then_o hippos_n first_o sir_n you_o must_v understand_v that_o fever_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n that_o be_v to_o say_v ordinary_a and_o accidental_a the_o ordinary_a fever_n be_v those_o that_o come_v of_o surfeit_n over-riding_a and_o labour_n unwholesome_a meat_n as_o moist_a raw_a mouldy_a and_o musty_a bread_n corn_n provender_n and_o hay_n of_o what_o nature_n sort_n or_o condition_n soever_o but_o your_o fever_n accidental_a come_v of_o some_o terrible_a stroke_n or_o deep_a wound_n bring_v therewith_o insufferable_a pain_n dolour_n and_o grief_n to_o the_o poor_a beast_n again_o your_o ordinary_a fever_n come_v oft_o time_n by_o the_o extreme_a violent_a scorch_a of_o the_o sun_n but_o most_o common_o in_o the_o canicular_a day_n as_o when_o your_o horse_n be_v abroad_o at_o grass_n where_o be_v either_o want_n of_o water_n or_o have_v such_o as_o be_v neither_o good_a or_o wholesome_a or_o else_o where_o be_v want_v of_o house_n shelter_n to_o go_v into_o or_o shady_a tree_n to_o be_v under_o and_o such_o kind_n of_o ague_n do_v prove_v for_o the_o most_o part_n either_o hectike_a or_o pestilent_a fever_n for_o by_o that_o mean_v his_o blood_n become_v inflame_v whereby_o the_o humour_n of_o choler_n be_v predominate_a now_o sir_n if_o you_o be_v please_v to_o observe_v strict_o and_o careful_o you_o shall_v also_o find_v that_o fever_n do_v come_v many_o time_n also_o
