follow_v the_o same_o and_o special_o now_o while_o the_o queens_n majesty_n mind_v so_o gracious_o to_o provide_v for_o the_o breed_n and_o keep_v of_o great_a horse_n which_o no_o doubt_n shall_v

towching_n the_o order_n observe_v in_o this_o book_n very_o necessary_a to_o be_v read_v and_o well_o consider_v before_o he_o enter_v any_o further_o endevor_v myself_o gentle_a reader_n for_o your_o better_a understand_v to_o reduce_v gryson_n book_n which_o in_o the_o italion_n tongue_n do_v treat_v of_o the_o art_n of_o ride_v and_o of_o break_v great_a horse_n into_o a_o more_o brief_a and_o compendious_a way_n of_o teachinge_a than_o he_o to_o my_o judgement_n have_v therein_o observe_v i_o seek_v first_o to_o what_o end_n such_o labour_n be_v chief_o to_o be_v employ_v upon_o great_a horse_n and_o i_o find_v that_o either_o it_o be_v to_o make_v they_o horse_n of_o service_n or_o else_o horse_n of_o pleasure_n call_v stirer_n then_o i_o consider_v what_o thing_n be_v incident_a to_o a_o horse_n of_o service_n and_o what_o to_o a_o horse_n of_o pleasure_n or_o stirer_fw-fr and_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v common_a to_o they_o both_o and_o which_o be_v appertain_v to_o each_o one_o particular_o and_o first_o i_o find_v that_o to_o a_o horse_n of_o service_n belong_v these_o chief_a point_n here_o folowinge_v that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o trot_v clean_o &_o lusty_o to_o stop_v light_o to_o turn_v on_o both_o hand_n rede_o to_o galloppe_n strong_o to_o maneg_v with_o single_a turn_n sure_o and_o last_o of_o all_o to_o pass_v a_o career_fw-fr swift_o and_o in_o all_o his_o do_n from_o the_o begin_n to_o the_o end_n to_o reane_v well_o and_o to_o bear_v his_o head_n stedde_o all_o which_o thing_n be_v also_o common_a to_o the_o stirrer_n but_o than_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o the_o stirrer_n beside_o all_o this_o learn_v to_o bind_v aloft_o with_o all_o four_o &_o to_o yark_n withal_o to_o gallop_v the_o gallop_n galliard_n to_o fetch_v the_o capriole_fw-la to_o do_v the_o coruetti_n and_o such_o like_a kind_n of_o salte_n but_o yet_o this_o suffice_v not_o unless_o i_o may_v also_o know_v the_o nigh_a mean_n for_o a_o horse_n to_o attain_v to_o these_o feat_n &_o what_o order_n be_v therein_o to_o be_v observe_v which_o while_o i_o seek_v behold_v the_o rider_n office_n whole_o discover_v whereby_o i_o may_v well_o perceive_v that_o unless_o the_o rider_n be_v first_o instruct_v in_o all_o those_o thing_n that_o appertain_v unto_o his_o office_n the_o horse_n can_v never_o be_v well_o break_v wherefore_o mind_v to_o comprehend_v all_o thing_n in_o three_o book_n i_o think_v it_o most_o meet_a to_o begin_v with_o the_o rider_n in_o teach_v he_o first_o how_o to_o know_v a_o good_a horse_n and_o apt_a to_o be_v teach_v aswell_o by_o his_o colour_n &_o mark_n as_o shape_n to_o thintent_v he_o bestow_v not_o his_o labour_n upon_o a_o jade_n or_o roil_v then_o how_o to_o tame_v he_o and_o to_o make_v he_o so_o gentle_a as_o he_o may_v suffer_v to_o be_v ride_v after_o that_o how_o to_o sit_v he_o and_o to_o behave_v himself_o in_o the_o point_n like_o a_o horseman_n then_o i_o procee_v further_o declare_v the_o three_o chief_a point_n wherein_o the_o perfection_n of_o a_o horseman_n consist_v that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o know_v how_o to_o help_v to_o correct_v and_o to_o cherish_v his_o horse_n and_o with_o what_o instrument_n and_o general_o how_o and_o when_o to_o use_v they_o and_o so_o i_o end_v the_o first_o book_n that_o do_v i_o come_v to_o the_o horse_n lesson_n which_o he_o have_v to_o learn_v for_o his_o part_n declare_v what_o order_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v therein_o to_o which_o soever_o of_o those_o two_o end_n beforesaid_a he_o be_v break_v and_o to_o every_o lesson_n i_o join_v such_o help_n and_o correction_n as_o be_v mete_v to_o be_v use_v for_o redress_n of_o such_o fault_n as_o most_o common_o chance_v therein_o which_o fault_n for_o the_o most_o part_n i_o call_v error_n make_v a_o distinction_n between_o error_n and_o vice_n attribute_v error_n to_o the_o lack_n of_o knowledge_n and_o vice_n to_o nature_n or_o evil_a custom_n as_o these_o be_v vice_n to_o be_v restif_a to_o be_v rammege_n to_o lie_v down_o in_o the_o water_n to_o be_v skittishe_a which_o for_o distinction_n sake_n i_o do_v otherwise_o call_v general_a fault_n because_o they_o may_v chance_v in_o every_o lesson_n of_o the_o most_o part_n of_o which_o fault_n i_o do_v treat_v several_o in_o the_o three_o book_n declare_v therewith_o the_o correction_n of_o the_o same_o for_o otherwise_o i_o shoulbe_n be_v drive_v to_o make_v many_o digression_n and_o to_o interrupte_v the_o tenoure_n of_o my_o talk_n which_o i_o love_v not_o to_o do_v and_o i_o say_v here_o of_o the_o most_o part_n because_o there_o be_v some_o vice_n so_o peculiar_a &_o so_o incident_a to_o certain_a of_o the_o horse_n lesson_n as_o i_o be_o force_v to_o myngle_v the_o correction_n of_o the_o same_o even_o among_o the_o error_n as_o occasion_n require_v and_o yet_o thereby_o no_o order_n break_v at_o all_o as_o any_o man_n of_o judgement_n i_o be_o sure_a will_n easy_o confess_v then_o the_o horse_n be_v thorough_o break_v in_o all_o point_n meet_v for_o he_o to_o learn_v be_v he_o horse_n of_o service_n or_o stirrer_n i_o finallye_o teach_v you_o how_o to_o ride_v he_o to_o the_o best_a show_n before_o a_o prince_n and_o there_o end_v the_o second_o book_n in_o the_o three_o book_n i_o treat_v only_o of_o the_o correction_n of_o the_o general_a vice_n aforesaid_a and_o of_o the_o diversity_n of_o bit_n and_o to_o what_o purpose_n every_o one_o serve_v the_o order_n of_o all_o which_o three_o book_n shall_v more_o plain_o appear_v unto_o you_o by_o the_o content_n of_o the_o chapter_n hereafter_o follow_v and_o though_o gryson_n seem_v to_o use_v the_o like_a order_n that_o i_o do_v in_o the_o very_a beginning_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o continue_v the_o same_o but_o immediate_o make_v so_o many_o dygression_n and_o interlace_v so_o many_o and_o dyvers_a matter_n together_o as_o be_v enough_o to_o confound_v the_o memory_n of_o a_o very_a dyscrete_a reader_n
