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

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

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

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
