live_a creature_n do_v in_o those_o 3._o month_n only_o beget_v &_o bring_v forth_o which_o be_v most_o untrue_a to_o grant-the_a word_n all_o can_v have_v a_o absolute_a reference_n to_o the_o

wherefore_o in_o these_o three_o month_n these_o action_n be_v most_o usual_a be_v for_o that_o the_o sun_n have_v long_o absent_v himself_o so_o as_o the_o cold_a and_o stormy_a winter_n weather_n

proceed_v to_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o practice_n of_o these_o month_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o common_a practice_n of_o all_o nation_n be_v for_o that_o a_o mare_n go_v with_o foal_n twelve_o month_n and_o ten_o day_n or_o there_o about_o and_o therefore_o the_o most_o breeder_n will_v not_o have_v the_o mare_n go_v to_o horse_n before_o those_o month_n of_o march_n april_n or_o may_v because_o her_o foal_v time_n shall_v be_v near_o the_o spring_n of_o grass_n the_o which_o opinion_n and_o practice_n i_o think_v fit_a likewise_o
to_o examine_v there_o be_v not_o any_o man_n of_o experience_n the_o can_n true_o deny_v but_o if_o the_o mare_n be_v lusty_a and_o in_o perfection_n of_o health_n when_o she_o foal_v at_o what_o time_n of_o the_o year_n soever_o it_o be_v but_o that_o she_o have_v more_o milk_n for_o three_o week_n or_o a_o month_n than_o the_o foal_n be_v able_a to_o suck_v and_o to_o continue_v plentiful_a in_o milk_n let_v she_o present_o after_o foal_v be_v milk_v so_o clean_o as_o may_v be_v and_o so_o continue_v until_o the_o curd_n in_o her_o udder_n be_v break_v and_o dissolve_v which_o will_v

if_o she_o foal_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o winter_n yet_o will_v she_o have_v plenty_n of_o milk_n be_v house_v she_o will_v have_v a_o more_o lusty_a strong_a healthful_a and_o courageous_a colt_n of_o great_a stature_n and_o great_a strength_n and_o better_a able_a to_o endure_v hardness_n and_o keep_v his_o flesh_n better_o than_o if_o she_o foal_v at_o may_n day_n my_o reason_n be_v although_o the_o grass_n make_v great_a quantity_n of_o milk_n yet_o the_o same_o be_v very_o thin_a and_o the_o winter_n food_n less_o in_o quantity_n but_o very_o thick_a and_o of_o great_a
