not_o to_o any_o great_a danger_n or_o hazard_n to_o prevent_v sickness_n that_o it_o offend_v not_o your_o horse_n at_o all_o it_o be_v a_o excellent_a course_n when_o you_o put_v your_o horse_n to_o

your_o horse_n blood_n to_o proportion_v the_o quantity_n which_o you_o take_v from_o he_o according_a to_o the_o goodness_n or_o badness_n of_o the_o blood_n when_o you_o behold_v it_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o good_a blood_n be_v unwholesome_a and_o do_v hurt_v and_o to_o preserve_v ill_a blood_n be_v both_o dangerous_a and_o noisome_a also_o if_o you_o observe_v when_o you_o take_v blood_n from_o your_o horse_n to_o rcceive_v it_o into_o a_o vessel_n and_o by_o stir_v it_o about_o continual_o as_o the_o horse_n bleed_v to_o keep_v it_o from_o clot_v then_o have_v bleed_v to_o take_v

as_o thus_o you_o observe_v his_o ordure_n so_o you_o must_v also_o observe_v his_o urine_n of_o both_o which_o i_o have_v write_v sufficient_o in_o my_o former_a book_n as_o these_o quality_n of_o feed_v and_o empty_v so_o you_o shall_v note_v his_o quality_n in_o rest_n and_o watch_v that_o be_v in_o his_o lie_v down_o and_o stand_v up_o what_o hour_n and_o time_n he_o observe_v for_o either_o and_o how_o long_o he_o persever_v in_o they_o and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n you_o find_v any_o sudden_a or_o gross_a alteration_n then_o be_v assure_v of_o some_o sickness_n approach_v and_o thus_o of_o any_o other_o particular_a quality_n in_o your_o horse_n which_o you_o shall_v observe_v in_o his_o health_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o nominate_v all_o if_o you_o find_v they_o sudden_o to_o surprise_v it_o be_v doubtless_o that_o there_o be_v some_o sickness_n follow_v as_o you_o thus_o observe_v the_o complexion_n &_o quality_n of_o the_o horse_n so_o you_o must_v observe_v his_o natural_a custom_n and_o condition_n and_o how_o in_o his_o livelihood_n and_o best_a health_n he_o stand_v affect_v for_o to_o name_v they_o i_o can_v because_o they_o proceed_v most_o from_o hide_a

the_o cure_n of_o these_o inward_a sickness_n and_o although_o every_o several_a sickness_n have_v a_o several_a cure_n as_o i_o have_v show_v at_o large_a in_o my_o book_n yet_o i_o will_v draw_v all_o here_o into_o one_o hide_a but_o certain_a and_o most_o infallible_a approve_a method_n which_o i_o have_v never_o find_v prosperous_a and_o fortunate_a whensoever_o either_o by_o the_o sign_n before_o rehearse_v or_o other_o accident_n or_o knowledge_n you_o shall_v find_v your_o horse_n grievous_o pain_v with_o inward_a sickness_n the_o first_o thing_n you_o do_v you_o shall_v open_v

and_o putrefaction_n so_o than_o you_o shall_v let_v the_o horse_n bleed_v well_o till_o the_o blood_n change_n neither_o must_v you_o be_v nice_a or_o tender_a in_o this_o action_n because_o you_o must_v understand_v that_o all_o inward_a sickness_n in_o horse_n draw_v their_o effect_n from_o the_o putrefaction_n of_o the_o blood_n only_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n it_o be_v certain_a

those_o sudden_a death_n of_o horse_n for_o which_o our_o weak_a farrier_n can_v give_v but_o a_o idle_a and_o foolish_a account_n but_o to_o return_v to_o my_o purpose_n after_o you_o have_v take_v away_o good_a store_n of_o blood_n and_o as_o you_o imagine_v all_o or_o at_o least_o most_o part_n of_o that_o which_o be_v corrupt_a you_o shall_v then_o set_v he_o up_o in_o the_o stable_a tie_v
