because_o her_o foal_v time_n shall_v be_v near_o the_o spring_n of_o grass_n the_o which_o opinion_n and_o practice_n i_o think_v fit_a likewise_o
to_o examine_v there_o be_v not_o any_o man_n of_o experience_n the_o can_n true_o deny_v but_o if_o the_o mare_n be_v lusty_a and_o in_o perfection_n of_o health_n when_o she_o foal_v at_o what_o time_n of_o the_o year_n soever_o it_o be_v but_o that_o she_o have_v more_o milk_n for_o three_o week_n or_o a_o month_n than_o the_o foal_n be_v able_a to_o suck_v and_o to_o continue_v plentiful_a in_o milk_n let_v she_o present_o after_o foal_v be_v milk_v so_o clean_o as_o may_v be_v and_o so_o continue_v until_o the_o curd_n in_o her_o udder_n be_v break_v and_o dissolve_v which_o will_v
