A22422 The art of riding set foorth in a breefe treatise, with a due interpretation of certeine places alledged out of Xenophon, and Gryson, verie expert and excellent horssemen: wherein also the true vse of the hand by the said Grysons rules and precepts is speciallie touched: and how the author of this present worke hath put the same in practise, also what profit men maie reape thereby: without the knowledge whereof, all the residue of the order of riding is but vaine. Lastlie, is added a short discourse of the chaine or cauezzan, the trench, and the martingale: written by a gentleman of great skill and long experience in the said art.

he_o intitule_v it_o for_o the_o place_n of_o the_o hand_n and_o the_o reins_n agree_v full_o with_o gryson_n but_o be_v somewhat_o more_o liberal_a in_o declare_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o fist_n when_o one_o shall_v turn_v he_o of_o any_o side_n for_o say_v he_o if_o you_o will_v turn_v he_o on_o the_o right_a hand_n then_o bow_v your_o fist_n so_o as_o your_o thumb_n may_v turn_v down_o towards_o the_o mane_n of_o the_o horse_n as_o thereby_o you_o may_v see_v the_o full_a back_n of_o your_o hand_n with_o your_o little_a finger_n uppermost_a and_o when_o you_o will_v turn_v he_o on_o the_o left_a hand_n than_o contrariwise_o turn_v your_o fist_n so_o as_o the_o thumb_n may_v go_v back_o from_o you_o towards_o the_o head_n of_o the_o horse_n and_o that_o you_o may_v see_v all_o your_o finger_n in_o the_o inside_n of_o your_o fist_n so_o that_o your_o little_a finger_n and_o ring_v finger_n may_v appear_v more_o full_o unto_o you_o than_o your_o thumb_n but_o yet_o no_o more_o nor_o less_o than_o need_n shall_v require_v but_o so_o as_o your_o hand_n remove_v very_o little_a from_o the_o appoint_a place_n either_o of_o the_o one_o side_n of_o the_o neck_n or_o the_o other_o and_o that_o according_a to_o every_o man_n skill_n that_o use_v it_o but_o i_o know_v well_o say_v he_o that_o very_o few_o have_v the_o true_a use_n of_o it_o and_o here_o doubt_v as_o it_o seem_v whether_o his_o meaning_n shall_v be_v understand_v in_o this_o point_n add_v few_o m._n claudio_n corte_n doubt_v that_o his_o meaning_n will_v be_v understand_v but_o of_o a_o few_o and_o peradventure_o there_o be_v few_o that_o understand_v i_o say_v he_o though_o i_o have_v set_v it_o down_o very_o plain_a and_o so_o sure_o to_o doubt_v he_o have_v great_a reason_n for_o true_o i_o fear_v that_o to_o the_o most_o part_n this_o which_o have_v hitherto_o be_v say_v of_o either_o of_o they_o will_v seem_v but_o a_o riddle_n and_o therefore_o have_v need_n of_o further_a explanation_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o these_o excellent_a person_n understand_v some_o ground_a reason_n of_o this_o precept_n if_o it_o have_v please_v they_o as_o well_o to_o have_v set_v down_o the_o reason_n as_o the_o rule_n for_o that_o be_v know_v the_o rule_n will_v easy_o be_v understand_v let_v we_o endeavour_n ourselves_o therefore_o to_o seek_v it_o out_o etc._n the_o author_n opinion_n gather_v out_o of_o the_o very_a form_n of_o gryson_n and_o claudios_fw-la rule_n touch_v the_o turn_n of_o the_o fist_n etc._n etc._n what_o my_o opinion_n be_v thereof_o and_o upon_o the_o which_o i_o rest_v until_o i_o have_v other_o to_o persuade_v i_o otherwise_o be_v this_o which_o i_o gather_v out_o of_o the_o very_a form_n of_o the_o say_a rule_n and_o that_o be_v of_o the_o place_n of_o the_o hand_n and_o reins_n and_o of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o fist_n as_o you_o have_v read_v before_o as_o the_o hand_n not_o to_o remove_v from_o the_o crest_n of_o the_o horse_n the_o little_a finger_n and_o the_o ring_n finger_n if_o your_o will_n be_v place_v between_o the_o reins_n etc._n etc._n gryson_n bid_v we_o turn_v our_o fist_n after_o a_o certain_a manner_n but_o show_v not_o how_o claudio_n go_v further_a and_o show_v how_o one_o shall_v turn_v his_o fist_n but_o no_o cause_n why_o he_o shall_v so_o turn_v it_o and_o therefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n to_o make_v it_o plain_a this_o i_o add_v unto_o it_o and_o will_v have_v all_o man_n note_v that_o when_o i_o find_v the_o finger_n thus_o place_v between_o the_o reins_n and_o find_v also_o that_o the_o left_a rein_fw-mi lie_v close_o and_o remain_v in_o the_o inside_n of_o the_o finger_n and_o the_o right_a rein_fw-mi upon_o the_o outside_n of_o those_o finger_n this_o be_v well_o note_v you_o shall_v straight_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o or_o to_o what_o end_n that_o motion_n of_o the_o fist_n that_o claudio_n do_v show_v tend_v unto_o for_o say_v he_o when_o you_o will_v turn_v the_o horse_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n turn_v your_o fist_n so_o as_o your_o thumb_n may_v go_v downward_o to_o the_o horse_n mane_n that_o your_o little_a finger_n may_v rise_v up_o on_o the_o outside_n of_o the_o which_o the_o right_a rein_fw-mi lie_v and_o by_o the_o reason_n of_o that_o motion_n be_v raise_v up_o and_o the_o left_a fall_v left_a by_o what_o accustom_a sign_n the_o horse_n know_v when_o his_o rider_n will_v have_v he_o turn_v on_o the_o right_a side_n and_o when_o on_o the_o left_a and_o therewith_o the_o horse_n feel_v the_o right_a rein_fw-mi straight_v and_o the_o leave_v slack_v which_o he_o know_v by_o custom_n to_o be_v the_o sign_n to_o have_v he_o turn_v on_o the_o right_a side_n and_o so_o likewise_o when_o you_o will_v have_v he_o turn_v on_o the_o left_a hand_n he_o turn_v his_o fist_n so_o that_o his_o thumb_n go_v back_o towards_o the_o neck_n of_o the_o horse_n as_o he_o may_v see_v all_o his_o finger_n in_o the_o inside_n of_o his_o hand_n by_o the_o which_o motion_n he_o raise_v the_o left_a rein_fw-mi which_o be_v in_o the_o inside_n of_o his_o hand_n and_o the_o right_a also_o fall_v with_o the_o which_o the_o horse_n feel_v himself_o never_o so_o little_a strain_v on_o the_o left_a side_n know_v by_o that_o sign_n that_o he_o shall_v turn_v on_o the_o left_a side_n now_o whether_o that_o this_o be_v the_o form_n and_o manner_n of_o turn_v of_o the_o hand_n that_o gryson_n mean_v i_o know_v not_o but_o in_o effect_n certeinelie_o they_o mean_v all_o one_o as_o i_o gather_v by_o gryson_n in_o the_o 69._o page_n where_o he_o teach_v how_o one_o shall_v correct_v a_o horse_n with_o the_o bit_n that_o hold_v his_o neck_n awry_o begin_v thus_o oude_fw-mi similment_fw-it etc._n etc._n if_o say_v gryson_n he_o hold_v it_o awry_o on_o the_o left_a side_n hold_v your_o bridle_n in_o the_o wont_a place_n that_o be_v right_a over_o the_o crest_n and_o take_v the_o right_a rein_fw-mi up_o with_o the_o forefinger_n of_o the_o bridle_n hand_n the_o which_o rein_v you_o shall_v hold_v between_o the_o say_a finger_n and_o your_o thumb_n and_o if_o you_o see_v cause_n you_o may_v join_v your_o middle_a finger_n therewith_o also_o but_o if_o it_o be_v too_o plieng_v on_o the_o right_a side_n and_o stiff_a on_o the_o left_a then_o hold_v not_o only_o the_o little_a finger_n in_o his_o due_a place_n between_o both_o the_o reins_n but_o also_o the_o ring_n finger_n and_o middlemost_a too_o so_o as_o on_o what_o side_n soever_o his_o fault_n be_v by_o this_o mean_v you_o shall_v force_v he_o by_o little_a and_o little_a to_o yield_v unto_o that_o part_n of_o the_o neck_n that_o be_v stiff_a what_o he_o mean_v by_o use_v the_o reins_n in_o this_o manner_n for_o the_o correction_n of_o this_o fault_n every_o child_n may_v conceive_v the_o reason_n and_o hereupon_o i_o gather_v turn_v how_o to_o signify_v on_o which_o side_n the_o rider_n will_v have_v his_o horse_n to_o turn_v that_o in_o what_o manner_n so_o ever_o he_o move_v his_o hand_n to_o signify_v on_o which_o side_n he_o will_v have_v the_o horse_n to_o turn_v it_o be_v by_o staieng_v the_o rein_n on_o that_o side_n and_o slack_v it_o on_o the_o other_o as_o i_o have_v show_v before_o and_o therefore_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o use_v in_o practise_v thereof_o to_o take_v part_n with_o they_o both_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o i_o find_v it_o most_o handsome_a for_o my_o hand_n as_o thus_o when_o i_o turn_v he_o on_o the_o left_a hand_n i_o use_v claudio_n his_o motion_n to_o bow_v my_o fist_n so_o as_o my_o thumb_n may_v go_v backward_o towards_o the_o horse_n head_n whereby_o i_o raise_v the_o left_a rein_fw-mi that_o lie_v in_o the_o inside_n of_o my_o little_a finger_n by_o raise_v that_o part_n of_o my_o hand_n wherein_o that_o rein_n lie_v and_o when_o i_o turn_v he_o on_o the_o right_a side_n than_o i_o take_v up_o the_o right_a rein_fw-mi with_o my_o forefinger_n as_o gryson_n teach_v in_o the_o place_n before_o recite_v though_o it_o perteine_v not_o proper_o to_o this_o and_o leave_v the_o turn_n of_o my_o fist_n as_o claudio_n teach_v with_o my_o thumb_n down_o and_o my_o little_a finger_n uppermost_a on_o the_o outside_n whereof_o the_o right_a rein_fw-mi lie_v which_o i_o find_v oftentimes_o to_o slip_v from_o the_o place_n but_o so_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o other_o way_n if_o i_o take_v it_o with_o my_o forefinger_n or_o middle_a finger_n it_o can_v and_o so_o unto_o i_o i_o find_v it_o more_o handsome_a but_o yet_o i_o leave_v both_o these_o or_o any_o other_o to_o every_o person_n to_o use_v as_o he_o find_v it_o most_o fit_a for_o he_o so_o that_o they_o swerve_v
