if_o thou_o take_v up_o thy_o horse_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o winter_n before_o he_o have_v taste_v of_o any_o hardness_n thou_o shall_v never_o make_v he_o a_o good_a stable_n horse_n for_o while_o the_o grass_n be_v better_a than_o hay_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o he_o shall_v eat_v hay_o well_o but_o after_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o grass_n be_v go_v so_o that_o it_o nourish_v so_o

other_o reason_n to_o be_v find_v why_o our_o horse_n shall_v not_o eat_v straw_n but_o that_o we_o take_v they_o up_o while_o they_o be_v so_o greasy_a fat_a &_o idle_a by_o feed_n they_o in_o deep_a

thou_o shall_v within_o one_o month_n after_o he_o come_v to_o the_o house_n by_o feed_n he_o with_o good_a straw_n and_o reasonable_a store_n of_o provender_n have_v full_o recover_v the_o former_a

till_o i_o have_v bring_v he_o to_o turn_v in_o so_o narrow_a room_n as_o be_v possible_a the_o which_o i_o must_v needs_o confess_v to_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a way_n of_o all_o other_o for_o

to_o run_v backward_o or_o to_o rear_v on_o end_n yea_o by_o turn_v my_o horse_n too_o short_a at_o the_o first_o i_o may_v not_o only_o disorder_v he_o but_o also_o utter_o spoil_v his_o back_n

a_o pit_n or_o upon_o a_o hill_n side_n to_o reform_v those_o horse_n that_o be_v strong_a of_o body_n lusty_a and_o well_o able_a to_o endure_v travail_n and_o those_o that_o be_v hard_a of_o mouth_n

must_v make_v in_o a_o pit_n or_o upon_o a_o hill_n side_n differ_v nothing_o in_o fashion_n from_o the_o other_o ring_n but_o in_o quality_n there_o be_v great_a difference_n for_o that_o the_o one_o in_o five_o time_n more_o painful_a than_o the_o other_o because_o in_o tread_v the_o one_o half_a of_o this_o ring_n you_o must_v ride_v uphill_o and_o the_o other_o half_a your_o horse_n go_v downehill_n which_o will_v make_v any_o horse_n be_v he_o never_o so_o hard_a of_o mouth_n or_o unnimble_a of_o foot_n or_o subject_a to_o lean_v on_o the_o one_o side_n in_o his_o turn_n wonderful_o
