you_o be_v to_o visit_v your_o horse_n early_o in_o the_o morning_n to_o wit_n by_o five_o a_o clock_n if_o in_o summer_n or_o six_o if_o in_o winter_n and_o have_v put_v up_o his_o litter_n under_o his_o stall_n and_o make_v clean_o your_o stable_a you_o shall_v then_o feel_v his_o rib_n his_o chaule_n and_o his_o flank_n for_o those_o be_v the_o chief_n sign_n by_o which_o you_o must_v learn_v to_o judge_v of_o the_o good_a or_o evil_a state_n of_o your_o horse_n body_n as_o i_o shall_v now_o show_v you_o lay_v your_o hand_n on_o the_o low_a part_n of_o his_o short-rib_n near_o the_o flank_n and_o if_o you_o feel_v his_o fat_a to_o be_v exceed_o soft_a and_o tender_a and_o to_o yield_v as_o it_o be_v under_o your_o hand_n than_o you_o may_v be_v confident_a it_o be_v unsound_a and_o that_o the_o least_o violent_a labour_n or_o travail_n will_v dissolve_v it_o which_o be_v dissolve_v ere_o it_o be_v harden_v by_o good_a diet_n if_o it_o be_v not_o then_o remove_v by_o scour_v the_o fat_a or_o grease_a belong_v to_o the_o outward_a part_n of_o the_o body_n will_v fall_v down_o into_o his_o heel_n and_o so_o cause_n gowtiness_n and_o swell_a i_o need_v not_o trouble_v you_o with_o the_o outward_a sign_n of_o this_o distemper_n they_o be_v evident_a to_o the_o eye_n but_o though_o every_o groom_n can_v inform_v you_o when_o a_o horse_n be_v say_v to_o have_v the_o grease_n fall_v into_o his_o heel_n yet_o may_v be_v he_o can_v instruct_v you_o in_o the_o cause_n why_o travail_n disperse_v it_o for_o a_o time_n and_o when_o the_o horse_n be_v cold_a it_o return_v with_o more_o violence_n than_o before_o the_o reason_n therefore_o be_v this_o the_o grease_n which_o by_o indiscreet_a exercise_n and_o negligence_n in_o keep_v be_v melt_v and_o fall_v into_o his_o leg_n stand_v still_o in_o the_o stable_a cool_v and_o congeal_v and_o so_o unite_v itself_o with_o other_o ill_a humour_n which_o flow_v to_o the_o affect_a part_n so_o that_o they_o stop_v the_o natural_a circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o cause_n inflammation_n and_o swell_n as_o aforesaid_a but_o travail_n produce_v warmth_n in_o his_o limb_n thaw_v as_o it_o be_v the_o congeal_a humour_n and_o disperse_v they_o throughout_o the_o body_n in_o general_a till_o rest_n give_v they_o opportunity_n to_o unite_v and_o settle_v again_o now_o though_o most_o groom_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o this_o distemper_n be_v not_o to_o be_v prevent_v by_o care_n or_o caution_n that_o when_o it_o have_v once_o seize_v a_o horse_n it_o remain_v incurable_a yet_o they_o be_v mistake_v in_o both_o for_o by_o art_n it_o may_v be_v prevent_v and_o by_o art_n cure_v although_o the_o cure_n be_v so_o difficult_a to_o be_v wrought_v that_o a_o groom_n can_v be_v too_o careful_a to_o prevent_v it_o as_o for_o the_o ●nward_a grease_n which_o be_v in_o his_o stomach_n bag_n and_o gut_n if_o when_o once_o melt_v it_o be_v not_o remove_v by_o art_n medicine_n and_o good_a keep_v
