limb_n abate_v his_o speed_n 2._o except_o your_o horse_n be_v a_o foul_a feeder_n muzzle_v he_o not_o above_o two_o or_o three_o night_n before_o his_o match_n and_o the_o night_n before_o his_o bloody_a course_n 3._o as_o you_o give_v your_o horse_n gentle_a course_n give_v he_o sharp_a one_o too_o that_o he_o may_v as_o well_o find_v comfort_n as_o displeasure_n thereon_o 4._o upon_o the_o match-day_n let_v your_o horse_n be_v empty_a and_o that_o he_o take_v his_o rest_n undisturbed_a till_o you_o lead_v he_o out_o 5._o shoo_n your_o horse_n ever_o a_o day_n before_o you_o run_v he_o that_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o hammer_n knock_n may_v be_v out_o of_o his_o foot_n 6._o saddle_v your_o horse_n on_o the_o race-day_n in_o the_o stable_n before_o you_o lead_v he_o forth_o and_o fix_v both_o the_o panel_n and_o the_o girth_n to_o his_o back_n and_o side_n with_o shoemaker_n wax_n to_o prevent_v all_o danger_n 7._o lead_v your_o horse_n to_o his_o course_n with_o all_o gentleness_n and_o give_v he_o leave_v to_o smell_v to_o other_o horse_n dung_n that_o thereby_o he_o may_v be_v entice_v to_o stole_n and_o empty_a his_o body_n as_o he_o go_v 8._o last_o when_o you_o come_v to_o the_o place_n where_o you_o must_v start_v first_o rub_v his_o limb_n well_o then_o unclothe_v he_o then_o take_v his_o back_n and_o the_o word_n give_v start_v he_o with_o all_o gentleness_n and_o quietness_n that_o may_v lest_o do_v any_o thing_n rash_o you_o choke_v he_o in_o his_o own_o wind_n a_o race-horse_n ought_v to_o have_v all_o the_o fine_a shape_n that_o may_v be_v but_o above_o all_o thing_n he_o must_v be_v nimble_a quick_a and_o fiery_a apt_a to_o fly_v with_o the_o least_o motion_n long_o shape_n be_v tolerable_o good_a for_o though_o they_o show_v weakness_n yet_o they_o
