A04062	An hipponomie or the vineyard of horsemanship deuided into three bookes. 1. The theorick part, intreating of the inward knowledge of the man.2. The first practicke part, shewing how to worke according to that knowledge. 3. The second practicke part, declaring how to apply both hunting and running horses to the true grounds of this art. In which is plainly laid open the art of breeding, riding, training and dieting of the said horses. Wherein also many errors in this art, heretofore published, are manifestly detected.

to see how these good creatures are tormented which grosse cures bring a disgracefull blemish either by knotting want of hayre where it was burned or want of flesh to fill vp that empty place where it was cut away But is it no maruayle though they commit such grosse errors sith they haue no other iudgement then custome the nurse of ignorance hath indued them withall being led by imitation Custome is a deceiptfull teacher of their teachers not hauing any true naturall knowledge in the Horses disposition neither in the quality of the disease nor the cause thereof no nor the naturall operation of those simples they infuse to make either drinke or salue or oyntment more The cause of these errors then they read giuing credit to that without examining of it by due consideration or though they read yet doe not vnderstand but presumes to practise not knowing how to giue a proportion according to the operatiue quallity of the medicine or nature of the horse and thereby if they fayle they cloake their ignorance Theo. 3. with that he was so farre spent that he was vncurable before he came to their hands But howsoeuer these may deafe th● eares by sounding the alarum of their owne conceipts of such as haue no iudgement in a true march yet for the great loue and affection that I A charitable wish carry to these so seruiceable and worthy creatures I wish that they were either musterd out of this land to minister their tiranny vpon their enimies or that they would blow the coales of their darke knowledge with the bellowes of affection to warme and light their iudgement that the thicke mist of ignorance might be exhausted and so see their owne error for then they would see that to be a good Farrier desireth more time To be a skilfull Farrier is hard paine and knowledge then is iudged for finding the causes the qualities and to incorporate the things proportionably which things are as needfull to be knowne for the right cure of a horse as for a man Wherefore seeing this knowledge is so intricate if I should detect and lay open the abuses in particular and to show the causes of all sickenesse and diseases both naturall and accidentall with their approued cures I should be caught in such a Labyrinth as no Ariadne's thread could winde me out For though I am not altogether ignorant in some naturall causes nor how to giue proportion of compounds yet in regard I haue Farriers should haue kn●wledge in the nature of simples not that knowledge in the true nature of simples as they should haue that are professors therein I will not insist much herevpon but summarily set down such receipts as I haue orally receiued from Maister Markeham and other approued good Farriers which in my own particular practise I haue found good and vncontrolable but aboue all I will here insert a little Tract written by that famous and renowned Italian Signior Dionigio Grilli Maister of the Stable to the most Illustrious Prince Alexander Cardinall Farnese which being neuer before this day Englished I thought good to inrich my country therewith especially so much as my selfe haue proued to be most good and perfit or that I haue collected out of Master Markehams works whom I haue followed as my master herein for as much as I haue approued them to deserue as great esteeme as any that I euer read or practised But here it may be objected that if I be so ignorant in the Obiection knowledge of the nature of simples I may be condemned of insolency with the former tancke in vndertaking to censure of other mens iudgements in that thing I haue no knowledge I answere that if I should compare my knowledge with Answer theirs I am not much inferior as concerning a generall knowledge for I know and can say that the fire is hot and dry and the water cold and moist and that such an herbe is hot or moyst in the first second or third degree c. yet for particular iudgement A generall knowledge is but flowing except it can apply particularly to show in what quantity they are so and how much they differ in what different quantity in each seuerall degree to make a compound agreeing to the nature of the Horse and so to apply particularly in these I say I haue small iudement for that which is spoken of in generall is not spoken to any in particular And therefore though I haue not so much iudgement as to make a true particular application yet I haue so much knowledge as to feele my owne ignorance and to see how farre I am from the knowledge thereof and so likewise the iudgement of many men by the operation and effect of their potions and salues But heerein conceiue me so as not curiously to desire such an exact and absolute iudgement in them as to apply so farre as they haue any naturall quality in healing for that is impossible it being onely proper to God and hid from man through depraued Knowledge for else hee might distill such a quintesence out of such hearbes and weeds as the earth nourisheth as would preserue life ad infinitum for God made all things vpon the earth for mans good and therefore no sore though neuer so mortall but there was a preseruatiue herbe and so would haue continued if Adam had not brought ignorance to his posterity and death as the wages of sinne By means of which ignorance neither Hipocrates nor Galen themselues could euer attaine to the absolute and true quality Hipocrates and Galen were subiect to error in euery degree and part of any one simple much lesse in all those they haue written of but yet hauing writ so learnedly and iudiciously as none in our age can confute them wee must comparatiuely reuerence and yeeld to them in as much as it hath pleased God to bestow on them such extraordinary vnderstanding therein as may giue some light to our darke iudgements and yet not to thinke them absolute because we cannot confute them in regard it hath pleased God to cast vs out of the Paradice of knowledge lest we should haue the benefit of them and liue for euer But to persist whereas most haue set forth so many seuerall Man is shut out of the Paradise of knowledge cures as there are diseases nay oftentimes three or foure receipts for one disease that may argue a weakenesse in iudgement in the cause or a doubtfulnesse of their effectuall operations in their qualities Therefore I will content my selfe onely with a few knowing that one receipt hath cured halfe a dozen diseases that are not so farre differing in quality as in their Diseases are not so much differing in quality as in name names and refer those that desire to haue varieties for practise vpon seuerall horses to Mr. Markhams Maister-Peece where is not onely carefully collected his owne experience but also the
