as_o you_o be_v throw_v your_o lure_n a_o little_a way_n from_o she_o not_o cease_v lure_a all_o the_o while_n if_o she_o stoop_v to_o the_o lure_n and_o seize_v suffer_v she_o to_o plume_v the_o

course_n for_o a_o plate_n the_o first_o requisite_a in_o a_o rider_n next_o to_o faithfulness_n in_o his_o trust_n be_v to_o have_v a_o good_a close_a seat_n his_o knee_n be_v hold_v firm_a to_o his_o saddle-skirt_n his_o toe_n turn_v inward_a and_o his_o spur_n outward_a from_o the_o horse_n side_n his_o left_a hand_n govern_v his_o horse_n mouth_n and_o his_o right_n command_v his_o whip_n observe_v during_o all_o the_o trial_n throughout_o to_o sit_v firm_a in_o his_o saddle_n without_o wave_v or_o stand_v up_o in_o his_o stirrup_n which_o very_o much_o incommode_n the_o horse_n notwithstanding_o the_o conceit_a opinion_n of_o some_o jockey_n that_o it_o be_v a_o become_v seat_n when_o you_o spur_v your_o horse_n strike_v he_o not_o hard_o with_o the_o calf_n of_o your_o leg_n as_o if_o you_o will_v beat_v the_o wind_n out_o of_o his_o body_n bust_v just_a turn_n your_o toe_n outward_o and_o bring_v the_o spur_n quick_a to_o his_o side_n and_o such_o a_o sharp_a stroke_n will_v be_v more_o serviceable_a to_o the_o quicken_a of_o your_o horse_n and_o soon_o draw_v blood_n be_v sure_a not_o to_o spur_v your_o horse_n but_o when_o there_o be_v occasion_n and_o avoid_v spur_v he_o under_o the_o fore_a bowel_n between_o his_o shoulder_n and_o his_o girth_n near_o the_o heart_n which_o be_v the_o tend're_v place_n till_o the_o last_o extremity_n when_o you_o whip_v your_o horse_n let_v it_o be_v over_o the_o shoulder_n on_o the_o near_a side_n except_z upon_z hard_o run_v and_o when_o you_o be_v at_o all_o then_o be_v sure_a with_o a_o strong_a jerk_n to_o strike_v your_o horse_n in_o the_o flank_n for_o there_o the_o skin_n be_v tendere_a and_o most_o sensible_a of_o the_o lash_n observe_v when_o you_o whip_v or_o spur_v your_o horse_n and_o that_o you_o be_v certain_a he_o be_v at_o the_o top_n of_o his_o speed_n if_o then_o he_o clap_v his_o ear_n in_o his_o pole_n or_o whisk_n his_o tail_n be_v sure_a that_o you_o bear_v he_o hard_o and_o give_v he_o as_o much_o comfort_n as_o ever_o you_o can_v by_o saw_v his_o snaffle_n to_o and_o fro_o in_o his_o mouth_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n force_v he_o to_o open_v his_o mouth_n which_o will_v comfort_v he_o and_o give_v he_o wind_n if_o there_o be_v any_o high_a wind_n stir_v when_o you_o ride_v observe_v if_o it_o be_v in_o your_o face_n to_o let_v your_o adversary_n lead_v and_o to_o hold_v hard_o behind_o he_o till_o you_o see_v your_o opportunity_n of_o give_v a_o loose_a yet_o you_o must_v observe_v to_o ride_v so_o close_o to_o he_o that_o his_o horse_n may_v break_v the_o wind_n from_o you_o and_o that_o you_o by_o stoop_v low_a in_o your_o seat_n may_v shelter_v yourself_o under_o he_o which_o will_v assist_v the_o strength_n of_o your_o horse_n but_o if_o the_o

it_o from_o he_o as_o much_o as_o you_o can_v possible_a next_o observe_v what_o ground_n your_o horse_n delight_v to_o run_v best_a on_o bear_v your_o horse_n as_o much_o as_o your_o adversary_n will_v give_v you_o leave_v on_o level_a carpet-ground_n because_o your_o horse_n natural_o will_v be_v desirous_a to_o spend_v himself_o more_o free_o thereon_o but_o on_o deep_a earth_n &c._n &c._n give_v he_o more_o liberty_n because_o he_o will_v natural_o favour_v himself_o thereupon_o be_v sure_a if_o you_o be_v to_o run_v up_o hill_n to_o favour_v your_o horse_n and_o bear_v he_o for_o fear_v of_o run_v he_o out_o of_o wind_n but_o down_o hill_n if_o your_o horse_n foot_n and_o shoulder_n will_v endure_v it_o and_o you_o dare_v venture_v your_o own_o neck_n always_o give_v he_o a_o
