for_o bread_n you_o shall_v make_v it_o after_o this_o manner_n take_v of_o fine_a oatemell_n well_o dry_v four_o peck_n bread_n of_o clean_a dry_a bean_n two_o peck_v of_o the_o best_a wheat_n two_o

for_o the_o most_o part_n your_o fiery_a and_o free_a horse_n do_v than_o you_o shall_v but_o only_o light_o chip_n your_o bread_n and_o so_o give_v it_o he_o both_o crust_n and_o crumb_n together_o but_o if_o he_o be_v slow_a of_o digestion_n which_o be_v that_o he_o keep_v his_o meat_n long_o in_o his_o belly_n than_o you_o shall_v cleave_v your_o loaf_n in_o the_o midst_n and_o give_v unto_o your_o horse_n nothing_o but_o the_o crumb_n only_o for_o the_o crumb_n be_v quick_a of_o digestion_n and_o soon_o turn_v to_o blood_n crudity_n and_o excrement_n and_o the_o crust_n be_v slow_a of_o

as_o the_o next_o morning_n appear_v you_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o stable_n and_o the_o first_o thing_n you_o do_v shall_v be_v to_o make_v your_o keeper_n thrust_v the_o horse_n dung_n from_o his_o

same_o state_n and_o colour_n which_o former_o it_o do_v before_o he_o be_v hunt_v than_o you_o shall_v know_v that_o your_o first_o day_n hunt_v do_v take_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o your_o horse_n but_o that_o his_o body_n hold_v one_o certain_a state_n still_o which_o be_v a_o warn_n unto_o you_o that_o you_o may_v the_o next_o hunt_v day_n almost_o double_a your_o exercise_n but_o if_o you_o find_v that_o there_o be_v any_o little_a grease_n come_v from_o the_o horse_n or_o that_o his_o dung_n be_v but_o outward_o greasy_a which_o you_o shall_v know_v by_o the_o shine_a of_o his_o dung_n or_o by_o white_a spot_n like_o soap_n spot_n which_o you_o shall_v see_v within_o his_o dung_n or_o if_o his_o dung_n be_v of_o a_o dark_a colour_n or_o hard_a than_o it_o be_v they_o you_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o both_o your_o horse_n be_v extreme_a foul_a and_o that_o your_o labour_n be_v full_o sufficient_a so_o that_o the_o next_o day_n you_o hunt_v you_o shall_v increase_v his_o

before_o be_v oat_n then_o now_o you_o shall_v give_v he_o bread_n if_o it_o be_v bread_n then_o now_o oat_n for_o the_o often_o you_o alter_v the_o better_a will_v be_v his_o appetite_n yet_o you_o

of_o rest_n as_o you_o keep_v he_o the_o first_o fortnight_n the_o next_o day_n follow_v you_o shall_v hunt_v he_o again_o as_o you_o do_v the_o first_o day_n only_o a_o little_a increase_v his_o
