again_o and_o forward_o at_o the_o least_o a_o dozen_o pace_n together_o this_o be_v a_o most_o ready_a remedy_n for_o this_o error_n but_o if_o stubbornenes_n have_v take_v away_o the_o benefit_n of_o this_o you_o must_v to_o these_o correction_n add_v the_o benefit_n of_o your_o bit_n which_o must_v be_v make_v of_o more_o compass_n as_o consist_v of_o at_o least_o three_o break_a descent_n all_o break_a inward_a upon_o which_o kind_n of_o bit_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o horse_n to_o stay_v or_o settle_v his_o head_n but_o he_o must_v needs_o bring_v in_o his_o nose_n and_o

natural_o train_v up_o more_o to_o draught_n then_o to_o burden_n other_o do_v prefer_v before_o these_o horse_n the_o flemish_a mare_n and_o i_o be_o of_o that_o opinion_n also_o both_o because_o of_o their_o more_o temperate_a and_o cool_a spirit_n their_o quiet_a socyablenes_n in_o company_n and_o their_o bringing_n up_o which_o only_o be_v in_o the_o waggon_n by_o which_o mean_n travel_v with_o more_o patience_n they_o be_v ever_o of_o more_o strength_n and_o endurance_n yet_o both_o these_o horse_n and_o mare_n have_v their_o fault_n ever_o couple_v to_o their_o virtue_n as_o first_o their_o pace_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n short_a trot_n which_o contain_v much_o labour_n in_o a_o little_a ground_n and_o so_o bring_v faintness_n of_o spirit_n in_o little_a journey_n whereas_o indeed_o a_o coach_n horse_n shall_v stretch_v forth_o his_o foot_n and_o the_o smooth_a and_o long_o he_o stride_v the_o more_o way_n he_o rid_v and_o the_o soon_o come_v to_o his_o journey_n end_v without_o tire_v next_o their_o limb_n from_o the_o knee_n and_o cambrel_n downward_o be_v so_o rough_a and_o hairy_a and_o the_o horse_n natural_o of_o themselves_o so_o subject_a to_o salt_n and_o fret_a humour_n in_o those_o part_n that_o neither_o can_v the_o coachman_n keep_v they_o from_o the_o pain_n scratch_n mallender_n sellander_n and_o such_o like_a disease_n nor_o the_o farryer_n oft_o time_n with_o his_o best_a skill_n cure_v they_o when_o they_o be_v disease_v last_o they_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o resty_a &_o hot_a spirit_n so_o that_o albeit_o they_o be_v

any_o horse_n comparable_a either_o for_o strength_n courage_n or_o labour_n with_o the_o large_a shape_a english_a gelding_n for_o he_o be_v as_o mild_a and_o sociable_a as_o the_o flemish_a mare_n more_o able_a to_o endure_v travel_n better_o shape_v and_o long_o continue_v in_o service_n for_o the_o mare_n if_o she_o be_v proud_o keep_v as_o of_o necessity_n the_o coach_n mare_n must_v be_v

with_o the_o corruption_n of_o her_o pride_n or_o else_o with_o leprosy_n but_o if_o they_o be_v speade_v or_o gelte_v mare_n they_o be_v they_o the_o worst_a of_o all_o for_o the_o body_n &_o

be_v the_o speed_n mare_n short_a of_o the_o gelding_n wherefore_o for_o the_o avoidance_n of_o all_o inconvenience_n the_o best_a for_o the_o coach_n be_v the_o large_a strong_a english_a gelding_n

the_o way_n where_o there_o be_v many_o scar_n and_o boggard_n if_o when_o the_o old_a horse_n take_v no_o affright_n but_o pass_v quiet_o on_o the_o follow_a horse_n take_v scar_n almost_o at_o
