for_o these_o fore_n mention_v thing_n be_v this_o first_o for_o the_o linen_n sheet_n as_o it_o be_v neat_a and_o please_a to_o the_o horse_n so_o it_o carry_v this_o commodity_n when_o nature_n

he_o to_o sweat_v unnatural_o but_o also_o fauster_n and_o continue_v his_o sweat_n till_o it_o turn_v to_o faintness_n and_o then_o as_o the_o sweat_v proceed_v of_o natural_a cause_n strengthen_v

the_o second_o cause_n be_v a_o horse_n be_v pester_v and_o as_o it_o be_v load_v with_o many_o clothes_n when_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v strip_v naked_a and_o ease_v of_o they_o will_v find_v

when_o he_o be_v naked_a the_o cold_a air_n will_v be_v so_o pierce_v that_o whereas_o otherwise_o a_o course_n of_o three_o or_o four_o mile_n will_v thrust_v he_o into_o a_o extreme_a faint_a

to_o make_v your_o horse_n stop_v and_o ease_v it_o again_o to_o make_v he_o go_v forward_o in_o his_o turn_n so_o in_o his_o galloppe_n you_o must_v draw_v up_o your_o hand_n to_o keep_v his_o head_n in_o his_o true_a place_n and_o also_o ease_v it_o again_o to_o sweeten_v his_o mouth_n and_o make_v he_o to_o ride_v with_o more_o pleasure_n whereas_o if_o you_o hold_v your_o hand_n aways_o in_o

when_o your_o horse_n can_v make_v this_o manage_n you_o may_v then_o if_o you_o please_v make_v he_o manage_v in_o a_o large_a sort_n which_o be_v very_o comely_a in_o this_o manner_n pace_v out_o a_o ring_n of_o five_o or_o six_o yard_n compass_n on_o your_o right_a hand_n and_o then_o pace_v down_o the_o furrow_n as_o be_v before_o say_v mark_v out_o another_o on_o your_o left_a hand_n of_o

force_v your_o horse_n to_o beat_v the_o ring_n about_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o i_o show_v you_o before_o where_o i_o tell_v you_o how_o to_o make_v your_o horse_n to_o beat_v a_o large_a turn_n lofty_o help_v he_o with_o the_o calf_n of_o your_o leg_n your_o hand_n and_o your_o rod_n then_o gallop_v down_o to_o your_o left_a ring_n do_v the_o like_a there_o this_o kind_n of_o manage_n though_o it_o be_v somewhat_o more_o painful_a than_o the_o other_o yet_o if_o the_o horse_n be_v of_o mettle_n that_o do_v it_o it_o carry_v such_o a_o good_a grace_n that_o to_o the_o stander_n by_o which_o shall_v behold_v it_o it_o will_v be_v wonderful_a please_a now_o when_o this_o be_v perfect_v it_o rest_v that_o you_o teach_v your_o horse_n to_o pass_v a_o swift_a and_o strong_a career_n which_o you_o shall_v do_v in_o this_o manner_n be_v come_v into_o some_o gravel_v high_a way_n the_o length_n of_o a_o good_a career_n which_o shall_v be_v measure_v according_a to_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o horse_n yet_o since_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o set_v down_o some_o certainty_n i_o think_v six_o score_n yard_n a_o very_a fit_n career_n as_o well_o for_o the_o heavy_a slug_n horse_n as_o also_o for_o the_o puissant_a and_o fine_a metal_a beast_n for_o as_o the_o one_o may_v run_v it_o without_o weariness_n so_o the_o other_o may_v show_v in_o it_o his_o puissance_n and_o swiftness_n be_v come_v as_o i_o say_v into_o such_o a_o place_n first_o pace_n your_o horse_n twice_o or_o thrice_o about_o a_o small_a ring_n and_o then_o trot_v he_o forward_o six_o score_n yard_n at_o the_o end_n whereof_o pace_n another_o ring_n and_o then_o set_v your_o horse_n head_n straight_o down_o the_o way_n he_o come_v make_v he_o stand_v still_o a_o good_a space_n during_o which_o time_n look_v that_o his_o body_n stand_v straight_o and_o firm_a which_o when_o you_o have_v find_v it_o do_v then_o give_v he_o your_o bridle_n hand_n bend_v your_o body_n a_o little_a forward_a and_o thrust_v out_o both_o your_o leg_n with_o a_o good_a strength_n force_v he_o sudden_o with_o a_o good_a courage_n to_o enter_v into_o a_o swift_a gallop_n which_o with_o the_o even_a stroke_n of_o your_o spur_n increase_n till_o he_o be_v at_o the_o very_a uttermost_a speed_n he_o can_v run_v in_o which_o continue_v he_o till_o he_o come_v to_o your_o first_o ring_n where_o by_o draw_v uppe_o your_o hand_n hard_a and_o firm_a make_v he_o stop_v upon_o his_o buttock_n and_o then_o with_o the_o help_n of_o your_o leg_n make_v he_o advance_v twice_o or_o thrice_o then_o trot_v he_o about_o the_o ring_n and_o stand_v still_o a_o good_a space_n cherish_v he_o and_o no_o more_o note_v that_o when_o you_o start_v your_o career_n to_o make_v your_o horse_n d●o_v it_o with_o great_a life_n and_o courage_n you_o may_v use_v the_o help_n of_o your_o voice_n by_o cry_v how_o or_o hey_o very_o loud_o note_v that_o when_o you_o start_v your_o career_n it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o spur_v your_o horse_n for_o fear_v you_o make_v he_o yerk_v out_o behind_o plunge_v or_o use_v other_o disorder_n which_o such_o violent_a correction_n do_v sudden_o will_v bring_v a_o horse_n unto_o note_v that_o the_o career_n will_v not_o be_v pass_v above_o once_o in_o a_o fortnight_n at_o y_fw-es ●_o most_o nor_o so_o oft_o neither_o if_o your_o horse_n be_v not_o come_v to_o his_o full_a growth_n thus_o much_o have_v i_o think_v good_a to_o write_v as_o touch_v the_o instruct_n of_o horse_n to_o matter_n of_o service_n for_o more_o they_o i_o have_v before_o set_v

no_o horse_n but_o if_o he_o be_v perfect_a in_o what_o be_v before_o write_v must_v of_o force_n do_v they_o at_o his_o pleasure_n because_o there_o be_v no_o alteration_n of_o art_n but_o only_o

man_n peerless_a in_o the_o art_n of_o horsemanshippe_n who_o of_o those_o matter_n have_v write_v absolute_o yet_o by_o the_o way_n note_n that_o according_a as_o your_o horse_n be_v of_o fashion_n so_o must_v the_o cheek_n of_o your_o bytte_n carry_v his_o proportion_n if_o your_o horse_n be_v in_o shape_n gross_a that_o be_v shortnecked_a thick_o chauld_v and_o hard_o mouth_v you_o shall_v then_o have_v the_o cheek_n of_o your_o bytte_n make_v upon_o three_o degree_n according_a to_o this_o figure_n follow_v the_o difference_n and_o nature_n of_o these_o two_o cheek_n be_v this_o the_o first_o which_o stand_v upon_o three_o degree_n bring_v in_o the_o musell_n of_o the_o horse_n and_o make_v he_o perforce_o rain_v well_o that_o otherwise_o will_v thrust_v out_o his_o nose_n ilfavoured_o the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v because_o it_o carry_v a_o great_a compass_n than_o any_o other_o bytte_n insomuch_o that_o a_o horse_n can_v rest_v upon_o it_o unless_o he_o draw_v in_o the_o nether_a part_n of_o his_o head_n whereas_o the_o second_o that_o stand_v but_o upon_o one_o degree_n keep_v a_o horse_n head_n upright_o and_o aloft_o neither_o do_v it_o suffer_v he_o to_o thrust_v out_o his_o nose_n but_o correct_v he_o if_o at_o any_o time_n he_o covet_v to_o put_v his_o head_n downward_o a_o horse_n that_o be_v short_a necked_a and_o narrow_a chaulde_n reason_n tell_v yo●_n can_v couch_v his_o head_n in_o so_o good_a a_o place_n as_o he_o that_o have_v a_o long_a neck_n and_o a_o wide_a chaule_n because_o always_o in_o a_o good_a rain_n he_o must_v hide_v his_o thropell_n or_o weison_n within_o his_o chaule_n therefore_o if_o you_o shall_v set_v he_o upon_o a_o bit_n that_o do_v not_o carry_v great_a compass_n in_o the_o cheek_n as_o of_o three_o degree_n at_o the_o least_o you_o shall_v never_o place_v his_o head_n well_o because_o the_o straight_a cheek_n will_v keep_v up_o his_o neck_n and_o thrust_v out_o his_o nose_n and_o he_o shall_v have_v his_o neck_n force_v to_o yield_v and_o his_o nose_n keep_v in_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a sort_n if_o to_o a_o horse_n of_o large_a long_a forehand_n you_o put_v a_o bytte_n of_o much_o

shall_v have_v his_o neck_n keep_v up_o straight_o and_o stiff_o and_o only_o his_o head_n bring_v down_o to_o answer_v it_o therefore_o as_o i_o say_v
