without_o give_v liberty_n and_o then_o strike_v he_o on_o the_o neck_n with_o your_o rod_n and_o in_o that_o instant_a time_n say_v back_o back_o but_o if_o he_o refuse_v let_v a_o footman_n with_o

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

your_o manage_n lay_v your_o hand_n on_o your_o right_a thigh_n and_o the_o wand_n across_o the_o horse_n neck_n and_o when_o he_o have_v make_v his_o course_n and_o turn_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n 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

one_o the_o rump_n and_o haunch_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o use_n of_o the_o wand_n as_o occasion_n shall_v serve_v now_o for_o the_o true_a use_n of_o the_o bit_n which_o be_v a_o instrument_n

the_o same_o overlight_o first_o therefore_o let_v the_o bit_n that_o you_o first_o bite_v your_o horse_n withal_o be_v gentle_a and_o pleasant_a yet_o so_o that_o the_o gentleness_n cause_v he_o
