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

eat_v upon_o the_o ground_n after_o i_o have_v trod_v on_o it_o with_o my_o foot_n i_o then_o go_v into_o a_o bare-eaten-close_a and_o there_o lay_v down_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n and_o set_v my_o

till_o i_o have_v go_v xx_o or_o thirty_o yard_n and_o then_o stand_v close_o under_o a_o hedge_n or_o a_o wall_n so_o as_o the_o horse_n may_v not_o see_v i_o than_o i_o cause_v one_o to_o bring_v

where_o i_o stand_v where_o present_o i_o give_v he_o as_o many_o oat_n as_o he_o will_v eat_v and_o then_o put_v on_o his_o mussel_n for_o you_o must_v understande_v that_o bread_n be_v only_o good_a to_o make_v the_o train_n with_o but_o ro_o feed_v the_o horse_n continual_o with_o it_o the_o savour_n be_v so_o strong_a that_o it_o will_v somewhat_o hinder_v his_o scent_n whereas_o oat_n have_v no_o such_o rankness_n work_v no_o such_o imperfection_n in_o this_o sort_n i_o continue_v he_o twice_o a_o day_n for_o a_o week_n together_o every_o time_n make_v my_o train_n a_o several_a way_n till_o the_o horse_n grow_v so_o cunning_a that_o assoon_o as_o he_o have_v taste_v the_o first_o piece_n he_o will_v even_o trot_v from_o piece_n to_o piece_n and_o make_v no_o stay_n till_o he_o come_v where_o i_o stand_v after_o this_o i_o lay_v my_o first_o piece_n of_o bread_n more_o than_o a_o yard_n asunder_o &_o towards_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o train_n i_o lay_v they_o a_o dozen_o yard_n asunder_o so_o that_o then_o he_o begin_v to_o trust_v more_o to_o his_o nose_n than_o he_o do_v before_o and_o thus_o i_o use_v he_o for_o more_o than_o another_o week_n till_o he_o come_v to_o that_o perfection_n that_o he_o will_v make_v he_o run_v which_o lead_v he_o in_o all_o which_o time_n i_o ever_o observe_v that_o if_o he_o either_o grow_v negligent_a or_o careless_a of_o his_o business_n or_o fall_v to_o gnaw_v upon_o the_o earth_n present_o he_o which_o lead_v he_o after_o some_o rate_v and_o beat_v he_o put_v on_o his_o mussel_n and_o he_o stand_v at_o least_o a_o dozen_o hour_n after_o without_o food_n but_o this_o neither_o do_v nor_o will_v happen_v but_o very_o seldom_o especial_o if_o you_o keep_v he_o in_o right_a temper_n which_o be_v that_o he_o may_v be_v extreme_a hungry_a but_o not_o faint_a or_o sick_a with_o hunger_n and_o also_o i_o do_v never_o fail_v but_o when_o he_o have_v find_v i_o out_o i_o give_v he_o water_n as_o well_o as_o

into_o the_o true_a path_n again_o and_o thus_o i_o practise_v the_o horse_n and_o increase_v his_o knowledge_n by_o such_o lesurable_a degree_n that_o before_o a_o month_n be_v past_a i_o have_v not_o lay_v above_o two_o piece_n of_o bread_n in_o more_o than_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o mile_n and_o have_v with_o my_o best_a diligence_n endeavour_v to_o deceive_v both_o the_o horse_n and_o he_o which_o lead_v he_o but_o i_o find_v that_o with_o no_o fair_a play_n i_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o but_o go_v whither_o i_o will_v in_o any_o orderly_a fashion_n and_o the_o horse_n will_v find_v
