which_o arise_v from_o such_o large_a wound_n in_o the_o barrs_n be_v that_o they_o penetrate_v to_o very_a bone_n and_o corrupt_v it_o cause_n small_a splinter_n of_o bone_n to_o fall_v from_o it_o where_o the_o bar_n remain_v always_o after_o void_a and_o hollow_a and_o which_o although_o it_o may_v be_v cover_v with_o the_o cicatrice_n or_o heal_v up_o of_o the_o wound_n yet_o will_v neither_o

with_o a_o entire_a certainty_n if_o a_o horse_n mouth_n be_v good_a you_o must_v les_fw-fr he_o part_n or_o put_v he_o on_o pretty_a smart_o and_o then_o present_o stop_v he_o by_o his_o part_n you_o
