it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n better_o for_o they_o even_o although_o they_o shall_v receive_v no_o other_o advantage_n by_o it_o but_o this_o that_o they_o will_v eat_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n better_a appetite_n but_o perhaps_o some_o may_v say_v that_o horse_n have_v be_v long_o enough_o bridle_v the_o whole_a day_n before_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o let_v they_o stand_v so_o long_o unnecessar_o in_o the_o stable_n without_o eat_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o beside_o what_o i_o have_v already_o say_v there_o be_v many_o horse_n to_o who_o it_o be_v very_o fit_a to_o suffer_v the_o froth_n and_o foam_n to_o come_v in_o their_o mouth_n by_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o bit_n which_o oblige_v they_o to_o move_v their_o tongue_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o moisten_v their_o mouth_n which_o give_v they_o a_o better_a relish_n of_o what_o they_o eat_v whereas_o if_o their_o mouth_n be_v not_o thus_o refresh_v they_o will_v eat_v but_o a_o very_a short_a while_n so_o that_o a_o man_n thereby_o rather_o gain_v as_o loss_n any_o time_n contrary_a to_o the_o common_a maxim_n of_o the_o hostler-boye_n you_o be_v also_o to_o observe_v this_o by_o the_o way_n that_o if_o your_o horse_n have_v be_v very_o warm_a and_o that_o you_o can_v not_o have_v the_o conveniency_n to_o cause_v he_o drink_v upon_o the_o road_n he_o will_v when_o unbridled_a eat_v but_o very_o little_a although_o you_o have_v exact_o observe_v all_o the_o direction_n i_o have_v be_v give_v and_o that_o because_o he_o be_v much_o pre_v and_o trouble_v with_o thirst_n therefore_o in_o that_o case_n you_o be_v to_o give_v he_o such_o a_o quantity_n of_o oat_n wash_v in_o ale_n or_o beer_n as_o you_o shall_v judge_v sufficient_a however_o less_o if_o you_o intend_v to_o feed_v he_o again_o after_o he_o have_v once_o drink_v many_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o people_n spoil_v their_o horse_n by_o give_v they_o oat_n before_o their_o water_n because_o say_v they_o the_o water_n make_v the_o oat_n to_o pass_v too_o soon_o and_o so_o undigested_a out_o of_o the_o stomach_n i_o again_o think_v that_o it_o be_v good_a to_o feed_v with_o oat_n both_o before_o and_o after_o water_v although_o it_o be_v common_o the_o custom_n not_o to_o do_v it_o till_o after_o the_o carrier_n and_o coachman_n upon_o their_o quick_a dispatch_n give_v it_o always_o after_o water_v neither_o be_v it_o without_o some_o appearance_n of_o reason_n that_o they_o thus_o feed_v with_o oat_n only_o after_o water_v because_o the_o water_n do_v not_o remain_v so_o long_o in_o the_o stomach_n but_o quick_o pass_v so_o that_o the_o stomach_n be_v not_o at_o all_o weaken_a with_o it_o and_o the_o oat_n which_o be_v of_o a_o porous_a and_o spongious_a body_n retain_v abundance_n and_o as_o much_o of_o the_o moisture_n of_o the_o water_n as_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o horse_n this_o be_v the_o only_a reason_n why_o people_n feed_v with_o oat_n only_o
