A63788	The country-man's companion, or, A new method of ordering horses & sheep so as to preserve them both from diseases and causalties [sic], or, to recover them if fallen ill and also to render them much more serviceable and useful to their owners, than has yet been discovered, known or practised : and particularly to preserve sheep from that monsterous, mortifying distemper, the rot / by Philotheos Physiologus, the author of The way to health, long life and happiness, &c.

how_o many_o man_n we_o have_v kill_v in_o a_o day_n and_o though_o many_o of_o you_o do_v not_o use_v nor_o perhaps_o intend_v these_o martial_a instrument_n for_o manslaughter_n but_o only_o to_o

therefore_o though_o you_o will_v not_o fight_v with_o and_o kill_v those_o of_o your_o own_o species_n yet_o i_o must_v be_v bold_a to_o tell_v you_o that_o these_o lesser_a violence_n as_o you_o may_v call_v they_o do_v proceed_v from_o the_o same_o root_n of_o wrath_n and_o bitterness_n as_o the_o great_a do_v there_o be_v but_o one_o grand_a fountain_n from_o whence_o all_o kind_n of_o
