horses
.
Take
of
Wheat-meal
six
pounds
,
or
as
much
as
will
bring
all
the
Simples
following
to
a
stiff
Paste
:
of
A●i●eeds
two
ounces
,
of
Cummin-seed
six
drams
,
of
Carthamus
one
dram
and
a
half
,
of
Feaugreek-seed
one
ounce
and
two
drams
,
of
Brimstone
an
ounce
and
a
half
,
and
of
Sallet-Oyl
one
pint
and
two
ounces
,
of
Honey
one
pound
and
a
half
,
of
White-Wine
four
pints
;
and
all
this
must
be
made
into
a
very
stiff
Paste
,
the
hard
Simples
being
pounded
,
and
searsed
to
a
fine
Powder
,
and
so
mixed
with
the
sweet
Simples
:
After
this
Paste
is
made
,
it
must
be
kept
in
a
very
clean
Cloth
;
and
when
you
have
occasion
to
use
it
,
you
shall
take
thereof
as
much
as
will
make
a
round
Ball
as
big
as
a
Mans
Fist
;
and
this
Ball
you
shall
by
continual
washing
,
laving
,
and
squeezing
,
dissolve
into
a
Gallon
of
running
Water
,
to
give
it
the
Horse
to
drink
,
either
after
his
Heats
,
or
any
violent
Labour
or
Exercise
,
or
when
he
is
sick
,
poor
,
lean
,
or
inwardly
diseased
,
and
full
of
foul
Surfeits
;
and
then
you
shall
suffer
him
to
drink
thereof
as
much
and
often
as
he
pleaseth
;
the
Colour
of
the
Water
will
offend
him
to
take
it
,
therefore
at
the
first
offer
it
him
in
the
dark
,
of
which
when
he
hath
but
once
tasted
,
he
will
then
sorsake
all
.
Water
whatsoever
to
drink
of
this
only
.
Now
touching
the
Virtues
which
appertain
to
this
Medicine
,
they
are
these
:
First
,
if
your
Horse
be
never
so
poor
,
lean
,
surfeited
,
and
diseased
,
if
you
give
your
Horse
of
this
Water
with
the
Ball
dissolved
in
it
as
aforesaid
,
it
will
in
fourteen
days
not
only
cleanse
and
scoure
him
,
but
also
purifie
the
Blood
,
enliven
and
quicken
him
in
a
wonderful
manner
.
Secondly
,
it
will
be
a
means
to
prevent
any
Sickness
for
a
long
time
.
Thirdly
and
Lastly
,
●t
will
make
him
continue
in
good
Case
,
feed
lustily
,
and
●gain
Flesh
apace
,
though
before
he
was
very
Lean.
A
safe
Purge
to
prevent
Sickness
.
Take
a
quarter
of
a
pound
of
red
Saunders
,
and
the
like
quantity
of
fresh
Butter
,
make
them
up
,
and
give
them
as
the
former
;
or
Rosemary
Leafs
bruised
and
mixed
with
Butter
or
green
Figs
,
so
ordered
;
and
let
those
that
undertake
the
Cure
of
Horses
,
observe
particularly
these
five
things
:
-
1.
To
what
Diseases
Horses
are
inclinable
.
-
2.
From
what
Cause
they
proceed
.
-
3.
By
what
means
the
Causes
do
accrue
.
-
4.
The
Tokens
by
which
any
Distemper
is
known
.
-
5.
And
how
to
apply
apt
and
seasonable
Remedies
.
For
the
Cramp
,
or
Convulsion
of
the
Sinews
.
The
cause
of
this
Disease
,
is
over
much
Fulness
,
or
very
great
Eating
and
Feeding
,
much
Rest
,
want
of
moderate
Exercise
;
or
by
over-much
Bleeding
,
extream
Labour
,
or
extream
Cold.
That
which
proceeds
from
great
Fulness
and
Rest
,
comes
suddenly
.
That
which
comes
by
Emptiness
,
or
Penury
,
goes
on
by
little
and
little
.
I
have
seen
a
Horse
had
his
Head
awry
,
and
Neck
so
stiff
,
as
if
he
could
not
bow
any
manner
of
way
,
nor
the
strength
of
Men
open
his
Jaws
,
or
Mouth
,
without
breaking
of
them
:
His
Eyes
hollow
in
his
Head
,
and
the
fleshy
parts
thereof
turned
backwards
:
His
Tongue
so
henumed
,
that
he
could
not
eat
nor
drink
,
but
by
sucking
of
his
drink
by
little
and
little
,
with
his
Lips
:
All
which
came
by
a
full
and
foul
Feeding
,
and
too
much
Rest
;
b●ing
,
notwithstanding
,
exceeding
Fat
when
he
Dy'd
.
The
cure
of
this
Disease
is
,
to
take
a
great
quantity
of
Blood
from
him
;
rake
him
behind
,
and
give
him
a
Glister
of
Mallows
,
Cammomile
and
Fennel
,
boyled
in
Milk
.
How
to
order
him
after
this
,
for
the
Recovery
of
his
Limbs
,
&c.
Let
him
be
rubbed
by
two
or
three
lusty
strong
Men
,
and
keep
him
in
a
very
warm
Room
;
then
take
two
quarts
of
strong
Ale
,
and
two
pound
of
black
Soap
,
and
boyl
them
together
till
they
look
like
Tar
,
and
anoint
and
rub
all
his
Body
therewith
,
so
as
that
it
may
drink
it
in
;
then
Cloath
him
,
and
stuff
his
Head
and
Neck
close
,
and
all
the
parts
of
his
Body
,
to
bring
him
into
a
great
Sweat
;
give
him
a
pint
of
White-wine
,
two
ounces
of
Alloes
,
and
half
an
ounce
of
Agarick
infused
therein
,
beaten
small
,
putting
therein
three
spoonfuls
of
clarified
Hogs-grease
;
and
,
if
that
will
not
do
,
give
him
every
day
a
Glister
;
keep
him
warm
,
and
well
rubbed
;
then
give
him
small
Ale
to
drink
,
wherein
Mallows
and
Liquorish
have
been
boiled
;
let
his
Diet
be
small
,
but
sweet
and
good
.
For
a
cold
in
the
Head
.
The
cause
hereof
,
proceeds
from
some
Heat
,
or
standing
too
much
still
;
or
from
having
some
Air
piercing
his
Head
when
he
is
hot
;
or
from
some
Humours
congealed
after
long
Rest
,
and
full
Feeding
;
or
through
his
wanting
of
moderate
Exercise
to
expell
the
same
.
The
Signs
are
,
a
continual
distilling
Rheum
,
waterish
Eyes
,
or
his
short
drawing
of
Breath
at
the
Nostrils
,
when
the
Canes
and
the
Passages
of
the
Breath
are
stopped
.
The
Cure
is
,
Put
upon
his
Head
a
double
Hood
,
and
every
Morning
when
he
is
Fasting
,
ride
him
;
take
two
Goose
Feathers
dipp'd
in
Oyl
of
Bay
,
and
thrust
them
up
into
his
Nostrils
;
through
the
ends
whereof
,
with
a
Needle
,
put
two
Threads
,
to
fasten
the
same
to
the
Head-stall
,
so
as
the
Feathers
cannot
fall
out
;
and
to
the
Snaffle
or
Bit
,
that
he
is
ridden
with
,
fasten
a
root
or
two
of
Polypodium
of
the
Oak
,
which
hath
been
steeped
all
Night
in
Spike
Oyl
,
and
every
time
you
ride
him
,
anoint
the
same
with
the
said
Oyl
;
and
when
he
cometh
home
,
put
on
his
Head
the
double
Hood
,
and
Perfume
him
hot
with
Frankincense
,
casting
a
Cloath
over
his
Head
.
Use
him
thus
nine
days
together
,
and
give
him
warm
Water
,
or
good
Mashes
,
during
the
said
nine
days
;
for
all
Rheums
having
continuance
,
are
dangerous
,
and
many
times
(
having
continuance
)
Remediless
,
and
leave
behind
them
a
worse
Disease
than
themselves
.
These
Infirmities
are
cured
by
the
Medicine
following
.
The
Poll-Evil
:
The
swelling
after
Blood-letting
:
The
Weathers
hurt
;
galled
Backs
:
Sit-fasts
:
The
Navel-Gall
:
Fistula's
:
Biteing
with
Venomous
Beasts
,
or
Worms
.
For
any
of
these
filthy
Impostumations
,
Galls
,
or
Swellings
,
you
may
take
the
Earth-loam
of
a
Mud-wall
,
which
hath
no
Lime
in
it
,
but
only
Earth
,
Straw
,
or
Litter
,
and
you
shall
boil
it
in
strong
Wine-Vinegar
,
till
it
become
very
thick
,
like
a
Poultess
;
then
,
being
very
hot
,
apply
it
to
the
Sore
,
renewing
it
once
in
Twelve
or
Twenty
four
hours
;
and
it
will
not
only
ripen
and
break
it
,
but
also
Draw
it
,
Search
it
,
and
Heal
it
most
perfectly
;
as
Experience
will
manifest
.
For
the
Glaunders
.
The
original
cause
of
this
Disease
,
is
the
Rheum
,
which
being
an
aboundant
Moisture
,
and
naturally
very
cold
,
at
length
congealeth
,
(
according
to
the
nature
of
Cold
)
and
then
proceedeth
to
Kernels
,
and
so
to
Inflamations
;
which
become
so
great
in
the
end
,
that
they
seem
to
strangle
and
stop
the
breath
of
the
Horse
;
from
whence
he
is
said
to
have
the
Strangles
;
and
by
continuance
of
time
,
the
same
perish
either
the
Liver
or
the
Lungs
,
by
a
continual
distilling
of
putrify'd
and
corrupt
Matter
:
The
Signs
are
apparent
to
every
Man
that
hath
Sight
,
and
the
diversity
or
Medicines
,
infinite
.
The
beginning
always
of
this
Disease
,
is
taking
of
Cold
,
after
too
much
Heat
;
the
which
cannot
be
avoided
from
a
Horse
that
hath
full
Feeding
,
and
great
Rest
;
more
especially
,
if
his
Diet
be
naught
;
or
by
the
use
of
continual
Travel
upon
a
full
Stomach
;
or
,
before
his
Body
be
made
clean
after
long
rest
;
for
the
standing
Pool
is
ever
Muddy
.
The
Cure
is
,
First
,
Clear
his
Head
,
as
is
prescribed
for
the
Cold
of
the
Head
,
in
every
part
,
(
if
he
be
able
to
be
Rid
or
Walked
)
that
he
may
receive
Breath
;
then
give
him
this
Drink
:
Take
a
pint
of
Malmsey
,
and
six
penny-worth
of
the
best
Treacle
,
and
a
quarter
of
a
pint
of
sweet
fresh
Butter
;
then
presently
rub
him
under
the
Jaws
with
plenty
of
Hogs
Grease
,
and
leave
it
thick
anointed
;
then
make
him
this
Poultis
:
Take
two
handfuls
of
Mallows
,
a
handful
of
Wormwood
,
as
much
Rue
,
and
as
much
Smallage
;
a
quart
of
Wheat-bran
,
and
a
quart
of
Hogs-grease
,
boil
them
together
,
and
stir
them
continually
in
the
boiling
,
untill
the
Hogs-grease
be
almost
consumed
;
and
being
as
hot
as
may
be
suffered
,
bind
it
under
his
Jaws
and
Thropel
,
and
wrap
all
his
Head
very
warm
,
leaving
Air
for
his
Mouth
and
Nostrils
;
then
Air
him
again
with
Frankincense
,
and
keep
him
warm
in
the
Stable
,
and
so
let
him
rest
with
that
Poultis
twenty
four
hours
:
The
next
Morning
give
him
a
quart
of
the
best
New-Ale
,
with
a
spoonful
of
the
Powder
of
Liquorish
,
and
Aniseeds
,
and
a
good
piece
of
Butter
,
blood
warm
;
then
rub
his
Nostrils
with
a
clout
bound
to
the
end
of
the
Stick
,
well
anointed
with
Oyl
of
Bay
and
Butter
;
then
remove
the
Poultis
;
and
if
you
find
the
Kernels
and
Inflammation
to
be
very
soft
,
Lance
them
through
,
and
stop
the
holes
full
of
Hogs-grease
and
Turpentine
,
boiled
hot
together
,
and
soft
Tow
boiled
therein
;
then
warm
some
of
your
Poultis
and
bind
it
on
,
as
before
,
but
not
altogether
so
hot
,
and
so
let
it
remain
untill
the
next
day
.
How
to
order
the
Horse
after
this
,
for
a
perfect
Cure
.
Keep
his
Head
warm
,
as
before
.
If
he
will
eat
,
give
him
clean
sweet
Oats
,
steeped
in
New-Ale
,
or
Maimsey
,
if
he
will
eat
them
;
and
Wheat
straw
,
but
no
Hay
:
Give
him
no
cold
Water
for
nine
days
,
but
good
Mashes
,
if
he
will
take
them
:
Keep
him
in
a
spare
Diet
,
and
every
day
,
g●ntly
walk
or
ride
him
,
if
he
be
able
;
then
keep
him
warm
after
it
;
and
if
it
be
possible
,
let
him
sweat
every
day
a
little
,
and
after
rub
him
very
dry
,
and
let
him
not
drink
in
his
sweat
.
In
his
Provender
,
Take
of
the
root
of
white
Lilly
,
of
the
root
of
Enula
Campana
,
and
of
the
root
of
Polypodium
of
the
Oak
,
very
finely
cut
or
chopped
,
the
quantity
of
two
Spoonfuls
,
every
Morning
that
you
give
him
Provender
,
and
be
sure
that
he
be
hungry
and
eager
of
Provender
when
you
give
it
him
,
and
so
continue
for
Nine
days
;
and
besure
that
you
keep
him
very
hungry
,
and
(
as
hath
been
said
)
with
spare
Diet.
At
the
Nine
days
end
,
give
him
his
purging
Drink
:
Take
a
quart
of
White-Wine
,
or
of
strong
Alewort
,
an
ounce
and
an
half
of
Alloes
,
beaten
into
Powder
;
half
an
ounce
of
Agarick
;
two
spoonfuls
of
the
Powder
of
the
Root
of
Enula
Campana
;
three
spoonfuls
of
Honey
;
brew
them
well
together
,
give
it
him
blood-warm
;
and
keep
him
warm
:
Within
six
days
after
,
let
him
blood
,
and
if
it
be
good
,
take
but
a
quart
;
but
if
very
bad
,
take
two
quarts
at
least
.
After
this
,
use
him
both
in
Feeding
and
Labour
,
moderately
,
and
he
will
afterwards
be
in
perfect
Health
.
The
Mourning
of
the
Chine
,
its
Cause
and
Cure
.
The
Cause
hereof
,
is
great
Heat
,
and
afterwards
taking
of
Cold
:
And
,
First
,
It
beginneth
with
Rheum
;
then
the
Glaunders
;
and
afterwards
the
Mourning
of
the
Chine
;
(
●s
it
is
usually
termed
)
but
more
truly
and
essentially
,
it
beginneth
with
the
Rheum
,
which
proceedeth
to
Inflammation
of
the
Liver
and
the
Lungs
,
by
continual
distilling
upon
them
;
then
to
the
Glaunders
,
which
is
the
Imposthumation
thereof
;
and
lastly
,
to
an
Exalaration
,
which
abruptly
,
and
untruly
,
is
called
the
Mourning
of
the
Chine
.
The
Signs
to
know
the
Disease
,
are
these
:
1.
The
continual
distilling
of
Rheum
in
the
Head
.
2.
The
continuing
Knobs
betwixt
the
Jaws
.
3.
The
keeping
of
his
Hair
without
casting
.
4.
The
continual
running
of
thick
stinking
Matter
at
the
Nose
.
5.
The
fastning
and
growing
of
a
knob
as
big
as
a
Walnut
,
to
the
inside
of
one
of
the
Jaws
;
which
if
so
,
commit
his
Carkass
to
the
Crows
,
for
he
is
past
all
help
.
The
Cure
for
such
a
Horse
as
may
be
curable
,
is
to
follow
these
Directions
.
For
the
First
,
which
is
Rheum
,
the
cure
I
have
mentioned
for
the
Cold
in
the
Head
.
For
the
Second
,
which
is
a
congealed
substance
,
gathered
into
two
knobs
betwixt
the
Jaws
,
it
is
cured
as
the
Glaunders
.
For
the
Third
,
which
is
k●eping
still
his
Winter
Coat
,
and
not
casting
off
his
Hair
,
let
him
Blood
often
,
until
you
see
that
he
hath
pure
and
fine
Blood
,
and
give
him
good
Mashes
,
made
very
strong
with
Malt
;
and
put
in
his
Provender
,
Polypodium
of
the
Oak
,
small
cut
;
the
root
of
the
White
Lilly
,
small
cut
,
of
each
a
good
quantity
,
if
he
will
eat
;
and
shred
in
also
,
a
quantity
of
Liverwort
;
and
,
if
he
be
a
Horse
of
value
,
at
every
time
,
a
six
penny
weight
of
Rubarb
;
and
every
Morning
,
being
Fasting
,
give
him
a
pint
of
the
Drink
prescribed
for
the
preservation
of
the
Lungs
,
and
keep
him
only
with
Wheat-straw
,
(
but
not
Hay
)
and
old
sweet
and
clean
Oats
.
The
manner
of
Ordering
him
after
this
.
Every
Morning
,
after
he
hath
taken
that
clean
Drink
,
ride
him
two
or
three
Miles
.
For
the
Fourth
,
which
is
the
thick
running
at
the
Nose
,
continually
clear
his
Head
,
as
hath
been
prescribed
for
the
Cold
in
the
Head
;
and
so
in
every
part
,
as
the
rest
are
prescribed
,
only
adding
of
purging
Drinks
;
viz.
After
all
these
prescribed
Orders
,
give
him
two
several
Mornings
,
a
pint
of
White-Wine
,
an
ounce
and
an
half
of
Alloes
,
half
an
ounce
of
Agarick
,
two
drams
of
Liquorish
and
Aniseeds
,
and
a
spoonful
of
pure
Hogs-grease
,
warmed
and
well
dissolved
together
;
and
after
he
hath
Purged
,
the
next
day
let
him
Bleed
in
both
the
Breast-Veins
,
the
quantity
of
a
quart
,
and
still
keep
him
with
good
Mashes
,
and
moderate
Travel
:
Give
him
every
Morning
fasting
,
for
Nine
days
after
,
a
pint
of
that
Drink
which
I
prescribed
for
the
clearing
of
the
Lungs
.
For
the
Fifth
,
If
you
find
no
amendment
,
but
a
knob
grown
to
his
Jaw
,
then
you
must
give
him
a
Purge
with
Pills
,
as
I
have
prescribed
;
and
if
that
help
him
not
,
then
without
all
doubt
,
he
is
Remediless
.
These
following
things
are
most
excellent
to
put
into
Horses
Provender
,
to
preserve
them
from
Diseases
.
The
Powder
of
Wo●lfs
Liver
;
the
Powder
of
Enula
Campana
;
the
Powder
of
Polypodium
of
the
Oak
;
fine
cut
pieces
of
Ruburb
;
the
Powder
of
Brimstone
,
made
fine
;
the
Powder
of
Liquorish
;
Aniseeds
,
Fenugreek
,
Turmerick
,
Bay-berries
,

,
Agrimony
,
Cammomile
,

,
Saven
,

,

,
Parsley
,

,
Hysop
,
Colts-foot
,
Horehound
,
and
such
l●ke
.
Broken
Wind
,
the
Cause
.
The
Causes
why
a
Horse
draws
his
Breath
very
short
,
may
be
many
;
as
Sickness
,
great
Fulness
,
or
violent
Exercise
:
But
the
reason
of
the
cause
is
,
For
that
the
Heart
being
the
only
hottest
part
of
the
Body
,
from
whence
the
Arteries
and
Veins
do
carry
the
heat
thereof
to
every
part
of
the
Body
;
(
and
therefore
't
is
truly
said
,
to
be
the
Chariot
of
Life
)
when
that
by
Sickness
,
Fulness
,
or
vio●ence
of
Exercise
,
is
choaked
,
and
as
it
were
,
smothered
with
great
heat
,
then
do
the
Lights
,
being
the
Bellows
to
draw
Breath
,
according
to
that
Office
that
Nature
hath
or●ained
them
unto
,
presently
labour
with
all
Violence
,
to
draw
it
,
to
cool
and
comfort
the
Heart
,
and
so
consequent●y
,
all
the
Members
and
parts
of
the
Body
,
to
fill
all
the
●mpty
corners
with
Air
,
which
naturally
and
in
predomi●ant
Qualities
,
is
moist
;
and
when
they
have
drawn
suf●cient
Breath
,
the
driness
and
heat
,
by
the
moisture
of
the
Air
,
is
quenched
;
which
being
so
,
then
doth
the
Creature
●raw
Breath
leisurely
and
coldly
,
and
not
before
;
but
so
●ong
as
the
Heart
is
oppressed
by
the
violent
heat
of
Sick●ess
,
or
by
great
Fulness
,
or
violent
Exercise
,
the
Canes
,
Pipes
,
and
Passages
for
the
Breath
,
are
almost
stopped
●nd
choaked
up
;
then
do
the
Lungs
labour
very
extream
●●ick
,
to
preserve
the
life
of
the
Creature
,
which
is
the
Heart
;
and
therefore
it
is
said
to
be
the
first
thing
that
Li●eth
,
and
the
last
that
Dieth
.
And
to
make
the
same
a
lit●e
plainer
,
Observe
a
Horse
that
is
Broken-winded
,
(
as
●he
usual
term
is
)
and
you
shall
find
,
that
he
setcheth
his
●reath
much
shorter
,
when
he
is
kept
in
the
Stable
only
with
dry
Meat
,
than
when
he
goeth
to
Grass
;
and
the
●nly
reason
is
,
the
coldness
of
the
moist
Food
,
which
●epeth
the
Heart
and
all
the
Body
in
coolness
,
because
●●e
Humours
that
proceed
from
the
digesture
of
Grass
,
are
●ool
and
moist
,
according
to
the
natural
qualities
of
Grass
●nd
raw
Herbs
.
For
a
broken
Wind
;
the
Cure
.
Take
the
Dung
of
a
Boar
dried
to
Powder
,
a
spoonful
;
Diapenthe
,
two
ounces
;
the
juice
of
Spanish
Liquorish
dissolved
,
an
ounce
,
in
a
quarter
of
a
pint
of
Ale
;
put
these
into
a
pint
of
new
Milk
,
and
give
it
him
warm
fasting
;
repeat
it
for
five
or
six
Mornings
,
and
ride
him
a
gentle
pace
after
it
,
if
the
Weather
be
warm
,
or
any
ways
seasonable
,
without
letting
him
water
,
or
eat
any
thing
;
then
put
him
into
a
warm
Stable
,
give
him
a
Mash
of
Oats
and
split
Beans
,
and
keep
him
clean
Littered
,
and
free
from
any
noisom
Scents
:
And
the
Lungs
by
this
means
,
as
also
the
Wind
pipe
,
being
cleansed
,
the
Breath
by
degrees
,
if
you
do
not
over
labour
,
heat
,
or
ride
him
in
too
much
rainy
Weather
,
will
return
to
its
former
easie
and
moderate
Breathings
.
A
most
Soveraign
Drink
to
preserve
a
Horse's
Lungs
and
Liver
clear
;
the
most
excelling
Knowledge
in
a
Horseman
or
Farrier
.
Take
the
Tartar
of
White-Wine
Lees
(
which
is
no
other
than
the
Lees
of
White-Wine
dried
to
Powder
)
an
ounce
and
a
half
,
of
Isop
two
handfuls
,
of
Colts-foot
two
handfuls
,
of
Horehound
one
handful
,
of
Enula
Campana-Roots
an
ounce
,
four
Liquorish-sticks
bruised
,
Aniseeds
an
ounce
,
Red
Sugar-candy
four
ounces
,
boyl
them
all
in
a
quart
of
Ale
;
and
when
it
is
half
boyled
,
put
to
it
of
Hysop-water
twice
Distilled
,
one
pint
,
boyl
them
again
,
then
strain
it
,
and
give
it
him
very
warm
to
drink
;
the
charge
hereof
is
very
small
.
If
you
have
a
delicate
Horse
,
and
have
Cleared
him
,
and
Dieted
him
,
(
for
I
would
not
have
the
Master
to
be
at
any
extraordinary
Charge
with
a
Jade
)
then
every
Morning
that
you
shall
Hunt
him
,
or
Exercise
him
,
give
him
Fasting
,
a
pint
of
this
Drink
,
and
so
continue
him
,
until
you
find
him
clean
and
in
perfect
Breath
.
The
Lungs
most
principally
ought
to
be
kept
clean
,
as
they
continually
draw
fresh
Air
to
them
,
filling
all
the
empty
corners
with
Moistness
;
and
that
is
the
reason
why
Horses
are
broken
winded
,
because
the
Lungs
are
imperfect
to
do
their
Office
.
And
likewise
your
broken-wined
Horses
,
when
they
are
kept
only
with
a
dry
sort
of
Meat
,
do
draw
their
Breath
much
shorter
than
when
they
go
to
Grass
,
because
Grass
is
naturally
Cold
and
Moist
;
and
thereby
his
Heart
being
the
more
cold
,
the
Horse
draweth
his
Breath
much
better
,
and
more
at
length
:
But
if
the
Horse
be
clear
,
empty
,
and
sound
in
Body
,
then
doth
he
always
draw
his
Breath
alike
:
From
which
ground
of
Reason
,
three
things
may
be
collected
and
observed
:
The
First
is
,
That
the
Horse's
Head
be
kept
clear
from
all
Obstructions
,
(
the
which
evermore
cometh
of
Cold
)
which
greatly
hindereth
the
drawing
of
Breath
in
the
Body
.
Secondly
,
That
the
Skin
of
the
Horse
be
kept
clear
and
open
,
to
draw
Breath
at
the
Pores
of
the
Skin
into
the
Body
.
Thirdly
,
That
the
Canales
Pulmonis
,
the
Pipes
or
Lanes
of
the
Lungs
,
be
not
opilated
or
stopped
through
viscuous
Phlegm
,
or
tough
Humours
,
like
Bird-lime
,
or
with
Imposthumation
in
the
Pipes
,
and
so
become
Putrified
;
every
one
of
which
,
in
continuance
of
time
,
will
destroy
the
Horse
.
Of
the
Signs
of
the
inward
Sicknesses
of
Horses
.
To
know
the
true
Signs
of
the
Sicknesses
:
If
they
proceed
from
the
first
occasion
,
which
is
Heat
,
then
the
Signs
are
these
,
First
,
heaviness
of
Countenance
,
swelling
in
the
Limbs
,
Scowring
,
or
Looseness
of
the
Body
,
in
the
beginning
of
the
Sic●ness
;
and
Driness
,
or
Costiveness
in
the
latter
end
;
short
Breath
and
hot
,
with
a
loathing
and
forsaking
of
his
Me●●
.
If
it
proceed
from
the
second
occasion
,
which
is
Col●
,
then
the
Signs
are
also
heaviness
of
Counteran●e
;
either
dull
,
or
else
closed
up
Eyes
;
hard
Bo●●s
o●
big
●ustles
betwixt
the
Chops
and
the
root
of
th●
Tongue
;
and
sometimes
a
hard
swelling
up
from
the
Chops
to
the
roots
of
the
Ear
;
a
rotten
and
moist
Cough
,
the
Horse
ever
chewing
some
loose
filthy
Phlegmatick
Matter
in
his
Mouth
,
after
his
Coughing
,
which
in
one
respect
is
no
evil
Sign
,
because
it
sheweth
a
rotten
Cold
that
is
but
newly
gotten
,
and
soon
to
be
cleansed
;
whereas
,
to
cough
clear
and
hollow
,
and
not
to
chew
after
it
,
shews
a
dry
Cold
,
that
is
of
long
continuance
,
sore
,
festered
,
and
hard
to
be
recovered
.
Lastly
,
His
Body
will
fall
away
,
and
when
he
drinketh
Water
,
it
will
issue
forth
at
his
Nostrils
;
his
Eyes
will
be
ever
mattery
and
running
,
and
his
Hair
rough
and
stirring
.
If
it
proceed
from
the
Third
occasion
,
which
is
the
Surfeit
of
Meat
and
Drink
,
either
natural
,
or
un-natural
,
then
the
Signs
are
these
:
First
,
Heaviness
of
Head
and
Countenance
,
in
such
a
violent
manner
,
that
the
Horse
can
hardly
lift
his
Head
from
the
Manger
;
a
dull
and
dead
Eye
;
a
staggering
and
reeling
Pace
,
and
(
if
the
Disease
be
far
grown
)
a
frantick
and
mad
Behaviour
,
as
biting
the
Rack
and
Manger
,
and
at
such
as
shall
come
about
him
;
sometimes
biting
at
himself
,
and
beating
his
Head
against
the
Wall
,
Boards
,
or
Ground
,
and
other
frantick
Passions
:
But
if
the
Disease
be
less
contagious
in
the
Brain
,
but
more
inwardly
settled
at
the
Heart
,
then
the
Signs
are
Yellows
in
the
Whites
of
the
Eyes
,
and
in
the
inside
of
both
the
upper
and
the
neather
Lips
;
(
if
the
Disease
be
far
gone
)
then
a
Yellows
over
all
the
Skin
,
and
a
continual
faint
Sweat
doth
break
forth
:
And
therefore
by
all
means
remember
,
that
tho'
the
alteration
of
Colours
is
unnatural
,
yet
withal
you
must
understand
,
that
it
is
not
so
in
all
cases
:
If
the
Dapple-gray
,
in
process
of
time
,
turn
to
White
;
the
dark
Iron-gray
,
to
a
bright
colour
;
the
Black
,
to
an
Iron-gray
,
and
such
like
,
that
this
is
a
natural
,
and
no
unnatural
alteration
,
and
so
no
signs
of
Sickness
:
And
therefore
not
to
be
deceived
at
all
,
or
to
be
doubtful
,
acquaint
your self
with
the
true
colour
and
complexion
of
your
Horse
,
which
you
shall
best
discern
when
he
is
at
the
pride
and
hight
of
Lust
;
when
he
is
wanten
,
proud
of
flesh
,
and
smooth
,
sleek
,
shining
:
And
when
you
shall
see
this
Complexion
alter
in
part
,
or
all
,
then
ever
expect
some
Sickness
.
As
you
thus
acquaint
your self
with
the
Complexion
of
your
Horse
,
which
I
include
in
the
Colours
,
so
you
must
also
have
a
settled
knowledge
of
his
Countenance
and
Gesture
;
and
to
that
end
,
you
must
be
careful
to
mark
and
note
them
,
in
all
his
Actions
and
Motions
,
as
well
within
doors
as
without
,
as
well
in
his
play
,
as
in
his
rest
;
at
his
times
of
Feeding
,
and
at
his
times
of
Exercise
:
You
shall
note
the
cheerfulness
of
his
Eye
,
the
carriage
of
his
Head
and
Neck
;
which
are
his
angry
Characters
,
and
which
be
his
pleasant
;
and
when
he
biteth
for
Wantonness
,
or
Offence
:
And
these
you
shall
best
find
out
in
his
Feeding
,
in
his
Exercise
and
Playing
in
his
Dressing
;
and
if
at
any
time
you
find
any
of
these
Characters
fail
on
a
sudden
,
and
that
his
Gesture
is
more
lumpish-heavy
,
then
call
your self
to
an
account
of
what
you
have
done
,
either
in
Exercise
,
Feeding
,
Airing
,
or
Ordering
;
for
there
is
no
doubt
but
there
is
Distemperature
and
Sickness
approaching
,
if
it
be
not
prevented
.
Observations
to
be
taken
from
the
Horse's
Feeding
and
Dung
,
as
to
the
State
of
his
Body
,
&c.
Having
thus
acquainted
your self
with
Complexion
and
Countenance
of
your
Horse
,
so
you
must
also
not
be
ignorant
,
but
observe
divers
other
outward
and
inward
Qualities
,
for
they
are
the
greatest
Light
that
can
be
,
both
to
Health
and
Sickness
;
and
to
this
end
,
you
shall
especially
mark
his
Filling
and
his
Emptying
;
that
is
,
his
manner
of
feeding
,
and
the
manner
of
discharging
his
Body
.
In
his
feeding
,
whether
he
eats
with
a
good
Apperite
,
or
a
weak
Stomach
:
The
first
is
Healthful
,
the
latter
unwholsoma
:
For
if
he
eat
with
a
good
Appetite
,
he
will
Neigh
and
call
for
his
Meat
before
it
come
:
when
either
he
seeth
his
Keeper
,
or
a
preparation
for
feeding
,
as
sifting
the
Oats
,
chipping
of
the
Bread
,
or
the
like
;
he
will
receive
it
cheerfully
and
greedily
,
shaking
his
Head
,
and
shewing
other
signs
of
alacrity
and
rejoycing
;
which
Qualities
after
he
hath
used
,
if
on
the
sudden
he
refrain
,
and
so
receiye
his
Meat
dully
and
unpleasantly
,
it
is
a
great
sign
of
Sickness
.
As
in
his
feeding
,
so
you
shall
mark
his
Qualities
in
emptying
;
as
,
the
time
,
the
place
,
the
substance
.
The
time
,
as
whether
he
emptyeth
in
the
night
time
better
than
in
the
day
:
The
place
where
he
emptyeth
,
better
in
the
House
,
or
Abroad
;
or
when
you
are
Mounted
,
whether
before
you
begin
Exercise
,
or
else
after
some
gentle
motion
,
or
stirring
;
whether
at
the
Stable-door
,
or
at
some
unusual
places
by
the
way
,
or
in
the
ground
where
you
give
him
his
Exercise
.
Lastly
,
For
the
substance
,
whether
it
be
much
or
little
;
if
it
be
much
,
you
must
forbear
Exercise
,
and
make
him
empty
the
oftener
;
if
it
be
little
,
then
you
may
fall
to
labour
at
pleasure
:
Whether
it
be
good
or
bad
,
and
that
commonly
falleth
out
according
to
the
Food
he
eateth
.
Things
to
be
inferred
from
the
before
going
Observations
.
If
it
be
clear
,
firm
and
pale
,
with
white
Grains
,
in
complexion
like
sweet
Soap
,
then
it
is
wholsome
;
if
it
be
Black
,
it
shews
Heat
in
the
Body
;
if
Greasie
,
then
it
shews
Foulness
;
if
Red
and
hard
,
it
shews
Costiveness
;
if
Pale
and
loose
,
then
inward
Coldness
.
And
as
you
thus
observe
his
Ordure
,
so
you
must
also
observe
his
Meine
,
whether
High
,
Low
,
&c.
As
these
qualities
of
Feeding
and
Emptying
,
so
you
shall
note
his
qualities
in
Rest
and
Watchings
;
that
is
,
in
his
lying
down
and
standing
up
;
what
hours
and
times
he
observeth
for
either
,
and
how
long
he
continueth
in
them
:
And
if
at
any
time
you
find
sudden
or
gross
alteration
,
then
be
assured
of
some
Sickness
approaching
;
and
thus
do
of
any
other
particular
Quality
in
your
Horse
,
(
which
you
shall
observe
in
his
Health
)
for
it
is
impossible
to
nominate
all
;
and
if
you
find
them
suddenly
to
surprize
,
it
is
doubtful
that
there
is
some
Sickness
following
.
As
you
thus
observe
the
Complexions
and
Qualities
of
the
Horse
,
so
you
must
observe
his
natural
Customs
and
Conditions
,
and
how
in
his
livelihood
and
best
health
,
he
standeth
affected
:
To
particularize
or
name
them
,
I
cannot
,
because
they
proceed
most
from
hidden
Inclinations
,
or
else
accidental
Apprehension
,
which
,
by
continuance
of
time
,
grow
to
natural
Habits
:
And
any
of
these
,
when
they
shall
increase
,
or
fail
,
are
true
prognostications
of
Distemperature
and
Sickness
.
Many
other
signs
of
Sickness
there
are
;
as
the
not
casting
of
the
Coat
in
due
time
;
Hide-bound
:
Continual
dislike
and
Leanness
,
where
there
is
good
Feeding
.
But
on
these
I
shall
inlarge
my self
hereafter
.
Some
other
choice
Observations
,
for
the
preventing
of
all
inward
Sicknesses
.
The
preventing
of
inward
Sicknesses
,
consisteth
in
two
special
Observations
and
Considerations
:
First
,
To
prevent
it
before
it
come
,
that
it
may
not
offend
at
all
.
The
Second
is
,
To
take
it
at
the
first
appearance
,
and
so
to
prevent
it
,
that
it
ariseth
not
to
any
great
danger
or
hazard
.
To
prevent
Sickness
,
that
it
offend
not
your
Horse
at
all
.
Tho'
I
have
already
treated
on
this
Subject
,
yet
I
shall
not
omit
to
write
what
is
of
excellent
concernment
to
the
Practitioner
.
When
you
put
your
Horse
to
Grass
,
every
three
or
four
days
before
you
turn
him
out
,
take
blood
from
his
Neck-Vein
,
then
the
next
day
after
,
give
him
a
pint
and
a
half
of
Muscadine
,
and
half
an
ounce
of
the
Powder
of
Diapenthe
,
or
three
quarters
of
an
ounce
of
the
Horse-Mithridate
,
and
then
by
degrees
to
abate
his
Cloaths
.
You
shall
also
observe
,
when
you
let
your
Horse
blood
,
to
proportion
the
quantity
you
take
from
him
,
according
to
the
goodness
or
badness
of
the
Blood
,
for
the
loss
of
good
Blood
,
is
unwholsome
,
and
doth
hurt
;
and
to
preserve
ill
Blood
,
is
dangerous
and
noisome
.
Also
,
if
you
observe
when
you
take
Blood
from
your
Horse
,
to
receive
it
into
a
Vessel
,
and
stir
it
about
continually
,
as
the
Horse
bleedeth
,
to
keep
it
from
clotting
;
then
having
bled
him
,
take
the
Blood
and
besmear
it
all
over
the
Horse's
Back
and
Body
,
you
shall
find
it
wonderful
wholsome
to
him
,
for
it
comforteth
his
Body
,
cleareth
his
Skin
,
and
breedeth
a
rejoycing
in
all
the
Horse's
internal
parts
.
Now
if
you
have
no
determination
to
put
your
Horse
to
Grass
,
and
yet
you
would
prevent
inward
Sickness
,
then
you
shall
observe
once
in
two
or
three
Months
,
(
when
you
have
the
best
leisure
to
rest
your
Horse
after
it
)
not
to
fail
to
give
him
Muscadine
and
Diapenthe
,
and
Horse-Mithridate
,
as
was
before
shewed
,
and
not
to
let
him
Blood
at
all
;
for
this
very
Potion
is
the
greatest
purger
and
purifier
of
the
Blood
that
can
be
,
and
voideth
all
that
yellow
Cholerick
Matter
,
and
other
evil
and
undigested
Humours
,
which
corrupt
the
Blood
.
Now
you
are
to
observe
here
,
that
although
I
only
prescribe
Muscadine
,
wherein
you
shall
dissolve
your
Powder
,
or
Mithridate
;
yet
know
,
that
when
you
cannot
get
Muscadine
,
or
other
sweet
Wine
,
that
then
you
may
take
strong
Ale
,
or
Beer
,
but
in
a
greater
quantity
;
for
whereas
you
take
but
a
pint
and
a
half
of
Wine
,
you
shall
take
of
Beer
or
Ale
,
a
full
Ale-quart
;
as
for
the
Powder
of
Mithridate
,
you
shall
keep
the
first
quantity
already
presc●●bed
;
a●d
if
you
warm
your
Beer
or
Ale
a
little
on
the
Fire
,
it
will
not
be
amiss
,
but
better
.
Now
to
take
a
Sickness
at
the
first
Approach
,
and
to
prevent
it
,
that
it
may
not
arise
not
to
any
great
danger
,
you
shall
by
all
means
observe
to
look
well
into
the
Occasions
of
Sicknesses
,
which
are
already
shewed
,
and
into
the
Signs
of
those
Occasions
;
and
if
you
find
your self
guilty
of
any
of
them
,
or
that
the
Horse
disco●ered
any
of
the
former
Signs
,
then
presently
let
him
Blood
,
and
three
several
Mornings
after
,
give
him
the
Drink
or
Potion
before
prescribed
,
and
undoubtedly
it
will
prevent
all
the
force
of
Sickness
,
and
restore
the
Horse
to
his
Strength
,
and
good
estate
of
Body
.
To
refine
the
Blood
,
and
save
the
Liver
from
Infection
.
Take
of
Polipodium
of
the
Oak
,
made
very
clean
,
cut
it
into
small
pieces
,
then
take
a
handful
of
Liver-wort
,
cut
it
in
small
pieces
,
together
with
six-penny
weight
of
Rheubarb
cut
small
,
and
every
Morning
,
for
three
or
four
days
in
a
Month
,
give
it
the
Horse
in
his
Provender
,
very
early
,
two
or
three
hours
before
his
watering
;
and
once
in
half
a
Year
make
tryal
of
his
Blood
how
pure
it
is
,
and
accordingly
Minister
help
if
need
be
.
This
Medicine
is
highly
esteemed
of
by
those
that
have
experienced
it
.
Of
Bleeding
in
any
Heart-Sickness
,
or
in
any
ordinary
inward
Sickness
.
I
will
now
descend
to
the
Cure
of
these
inward
Sicknesses
:
And
though
every
several
Sickness
have
a
several
Cure
,
yet
I
will
draw
all
here
into
one
sudden
,
but
certain
and
infallible
proved
Method
,
ever
found
prosperous
and
▪
fortunate
.
Whensover
,
by
Signs
before
rehearsed
,
or
other
Accident
or
Knowledge
,
you
shall
find
your
Horse
grievously
pained
with
inward
Sickness
,
the
first
thing
you
shall
do
open
his
Neck-Vein
,
and
receive
some
of
the
first
Blood
into
a
Pewter
Porringer
,
which
,
if
you
set
it
in
cold
Water
,
will
presently
discover
the
Foulness
and
Putrefaction
;
then
let
the
Horse
bleed
well
till
the
Blood
change
;
neither
must
you
be
nice
or
tender-in
this
Action
,
because
you
must
understand
that
all
inward
Sicknesses
in
Horses
draw
their
Effects
from
the
Putrefaction
of
the
Blood
only
.
And
this
is
the
Reason
.
It
is
certain
that
the
Horse
,
of
all
other
Creatures
,
hath
no
natural
Vessel
into
which
to
receive
the
scummy
and
putrefied
matter
which
ariseth
from
corrupt
and
Cholerick
Blood
,
but
it
is
either
voided
in
Excremental
Humours
,
or
moderate
Exercise
and
Sweats
,
or
else
by
immoderate
Exercise
and
violent
Labour
.
By
too
much
Repletion
and
Fulness
,
by
unwholesome
Food
and
evil
Diet
,
or
by
some
other
natural
Defect
,
this
Cholerick
Corruption
increasing
and
overflowing
,
it
presently
,
and
in
an
instant
overspreads
the
whole
Body
,
having
its
Course
through
every
Vein
,
and
so
discoloureth
the
Skin
,
and
makes
all
the
outward
parts
yellow
,
especially
the
Eyes
and
inside
of
the
Lips
;
also
mixing
with
the
better
Blood
,
and
confounding
the
Strength
and
Vertue
thereof
,
it
brings
a
general
Fairness
over
the
Body
,
and
in
the
end
suffocateth
the
Heart
;
of
force
there
must
follow
sudden
and
certain
Mortality
;
and
hence
proceeds
those
sudden
Deaths
of
Horses
,
for
which
our
weak
Farriers
can
give
but
a
foolish
and
idle
Account
.
But
to
return
to
the
purpose
;
after
you
have
taken
away
good
store
of
Blood
,
and
(
as
you
imagine
)
all
,
or
at
least
,
the
most
part
of
that
which
is
corrupt
,
then
set
him
up
in
the
Stable
,
tying
his
Head
to
the
Rack
gently
,
and
at
Liberty
,
neither
so
high
that
he
shall
be
compelled
to
rest
his
Head
upon
the
Bridle
,
nor
yet
so
low
,
that
he
may
thrust
hi●
Head
into
the
Manger
;
and
thus
you
shall
let
him
stand
at
least
two
hours
.
How
to
prepare
your
Horse
after
bleeding
to
receive
what
is
necessary
for
remedying
dangerous
Sickness
.
If
the
Sickness
be
not
contacious
and
dangerous
;
administer
not
any
Potion
to
him
that
day
,
because
the
Vein
being
opened
,
and
all
the
●●m●●ous
Powers
and
Faculties
of
the
Body
disturbed
,
it
will
be
a
double
Vexation
to
his
Spirits
to
go
also
through
the
working
of
the
Potion
;
therefore
in
this
case
,
the
Sickness
not
be●ng
violent
,
you
may
forbear
farther
Administration
and
only
after
the
Horse
hath
●asted
you
shall
give
him
such
Food
a●
he
will
eat
,
whether
it
be
Hay
,
Bread
,
or
Corn
;
and
always
provide
that
it
be
strong
,
savory
,
sweet
,
dry
,
and
clean
drest
;
as
for
the
Quantity
it
matters
not
,
for
a
small
Pittance
at
that
time
will
maintain
him
;
besides
Emptiness
is
no
great
Displeasure
.
At
high
Noon
you
shall
give
him
a
sweet
Mash
of
Malt
and
Water
made
in
this
manner
:
Take
half
a
peck
of
good
Malt
well
ground
,
and
put
it
into
a
Pale
by
it self
,
then
take
a
Gallon
of
fair
clear
Water
,
and
set
it
on
the
Fire
;
then
when
it
is
come
to
the
hight
,
that
it
is
ready
to
boyl
,
put
as
much
of
it
to
the
Malt
as
will
moist
and
cover
the
Malt
all
over
,
and
stir
them
exceeding
well
together
,
crushing
the
Malt
with
a
flat
Rudder
as
much
as
you
can
,
ever
and
anon
tasting
it
with
your
Finger
,
till
it
be
as
sweet
as
any
Honey
,
and
then
cover
it
over
as
close
as
you
can
,
and
so
let
it
stand
and
stove
for
two
or
three
hours
at
the
least
;
then
the
hour
being
come
in
which
the
Horse
is
to
receive
it
,
uncover
the
Mash
and
stir
it
about
;
but
finding
it
to
hot
,
then
put
to
it
some
clear
cold
Water
,
that
may
temper
and
allay
it
,
but
in
any
wise
not
so
much
as
may
take
away
any
part
of
the
Sweetness
;
and
in
this
tempering
,
with
your
hand
crush
and
squeeze
the
Malt
as
much
as
you
can
;
the
Mash
being
lukewarm
,
give
it
to
the
Horse
to
drink
;
and
if
he
eat
of
the
Malt
,
let
him
take
thereof
at
his
Pleasure
.
This
is
the
best
manner
of
making
of
an
ordinary
Mash
,
or
Horse-Caudle
,
for
it
is
of
that
nature
and
quality
;
and
to
that
purpose
that
a
Caudle
is
administred
to
Man
,
is
this
given
to
a
Horse
;
for
you
must
understand
,
that
in
these
contagious
Diseases
,
nothing
is
more
pestilent
than
cold
Water
,
and
especially
when
that
Exercise
cannot
be
used
.
The
ruder
Farriers
and
Horse-Grooms
,
do
make
the
Mash
another
way
,
putting
the
Malt
to
the
Water
at
the
first
,
and
so
boyling
them
both
together
;
but
this
is
unwholsom
and
nought
,
and
that
every
good
Ho●swife
can
witness
;
for
this
long
boiling
over-scalds
the
Malt
,
and
takes
away
the
Strength
and
Sweetness
,
and
gives
a
harsh
and
unsavory
Taste
,
which
is
offensive
to
the
Horse's
Nature
.
If
your
Horse
be
coy
,
and
refuse
to
take
the
Mash
,
as
many
are
,
partly
for
want
of
Use
and
Custom
,
and
partly
for
Weakness
of
Stomach
,
than
you
shall
strain
the
Water
from
the
Malt
exceeding
hard
,
and
so
give
him
with
a
Horn
to
drink
;
then
take
the
Grains
which
you
have
so
strained
,
and
put
them
in
the
Manger
before
the
Horse
,
on
which
,
whether
he
feed
or
no
,
it
matters
not
;
for
if
he
but
smell
and
snuffle
his
Nose
upon
them
,
it
is
sufficient
;
for
the
Fume
thereof
is
wonderous
wholesome
for
his
Head
.
After
you
have
given
him
the
Mash
,
see
that
he
be
warmly
cloathed
,
as
namely
a
good
Woollen
Body-cloath
to
come
round
about
his
Heart
,
a
large
Cloath
or
two
to
come
over
it
,
and
to
be
wispt
round
about
,
with
soft
,
thick
,
and
large
Whisps
;
for
the
little
,
hard
,
and
neat
Wisps
,
though
they
are
comely
to
the
Eye
,
yet
they
are
unwholsome
for
the
Body
,
for
Hardness
and
Smallness
makes
an
Impression
into
the
Horse's
sides
,
causeth
him
to
forbear
to
lye
down
,
when
Nature
and
Rest
requireth
it
.
The
Horse
being
thus
warm
cloathed
,
you
shall
then
cause
one
or
two
to
rub
all
his
four
Legs
from
his
Knees
and
Lamtrels
downwards
,
with
very
hard
Whisps
,
and
to
rub
them
as
hard
as
may
be
;
and
whilst
his
Limbs
are
thus
in
rubbing
,
take
a
coarse
Rubber
or
two
,
made
of
new
hardned
temper
Cloath
,
and
warming
one
after
another
over
a
pan
of
Coals
,
with
them
rub
the
Horse
exceedingly
much
in
the
Nape
of
his
Neck
,
and
the
Pole
,
just
betwixt
his
Ears
,
and
on
the
Temples
of
his
Head
;
for
there
is
nothing
that
is
more
wholesome
than
these
Frictions
and
Chasings
,
for
they
dissolve
Humours
,
and
revive
all
natural
Heat
,
being
a
cheerful
Nimbleness
to
the
Limbs
,
and
purge
the
Head
of
gross
Cold
,
and
rough
Matter
,
cleansing
and
purifying
the
Brain
,
by
which
the
Members
and
other
Faculties
are
fortified
,
and
the
whole
Body
reduced
back
to
its
full
Strength
and
Ability
.
As
soon
as
you
have
ended
this
Friction
of
rubbing
,
you
may
then
let
the
Horse
take
his
Rest
for
two
or
three
hours
,
and
only
leave
a
Lock
or
two
of
sweet
Hay
in
his
Rack
,
and
no
more
;
for
the
least
quantity
of
any
thing
is
too
much
,
and
soon
cloys
a
sick
Horse
.
An
Excellent
Perfume
for
Inward
Sickness
,
&c.
In
the
Evenng
come
to
your
Horse
again
,
and
having
rubbed
all
his
Limbs
and
Head
,
as
you
did
before
,
then
perfume
his
Head
in
this
manner
.
Take
of
the
best
and
purest
Olibanum
an
ounce
,
as
much
of
Benjamin
and
Rax
,
and
bruise
them
all
together
;
I
do
not
mean
bruise
them
to
small
Powder
,
but
only
break
them
in
small
Lumps
,
and
mix
them
well
together
,
and
so
taking
them
up
between
your
Fingers
,
you
may
not
take
up
one
Ingredient
alone
,
but
some
of
all
;
then
take
a
Chafing-dish
,
if
you
have
one
,
let
it
be
after
the
manner
of
the
perfuming
Chafing-dishes
,
which
are
wide
below
where
the
Fire
is
,
and
narrow
at
the
top
,
where
the
smoak
avoideth
;
and
in
this
Chafing-dish
put
well-kindled
Wood-Coals
,
or
small
Charcoal
,
then
take
some
of
the
aforesaid
Perfume
,
and
lay
it
upon
the
Coals
,
but
in
any
wise
so
that
it
may
not
flame
,
but
smoak
;
then
hold
the
Chafing-dish
to
the
Nose
of
the
Horse
,
and
let
the
smoak
go
into
his
Nostrils
,
and
thus
perfume
him
well
for
the
space
of
a
quarter
of
an
hour
,
or
half
an
hour
at
the
most
.
Now
it
may
be
the
Horse
may
seem
coy
to
receive
this
at
the
first
,
because
it
is
strange
to
him
;
but
do
you
continue
the
Action
,
and
cherish
him
;
for
be
you
well
assured
,
after
he
hath
once
received
the
Smell
into
his
Head
,
he
will
be
as
greedy
to
have
it
,
as
you
are
willing
to
give
it
,
for
there
is
nothing
that
delighteth
a
Horse
more
,
or
more
rejoyceth
his
Spirits
than
sweet
savours
,
and
odoriferous
Smells
,
of
which
this
Perfume
is
one
of
the
chiefest
;
the
Effects
which
this
Perfume
worketh
is
,
that
it
purgeth
the
Brain
of
all
filthy
and
corrupt
Matter
,
(
as
you
shall
find
by
experience
in
the
working
)
it
dissolves
tough
Matter
into
Water
,
and
brings
it
away
in
such
abundance
,
that
it
is
sometimes
ready
to
extinguish
the
Fire
as
it
falleth
.
It
is
the
greatest
comforter
of
the
Brain
that
can
be
,
and
from
thence
sends
such
Cheerfulness
to
the
Heart
,
that
it
rejoyceth
the
whole
Body
.
An
excellent
Receipt
,
with
Directions
for
Ordering
a
Horse
in
extream
Sickness
and
danger
of
Life
.
After
your
Horse
hath
been
well
Perfumed
,
as
aforesaid
,
let
him
rest
for
a
quarter
of
an
hour
,
and
then
give
him
such
Food
as
he
will
eat
,
either
Bread
,
or
Oats
,
how
little
he
eats
it
skills
not
,
for
it
is
to
be
intended
that
his
Stomach
is
now
at
the
weakest
.
After
he
is
fed
,
you
shall
toss
up
the
Litter
;
for
you
must
know
,
that
he
is
to
stand
upon
the
Litter
all
night
and
the
next
day
:
Besure
to
have
him
Fasting
,
and
then
the
next
Morning
early
,
you
shall
take
half
an
ounce
of
the
Powder
of
Diapenthe
,
as
the
Greeks
call
it
,
because
of
the
number
Five
:
Take
half
an
ounce
of
this
Powder
,
and
put
it
into
a
pint
of
the
best
Muscadine
,
and
Brew
them
well
together
in
two
Pots
,
tossing
it
to
and
fro
,
because
otherwise
the
Myrrh
will
clotter
and
lump
together
;
and
after
it
is
well
brewed
,
give
it
the
Horse
in
a
Horn
,
then
,
if
he
have
any
small
strength
,
mount
his
Back
and
walk
him
up
and
down
in
some
warm
or
Sunny
place
for
an
Hour
,
then
set
him
up
in
the
Stable
warm
and
well
Littered
,
and
tying
his
Back
to
the
Bridle
,
let
him
so
stand
,
and
Fast
for
another
hour
,
or
more
;
then
give
him
Meat
,
and
so
let
him
stand
till
betwixt
Twelve
and
One
of
the
Clock
in
the
Afternoon
;
at
which
time
rub
him
as
formerly
,
then
Perfume
him
,
as
was
before
said
:
Both
them
Works
being
finished
,
give
him
a
sweet
Mash
,
and
so
let
him
rest
to
the
Evening
,
at
which
time
,
offer
him
Meat
,
but
in
a
little
quantity
,
as
handful
by
handful
,
and
let
him
rest
till
Eight
of
the
Clock
at
Night
,
at
which
time
again
Perfume
him
,
then
give
him
Meat
,
and
cloath
him
warm
,
make
clean
his
Stable
,
and
leave
him
to
his
Rest
that
Night
.
A
closing
Method
to
perfect
the
Cure
of
dangerous
Sickness
in
a
Horse
,
pursuant
to
the
former
Rules
.
The
next
day
,
being
the
third
day
,
you
shall
do
all
things
as
you
did
the
second
day
,
already
rehearsed
;
at
first
,
you
shall
give
him
his
Potion
of
Diapenthe
and
sweet-wine
,
then
Air
him
:
At
Noon
give
him
his
Mash
:
At
the
Evening
and
Night
,
his
Perfume
,
with
all
observations
that
were
before
declared
.
The
next
day
,
which
is
the
fourth
day
,
there
is
no
dou●t
(
with
the
blessing
of
God
)
but
you
'll
find
alteration
,
and
health
approaching
;
you
may
know
it
by
his
Stomach
,
and
by
his
more
cheerful
Countenance
;
as
also
by
other
outward
Gestures
:
And
finding
that
Health
is
coming
,
you
m●y
then
forbare
to
give
him
any
more
Potions
,
only
attend
him
with
good
Food
,
good
Dressing
,
and
moderate
Exercise
:
Neither
shall
you
give
him
any
more
Mashes
;
for
tho'
they
be
wholsome
in
the
extremity
of
Sickness
,
yet
being
any
thing
too
much
used
,
they
will
take
away
the
Horse's
Stomach
,
and
bring
him
to
a
Loathing
of
other
Meat
;
and
therefore
instead
thereof
,
in
the
Morning
when
the
Horse
is
well
rubbed
and
drest
,
take
a
Pottle
of
fair
Water
,
and
heat
it
scalding
hot
,
then
put
it
into
a
Gallon
or
two
of
clear
cold
Water
,
that
it
may
take
away
the
extream
coldness
thereof
,
and
then
,
being
scarcely
luke-warm
,
give
it
the
Horse
to
drink
:
You
may
,
if
you
please
,
throw
a
handful
of
Bran
,
or
a
handful
of
Wheat-meal
into
the
Water
,
for
it
is
good
.
As
soon
as
the
Horse
hath
drank
,
Back
him
,
and
ride
him
forth
gently
for
an
hour
or
two
:
At
Noon
,
Perfume
him
:
At
Evening
Water
him
,
as
you
did
in
the
Morning
,
and
ride
him
in
the
like
manner
:
Feed
him
at
usual
Hours
,
as
in
the
time
of
Health
:
And
thus
do
for
two
or
three
days
more
:
then
finding
his
strength
increasing
,
you
may
by
degrees
(
according
as
the
Season
is
)
abate
the
Cloaths
;
you
may
also
Water
him
abroad
at
some
clear
River
,
or
Spring
:
Gallop
him
after
his
Watering
;
and
draw
every
thing
to
the
same
custom
as
you
did
in
his
best
Health
▪
An
Excellent
Medicine
for
any
violent
Sickness
,
if
the
Horse
be
at
the
point
of
Death
.
If
you
have
a
Horse
in
this
extremity
and
desperate
case
,
then
the
first
thing
you
do
,
shall
be
to
open
his
Neck-Vein
,
and
let
him
blood
very
well
;
then
two
hours
after
his
bleeding
,
take
two
ounces
of
the
Powder
of
Diapenthe
,
and
beat
it
in
a
Mortar
with
as
much
clarified
Life-Honey
as
will
bring
it
to
a
substantial
Treacle
:
When
this
Confection
is
made
,
take
half
an
ounce
thereof
,
or
more
,
and
dissolve
it
in
a
pint
and
an
half
of
Mus●adine
,
and
so
give
it
to
the
Horse
to
drink
with
a
Horn
,
and
if
he
have
so
much
ability
of
Body
,
walk
him
up
and
down
for
half
an
hour
,
either
in
some
Sunny
place
,
or
close
Barn
,
or
empty
House
;
then
set
him
up
,
and
let
him
fast
another
hour
:
At
Noon
give
him
,
if
you
can
get
it
,
a
Gallon
,
or
near
thereabouts
,
of
the
first
running
of
the
strongest
Ale
,
before
it
be
put
to
Barm
,
when
it
is
clear
,
strong
,
and
carrieth
a
Royal
on
the
top
:
But
when
this
is
not
to
be
had
,
then
give
him
a
sweet
Mash
,
Perfume
,
Rub
,
Cloath
,
Diet
,
and
Order
him
in
all
respects
as
were
shewed
you
in
the
former
Cure
.
And
thus
you
shall
do
for
three
days
together
without
fail
,
and
then
no
doubt
but
you
shall
see
Health
approaching
.
How
to
Order
your
Horse
after
receiving
the
fore-going
Medicine
,
to
perfect
his
Recovery
.
At
the
end
of
three
days
,
forbear
all
sorts
of
Mashes
of
both
kinds
,
and
follow
all
the
Prescriptions
before
declared
.
Now
,
if
during
the
Cure
,
either
through
the
violence
of
Medicine
,
or
the
foulness
of
the
Horse's
Body
,
you
shall
find
any
hard
Pustles
to
rise
up
betwixt
the
Horse's
Chaps
and
at
the
root
of
the
Tongue
,
then
you
shall
first
clip
away
the
Hair
as
close
as
may
be
;
then
you
shall
take
a
Wax-candle
,
and
therewith
burn
the
Swelling
,
till
you
scarifie
the
Skin
,
then
take
a
piece
of
Leather
somewhat
larger
then
the
Swelling
,
and
having
prick'd
it
all
over
with
the
point
of
your
Knife
,
s●read
thereupon
thick
,
your
black
Shoo-makers
Wax
that
is
well
season'd
and
new
;
then
warming
it
upon
a
few
Coals
,
laying
it
upon
the
Swelling
,
and
remove
it
not
,
till
either
it
fall
off
of
it self
,
or
else
the
Sore
breaks
;
then
renew
the
Plaister
,
and
with
it
heal
up
the
Sore
.
This
Plaister
for
the
cheapness
and
meanness
,
will
hardly
gain
credit
with
those
that
are
Curious
;
but
I
dare
assure
you
,
that
there
is
not
a
more
excellent
or
soveraign
Plaister
which
belongs
to
a
Horse
;
for
it
ripeneth
and
breaketh
any
Impostumation
whatsoever
:
It
asswageth
any
hard
Swelling
or
Tumor
,
whether
in
the
Joints
,
or
any
other
fleshly
parts
,
and
it
healeth
what
it
breaketh
,
or
ripeneth
;
and
with
its
heat
,
dissolves
all
manner
of
Humours
that
are
knit
together
,
or
occasion
pain
and
swelling
.
To
help
a
Horse
that
cannot
Dung
,
after
having
been
Sick
.
There
is
another
Accident
which
attendeth
the
Sickness
of
Horses
,
and
that
is
Costiveness
,
or
Belly-binding
,
which
maketh
a
Horse
that
he
cannot
Dung
,
or
avoid
his
Ordure
.
This
Accident
,
when
at
any
time
it
happeneth
,
it
shall
be
good
for
you
first
to
rake
him
,
then
anoint
your
Hand
all
over
with
sweet
Butter
,
or
clarified
Hogs-grease
:
Some
use
Oil
of
Bay
;
but
it
is
too
sharp
and
too
hot
,
and
many
times
(
if
the
action
be
used
too
roughly
,
or
unadvisedly
)
it
breedeth
an
exulceration
or
soreness
in
the
I
all
and
inward
parts
:
Therefore
either
take
sweet
Butter
or
Hogs-grease
,
and
your
hand
being
all
besmeared
therewith
,
thrust
it
up
into
his
Tuel
until
you
feel
his
Ordure
,
then
draw
out
as
much
thereof
(
if
it
be
black
)
as
conveniently
you
can
;
also
,
take
a
great
Candle
of
three
or
four
in
the
Pound
at
least
,
and
cutting
off
an
Inch
or
two
at
the
upper
or
smaller
end
,
with
your
Hand
anoint
as
before
,
thrusting
the
great
end
forward
,
put
it
up
into
his
Tuel
so
far
as
you
can
get
it
;
then
suddenly
drawing
out
of
your
Hand
,
and
leaving
the
Candle
behind
you
,
clap
down
his
Tail
close
to
his
Tuel
,
and
drawing
it
up
between
his
Legs
,
hold
it
with
your
Hand
hardly
and
constantly
for
the
space
of
an
hour
or
more
,
in
which
time
the
Candle
will
dissolve
in
the
Horse's
Body
,
and
so
separate
and
break
his
Ordure
,
and
upon
the
letting
loose
of
your
Hand
,
he
will
presently
Dung
.
This
you
may
do
in
every
case
of
Extremity
,
but
not
otherwise
:
And
believe
it
,
you
will
find
this
the
most
excellent
Suppository
of
all
other
;
and
there
is
no
Glister
that
can
work
with
greater
efficacy
or
more
wholsomeness
.
Of
the
danger
of
Laxativeness
in
a
Horse
,
and
how
to
Remedy
it
.
There
is
another
Accident
which
attendeth
the
Sickness
of
Horses
,
and
this
is
quite
contrary
to
that
before
rehearsed
,
and
it
is
called
Laxativeness
,
or
Looseness
of
the
Body
,
which
is
expressed
by
a
vehement
and
violent
Scowring
:
This
,
if
at
any
time
it
shall
happen
,
you
shall
at
first
note
the
violence
thereof
,
and
the
continuance
thereof
.
The
violence
is
known
by
the
thinness
or
sharpness
,
and
the
often
and
speedy
voiding
of
the
Excrements
.
The
continuance
is
known
by
the
unchangeableness
of
the
Infirmity
,
and
by
the
process
and
long
continuance
of
time
,
contrary
to
all
natural
and
wholsome
custom
;
for
you
are
to
observe
,
that
a
Horse
may
have
a
Scowring
for
a
day
,
or
a
little
more
,
and
this
is
not
unwholsome
,
but
natural
and
good
;
and
if
after
,
it
stay
of
it self
,
then
it
worketh
no
evil
effect
;
but
if
it
continue
longer
,
and
bring
the
Horse
into
an
extraordinary
weakness
of
Body
,
then
seek
to
stop
it
in
this
manner
:
Take
a
quart
of
Milk
,
putting
thereto
a
good
spoonful
or
two
of
fine
Bean-flower
,
and
as
much
Bole-Armoniack
finely
beaten
to
Powder
,
boyl
altogether
till
the
Milk
thicken
,
and
then
being
made
luke-warm
,
give
it
the
Horse
with
a
Horn
;
and
doing
thus
a
Morning
or
two
,
no
doubt
but
that
it
will
Bind
the
Horse
;
which
if
it
doth
not
,
then
you
shall
take
a
quart
of
Red-wine
,
and
put
thereunto
a
handful
of
the
Herb
call'd
Shepherd's
Purse
,
and
half
so
much
of
Tanner's
Bark
,
and
boyl
all
very
well
together
,
till
the
Herb
and
the
Bark
be
soft
;
then
strain
it
,
and
put
thereinto
of
the
Powder
of
Cinnamon
,
and
being
made
lukewarm
,
give
it
to
the
Horse
to
drink
with
a
Horn
;
and
this
do
a
Morning
,
two
or
three
,
if
need
require
.
The
means
to
help
and
preserve
Horses
from
inward
Diseases
.
There
are
four
ways
and
means
to
keep
Horses
from
inward
Diseases
,
viz.
Purging
,
Sweating
,
letting
of
Blood
,
and
Vomiting
,
whereof
in
Order
.
First
,
Of
Purging
;
which
may
be
said
to
be
two-fold
,
Outward
,
and
Inward
:
The
time
of
Purging
or
cleansing
the
Horse
,
must
be
presently
after
the
taking
of
the
Horse
from
Grass
,
into
the
Stable
,
which
should
be
at
or
before
the
Feast
of
St.
Bartholomew
,
by
reason
of
the
great
moisture
and
cold
that
then
happeneth
,
and
to
be
taken
up
very
gently
,
for
fear
of
Over-heating
of
him
,
lest
his
Humours
thereby
should
be
dissolved
by
the
Veins
and
Arteries
,
into
every
part
of
the
Body
.
And
that
every
Horse
at
such
times
are
full
of
Humours
,
apappeareth
in
the
best
Spirited
Horses
,
if
you
then
perceive
their
Actions
,
how
heavy
they
perform
them
at
such
times
.
The
manner
of
purging
and
clearing
the
outward
parts
of
the
Body
,
should
be
in
this
manner
.
First
,
shave
his
Ears
,
and
a
little
place
behind
,
for
the
Head-stall
to
lye
flat
and
even
;
then
take
Soap
and
anoint
his
Head
and
Jaws
therewith
;
and
then
take
warm
Bucklie
and
wash
and
cleanse
the
same
in
every
part
,
so
clean
as
is
possible
,
from
all
Sweat
or
Scurf
,
and
presently
rub
his
Head
and
every
part
with
clean
Linnen
Cloaths
,
and
after
with
Woollen
Cloaths
very
dry
;
then
put
thereon
a
double
Hood
or
Biggen
,
made
on
purpose
to
keep
all
the
parts
of
his
Head
very
warm
:
If
it
be
a
fair
warm
day
,
in
the
Sun
,
in
like
manner
wash
,
purge
and
cleanse
all
his
Body
,
and
every
part
thereof
,
especially
his
Main
,
Tail
,
and
Cods
:
Then
rub
him
and
clear
him
very
dry
;
Cloath
him
and
stuff
him
very
warm
,
and
give
him
plenty
of
sweet
and
clean
Litter
;
then
anoint
all
his
Hoofs
(
having
first
washed
them
and
made
them
dry
)
with
this
Ointment
;
Take
of
Turpentine
and
Sheeps-fuet
;
half
a
pound
of
unwrought
Wax
;
a
quartern
of
Allem
;
of
Sallet
Oil
,
half
a
pint
;
of
Tar
,
a
quarter
of
a
pint
:
Boil
them
altogether
until
they
are
well
Incorporated
;
keep
it
in
a
Pot
,
and
every
day
(
his
Feet
being
clean
)
anoint
his
Hoofs
therewith
;
neither
let
him
go
to
Grass
(
if
he
be
a
Horse
of
worth
)
above
one
Month
in
the
Year
.
