take a hard Plaister made of Rozin Wax and wash'd Turpentine well Molten together and with your hot Iron Melt it upon the head of the Strings then fear the Strings and then Melt more of the Salve till such time as you have laid a good thickness of the Salve upon the Strings then loose the Nippers and do so to the other Stone and fill the two slits of the Cod with white Salt and anoint all the outside of the Cod with Hogs-grease and so let him rise and keep him in a warm Stable loose that so he may walk up and down for there is nothing better for him then moderate Exercise Now if you do perceive that he doth swell in his Cod and sheath very much then chafe him up and down and make him Trot an hour in a day and it will soon recover him and make him sound To make a white Star either on your Horses fore-Head or in any other part of his Body After you have with a Razor shaved away the Hair so wide as you would have the Star then take of a little of the Oyl of Vitriol in an Oyster-shell and dip a Feather or a piece of Silk into it for it will eat both Linnen and Woollen and just wet it all over the place shaved and it will eat away the Roots of the Hairs and the next that comes will be white You need not do it above once you may heal it up with your Copperas water and green Ointment To make a black Star or white Hairs black Wash often the place you would have made black with Fearn Roots and Sage sod in Lye and it will breed black Hairs in a white Horse Or take Souter Ink Galls and Rust beaten well together and anoint the place therewith and it will turn white to black To make a Red Star Take Aqua fortis one Ounce of Aqua vitae a penni-worth of Silver to the value of eighteen pence Put them in a Glass and heat them well therein and then anoint the place very well therewith and it will immediately turn the Hairs to be of a perfect red Colour but they will endure no longer then the casting of the Hair which you must renew again if you intend it shall contiuue To make a Horse seem Young Take a small crooked Iron no bigger then a Wheat-Corn and having made it red hot burn a little black hole in the tops of the two outmost Teeth of each side the nether Chap before next to the Tushes where the Mark is worn out then with an Awl-blade pick it and make the Shell fine and thin then with a sharp scraping Iron make all his Teeth white and clean This done take a fine Lancet and above the Hollows of the Horses Eyes which are shrunk down make a little hole only through the Skin and put in the Quill of a Raven or Crow and blow the Skin full of Wind till all the hollowness be filled up then take out your Quill and lay your Finger upon the hole a little while and the Wind will stay in and he will look as youthful as if he were but six years old To make a Horse that he shall not Neigh either in company or when he is ridden If either you be in Service of the Wars and would not be discovered or when upon any other occasion you would not have him to Neigh or make a Noise then take a List of Woollen Cloth and Tie it fast in many folds about the midst of his Tongue and he will not Neigh nor make any extraordinary Noise with his Voice as hath been often tried and approved of To Help a Horse that hath Laved or Bangle Earer Take his Eares and place them in such manner as you would have them stand and then with two little Boards or pieces of Trenchers three Fingers broad having long strings knit unto them bind the Ears so fast in the places where they stand as that they cannot stir then betwixt the Head and the Root of the Ear you shall see a great deal of empty wrinkled Skin which with your Finger and your Thumb you shall pull up and with a sharp Pair of Scissers clip away all the empty Skin close by the Head then with a Needle and red Sllk stitch the two sides of the Skin close together and then with your green Ointment heal up the Sore Which done take away the Splints which held up his Eares and you shall find that in a short space his Eares will keep the same place as you set them without Alteration And this you shall find to be as certain and true as the healing of a cut Finger The first Inventors of Riding Bellirophons as some Men say was the first that Invented Riding on Horse-back And the Pelletrones a People of Lapithia found out afterwards the manner of Bridles Bits and Rings to guide Horses withal But they of Thessalia were the first that used the service of Horses in the Wars The Receipt of making the Cordial Balls The true manner of making those Cordial Balls which Cure any violent Cold or Glaunders which prevent Heart-Sickness which purge away all Molten Grease which recover a lost Stomach which keep the Heart from fainting with Exercise and make a lean Horse sat suddenly Take Anniseeds Cummin-seeds Fennegreek seeds Carthumus seeds Elecampane Roots and colts-Colts-foot of each of these two Ounces beaten and searced very Fine two Ounces of the Flower of Brimstone then take an Ounce of the Juice of Licoras and dissolve it on the Fire in half a Pint of white-Wine which done take an Ounce of Chymical Oyl of Anniseeds then take of Sallet-Oyl Honey and of Syrup of Sugar or for want of it Molosses of each half a Pint then mix all these with the former Powders and with as much fine Wheat-Flower as will bind and knit them altogether work them into a stiff Paste and make thereof Balls somewhat bigger then French Wall-nuts Hull and all and so keep them in a close Gally-pot for they will last all the year yet I do not mean that you shall keep them in the Pot in Balls because they cannot lie close the Air may get in and do hurt as also the strength of the Oyls will sweat outward and weaken the substance therefore knead the whole Lump of Paste into the Gally-pot and make the Balls as you have occasion to use them The Form of the Balls If you give them upon the end of a stick you must make them sharp at both ends and thick in the middle But if you give him them in a Horn of Beer make them about the bigness of a good big Wall-nut and put down a Horn-full of strong Beer after every Ball to clear his Passage and to prevent sticking The Vse of these Balls Now for the Use of these Balls because they are Cordial and have diver excellent Vertues you shall understand that if you use them to prevent ●ickness then you shall take a Ball
