and_o a_o great_a cool_a and_o which_o he_o prescribe_v 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 paste_n make_v this_o into_o great_a loaf_n bake_v they_o well_o and_o after_o they_o be_v two_o or_o three_o day_n old_a let_v he_o eat_v of_o this_o bread_n but_o chip_n away_o the_o out_o side_n 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 wh●ch_o be_v both_o cold_a and_o moist_a and_o be_v the_o very_a reason_n de_fw-fr grey_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 ●f_a 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 prescribe_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 ●our_n 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 be_v 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 propose_v viz._n melancholy_a and_o low_a in_o flesh_n we_o be_v now_o to_o speak_v of_o those_o which_o be_v brisk_a and_o lively_a which_o if_o your_o horse_n be_v so_o that_o when_o you_o lead_v he_o out_o of_o the_o stable_a he_o will_v leap_v and_o play_v about_o you_o than_o you_o must_v not_o only_o avoid_v give_v he_o the_o scour_v last_o mention_v of_o sack_n and_o diapente_fw-la but_o any_o other_o whatsoever_o for_o there_o be_v no_o foul_a humour_n or_o any_o superfluous_a matter_n leave_v in_o his_o body_n for_o the_o physic_n to_o work_v on_o it_o will_v prey_v upon_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o body_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n weaken_v it_o which_o it_o must_v be_v your_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o preserve_v by_o full_a feeding_n and_o sound_a labour_n which_o will_v necessary_o produce_v a_o perfect_a wind_n which_o be_v the_o support_n of_o strength_n for_o when_o his_o wind_n once_o fail_v his_o strength_n avail_v nothing_o as_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o it_o if_o your_o horse_n be_v engage_v in_o a_o hunting-match_n you_o shall_v sweat_v he_o twice_o this_o week_n but_o not_o by_o hunt_v he_o after_o the_o hare_n as_o former_o but_o by_o trainscent_n since_o the_o former_a on_o this_o occasion_n may_v prove_v deceitful_a for_o though_o the_o hound_n be_v very_o swift_a yet_o the_o scent_n be_v cold_a the_o dog_n will_v often_o be_v at_o fault_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o horse_n will_v have_v many_o sob_n so_o that_o when_o he_o come_v to_o run_v trainscent_n in_o earnest_a your_o horse_n will_v look_v for_o ease_n his_o wind_n be_v not_o so_o perfect_a as_o in_o art_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v therefore_o lead_v your_o trainscent_n with_o a_o dead_a cat_n over_o such_o ground_n as_o you_o be_v likely_a to_o run_v on_o and_o best_a agree_v with_o your_o horse_n humour_n and_o be_v sure_o make_v choice_n of_o the_o fleet_a hound_n you_o can_v get_v and_o then_o your_o horse_n will_v be_v keep_v up_o to_o the_o height_n of_o his_o speed_n as_o to_o the_o number_n of_o trainscent_n that_o you_o be_v to_o ride_v at_o a_o time_n ●hat_n you_o must_v order_v according_a to_o your_o match_n or_o which_o be_v better_o according_a to_o your_o horse_n strength_n and_o ability_n for_o perform_v his_o heat_n for_o if_o you_o labour_v he_o beyond_o his_o strength_n it_o will_v take_v he_o off_o his_o speed_n weaken_v his_o limb_n and_o daunt_v his_o spirit_n if_o you_o give_v he_o too_o little_a exercise_n it_o will_v give_v opportunity_n for_o pursiveness_n and_o ill_a humour_n as_o glut_v etc._n etc._n to_o increase_v in_o he_o and_o gain_v in_o he_o a_o habit_n of_o laziness_n that_o when_o he_o come_v to_o be_v put_v to_o labour_v above_o his_o usual_a rate_n he_o will_v grow_v restiff_n and_o settle_v like_o a_o jade_n either_o of_o which_o will_v redound_v to_o your_o discredit_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v from_o your_o own_o knowledge_n in_o the_o state_n of_o his_o body_n and_o not_o from_o any_o general_a direction_n in_o writing_n that_o you_o must_v steer_v your_o course_n only_o this_o

not_o above_o twice_o in_o your_o whole_a month_n keep_v and_o and_o if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o first_o fortnight_n it_o will_v be_v the_o better_a for_o than_o he_o will_v have_v a_o complete_a fortnight_n to_o recover_v his_o strength_n again_o and_o for_o his_o labour_n in_o his_o last_o fortnight_n let_v it_o be_v proportionate_a to_o his_o strength_n and_o wind_n as_o sometime_o half_a
