chief_a &_o only_o principal_a point_n of_o horsemanship_n first_o therefore_o when_o you_o ride_v with_o a_o wand_n take_v it_o very_o wary_o that_o the_o horse_n be_v not_o fear_v therewith_o &_o to_o assurethe_o horse_n thereof_o present_o after_o you_o have_v receive_v it_o coy_a and_o scratch_v he_o about_o the_o neck_n with_o the_o end_n thereof_o and_o for_o the_o carry_v thereof_o it_o

then_o before_o the_o end_n of_o his_o second_o course_n when_o he_o be_v almost_o ready_a to_o turn_v on_o the_o left_a hand_n listen_v your_o hand_n and_o rod_n &_o hold_v the_o point_n right_o

not_o turn_v on_o the_o side_n you_o will_v have_v he_o evermore_o beat_v he_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n and_o when_o he_o be_v any_o way_n disorder_v carry_v the_o wand_n on_o the_o contrary_a
