diet_n pamper_v he_o and_o get_v he_o into_o lust_n and_o strength_n make_v he_o to_o endure_v no_o more_o labour_n than_o you_o be_v force_v unto_o for_o preservation_n of_o his_o wind_n and_o let_v your_o strong_a scour_a be_v a_o sweet_a mash_n of_o maulte_n which_o as_o it_o scour_v so_o it_o strengthen_v and_o comfort_v to_o he_o you_o may_v spare_v sweat_n and_o night_n air_n or_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o abate_v his_o strength_n or_o flesh_n if_o that_o horse_n which_o run_v best_a low_a and_o poor_a be_v high_a and_o fat_a then_o to_o he_o must_v you_o use_v the_o contrary_a mean_a which_o mean_v i_o will_v express_v in_o a_o large_a manner_n show_v the_o true_a art_n of_o dyeting_n in_o he_o because_o he_o crave_v all_o the_o help_n that_o may_v be_v wish_v you_o to_o use_v the_o same_o manner_n to_o all_o run_a horse_n of_o what_o nature_n soever_o only_o reserve_v to_o your_o discretion_n matter_n of_o extremity_n have_v therefore_o make_v your_o match_n and_o take_v such_o sufficient_a time_n as_o in_o good_a discretion_n shall_v be_v requisite_a enter_v well_o into_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o state_n of_o your_o horse_n body_n which_o find_v to_o be_v strong_a full_o of_o lust_n and_o courageous_a through_o his_o great_a fatness_n yet_o by_o that_o mean_a so_o pur●ie_a kettie_a and_o thick_o wind_v that_o he_o can_v show_v that_o wonderful_a speed_n and_o goodness_n which_o otherwise_o he_o will_v demonstrate_v thus_o enter_v he_o into_o his_o diet_n first_o next_o his_o skin_n lay_v a_o fair_a linen_n sheet_n because_o horse_n natural_o love_v to_o be_v sweet_o keep_v and_o the_o more_o neat_a they_o be_v the_o more_o proud_a and_o please_a to_o themselves_o next_o the_o sheet_n lay_v a_o blankette_n or_o two_o and_o over_o they_o a_o house_n cloth_n of_o canvas_n or_o sackcloth_n bind_v these_o close_a before_o your_o horse_n breast_n and_o then_o gird_v they_o on_o with_o a_o sursingle_a stop_v it_o round_o about_o with_o

for_o these_o fore_n mention_v thing_n be_v this_o first_o for_o the_o linen_n sheet_n as_o it_o be_v neat_a and_o please_a to_o the_o horse_n so_o it_o carry_v this_o commodity_n when_o nature_n shall_v so_o vehement_o strive_v in_o the_o beast_n as_o what_o through_o his_o extreme_a fatness_n unusual_a warm_a keep_n and_o continual_a rest_n he_o shall_v as_o many_o time_n he_o will_v break_v into_o great_a sweat_n insomuch_o as_o when_o you_o come_v to_o he_o you_o shall_v find_v he_o all_o of_o a_o water_n the_o linen_n be_v next_o his_o skin_n even_o as_o the_o force_n of_o nature_n shall_v leave_v his_o work_n so_o will_n the_o linen_n dry_a and_o be_v no_o further_o annoyance_n whereas_o if_o the_o woollen_a shall_v lie_v next_o his_o skin_n it_o will_v not_o only_o force_v he_o to_o sweat_v unnatural_o but_o also_o fauster_n and_o continue_v his_o sweat_n till_o it_o turn_v to_o faintness_n and_o then_o as_o the_o sweat_v proceed_v of_o natural_a cause_n strengthen_v comfort_v and_o make_v clean_o the_o body_n so_o those_o be_v force_v weaken_v dull_v and_o make_v faint_a every_o part_n and_o member_n for_o the_o many_o clothes_n before_o prescribe_v they_o be_v for_o two_o cause_n first_o to_o be_v a_o help_n to_o nature_n and_o a_o occasion_n now_o and_o then_o to_o sweat_v as_o he_o sleep_v or_o take_v his_o rest_n if_o he_o be_v extreme_a foul_a and_o most_o abundant_o full_a of_o gross_a umor_n for_o otherwise_o the_o ●elfe_n sweat_v will_v not_o chance_v and_o this_o manner_n of_o disolue_v these_o umor_n be_v most_o natural_a and_o wholesome_a the_o second_o cause_n be_v a_o horse_n be_v pester_v and_o as_o it_o be_v load_v with_o many_o clothes_n when_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v strip_v naked_a and_o ease_v of_o they_o will_v find_v himself_o so_o light_a nimble_a and_o deliver_v that_o in_o his_o course_n he_o will_v show_v the_o uttermost_a ability_n he_o can_v possible_a again_o be_v keep_v so_o warm_a in_o his_o clothes_n when_o he_o be_v naked_a the_o cold_a air_n will_v be_v so_o pierce_v that_o whereas_o otherwise_o a_o course_n of_o three_o or_o four_o mile_n will_v thrust_v he_o into_o a_o extreme_a faint_a sweat_n by_o this_o mean_a such_o a_o course_n shall_v but_o maintain_v a_o natural_a heat_n without_o sweat_n or_o faintness_n for_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o stable_n i_o have_v rehearse_v a_o reason_n in_o the_o former_a chapter_n therefore_o in_o this_o place_n i_o will_v yield_v no_o other_o but_o this_o because_o the_o horse_n shall_v not_o distinguish_v the_o day_n from_o the_o night_n but_o be_v keep_v dark_a take_v his_o rest_n in_o both_o my_o reason_n for_o the_o much_o litter_n i_o will_v have_v he_o continual_o stand_v upon_o be_v this_o first_o because_o it_o will_v defend_v he_o from_o the_o cold_a dampishnes_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o be_v wonderful_a unwholesome_a second_o because_o he_o shall_v not_o detain_v and_o hold_v his_o urine_n long_o in_o his_o bladder_n then_o willing_o nature_n will_v which_o if_o he_o have_v litter_n under_o he_o he_o will_v not_o do_v but_o if_o he_o want_v undoubted_o he_o will_v because_o natural_o horse_n will_v refuse_v to_o piss_v upon_o the_o bare_a plauncher_n last_o because_o it_o will_v occasion_v he_o to_o lie_v down_o and_o take_v his_o rest_n when_o otherwise_o he_o will_v not_o and_o he_o that_o will_v expect_v his_o horse_n shall_v take_v great_a toil_n abroad_o must_v provide_v that_o he_o may_v rest_v at_o home_n these_o foresay_a reason_n be_v well_o consider_v you_o shall_v consequent_o see_v that_o
