so_o good_a for_o he_o will_v then_o wax_v dull_a weak_a &_o feeble_a wherefore_o then_o it_o be_v best_a to_o feed_v he_o and_o so_o to_o sell_v he_o a_o ox_n will_v live_v well_o 15_o or_o 16._o

likewise_o it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o labour_v with_o any_o bull_n among_o your_o ox_n labour_n for_o he_o will_v be_v stubborn_a and_o sullen_a and_o love_v to_o be_v a_o master_n over_o the_o

will_v live_v well_o 15._o year_n but_o after_o she_o will_v wax_v feeble_a and_o wear_v also_o you_o shall_v not_o let_v a_o cow_n take_v the_o bull_n before_o she_o be_v three_o year_n old_a for_o when_o young_a kine_n go_v to_o the_o bull_n they_o bring_v forth_o common_o small_a and_o weak_a calf_n therefore_o some_o husband_n will_v never_o wean_v the_o first_o calf_n of_o a_o cow_n and_o

to_o take_v the_o bull_n for_o the_o abundance_n of_o herb_n will_v provoke_v and_o put_v she_o in_o heat_n so_o that_o you_o shall_v not_o then_o constrain_v she_o a_o cow_n will_v go_v with_o calf_n ten_o month_n if_o a_o cow_n refuse_v or_o the_o bull_n will_v not_o cover_v she_o you_o shall_v make_v they_o have_v appetite_n as_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o among_o the_o horse_n and_o mare_n and_o as_o it_o be_v afore_o rehearse_v and_o then_o you_o shall_v diminish_v her_o pasture_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o abundance_n of_o grass_n do_v not_o make_v her_o barren_a for_o a_o cow_n be_v

if_o she_o lie_v down_o on_o the_o left_a side_n be_v to_o judge_v a_o cow_n calf_n and_o when_o you_o shall_v judge_v she_o have_v take_v by_o refuse_v the_o bull_n which_o thing_n do_v not_o always_o happen_v true_a for_o although_o she_o have_v take_v yet_o many_o kine_n be_v not_o satisfy_v for_o some_o brute_n beast_n will_v have_v a_o voluptuous_a desire_n above_o nature_n as_o well_o
