in_o sickness_n in_o the_o four_o chapter_n of_o this_o second_o book_n i_o do_v begin_v to_o handle_v the_o cure_n in_o particular_a wherein_o i_o run_v a_o course_n by_o myself_o which_o i_o have_v

upon_o they_o nevertheless_o if_o god_n permit_v i_o to_o reprint_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o by_o that_o time_n to_o give_v they_o for_o approve_a and_o warrantable_a and_o to_o add_v many_o more_o unto_o they_o which_o i_o have_v already_o by_o i_o which_o i_o do_v forbear_v to_o publish_v at_o this_o present_a albeit_o i_o do_v know_v many_o of_o they_o to_o be_v as_o probable_o good_a as_o

rare_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o find_v a_o skilful_a ferrier_n among_o our_o rural_a or_o country_n smith_n for_o if_o the_o nobility_n &_o gentry_n of_o this_o our_o isle_n of_o great_a britain_n do_v true_o know_v how_o honourable_a and_o how_o commendable_a horsemanship_n be_v and_o how_o much_o they_o be_v esteem_v and_o admire_v who_o be_v the_o true_a professor_n thereof_o they_o will_v labour_v more_o than_o they_o now_o do_v to_o breed_v and_o have_v good_a horse_n but_o it_o much_o trouble_v i_o to_o see_v how_o little_o esteem_v gentleman_n now_o a_o day_n have_v thereof_o some_o horse_n they_o have_v though_o not_o for_o menage_n yet_o for_o hunt_v but_o what_o manner_n of_o hunt_v fox-hunting_a forsooth_o or_o harrier_n which_o be_v as_o fleet_n as_o petty_a greyhound_n wherewith_o they_o do_v so_o much_o over-straine_n the_o strength_n of_o their_o poor_a horse_n force_v they_o over_o deepe-fallowes_a tough-clayes_n and_o wet_a and_o rough_a land_n that_o albeit_o those_o horse_n be_v strong_a and_o able_a yet_o be_v they_o so_o toil_v out_o therewith_o as_o that_o when_o they_o come_v home_o at_o night_n they_o will_v pity_v the_o heart_n of_o he_o who_o

such_o heroic_a and_o generous_a spirit_n who_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o inform_v and_o better_v their_o understanding_n in_o the_o secret_n of_o this_o brave_a mystery_n who_o if_o they_o have_v a_o
