season_n be_v the_o worst_a of_o all_o ordinary_a fever_n whatsoever_o especial_o all_o such_o as_o be_v take_v in_o the_o dog_n day_n because_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o farrier_n all_o accident_n be_v then_o most_o furious_a the_o especial_a sign_n of_o this_o fever_n be_v that_o his_o artery_n will_v beat_v most_o palpable_o &_o wheresoever_o he_o stale_v there_o you_o shall_v perceive_v he_o shed_v his_o seed_n also_o the_o cure_n according_a to_o the_o ancient_n be_v to_o let_v he_o blood_n on_o the_o great_a vein_n which_o he_o have_v on_o his_o hinder_a haunch_n almost_o four_o inch_n beneath_o his_o fundament_n but_o for_o my_o own_o part_n because_o that_o vein_n be_v not_o so_o easy_o find_v of_o every_o ignorant_a smith_n &_o that_o many_o time_n by_o

two_o hour_n and_o a_o half_a after_o this_o drink_n take_v the_o juice_n of_o a_o handful_n of_o purslane_n and_o mix_v

in_o summer_n in_o autumn_n and_o in_o winter_n other_o will_v have_v he_o only_o let_v blood_n three_o time_n in_o the_o year_n namely_o in_o may_n when_o he_o be_v turn_v to_o grass_n because_o then_o the_o blood_n begin_v to_o increase_v second_o in_o september_n that_o blond_n if_o it_o be_v inflame_v may_v then_o eevacuate_v and_o breathe_v forth_o and_o three_o in_o december_n to_o let_v go_v the_o gross_a and_o knotty_a blood_n which_o be_v breed_v by_o labour_n or_o careless_a keep_n other_o will_v have_v a_o horse_n to_o be_v let_v blood_n but_o once_o in_o the_o year_n namely_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o may_v only_o when_o he_o be_v to_o be_v put_v to_o grass_n allege_v this_o reason_n that_o if_o the_o horse_n be_v not_o let_v blood_n in_o the_o spring_n the_o new_a blood_n be_v mix_v with_o the_o old_a corrupt_a blood_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o be_v inflame_v and_o so_o draw_v upon_o the_o horse_n some_o grievous_a sickness_n other_o will_v have_v the_o horse_n to_o be_v let_v blood_n in_o the_o neck_n vein_n not_o above_o once_o in_o the_o year_n namely_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o may_n but_o in_o the_o palate_n of_o the_o mouth_n they_o will_v have_v he_o let_v blood_n at_o the_o least_o once_o every_o month_n allege_v that_o it_o will_v clear_v the_o sight_n comfort_v the_o brain_n &_o give_v he_o good_a appetite_n to_o his_o meat_n but_o to_o conclude_v there_o be_v not_o any_o of_o these_o opinion_n but_o be_v sound_n &_o good_a so_o the_o horse_n be_v young_a &_o in_o strength_n his_o blood_n increase_a but_o if_o he_o be_v old_a &_o his_o blood_n in_o the_o ebb_n than_o you_o can_v let_v blood_n too_o seldom_o now_o that_o it_o be_v fit_a a_o young_a horse_n shall_v be_v let_v blood_n be_v prove_v by_o the_o daily_a experience_n of_o the_o polander_n horse_n who_o be_v at_o liberty_n out_o of_o a_o natural_a instinct_n in_o themselves_o fail_v not_o once_o a_o year_n to_o let_v themselves_o blood_n yet_o we_o have_v diverse_a of_o our_o

draw_v on_o sickness_n unexpected_a but_o with_o that_o opinion_n i_o can_v agree_v because_o i_o hold_v it_o more_o virtue_n to_o prevent_v a_o danger_n before_o it_o come_v then_o to_o drive_v it_o away_o be_v present_a now_o that_o oft_o let_v of_o blood_n breed_v in_o a_o horse_n weakness_n and_o make_v the_o blood_n to_o resort_v to_o the_o inward_a part_n cloy_a the_o heart_n &_o entrail_n &_o make_v the_o outward_a part_n fat_a &_o unwieldy_a there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o that_o the_o let_v a_o horse_n blood_n twice_o in_o the_o year_n namely_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o may_n &_o the_o end_n of_o december_n at_o which_o time_n only_o i_o will_v have_v a_o horse_n let_v blood_n &_o no_o other_o shall_v be_v account_v oft_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n now_o for_o stallion_n the_o ancient_a farrier_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n have_v they_o let_v blood_n because_o say_v they_o the_o cover_n of_o mare_n be_v as_o great_a a_o expense_n of_o blood_n as_o may_v be_v affirm_v that_o one_o ounce_n of_o seed_n do_v countervail_v five_o ounce_n of_o blood_n &_o true_o i_o be_o of_o that_o opinion_n to_o but_o whereas_o they_o likewise_o advise_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o let_v gelding_n blood_n because_o the_o loss_n of_o their_o stone_n be_v the_o loss_n of_o their_o natural_a heat_n to_o that_o i_o be_o much_o contrary_n because_o i_o have_v find_v it_o by_o continual_a

help_n which_o horse_n have_v for_o purge_v their_o blood_n from_o uncleanness_n now_o in_o the_o let_n of_o horse_n blood_n every_o careful_a farrier_n be_v first_o to_o respect_v the_o climate_n under_o which_o the_o horse_n be_v breed_v know_v that_o those_o horse_n which_o be_v breed_v in_o cold_a country_n have_v ever_o more_o blood_n than_o those_o which_o be_v breed_v in_o the_o hot_a then_o he_o must_v consider_v the_o time_n of_o the_o year_n which_o will_v ever_o be_v the_o spring_n or_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o leaf_n both_o those_o time_n be_v most_o temperate_a neither_o exceed_v in_o heat_n nor_o in_o cold_a next_o he_o must_v regard_v the_o time_n of_o the_o day_n which_o will_v ever_o be_v in_o the_o morning_n fast_v so_o it_o be_v not_o at_o the_o horse_n awake_v from_o sleep_n but_o at_o least_o a_o hour_n or_o two_o after_o then_o he_o must_v look_v unto_o the_o state_n of_o the_o moon_n that_o the_o sign_n be_v not_o in_o that_o part_n of_o the_o body_n where_o he_o intend_v to_o let_v blood_n next_o he_o must_v look_v to_o the_o horse_n age_n for_o if_o he_o be_v young_a &_o not_o come_v to_o his_o growth_n it_o will_v hinder_v his_o wax_a &_o if_o he_o be_v old_a and_o come_v to_o decrepidnes_n his_o blood_n have_v more_o need_n be_v repair_v then_o waste_v last_o he_o shall_v look_v to_o the_o horse_n strength_n and_o ancient_a custom_n and_o so_o according_o he_o shall_v deal_v with_o he_o observe_v that_o some_o horse_n may_v better_o spare_v two_o or_o three_o pound_n of_o blood_n than_o other_o some_o one_o pound_n now_o thus_o much_o i_o have_v speak_v touch_v ordinary_a &_o natural_a let_n of_o blood_n without_o compulsion_n of_o any_o sickness_n or_o disease_n but_o in_o case_n where_o sickness_n or_o infirmity_n crave_v this_o
