Together, with the discouery of the subtill trade or mistery of horse-coursers, & an explanatio[n] of the excellency of a horses vndersta[n]ding, or how to teach them to doe trickes like Bankes his curtall: and that horses may be made to drawe drie-foot like a hound.

stroke_v they_o too_o much_o for_o that_o will_v but_o hinder_v their_o growth_n because_o for_o the_o most_o part_n all_o fourfooted_a beast_n do_v take_v dislike_n in_o their_o infancy_n to_o be_v

which_o be_v betwixt_o the_o knee_n and_o the_o pastern_a of_o the_o fore_a leg_n that_o bone_n never_o increase_v no_o not_o from_o the_o first_o foal_v neither_o the_o bone_n from_o the_o cambrell_n

horse_n but_o for_o a_o general_a knowledge_n of_o the_o height_n of_o a_o horse_n by_o his_o foalage_n take_v a_o incle_n or_o ribbon_n and_o measure_v the_o foal_n when_o he_o be_v new_a foal_v

restrain_v this_o foal_n or_o colt_n i_o say_v and_o this_o i_o have_v ever_o approve_v and_o observe_v will_v prove_v a_o horse_n of_o all_o good_a virtue_n tractabilitie_n and_o endurance_n whereas_o colt_n of_o contrary_a disposition_n prove_v horse_n of_o dull_a cowardly_a and_o most_o unseruiceable_a quality_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o these_o hopeful_a and_o prophetic_a imagination_n chap._n 15._o how_o horse_n foal_v and_o mare_n foal_v grow_v and_o to_o know_v the_o continuance_n of_o their_o goodness_n touch_v the_o groat_n of_o horse_n &_o mare_n even_o from_o their_o first_o

refer_v it_o to_o the_o reader_n discretion_n to_o believe_v it_o as_o he_o list_v another_o be_v of_o opinion_n and_o to_o that_o opinion_n i_o must_v needs_o condescend_v for_o i_o find_v it_o in_o daily_a experience_n that_o after_o foal_v be_v foal_v the_o mare_n foal_n come_v to_o her_o full_a growth_n of_o height_n and_o length_n at_o five_o year_n of_o age_n but_o the_o horse-foale_a not_o before_o he_o be_v full_a six_o and_o from_o that_o time_n although_o some_o imagine_v they_o spread_v &_o grow_v in_o breadth_n and_o largeness_n till_o they_o be_v ten_o year_n of_o age_n yet_o i_o for_o my_o own_o part_n have_v diligent_o observe_v and_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o no_o horse_n do_v spread_v or_o grow_v brother_n or_o large_a after_o he_o be_v eight_o year_n of_o age_n at_o which_o time_n only_o he_o be_v complete_a and_o full_a in_o every_o member_n there_o be_v another_o which_o write_v that_o horse_n with_o bald_a or_o white_a face_n do_v not_o grow_v old_a so_o soon_o as_o other_o horse_n how_o he_o mean_v that_o say_n i_o scarce_o understand_v for_o most_o sure_a it_o be_v that_o nature_n as_o soon_o decay_v in_o they_o as_o in_o other_o but_o if_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o they_o do_v not_o appear_v old_a so_o soon_o as_o other_o horse_n than_o i_o be_o of_o his_o opinion_n because_o those_o grisseld_v hair_n which_o in_o horse_n of_o dark_a colour_n be_v the_o only_a mark_n of_o old_a age_n do_v never_o appear_v in_o a_o horse_n that_o have_v a_o white_a face_n as_o for_o the_o length_n of_o life_n in_o such_o horse_n i_o think_v it_o be_v short_a than_o in_o the_o other_o for_o bald_a face_n white_a leg_n above_o the_o knee_n or_o cambrel_n and_o such_o like_a superfluity_n of_o whiteness_n be_v the_o evident_a token_n of_o the_o imperfection_n of_o nature_n and_o where_o nature_n be_v imperfite_a there_o life_n be_v of_o least_o continuance_n now_o for_o as_o much_o as_o all_o horse_n do_v not_o attain_v to_o their_o full_a growth_n in_o one_o manner_n and_o fashion_n i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o they_o grow_v according_a to_o their_o several_a breed_v and_o first_o for_o our_o english_a horse_n they_o common_o do_v hold_v their_o shape_n till_o they_o be_v two_o year_n old_a but_o at_o three_o they_o lose_v all_o beauty_n and_o proportion_n appear_v to_o the_o eye_n weak_a loose_a and_o ill_n favouredlye_o cast_v no_o member_n answer_v other_o either_o in_o shape_n or_o fitness_n then_o at_o four_o year_n old_a they_o recover_v again_o the_o shape_n and_o good_a fashion_n of_o their_o body_n only_o they_o want_v neck_n and_o crest_n which_o begin_v not_o to_o rise_v or_o extend_v its_o comeliness_n till_o he_o be_v five_o year_n old_a and_o become_v perfect_a and_o complete_a at_o six_o year_n old_a the_o english_a horse_n grow_v altogether_o even_o and_o just_a and_o not_o as_o other_o horse_n do_v one_o while_o before_o and_o another_o while_n behind_o for_o whensoever_o you_o shall_v perceive_v he_o to_o grow_v uneven_a that_o be_v high_o behind_o then_o before_o or_o hygh_a before_o then_o behind_o be_v you_o well_o assure_v he_o will_v ever_o continue_v so_o all_o his_o life_n
