which you shall find upon the ground which many do report to be the falling of a Star in the night where it shooteth of each like much incorporate these well together and anoynt the sore twice every day therewith but if you cannot get of this Ielly then adde to the former ingredients a little Arsenick pulverised and in ten or twelve daies this will heale him X. This also is very good Another Take the tender tops of Elder buds and the berries of the bramble while they be red and before they be rip of each one handfull boil them in Wort two quarts and put unto it of Allome the quantity of an Egge and therewith wash and bathe the Sorance good and hot twice every day and this water will cure him X. This is also very good Another Take of Hemlocke a good quantity shread it very small then take of Creame one quart and boyle it with the Hemlock till the Creame do turne into an oyle which done take it from the fire and straine it into a cleane galley pot and keepe it for your use with this anoint the Sorance and it will soone heale it of this I never had tryall Another Take Brimstone and make it into fine powder and mix with it of sweet Butter so much as will suffice to bring it to an Vnguent which will be of the colour of Gold herewith anoint the sores and it will cure them This I never tryed Another Take unslaked Lime Salt and Soot of each like much all made into very fine powder boyle this in the strongest white Wine Vineger you can get so much as will suffice till it become as thicke as a Pultis then soften it with tryed Hogs-grease and so worke it to an Vnguent and herewith anoint the places greived till they be perfectly cured ✚ This is very good but to prevent all sorts of Scratches Kibes Rat-tayles c. take up the Thigh-veynes and your Horse shall never have any of these Maladies or if he have them yet by so doing they will of themselves be cured ✚ This I have oft experienced § 7. S. Hippoph HOw doe you cure a Sit-fast Hippos This Malady the French do call Mal de la Corn it is an hard knob which hath beene formerly a Saddle-gald but by reason that the Owner of the Horse was unwilling to spare his worke till it was fully cured it is converted into a Sit-fast Sit-fast which is oftimes troublesome to the Horse by reason it is growne to a dry knob so hard as a horne The cure is Take the greene outward leaves of a Cabbadge and stamp them with old Boares-grease or tryed Hogs-grease and worke them to an Oyntment and then mount his Back and then set the Saddle to the end that the Oyntment may the better enter or sinke into his Backe and in a few daies it will Cure him ✚ This is a very good cure §. 8. S. Hippoph THere be yet certaine Scabbes which doe grow upon Horse-heeles which Ferriers doe deny to be the Scratches but they will have it to bee a disease wholy different How doe you cure them Hippos Sir men may say what they shall please but I doe assure you these are also plaine Scratches But yet I will give a few Receipts for them Scabs and Scratches Take of Salet-oyle three ounces Red-wax-gummed one ounce common Hony two ounces mixe and melt all these together and make them into an Vuguent with which you must oft anoint the Sores and this will cure them ✚ I have often used it Another Take ordinary Turpentine two ounces new Wax oyle de Bay Quick-Brimstone of each three ounces common Hony one ounce Allome and Zacacon of each halfe an ounce mixe melt and incorporate all those well together and every evening anoint the places grieved therewith having first cleansed the Sorances as before is taught you This I did never try but I hold it to be very good Another Take the strongest white-Wine-Vineger Mustard and Soote of each so much as will suffice and mix them well them adde to them the yolkes of two Egges and of Hogs-grease one ounce Rape-oyle and new Wax of each two ounces quick-Brimstone in fine powder halfe an ounce melt all these and make it into an Vnguent and therewith anoint the grieved Sorances ✚ This I have often tryed and I know it to be very good § 9. S. Hippoph VVHat is good for a Horse that can neither Stale or Dunge Hippos This accident oftimes hapneth to a Horse that is suddenly travelled being newly taken from Grasse or that hath beene long time kept and pampered in the Stable without any execise at all for as those who be too hard Riders do soone surfet their Horses so likewise do these terribly wrong their Horses who be too indulgent and tender of them and therefore the golden meane is evermore the best The signes to know this Malady is plaine for that his paine will bee so great as that it will cause him oft to lye downe and tumble as if he had the Bots. I will give you one onely Receipt which a famous French Marishall gave me with which I cured one Horse for that I had never occasion to practise it upon any since but I do hold it to be most soveraigne in a case of this nature Take the root of Male-Brake or Fearne and put a piece thereof upon his tongue and it will cause him both to stale and dung Stale or dung and so he will be cured The male of Fearne is to be knowne by the root from the female for if you take a Fearne-root and cut it in two pieces you shall see the perfect figure of an Eagle and thereby you may know it to be the male which is for your turne And the female root will beare other effigies different from the male which wanteth its vertue to perfect this cure ✚ This I say I have once tryed § 10. S. Hippoph VVHat is to be done to a Horse that falleth sicke in his iourney or travell Sicke in travell Hippos This also hapneth as the former doth but yet oftner and sooner especially if he be very fat and pursive and wanting breath as also if he be travelled being fat and heavy the Sunne shining and scorching much for such a horse is in danger either to tire or to fall desperately sicke which may also endanger his life as I have frequently knowne The cure must be Take Muskadine or sweet Sacke one pinte Aqua vitae a quarter of a pinte of London Treacle two ounces and of the best Sallet oyle a quarter of a pinte warme all these upon the fire and brew it well and give him one hornfull thereof then take his tongue in your hand and put down his throat a new laid Egge breaking it with your fingers as you put it forth of your hand then give him a second horne full and then another Egge and after all the residue of the drinke and

organ of the body by which meanes they are preserved and enabled to perform their naturall and proper function And as touching the cods if the liver be not well stored nay full of pure and perfect bloud neither is the creature able to concoct and digest its meat nor can the cods be hot so as if there be in those parts a defect of heat the seed of the beast cannot be perfectly concocted by which meanes the Horse becommeth frigid and impotent and without any power at all of Procreation And this is as much as need be said of this subject wherein if I have any way erred or not delivered my self so cleerly whereby to be understood as I desire the blame must light upon the great desire I promised to brevity howsoever I have endeavoured what in me lyeth to dilate and explicate my self at full Now will I begin to shew to you what meanes we have to preserve horses from all inward diseases which consisteth of four wayes viz. by Purging Sweating Flebothomy or Bloud-letting and Vomit As touching the first which is Purging it is twofold to wit Cleansing and purging Of outward Purging outward and inward This outward purging is by cleansing the outward parts which must be done immediately at what time you take up your horse from grasse which would be about Saint Bartholomewes day for then the heart of grasse doth begin to decline and therfore after that day the grasse he then feedeth upon breedeth no good but bad and corrupt bloud and so consequently sundry sorts of maladies and infirmities in his body besides the ayre beginneth then to grow sharpe which is also very dangerous yea and most contagious for him and if you suffer him to runne after that time his haire will grow long and rough so as he will not have for that winter any slicke or glittering coat Of this outward cleansing or purging your horse you shall finde taught you in lib. 2. cap. 6. § 6. and the manner how and when it would be done viz in a warme day in the Sunne at what time every part and member of him would be soped washed dryed and cleansed from all manner of sweat scurfe dust dirt and filth yea and that all his whole body over especially his Maine Tayle and Cods who being thus cleansed and made dry again and his yard drawne cleansed and annointed with tryed hogs grease let his eares his Maine just so farre as the top of the head-stall will cover and no more and under the Chaule be handsomely trimmed then pull away by the roots all the smelling haires about and under his mouth and nose and the long stubborn hayres under and about his eyes which done cut away about a handfull of the lower part of his tayle even and decently then cause the Ferrier to shooe him up but let him be carefull to pare him neatly and to open the Heeles and Frush Then cloath him up warme and stopped with small wispes this done annoint all his hoofe with the oyntment having first washed them cleane and made them dry againe prescribed you in lib. 2. cap. 11. § 9. Then let his feet be picked cleane and stoppe him with Oxe-doung Cleansing and purging inwardly Now as touching his inward purging this ought to be done evermore before you put him to any labour or exercise and first let him be raked by causing some one who hath a small hand and arme to annoynt them first with a little sweet Butter or Oyle de Bay but some doe use Sope which I doe hold too sharp and so putting his hand into his fundament let him bring forth all his doung and while he is in so doing let him try to feele for Bots or wormes which may sticke fast unto the great Gut and the place where the doung lyeth which if he finde let him pluck them away gently and by degrees and so bring them all out this done give him the Clister mentioned in lib. 2. cap. 6. § 8. Clist c. 4. and so soone as the horse hath received it Clister-wise then presently clap his tayle close to his Tewell and so cause him to keep it so long as you can and this would be done three or foure dayes before the Full or Change of the Moone The next day after give him his first drink inserted lib. 2. cap. 16. § 14. Drinke 1. Drinke 2. purg 4. the next day following give him his second drink shewed you in liq 2. cap. 16. § 14. Purg. 5. and so follow such directions shewed you in those Rules The next day following you have thus given him his two drinks let him bloud Let bloud if you shall finde the bloud to be very bad take the more from him if reasonable good take the lesse but if very good then draw your cord and so do but give the veyne vent and no more then afterwards keep him with warm Mashes as is taught you else-where The next day after bloud letting sweat Sweat him like as is prescribed you in lib. 2. cap. 18. § 28. S. And if you doe discover any cold in him by any symptomes then give him the vomit Vomit prescribed you in lib. 2. cap. 20. § 1. V. And to prevent any Obstructions in the liver or lungs or his heart any way oppressed or otherwise to preserve the blood pure and from corrupting all which inconveniencies may be a ready meanes to bring your horse to his end give him in his Provender Powder● be put i● his pro●der such powders and other Simples which you shall find in sundry places of this Treatise for this will refine his blood and preserve his liver from infection and keep him in perfect health Thus far Sir I have declared unto you what I understand of the Cause of Sicknesse in generall It remaineth now for me to inculcate what are the causes of health and long life which to be briefe are twelve in number viz The first is Nature good digestion 12. Can● of healt● long life and good Nutriment the second is moderation in feeding and dyet the third is moderate labour the fourth is moderate use of sleeping and waking the fifth is moderate spending upon Mares the sixth is moderate journeyes the seventh is wholesome ayre the eight is not to be exercised too soone after grasse the ninth is to be kept from raw and greene meats the tenth is not to be suffered to eate or drinke being hot the eleventh is not to be either washed or walked at the end of his dayes journeyes the twelfth is to give him with his Provender such powders and simples as are prescribed you in all those Chapters which are by me mentioned Hippiat You have spoken well Hipposerus but I would have you shew me how long life is acquired by these causes which as yet you have not done for you have but onely delivered them in generall heads and termes Wherfore I would gladly know what you can say of

sometimes it comes again by the means of a stroke or blow given by some cudgell by his Keeper or Rider betwixt his eares whereby it festereth inwardly and inflaming breedeth an impostumation so as if it be not in time taken it will grow to a very foule Fistula not easie to be cured for the poll of the horse is so tender a member as to be soon offended and therefore easily damnified I need not to deliver you the signes for the swelling will be so apparant as that it cannot be mistaken albeit it will putrifie much more inwardly then outwardly and therefore you ought to apply your diligence to open it before it do breake of it selfe The cure is First to lay unto the place swollen such things as will ripen it Poll-evill and to prepare it ready to be opened and as touching the ripening thereof Take the loame of a mud wall which had never any Lime in it but much Straw or Litter and the elder this Loame or mud wall is the better boyle so much as you shall please thereof in the strongest white Wine Vineger and let it boyle till it come to be a very Poultesse then being very hot lay it to the swelling renewing it morning and evening till it be ripe enough to be opened then open it with a red hot iron made sharpe at the end and let the iron be the bignesse of a naile rod but you must begin below thrusting your instruments upwards cleane through that it may come forth in the softest place and when it is thus opened so as the corruption may issue forth at ease anoynt the orifices with tryed Hogs grease two or three dayes together to get out the fire but howsoever faile not to dresse it twice every day with the said Poultesse taynts being dipped in the Poultesse and put down to the bottome as well to carnifie and heale the Fistula at the bottome as to keep open the orifices and this Poultesse will cure him ✚ But withall you must remember to make him a hood or nightcap to keep warm the nape of his neck and to keep in the taints also this also cureth the Botch in the groine hurts in the withers navell-galles galled-back or Sit-fasts c. Another First ripen it as before or else with tryed Hogs grease scalding hot making him a Biggin wherewith to keep his poll very warme and renew this Emplaister every day and it will ripen it the sooner then when you finde it to be softest and most likely to breake open it with a hot iron two inches beneath the soft place carrying your hand upward into the soft and most matterative place to draw forth the corruption downwards then taint it with Flaxe or Hurds dipped into molten Hogs grease and lay also a plaister of Hogs grease upon it renewing it for four or five dayes once every day to get forth the fire after this take of Turpentine of Venice halfe a pound thrice washed and dryed from the water the yolks of two Egges and of Saffaron one penny worth in powder incorporate all these together very well then with a probat search the depth of the sorance and taint it with a spunge full as bigge as the hole of the wound and as long and convey the taint down to the very bottome well anoynted with the said medicine but this must be done with the help of your instrument and then cover it with a plaister of Hogs grease renewing it twice a day but when the swelling is alaid then use no plaister and in short time it will be perfectly whole and sound X This is a very good cure Another First ripen and open it as before is taught you and apply Hogs grease to fetch forth the fire then heale it thus Take Roman Vitreall Allum and Rose water of each two ounces boyle all these together on a quick fire till they do come to be as hard as a stone and then beat it into a very fine powder and when you are to dresse the sore first dippe a taint into Vnguentum Egiptiacum and so rowle it in the said powder and convey the taint with the help of your instrument to the very bottome and it will in short time make it perfectly whole and sound ✚ This powder being strewed upon any old sore or ulcer will both heat and dry it up Another Powder for old sores Take of Quick-silver one ounce let it be well mortified with fasting spittle and mixe with it tryed Hogs grease the quantity of a Hens Egge and Brimstone pulverised incorporate these very well together and anoynt the swelling very well with this unguent having thus done take presently of red Tarre one penny worth of the reddest and best of Hogs grease halfe a pound and of green Copperas and bay Salt of each one handfull both made into fine powder boyle all these on the fire exceeding well and then boyling hot even as it comes from the fire with a clout fastened upon the end of a stick apply this medicine upon the place being so lately anointed with the Quick-silver Hogs grease and Brimstone and thus by scalding it three or foure mornings together you shall after those mornings but onely warme the Tarre medicine upon the fire so that it be but molten and apply it and it will be cured for this scalding of the place doth so kill the malice of the Fistula that it can never breake to annoy the Horse any further ✚ And thus with this medicine I have not onely cured many poll-evils but sundry other Fistulaes it cureth all impostumations and foule Vlcers being thus applyed § 11. P. Hippoph VVHat is good in case of Pursivenesse or shortnesse of Breath Hippos This disease commeth by two meanes the first naturall the second accidentall naturall as when a horse is as we doe usually say cock-thropled for that his throppell or winde-pipe being too long and so becomes crooked as his winde is thereby so straightned or stopped as that he is not able to draw it in and put it forth with that ease and pleasure that other horses doe that are loose thropled for that the winde-pipe is I say straightned which doth convey his breath into his lungs and vent it forth againe In like manner a horse becommeth pursive and short-winded when the pipe is too much filled with fat or other phlegmaticke stuffe whereby he is very much suffocated which causeth his lungs to labour the more and therefore if you shall be pleased to follow my counsell never breed with that horse that is cock-thropled This disease commeth secondly by accident when a horse shall be too hard strained upon his water like as many of your ignorant Ioctries use to doe when morning and evening they doe make them watering courses as they are frequently so termed so also this infirmity commeth by riding gallopping or straining a horse upon a full stomacke before he hath either digested his meat or emptied himselfe for by this meanes

side very well with white Wine Vineger then take off the wet litter and lay the Turfe very hot with the grassy-side next to the place and so put on the Saddle againe and let it so remaine for all night and this presently helpeth any swellings in the withers or any other part of the backe as also any swellings by Spur-gaules or Navell-gaules ✚ This is very good Another If the skin be broken or ulcerated then Take sweet Butter Bay-salt and powder of Frankincense of each as much as will suffice boile all these upon the fire and with a clowt fastened to the end of a sticke even as it commeth boyling from the fire scald it two or three times but if it be full of corruption then make incision on both sides from beneath that the matterative stuffe may the more easily void away downewards and after use none other thing wherewith to heale it up but onely your usuall powder of Lime and Honey which will heale that or dry other such like hurts ✚ This is most excellent I have often experimented the same Another But if it be a wrinckle either in the shoulder or in any other joynt or member then Take of white Wine one pinte halfe a porringer full of Wheate flower of common Honey one pinte of Syzes three ounces boyle all these together to an Vnguent and anoint the places grieved therewith And this also is very soveraigne for Cones Cracks and Chops in the heeles of the horse ✚ This I often using have found it to be very good Another Take three great Onyons picke forth the cores making a concavity or hollownesse in them then fill them up with the powder of Frankincense then wrap them up in three or four handfuls of Hurds or Tow then wet the Hurds and so cover and heale them up in the hot embers and lay upon the top of the embers a good Shovell-full of hot burning coles and so let it remaine untill the Onions be throughly rosted then take them forth and separate the Hurds and burned part from the other and the soft and pappy part you shall apply to the sorance very hot and let it remain three daies before it be removed and do thus so oft as need shall require untill it be through whole but unlesse the hurt or bruise be very great it will be cured at first dressing ✚ This is very good Another But if the place grieved be broken Take then of the oyle of Worms of Turpentine and common Honey of each two ounces incorporate all these together very well till you have brought them to be one body and either by Taint or Plaister dresse the sorance therewith and it will heale it up sound ✚ And this also is very good Another If your Horse hath taken a wrēch in the shoulder or in the hippe knee or hoofe then first swim him then after for thirteen or fourteen dayes together annoynt the member grieved all over and a good way about with this unguent Take of the oyle de Bay of Nervall of Dialthea of tryed Hogs grease of each two ounces melt all these together and stirre them well till they be well incorporated and herewith anoint him against the haire with a hot bar of iron to be holden before you as you annoint him and after let him be rowelled with a French Rowell and let a Patten-shooe be put upon the contrary foot and let him be kept in the house and the Rowell turned daily and the corruption put forth and then let him be either gently ridden or walked every day halfe an houre and let the Rowell remain in the Horse fourteen daies at the least then take it out and heale up the orifice with your green Oyntment and so soon as he is whole with your cauterizing-iron draw crosse lines eight or nine inches long over against the joynt that was pained so as the rowelled place may be in the middle but yet burn him no deeper then that the skin may look yellow and then charge all that place with this charge Take Pitch one pound Rosin halfe a pound and Tarre half a pint melt these together and whilst it is warm charge the place therwith and clap Flocks upon the charge and then if the season of the yeare will serve let him be turned to grasse and so let him run three moneths at the least ✚ This is very good § 7. W. Hippoph WHat is good to cure wormes Wormes of what sort soever in a Horse Hippos Of this malady I have entreated sufficiently before in the § of Bots where I have given you many good receits Neverthelesse I will give you one or two more for wormes onely and so leave you to practise Take the entrails of a great Chick and with the powder of Brimstone and Bay-Salt rowled in the said entrails give it him down his throat and cause him to swallow them so warm as they come out of the belly of the Chicken but cast away the Gizard give him this three mornings together and every time ride or walk him till he dungeth and keep him warm and give him white water and at three dayes end give him Rice boyled in water and after dryed in the Sun and give him also to eate the leaves of Sallowes and it will cause him to voyd the Worms with his ordure but if you shall rake him first it will be the better ✚ This is very good Another Take the tender tops of Broom and Saven of each halfe a handfull chop them very small and work them into Pils with sweet Butter and having kept your Horse fasting over night give him them in the morning to wit three of those Pils at a time and then set him upon the Trench for two or three hours after and then give him meat but no drink at all till night by any meanes and then let him have warm but no white water ✚ This I have often experienced and do know it to be a most excellent receit CHAP. XXII § 1. Y. Hippoph WHat is your best cure for the Yellowes Hippos This disease of the Yellowes in a Horse is the very same that Physitians do call the Iaundise in a man and as there be two sorts of Iaundise in a man so also are there the like in a Horse viz. the Yellow and the Black the yellow being moyst the black dry the yellow proceeding from the over-flowing of the gall occasioned of choller and the black comming from the over-working of the Spleen by means of over-much malancholy both bad infirmities but the black worst more dangerous and most mortall the yellow is more easily discovered by reason of its colour for it coloureth the whites of the eyes the tongue the lips and the inward parts of the nostrils which the black Iaundise doth not apparantly albeit by due and strict observation you may come to know when your Horse hath a black Iaundise for then you shall perceive the whites of his eyes lips tongue and
