and_o when_o you_o return_v at_o your_o hour_n of_o feed_v to_o take_v away_o what_o be_v leave_v and_o to_o give_v he_o fresh_a till_o you_o have_v make_v he_o wanton_a and_o playfull_a to_o which_o

put_v he_o to_o any_o violent_a labour_n the_o design_n this_o week_n be_v to_o keep_v he_o in_o wind_n and_o breath_n and_o to_o prevent_v pursiveness_n but_o you_o be_v to_o observe_v that_o both_o your_o oat_n bean_n and_o bread_n be_v to_o be_v now_o order_v after_o another_o manner_n than_o you_o do_v before_o for_o first_o you_o must_v dry_v your_o oat_n well_o in_o the_o sun_n than_o put_v they_o into_o a_o clean_a bag_n and_o beat_v they_o sound_o with_o a_o flail_n or_o cudgel_n till_o you_o think_v they_o be_v hull_v then_o take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o bag_n and_o winnow_v they_o clean_o both_o from_o hull_n and_o dust_n and_o so_o give_v they_o to_o your_o horse_n as_o you_o have_v occasion_n your_o bean_n in_o like_a manner_n must_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o hull_n which_o be_v apt_a to_o breed_v glut_v and_o must_v either_o be_v throw_v away_o or_o give_v among_o chaf_n to_o some_o more_o ordinary_a horse_n and_o for_o your_o bread_n whereas_o before_o you_o only_o chip_v it_o now_o you_o must_v cut_v the_o crust_n clean_o away_o and_o dispose_v of_o it_o as_o you_o please_v for_o it_o be_v hard_a of_o digestion_n and_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o heat_n and_o dry_v his_o body_n and_o now_o that_o you_o be_v to_o put_v he_o into_o strict_a keep_n you_o be_v to_o make_v a_o fine_a sort_n of_o bread_n then_o before_o as_o thus_o take_v two_o peck_v of_o bean_n and_o two_o of_o wheat_n and_o grind_v they_o together_o but_o not_o too_o fine_a to_o prevent_v too_o much_o bran_n be_v in_o the_o bread_n and_o dress_v one_o peck_n of_o the_o meal_n through_o a_o fine_a range_v and_o knead_v it_o up_o with_o new_a ale-barm_n and_o the_o whites_n of_o a_o dozen_o new_a lay_v egg_n and_o so_o bake_v it_o in_o a_o loaf_n by_o itself_o and_o the_o rest_n dress_v through_o a_o boulter_n and_o knead_v it_o only_o with_o ale_n and_o barm_n and_o use_v it_o in_o all_o other_o point_n as_o the_o former_a now_o the_o peck-loaf_n be_v to_o be_v give_v your_o horse_n when_o you_o set_v he_o and_o the_o other_o at_o ordinary_a time_n this_o bread_n assist_v nature_n much_o in_o increase_v the_o strength_n courage_n and_o wind_n of_o your_o horse_n provide_v you_o add_v thereto_o as_o i_o have_v always_o tell_v you_o true_a labour_n as_o any_o bread_n whatsoever_o nay_o even_o as_o either_o of_o m._n de-greys_a sort_n of_o bread_n which_o he_o

to_o make_v thus_o take_v wheat_n meal_n one_o peck_n rye-meal_n bean_n and_o oatmeal_n all_o ground_n very_o small_a of_o each_o half_n a_o peck_n aniseed_n and_o liquorish_a of_o each_o one_o ounce_n white_a sugar-candy_n four_o ounce_n all_o in_o fine_a powder_n the_o yolk_n and_o white_n of_o twenty_o egg_n well_o beat_v and_o so_o much_o whitewine_n as_o will_v knead_v it_o into_o a_o

now_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o have_v cite_v this_o be_v because_o i_o have_v hear_v several_a who_o will_v be_v think_v know_v horseman_n applaud_v this_o very_a bread_n beyond_o any_o other_o to_o be_v meet_v with_o in_o any_o book_n though_o for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v find_v nothing_o excellent_a in_o the_o whole_a composition_n for_o first_o oatmeal_n though_o it_o be_v strong_a yet_o it_o be_v a_o dry_a grain_n hard_o of_o digestion_n and_o a_o great_a dryer_n up_o of_o the_o blood_n the_o wheat_n be_v of_o a_o dry_a quality_n likewise_o though_o it_o be_v light_a for_o the_o aniseed_n and_o liquorish_a they_o be_v not_o only_o physical_a but_o hot_a also_o so_o that_o the_o body_n become_v over_o heat_v and_o thereby_o costive_a and_o yet_o these_o people_n will_v not_o be_v persuade_v but_o these_o drug_n will_v make_v he_o long-winded_a possible_o they_o may_v assist_v he_o in_o neigh_v as_o some_o man_n say_v it_o do_v songster_n in_o vocal_a music_n wherein_o there_o be_v no_o exercise_n of_o the_o body_n use_v but_o where_o bodily_a strength_n be_v require_v i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v it_o more_o prejudicial_a than_o profitable_a but_o here_o some_o will_v object_v that_o there_o be_v rye_n and_o bean_n both_o which_o be_v moisten_v especial_o the_o rye_n which_o be_v both_o cold_a and_o moist_a and_o be_v the_o very_a reason_n degrey_n himself_o give_v why_o he_o put_v rye_n into_o his_o latter_a bread_n because_o say_v he_o rye_n be_v a_o loosner_n and_o a_o cool_a and_o therefore_o it_o will_v make_v the_o horse_n more_o soluble_a i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o if_o his_o body_n have_v feed_v proportionate_a to_o his_o labour_n the_o horse_n will_v continue_v in_o a_o right_a state_n of_o health_n yet_o since_o he_o be_v hot_a by_o nature_n and_o labour_n may_v increase_v his_o natural_a heat_n and_o render_v he_o costive_a therefore_o i_o have_v all_o along_o prescribd_v he_o rye-bread_n alone_o as_o physical_a but_o here_o let_v the_o horse_n be_v in_o what_o condition_n soever_o whether_o bind_v in_o his_o body_n or_o laxative_a yet_o rye_n be_v a_o part_n of_o your_o bread_n your_o horse_n must_v continual_o feed_v thereon_o which_o have_v this_o undeniable_a disadvantage_n that_o if_o he_o be_v loose_a in_o his_o body_n this_o bread_n to_o use_v de_fw-mi grey_n own_o word_n will_v make_v he_o more_o soluble_a and_o now_o whilst_o i_o be_o discourse_v of_o horsebread_n i_o can_v but_o condemn_v another_o curiosity_n in_o some_o feeder_n who_o think_v by_o dress_v their_o meal_n to_o the_o utmost_a degree_n of_o fineness_n they_o do_v wonder_n and_o that_o such_o pure_a food_n must_v of_o necessity_n bring_v he_o to_o the_o great_a perfection_n imaginable_a both_o of_o body_n and_o wind._n but_o in_o this_o point_n i_o think_v they_o be_v deceive_v for_o the_o meal_n be_v dress_v so_o very_o fine_a nothing_o remain_v but_o the_o quintessence_n of_o it_o which_o though_o it_o be_v lighten_v by_o barm_n and_o whites_n of_o egg_n yet_o when_o it_o be_v above_o a_o day_n old_a it_o will_v begin_v to_o harden_v as_o may_v be_v observe_v by_o manchet_n and_o especial_o if_o oatmeal_n be_v in_o it_o by_o reason_n of_o its_o dry_a quality_n whereby_o it_o will_v not_o be_v so_o easy_a of_o digestion_n as_o it_o will_v be_v otherwise_o if_o it_o have_v no_o bran_n in_o it_o and_o by_o consequence_n will_v be_v more_o apt_a to_o oppress_v his_o stomach_n if_o he_o be_v heat_v before_o it_o be_v thorough_o digest_v and_o so_o breed_v raw_a crudity_n and_o a_o inflammation_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n hazard_v a_o surfeit_n than_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v of_o worse_a consequence_n to_o a_o horse_n that_o be_v match_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o i_o advise_v that_o your_o horsebread_n shall_v only_o be_v make_v of_o wheat_n and_o bean_n and_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v dress_v too_o fine_a nor_o too_o course_n but_o so_o as_o that_o there_o may_v be_v neither_o so_o much_o bran_n leave_v as_o to_o annoy_v the_o blood_n nor_o so_o little_a as_o to_o make_v your_o bread_n too_o close_o and_o solid_a but_o you_o may_v leave_v some_o on_o purpose_n to_o scour_v the_o maw_n and_o further_o your_o horse_n digestion_n and_o thus_o much_o by_o way_n of_o digression_n have_v speak_v to_o the_o first_o condition_n of_o horse_n which_o we_o

backpart_n and_o all_o the_o body_n be_v red_a except_o the_o belly_n which_o be_v white_a in_o helvetia_n they_o be_v black_a and_o brand_v and_o they_o be_v hunt_v at_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o leaf_n when_o the_o tree_n grow_v naked_a for_o they_o run_v and_o leap_v from_o bough_n to_o bough_n in_o a_o most_o admirable_a and_o agile_a manner_n and_o when_o the_o leave_n be_v on_o they_o can_v be_v so_o well_o discern_v they_o be_v of_o three_o colour_n in_o the_o first_o age_n black_a in_o the_o second_o of_o a_o rusty_a iron-colour_n and_o last_o when_o old_a they_o be_v full_a of_o white_a hoar_a hair_n their_o tooth_n be_v like_o the_o tooth_n of_o mouse_n have_v the_o two_o under-teeth_n very_o long_o and_o sharp_a their_o tail_n be_v always_o as_o big_a as_o their_o body_n and_o it_o lie_v continual_o on_o their_o back_n when_o they_o sleep_v or_o sit_v still_o and_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v give_v they_o for_o a_o cover_n in_o the_o summertime_n they_o build_v they_o nest_n which_o by_o some_o be_v call_v dray_n in_o the_o top_n of_o the_o tree_n very_o artificial_o with_o stick_n and_o moss_n with_o other_o thing_n the_o wood_n afford_v and_o then_o they_o fill_v it_o with_o nut_n for_o winter-provision_n and_o do_v sleep_n like_o the_o alpine_a mouse_n most_o part_n thereof_o very_o sound_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o the_o beat_n of_o the_o outside_n of_o their_o dray_n will_v not_o wake_v they_o when_o they_o leap_v from_o tree_n to_o tree_n they_o use_v their_o tail_n instead_o of_o wing_n leap_v a_o great_a distance_n and_o be_v support_v without_o

for_o by_o reason_n of_o a_o strong_a backbone_n and_o fleshy_a part_n she_o will_v abide_v as_o great_a a_o stroke_n as_o a_o dog_n if_o they_o be_v drive_v to_o the_o ground_n from_o the_o tree_n and_o they_o creep_v into_o hedge_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o their_o weariness_n for_o such_o be_v the_o lofty_a mind_n of_o this_o little_a beast_n that_o while_o her_o strength_n last_v she_o

wild_a cat_n be_v a_o sort_n of_o virmine_n which_o we_o use_v here_o in_o england_n common_o to_o hunt_n and_o as_o necessary_a to_o be_v hunt_v as_o any_o virmin_n can_v be_v for_o the_o question_n may_v be_v doubtful_a whether_o either_o fox_n or_o badger_n do_v more_o hurt_n than_o the_o wild_a cat_n do_v since_o there_o be_v so_o many_o warren_n every_o where_o throughout_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n which_o be_v very_o much_o infest_a by_o the_o wild_a cat._n it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o long-experienced_a huntsman_n that_o she_o leave_v as_o great_a scent_n and_o make_v as_o good_a a_o cry_n for_o the_o time_n as_o any_o vermin_n that_o be_v hunt_v especial_o the_o martern_a pass_v all_o other_o vermin_n for_o sweetness_n of_o scent_n and_o her_o case_n be_v a_o noble_a

be_v very_o good_a for_o sinew_n that_o be_v shrink_v these_o two_o chase_n be_v not_o to_o be_v seek_v purposely_o unless_o the_o huntsman_n do_v see_v they_o where_o they_o prey_v and_o can_v go_v ready_o to_o they_o but_o if_o a_o hound_n chance_v to_o cross_v they_o he_o will_v hunt_v it_o as_o soon_o as_o any_o chase_n and_o they_o make_v a_o noble_a cry_n as_o long_o as_o they_o stand_v up_o when_o they_o can_v do_v it_o no_o long_o they_o will_v take_v a_o tree_n and_o so_o deceive_v the_o hound_n but_o if_o the_o hound_n hold_v in_o to_o they_o and_o will_v not_o give_v it_o over_o so_o than_o they_o will_v leap_v from_o one_o tree_n to_o another_o and_o make_v great_a shift_n for_o their_o life_n with_o much_o pastime_n to_o the_o huntsman_n when_o they_o be_v kill_v you_o must_v hold_v they_o up_o upon_o a_o pike_a staff_n and_o hallow_v in_o all_o your_o hound_n and_o then_o reward_v they_o with_o some_o meat_n for_o the_o flesh_n of_o these_o vermin_n be_v naught_o for_o hound_n a_o short_a account_n of_o some_o particular_a beast_n that_o be_v not_o hunt_v in_o england_n but_o in_o foreign_a country_n the_o nature_n and_o property_n of_o a_o wolf_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o its_o hunt_n heretofore_o i_o read_v that_o there_o be_v many_o wolf_n in_o england_n but_o now_o there_o be_v none_o however_o they_o be_v still_o in_o ireland_n but_o their_o number_n be_v very_o much_o decrease_v within_o these_o thirty_o year_n and_o that_o they_o may_v more_o and_o more_o decrease_n be_v so_o pernicious_a to_o all_o sort_n of_o cattle_n i_o think_v good_a to_o publish_v the_o nature_n and_o manner_n of_o their_o hunt_n first_o as_o to_o their_o nature_n they_o go_v a_o clicket_v in_o february_n and_o continue_v in_o that_o manner_n ten_o or_o twelve_o day_n where_o many_o wolf_n be_v many_o will_v follow_v one_o bitch_n as_o dog_n will_v follow_v a_o bitch_n that_o be_v salt_n but_o she_o will_v be_v only_o line_v with_o one_o a_o notable_a story_n i_o have_v hear_v when_o i_o be_v in_o ireland_n and_o attest_v for_o a_o truth_n by_o the_o inhabitant_n that_o a_o bitch_n wolf_n proud_a will_v suffer_v a_o great_a many_o of_o the_o male_a to_o follow_v she_o and_o will_v carry_v they_o after_o she_o sometime_o eight_o or_o ten_o day_n without_o meat_n drink_v or_o rest_v and_o when_o they_o be_v so_o tire_v that_o they_o can_v travel_v far_o she_o will_v first_o lie_v down_o then_o will_v the_o rest_n follow_v her_o example_n when_o she_o perceive_v that_o they_o be_v all_o asleep_a and_o through_o weariness_n snore_v then_o will_v she_o arise_v and_o awake_v that_o wolf_n which_o she_o observe_v to_o follow_v her_o most_o and_o have_v so_o do_v entice_v he_o with_o she_o far_o from_o the_o rest_n and_o suffer_v he_o to_o line_v
