that_o it_o be_v good_a to_o bear_v a_o temperate_a hand_n both_o upon_o my_o bit_n and_o cavison_n and_o also_o how_o much_o i_o shall_v force_v he_o with_o the_o rain_v thereof_o but_o there_o yet_o remain_v two_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v almost_o forget_v and_o the_o first_o be_v the_o due_a place_n of_o the_o bit_n &_o the_o other_o be_v how_o and_o in_o what_o order_n i_o shall_v take_v the_o reins_n of_o my_o bit_n and_o cavison_n both_o in_o one_o hand_n at_o once_o and_o also_o how_o i_o shall_v hold_v my_o hand_n upon_o the_o reins_n of_o my_o bit_n when_o i_o ride_v without_o a_o cavison_n &_o what_o you_o mean_v by_o draw_v the_o reins_n of_o my_o bit_n soft_o and_o let_v it_o go_v again_o clifford_n to_o thy_o first_o demand_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o due_a place_n of_o the_o bit_n be_v that_o it_o hang_v half_a a_o finger_n breadth_n high_o than_o the_o tusk_n of_o your_o horse_n and_o to_o some_o horse_n it_o be_v not_o amiss_o to_o hang_v it_o a_o inch_n high_o than_o the_o tusk_n or_o fang_n of_o his_o mouth_n but_o the_o general_a rule_n that_o thou_o shall_v observe_v herein_o be_v that_o thou_o never_o let_v it_o hang_v so_o a_o side_n that_o it_o touch_v the_o fore_n name_v tusk_n for_o if_o it_o do_v touch_v his_o tusk_n it_o shall_v cause_v he_o to_o check_v upon_o the_o bit_n and_o hurt_v his_o mouth_n so_o as_o it_o shall_v bleed_v and_o as_o touch_v thy_o second_o demand_n thou_o shall_v first_o take_v both_o the_o reins_n of_o thy_o cavison_n in_o thy_o left_a hand_n so_o close_o under_o the_o nether_a part_n or_o root_n of_o your_o thumb_n as_o you_o may_v hold_v he_o fast_o with_o your_o little_a finger_n and_o thumb_n then_o shall_v you_o take_v the_o end_n of_o your_o bridle_n rain_v in_o your_o right_a hand_n betwixt_o your_o body_n and_o your_o bridle_n hand_n then_o shall_v you_o put_v your_o ring_n finger_n betwixt_o the_o reins_n of_o your_o bit_n without_o let_v your_o little_a finger_n go_v which_o you_o must_v hold_v fast_o upon_o your_o cavison_n rain_v and_o the_o neathermost_a part_n of_o your_o thumb_n also_o then_o shall_v you_o close_v your_o three_o finger_n so_o close_o as_o you_o can_v and_o have_v turn_v your_o bridle_n rain_v with_o your_o right_a hand_n over_o the_o middle_a joint_n of_o the_o fore_a finger_n of_o your_o left_a hand_n you_o shall_v hold_v your_o thumb_n close_o upon_o the_o bridle_n rain_v so_o as_o you_o give_v they_o no_o liberty_n to_o slip_v through_o your_o hand_n have_v thus_o take_v your_o bridle_n rain_v of_o a_o just_a length_n and_o place_n the_o reins_n of_o your_o cavison_n above_o or_o over_o they_o i_o mean_v deep_o in_o your_o fist_n then_o the_o reins_n of_o your_o bit_n for_o that_o you_o hold_v the_o reins_n of_o your_o cavison_n in_o your_o full_a fist_n and_o the_o reins_n of_o your_o bit_n but_o in_o the_o middle_n of_o three_o of_o your_o finger_n then_o shall_v you_o let_v the_o end_n of_o your_o bridle_n rain_v fall_v out_o of_o your_o right_a hand_n &_o take_v hold_v of_o the_o right_a rain_n of_o your_o cavison_n and_o the_o end_n of_o the_o leave_v also_o in_o your_o right_a hand_n then_o if_o your_o left_a rain_n be_v too_o long_o you_o may_v draw_v it_o short_a by_o hold_v your_o right_a hand_n fast_o and_o slake_v your_o left_a hand_n a_o little_a to_o let_v the_o reins_n of_o your_o cavison_n pass_v till_o you_o have_v draw_v it_o of_o such_o length_n as_o you_o may_v hold_v he_o therewith_o in_o such_o order_n as_o have_v be_v before_o teach_v kingdon_n you_o teach_v i_o here_o how_o i_o shall_v hold_v my_o right_a hand_n fast_o upon_o the_o reins_n of_o my_o cavison_n and_o how_o i_o shall_v slack_v my_o left_a hand_n till_o i_o have_v let_v the_o reins_n pass_v through_o so_o far_o as_o they_o come_v to_o their_o just_a length_n which_o just_a length_n be_v when_o i_o may_v bear_v my_o horse_n altogether_o upon_o the_o cavison_n and_o yet_o hold_v the_o reins_n of_o my_o bit_n so_o short_a that_o if_o i_o let_v slip_v the_o left_a rain_n of_o my_o cavison_n but_o one_o inch_n i_o must_v stay_v my_o horse_n altogether_o upon_o the_o bit_n but_o it_o rest_v how_o i_o shall_v draw_v the_o reins_n of_o my_o cavison_n short_a at_o my_o pleasure_n without_o lose_v my_o right_a hand_n or_o let_v the_o reins_n of_o my_o bridle_n go_v clifford_n if_o thou_o be_v no_o more_o senseless_a than_o a_o

sufficient_o but_o because_o thou_o shall_v know_v that_o i_o have_v rather_o loose_v my_o life_n then_o take_v in_o hand_n any_o matter_n of_o importance_n and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o end_v or_o bring_v the_o same_o to_o perfection_n though_o not_o for_o thy_o sake_n who_o have_v negligent_o leave_v mine_v with_o thy_o pen_n while_o the_o golden_a vain_a of_o my_o experience_n be_v most_o
