a_o body-cloath_n of_o six_o or_o eight_o strap_n which_o be_v better_o than_o a_o sircingl●_n and_o pad_n stuff_v with_o wisp_n because_o this_o keep_v his_o belly_n in_o shape_n and_o be_v not_o

the_o golden_a mean_n be_v best_a there_o be_v a_o mean_a to_o be_v observe_v too_o here_o for_o as_o too_o few_o clothes_n will_v not_o assist_v nature_n sufficient_o in_o the_o expulsion_n of_o her_o enemy_n so_o too_o many_o will_v force_v she_o too_o much_o and_o cause_n weakness_n in_o your_o horse_n by_o too_o violent_a sweating_n therefore_o you_o must_v have_v a_o care_n of_o follow_v
