for_o his_o leg_n for_o you_o must_v have_v two_o and_o with_o it_o rub_v and_o dress_v his_o leg_n also_o now_o by_o the_o way_n let_v i_o give_v you_o this_o necessary_a caution_n be_v sure_a whilst_o you_o be_v dress_v your_o horse_n let_v he_o not_o stand_v naked_a his_o body_n be_v expose_v to_o the_o penetration_n of_o the_o air_n whilst_o you_o be_v tell_v a_o banbury-story_n to_o

and_o there_o let_v he_o drink_v about_o half_a his_o draught_n at_o first_o to_o prevent_v raw_a crudity_n arise_v in_o his_o stomach_n after_o he_o have_v drink_v bring_v he_o calm_o out_o of_o the_o water_n and_o so_o ride_v he_o gentle_o for_o a_o while_n for_o nothing_o be_v more_o unbeseeming_a a_o horseman_n than_o to_o thrust_v his_o horse_n into_o a_o swift_a gall●p_n as_o soon_o as_o

advantage_n belong_v to_o each_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o show_v the_o necessity_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o training_n and_o diet_v horse_n but_o this_o alone_a be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o the_o

or_o three_o heat_n and_o a_o course_n for_o a_o plate_n the_o first_o requisite_a in_o a_o rider_n next_o to_o faithfulness_n in_o his_o trust_n be_v to_o have_v a_o good_a close_a seat_n his_o

the_o calf_n of_o your_o leg_n as_o if_o you_o will_v beat_v the_o wind_n out_o of_o his_o body_n bust_v just_a turn_n your_o toe_n outward_o and_o bring_v the_o spur_n quick_a to_o his_o side_n and_o such_o a_o sharp_a stroke_n will_v be_v more_o serviceable_a to_o the_o quicken_a of_o your_o horse_n and_o soon_o draw_v blood_n be_v sure_a not_o to_o spur_v yonr_a horse_n but_o when_o there_o be_v

when_o you_o whip_v your_o horse_n let_v it_o be_v over_o the_o shoulder_n on_o the_o near_a side_n except_z upon_z hard_o run_v and_o when_o you_o be_v at_o all_o then_o be_v sure_a with_o a_o

your_o horse_n and_o that_o you_o be_v certain_a he_o be_v at_o the_o top_n of_o his_o speed_n if_o then_o he_o clap_v his_o ear_n in_o his_o pole_n or_o whisk_n his_o tail_n be_v sure_a that_o you_o bear_v he_o hard_o and_o give_v he_o as_o much_o comfort_n as_o ever_o you_o can_v by_o saw_v his_o snaffle_n to_o and_o fro_o in_o his_o mouth_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n force_v he_o to_o open_v his_o mouth_n which_o will_v comfort_v he_o and_o give_v he_o wind_n if_o there_o be_v any_o high_a wind_n stir_v when_o you_o ride_v observe_v if_o it_o be_v in_o your_o face_n to_o let_v your_o adversary_n lead_v and_o to_o hold_v hard_o behind_o he_o till_o you_o see_v your_o opportunity_n of_o give_v a_o loose_a yet_o you_o must_v observe_v to_o ride_v so_o close_o to_o he_o that_o his_o horse_n may_v break_v the_o wind_n from_o you_o and_o that_o you_o by_o stoop_v low_a in_o your_o seat_n may_v shelter_v yourself_o under_o he_o which_o will_v assist_v the_o strength_n of_o your_o

as_o your_o adversary_n will_v give_v you_o leave_v on_o level_a carpet-ground_n because_o your_o horse_n natural_o will_v be_v desirous_a to_o spend_v himself_o more_o free_o thereon_o but_o on_o

and_o bear_v he_o for_o fear_v of_o run_v he_o out_o of_o wind_n but_o down_o hill_n if_o your_o horse_n foot_n and_o shoulder_n will_v endure_v it_o and_o you_o dare_v venture_v your_o own_o neck_n always_o give_v he_o a_o loose_a only_o take_v this_o for_o a_o general_a rule_n that_o if_o you_o find_v your_o horse_n to_o have_v the_o heel_n of_o the_o other_o that_o then_o you_o be_v careful_a to_o preserve_v his_o speed_n till_o the_o last_o train-scent_n if_o you_o be_v not_o to_o run_v a_o straight_a course_n but_o i●_n so_o then_o till_o the_o course_n &_o so_o to_o husband_n it_o
