quart_n at_o a_o meal_n see_v there_o be_v many_o horse_n that_o will_v eat_v a_o much_o large_a proportion_n and_o to_o scant_v they_o to_o this_o little_a be_v to_o starve_v o●_n at_o the_o best_a to_o breed_v weakness_n but_o if_o i_o be_v understand_v right_o i_o set_v not_o this_o down_o as_o a_o infallible_a rule_n but_o a_o precedent_n that_o may_v be_v imitate_v yet_o alter_v at_o pleasure_n for_o i_o have_v leave_v you_o this_o caveat_n that_o if_o your_o horse_n eat_v this_o with_o a_o good_a stomach_n you_o may_v give_v he_o another_o leave_v the_o proportion_n to_o the_o feeder_n discretion_n because_o it_o be_v impossible_a in_o writing_n to_o make_v one_o measure_n for_o all_o stomach_n and_o for_o min●_z own_o part_n i_o choose_v the_o quart_n as_o the_o most_o indifferent_a proportion_n for_o albeit_o many_o horse_n will_v eat_v more_o yet_o i_o have_v know_v some_o that_o will_v hardly_o eat_v this_o and_o believe_v it_o what_o horse_n soever_o shall_v but_o eat_v this_o and_o in_o this_o manner_n he_o shall_v neither_o starve_v lose_v strength_n nor_o be_v much_o hungry_a so_o now_o again_o to_o the_o give_n of_o heat_n four_o consideration_n in_o give_v of_o heat_n now_o touch_v heat_n you_o be_v to_o take_v to_o yourself_o these_o four_o consideration_n 1._o that_o two_o heat_n in_o the_o week_n be_v a_o sufficient_a proportion_n for_o any_o horse_n of_o what_o condition_n or_o state_n of_o body_n soever_o 2._o that_o one_o heat_n shall_v ever_o be_v give_v on_o that_o day_n in_o the_o week_n on_o which_o he_o be_v to_o run_v his_o match_n as_o thus_o your_o match-day_n be_v a_o monday_n your_o heating-day_n be_v then_o monday_n and_o friday_n and_o the_o monday_n to_o be_v ever_o the_o sharp_a heat_n both_o because_o it_o be_v the_o day_n of_o his_o match_n and_o there_o be_v three_o day_n rest_n betwixt_o it_o and_o the_o other_o heat_n if_o the_o day_n ●e_z tuesday_n than_o the_o heat_a day_n be_v tuesday_n and_o saturday_n if_o wednesday_n than_o wednesday_n and_o saturday_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n if_o on_o thursday_n than_o thursday_n and_o monday_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n 2._o you_o shall_v give_v no_o heat_n except_o in_o case_n of_o extremity_n in_o rain_n or_o foul_a weather_n but_o rather_o to_o defer_v hour_n and_o change_v time_n for_o it_o be_v unwholesome_a and_o dangerous_a and_o therefore_o in_o case_n of_o shower_n and_o incertain_a weather_n you_o shall_v have_v for_o the_o horse_n a_o line_a hood_n with_o line_a ear_n and_o the_o nape_n of_o the_o nec●_z line_v to_o keep_v out_o rain_n for_o nothing_o ●_z more_o dangerous_a than_o cold_a wet_a fall_n into_o the_o ear_n and_o upon_o the_o nape_n of_o the_o neck_n and_o fillet_n 4_o last_o observe_v to_o give_v the_o heat_n the_o weather_n be_v seasonable_a as_o early_o in_o the_o morning_n as_o you_o can_v that_o be_v by_o the_o spring_n of_o day_n but_o by_o no_o mean_n in_o the_o dark_a for_o ●_z be_v to_o the_o horse_n both_o unwholesome_a and_o unpleasant_a to_o the_o man_n a_o great_a testimony_n o●_z folly_n and_o to_o both_o a_o act_n of_o danger_n and_o precipitation_n the_o second_o fortnight_n feed_n now_o to_o come_v to_o the_o second_o fortnight_n feed_v touch_v your_o first_o approach_v to_o the_o stable_a and_o all_o other_o by_o respect_n a●_z cleanse_v and_o the_o like_a you_o shall_v do_v all_o thing_n as_o in_o the_o first_o fortnight_n only_o before_o yo●_n put_v on_o his_o bridle_n give_v he_o a_o quart_n of_o oat_n which_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v eat_v bridle_v he_o up_o and_o dress_v he_o as_o before_o show_v then_o cloth_n saddle_n air_n water_n exercise_n and_o bring_v he_o home_o as_o before_o show_v only_o you_o shall_v not_o put_v hay_n into_o his_o rack_n to_o tear_v out_o but_o let_v he_o eat_v it_o out_o of_o your_o hand_n handful_n after_o handful_n and_o so_o leave_v he_o on_o his_o bridle_n for_o a_o hour_n more_o then_o come_v to_o he_o and_o after_o rub_v and_o other_o ceremony_n sist_z he_o a_o quart_n of_o oat_n and_o set_v they_o by_o then_o take_v a_o loaf_n of_o bread_n that_o be_v three_o day_n old_a or_o thereabouts_o and_o make_v in_o this_o manner_n the_o first_o bread_n take_v three_o peck_v of_o clean_a bean_n and_o one_o peck_n of_o wheat_n mix_v they_o together_o and_o grind_v they_o then_o boult_v it_o through_o a_o reasonable_a fine_a range_v and_o knead_v it_o up_o with_o great_a ●●ore_n of_o barm_n and_o lightning_n but_o with_o as_o little_a water_n as_o may_v be_v labour_v it_o in_o the_o trough_n painful_o knead_v it_o break_v it_o and_o after_o cover_v it_o warm_a and_o let_v it_o lie_v and_o swell_v then_o knead_v it_o over_o again_o and_o mould_v it_o up_o into_o big_a loaf_n like_o twelvepeny_n household_n loaf_n and_o so_o bake_v it_o well_o and_o let_v it_o soak_v sound_o after_o they_o be_v draw_v turn_v the_o bottom_n upward_o and_o let_v they_o cool_v at_o three_o day_n old_a or_o thereabouts_o you_o may_v give_v this_o bread_n but_o hardly_o soon_o for_o nothing_o be_v worse_a than_o new_a bread_n yet_o if_o necessity_n compel_v you_o that_o you_o must_v soon_o give_v it_o or_o that_o the_o bread_n be_v clammy_a or_o dank_a so_o as_o the_o horse_n take_v distaste_n thereat_o then_o cut_v the_o loaf_n into_o thin_a shiver_o and_o lay_v it_o abroad_o in_o the_o sieve_n to_o dry_v then_o crumble_a it_o small_a with_o his_o oat_n you_o may_v give_v it_o safe_o but_o to_o return_v to_o my_o purpose_n when_o you_o have_v take_v a_o loaf_n of_o this_o bread_n chip_n it_o very_o well_o then_o cut_v it_o into_o thin_a slyve_n and_o put_v three_o or_o four_o thereof_o small_a break_a into_o his_o oat_n you_o have_v before_o sift_v and_o so_o give_v they_o to_o he_o about_o eleven_o a_o clock_n come_v to_o he_o and_o by_o ceremony_n give_v he_o the_o same_o quantity_n of_o bread_n and_o oat_n and_o so_o leave_v he_o till_o afternoon_n at_o one_o a_o clock_n in_o the_o afternoon_n if_o you_o intend_v not_o to_o give_v he_o a_o heat_n the_o next_o day_n feed_v he_o with_o bread_n and_o oat_n as_o you_o do_v in_o the_o forenoon_n and_o so_o consequent_o every_o meal_n follow_v for_o that_o day_n observe_v every_o action_n and_o motion_n as_o before_o show_v but_o if_o you_o intend_v the_o next_o day_n to_o give_v he_o a_o heat_n to_o which_o i_o now_o bend_v my_o aim_n you_o shall_v then_o only_o give_v he_o a_o quart_n of_o oat_n clear_v sift_v but_o no_o hay_n and_o so_o let_v he_o rest_v till_o evening_n at_o four_o a_o clock_n before_o you_o put_v on_o his_o bridle_n give_v he_o a_o quart_n of_o clean_o sift_v oat_n and_o when_o they_o be_v eat_v bridle_v he_o up_o dress_v cloth_n saddle_n air_n water_n exercise_n bring_v home_o and_o order_n as_o before_o show_v only_o give_v no_o hay_n at_o all_o after_o he_o have_v stand_v a_o hour_n on_o his_o bridle_n give_v he_o a_o quart_n of_o oat_n and_o when_o they_o be_v caten_v put_v on_o his_o head_n a_o sweet_a muzzle_n and_o so_o let_v he_o rest_v till_o nine_o a_o clock_n at_o night_n now_o as_o touch_v the_o use_n of_o this_o muzzle_n and_o which_o be_v the_o best_a you_o shall_v understand_v that_o as_o they_o be_v most_o useful_a be_v good_a and_o right_o make_v so_o they_o be_v dangerous_a and_o hurtful_a be_v abuse_v and_o false_o make_v the_o true_a use_n of_o they_o be_v to_o keep_v the_o horse_n from_o eat_v up_o his_o litter_n from_o gnaw_v upon_o board_n and_o mud-wall_n and_o indeed_o to_o keep_v he_o from_o eat_v any_o thing_n but_o what_o he_o receive_v from_o your_o own_o hand_n these_o muzzle_n be_v sometime_o make_v of_o leather_n and_o stamp_v full_a of_o hole_n or_o else_o close_a but_o they_o be_v unsavoury_a and_o unwholesome_a for_o if_o it_o be_v allome_v leather_n the_o alum_n be_v offensive_a if_o it_o be_v tan_v or_o liquor_v leather_n the_o tanner_n ouze_n and_o grease_n be_v full_o as_o unpleasant_a beside_o they_o be_v too_o close_o and_o too_o hot_a and_o both_o make_v a_o horse_n sick_a and_o cause_v he_o to_o retain_v his_o dung_n long_o in_o his_o body_n than_o otherwise_o he_o will_v do_v the_o best_a summer_n muzzle_n and_o indeed_o the_o best_a general_o at_o all_o time_n be_v the_o nermuzzell_n make_v of_o strong_a packthread_n and_o knit_v exceed_o thick_a and_o close_o in_o the_o bottom_n and_o so_o enlarge_v wide_a and_o wide_a upward_o to_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o horse_n head_n then_o bind_v about_o the_o top_n with_o tape_n and_o on_o the_o nearside_n a_o loop_n and_o on_o the_o
