they_o guelte_n then_o stone_v for_o they_o love_v not_o only_o to_o ride_v easy_o by_o the_o way_n but_o also_o very_o fast_a and_o therewith_o to_o have_v their_o horse_n so_o quiet_a as_o they_o

when_o nothing_o else_o will_n moreover_o gueldinge_n do_v not_o neygh_v so_o often_o nor_o so_o loud_o as_o stone_v horse_n do_v for_o the_o which_o cause_n the_o sarmatian_n in_o all_o their_o secret_a enterprise_n and_o exploit_n do_v use_n to_o serve_v upon_o gueldinge_n and_o not_o upon_o stone_a horse_n and_o also_o our_o light_a horseman_n here_o in_o england_n do_v in_o like_a

for_o to_o guelde_v he_o young_a will_v hinder_v his_o growth_n very_o much_o again_o if_o he_o be_v much_o elder_a his_o neck_n will_v wax_v great_a and_o the_o string_n of_o his_o stone_n will_v
