that_o i_o find_v which_o carry_v in_o it_o any_o substantial_a ground_n of_o reason_n be_v to_o make_v a_o horse_n amble_v with_o the_o help_n of_o a_o new_a deep_o plough_v field_n where_o a_o

if_o it_o be_v tender_a and_o good_a a_o snaffle_n very_o round_o smooth_a and_o full_a of_o a_o size_n somewhat_o big_a than_o a_o ordinary_a travel_a snaffle_n and_o with_o that_o ride_v your_o

this_o field_n you_o shall_v have_v either_o some_o fair_a high_a way_n or_o else_o some_o plain_a green_a meare_n and_o then_o be_v upon_o the_o highway_n you_o shall_v pluck_v up_o your_o bridle_n with_o both_o your_o hand_n so_o that_o your_o snaffle_n may_v not_o rest_v upon_o his_o châ—_n but_o upon_o the_o week_n of_o his_o mouth_n and_o then_o spur_v he_o gentle_o forward_o see_v if_o he_o will_v alter_v his_o pace_n which_o if_o he_o will_v not_o as_o it_o be_v most_o likely_a you_o shall_v then_o thrust_v he_o upon_o the_o deep_a land_n and_o there_o you_o shall_v toil_v he_o up_o and_o down_o for_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n in_o as_o swift_a a_o foot_n pace_n as_o you_o can_v make_v he_o go_v suffer_v he_o not_o by_o any_o mean_n to_o trot_v although_o he_o be_v never_o
