therefore_o it_o be_v true_o say_v that_o every_o man_n and_o beast_n work_v according_a to_o the_o quality_n of_o his_o nature_n follow_v the_o drist_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v the_o temperature_n

the_o species_n be_v a_o thing_n existent_a only_o in_o imagination_n not_o have_v any_o real_a be_v but_o as_o we_o conceive_v of_o it_o in_o the_o particular_n it_o be_v a_o necessary_a illation_n

and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o horse_n be_v neither_o of_o continuance_n or_o goodness_n as_o in_o former_a time_n for_o if_o the_o natural_a vigour_n of_o the_o species_n be_v by_o little_a

instead_o of_o choose_v the_o right_a way_n by_o judgement_n of_o reason_n do_v stand_v still_o amaze_v and_o in_o that_o amazement_n conclude_v that_o all_o come_v to_o one_o as_o who_o will_v say_v

direction_n in_o breed_n 1._o first_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o which_o most_o import_v generation_n be_v that_o the_o meat_n which_o the_o horse_n and_o mare_n that_o be_v to_o beget_v and_o bring_v forth_o do_v feed_v upon_o be_v in_o quality_n hot_a and_o dry_a because_o the_o seed_n and_o matter_n whereof_o the_o colt_n be_v frame_v must_v be_v tart_n and_o bite_a grow_v from_o the_o saltness_n thereof_o &_o so_o become_v hot_a and_o dry_a where_o through_o the_o seed_n vessel_n be_v stir_v to_o generation_n and_o do_v according_a to_o their_o weight_n and_o measure_n enter_v into_o the_o composition_n of_o the_o colt_n and_o so_o be_v always_o to_o endure_v in_o the_o mixture_n 2._o second_o if_o the_o brain_n be_v pure_a the_o sensible_a soul_n of_o the_o colt_n go_v always_o unite_v with_o the_o disposition_n thereof_o which_o direct_v the_o body_n to_o every_o action_n and_o nothing_o offend_v the_o sensitive_a soul_n so_o much_o as_o to_o make_v his_o abode_n in_o a_o heavy_a body_n surcharge_v with_o great_a bone_n and_o heavy_a flesh_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n which_o plato_n yield_v that_o the_o best_a and_o fine_a mettle_n horse_n be_v of_o thin_a bone_n but_o if_o the_o horse_n be_v not_o of_o a_o just_a and_o true_a proportion_n of_o temperature_n then_o undoubted_o there_o be_v not_o any_o such_o perfection_n in_o that_o horse_n 3._o three_o the_o seed_n be_v mere_a vegetative_a and_o not_o capable_a of_o the_o sense_n but_o only_o follow_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o temperature_n therefore_o if_o the_o seed_n be_v perfect_a it_o possess_v such_o force_n that_o after_o the_o meat_n be_v digest_v and_o alter_v it_o make_v they_o though_o bad_a and_o gross_a to_o turn_v to_o his_o own_o temperature_n and_o substance_n and_o yet_o can_v utter_o deprive_v the_o same_o of_o the_o inherent_a quality_n for_o the_o humour_n do_v attain_v the_o quality_n which_o the_o meat_n have_v before_o it_o be_v eat_v 4._o four_o there_o must_v be_v great_a discretion_n use_v in_o feed_v of_o the_o mare_n until_o she_o have_v foal_v jest_n by_o long_a use_n of_o overbad_v meat_n womb_n the_o mean_n to_o preserve_v the_o colt_n in_o the_o womb_n the_o colt_n in_o the_o womb_n be_v impair_v of_o that_o quality_n of_o temperature_n it_o have_v from_o the_o seed_n for_o otherwise_o it_o little_o avail_v to_o have_v beget_v a_o colt_n of_o perfect_a seed_n if_o you_o make_v no_o reckon_n of_o the_o meat_n which_o afterward_o the_o mare_n feed_v upon_o and_o therefore_o the_o mare_n may_v not_o so_o far_o eat_v of_o contrary_a meat_n as_o the_o colt_n shall_v lose_v those_o good_a quality_n which_o it_o receive_v of_o the_o seed_n whereof_o it_o be_v make_v and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v clear_a but_o never_o observe_v by_o any_o for_o at_o the_o beginning_n the_o same_o be_v make_v of_o delicate_a seed_n and_o that_o the_o colt_n grow_v every_o day_n impayr_v and_o consume_v and_o be_v to_o be_v repair_v by_o the_o aliment_n &_o food_n it_o take_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o they_o be_v bad_a and_o of_o evil_a temperature_n that_o the_o continual_a use_n of_o they_o be_v in_o the_o womb_n will_v make_v great_a alteration_n in_o nature_n and_o therefore_o to_o continue_v the_o colt_n in_o the_o excellency_n of_o his_o temperature_n it_o behove_v that_o the_o sustenance_n it_o take_v be_v endow_v with_o the_o same_o quality_n as_o the_o cold_a do_v not_o exceed_v the_o heat_n nor_o the_o moist_a the_o dry_a 5._o five_o it_o appear_v that_o colt_n beget_v when_o the_o horse_n and_o mare_n go_v to_o grass_n whereof_o all_o our_o practice_n be_v witness_n can_v be_v beget_v but_o of_o cold_a and_o moist_a seed_n how_o excellent_a soever_o the_o horse_n and_o mare_n be_v neither_o can_v the_o same_o colt_n after_o they_o be_v foal_v by_o any_o possibility_n be_v restore_v to_o perfection_n of_o temperature_n by_o the_o best_a keep_v in_o the_o world_n because_o they_o take_v
