away_o be_v present_a now_o that_o oft_o let_v of_o blood_n breed_v in_o a_o horse_n weakness_n and_o make_v the_o blood_n to_o resort_v to_o the_o inward_a part_n cloy_a the_o heart_n &_o entrail_n &_o make_v the_o outward_a part_n fat_a &_o unwieldy_a there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o that_o the_o let_v a_o horse_n blood_n twice_o in_o the_o year_n namely_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o may_n &_o the_o end_n of_o december_n at_o which_o time_n only_o i_o will_v have_v a_o horse_n let_v blood_n &_o no_o other_o shall_v be_v account_v oft_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n now_o for_o stallion_n the_o ancient_a farrier_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n have_v they_o let_v blood_n because_o say_v they_o the_o cover_n of_o mare_n be_v as_o great_a a_o expense_n of_o blood_n as_o may_v be_v affirm_v that_o one_o ounce_n of_o seed_n do_v countervail_v five_o ounce_n of_o blood_n &_o true_o i_o be_o of_o that_o opinion_n to_o but_o whereas_o they_o likewise_o advise_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o let_v gelding_n blood_n because_o the_o loss_n of_o their_o stone_n be_v the_o loss_n of_o their_o natural_a heat_n to_o that_o i_o be_o much_o contrary_n because_o i_o have_v find_v it_o by_o continual_a experience_n that_o gelding_n do_v as_o oft_o die_v through_o the_o corruption_n &_o abundance_n of_o blood_n as_o horse_n nay_o &_o much_o more_o oft_o in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o want_v the_o help_n which_o horse_n have_v for_o purge_v their_o blood_n from_o uncleanness_n now_o in_o the_o let_n of_o horse_n blood_n every_o careful_a farrier_n be_v first_o to_o respect_v the_o climate_n under_o which_o the_o horse_n be_v breed_v know_v that_o those_o horse_n which_o be_v breed_v in_o cold_a country_n have_v ever_o more_o blood_n than_o those_o which_o be_v breed_v in_o the_o hot_a then_o he_o must_v consider_v the_o time_n of_o the_o year_n which_o will_v ever_o be_v the_o spring_n or_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o leaf_n both_o those_o time_n be_v most_o temperate_a neither_o exceed_v in_o heat_n nor_o in_o cold_a next_o he_o must_v regard_v the_o time_n of_o the_o day_n which_o will_v ever_o be_v in_o the_o morning_n fast_v so_o it_o be_v not_o at_o the_o horse_n awake_v from_o sleep_n but_o at_o least_o a_o hour_n or_o two_o after_o then_o he_o must_v look_v unto_o the_o state_n of_o the_o moon_n that_o the_o sign_n be_v not_o in_o that_o part_n of_o the_o body_n where_o he_o intend_v to_o let_v blood_n next_o he_o must_v look_v to_o the_o horse_n age_n for_o if_o he_o be_v young_a &_o not_o come_v to_o his_o growth_n it_o will_v hinder_v his_o wax_a &_o if_o he_o be_v old_a and_o come_v to_o decrepidnes_n his_o blood_n have_v more_o need_n be_v repair_v then_o waste_v last_o he_o shall_v look_v to_o the_o horse_n strength_n and_o ancient_a custom_n and_o so_o according_o he_o shall_v deal_v with_o he_o observe_v that_o some_o horse_n may_v better_o spare_v two_o or_o three_o pound_n of_o blood_n than_o other_o some_o one_o pound_n now_o thus_o much_o i_o have_v speak_v touch_v ordinary_a &_o natural_a let_n of_o blood_n without_o compulsion_n of_o any_o sickness_n or_o disease_n but_o in_o case_n where_o sickness_n or_o infirmity_n crave_v this_o office_n of_o let_v blood_n there_o you_o shall_v neither_o respect_n climate_n season_n of_o the_o year_n time_n of_o the_o day_n sign_n age_n strength_n nor_o custom_n but_o set_v all_o aside_o apply_v yourself_o only_o to_o the_o remove_n of_o the_o infirmity_n now_o the_o sign_n to_o know_v if_o a_o horse_n stand_v in_o need_n to_o be_v let_v blood_n be_v these_o his_o eye_n will_v look_v red_a and_o his_o vein_n will_v swell_v more_o than_o ordinary_a also_o he_o will_v have_v a_o certain_a itch_n about_o his_o main_a and_o his_o tail_n and_o will_v be_v continual_o rub_v they_o and_o sometime_o will_v shed_v some_o of_o his_o hair_n also_o he_o will_v now_o and_o then_o pill_n about_o the_o root_n of_o his_o ear_n or_o in_o those_o place_n where_o the_o head-stale_a of_o the_o bridle_n lie_v his_o urine_n will_v be_v red_a and_o high_a colour_a and_o his_o dung_n will_v be_v black_a and_o hard_a also_o if_o he_o have_v red_a inflammation_n or_o little_a bubble_n on_o his_o back_n or_o do_v not_o digest_v his_o meat_n well_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n the_o horse_n will_v be_v let_v blood_n or_o if_o he_o have_v any_o apparent_a sign_n of_o yellow_n in_o the_o white_n of_o his_o eye_n or_o in_o the_o inside_n of_o his_o lip_n either_o upper_a or_o nether_a it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o will_v be_v let_v blood_n for_o after_o any_o of_o these_o sign_n do_v most_o common_o follow_v some_o one_o or_o other_o grievous_a sickness_n which_o to_o prevent_v be_v the_o true_a art_n of_o a_o skilful_a farrier_n now_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o when_o you_o intend_v to_o let_v a_o horse_n blood_n have_v leisure_n to_o do_v the_o same_o that_o you_o suffer_v he_o to_o be_v thin_o dyet_v a_o day_n or_o two_o before_o he_o be_v let_v blood_n to_o the_o end_n that_o his_o body_n may_v be_v quiet_a &_o not_o trouble_v with_o digestion_n now_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o let_v a_o horse_n blood_n you_o shall_v as_o near_o as_o you_o can_v let_v he_o stand_v upon_o even_a ground_n &_o if_o it_o be_v the_o neck_n vein_n which_o you_o will_v strike_v you_o shall_v take_v a_o small_a long_a cord_n with_o a_o noose_n and_o put_v it_o over_o the_o horse_n neck_n as_o close_o to_o the_o set_n on_o of_o the_o shoulder_n as_o you_o can_v there_o draw_v it_o a_o straight_a as_o be_v possible_a and_o then_o fasten_v it_o with_o a_o run_a knot_n and_o straight_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o vein_n to_o appear_v as_o big_a as_o a_o man_n little_a finger_n even_o from_o the_o nether_a chap_n down_o the_o neck_n now_o you_o be_v to_o observe_v that_o the_o place_n where_o you_o be_v to_o strike_v the_o vein_n in_o be_v eever_n within_o 3_o finger_n or_o 4_o finger_n at_o the_o most_o of_o the_o nether_a chap_n as_o thus_o if_o your_o horse_n have_v a_o long_a fine_a thin_a neck_n and_o skin_n than_o you_o may_v strike_v the_o vein_n within_o three_o finger_n or_o less_o of_o the_o chap_n since_o the_o high_a be_v ever_o the_o better_a but_o if_o he_o have_v a_o short_a chub_n neck_n with_o a_o thick_a skin_n
